First Madam Li hadn’t even spoken when Yang Chuxia fired off a string of words. In the end, it made it seem as if the Li Family should be thankful to the Ye Family for showing restraint.
It was her own son who had been injured, his arm and leg broken, but from the sound of it, it seed like they were implying her son had it coming.
First Madam Li had far better self-restraint than the forr Madam Zhou, and even though she was furious, she did not make a scene, even if she was already trembling with anger.
"Madam Ye, my son’s leg and arm were broken by your young sister! Even though my son may have spoken out of turn, such ruthless violence is surely too cruel. My son is young and can be recklessly arrogant, and had your people co to inform , naturally our Li Family would have disciplined him. But for the young girl to break soone’s arm and leg, if my son suffers any lasting disability, the Li Residence is not so passive as to let the matter rest."
Upon hearing these words, Yang Chuxia snorted coldly in her heart. Young? Spoken out of turn?
"First Madam Li, your son is seventeen this year, a good five or six years older than my two sisters at ho. If anyone is young, my two sisters are younger. Although our Ye Family is not a wealthy family, my sisters have been pampered and sheltered since birth, having never experienced hardship or grievance. During the first month of the year, they were already subjected to improper verbal humiliation by your son once, and then again yesterday. Even with the best temperants, they could not endure repeated verbal humiliations. Moreover, they are still children in the end, and children can be hot-tempered, wanting only to give a good lesson to those who are insolent. It’s possible to go too far in their anger without realizing it."
Upon hearing this, First Madam Li choked up; her speech had been smoothly countered by Yang Chuxia’s firm but calm response.
Not only that, but it appeared as though, no matter how the matter was discussed, it was her son’s fault, and it was already gracious that they had not co looking for trouble with her family.
However, First Madam Li really didn’t know that the previous incident in which her son had been beaten was also related to the Ye Residence.
Last ti, her son was left bruised all over, and this ti it was worse; the two Ye sisters were too ruthless.
But fundantally speaking, it was indeed her son who was at fault. Even so, having injured soone to that extent, they could no longer claim to be in the wrong. Did Ye Zi’an think himself so grand just because he was the County Magistrate? Not paying a visit after the incident had occurred, and now Madam Ye still seed to think her son had it coming?
Did they think the Li Family was made of paper?
"Madam Ye, my son offended the two young ladies, so I will have him co over to apologize. When we return, I will have him carried over to personally apologize to the young ladies. But how shall we settle the matter of your sisters injuring my son? You must give an explanation for this incident. My son is well-behaved and has always been esteed by his elder brother. If he finds out about this, I fear it will not be easily resolved."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia raised an eyebrow; First Madam Li was rather interesting, thinking that matters could be settled separately while still using the Lord Prefect to pressure others?
Settling matters separately wouldn’t be so easy. Master Li’s apology was just a formality, the result of speaking a few words, but settling the matter of physical injury would certainly not be as simple as Yunyun and Linyu just making apologies; at the very least, the dical expenses would need to be compensated, and there might be other repercussions as well.
Heh, First Madam Li was calculating her moves too favorably.
"First Madam Li, perhaps you are unaware of sothing. Both young ladies in our ho are not blood sisters to my husband—one is a cousin from my uncle’s side, the other is my own sister. Our closest relatives are all still present, and neither I nor my husband can simply decide or offer you explanations on their behalf. Conversely, since your son repeatedly hindered our two young ladies, the Li Family must provide us with an explanation. Otherwise, my husband and I would not be able to justify ourselves when we return ho."
