Chapter 1247: Chapter 1249 Yingying, You’ve Come, My Pain Is Gone_1
After returning from the Ye Residence, First Madam Li went to her youngest son’s room after writing a letter, and this was the scene she saw.
"What are you doing? Have you gone mad? Can’t you see your son is hurt?"
Her son was crying out from being beaten, and First Madam Li couldn’t bear it any longer and rushed forward to protect him.
First Old Master Li trembled with rage, "A doting mother to her son’s detriment, a doting mother to her son’s detriment. Just go on spoiling him, and when you’ve brought ruin to our Li Family, you’ll be satisfied then, both mother and son will be satisfied."
"What do you know? Away from home for more than a month, our son has suffered such grievances, and you don’t think of fighting for his justice. Instead, you come back and beat him; is this how a father acts?" First Madam Li was furious at this point.
The youngest son’s leg was suspended above the bed, and his arm was in a sling. Unable to dodge the beating, she was not even sure if the blows had hit his wounds. These thoughts made First Madam Li unable to sit still any longer.
She then turned and began to fight with First Old Master Li.
"Shrew... s-s-shrew..." First Old Master Li used all his strength to pull away First Madam Li, who had pounced on him, "I don’t know? It is precisely because I do know that I need to beat him. Ask him, what fine deeds has he done?"
Just then, a bevy of beauties who were friends of Young Master Li came over, "Young Master, Young Master, are you alright?"
"Young Master, which hussy has hurt you like this?"
"Oh, my heart aches for you, I must stay and take care of you..."
"Young Master, you must recover well..."
"Young Master, are you in pain?"
It was unclear whether these people genuinely cared for Young Master Li, or were merely making their presence felt, perhaps even adding fuel to the fire.
None of these people seemed to notice the presence of First Old Master Li and his wife in the room; they went straight to Young Master Li’s side and expressed their concern with incessant babbling.
"Oh, Yingying, you’re here; I’m not in pain, Young Master." "Fei Fei, there are maids for serving; I wouldn’t want you to do such work."
"Liu’er, don’t worry, I’m fine."
In a short while, Young Master Li had comforted everyone who had come, showing even more attentiveness than to his own parents. And this group of girls, without exception, were all no older than seventeen.
Watching the room full of people, First Old Master Li almost had a fit of anger, slapping his hand on the table, "Get out, all of you!"
Then everyone else noticed the existence of the First Old Master Li and his wife, their faces changing slightly, and they left one by one under the Old Master’s grim gaze.
After everyone else left and only the family of three remained, First Old Master Li couldn’t help but sneer, "Enjoying yourself, are you? Outdoing your father already, and you hardly have a full beard. Bringing a whole room of people home, aren’t you afraid they’ll drain you?"
His words made First Madam Li’s face change several shades.
She said through clenched teeth, "Is it wrong for a son to be spoken about like this? Which household doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? What’s wrong with my son bringing a few people home?"
"Right, nothing wrong with it, just indulge him, keep indulging. Now that’s brought disaster upon us, let’s see how you’ll indulge him in the future." Thinking of his son’s servant’s words earlier, and then recalling the special instructions his cousin from the prefecture had given him, he felt a chill in his heart.
At that moment, First Madam Li also realized that First Old Master Li knew about the incident with the Ye Family, but this made her even angrier, "This time it was clearly the fault of the Ye Family, yet you come back and start beating our son instantly. Is this the way a father behaves?"
"Son, does it hurt, did your father hit your wound?"
