Chapter 280 If you want a fight, just say no
The concubine of the Yu family did have a knife in her hand. It was a dagger hidden in her sleeve. It was very exquisite and small, and the handle and scabbard were inlaid with gems.
In fact, this is not really a murder weapon, because the blade is very short, not even as long as an adult's thumb, and it is probably used to peel fruit or something. The concubine carried it with her, probably because she thought it looked good and was valuable, and she was reluctant to put it away.
But when people are angry, they don't care about so many things. The knife used to peel fruit can also be used to hurt people. The moment she pushed Mrs. Hai and Yu Xuanji away, the dagger was pulled out and slid forward with force.
Everyone who saw it gasped. It was too late to stop them, so all they could do was pray for the two men.
Fortunately, Ji Rong also came out. Others could not react in time, but the speed of the knife was too slow for Ji Rong. Ji Rong did not move much, but just raised his hand casually, grabbed the concubine by the back of the neck, lifted her up like a chicken, and then smashed it hard at the plaque above the Yu Mansion!
There was a bang, two bangs, and then a crash. It was the sound of the concubine hitting the plaque, then falling to the ground, and then the plaque was broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.
People were frightened when they saw this scene, wondering how could Mrs. Hai have such a powerful girl around her? Then Ji Rong walked up to the concubine, stretched out her hand and picked her up again, grabbed her arm, and started slapping her in the face.
He whipped her more than a dozen times before stopping. Then he said to the concubine who was beaten like a pig, "I just heard you scolding my master. Listen, concubine of the Yu family, if you want a beating, just say so. Even if you move to the outer city, I will come whenever I call, and I will beat you as soon as I get there. I will leave after I'm done, and I will never eat at your house. Remember, I don't care if you scold others, but if you scold my master or someone my master cares about, then I must whip you."
The concubines were stunned. Yu Xiaodie finally rushed out of the house at this time, crying and throwing herself at her aunt.
Otherwise, how can we say that there is no coincidence in the world! Just as Yu Xiaodie ran out, Ji Duo's carriage arrived in front of the Yu Mansion.
A man got out of the carriage, a young man in his twenties. The young man walked straight towards Yu Xiaodie after getting off the carriage, and asked her on the spot: "I heard that you tried to seduce the eldest son of the First-Rank General's Mansion again? Why did you do this? You and I have already been engaged for life, we have kissed and hugged each other, and I even told my family that I would come to your house with a betrothal gift to propose marriage after the reconstruction of the inner city is completed. Why are you thinking about someone else behind my back? Do you think my family has too little money, or do you think my family has no official position?"
The young master became angrier and angrier as he spoke, "My family is well-known in the outer city. We have five or six shops on the busy streets. People who want to marry me line up to go out of the city. This young master chose you and gave you millions of gold and silver, but you are so ungrateful. OK, Yu Xiaodie, you are really good, but you are so shameless!" After saying this, he slapped Yu Xiaodie in the face, "You fickle thing! Since you are hooking up with someone else, then return all the money I spent on you in the past six months! And return the jewelry and jade I bought for you! I don't support ungrateful people!"
After the concubine was beaten, Yu Xiaodie was also beaten and half of her face was swollen. The mother and daughter were in the same boat, and because they had no reason to say anything, they could only sit on the ground and cry.
People suddenly realized, "So your family is casting a wide net to catch more fish! First catch a bunch of fish, and then slowly pick them out? And you let your daughter go out and kiss and hug the man, how bold!"
The people in the inner city were a little unhappy. "This is really a disgrace to the inner city official residence. You should leave quickly and don't come back. You have brought shame to other families for nothing. If this gets out, people will think how daring the inner city official residence is!"
The young master who was in love with Yu Xiaodie grabbed her and asked her for money. At this time, people from Nanny Ji's side also arrived.
The shopkeepers of Wanfulou, Jixiang Shop, wine shop, antique shop, cloth shop, restaurant, and coffin shop all gathered around and trapped the concubine and Yu Xiaodie in the middle.
The shopkeeper of Wanfulou was the first to speak: "Madam Yu, are you moving? Then should we settle the previous credit? You can't leave if you owe money."
The people from the Jixiang Shop also came forward, lowered their heads and carefully identified her for a while, then laughed, "Oh, if I hadn't looked carefully, I wouldn't have noticed. How did Madam Yu get beaten like this? Did Master Yu find out that you had too many debts outside and was unhappy? I'm telling you, although we call you Madam out of respect, you have to know whether she is Madam or concubine. In a family, the main wife is the one who makes the decisions. No matter how favored a concubine is, how much money would a man be willing to spend on her?"
"That's right." The coffin shop owner also stepped forward and said, "We are not going to make things difficult for you today, nor are we here to cause trouble on purpose. We just want to collect the credit before you move out. Once you give us the money, we will leave right away."
"Yes, pay the money quickly before Master Yu comes out, or you'll get beaten up again if someone comes out and finds out about this. We all know who Master Yu is. If you want to pay the money bit by bit, it'll be fine. But if you ask him to pay so much at once, it'll be like cutting off his flesh. So hurry up and pay it back with your private money."
Yu Xiaodie was a little scared, because these people were right, her father was a miser. Even though he doted on her aunt, it was too difficult to get money from her.
If my aunt wanted to buy something, she would pay for what she could, and if she couldn't pay, she would buy it on credit, and then deduct the money from her father bit by bit.
After a while, I had a lot of debts. I thought that since we all lived in the inner city, we would see each other every day, and it would be okay as long as I could pay it back. But I didn't expect that I would be kicked out of the inner city and the debt collectors came all at once.
She wanted to say a few good words for her aunt, but who would listen to her? Besides, her father had already walked out angrily, and after a moment of hesitation, he had already arrived in front of him. "You owe money outside?" When Yu Changwen mentioned money, his eyes immediately widened. The concubine and concubine who were usually the most favored, none of them counted at this moment, he wanted to ask about the money. So he pulled the concubine up, and didn't care who was in such a state, just stared at her and asked, "Tell me, how did you owe it! How much do you owe?"
How could the concubine know how much she owed? She didn't remember it clearly. Seeing that she didn't say anything, the shopkeepers took the initiative to come forward and settle the accounts with him one by one.
Yu Changwen could understand the debts owed to jewelry stores, restaurants, snack shops, and even taverns, but he just couldn't understand the situation with the coffin shop. "How could she still owe money to the coffin shop?"
The shopkeeper said, "Who knows? They said they were going to buy the best coffin for a funeral. When I heard that, I thought some important person in the family had passed away. I almost thought it was you, Mr. Yu."
Yu Changwen was so angry that he almost went berserk. He pointed at his beloved concubine and yelled, "You little bitch! Tell me clearly, who did you buy the coffin for?"
The concubine cried and said, "I bought it for my brother. My brother passed away last year, and as his sister, I wanted to buy him a good coffin. At that time, I asked the master for money, but you didn't give me any. I had no choice but to buy it on credit."
"Buy him a coffin? I don't even have such a good coffin, and you bought it for him? Are your parents a wolf that can never be fed? What did your parents do when your brother died? I've never heard of a sister buying a coffin for her brother! Also, those jewelry, snacks, and clothes, are you crazy? Is there a shortage of food or clothes in the mansion? Is it necessary for you to go out and show off? You spendthrift, I must beat you to death today!" After saying that, he picked up a large plaque that fell on the side and smashed it on the concubine's head.
The concubine was so scared that she held her head and begged for mercy. Yu Xiaodie also kept saying good things for her aunt. However, it would have been better if she hadn't said anything good. As soon as she mentioned the lover from the outer city, she got excited again and squeezed over to tell Yu Changwen: "Your good daughter is not only fickle, but she also cheated my family of a lot of money. If you don't pay back all the money today, I will report you to the government!"
Yu Changwen became even angrier and swung the stick wider, hitting not just one person but two people.
The concubine was hurt by the beating and became angry. She simply started to curse at him: "You only know how to beat me. If you weren't such a stingy person, would I have to buy things on credit? I wear good clothes and use good things just to make you look good! There is so much money at home, but you just don't want to take it out. Do you want to take all that money to your coffin?"
People stepped back again, leaving a large space for the Yu family to display their power. They thought that this was really a case of dogs biting each other, and a family like the Yu family didn't need outsiders to disintegrate, they could kill themselves.
Ji Duo and Nanny Ji had already returned to Ye Wenyan. Ji Rong was so angry at the concubine and the illegitimate daughter that she rushed into the crowd and broke out two teeth for each of them.
At this time, the officials from Lin'an Prefecture finally arrived. When the officials arrived, the first thing they did was to rush forward and separate the people who were fighting. The concubine was more friendly to the official than to anyone else. She immediately knelt down in front of the official and shouted loudly with her mouth leaking: "I want to file a complaint! I want to sue Miss Ye Si for letting me commit murder!"
People almost laughed their heads off. "Are you crazy? Your man beats you, and you sue Miss Ye Si? Can you win?"
The concubine pointed at her own mouth, then at Ji Rong, "She broke my teeth! My teeth are gone!"
Ji Rong rolled her eyes, "I told you, if you curse my master I will beat you, even though you didn't curse when you were beaten, but you did curse before! I can't help it, who made me remember it again!" After saying that, she glanced at the officer who was being held, "Sir officer, do you think what I said makes sense?"
