Chapter 693: The Lord Who Protects Her Own (III)
Was this the master’s rival in love who he’d once beaten up?
Even so, surely this man didn’t have to attempt to kill him upon seeing him, right?
She didn’t understand why. It was illogical.
“In this world, there are countless losers who were rejected by Miss Perfect before. It cannot be that all of them want to hack the marshall’s son to death!”
The little angel Li Yun was rather innocent.
Feng Zhen, who had recounted the story, glanced at his lord with a secret grudge. One should not speak words an average man could not comprehend.
She coughed and asked, “Even so, they didn’t have to resort to a fight, right?”
He continued speaking. “Indeed, it is so, but they later got into other arguments. That man stirred up rumors, he slandered Hanmei’s parents, and Hanmei could tolerate it no longer. That’s why he fought with and injured him. After sustaining injuries, he was still stubborn with his mouth. He continued to speak without restraint, further provoking the anger that Hanmei needed to continue fighting him… There were many on Yang Jian’s side… Thus, a large fight broke out…”
“Slander?”
What extent of slander could have caused the usually calm and composed Li Yun to lose his senses and hurt others?
Feng Zhen replied, “That man spread a rumor that Xie Qian isn’t a worthy man. He shockingly said that he offered his wife to another man to receive benefits for his family.”
Jiang Pengji asked, “…How did this matter come about?”
Back then, Liu She told her about Xie Qian and Wang Huiyun’s story. Both husband and wife were a talented and beautiful pair, a couple made in heaven. They had loved each other deeply.
In plain terms, this pair of man and wife were so crazily in love that it ignited a lot of hatred in others. These people wished to set them on fire and burn them to ashes.
Since they were a loving pair of husband and wife, how could such a melodramatic scenario have played out where the man had pushed his woman at another man?
Moreover, Liu She had once said that when Wang Huiyun had given birth to Li Yun, she’d been possessed by another person.
In other words, after Li Yun was born, Wang Huiyun was a fake.
Feng Zhen sighed as he used words to bring that scene back to life.
Yang Jian had wanted to be the peacemaker initially. He sweepingly evaded the topic altogether. He’d expected the admirer of Xie Qian’s wife to quit on him.
He’d been taught a life lesson by Li Yun. Even so, he was still stubborn with his speech.
With much displeasure, he said, “Where is that b*stard, Xie Qian?”
Li Yun had great respect for his master. Others could slander him, but they must not slander Xie Qian.
“I dare you to utter one more sentence! Be careful or I might cut out your tongue! My master is an honorable man, upright, with nothing to hide. How is he a b*stard?”
The other party mocked him. “How is he not a b*stard?”
Yang Jian’s brows raised. He hastily ordered the guards behind him to retreat 20 steps.
“…If Xie Qian wasn’t a b*stard, how did he acquire his wealth and prestige without selling his wife and gaining glory?”
Li Yun raged until his eyes were wide open. He clenched his silver spear tightly.
Because he used so much force, his white nailbed turned pale green.
“My master was devoted to his wife. After she died from her difficult labor, he never remarried. Moreover, he offers sacrifices for her daily. He even fasts for three days before and after the anniversary of her death… Both shared a deep love and were role models for the world… This scum had better not tarnish their good reputations.”
Li Yun wore a look that expressed, “If you continue to spout nonsense, I will kill you with my spear”.
The other party wasn’t willing to admit defeat. He continued to mock relentlessly, “They shared a deep love? Died from difficult labor? What a hilarious joke! More than 10 years ago, I once met her. She was well and alive! She told me that it was obviously Xie Qian who sold his wife in exchange for glory, then forcibly pushed her to another man… He was capable of such beastly actions! Does he deserve to be called a man? Tell me, where is Xie Qian? Ask him for a confrontation!”
Stunned, Li Yun heard him speak with such certainty. He didn’t seem to be lying.
Nonetheless, he still had to protect his master.
The young master protected him without using his brains. If he couldn’t it, they would fight it out!
“What rubbish! My master was born of the Xie family from Qiongning. Why would he need to sell his wife to gain glory?”
He didn’t know about Xie Qian’s parentage because his master hadn’t told him about his noble and prestigious family background before.
Back then in the Xiangyang district, Liu She had once mentioned it. Li Yun remembered.
The man choked on his words helplessly. He almost had no comeback. After a while, he challenged him. “So, what if he is of the Xie family of Qiongning? Are they incapable of being scumbags who sell their wives for glory?”
Yang Jian, who stood off to the side, held his forehead helplessly. Those of the Xie family of Qiongning would never sell their wives for glory.
As a known fact, they were one of the four great families in Dongqing. Their consolidated ranking was second among the aristocratic families. Most of their family members were skilled in literacy and martial arts.
As the youth leader of his generation, he held an important and prestigious position. He even dared to look down on the emperor.
Neither the emperor nor Prince Changshou could move Xie Qian to sacrifice his wife, relinquish his dignity as a man, or push his wife to another man. Moreover, when his subordinate met Wang Huiyun, news of Xie Qian’s death had been spreading for three of four years already. There was a big mystery involved here.
Yang Jian had warned his subordinate multiple times before. Unfortunately, this man had stubbornly insisted to act on his will.
When his stubborn character surfaced, no one could hold him back.
“This is complete nonsense. If you continue to malign my teacher, I will make you pay with your blood!”
Li Yun raged until both his cheeks turned crimson. Both his pupils were surrounded by swollen blood vessels, his fury on the verge of bursting.
“Hmph, do you think I’m afraid of you? Let alone you, a youngster. Even if Xie Qian comes, I will spit at him and finish him off immediately.”
Thus, Li Yun taught this foul-mouthed man a lesson. He pierced his enemy’s right arm with his spear until a blood-filled hole emerged.
The man wasn’t paralyzed. But now that the alliance was at hand, how could he take the time to heal?
Li Yun’s actions had caused Yang Jian’s camp to lose a great general.
Yang Jian showed no expression, but the people under him were unwillingly to let it go. Since they’d insisted on picking a fight, Dian Yan would not allow Li Yun to suffer any losses. Therefore, they’d reached the drill grounds as they continued their fight.
Honest and Loyal Ye Buxiu: Wow, wow, wow, wow — this is a father and son solo match. Whoever loses will call the victorious one “father.”
Gift of Gab Zhou Zejie: Streamer, why don’t you attempt to fight in the next round? You could adopt 8 to 10 sons for free.
Jiang Pengji rarely fought anyone alone. Usually, others would attack her in a group. She often fought many at once.
As she watched these viewers from the live streaming room encouraging her to head to the drill grounds and engage someone in a fight, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Streamer V: Father and son fight? If I had such an imbecile for a son, I would be the first father to kill his son. What a waste of my genes!
As soon as she posted this on the bullet screen, many other comments appeared.
Jidan Chao Daoxiao: This is the highest form of insult I’ve heard. If anyone desires to abandon their present responsibilities, tell them directly that Laoniang doesn’t despise you for your lack of money. It’s not because you have no house, no job, and no savings… It is solely because your genes are inferior. I’m afraid that it will affect the quality of my descendants. The streamer’s words are so malicious and harsh, but I just love her personality!”
My Goddess: Hey, hey, can I request an ovum from the streamer that can be used to change the next generation? I assure you that I will not touch it.
Lan Maoling: Aren’t you afraid the streamer will smash your bones with one kick? Ask away if you wish!
Luodi Huashengtang: Hahaha— why would she stop with breaking your bones? She’d certainly shatter your bones from your knees to your skull.
One could not help but admit that Jiang Pengji spoke harshly. Her viewers were sharp-tongued too!
In such a big space, there were all kinds of people. Thus, a big live streaming room was also composed of different people. Jiang Pengji never read these dirty words.
Sometimes there were divisive words in the chat room, but they’d be instantly drowned out by the other viewers’ comments.
Compared to what was going on in Jiang Pengji’s bullet screen, the audience seemed more interested in the situation at the drill grounds.
