Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Whose Family Has Such a Arrogant and Domineering Woman

Jiang Ning tossed away the stone, brushed off his hands and said, “I’m waiting for you to call me ‘Master’.”

When Li Baodan returns home, his face covered in blood, he sends the entire Prince of An’s residence into a half-dead fright.

This is the old lady’s heart’s apple, her dearest child. Usually, if even a single hair falls from his head, she will raise a storm, scolding everyone around her furiously,

Imagine how much worse it is now that his entire face is bloody.

The old lady, with the support of her maidservant, turns pale with fright, almost fainting.

The responses of the Prince of An and the Princess Consort are of pure shock. “What… what happened?”

The attendant sorrowfully replied, “Today, while this servant was accompanying the Little Master on the streets, we encountered a woman of extraordinary ferocity who, without much provocation, picked up a stone and smashed it in the Little Master’s face, turning him into… well, this…”

The old lady, pained and angry, scolded vehemently, “Usually, you are all sneaky and slippery, not taking proper care of the master, and instead acting like you are masters yourselves… How do you serve, if anything untoward happens to him, I’ll skin you alive!”

The Princess Consort of An is even more distressed and calls out, “Why haven’t we hurriedly moved him back to his room and called for the Imperial Physician yet!”

The servants, in a flurry of activity, moved Li Baodan to his room and laid him down.

The Imperial Physician rushed over to treat the wounds on his face, covering it entirely with a dark black medicine.

The old lady cries out in anguish, “My lovely child, beaten to such an extent, under the very feet of the Emperor! Isn’t there any law and order left? You, his parents, are just watching as your child gets bullied and doing nothing?”

Seeing his mother so upset and angry, the always respectful Prince of An hurries to comfort her, “Don’t be anxious, Old Madam. The Imperial Physician has already said that these are just superficial injuries; they may look serious, but a few days of rest will see him well.”

“But what about the scar left on the face?”

Even after this assurance, the old lady continues to scold, pushing the Prince of An to find justice for Li Baodan.

Eventually, news reaches the ladies of the house who also flock to Li Baodan, inquiring about his well-being.

The Prince of An, flustered, says, “Old Madam, please calm down, allow your son to go and inquire about this.”

The old lady, even as she wipes her tears, insists, “You must find out who the arrogant woman is who dared to assault a man in the middle of the street!”

Once the Prince of An steps out, he summons the coachman and questions him in detail.

The coachman, who knows that he did not protect his young master well and has gotten into big trouble, kneels on the ground and keeps kowtowing: “Prince, spare me, this humble one does not recognize that woman at all. She too was in a carriage and didn’t have many attendants. She had only one coachman.”

“What did the woman look like?”

“As for her appearance, it was beyond comparison even to the ladies of our house; she was truly like a divine beauty…”

The coachman, thinking of Jiang Ning’s appearance, begins to speak enthusiastically.

“Bullshit!” The Prince of An roars angrily, “You slave, do you understand what divine beauty is? How dare you compare the ladies of our house to that outsider woman?”

The coachman quickly lowers his head.

“Humbleness could not dare to lie in front of the Prince.”

“Were there any other clues?”

“Although the woman was beautiful beyond compare, she was very ferocious. And her coachman was rather strange. He was dressed from head to toe in black, a man of few words who seemed to recognize our young master.”

Prince of An knits his brow slightly, “You’re saying this woman recognized Li Si?”

Li Baodan is the fourth in his family.

The coachman says, “Not the woman but her coachman.”

The Prince of An ponders for a moment then says, “Go and accept your punishment.”

Rushing out of the house, he sends people to find out when such a beautiful woman, guarded by a young man in black, appeared in Chang’an City and what her background could be.
