Chapter 1246: Chapter 1248: Doesn’t Seem Like a Lie_1
"One last thing, regarding the reputation of my two younger sisters, I don’t want to hear any rumors within Mianyang City that are detrimental to them. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility for the consequences! Show the guest out!"
Threatening someone, isn’t it? Everyone knows how to do that! It’s laughable that she’s trying that approach with me!
She and Brother An have never taken advantage of their position in the Capital City, but if they were threatened, she wouldn’t mind using their reputation to intimidate.
First Madam Li left the Ye Residence with a face ashen with rage. As soon as she arrived home, she smashed everything in the house that could be smashed.
"I’m infuriated, absolutely infuriated!"
"So arrogant, far too arrogant!"
"I’ve never encountered someone like her. She clearly did something wrong yet refuses to admit fault outright."
"Just listen to the things she said, she’s threatening me, she’s threatening me!"
"Madam, please calm down!" The nanny, having just had her face slapped by Yang Chuxia at the Ye Residence, was naturally angry too, but she still tried to offer some advice. "Madam Ye is indeed too forceful, and her words are too sharp. All these years, haven’t the families we’ve dealt with always spoken politely and resolved things amicably? It’s rare to see someone like her who tears off the pretense so directly, having no regard for County Magistrate Ye at all. Such a person is bound to offend many and if we don’t deal with her, others will."
In speaking these words, the nanny not only believed in what Yang Chuxia had said, but she also believed that the Li Residence could not move against the Ye Residence. She meant to persuade First Madam Li not to confront them head on, which was what a good nanny would do.
But First Madam Li might not be willing to let it go!
"Waiting for others to deal with her? I’ll never be able to swallow that grievance. My son is still lying in bed with such a pale and frightening face. She went too far, way too far!"
First Madam Li’s eyes were full of a sinister light, as if possessed by an evil spirit. She clutched the nanny’s hand and demanded, "Do you think her words are true or false? Does the Ye Family really have a backer more formidable than my older brother?"
"Madam, this old servant doesn’t think she’s lying, but one can’t be too sure. Why not write to ask First Old Master Li? Perhaps he knows more," the nanny suggested.
"Right, I’ll write to my older brother first. If she dares to deceive me, hmph, I definitely won’t let her get away with it!"
Saying that, the nanny immediately fetched the writing brush and ink for First Madam Li, and once the ink was dry, she hurriedly had someone deliver it to the prefecture.
First Madam Li was known for her favoritism, yet First Old Master Li was a sensible man. He had returned home that morning after discussing business and heard that his youngest son had been beaten and had both a leg and an arm broken. At first, he was quite angry, but considering his son’s usual behavior, he feared there was a reason for the incident.
He intended to ask his wife what exactly had happened, but then he heard from the servants that she had gone to the Ye Residence to seek justice.
Upon hearing this, he understood that his son had been beaten by someone from the Ye Residence.
He hurried to inquire what had happened from his son, who was evasive and unclear, simply clamoring for justice from him and his older male cousin, while implying that everything was the fault of the Ye Family.
How could he not know the calibre of his youngest son? He naturally couldn’t fully believe his son’s words.
He summoned his son’s personal servant and questioned him. After the servant explained everything in detail, First Old Master Li felt as if steam was coming out of his head from anger!
In his rage, he found a feather duster at home and went to his youngest son’s room. Perhaps because he was too angry, he didn’t care that his son was injured; he grabbed the duster and started hitting his son with it.
