The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2423 - 2: Lighting a Lamp to Scare People, Blowing It Out to Frighten Ghosts

A young master asked, "Is it really that scary?"

"Of course it is, it’s as scary as lighting a lamp or blowing out a ghost," Young Master Situ said, patting his own chest. "I don’t know what my old man is thinking, insisting on me proposing to the eldest Miss Mu. My God, I’d rather jump off a building than marry an ugly woman."

"That’s nonsense, Huarong and Hua’en are not ugly at all!"

This voice was familiar to the two people in the private room; Ye Rongqing of the Ye Family had come in and happened upon a group of people insulting the Mu sisters.

"They are ugly. Little Ye Si, although she’s your future sister-in-law, you can’t lie with your eyes open. What’s wrong with your Ye Family’s brains? Your family is not at a disadvantage, yet you bring home an ugly woman. Your second brother is even crazier. He could choose his own wife, but he picks an ugly one. Is he blind?"

This Young Master Situ was the illegitimate son of the eldest brother of the Empress’s family, known as Situ San.

Noble children are meant for arranged marriages; they know this from a young age. Yet it was rumored when the Ye family’s children were younger, they all chose their own spouses, without regard to family background or status.

Situ San was practically green with jealousy towards the Ye Family because he couldn’t choose for himself. His father wanted to form an alliance with the Mu Family. Normally, he wouldn’t be able to marry an officially recognized daughter from the Mu Family due to his illegitimate status, but who would have thought the Mu Family’s daughter was disfigured?

But he was unwilling. Marrying a disfigured woman would make him the laughing-stock among his friends, but he couldn’t make his own decisions, so he brought a group of friends to the Ju De Lou to drink and vent.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Ye Rongqing from the outside.

"Creak!" The door to the private room opened.

Ye Haoyang came out of the room with a stony face, fixing his gaze on Situ San, "Am I blind? Is there something wrong with my brain?"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you’re just in time. This brat has been insulting Huarong and Hua’en," Ye Rongqing looked smugly at Situ San, knowing his second brother had a bad temper. Now, Situ San was in trouble.

"Ye Haoyang, y-you, why are you here?" Situ San was shaking, his mouth agape. Why was Demon Ye here?

If he’d known Demon Ye was here, he wouldn’t have said those things, even if it cost him his life!

Demon Ye’s fists were deadly. Among the young masters in the Capital City, not one of them, no matter how unruly, hadn’t been taught a lesson by him. Even the princes in the palace, save for His Highness the Crown Prince, had been beaten up.

And yet, after being beaten, none of them dared to complain. Why? Because the unruly ones had no ground to stand on.

"Have you forgotten where you are? Speaking ill of the Mu Family’s young lady on Mu Family territory—how bold you’ve become!"

Having said that, Ye Haoyang didn’t do much else; he just pointed twice, then tossed him downwards. Situ San tumbled directly from the second floor to the first, accompanied by a few sharp cracks.

"Ah... help..."

"Young Master, Young Master, are you alright?" His servant hurried after him, reaching out to help him up, but as soon as he touched his arm, Situ San twisted his face in pain and screamed, "It hurts, it hurts..."

"If you don’t want your young master to become disabled, don’t move him," Ye Haoyang said, looking down from the second floor. "Both arms are broken, one leg is fractured, and his ribs are cracked. Hurry and get a doctor."

The people who came with Situ San turned pale.

To fracture a few bones just from a fall, truly living up to the name Demon Ye, how terrifying.

"I-I didn’t say anything, it has nothing to do with us." One General’s son waved his hands, crawling away from Ju De Lou as fast as he could.
