Chapter 336: The Yan Family's Logic Depends on the Audi

whether to come forward.It is not hard to guess that these people must be out of food.Whether they wanted to buy grain with silver or beg for it, no one would pay attention.Previously, there was a se...The lord’s heart felt like it was being fried in oil. His parents had passed away years ago, and he had lived alone for many years. Now, finally, he had found the long-lost warmth of home in the Li family. He treated the old lady like his own mother and was very close to her.

But he just left for one night, and the house was gone

He really wished he could draw his sword and kill him!

But killing isn't the worst pain. For these self-proclaimed high-ranking socialites, there are punishments that hurt them more than death!

"Come here, hang all these trespassers up! We'll settle the account with their families when they arrive!"

Immediately, villagers went to fetch ropes and helped the soldiers tie up all of嚴家主's servants.

Mrs. Yan, the second wife, still wanted to scold, but a soldier kicked her in the head, and she fainted on the spot.

Soon, the three masters of the Yan family and over ten maidservants all became salted fish in the wind, drifting in the autumn wind under the eaves.

This wasn't just seen by Li's family and the villagers, but also by the guests outside.

Someone gasped, "What grudge do the Yan and Li families have Why would they attack each other in broad daylight"

"I don't know, the Li family is really bold, bullying the old lady of the Yan family like this!"

"Indeed, this matter has blown up big time! The Marquis is clearly sticking up for the Li family!"

"Of course! Didn't you hear that little girl from the Li family just call him 'father' "

A buzz of conversation filled the air, excitement palpable. Some even slipped away from the crowd, disappearing into the throng – perhaps to send a message or maybe simply overcome by fear.

The village head and others, seeing the Marquis return, found their backbone. They gathered under the eaves, knocking their soft legs and sighing, "We're really old, useless. Life gets a little easier and we lose our spirit. We used to fight wolves in the mountains and didn't make much fuss about it. Now, facing just a group of women, we can't even win, and our legs are trembling with fear. It's truly pathetic."

"These people are just too ruthless and arrogant. Hui's carrying two children, if they really take them away, the three of us would be doomed."

"Yes, and what about little Funiu Such a small child and such a thick stick. They just hit her when they say so. Would Funiu even survive if it landed on her head"

Several old men were terrified. They had been buried halfway, truly fearless of death, but afraid they couldn't protect Huiniang and Funiu'er!

The old woman recalled her granddaughter running around just now, and she couldn't help but nag a few more words out of worry.

Resulting from the situation, Jia Yin hid in the Marquis's embrace, her head not daring to lift. It was unclear whether she was frightened or afraid of being scolded.

Of course, the old woman couldn't say anything more. Her granddaughter's safety was more important than anything else.

Tao Hongying helped her mother-in-law sit down and choked back tears, "Mother, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to the mountain valley so early today..."

"What kind of foolish things are you saying You're doing the right thing, how can you stay home all the time Besides, they're just taking advantage of our family being a small farming household, that's why they're so brazen in their acts of vandalism and theft. Even if you were home, you wouldn't be able to stop them!"

The old woman patted her daughter-in-law's hand and sighed, "If we were those big families in the city, with someone in official position, they wouldn't dare be so arrogant. They might even put on a show of affection and come to claim kinship, luring Huilan back and then dealing with her. They would definitely give us some consideration!"

"But look, as soon as they came in, they started making excuses to smash things. This shows that they're harboring resentment towards our family for taking in Da Yong and Hui Niang, and are using this opportunity to intimidate us!"

Everyone nodded, agreeing with the old woman's words.

Yan's family never felt that they were wrong, nor did they feel that the family had forced their son away. They believed that their son was now like this because of Li's instigation!

Such people are unreasonable to talk about. Of course, the Yan family understands reason and disdain to speak with the Li family, such commoners!

The lord gently patted the little girl in his arms, his eyes darkening even further, “Aunt, tell me what happened just now.”

The old woman perked up and carefully recounted to them everything the Yan family had said and done upon entering.

Zhao Shu, Dongmei, Li Lao Er, Tao Hongying and others added some details, and soon the whole story was restored.

The more people talked, the angrier they became, wishing they could beat up the Yan family again.

At this time, Li Laosi and Li Yong rode hard and finally came back.

Li Yong's hair was all over the place, he leaped off his horse and rushed into the yard.

The chaotic scene, villagers with furious expressions, and his mother and sister-in-law along with the servants hanging under the eaves left him bewildered.

I completely forgot which foot to put forward!

Li Lao Si didn't care about these things, he strode forward and knelt at his mother's feet, "Mother, are you hurt"

The old woman had been doing much better. Hearing her son ask that, her nose welled up again. She forced back her tears and replied, “Don’t worry, Dong Mei and the villagers protected us fiercely. Everyone in the family is unharmed, it's just… our house was smashed to pieces.”

Li Lao Si's throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

The old woman, afraid he would go mad, hurriedly instructed, "Don't get angry, there must be an explanation for this."

Jia Yin was also worried about this, calling "Daddy" as she went to hug her father's neck.

Lao Si hugged his daughter tightly, and the anxious feeling in his heart finally calmed down.

The servants of Master Yan, who were still hanging upside down, saw Li Yong return and regained their courage. They began to sob and plead for mercy.

"Third Master, save me!"

"Lao San, I'm your second sister-in-law! Please let me down!"

Mrs. Yen was even angrier, scolding him, "Unfilial son, are your eyes blind! Let me down! I'm going to die!"

Before Li Yong could speak, the Lord waved his hand. A soldier stepped forward and released Old Madam Yan, but the rest remained indifferent.

Li Yong hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to help his disheveled mother. Seeing the bruises on her face, he asked, "Mother, what happened How did you find your way here"

“How could I not come You said that wretch died, and you were going to become a monk! I cried until my eyes were blind! And now you’re living the good life here, acting like someone’s son! Don’t you have any shame Any consideration for our family”

Mrs. Yan was a master at playing the victim. She knew how to manipulate her son, and now she was pounding her chest dramatically while crying loudly.

"You're looking for a place to settle down, and you choose such a den of thieves! My sisters-in-law and I came to bring Huai back home. We thought about how harsh we were to you all before. Since Huai is about to give birth, we can't let the child of the Yan family be raised by strangers, can we"

"But they wouldn't let us go, and they beat us up like this! Waaah, I've lived half my life, and now I have to suffer this! I can't live anymore!"

"You farted!" Tao Hongying couldn't take it anymore, she jumped up and started scolding.

“You barge in and start beating people and smashing things, then you try to drag Hui-niang away! When my mother won’t let you, you just take her by force! There are old people and children all over the courtyard, but you swing your sticks without any mercy! Fu Niuer is only a few years old, and you dare to kill her! What do you mean by coming to pick someone up You came here to murder!”

Hui Niang

Li Yong, upon hearing this, shivered with excitement and finally remembered what he had forgotten.

He shoved his mother aside and stood up to look for his wife.

At this moment, the commotion outside the courtyard gate grew louder. The men of the Yan family had finally arrived. Even Zhou, the elder who had helped build the valley back then, followed behind them.young, I’m afraid she can't take care of our mother.”"Alright, go early and come back early. Before I switch shifts tomorrow morning, remember to be back. Don't make me get scolded with you!""Don't wo...
