"Besides, Ran Ran is the lifesaver of my great uncle. She has a dragon-shaped jade pendant given by my great uncle's father. No one can hurt them at will. Do you think you don't respect my great uncle?"

Mo Beihan's voice was even colder than King Ping's. Every word he spoke left King Ping speechless.

Prince Ping naturally knew that Qiao Ran was the savior of the retired emperor, and he also knew that she had a dragon-shaped jade pendant on her body, but he just wanted to severely punish this little village girl who had displeased him many times.

He can't kill Qiao Ran openly, but does he dare not kill members of the Qiao family?

As long as I can kill the little village girl's family, I can take severe revenge on her and make her live in pain for the rest of her life.

But he didn't expect that the Prince of Dingbei, who had always been at odds with him, would come over at this time to catch the rat with the dog. He knew that he could not kill the Qiao family today.

"Mo Han, after all, I am your cousin, not closer than this stinky girl? Do you really want to go against me for such an outsider? Do you know what the fate of all those who go against me is?"

King Ping suppressed his anger and tried to stop Mo Beihan from interfering by both soft and hard tactics.

Mo Beihan pulled the corner of his lip and said lightly:

"Your Highness Prince Ping, you are joking. Ranran is my future wife, the one who will spend the rest of my life with me, so she is not an outsider. Besides, I stand for justice, not relatives. Your Highness is in the wrong, and I cannot help her even if I want to. This shop was bought by Ranran, isn't that right? Since it is Ranran's shop, she can sell it if she wants to, and not sell it if she doesn't want to. Your Highness is forcing the sale, isn't that bullying? If I tell my uncle and great-uncle about this, I wonder if they will blame you for bringing shame to the royal family?"

Compared to King Ping's weak threat, Mo Beihan's words were much more threatening to King Ping.

Prince Ping knew very well that although his father would spoil him, his grandfather was still in the capital. If his grandfather wanted to intervene, his father would not be able to protect him.

After staring at Mo Beihan angrily for a while, King Ping snorted unwillingly and ordered the guards:

"let's go!"

Before leaving, King Ping glared at the calm Qiao Ran. He hated this little village girl who had slapped him in the face several times more and more.

One day, he would want her dead!

Prince Ping and his men left in disgrace. Mo Beihan gave an order and the guards snatched the brooms, rags and basins from the Qiao family and took over the cleaning job.

"How did you come?"

Qiao Ran looked at Mo Beihan in surprise.

Wasn't he very busy? He actually had time to bring a bunch of guards to help with the work.

Mo Beihan smiled:

"Shopkeeper Chen told me that you just bought a shop, and he also said that this shop was originally favored by Prince Ping. I was worried that he would make things difficult for you, so I postponed today's matter and came to see if I could help in any way."

"Thank you! If you hadn't arrived in time, it would have been difficult to clean up the mess after I scattered the powder."

Qiao Ran put the medicine powder in her hand away and thanked him sincerely.

No matter how much Qiao Dajiang disliked this future son-in-law who wanted to steal his daughter away, he had to admit that this son-in-law was quite considerate and always thought about Ranran and protected her.

Seeing how well he performed, Qiao Dajiang's attitude towards him improved a lot:

"I'm glad you can protect Ranran. But you two have to be extra careful in the future. It can be seen that King Ping is a very petty person. He will not let anyone who doesn't get along with him have an easy time. Open moves are not scary, but you must be careful of his hidden moves."

Mo Beihan humbly accepted the instruction:

"Yes, I will definitely pay more attention in the future. You should also be careful and take precautions, otherwise, I will send a few guards to protect you secretly!"

Qiao Dajiang looked at his daughter and asked her to make the decision.

Qiao Ran thought about it and shook her head:

"No need. You are busy as well. You don't need to allocate personnel to protect us. I have prepared poison for everyone in my family. It can save their lives in the critical moment."

Mo Beihan said:

"Ran Ran, I know your poison is very effective, but my uncle and aunt don't know martial arts, and I'm afraid that King Ping's people will avoid it even if they have poison."

He thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly:

"Ran Ran, when you open this shop, are you going to hire people from the village to work as clerks?"
