Chapter 1227: Chapter 1229: The Principle of Men Preferring the Young Over the Old_1
The last sentence was spoken by Commandery Princess Dongyang.
A simple sentence, yet it brimmed with such intense anger.
"What happened to you guys when you went out?" Yang Chuxia had intended to meet and inform Commandery Princess Dongyang that Mu Shaoling had arrived, to prepare her mentally, but instead she heard these words.
"Sister, we went to Linshan Temple today and ran into that young master from the Li Family." Yang Xiayun stepped forward and clasped Yang Chuxia’s arm.
"And then?" Yang Chuxia had heard a bit about the young master from the Li Family, just a spoiled and idle dandy. Relying on his mother being the sister of the Prefect, he wandered around aimlessly all day, harassing innocent girls. However, his one redeeming quality compared to other worthless nobles was that he never got anyone killed. Moreover, every time he harassed a girl, his follow-up damage control was well managed, so until now no girl’s family had filed a complaint against him.
"And then we beat him up." Yang Xiayun hummed, "His eyes must be blind and his brain must have problems too. Sister, think about it; Linyu and I are already so old, and he actually wanted to take us back to be his child brides? Isn’t that funny?"
In Yang Xiayun’s mind, child brides were always very young. They were already so grown-up; how could they be child brides?
Yang Chuxia just facepalmed. Her sister was focusing on the wrong point. Taking someone back to become a child bride, especially against that person’s will, was in and of itself a wrong act, regardless of age.
"Exactly, cousin-in-law, this little master from the Li Family is really annoying. Counting on his good looks, at first he tried to seduce Yunyun and me with his appearance. Seeing that we weren’t fooled, he tried to please us with gifts, and when he saw we still weren’t fooled, he attempted to force us. Fortunately, Brother Ye Yi happened to go out with us today."
As Luo Linyu finished speaking, Yang Chuxia felt a surge of murderous aura and turned her head only to see it came from Commandery Princess Dongyang. Thinking about how the three of them went out together today, if Luo Linyu and Yang Xiayun were bullied, it was unlikely Dongyang was an exception.
But the reality was not so!
"Xiaxia, that little master from the Li Family, has truly infuriated me. Next time I see him, I must beat him to death. He... he, that bastard, actually said I was too old. Where am I old? I’m only seventeen this year. How can seventeen be old?"
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia keenly sensed something wasn’t quite right.
When she saw Yang Xiayun and Luo Linyu giggling foolishly at Commandery Princess Dongyang’s words, she was certain something was wrong.
"What’s going on?"
"Sister, let me tell you..."
After listening, Yang Chuxia felt exasperated, "You’re angry over this?"
It turned out that as soon as the three of them left the city today, they encountered the young master from the Li Family, who was also seventeen this year. He fully embraced the male principle of preferring younger over older girls, believing that since he was seventeen, he should fancy girls under seventeen, ideally around twelve or thirteen, or fourteen.
Girls of that age are tender; holding their little hands or kissing their little lips always brings out blushing shyness, just the thought of it was enough to make his heart flutter. So, when he saw Yang Xiayun and Luo Linyu accidentally lift the curtains of their carriage, his heart skipped a beat.
Noticing that the two ladies were traveling by carriage and accompanied by maids and guards, he assumed they must be young misses from prominent families. In his mind, daughters of noble families were the best, because they hardly left their homes and interacted with few men, so with nothing to compare to, they would surely be utterly charmed by his handsome looks.
