Chapter 1900: Chapter 1902: Wrong Target
Upon hearing this voice, Yang Qingtong’s, it was clearly filled with anger. But what was he talking about?
"Stop, what are you doing?"
"Sis, you’re here just in time!" Yang Qingtong saw her arrive and let go of Luo Linhao, but his raised fist remained in the air.
"What’s going on? Why are you two fighting like this?"
"Sis, as soon as we entered the city, we heard that this guy intends to marry some girl from the Li Family, and he has an engagement with Yunyun, yet he wants to marry someone else, wanting to enjoy the best of both worlds? Dream on, if necessary Yunyun won’t marry him, it’s not like she can’t find someone else."
It turned out they’d found out about the Li Family matter.
Yang Chuxia was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "This matter isn’t how you all think it is, Linhao is also being manipulated..." So Yang Chuxia explained the situation with the Li and Luo Families, as well as the decree from Her Highness Noble Princess Consort.
This included her visit to the Li Residence today to resolve the issue.
"Is that so?" Yang Qingtong scratched his head, chuckling, "Feels like I hit the wrong person?"
Yang Chuxia rolled her eyes, "What do you think?"
Only then did Luo Linhao shake his arm, flexing his muscles, and Yang Chuxia asked, "How are you feeling? You’re okay, right?"
"I’m fine."
"Pfft, what’s there to be wrong, eh?" Yang Qingtong added, "I’ve spent quite some time in the military camp, I can’t just crumble under a few punches from a scholarly weakling? Sis, instead of caring about his injuries, why not worry about whether my hand hurts or not, ouch, this guy’s skin is so tough, it made my fist ache."
"Pfft..."
"..." Luo Linhao’s deep gaze swept over, could this guy be any shameless? Just wait, see how I deal with you once I’m married.
Yang Qingrui chuckled, "Don’t glare at Qingtong like that, although we brothers didn’t get all the facts straight beforehand this time, frankly speaking, it wasn’t entirely wrong for us to fight. This whole situation, from start to finish, is how your Luo Family’s mess came about, so you aren’t totally undeserving of being hit."
"Moreover, today’s beating is a warning from me and my brother to you. You better treat my sister well in the future, or we brothers won’t let you off easily."
"Fine, I concede!" Luo Linhao clasped his fists, "You even manage to justify hitting the wrong person as deserved; I have nothing more to say."
"Surrender is the right choice." Yang Qingtong snorted.
Yang Qingrui pinched his shoulder, gesturing for him to not be too arrogant.
"Sis, will that Young Master Li really go to break off the engagement?"
"He will!" Yang Chuxia nodded, "He’s not stupid, it’s in their family’s best interest to break off the engagement at this point, otherwise things will surely blow up on Linhao’s side, and this matter is indeed their family’s fault, unless the Li Family doesn’t care about its place in the Capital City, then they’d disregard Li Susu’s reputation."
"Speaking of reputation, Young Master Li’s own reputation isn’t that good; would he even care about this?" Luo Linhao expressed skepticism.
"Men and women are different. Men can indulge in debauchery and some might consider it charming and sophisticated, not thinking it’s a bad reputation. But women are different, they’re often bound by societal norms, if an unmarried woman is found to have a private relationship with a man, once this is out, people despise it greatly—not only despising the woman, but also her family."
"We rural folks are relatively better off, but in large families, a woman’s purity is particularly valued because they engage with other wealthy families, even forming marriages. If this leaks, many prominent families in the Capital City might view the Li Family with suspicion. Young Master Li may not care about Li Susu’s reputation, but he cares about the whole Li Family."
