The Anarchic Consort

“Who dares to touch the little master!” Eunuch Sun had a sharp voice by nature, but it was even more penetrating when it was resounded through the restaurant!

Liao Qingtian looked over to the direction of the voice, and all of a sudden, his face turned pale!

Liao Qingtian had the opportunity to meet the Retired Emperor four years ago when he came to the provincial capital on an inspection tour. Seeing the Retired Emperor again left him dumbfounded.

Re, Retired Emperor, how come he is here!?

Looking at the expression of Liao Qingtian, Little Seventh Prince knew he recognized the Retired Emperor, so he turned around and started showing off, “Grandfather, they wanted to beat me up.”

Grand, grand, grandfather?!

Liao Qingtian froze on the spot, his eyes glared in disbelief!

He never expected this shabby little monk to be the Seventh Prince whom the Retired Emperor adored the most.

So, all those words that he had said just now… At the thought of it, the forehead of Liao Qingtian broke out in a cold sweat.

On the other hand, Liao Wenwen did not know about this and was still unaware of the situation. Turning over to Eunuch Sun, she then started to speak rudely, ” Since your people have arrived, you better give me a proper apology.”

At this point in time, she is still thinking about getting an apology? Eunuch Sun was so mad that he set his arms akimbo. “This lady, not to mention whether our little master had actually done anything wrong, even if he did, must you, as an adult, be this unforgiving?”

“You!” Liao Wenwen was trying to say something again!

Liao Qingtian could feel his brain swelling up to the maximum point, he stopped her, then smiled at Eunuch Sun and said, “It’s a misunderstanding, everything is no more than a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?” Eunuch Sun snorted coldly. How could he believe that everything was just a misunderstanding, he heard them saying that they were going to hang the Little Highness up before beating him!

Liao Qingtian used a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on his face. “It’s really just a misunderstanding.”

While he was talking, he took a glance at the Retired Emperor, who radiated power and authority even without showing anger.

The expression in the eyes of the Retired Emperor was faint, even at this moment, he was concealing his emotions perfectly. “Little Seven, come over, let’s get back to the room and continue eating.” Leaving this sentence behind, he then entered the private room again.

The little guy nodded his head vigorously. He then washed his hands, and slowly walked toward the door.

Liao Qingtian knew that they had definitely offended the Retired Emperor. As he was not allowed to enter the private room, he had no choice but to rub his hands and talk to the little one, “Little Seventh Prince, your humble servant hasn’t met you before, that was why I spoke rudely toward you. The same is true with my daughter, she has no ill intentions but a slow brain. Can you please be magnanimous and forgive both of us?”

“It is not a matter of whether to forgive, or not.” The little one took a bite of the meat bun in his hand, he spoke with extreme supremacy, “Wasn’t she hoping to compete with me over our family background? Of course, I will compete with her, it’s that simple. Since she is looking for a slap in the face, I will have to slap relentlessly.”

The Little Seventh Prince’s irony caused Liao Qingtian’s face to flush and turn pale. He was long told that the Seventh Prince was a tyrant, not only in the palace but also in the White Academy. Anyone who had offended him could be bitten to death!

Sigh, how could his daughter provoke such a little demon!

Noticing the poor complexion on her father’s face, Liao Wenwen mumbled softly, “Dad, aren’t they nothing but businessmen, why are you being so careful…”

“You, shut up!” Liao Qingtian glared at his daughter. It was his fault for spoiling her to the point where she became this undisciplined and defiant. Now, it had gotten them into deep trouble!

“I’m just voicing the truth, he was merely a businessman, which personage does he think he is…”

As soon as Liao Wenwen stopped speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open. The Retired Emperor was the first to walk out, a strong sense of oppression came from his steady voice, “I’m not a capable person. After living for half a lifetime, I have only a few people under my leadership. As compared to Miss Liao, I am inept to be considered as a personage.”

Upon hearing that, the legs of Liao Qingtian weakened and almost went down on his knees.

Up to then, he did not find anything wrong with spoiling his daughter, but now, his biggest regret was bringing his daughter out on this day!

Slap!

I can’t let this go any further!

Liao Qingtian exerted all his strength and slapped Liao Wenwen’s face!

The sound was so loud that it could be heard across the Bayview Seafood Restaurant!

Covering her face, Liao Wenwen widened her eyes in shock, “Dad, you…”

Liao Qingtian did not have time to bother, he bowed and scraped while walking behind the Retired Emperor, “Retired, Retired Emperor, my little daughter is insensible and hasn’t seen much of life yet. It was my fault, I failed to educate her right, I’m guilty!”

The Retired Emperor did not even move an eyelid, let alone responding to the words of Liao Qingtian.

Perhaps the slap was sort of effective, Liao Wenwen finally realized something was wrong as she saw her father behaving in an unusually humble manner.

Other than Elder Helian, a person whom father would treat with such respect would be… an imperial official from the Capital!

Would it be possible that the old man who had spoken just now was the present Prime Minister?

Liao Wenwen was shocked by her own speculation, but she was not aware that the position of the counterparty was actually much higher than the present Prime Minister.

Liao Qingtian tagged along behind the Retired Emperor all the way; his servile appearance attracted a lot of public attention.

After all, Liao Qingtian was a top figure in the provincial capital. He had the right to collect money and be arrogant, yet no one would dare to offend him!

Now, Liao Qingtian who used to be at the top all the time seemed like a grandson trailing behind a little guy who dressed as a monk. His humble attitude caused others to start guessing the real identity of the old man and the young…

Liao Qingtian had never been this restless. He was not allowed to enter the inn which the Retired Emperor was residing in, but being worried that capital punishment would befall him, he did not dare to leave. All he could do was to pace about the entrance of the inn anxiously. It was not until a carriage from the Capital had stopped in front of him that he seemed to be awakened from a dream. On the sight of the person who came forward, he cried, “Elderly, what should I do? Why would the Retired Emperor come to the provincial capital all of a sudden? It was so unexpected!”

“I’ve read the pigeon mail that you have sent,” Elder Helian said with a flat tone, “Don’t worry, the Retired Emperor will not punish you simply because of the things you have said. After all, you are a meritorious officer, the Retired Emperor is bound to consider the feelings of those officials in the Capital, you need not be concerned. However, you’ve got a point.”

As Liao Qingtian let out a sigh of relief, his heart immediately raced again, “What?”

“It is unlikely that the Retired Emperor will come to provincial capital without any reason, he must have heard some rumors about Bayview Restaurant. Otherwise, he definitely would not make his appearance at this time. So, you need to handle this case without leaving a trace.” Speaking of that, the eyes of Elder Helian twinkled, he then added, “Even if it means to kill the witnesses…”
