"Mother, it hurts, it’s killing , Dad deliberately hit where my leg is broken," complained the young Master Li, feigning weakness.
"I’ll go fetch the doctor right away, I’ll call the doctor, just bear with it a little," First Madam Li said, touching her tears and preparing to go call soone, but the young Master Li tugged at her.
Seeing this, First Old Master Li scoffed, "Stop putting on an act for ! Do you think I’m blind when I beat soone? I carefully avoided the wounds while hitting you. Boy, let tell you, don’t try any tricks under my watch."
After scowling at his son, he turned to his wife, who was about to speak, and said, "That’s enough, you sit down too! I have sothing to say to you. His injury may sound scary, but it’ll heal in just a few months, don’t act as if the sky has fallen."
"You..." Hearing his rude, and even sowhat indifferent remarks about his son, First Madam Li wanted to retort, but under the slightly sinister gaze of First Old Master Li, she held back.
"Do you think this is Miss Ye’s fault?" First Old Master Li asked once First Madam Li took her seat, and without waiting for her to reply, he continued, "But in other people’s eyes, it’s your son who got what he deserved!"
"Dad, I’m your own son, how can you say that about ?" Young Master Li couldn’t stand it; his injury was not for nothing.
"Shut your mouth, it’s not your turn to speak," First Old Master Li snorted, "Would she have hit you if you hadn’t tried to stop that young lady?"
As these words ca from the mouth of First Old Master Li, both mother and son fell silent.
"Hmph, you’re not like your older brother who can shoulder responsibilities for the family. I’ve turned a blind eye to your behavior because you’re still young, but you’re becoming increasingly troubleso. Just think about the number of girls you’ve entangled with at ho, soon our Li Residence won’t have enough room just for your won."
"Dad, don’t speak so offensively, please. Liu’er, Feifei, they’re just my close female friends, not my concubines, what do you an by ’my won’?" Young Master Li was one to boast of his charm while claiming to be a gentleman, quite the peculiar character.
"You..." First Old Master Li was almost amused by his anger, "Fine, I won’t argue this with you. Let’s talk about those two young Misses from the Ye Family, did you stop them to make them your close female friends, too? Your servant has told everything, you wanted them as your child brides. How brazen can you be, asking the Ye Family’s young ladies to be your child brides? Do you even realize who that girl is? Your audacity could almost tear the heavens!"
"I know she’s a relative of the Ye Family, but is there really sothing that special about her?" With First Old Master Li saying this, First Madam Li finally believed what Yang Chuxia had said was indeed the truth. She cautiously replied, "I sent a ssage to ask my older brother, but it will take a few days for a response to arrive."
"Hmph, no need to send any ssage. I just ca back from the prefecture city, I have seen your older brother," First Old Master Li paused, then continued very seriously, "The incidents involving Ye Zi’an in the Capital City were all the rage back then, anyone who cared to look could find out. It’s said the Luo Family from the Capital City’s elite is his maternal family, and that First-Class General Luo is his maternal uncle."
First Madam Li gasped upon hearing just that; such a figure at the center of power was soone her older brother could hardly make contact with.
Before she could even catch her breath, another bombshell was dropped, "And do you know what the relationship is between the Luo Family and the imperial family?"
