I insist

Chapter 108: Both Punished

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu sensed that something was wrong with the other person. She frowned slightly and was about to say something when she heard a voice behind her.

"This man's father is Zhang Pingle, who was also an examiner in the Medical Sage Competition."

"Besides that, what other identity does she have?"

Upon hearing Song Miqiu's question, the other person was stunned for a long time before shaking his head.

In other words, he's just a guy who relies on connections.

If this is really just a relationship, shouldn't she be even more amazing?

After all, she still has her older brother, Myungta Makoto.

Thinking about this, Song Miqiu became even more indifferent, and casually picked up the tomato she had been holding earlier and threw it at the proud head.

"You old codger, at your age you shouldn't be staying in the countryside, but coming to a place like this to dirty other people's land!"

"What are you still looking at? Get them out of here right now!"

The voice grew increasingly shrill, and the guards standing nearby exchanged glances, seemingly wanting to ask each other what the other thought.

Unfortunately, Zhang Jingsong didn't give them that chance. He rushed forward first, wanting to teach Song Miqiu a lesson.

However, Yu Huailin, who was standing next to him, did not give him this opportunity at all. With a slight movement of his elbow, he used a clever force to force him back.

But to his surprise, this man, who was all bark and no bite, stumbled a couple of steps and fell to the ground.

At that moment, Zhang Jingsong no longer cared about anything else and started cursing at the group.

"Are you just going to stand by and watch? Don't you want to quit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards had no choice but to try to get the person out first.

But before they could make a move, Yu Huailin took the initiative.

They quickly knocked everyone to the ground.

However, he also noticed that the guards did not use much force; they merely threw the person to the ground.

Yu Huailin walked straight up to Zhang Jingsong, and seeing him retreat in fear, he sneered and suddenly raised his foot.

"What are you doing! I warn you, if you hurt me, they will definitely kick you out."

The next moment, a loud bang came from the side.

Following the direction of the sound, everyone looked and saw the large hole in the door. They couldn't help but take two steps back, fearing that Yu Huailin might attack them from behind.

Faced with this situation, Song Miqiu could only glance helplessly at the people around him and let out an even more helpless sigh.

This matter may not be so easy to resolve.

Just as Song Miqiu was thinking, the door, which was almost falling apart, was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The group exchanged glances and immediately stepped aside to make way for the people standing in the middle, so as not to be implicated innocently.

"what happened?"

"Sir, we were all having a meal here when we heard a noise outside, so we came out to investigate, but who knew..."

Because Zhang Jingsong and others were involved, it was really not appropriate to say much, so I could only look at the other person with a melancholy expression.

Seemingly sensing the other person's thoughts, the person standing in front waved his hand and walked straight forward to look at Yu Huailin, who was tightly gripping Zhang Jingsong's collar.

“If anything you say is untrue, you will be kicked out once it is found.”

"Yes."

Yu Huailin released his grip, threw the person to the ground, and then, after tidying up the wrinkles from his movements, slowly walked back to Song Miqiu's side.

"My master and I came here for a meal, but before we could even sit down, we heard a commotion outside and went out to investigate."

"As soon as we came out, we saw him with his mouth full of blood from being beaten by this guy. We tried to go forward and pull him away, but he wouldn't listen and even ordered the guards to kick us out."

It's important to understand that while the participants aren't exactly eccentric, they each have their own distinct personalities and certainly wouldn't tolerate anyone else making a move on their head.

Turning his gaze to the even more disheveled Zhang Jingsong, and wanting him to add to the story, he heard Song Miqiu's slightly aged voice.

"Please understand, Your Excellency, my beloved disciple only intervened because he was worried about my old bones getting hurt, and besides..."

Song Miqiu exposed the unconscious cook lying on the ground to everyone's view before applying the medicine powder she had exchanged last time to the exposed wounds.

Seeing this, everyone knew what was important, so they immediately stepped forward to examine him and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his internal injuries were not serious.

After quickly treating the man's injuries, he turned to look at the two who had not left.

"The two of you should restrain yourselves from each other's identities. Acting so rashly could attract a lot of attention."

“If we hadn’t intervened, he and another worker would probably be dead here today.”

Upon hearing this, the figure who had been standing silently outside the door quickly walked in.

When Song Miqiu saw Ming Taicheng's familiar face, she thought the matter could be resolved and was about to breathe a sigh of relief and call out "Old Brother" when she noticed that the other party shook his head slightly.

She didn't understand what was going on at first, but when she saw Zhang Jingsong being brought back, she realized what was happening and could only pretend not to know him.

"Have you three considered the consequences of causing such a commotion?"

"Forget it, judging from your expressions, you haven't made up your minds. Since the head chef is injured, the three of you will be responsible for everyone's meals from now on."

"Why should I be the only one! Aren't there any other chefs available? Why do you insist on having me..."

Zhang Jingsong wanted to refuse again, but he found his father, who was standing in a corner, shaking his head at him. In the end, he did not continue to make a fuss.

Satisfied with the three silent men, Ming Taicheng nodded, then turned and left.

He didn't forget the cook who was still on the ground. He gave a wink to the people behind him, and the guards who got up immediately carried the cook out of the courtyard.

"I'm not feeling well, so I'll have to trouble you two with this."

Seeing everyone leave, Song Miqiu immediately stepped forward, gave the two men a small gift, and then quickly left.

Unexpectedly, the two exchanged a glance, then looked away with extreme disgust and quickly left the messy kitchen.

But to their surprise, before dawn the next day, someone knocked on their door.

Yu Huailin suddenly stood up, opened the door, and saw two guards standing in front of it.

"In accordance with the Imperial Physician's punishment, the three of you are to immediately go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast."

"Three people?"

Looking at the empty space except for the two guards, Yu Huailin raised his eyebrows and stared at them.

"That's it. Please prepare immediately."

"I understand. I'll go ask my master to help me complete the punishment."

Upon hearing Yu Huailin's explanation, Song Miqiu rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, but knew that it was absolutely impossible to go back to sleep now, so she could only follow him out of the room.

Even so, she refused to give up and walked straight over to the familiar guards standing at the door on the other side.

"Dr. Song?"

"Since all three are to be punished together, no one should be allowed to escape punishment."

Immediately understanding what this meant, the guards exchanged glances and ultimately stepped aside.
