Chapter 890: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 890: The Savage Yan Yan (4)
The Liu family mother and daughter couldn’t just watch Wei Mama being beaten. They quickly rushed forward to stop it. In her anger, Liu Tinglan grabbed a feather duster from the table and fiercely swung it at Du Laizi’s back.
However, before she could strike again, Du Laizi’s two older sons rushed forward to stop her.
These two weren’t any better. After snatching the feather duster from her, they disgustingly reached out to grope Liu Tinglan’s chest.
Mo Yan burst into the room and was immediately enraged by the scene. Without thinking, she picked up a nearby tea table and swung it hard at Du Laizi’s eldest and second son.
Having refined her body with spiritual spring water and trained with the help of Xue Tuanzi, Mo Yan’s strength was enough to easily lift a large round table, let alone a small tea table. When the table struck, both of Du Laizi’s sons were knocked to the ground with a scream that sounded like a dying pig: “Ah—!”
Fresh blood poured from the wounds, quickly soaking their thin clothes and spreading across their backs, filling the air with a faint smell of blood.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
Seeing the cold fury on Mo Yan’s face, the Du family was frozen in fear. Hearing the agonized screams of Du Laizi’s eldest and second sons, they were gripped by an overwhelming fear, wishing their parents had given them more legs to flee faster.
Du Laizi, who had been beating Wei Mama earlier, froze with his raised fist under Mo Yan’s sharp gaze. He was too afraid to strike, fearing the tea table in her hand would strike him instead.
Seeing that the Du family was paralyzed in fear, Mo Yan calmly walked over to Du Laizi’s eldest and second sons, who were still groaning in pain. Noticing that they couldn’t move and were bleeding from their backs, she sneered and kicked both of them before walking over to the Liu family mother and daughter, who were still recovering from their shock.
“Aunt, Sister Lan, are you alright?”
When the Liu family saw Mo Yan holding the tea table, they exchanged a glance and nodded, shaking their heads.
“Glad you’re okay!” Mo Yan sighed in relief, then turned to Du Laizi, who was still in disbelief. With his shocked gaze upon her, she lifted the tea table once again and smashed it down onto him.
If it weren’t for the fact that killing would tarnish her moral standing and the crime wasn’t severe enough to warrant death, she would have aimed directly for Du Laizi’s head with the blow.
Looking down at Du Laizi, who was wailing on the floor, clutching his broken arm, Mo Yan dropped the tea table and stepped on his chest. “You Du family spread rumors and slandered my Sister Lan. I didn’t go to your family to settle the score, so you should be thanking your ancestors. But now, you dare to come to my door and cause trouble. Since you delivered yourselves to me, I won’t let you go unpunished.”
As she spoke, Mo Yan’s eyes scanned the room. When she noticed Du Wencai was absent, a flash of regret crossed her face. If that scoundrel had been here, she would have dealt with him as well. Now, she had to come up with another way to rid herself of this trouble.
The rest of the Du family, seeing Du Laizi knocked down by Mo Yan, were completely terrified. When Mo Yan’s gaze turned to them, they shrank back in fear, not daring to speak a word, afraid that they would be the next target.
Seeing that they were subdued, Mo Yan couldn’t be bothered with the group of old, weak, women, and children. With her sleeve concealing her movements, she took out a name card from her spatial ring and handed it to the hastily arriving Uncle Sun. “Uncle Sun, take this name card to the yamen and tell them that this group of troublemakers attacked us. Ask them to come quickly for reinforcements.”
With her status as a county princess, she held far more weight than any jinshi. This time, she would make sure the Du family would never rise again!
Uncle Sun, overjoyed, quickly took the name card from Mo Yan’s hand. “Thank you, County Princess! I’ll go at once!”
After speaking, he nodded at the Liu family mother and daughter before rushing out.
The Du family, seeing Mo Yan hand over the name card to Uncle Sun for the official report, were filled with fear. But they hadn’t realized how serious their situation was until they heard Uncle Sun refer to Mo Yan as “County Princess.” At that moment, it was as if the sky had fallen down on them.
Only now did they recall that Du Wencai had mentioned that the Liu family was close to a county princess. They had been calculating, thinking that once Du Wencai married Liu Tinglan, they could use the princess’s connections to send Du Wencai to the Changshan Academy, and find good positions for Du Laizi’s sons, possibly even in government jobs. The dream of living a life of luxury was within their reach.
But they never imagined that today, their entire family would be crushed by the very princess they had planned to use.
Ignoring the desperate wails of the Du family, Mo Yan turned to Madam Liu and asked, “Aunt, how do you plan to deal with these people?”
Madam Liu hesitated before answering, worriedly asking, “Yan girl, will this affect your reputation?”
People sympathize with the weak. The Du family had been beaten so badly at the Liu household, but if they were then dragged away by the authorities, it would raise suspicions that Mo Yan, using her status as a princess, was acting recklessly. If it escalated, her reputation could be tarnished.
“Yes, Yan Yan, we can’t let you bear this bad name,” Liu Tinglan also nodded, worried about her friend’s involvement.
Seeing that they were truly concerned for her, Mo Yan smiled and reassured them, “Aunt, Sister Lan, don’t worry. I have everything under control.”
Mo Yan’s confident demeanor eased the worries of the Liu family somewhat, but they were still determined to protect her from the mess she had gotten herself into.
