They say that scars forget the pain, and this makes sense.
Zhang Mingli noticed the pain in his body and began to regret that he came to the door again. He kept rolling on the ground, trying to avoid Lu Ting'an's fist.
"It's against the law to hit someone, so hurry up and pull him away."
He shouted this to the crowd watching the excitement on the street.
He would beg for mercy, and Nalu Ting'an also spoke up and said plausibly: "This bastard came to the shop to cause trouble, and he refused to leave no matter what, so I had no choice but to take action."
If business people fight at the door, it will affect some reputation. But the couple is usually kind to others, and they often give people cheaper things in the shop. Many people think that if they were not forced, it would definitely not happen.
This kind of thing.
The people from the Yamen arrived quickly, and Lu Ting'an finally stopped. At that time, Zhang Mingli had a bruised nose and a swollen face, like a pig's head, and lay limp on the ground. He didn't even have the strength to move, let alone fight back.
When the government officials saw people being beaten like this, they were a little speechless. One of the leaders stepped forward and said, "Injuring someone is a serious crime. Please come with us."
Lu Ting'an was very well-behaved and did not argue or refuse at all.
Seeing this, the officer's attitude towards him became better.
Zhang Mingli was beaten all over, and the corners of his lips were hit several times. It hurt when he spoke. However, Lu Ting'an was not idle along the way. He told the story again, emphasizing that he was looking for someone to come to find trouble and treated him badly.
His wife made rude remarks, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he took action.
The fight between the two made a lot of noise. People around Zhang Mingli wanted to step forward to protect the master, but when they realized that he couldn't get close, they had already sent people home to report the news.
Almost at the same time that the group arrived outside the Yamen, the Zhang family and his wife also arrived.
Seeing her son who was seriously injured, Mrs. Zhang almost went crazy. She glared at Chu Yunli fiercely: "Zhao Shuangyu, this matter is not over yet."
Chu Yunli chuckled: "If he hadn't come here to cause trouble, even if my husband wanted to beat someone, he wouldn't be able to."
Lu Ting'an also emphasized: "He came to your door to be beaten by himself! You can't take care of your son, so I have to help."
When the adults came out, regarding the injury, Lu Ting'an said that he was also at fault and was willing to compensate.
Zhang Mingli was so angry that he was not in need of some medicine money. He immediately said: "I don't accept his apology. Beating someone violates the law. Please investigate and deal with it according to the law."
The adult was quite helpless: "You were the one who came to see me first and disturbed others' business. If we want to hold him accountable for beating people, you should also be guilty of disturbing others' business for no reason."
In the current situation, it is best for the Zhang family to take the compensation and not pursue the case any further.
His son ran to find trouble with Zhao Shuangyu, but was beaten up and brought to court. Mr. Zhang really couldn't afford to embarrass this man... No matter what the reason for the fight was, when outsiders heard about it, they would subconsciously think it was...
His son was unwilling to go to pester his former wife, so he was beaten up by Zhao Shuangyu's current man.
In a wealthy family, face is more important than money.
So, with the mediation of the adults, the matter was settled.
This matter was delayed for a long time. When we left the Yamen, it was already dark. Several people now looked at each other disgustedly. They were very polite to each other in front of adults. After going out, they turned their heads to the side without saying hello.
Everyone went back to their homes.
The couple returned to Lu's house. As soon as they entered the door, there was already a steward waiting for them.
Mrs. Lu had already heard about what happened to her stepson, and sent someone to invite the master back. When she saw the two people entering the door, she was the first to attack: "Ting'an, no matter what happens, you shouldn't hit anyone."
Mr. Lu also looked disapproving: "You are really promising. If word spreads, how will our family see anyone?"
"Dad, people have bullied me. If I don't fight back, it will become a joke." Lu Ting'an said plausibly: "Pisces is my wife now. Zhang Mingli has troubled her time and time again. It's clear that he didn't put me in his care."
In his eyes, in the final analysis, he is just jealous because he can’t have a baby, and he can’t bear to see me and Pisces having a baby.”
When the child was mentioned, Mr. Lu's expression softened: "Then you shouldn't do anything."
"Sometimes it's not that I want to take action, but that I have no choice but to do it." Lu Ting'an said with a serious face: "This person fell down while walking on the street. Sometimes it's not that I wasn't careful enough, but that someone wanted to bump into him.
It's clear that something unexpected happened. My son doesn't want to cause trouble, but he's not afraid of it either!"
She actually didn't feel that she was at all wrong. Mrs. Lu stood up and said, "Your father heard about the fight and rushed back immediately. What is your attitude?"
She turned her head and looked at the man: "Master, Ting'an is so arrogant, you should ask the family to teach you a lesson!"
Mr. Lu rubbed his eyebrows. His son was weak and had only gotten better recently. What if this beating killed another half of his life?
"Ting'an, don't make trouble again in the future. Take your wife back!" Thinking of something, he added: "Remember to find a doctor to diagnose her pulse. Don't be scared."
Mrs. Lu: "..."
Her face was full of disbelief. Seeing that the young couple really left intact, she couldn't help blurting out: "Master, you don't love the child so much. Ting Ning had a fight with someone the year before last, but you asked for help.
I beat him until he couldn't get out of bed for half a month, and one of his legs was almost useless..."
"You want to say that I am partial?" Mr. Lu looked at her indifferently: "Ting Ning was trying to compete with someone for the bride! Not to mention that he shouldn't have gone to the flower house to drink, and he shouldn't have fought over a woman.
Being taught a lesson? Besides, he has been in good health since he was a child, so what’s the point of being beaten? Isn’t he still alive and kicking now?”
Mrs. Lu was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. What kind of reason is this?
Lu Ting'an was weak and could not be beaten. His son had a strong skin, so he deserved to be beaten?
"master!"
Mr. Lu was no longer willing to listen, and stood up suddenly: "I came back early, there are still some things that have not been discussed, and there are merchants waiting for me in the restaurant. I won't be back tonight."
This man stayed out all night, and even if he didn't go to the flower house, the goblins around him would never miss this opportunity. Mrs. Lu watched the man leave, her chest was beating with anger, and she couldn't calm down for a while.
Her heart was filled with rage, so she turned to her mother-in-law and whispered a few instructions.
Even though she was pregnant, Chu Yunli still insisted on going out every day. Both of them needed to take good care of their bodies, so they were used to going to bed early and getting up early.
At dawn the next day, Chu Yunli was already fully dressed and walked out of the yard with Lu Ting'an.
The sky was dark, and the bluestone floor was completely dark. Lu Ting'an stepped out and felt a slip under his feet. He immediately stopped his position, and at the same time, he held the people around him tighter.
Both of them had strong figures. Chu Yunli noticed something was wrong and immediately stabilized his figure. They both took two steps back. After another closer look, they found that the place they stepped on was a little darker.
Lu Ting'an squatted down, touched it, and then looked around. He soon saw a little girl peeking over among the flowers and trees. He ran over and pulled her out: "What's going on?
thing?"
Before the little girl could speak, he said sternly: "Tell the truth and I will spare your life!"
At this moment, there was a chill all over his body, and his whole body was extremely cold. The girl was so frightened that she shivered.
Before taking action, she didn't expect that these two people would not fall!
If she falls, she is too busy to call a doctor, so how can she have time to pursue her?
Being caught red-handed... Even if she insists on not admitting it, there are some things that, as long as the master has determined it, even if it is not her fault, it is still her fault.
"Speak!" Lu Ting'an's patience ran out: "Here comes someone who intends to murder his wife and young master. Drag him down and kill him with a cane. After beating him, he will throw them into a mass grave. There is no need to reply."
It was so cruel that the people around him were frightened, but they did not dare to plead for mercy and quickly stepped forward to drag him away.
The maid saw that she was about to be dragged away. There was already a mother-in-law who was ready to gag her. She was so scared that she would lose her life if she didn't plead for mercy. She cried and shouted: "I have something to say. Sister Jiang asked me to do it..."
"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that her master was unmoved and the person dragging her did not slow down, so she hurriedly added: "Sister Jiang's distant aunt is Madam Zhou's mother-in-law."
Lu Ting'an raised his hand: "Sell it."
The maid still wanted to beg for mercy, but she had no chance. However, she quickly gave up. Compared to being killed with a stick and thrown into a mass grave, or being sold to a nanny, she still had a chance to survive.
After the whimpering maid left, Lu Ting'an turned her head and looked at Chu Yunli: "She should be the one who did it. What do you want to do?"
It was already daylight now, and the area where tung oil was poured on the ground was clearly visible. Chu Yunli blinked: "She wants to give me a hard knock, so just retaliate in kind."
Lu Ting'an walked away: "Wait!"
He quickly disappeared on the path and went straight to the main courtyard.
Mrs. Lu had nothing to do and went to bed very early at night. Because she had something on her mind, she couldn't sleep last night. Sometimes she was angry and sometimes excited. She got up early in the morning, but she didn't wash up. She sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her from time to time.
Glancing out the window, waiting for the good news to come.
Soon there was movement. The maid outside seemed to be shouting something urgently, and she sat up straighter.
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and the stepson with a cold face walked in. Mrs. Lu was happy when she saw his expression, but with a serious look on her face, she scolded: "Ting'an, this is the elder's house.
, no matter how urgent the matter is, you can’t force it in. We are not biological mother and son. Your father is not here today..."
Lu Ting'an looked calm: "Madam, you are overthinking. I am not in the mood to eat old vegetables."
Mrs. Lu: "..." Who are the Lao Cai Bangzi?
Even if her stepson is much younger than her, there is really no ambiguity between the two, and she doesn't like to be called old!
It was very inappropriate for a junior to say this to an elder. Just when Mrs. Lu was about to scold her, she saw someone had already arrived, and then she was lifted up.
The clothes were strangling her neck so much that it hurt. Mrs. Lu's face changed drastically, and her heart was filled with anger: "Lu Ting'an, let go!"
People outside heard the noise and chased in one after another.
Lu Ting'an scolded: "Go away!"
They were all masters, and the subordinates did not dare to come forward to start a fight. Lu Ting'an dragged Mrs. Lu all the way to the garden, straight to the path filled with tung oil, and threw her away from a distance.
The oil is very slippery, and ordinary people cannot stand at all. Mrs. Lu, who has been pampered for many years, naturally does not have this ability, especially when she staggered a few steps. As soon as she stepped on the tung oil, her whole body slid forward uncontrollably, and then she fell violently.
He hit the ground hard and landed face first.
She had never experienced such pain, and she screamed immediately.
