After Dou Manager was beaten with twenty large boards, he was nearly unconscious.

Although Young Master Dou didn’t want to pay attention to him, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he could only rush over in a hurry, support Dou Manager, and cried, "Father, you’ve suffered. Doctor Dou, quickly come over and look at my father’s injury!"

Bah, you little rascal, what are you pretending for? I got beaten because of you!

But Dou Manager still remembered what Junior Minister Ming said, "You have a good son," and did not publicly scold Young Master Dou, allowing Doctor Dou to examine his injury.

When the Heir of Prince Heng saw that Mrs. Dou Meng fainted, he rushed over to hit Dou Manager but was stopped by Young Master Dou: "Young Heir, my father is already injured, please do not hit him anymore, another hit and it may cost a life."

Qu Shaoyin also said, "Heir of Prince Heng, in this old matter, Dou Manager is the victim, you should not hit him anymore."

The Heir of Prince Heng couldn’t hit Dou Manager, so he could only point at him and curse, "Despicable merchant, quickly divorce that shameless woman Dou Meng, otherwise your head will be greener, you might not even know if your son is your own!"

After hearing this, Dou Manager was so angry he almost passed out, but he couldn’t afford to offend the Heir of Prince Heng, so he had to endure it, but in his heart, he began to hate Mrs. Dou Meng.

This shameless woman, if she had obediently listened to his arrangements, this wouldn’t have happened today!

After scolding Dou Manager, the Heir of Prince Heng left with a group of playboys.

Lord Jingzhao Governor quickly came down to see him off eagerly, "Young Heir, walk slowly."

Feel free to come again, we have lots of bizarre happenings at Jingzhao Mansion, there are gossips every day.

Although the Heir of Prince Heng is a playboy, he still has some respect, turned around, cupped his hands to Lord Jingzhao Governor and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sir."

With that, he left.

Dou Manager was so angry his face turned blue, wishing he could chop up the Heir of Prince Heng... and also Mrs. Dou Meng!

The events here will spread throughout the whole city by tomorrow, that wretched woman Dou Meng has made him a laughingstock of the entire Capital, and with the involvement of Prince Heng, if Prince Heng gets furious, the Dou Family will be skinned.

"What are you still standing here for? Quickly have the servant carry me back home on the carriage."

Still not embarrassed enough, wishing to continue standing here losing face?

Young Master Dou: "Yes, I’ll arrange it right away, father."

He said this while looking at Dou Zhi, who immediately went to arrange the return home.

Young Master Dou then thanked Lord Jingzhao Governor and Qu Shaoyin.

Lord Jingzhao Governor was all smiles, "Young Master Dou, no need for thanks, I was just handling the case impartially."

Not handling it impartially wouldn’t work, Junior Minister Ming and the Ouyang Family were both backing Young Master Dou, the Emperor even praised him, he would be courting death if he helped the Meng Family.

Besides, the Emperor needs money, when the case is judged, he could gather quite a lot of Silver for the Emperor, that’s meritorious service.

Qu Shaoyin still looked down on the Dou Family but had some sympathy for Young Master Dou. The injuries on Young Master Dou were not fake, and there were also old injuries, indicating years of being mistreated by his stepmother.

After thanking them, Young Master Dou walked over to the prison guard, cupped his hands and said, "What may I call you, brother?"

This prison guard had been standing here waiting, with no intention of leaving, he must have something to say to him.

Young Master Dou was clever, knowing that Junior Minister Ming passing by Jingzhao Mansion and going to Meng Family to have the Meng Imperial Censor bring in Dou Meng, but he didn’t appreciate it, instead feeling that he was being manipulated.

For today’s matter, he had solid evidence, with people provided by Master Ouyang, even if the Meng Family wanted to protect Dou Meng, with some effort he could make Dou Meng confess, he didn’t need Junior Minister Ming’s help at all.

The prison guard said, "Dare not, Young Master Dou, you may call me Ah Ji."

Young Master Dou laughed, "So it’s Brother Ah Ji, dare I ask, brother, perhaps Junior Minister Ming has something to say to me?"

Ah Ji didn’t answer, just said, "Your father is injured, let me help Young Master Dou to send your father back first, and then we’ll talk."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Dou’s heart sank further, not suitable to speak publicly, seems Junior Minister Ming has quite the plan, he nodded with a smile, "Brother Ah Ji is right."

He took the silver note, cleared Dou Manager of crimes, and took a carriage back to Dou Family.

Dou Er and Dou San, having heard about Dou Meng’s affair, had been waiting at home, when they saw Young Master Dou return, Dou Er pointed at him and cursed, "Dou Ke, you dare to sue your own stepmother and biological father, even let father suffer punishment, really an unfilial act!"

Young Master Dou laughed, beckoning to Dou Er, "Second Brother, come over here."

Dou Er’s face turned pale, he had suffered such tricks before, going over would surely get him beaten by Dou Ke.

Dou Er didn’t move, continued cursing Young Master Dou.

Could Young Master Dou, who brought down Dou Meng, still endure Dou Er? He had Dou Meng bring the Shadow Guards over, pin Dou Er down, then walked over to slap Dou Er’s face.

Dou Er had a mouthful of blood, glaring at Young Master Dou, crying out, "Dou Ke, you dare hit me, you’re dead!"

He had people under him, once he gathered them, Dou Ke would be done for.

With a slap, Young Master Dou again struck Dou Er, laughing, "So what if I hit you? Your mother has been caught, your grandfather’s position is in danger, am I not to hit you?"

Young Master Dou’s gaze turned sharp, he clamped Dou Er’s neck, smiling, "Second Brother, you can continue to act foolishly, but starting today, I won’t tolerate you anymore because you’ve lost all protection, now it’s my turn to be rampant!"

Dou Er was choked almost to the point of rolling his eyes, Dou San hurriedly rushed over, weakly crying, "Big Brother, please stop, Second Brother just feels sorry for mother... Young brother knows you never liked mother, perhaps mother is at fault too, but we are, after all, one family..."

"Family, my foot, I don’t even sit at the same table with you for New Year, what kind of a ghost family." Young Master Dou interrupted Dou San, looking at him, "And you, why are you crying, as if I bullied you? Didn’t know what this kind of person’s called before, now I know, you’re called male lotus!"

This was heard from the Young Marquis, and he heard it from Gu Jinli.

Male lotus? What kind of ghost is that?

Dou San wanted to continue pleading, but was taken down by Dou Meng.

Dou Manager was furious, wanting to speak for his two sons, but with injuries, even raising his voice caused pain.

Young Master Dou didn’t have time to deal with Dou Er now, had him sent back to the courtyard, and after settling Dou Manager, he met with Ah Ji.

Ah Ji directly handed him an invitation and said, "Young Master Dou, young and promising, managed to open the Dou Ou Bank at a young age with skill and Silver, Lord Ming greatly admires you, this is an invitation to the Ming Family’s September banquet, hoping Young Master Dou can come for a drink then."

He also said, "The Capital is a dragon’s pool and tiger’s lair, though Young Master Dou is outstanding in ability, a pair of fists struggles against a pack of tigers, make more friends to take your steps up."

Clearly, it’s an attempt to win over Young Master Dou.

Young Master Dou snorted, damn it, when he wasn’t in power there was no sign of Junior Minister Ming helping, now he comes to help, is this really helping? Clearly eyeing the Dou family’s money, wanting to take it!
