CHAPTER 510: CHAPTER 510: KNOCK OUT

Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at the open window.

He said nothing, walked to the window, and directly jumped out.

The young clerk looked down the street, feeling immense sympathy for the Heir of Marquis Beining in his heart.

He closed the doors and windows tightly and withdrew.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion sighed, "Looking at the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s attitude, I think Brother Mu will sooner or later be killed by his cousin."

"I think the possibility of the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice being killed is even greater," Chu Shun said.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion looked at Chu Shun.

Moments ago, he was mourning for the Heir of Marquis Beining, but now he switched to mourning for the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

The Heir of Marquis Beining jumped out of the window, with a few pieces of chicken still in his mouth.

He thought Chu Shun and the others would help him stall the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, so he could quietly finish eating his chicken.

He leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, and when he lifted his head, he saw the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice running towards him.

The Heir of Marquis Beining wanted to die.

He never knew his cousin was so troublesome.

He had even assigned people to keep an eye on him, afraid of running into him.

Yet he actually rushed to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to find him while he was eating; this was cutting off his means of survival.

The Heir of Marquis Beining didn’t want to go to the Ministry of Justice Prison.

With the weather so hot, the smell of the Ministry of Justice Prison... he couldn’t imagine it.

Spitting out the braised chicken in his mouth, the Heir of Marquis Beining took off running.

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice was in hot pursuit.

One running, one chasing.

In a bustling street, such relentless pursuit could only mean one thing.

Chasing a thief.

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice was wearing official attire.

Running too fast, no one could clearly see who he was chasing, they just assumed he was apprehending a criminal.

"Being chased like this by the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who knows what major crime he committed," an onlooker remarked.

"The one in front looks like the Heir of Marquis Beining," someone laughed.

"..."

Everyone coincidentally recalled the rumor about the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice having a health condition.

In the heat, it would be only a short while before sweating all over.

The Heir of Marquis Beining ran towards the Beining Marquis Mansion, surely his cousin wouldn’t beat him up in front of his parents, would he?

He had used this method to escape several predicaments.

But—

This time it didn’t work.

He ran towards the Beining Marquis Mansion, and the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice chased towards the Beining Marquis Mansion.

The Heir of Marquis Beining was terrified.

Is cousin crazy?

Does he really intend to beat him up in front of his parents?

This was his last line of defense.

The Heir of Marquis Beining ran past his house’s front door, even the servants of the Beining Marquis Mansion were a bit bewildered.

When they saw the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice chasing after, they understood what was going on and hurried to report to the Marchioness Beining.

The Heir of Marquis Beining ran ahead, reaching an alley, leaning against the wall to catch his breath.

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice chased over, only to be pulled into the alley by the neck by the Heir of Marquis Beining.

His patience with his cousin had reached its limit.

No need to endure any longer.

The Heir of Marquis Beining didn’t give the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice a chance to speak and gave him a thorough beating.

His martial arts were already slightly better than the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, plus training at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion for so long.

Beating the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice was no big deal.

After a round of thrashing, the Heir of Marquis Beining glared at the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, saying, "With the energy to chase me, you’d be better off going home to accompany your wife. If you chase me again, don’t blame me for beating you up even though I’m your cousin!"

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice leaned against the wall, his whole body in pain, wishing he could die.

He pulled out two silver notes from his sleeve.

"This time, I wasn’t capturing you..."

The Heir of Marquis Beining was a bit bewildered.

He accepted the silver notes, one for five thousand taels, another for three thousand taels.

"What is this?" the Heir of Marquis Beining asked.

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant," said the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

The Heir of Marquis Beining, "..."

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice clutched his chest.

He somewhat suspected his cousin intended to eliminate him to avoid future problems.

The pain was unbearable.

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice closed his eyes and fainted.

The Heir of Marquis Beining, "...!!!"

He quickly supported the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, shouting, "Cousin! Cousin!"

The Heir of Marquis Beining wanted to die.

He didn’t know whether to call his cousin stupid or himself stupid.

How did something so joyful turn into such a mess?

And he hadn’t even used much force.

How could cousin faint?

After carrying the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice twice, the Heir of Marquis Beining carried him for the third time.

This time he didn’t dare take him to the pharmacy, and besides, it was close to the Beining Marquis Mansion.

The Heir of Marquis Beining directly carried the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice back.

Seeing the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice unconscious, with a swollen face, the servants of the Beining Marquis Mansion were terrified.

If they guessed correctly, the cousin must have been beaten by the Young Master.

Servants quickly went to report to the Marchioness Beining.

Inside the house.

The Marchioness Beining was beaming with joy.

Eldest Young Madam Zhao was pregnant.

Mrs. Zhao hastily sent a maid to deliver the good news.

The Marchioness Beining was genuinely happy for the Zhao Family.

As she was smiling, a maid rushed in, saying, "Madam, it’s not good, the Young Master has beaten the cousin unconscious."

The smile on the Marchioness Beining’s face froze.

She quickly got up and went outside.

In the main hall, the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice sat in a chair.

Seeing the bruises on his face, the Heir of Marquis Beining raised his hand to cover his eyes.

The steward looked back at him, secretly raised his hand to check the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s breathing.

Thankfully.

He’s still alive.

But this scene happened to be seen by the Marchioness Beining.

Her heart was in her throat, glaring at the Heir of Marquis Beining, "How could you beat your cousin like this?!"

The Heir of Marquis Beining shrank his neck, "I didn’t want to either, cousin chased me for four streets."

"I thought he wanted to kill me."

"I’ve been putting up with him for a long time, and then I just couldn’t hold it in."

"Then... cousin ended up like this."

Thankfully, dad is not home; otherwise, he would have been beaten like cousin.

He can’t go home to stay these days.

The Marchioness Beining glared at him, "Your cousin was coming to congratulate you!"

The Heir of Marquis Beining scratched his head, saying, "Mom, I already know about sister-in-law being pregnant."

"You knew?!"

"You knew and still beat your cousin like this?!" The Marchioness Beining wanted to smack him.

The Heir of Marquis Beining quickly said, "Wasn’t it after I beat him that I found out?"

"Mom, cousin only has some superficial injuries. I suspect he was investigating a case outside, coupled with chasing me for so long, suffered from heatstroke, I’ve already sent for an Imperial Physician to see him."

"Mom, please apologize to Auntie for me, I’m leaving now."

Without waiting for the Marchioness Beining to agree, the Heir of Marquis Beining quickly ran away.

The Marchioness Beining was both angry and at a loss with her son.

Looking at the miserable state of the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Marchioness Beining felt a throbbing headache.

The Imperial Physician arrived quickly, looking at the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice beaten so badly, feeling a little apprehensive.

But after taking the pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It’s heatstroke."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician, for prescribing," the Marchioness Beining said.

At the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

The Heir of Marquis Beining jumped down from the window and directly intruded through it.

Seeing him come in, Chu Shun laughed, "You actually came back, we were ready to visit the prison."

"The matter has already been resolved," said the Heir of Marquis Beining.

Prince NanAn looked at him, "Is your cousin still alive?"

The Heir of Marquis Beining, "..."

"My sister-in-law is pregnant," the Heir of Marquis Beining said.

Chu Shun and the others were stunned.

Then they congratulated the Heir of Marquis Beining, "Congratulations, congratulations."

"Sister-in-law is pregnant, why congratulate me?" The Heir of Marquis Beining said in frustration.

"What else would we congratulate you for?"

"Of course, congratulations that you won’t be bothered by your cousin anymore," Chu Shun laughed.

The Heir of Marquis Beining twitched his mouth and said, "Stop rubbing salt in my wounds."

Chu Shun and the others looked puzzled.

"I just gave my cousin a good beating, I reckon he won’t let me off," the Heir of Marquis Beining said, sighing.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion couldn’t hold back, spitting out a mouthful of wine.

"Hahaha!"

The room echoed with loud, unrestrained laughter.

As the Heir of Duke Chong passed by, his face was gloomy.
