Apparently, Ling took his statement as a joke while Mo and Li Wazi looked at him in disbelief. Yet Ye Yang felt that him beating other people up should not count as news.
Ye Yang, with an icy expression, gazed at the retreating landscapes and slowly spoke. “Ye Xuan!”
Ye Xuan?
Once it was known that Yang had been beating up Ye Xuan, only Li Wazi found the fact incomprehensible while Ye Liu and Ye Mo furrowed their brows.
To be able to enrage Yang so much that he resorted to physical attacks, Ye Xuan must have stepped on Yang’s bottom line somehow.
Ye Liu and Ye Mo asked in unison, “Yang, what happened?”
Li Wazi was curious too. “Yes, tell us! What did that Ye Xuan do to provoke you like that?”
He did not like Ye Xuan from the get-go. Since they were young, he always felt that this cousin of theirs constantly carried around a cynical smile. This person was definitely not a worthy friend.
There were only four of them on the cart. Ye Yang had never thought of Li Wazi as a stranger. He steadily told them what Ling had told him, verbatim.
When he came to the part where Ye Xuan acted on his dirty thoughts and took advantage of Liu Duo as she was walking home after fetching Liu Ran to school, Ye Liu abruptly pulled the reins and forced the bull to stop!
Ye Mo, on the other hand, was burning with anger. He did not hold back as he swore, “F**k him! I’m going to kill that son of a bitch!”
In a rage, he hopped down from the cart as he spoke and made a beeline to the Ye family courtyard.
Ye Liu had long suspected that Ye Xuan had been harboring evil designs towards their wife, but he never expected the man would actually do it.
For all he knew, the spirit might be willing but the flesh would usually be weak when it came to matters like this. Furthermore, Ye Xuan was a scholar. If word got around, it would affect his academic career.
Ye Liu also leaped down from the car and tossed the reins to Li Wazi. “Li Wazi, you get home now.”
When Ye Yang saw his two brothers make their way towards the Ye family courtyard in a rage, he immediately shouted at them, “Get back here!”
He had already beaten Ye Xuan half to death. If his two brothers went over there and beat him some more, Ye Xuan might not last.
Ye Mo’s fury index was already off the charts and he had lost all sense of rationality. Would he even heed his eldest brother?
He was speed walking before and, after Ye Yang yelled at them, he picked up the pace and ran!
Of course, he had an account to settle with Ye Xuan! The man had touched his wife inappropriately and took advantage of her!
Ye Liu might be purple with rage too, but he could still think straight. He stopped and turned back to face his eldest brother. With a smile, he said, “Don’t worry, Yang. We won’t really kill him. You should go home with Li Wazi. We’ll catch up later.”
And then he picked up the pace, trailing behind Ye Mo.
“Yang, do you think we should go home now, or wait at the Ye family courtyard?” Li Wazi asked him, his eyebrows furrowed.
He actually wanted to help too, but Ye Liu tossed the reins to him. He could not leave Ye Yang behind.
Ye Yang eyed him once before answering calmly, “Follow them.”
While he trusted his second brother, the third one was a different story. Ye Mo could be as stubborn as a mule sometimes.
Taking the reins, Li Wazi directed the bull towards wherever the two had ran off to.
At the Ye family courtyard, Grandmother Ye examined her precious grandson, who had been beaten into a pulp and was crying in immense pain. She broke out in tears at the sight of him.
“Xuan Er… my dear Xuan Er… which rascal did this to you? Tell me, I’ll avenge you!”
When a villager had come to tell her that Ye Xuan was found lying on the ground in the little grove near the school, she nearly jumped out of her skin.
