Chapter 823: Getting Into A Fight

Chapter 820 Getting Into A Fight

The scene in front of Lu Hetian stood out like a sore thumb.

Lihua had been avoiding him by hiding at the Palace, yet Ji Qingyuan was able to chat so happily with her. A fit of intense jealousy boiled within him and he was about to explode.

He had completely forgotten about being in the Palace at that moment and that he was under the public eye.

He strode up to Ji Qingyuan and grabbed him by the collar. Then he gave Ji Qingyuan a heavy punch without any explanation.

When the womenfolk saw what had transpired, every one of them went pale with fright.

Ji Qingyuan was a gentle scholar. He would never be able to go up against an opponent like Lu Hetian who was a great general with vast experience in battle.

Moreover, Ji Qingyuan’s gaze was focused on Ling Lihua and he did not notice the imminent danger.

By the time he realized what was happening, Lu Hetian’s iron fist had come smashing onto his handsome face.

Ji Qingyuan was sent sprawling to the ground and there was even blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The women screamed.

Ji Qingyuan was dazed for a moment. He reached out to touch the corner of his mouth and became furious when he saw the blood on his fingers.

He got even angrier when he saw who was the one that had hit him.

“Lu Hetian, are you crazy?” Ji Qingyuan got back to his feet on his own before any of the servants could help him up. He went straight toward Lu Hetian and reached out in an attempt to grab Lu Hetian by the collar.

However, before he could reach him, Lu Hetian lashed out with a kick and sent him falling to the ground again.

Ji Qingyuan was fuming. What a jerk!

He rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward once more, planning to go head-to-head in a fight.

Right then, Zhao Qian went forward to stop the two men after receiving an order from his master.

“Ahem, our two esteemed guests, we have invited the diplomatic envoy from Danjue for tonight’s Palace banquet. Everyone here is watching. Anything you need to settle would need to wait until after the banquet has ended.” Zhao Qian lowered his voice as he tried to talk the two out of the situation.

Ji Qingyuan was still furious. He had been struck by Lu Hetian twice for no good reason and it was extremely embarrassing.

How was he able to take this lying down?

Lu Hetian’s anger was not completely vented either.

He could not let this go based on the sole fact that Ji Qingyuan had flirted with Lihua right in front of him.

This old sleazebag, Ji Qingyuan. He looked to be a gentleman, but was in fact a lowlife. How could Lu Hetian forgive him so easily when Ji Qingyuan had done something as dishonorable

as this?

Zhao Qian was stressed over this. Even though he had managed to pull them apart, the murderous intent coming from the Grand Duke was still quite frightening.

When Zhao Qian saw the Dowager Duchess coming over, he immediately looked to her for help.

However, the Dowager Duchess ignored Lu Hetian and walked straight toward Ling Lihua.

Ling Lihua did not even bat an eyelid when she saw the two men fighting. She sat where she was and enjoyed her drink on her own.

It was only when the Dowager Duchess arrived that she finally lifted her head.

“Dowager Duchess.” The Dowager Duchess smiled and said, “Are you still planning to call me that?”

Ling Lihua was taken aback. When her eyes met the old woman’s benevolent look, Ling Lihua paused and finally called out with some awkwardness, “Mother.”

The Dowager Duchess was delighted.

Ling Lihua had been calling her ‘Dowager Duchess’ since her return and had refrained from referring to the Dowager Duchess as ‘Mother’.

Ling Lihua continued this even after the truth had been revealed.

Now that Ling Lihua was finally willing to call her ‘Mother’, the Dowager Duchess felt happy about it.

“That’s right,” the Dowager Duchess replied cheerfully.

She tugged on Ling Lihua’s hand. “Come on, let us mother and daughter sit together.”

Ling Lihua could only put down her wine cup and stand up to follow the Dowager Duchess.

Zhao Qian could sense that the murderous intent on the Grand Duke had fizzled out. He turned to look and saw that Lu Hetian had already scrambled to follow behind the Dowager Duchess and Ling Lihua.

He thought to himself, ‘The Dowager Duchess truly knows how to handle the situation.’

He sighed with relief and helped Ji Qingyuan up. “Duke Ji, you should take your seat too.”

Ji Qingyuan was still unhappy but this was not the right time to be arguing with Lu Hetian.

Nevertheless, he was not about to let this go just like that.
