Yu Youyao added calmly, “l meant break his legs.”
Yin s.h.i.+ understood and stepped on Jia Changfengs other leg. Jia Changfeng rolled around in pain. “Ah, you, you b*tch. How dare you. 1 won’t let you off…”
Yu Youyao continued, “If you can’t speak human language, don’t open your mouth in the future.’
Yin s.h.i.+ squatted down and took out a porcelain bottle. He poured out a brownish-black pill and pinched Jia Changfengs face, forcing him to open his mouth and stuff the pill into his mouth, making him swallow it.
Although Jia Changfeng did not know what medicine the other party had forced him to take, he could guess that it was bad. He desperately clutched his neck, wanting to vomit the medicine out.
After a while, he realized that he couldn’t make a sound.
Jia Changfengs eyes widened in horror. He opened his mouth and kept making sounds.
Everyone present widened their eyes in shock.
Lin Ruoru was even more stunned on the spot. Although she was not afraid of Jia Changfeng, she would not fight him easily.
Yu Youyao said calmly, “This can be considered a small punishment. However, it’s the fathers fault for not teaching his son well. As an official of a prefecture, the Jiazhou Residence indulged his son who bullies men and women on the streets. When I return home, I’ll naturally report it to the Imperial Court.”
The County Head had the right to report to the Imperial Court. In addition, Yu Youyao’s father was the 13th censor. The Jiazhou Residence indulged his son, so the Imperial Court would definitely impeach him.
Her words were not a bluff.
The guards who had come with Jia Changfeng were immediately frightened out of their wits. They immediately lifted their young master and slipped away faster than a rabbit.
Lin Ruoru watched as Jia Changfeng left. She unclenched her fists and apologized to Yu Youyao. “County Head, this matter today was also caused by me. You were implicated and your reputation was damaged.”
Yu Youyao shook her head. “It’s not your fault. You don’t have to blame yourself.”
Lin Ruoru couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and her face was a little pale. “I don’t have a good reputation in Quanzhou. Jia Changfeng is very lecherous. Every time he sees me, he will tease me a little. However, because of the Lin and Yan families, he didn’t really attack me. I don’t know what guts he has today to dare to tease you.”
Yu Youyao said calmly, “I didn’t suffer. He was also punished.”
Lin Ruoru looked worried. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “The
Jiazhou Residence’s influence covers the whole of Quanzhou. It’s said that a strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake. Moreover, Jia Changfeng is the son of Jiazhou Residence’s beloved concubine. You…”
It was fine if his leg was broken, but why did she have to poison him until he was mute?
The Jiazhou Residence would definitely not let it go.
Yu Youyao said calmly, “I’ve already have bad blood with Jia Changfeng. He is arrogant and despotic, so he definitely would hold a grudge. No matter what, I’ll offend him. In order to prevent endless trouble in the future, it’s better to settle it once and for all and make him unable to cause trouble. He’s a cripple anyway. It’s impossible for the Jiazhou Residence to make things difficult for me on the surface for a piece of trash.”
Of course, all of this was because Jia Changfeng was the son of a concubine.
If it were the legitimate son, she wouldn’t have been so ruthless.
Besides, she had other reasons for doing this.
Lin Ruoru came to a realization. “When you mentioned later that you wanted to report to the Imperial Court, the Jiazhou Residence shouldn’t resent you for crippling his son. Instead, they should blame his useless son for causing trouble and provoking the dignified County Head. He even implicated the family and caused a commotion in the royal court. Jia Changfengs concubine wouldn’t dare to brag anymore.”
If this matter was resolved, she would have nothing to do with it.
The County Head of Shaoyi was really impressive.
Yu Youyao smiled but said nothing.
With the matter resolved perfectly, Lin Ruoru’s expression relaxed and she bade Yu Youyao farewell.
Yu Youyao also got into the carriage. As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lowered, her expression immediately darkened. She instructed Yin s.h.i.+, “Send someone to keep an eye on the Jia Residence immediately. Don’t let go of any commotion. Also, investigate the recent movements of the Jiazhou Residence on where they went and who they’ve interacted with. Tell me about the background of these people.”
Yin s.h.i.+ agreed.
At this moment, the Xie Residence had already received the news. Xie Jingliu and Xie Jingzhou quickly brought the guards to the Immortal Pavilion.
On the way, she encountered Yu Youyao’s carriage returning to the residence.
The two of them asked Yu Youyao about it. After knowing that she was fine, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Xie Jingzhou went to the Immortal Pavilion to deal with the aftermath.
Xie Jingliu accompanied Yu Youyao back to the residence.
As soon as she entered, Old Madam Xie welcomed her anxiously.
Seeing that Yu Youyao was fine, she felt a little relieved. “Little Yao’er, I heard that you met Jia Changfeng at the Immortal Pavilion today. Did he bully you…”
Yu Youyao nodded. “Yes, he said some unbearable things.”
Old Madam Xie!s expression was a little ugly. She held her granddaughter’s hand and softened her voice. “It’s common for a girl to walk around outside. Don’t worry. Although our Xie family is a merchant family, not everyone can bully us. Don’t worry, the Xie family will definitely take care of this matter. We won’t let you suffer for no reason.”
The reason why the Xie Residence could become the richest family in Quanzhou was because of the huge connections behind them. At the very least, the Jia Prefecture had been officials in Quanzhou for more than ten years and was in harmony with the Xie Residence.
“There’s no need for that.” Sensing her grandmother’s anger, Yu Youyao said gently, “I’ve always taken revenge on the spot. I asked Yin s.h.i.+ to break his legs and feed him mute medicine.’
Old Madam Xie was shocked for a moment, then she smiled. “Well done. Since we’ve offended such a despicable and shameless person, we can’t show mercy.
Otherwise, it will definitely become worse and cause endless trouble.” The two of them entered the house together.
Old Master Xie and her three uncles were all waiting in the house.
Yu Youyao explained the situation with Jia Changfeng and skipped over the despicable and shameless words he said. “…After I entered the Immortal Pavilion, the guards saw Jia Changfengs servant behaving suspiciously near the place. After that, Jia Changfeng came to the Immortal Pavilion and even booked a private room adjacent to me. When I left the Immortal Pavilion, he followed me out.’
Xie Jingliu’s expression was solemn. “He followed you into the Immortal Pavilion.’
Yu Youyao nodded. “Lin Ruoruo was so angry that she couldn’t stand Jia
Changfengs dirty words and deliberately mentioned my ident.i.ty as the County Head. I felt that something was amiss, so I deliberately used my status as a member of our family to test Jia Changfeng further. However, Jia Changfeng pretended to be a crazy drunkard and acted as if he didn’t hear me clearly.”
Old Master Xie’s expression gradually darkened. “It seems that Jia Changfeng knew your ident.i.ty long ago and deliberately followed you into the Immortal Residence. It wasn’t a coincidence that he used alcohol as an excuse to tease you later.”
The atmosphere in the living room was heavy.
Madam w.a.n.gs face darkened. “Where did a fourth-grade official’s concubine’s son get the guts to humiliate Little Yao’er? You have to know that not only is Little Yao’er the daughter of a n.o.ble family, but she’s also the County Head personally conferred by the Imperial Court. Her status is precious. Isn’t the Jiazhou Residence afraid of becoming enemies with the entire Yu Clan?”
How could a mere official have the confidence to be enemies with a n.o.ble family?
Something was wrong..
