Seeing that Yizixie did not answer, Zheng Fan asked loudly again, "Why did you take off my pants?"
"Who took off your pants?"
This divine answer ultimately made it impossible for anyone to hold back, and they burst into laughter.
Naturally, the one who burst into laughter was Yizixie.
The people in the room wanted to laugh but dared not.
As for Zheng Wei, he was in no mood to laugh.
And Sima Han, he was always reserved, he was chuckling.
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily, "Yizixie, do you still have any shame to say that? You're still the Grand Tutor..."
Upon hearing this, Yizixie's face instantly turned serious. "You still know I'm the Grand Tutor?"
As soon as Yizixie finished speaking, Zheng Fan heard someone else say, "My son, who wants to take off your pants? Let mother妃 beat this little vixen who climbed into bed to death."
Hearing this, Zheng Fan's eyes widened slightly, and he looked towards the gate. Indeed, he saw his mother, Concubine Lian Qing, walk in.
"Mother妃..."
Zheng Fan said vaguely, and then his cheeks instantly turned bright red.
He had been so confused just now, how could he not have heard clearly whose voice it was, and actually thought Yizixie was taking advantage of him.
Yizixie then said, "Someone like you, I wouldn't want even if you were given to me for free. Do you think everyone calls you father and mother? Look at what you are."
Yizixie's words made Zheng Fan's eyes bulge. This damned Yizixie.
Lian Qing had also seen the situation in the courtyard by now, and she couldn't believe it.
Originally, Zheng Caiying had rushed into her courtyard, panting, and insisted that she come to Run'er's place to see, saying something had happened.
Coupled with what she had heard at the gate just now, she had thought some slut dared to climb into bed and was caught by Zheng Caiying, which was why she had told her.
Therefore, without thinking, she had said that just now outside.
But who could tell her what the current situation was?
Her son, her Run'er, was actually hanging under the eaves, and he wasn't even wearing pants.
Who were these three people in the courtyard?
"Who are you? Guards, arrest them!"
Lian Qing ordered repeatedly, not having time to look at who the three people in front of her were.
The maids and aunties following behind Lian Qing, upon hearing her order, quickly turned around and went to call for help.
They had truly not expected something like this to happen, so what followed were merely maids and aunties.
To arrest the three people in front of them, they still needed the guards of the manor.
Seeing the maids and aunties leave, Yizixie and Sima Han merely glanced at them casually, without any reaction.
As for Zheng Wei, he was looking down, lost in thought.
Lian Qing ignored everything else; her eyes were now full of Zheng Fan.
Therefore, ignoring the obstruction of the people behind her, she walked forward quickly and pointed at Yizixie, saying, "Did you do this to my son? Hurry up and put him down, or Princess Ben will take your life."
Upon hearing this, Yizixie pointed at his own face in surprise. "You, take my life?"
This was indeed the funniest joke he had ever heard.
Even in the Holy Spirit Continent, no one had ever spoken to him like this.
Let alone coming here.
The woman in front of him had no brains.
"Indeed, as the mother, so the son."
Yizixie's words made Lian Qing even more furious. "What do you mean? Princess Ben told you to put the person down, did you hear me?"
Yizixie glanced at Lian Qing coldly. "So what if I heard? So what if I didn't hear? Say one more word, and I'll hang you up."
This statement had truly ignited Lian Qing.
She had been pampered and doted on since childhood, and after marrying Zheng Xiang, she was honored as a princess. Even Zheng Xiang had never spoken a harsh word to her. Now, this little brat who had appeared out of nowhere dared to speak to her like this.
At that moment, Lian Qing did not wait for the guards to arrive, and did not care about her status as a princess. She swiftly attacked Yizixie.
As the Princess of Prince Duan, Lian Qing was not a delicate and weak woman; she knew some martial arts.
However, her amateur skills, in Yizixie's eyes, were not even considered flashy.
Within just a few moves, Lian Qing was entangled by ropes that Yizixie had taken out at some unknown time.
Lian Qing struggled a few times, but it was in vain.
"Hurry up and let go of Princess Ben, otherwise, when the Prince returns, he will surely make you pay."
Hearing Lian Qing's shouting, Yizixie remained unmoved.
He had figured it out. This family, they were truly a family, all cut from the same cloth. They only knew how to shout and make a fuss, but in reality, they had no ability of their own and relied entirely on others.
"I hope the person you rely on is not as useless as the person your son relies on."
Yizixie's words made Lian Qing a little stunned. What did that mean?
Lian Qing did not understand, but Zheng Fan had already understood.
Yizixie meant that Lian Qing was useless.
But these words could not be spoken.
The maids and aunties who had gone to call for guards returned. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Lian Qing bound by Yizixie.
The group was startled at first, and then they shouted, "Quick, quick, go save the Princess!"
The guards who followed behind, seeing the situation and hearing the aunties' orders, did not hesitate to draw their swords and charged towards Yizixie.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these people all skirted around Zheng Wei as they passed him, not bothering him just because he was sitting in the middle of the road.
When the guards reached Yizixie's vicinity, they began to attack him.
Yizixie was not an idiot, so he naturally wouldn't stand there waiting to be beaten. However, he did not actively counterattack; he merely dodged left and right, constantly using Lian Qing as a shield in front of him.
Sima Han had wanted to help, but Yizixie stopped him. "You go watch from the side, let me have some fun."
Sima Han's eyes flickered at this, and he eventually retreated to the side.
Yizixie not letting him interfere was partly because he wanted to have some fun himself, but more importantly, he was afraid that if things escalated to the Emperor and the Grand Emperor later, it would be difficult to explain.
He was the Grand Tutor, so he feared nothing.
What he feared was that he was currently a prince, without power or influence, and in front of the Emperor and Grand Emperor, he could only be passive.
Yizixie always kept Lian Qing in front of him, so naturally, the guards were somewhat apprehensive when attacking.
However, even so, sharp blades still scratched Lian Qing's clothes.
Before long, Lian Qing's clothes were tattered, hanging on her like rags.
Feeling a slight chill sweeping in from all directions, Lian Qing's face became even more unsightly, and she finally roared, "All of you, stop!"
Hearing Lian Qing's order, the guards stopped their attacks one by one and stood frozen, unsure of what to do.
Yizixie smiled faintly. "Tell them all to retreat to the main gate."
Lian Qing gritted her teeth upon hearing this, silently cursing them as useless in her heart, but she had to give the order verbally.
The guards hesitated and were reluctant to retreat, but Lian Qing scolded them away.
Watching the guards retreat, Lian Qing said, "Now you can let me go, right?"
Yizixie chuckled and said innocently, "When did I ever say I would let you go after they retreated?"
"You..."
Lian Qing glared at him.
But upon careful consideration, he really hadn't said that.
While Lian Qing was thinking, she suddenly felt her feet leave the ground.
Looking down, she saw that the ground was already quite far below her, and her body was still continuously rising.
