Chapter 70 Deliberately looking for trouble

Although Yingqing came with the young master, this was a family banquet of the Gu family, and all those present were relatives.

Moreover, with the Crown Prince's wife taking good care of him, there was naturally no need for him to serve him personally.

He moved swiftly and silently toward a less crowded area, wanting only to find a quiet corner to temporarily escape the noisy and chaotic scene.

Unexpectedly, just as they turned the corner of the corridor, they bumped straight into Wei Qiming.

What is he doing here?

Wei Qiming was seething with anger, so of course he came to cause him trouble.

When Wei Qiming heard that the third master of the Gu family had been transferred back to the capital to take up a post, the Gu family held a grand family banquet to celebrate, so he specially sent a generous gift in the name of the Duke of Wei's mansion.

The purpose was to gain a legitimate reason to enter the banquet and make Yingqing unhappy.

How dare you try to steal his woman? Don't you even know who you are?

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips as he opened his mouth and cursed, "Where did this dog come from, daring to swagger in front of this young master?"

Ying Qing frowned slightly. Although she was angry, she knew that it was not the right time to act impulsively. So she took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Wei Qiming, however, was not about to let him off so easily. He took a step forward, blocking Ying Qing's path once more, his provocation growing even stronger: "What? Playing the coward now? Weren't you quite capable?"

Ying Qing looked at him coldly, her voice low but firm: "Young Master Wei, today is the Gu family's banquet, I hope you will behave yourself."

Wei Qiming laughed loudly, as if he had heard a joke: "Self-respect? You, a lowly servant, dare to talk to me, the young master, about self-respect?"

"You ignorant and lowly thing, you think you're so great just because you follow that cripple around all day? You should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. You're nothing but a complete lackey."

Ying Qing took a deep breath. He was not afraid of Wei Qiming's difficulties, but Wei Qiming insulted the prince as a cripple right in front of him.

"Don't go too far."

Seeing Ying Qing's angry but speechless expression, a twisted sense of pleasure appeared on Wei Qiming's face.

"Oh, are you angry? I've gone too far, what can you do about it?" Wei Qiming said, reaching out again to grab Ying Qing's collar.

Ying Qing dodged to the side, avoiding his hand. If they made a move here, it would definitely cause trouble for the prince.

However, Wei Qiming became increasingly arrogant, saying, "That bitch Chu Yueshu pretends to be a chaste and virtuous woman in front of me, but behind my back she's been having an affair with a servant."

"So? Have you tried touching it yet? How does it feel?"

Ying Qing's eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle's, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white and the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

Chu Yueshu was his nominal fiancée; she was still a virgin.

Such public insults are truly outrageous.

Wei Qiming's gaze fell on Ying Qing's clenched fist, which not only did not subside but became even more arrogant.

"Oh ho, what's wrong? You want to fight? Come on, come on, hit me here if you dare!"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Yingqing and shoved her shoulder forcefully.

He kept spewing out all sorts of vulgarities, "You bastard, don't you even know who you are? How dare you oppose this young master?"

"That little wench Chu Yueshu will be my plaything sooner or later..."

"What? You don't dare fight back? You're a coward!" Wei Qiming continued to curse, his smugness practically overflowing. "You'll spend your whole life following that good-for-nothing Gu Junze, a lowly scum like you..."

The insults became increasingly offensive, and Yingqing's rationality was on the verge of collapse under the repeated humiliations.

He stared intently at Wei Qiming, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces with his eyes.

Finally, when Wei Qiming shoved her again, the string in Yingqing's heart snapped.

Ying Qing suddenly raised her arm, filled with disgust and disdain for Wei Qiming, and slammed it straight into Wei Qiming's body.

He still retained some rationality and didn't hit him in the face.

Wei Qiming staggered a few steps from the punch, almost falling to the ground. It felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest with a heavy hammer, and a dull pain quickly spread, causing him to gasp.

That lackey really went too far.

"Well, you lowly servant, how dare you hit this young master! You're dead today!"

Wei Qiming clutched his chest and glared fiercely at Ying Qing.

He suddenly waved his hand and shouted at his subordinates behind him, "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you see me get beaten?"

"Give this arrogant brat a good beating! Beat him to death, and I, the young master, will take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

Having received their master's orders, the subordinates swarmed around Ying Qing like wolves pouncing on their prey, each one eager to fight.

These people usually just follow Wei Qiming around, using his power to bully others. They're all just flashy but useless.

Ying Qing stood firmly on the ground with agile movements, and calmly threw a punch. In the blink of an eye, the group of people were clutching their stomachs and curling up on the ground in pain, groaning incessantly.

The matter quickly escalated, and the surrounding guests, hearing the noise, gathered around out of curiosity, quickly filling the small corridor to capacity.

"You bunch of useless trash!" Wei Qiming spat angrily at his men lying on the ground.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan rushed over. Gu Junze sat in his wheelchair, his expression unreadable.

"What's going on?" Gu Junze's voice was deep and authoritative. Despite being in a wheelchair, his innate aura silenced everyone around him.

When Wei Qiming saw him arrive, his lips curled up into a mocking and provocative smile. Then, he raised an eyebrow, his arrogant and rude demeanor making people grit their teeth.

“Young Master Gu,” he deliberately drew out his words, “look at the good dog you’ve raised! How dare it defy its superior and lay a hand on me, the young master! This is utterly lawless!”

"The Marquis of Anyang's mansion is trying to cause trouble for my Duke of Wei's mansion. If we don't punish them severely today, how can my Duke of Wei's mansion save face?"

He crossed his arms, adopting a defiant stance, his eyes scanning back and forth between Gu Junze and Ying Qing.

He was clearly deliberately picking a fight, yet he's trying to escalate it into a feud between the two families.

He was the only son of the Duke of Wei, his sister was the Empress, and his nephew was the current Crown Prince, so naturally he feared nothing.

Yingqing was filled with regret, but since things had come to this, he didn't want the prince to be in a dilemma.

Suppressing his anger, he stepped forward, bowed deeply, and lowered his head. "My actions were indeed due to a moment of impulsiveness. I apologize to Prince Wei and hope for your forgiveness."

Although he tried his best to remain humble, his trembling eyelashes betrayed the resentment and anger he was trying so hard to hide.

Wei Qiming sneered, "Apologize? Hmph, if apologizing were that simple, wouldn't everyone be able to offend this young master at will?"

"Besides, if you're going to apologize, then you need to be sincere. Kneel down for me!"
