It's no wonder they think so. Fang Yuan is the son of the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture. He is used to being lawless in Lin'an City and has ruined countless girls from innocent families.

On the other side, today was the first time the granary was opened to release grain. Ji Huaian came to take a look for fear of trouble, and he was accompanied by Fang Yuan’s father, the prefect Fang Xuchuan, and his men.

Fang Xuchuan followed behind Ji Huaian with a smile on his face and kept saying something. Suddenly, the commotion of the crowd not far away made everyone stop.

Ji Huaian looked at the sound and walked towards that direction. Fang Xuchuan, who was following behind Ji Huaian, had a bad feeling when he saw the familiar servants.

Fang Yuan held Jiang Rou's hand and walked out of the crowd. The more Jiang Rou cried and shouted, the more excited he became. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his hand and let go of Jiang Rou's hand.

Jiang Rou also fell to the ground, a hideous red mark appeared on her white wrist. After Fu Yun pushed Fang Yuan away, he asked Jiang Rou, "Girl, are you okay?" When he saw the wound on her wrist, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

Jiang Rou's eyes were filled with tears. She bit her lower lip and shook her head, then lowered her head and shed tears silently. Fu Yun, who had never had contact with a woman, was a little at a loss when he saw her like this.

One of Fang Yuan's hands was broken by Fuyun, and now he was rolling on the ground, shouting, "Do you know who my father is? I'm going to kill you."

Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face as soon as he finished speaking, and then he heard a familiar voice, "You rebellious son, shut up."

Fang Yuan was stunned. When he looked up, he saw his father with an angry face. He was about to say something but shut his mouth when he met the other party's warning eyes.

When Fang Xuchuan saw his son shut up, he immediately bowed to Ji Huaian and confessed his guilt, "I hope the prince will forgive me. My son is very playful and has disturbed your peace. I will send someone to send him home and take good care of him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Huaian's voice rang out, "Really? Lord Fang doesn't know what happened yet. Don't jump to conclusions. It would be bad if you misunderstand the noble young master." After saying that, he looked up at Fang Xuchuan and asked, "What do you think, Lord Fang?"

Without waiting for Fang Xuchuan to answer, Ji Huaian took two steps forward to Jiang Rou and asked, "Tell me in detail what happened." Jiang Rou lowered her head so that no one could see the expression on her face.

Jiang Rou slowly raised her head, her red and swollen eyes filled with tears again. When she saw Ji Huaian, she fiercely grabbed the corner of his clothes and said in a mournful voice, "Sir, you have to do the decision for me."

Ji Huaian saw her movements and wanted to pull him and the other person apart, but unfortunately Jiang Rou seemed to have used all her strength and Ji Huaian couldn't get rid of her no matter what.

Jiang Rou repeated the story while crying. She raised her head to reveal her fair little face, and looked at Ji Huaian with trust, "Everything I said is true, my lord. I hope you will make the decision."

After saying that, Jiang Rou let go of Ji Huaian. Fu Yun, who was standing beside her, felt a little reluctant to see her like this and said, "Get up quickly. Our adults have always been fair."

Hearing Fuyun say this, Jiang Rou's eyes lit up. She said, "Really?", but maybe because she had been kneeling on the ground for too long, her legs went weak as soon as she stood up and she fell forward.

Fuyun was just about to go and help when he saw the girl falling towards the prince. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw his own prince turning sideways. If it weren't for his quick eyes and hands, Jiang Rou would have fallen straight to the ground.

Jiang Rou miscalculated. When Fuyun caught her, she simply pretended to faint. Sure enough, Fuyun said to Ji Huaian, "Prince, she is fainted."

Ji Huaian's eyes didn't waver. He turned the ring on his hand and said, "Send him to the clinic."

When Jiang Rou opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on the bed in the clinic. Fu Yun, who had brought her to the clinic, was gone. There was only a little guard guarding her, who left when he saw her wake up.

After he left, Jiang Rou was the only one left in the clinic room. She knew that with her identity, she would never be able to have anything to do with Ji Huaian in this life, so she took advantage of Fang Yuan.

Although it did not meet her expectations, it was still good overall. After all, she had figured out how to treat Ji Huaian, and her target from the beginning to now has been Ji Huaian.

After leaving the clinic, Jiang Rou walked on the street, looking at the streets that had regained some order. She didn't know how long Ji Huaian could stay here, but if the trend continued, it wouldn't be too long. The progress was too slow, she thought.

As night fell, the lights in the prefectural mansion were brightly lit. Fang Yuan was tied to a stool, and his cries echoed throughout the mansion. He shouted, "Dad, save me, Mom, Mom, I was wrong, save me."

Fang Xuchuan couldn't handle today's incident, so he made up his mind to punish Fang Yuan and entrusted Fuyun and Qingfan to watch over him.

Fang Yuan watched the wooden stick getting closer and closer to him, his throat almost breaking from shouting, but the person he hoped for had not yet arrived.

Screams were heard. Fang Xuchuan, who was sitting in the inner room drinking tea, clenched his teacup. Ji Huaian watched him with interest. He looked even more handsome in a white wide-sleeved brocade robe.

"Master, please forgive Yuaner," a cry was heard, and a woman with a bun in her hair rushed in.

As soon as she came in, she knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, "Master, I only have Yuan'er as your son. If anything happens to him, how can I live?" She cried miserably.

How could Fang Xuchuan not feel distressed? Taking Ji Huaian's presence into consideration, he scolded him coldly, "How can you cry and yell so loudly? It's all because of you that Fang Yuan has become like this. He must be punished if he does something wrong."

Seeing that Fang Xuchuan was determined to teach Fang Yuan a lesson, Mrs. Fang pleaded with Ji Huaian who was standing beside her, "Sir, please be magnanimous. Considering our master's hard work over the years, please spare my son this time."

Ji Huaian's eyes were blocked by the mist and he couldn't see clearly. He sighed and said, "Mrs. Fang really loves her son and Lord Fang is doing this for your son's own good. He is still young and easy to discipline. Don't worry, Fuyun and Qingfan are watching over him and nothing will happen. I have something else to do and won't keep you company." After saying that, he walked out, ignoring the couple who were performing a duet in the room.

After Ji Huaian left, both of them were stunned. Madam Fang put away the expression on her face, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and sat opposite Fang Xuchuan. She said in a cold voice, "Do you think he knows something?"

There was no trace of sadness on her face. When Fang Xuchuan heard her question, he shook his head with certainty and said, "Absolutely impossible. He is just a young boy. He doesn't have that much ability."

Seeing how confident he was, Mrs. Fang was still a little worried and wanted to say something when Fang Xuchuan interrupted her, "It's a pity that Yuan'er suffered physical pain."

Mrs. Fang sneered, "Are you still thinking about your good-for-nothing son or my wife who has taken over my status?"

When Fang Xuchuan heard her say this, he immediately said, "Yan'er, you know, I only love you. I'm just afraid that Ji Huaian will see through the flaw."

Hearing him say this, Mrs. Fang was slightly satisfied. She poured herself a cup of tea and said, "Don't worry, I have already given instructions to those people. It's just superficial injuries. It's time to take care of Fang Yuan. If he ruins the master's plan, both you and I will be in trouble."
