Chapter 30 Love but not getting it
Yin Xu only knows a little bit of kung fu, but of course, this is enough for him in the capital.
Who could have thought that there would be someone so bold as to lay hands on a marquis under the feet of the emperor?
When he was first dragged in, Yin Xu was still in shock.
Before I could react, a black bag had been placed over my head. Everything in front of me was dark and I couldn't see anything.
Immediately afterwards, fists rained down on him, hitting Yin Xu so hard that his entire body was in pain.
He was very stubborn at first, and threatened as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Who are you? How dare you attack me! Do you know who I am? I am the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery!"
Seeing that threats are useless, we can only use inducements:
"If you let me go now, I will pretend that this never happened and give you some money. How about that?"
The fists finally stopped.
Then several hands searched his body violently. After searching for a long time, they only found a few pieces of silver.
While searching, Yin Xu also felt several hands maliciously pinching his chest and buttocks, which made him feel both pain and fear. He was really worried that he would be forced to develop another "relationship" here.
Then a hoarse, strong man's voice was heard. The suppressed voice was obviously disguised, but the meaning of disgust did not diminish at all:
"Bah! You're such a poor bastard. You want to bribe us with just this little money? Keep beating me!"
This time, the fist landed with even greater force.
Yin Xu couldn't help crying because of the pain. He finally changed from his arrogant attitude at the beginning to kneeling down and begging for mercy:
"Please, gentlemen, let me go! I really haven't offended you. Did you guys recognize the wrong person?"
Outside the black cloth, Uncle Ye, with his gray hair, held a stick in his hand and stood aside, watching a few men beating up the unfaithful man, and occasionally he would hit them with the stick.
These people know best where to hit and where it hurts without leaving obvious marks, but it will be difficult to heal afterwards.
Hearing Yin Xu begging for mercy so quickly, Uncle Ye looked even more unhappy.
How dare a guy like this bully a grown girl?
He threw down his stick and said in a rough voice:
"Humph, admit your mistake? With your idiot face, no one can admit my mistake even if I do!"
Afterwards, no matter how Yin Xu begged for mercy, the men did not stop and beat him severely before leaving.
Yin Xu was left with a black cloth bag covering his head, fainted in this remote alley.
After a while, he slowly woke up and felt as if his whole body had been run over by a carriage. He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Realizing that there was no sound outside, the criminals were probably gone. He hurriedly tore off the black cloth on his head and finally saw the light again.
His clothes were torn off and in a mess, as if he had been raped.
Fortunately, apart from the pain from being beaten, there was no other abnormality on his body. At least, his innocence remained.
Yin Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but was distressed to find that he had no money left.
Although the Marquis' Mansion will definitely not be short of money in the future, he is very short of money now!
Even if only a small amount of silver was stolen from him, he still felt very sad.
In addition to this, of course, there is more anger.
Yin Xu thought about it and decided that this matter must be related to Ye Qiongying!
Apart from her, who else in the capital city would go out of her way to find someone to beat him up?
There is only Ye Qiongying who just returned home a few days after her divorce!
Yin Xu didn't go to Leng Qianqian's shop at this time, and he didn't want to borrow money with such a wounded face. With a heart full of anger, he impulsively ran to Ye's house.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
After the loud banging on the door, a young security guard opened the door. Seeing Yin Xu outside, the young man replied, "Wait a moment."
After a while, a bowl of porridge and some buns came out:
"Take these and eat them! You are still young, brother. You should find a proper job. There is no future for begging."
Damn!
Yin Xu didn't understand what this was doing at first, but when he heard this, he realized that the gatekeeper was treating him as a beggar begging for alms!
He immediately flew into a rage:
"You are blind! I am the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery! I am the husband of the eldest daughter of the Ye family!"
The doorman looked him up and down, then said, "Oh!" He did not look down on him because of his status. Instead, he said:
"My eldest daughter has already been divorced, so how can she have a husband? However... judging from her appearance, she does look vaguely like the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Wait a minute, I'll go and inform you."
After he finished speaking, the door slammed shut. He was surprisingly much more rude than before when people thought he was a beggar.
Obviously, Yin Xu's current status in the Ye family is even worse than that of a beggar.
Yin Xu wanted to break down the door again, but suddenly someone else passed by on the street outside.
Only then did he remember that his current appearance should not be seen by more people, so he finally waited obediently.
The Ye family was quite polite this time and didn't let him wait too long. The door opened again. In addition to the young doorman from before, there was an old man, who was Uncle Ye.
Seeing that Yin Xu still had the strength to come over, Uncle Ye felt that he had hit him too lightly today and could hit him harder next time.
It just so happens that the young men in the mansion have been restless for a long time, so it would be a good idea to use him as a training ground.
Not knowing that he was about to become a check-in item for the Ye Mansion, Yin Xu followed the others inside. As soon as he saw Ye Qiongying, he said loudly:
"Ye Qiongying! You have such a vicious heart!
I agreed to all the conditions for the divorce, and even returned the jewelry I promised to return to you. How dare you find someone to do this to me?
It's okay if you can't love me, but it's too cruel to destroy me if you can't get me.
Do you really think I don't dare to attack you?"
Ye Qiongying really didn't know about this. The reason why she let Yin Xu in was just because... of the servant next to her who just brought over a box full of gold jewelry.
She thought Yin Xu came here to look for the servant.
Considering the extra wealth he had earned today, he agreed to let Yin Xu into the mansion.
Unexpectedly, I saw that his face was bruised and swollen, like a steamed bun made of leavened dough. The refugees fleeing famine looked better than him.
Not only Ye Qiongying, but also the servant Shi An on the other side was shocked. He didn't understand why his master became like this after just a moment's absence.
He didn't dare to delay and trotted to Yin Xu's side:
"Master, are you okay? I'll go get the doctor!"
Yin Xu then noticed that his personal servant was still here, and felt embarrassed.
Before I could say anything, I heard Ye Qiongying sneer:
"Me? I love you but can't have you? Tsk! Yin Xu, your face can be used as a wall, it's guaranteed to be much more useful than bricks.
How come I don't know what 'love' I still have for you? If you want to talk about this, don't come to me, I'm afraid it will make me sick."
Yin Xu didn't believe it, and said:
"I know what you're thinking, but it's because..."
"Ouch!" A woman's voice suddenly interrupted Yin Xu.
At the same time, several scrolls fell to the ground and rolled over, stopping right at Yin Xu's feet, unfolding slightly.
Yin Xu couldn't help but look down, and the next moment he frowned, picked up one of them and unfolded it directly.
After seeing the contents clearly, his face, which looked like a palette, turned even greener: "Ye Qiongying!"
