Pei Jin was going through the final documents when Zan informs him about the situation. He immediately puts all the blame in his brother and vows to peel his skin later. With dark face he put's the unfinished document inside and orders Zan to have the matter informed to his parents.
With Tao as his tail he heads towards the place cursing Pei Zhang all the way. While the servants who ran earlier also had informed of the matter and the madams immediately ran to the residence of imperial uncle for help.
Imperial uncle acted as if being in dilemma but at the end he gives a sigh "hah... you ah... though I am an elder... these matters are not for me to handle.. as junwang has arrived it should be him settling this matter... hah.. forget it.. he is still but a child interested in playing around.. fine benwang will see what the matter is.."
The madams thanks and praise the imperial uncle to sky and all sit in their carriage rushing to the place. Finally reaching the place they were shocked to see their husband black and blue swollen till barely recognizable.
Immediately they cry and curse at the two people who were sipping tea and eating snacks. Imperial uncle was also shocked to see such daring youth and lady to calmly sit and not giving him any salute. He was more shocked and angry when the shadow guards slapped the madams left and right leaving hand prints on their cheeks. In blink of eye the madams were also tied and stuffed like prisoners.
With such upfront insult the imperial uncle who normally acted aloof looses his calm "impudents...how dare you act such vulgar and disrespectful infront of benwang?... it's act of treason to lay your hand to the person of imperial clan... release them this instant and ask for mercy... benwang will then think of lenient punished if not..." he was about to say more when interrupted by Yusheng.
"What... if not... what will and can you do?... does belonging to imperial clan means one can do anything?... even the holy emperor has to think before he speaks or take action.. how come it's just moving mouth for you?... are you higher than emperor thus able to decide on punishment?" questions Yusheng making the imperial uncle ahort in words.
"Right...how come there are so many people in Nanling beside emperor... who have the ability to kill and punish people as they like?" adds Pei Zhang.
The imperial uncle felt as if he had heard the voice before but couldn't pinpoint the person as both of them had lower their voice pitch than normal. Though he was angry enough to rush and kill he still could respond back immediately as if mislead it might seem he didn't respect the emperor and justice system of Nanling. Still he didn't want to be shut down thus taking few moments he answers.
"Do not act sly... benwang just stated the facts... even if they are wrong it is not you but justice department followed by several process to decide the matter.. who are you to dare lay your hands...you seem new here.. let me tell you benwang is brother to the current emperor and an elder of the imperial clan... thus it is more than enough for benwang to have you punished as you both have overstepped your boundaries and committed crime "
Yusheng claps her hand and replies mockingly "wonderful speech... high above imperial uncle you seem to have forgotten that though elder... the current head of the imperial clan is Junwang Zhang..so rightfully it should be him deciding on the matter and not you..."
"Indeed it was him... had the person been changed?... strange but there's no such news...high imperial uncle do tell...why it is you and not Junwang who have come to settle matters if you talk about being rightful and going through the formal steps.."mocks Pei Zhang.
The imperial uncle was again short for words with his anger rising to head. Having been mocked one by one his rationality pushed back far. "Impudent acting vulgar even after learning of benwang's identity.. which proves that the fault lies in you two..and about our current head he is still but a child.. who has yet to learn not to forget he still prefers to play around.."
Yusheng raises her eyebrow and in same mocking tone replies "Oh.. now high imperial uncle is questioning on the decisions made by the emperor?... what do you take emperor for .. is he someone to pass the title and responsibility to random person.. and how do you know of Junwang's abilities as it hasn't been long he returned to capital.."
Imperial uncle was now trembling with anger he points his finger at Yusheng "you.. little.." before he could curse a dark and cold voice full of fury interrupts "imperial uncle.. you better not finish the word and lower your finger if you want your tongue and finger intact.."
