Chapter 397: Chapter 398: Occupying Half_1 Chapter 397: Chapter 398: Occupying Half_1 Qian Yuan was slapped so hard that he fell to the ground, his nose bleeding.

“Watch your mouth and know your place,” Muniang said icily. “Don’t flatter yourself by thinking you’re as essential as scallions!”

“How dare you, how dare you strike me!” Qian Yuan cried out, holding his face. “Someone come! Smash this place for me!”

Muniang shouted fiercely, “Whoever dares to touch my place will be crippled!” With that, her foot was already on Qian Yuan’s body, and the servants he brought with him naturally didn’t dare to make a move, hastily retreating.

“Let me make one thing clear today, all the actors here are to perform their arts, not sell their bodies. I don’t care about any other place, but on my turf, you listen to me!”

Muniang’s words were not solely intended for Qian Yuan. The trouble he caused today meant that he surely wasn’t the only one targeting Guo Yuehua. She needed to let everyone know the worth of this female actor.

The crowd was abuzz with various expressions, but no one dared to question further; after all, not everyone was shameless like Qian Yuan.

“Although Guo Yuehua is a female actor, her value is far greater than yours,” Muniang said with a cold laugh. “If you know what’s good for you, Qian Yuan, you’d best stay away from her. Don’t try to scheme against me or else… don’t come begging to me later.”

It took Qian Yuan a while to recover from the searing pain on his face, and now he was being threatened on top of that. He should have been furious, but looking at the ferocious woman before him, he could only feel a chilling sense of dread.

But how could he, a man so preoccupied with saving face, admit that he was afraid of a woman? The moment Muniang lifted her foot, he scrambled to his feet, puffing himself up, “I’ll tell you this, I won’t let you get away with this. The monk may run, but the temple can’t hide. Just you wait, I will make sure you pay for this!”

Despite his fierce words, he ran away quickly, as if his feet had grown wings, eager to escape lest Muniang pounced on him like a predator.

Qian Yuan still believed that it was Li Qinghe who had trapped him back then. If he knew it was all planned by Muniang, he would never dare to provoke her now.

Watching his hasty retreat, Muniang snorted disdainfully, “Coward!”

She then turned and helped Guo Yuehua up from the ground, “How are you? Are you alright?”

Guo Yuehua’s face was smeared with tears, full of grievance, and her left cheek was swollen clearly from Qian Yuan’s slap: “Lady…” she began, but tears overcame her words.

Muniang spoke a few words of comfort before saying, “You don’t need to lower yourself to such people’s level. If anything happens in the future, just come to me. No one in my Mei Team will be bullied!”

After being struck so hard, Guo Yuehua naturally wouldn’t go to the Embroidery House; Muniang had someone escort her back, advising her to rest well.

The onlooking crowd dispersed, leaving Mei Garden in small groups, without causing too much commotion.

However, back at home, Muniang recounted today’s events angrily to Yu Ze, “Qian Yuan is truly incorrigible! If he fancies girls so much, why doesn’t he just go to a brothel? Instead, he comes here to provoke me, even threatening me that he won’t let me off. Looks like we’ll have more trouble in a few days. I need to arrange some enforcers in Mei Garden for everyone’s safety.”

After pondering for a moment, Yu Ze asked, “The Qian Family? The wealthy merchant in town?”

“Yes,” she confirmed.

Yu Ze snorted coldly, “So it’s him, the one who slept with Niu Qingfang. I haven’t yet settled the score with him, and now he dares to provoke trouble.”

Muniang was stunned, “What score do you have with him?” It was they who had tricked Qian Yuan before.

“Two years ago, he slept with Niu Qingfang and was then caught. The moment he saw you, his eyes were glued to you.”

Sweating, Muniang thought, what kind of grudge is this?

“Jin Feng!”

Jin Feng had already hurried over to follow Yu Ze a few days ago, and now he was staying at Muniang’s house.

“Yes.”

“Take half of Qian Yuan’s family properties. Tell his father to keep his son in check, otherwise, next time, the remaining half will be gone too,” Yu Ze said coldly. Hmph, did they really think he could be bullied so easily, that he was just for show?

“Yes.” Jin Feng was even more ashamed. What kind of mess had he gotten himself into?

Muniang, coquettishly wrapping her arms around Yu Ze’s neck, teased, “Husband, why are you so good to me?”

Yu Ze smiled with a curved lip, “If your opera troupe needs a fighter, shall I send a few Hidden Guards over?”

Muniang quickly waved her hands, “No need for that, it would be overkill. Just a few strong and robust men who can keep order is enough!”

“Hmm, that will do, I’ll pick a few out for you tomorrow. Don’t get involved in fights yourself, you might hurt your hands.” Yu Ze rubbed Muniang’s small palms.

Muniang laughed teasingly, “You never do anything proper.”

And it must be said that Jin Feng was indeed efficient in his work. The very next day, Qian Yuan was kowtowing at Mei Garden begging to see Muniang.

Upon seeing Qian Yuan, the servant boys at Mei Garden thought he had come for revenge and immediately grabbed whatever was at hand, glaring at him menacingly.

But Qian Yuan hastily said, “Gentlemen, gentlemen, let’s talk this out, no need for violence. Please put down your weapons, I have urgent business with your lady, I beg for your understanding.”

The servant boys were stunned. What was this turn of events? However, remembering Qian Yuan’s misconduct at Mei Garden the day before, they suspected a trick and refused to let him pass.

Then, a man dressed like a lord gave Qian Yuan a hefty slap on the head, causing him to stumble, “You useless thing, get out of my sight!”

Then, with clasped hands, he turned to the servant boys with an ingratiating smile, “Young masters, please, I beg you, give us a moment of convenience. Take this Silver Coin, consider it a gesture of goodwill from me.”

With that, a bag of silver was stuffed into the servant boy’s arms. The boy was startled, hardly expecting Mr. Qian to show such an act.

The servant boy dared not accept Mr. Qian’s money, but considering the strangeness of the situation, decided to ask Muniang for her opinion first.

At that moment, Muniang was checking the accounts. Hearing that the Qian father and son had come, she let out a light laugh, quietly praising Jin Feng’s efficiency and deciding to have Yu Ze award him a bonus.

“Lady, should we let this man in?”

Muniang snorted, “Let him in, why not? If someone comes to our door to be a grandson, they must pay the price for what they have done!”
