Chapter 284: Kill The Chicken To Scare The Monkey: Knowing When to Stop“Father, are you reprimanding me over her?” Third Young Master said in disbelief.
The crowd also looked at Lou Jinglei with dumbfounded expressions.
Everyone knew that because Third Young Master had great talents, he brought pride to Lou Jinglei in the Imperial City. Therefore, Lou Jinglei favored him most. Usually, Lou Jinglei would not bear to harshly speak to him, let alone reprimand him.
The gazes looking at Lou Qianxue and the others changed.
Are they really just people from small cities?
The Prefectural Governor reprimanded Third Young Master because of them!
Lou Jinglei"s cheek twitched, and he felt terrible deep down.
However, he had no choice!
He couldn"t help it since Dan Taiyuan was a powerful person in the Heavenly Martial Realm that he could not mess with!
In the end, he let out a sight. He couldn"t bear to blame his son anymore, so he looked at Lou Qianxue. “Niece Qianxue, look, I have already taught Lin a lesson on your behalf. Let the matter rest here.”
Meanwhile, Lou Potian, who should be the one calling the shots, was totally ignored.
Lou Qianxue glanced at Lou Xiaoxiao, whose shoulder was b.l.o.o.d.y, and the injured junior. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she sneered. “That"s it? How can it be so simple? Third Young Master wanted to kill us!”
When everyone heard this, they all gasped.
“This woman is crazy, huh?”
“The Prefectural Governor has already given her some face, and she still wants to find fault?”
“She"s so obnoxious. She won"t even leave some pride for the Prefectural Governor!”
Third Young Master became even angrier, and he furiously said, “Father, do you see that? Even if I don"t pursue this matter, this b*tch won"t let it go. So let me—”
Lou Jinglei nervously stared at Dan Taiyuan. He saw his cold and merciless gaze, then he suddenly looked at Third Young Master as if he were a dead person. His mind went blank, and he suddenly raised his hand.
Pa!
A tight slap.
A slap landed on Third Young Master"s face.
“…” Third Young Master couldn"t complete what he was about to say..
Everyone"s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets!
This was the first time in history that Lou Jinglei, the Prefectural Governor in Fengyang Prefecture, had beaten Third Young Master in front of so many people!
“Father! How can you do this. You"re not my father! I"m going to find Mother!” Third Young Master resentfully and unbelievably shook his head. His eyes were red.
Moreover, everyone"s shocked and strange gaze pierced his heart. He could not stand it any longer, so he pulled up his sleeves and walked away.
Lou Jinglei glanced at his still aching palm, and his face turned dark. Then, he looked at Lou Qianxue. “Niece Qianxue, I promise that in the future, Lin will never take action against you again. And as for the matter today, I will also give you an explanation.”
As he said, his sorrowful gaze fell on Lou Ying, who was trembling in the distance.
He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to shoot out a cold light.
Whoosh!
A delicate little sword instantly pierced Lou Ying"s heart.
His chest overflowed with blood, and his eyes widened in despair.
With a bang, he fell straight down.
Lou Jinglei"s attack was vicious and quick, and Lou Ying died before anyone could react.
An inexplicable chill spread across the court.
Lou Jinglei calmly looked at Lou Qianxue and said with a smile. “On the way here, I heard about the beginning and the end of the incident. It all started with him. I killed him, so let this incident stop at him as well. Is this good?”
Lou Qianxue put away her Frost Sword. “Indeed it"s so. I would like to thank Prefectural Governor.”
She knew when to stop.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. It was just right.
After this incident, the people in the Prefectural Governor"s mansion no longer dared to take them lightly.
