The Golden Age - Chapter 89: Release Anger
The person who suddenly appeared was a young man who was wearing gorgeous brocade robes. At first glance, one could tell he was from a really wealthy family.
However, in Yuwen County, no one was as wealthy or comparable in any way or form to the eldest son of the Yuwen family.
The person who came in was extremely drunk. Qin Xiao sighed, knowing that barging into the Eldest Son’s room while he was talking was extremely disrespectful. This young man would probably end up worse than Childe Ma. Qin Xiao quickly looked at Yuwen Chengchao. Sure enough, he looks pissed.
“Ah, Young Master.” Zhao Yi stood up and smiled. “Are you drunk?”
The person glanced at Zhao Yi and cursed, “Who the hell are you? How am I drunk? Go away, you’re not qualified to talk to me. I want to talk to the Eldest Son.”
Yuwen Chengchao’s face was even more pissed. Pang Yu and the others also frowned, but no one spoke.
Qin Xiao was surprised. If even Zhao Yi called him Young Master, then who exactly is this person?
If it was an ordinary person being this disrespectful, then there was no need for Yuwen Chengchao to take any action. Zhao Yi and the others would be beating him up already. With Yuwen Chengchao backing them up, there shouldn’t be many people that even they wouldn’t dare to touch.
However, at the moment, Pang Yu and everyone else were just sitting there, letting the Young Master do whatever he wanted.
“Eldest Son, here, I’ll pour you some wine.” The Young Master slowly walked up to Yuwen Chengchao’s side and sat down.
Pang Yu could tell what Qin Xiao was thinking. He leaned close to his ear and whispered, “This is the young master of Granduncle Meng’s family, Meng Buju.”
Oh, so it’s the son of Granduncle Meng. That makes sense why Pang Yu and the others didn’t dare to do anything.
Granduncle Meng was very important to the Marquess. The horse farm and many other things were all given to him. He was easily one of the most powerful people in all of Yuwen County.
Although Yuwen Chengchao couldn’t tolerate such disrespect like his, he was, after all, a person who thinks before acting. Although this Young Master was being rude and disrespectful, he was the son of Granduncle Meng. He had to bear it.
Meng Buju stretched his neck over to look at Yuwen Chengchao’s wine bowl and then laughed at Yuwen Chengchao. “Wow, you have no wine left.” He then pointed towards Qin Xiao. “You, pour some wine for the Eldest Son. What are you waiting for?”
Qin Xiao smiled, picked up the wine jar, and filled up the bowl for Yuwen Chengchao.
“Here, Eldest Son, we haven’t drunk together like this for quite some days.” Meng Buju shook his head. “Ah, whatever. Ever since you left the manor, we haven’t eaten at the same table yet. We have to make up for it today.”
Yuwen Chengchao did not reach forward to get the wine bowl. He looked at Meng Buju and asked, “Why are we drinking again?”
“Huh?” Meng Buju was a bit surprised. He scratched his head. “Hmm, let me thinking about it.”
Suddenly, there was a voice from outside. “Brother Meng, why did you run away? Were we not fun enough? You promised us that the one who drinks the most wine gets to sleep with the cute girls from the Western Region. We’re all waiting, you can’t leave like this.” Along with the voice came five or six childe. Zhao Yi quickly walked up and blocked their way. “What do you guys want? The Eldest Son is here, show some respect.”
“Go away!” Meng Buju looked up and said angrily,
“These are all my brothers, who dares to stop my brothers from coming?”
Zhao Yi was taken back, as one of the people who came in pushed Zhao Yi away. They swayed forward and shoved Pang Yu and the others away too. Qin Xiao also stood up and walked to the side of the room.
“Why are you drinking with these servants of yours?” Meng Buju smiled. “Eldest Son, these brothers of mine all come from rich and powerful families. Which is why they have the right to drink with you.” He looked at the people who just came in and yelled loudly, “Am I right?”
“Right!” They laughed and replied loudly, “Drinking with servants is no fun. They shouldn’t even be allowed on the table.”
Meng Buju raised his wine cup and smile., “Eldest Son, let’s have a drink.”
Yuwen Chengchao calmly looked up and asked softly, “Why do I have to drink with you?”
“Oh!” Meng Buju thought for a while and smiled. “I remember now, I’m here to congratulate you! Isn’t the Second Son going to be married to the young lady of the Tan Family? As the older brother of the Second Son, you must be very happy too! I’m here to congratulate the two of you!”
As soon as he said this, Yuwen Chengchao’s calm face showed a flicker of anger. It was obvious he had been angry this whole time, he was just trying to cover it up. Pang Yu and everyone else’s faces also changed dramatically.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao was a bit confused again, thinking that Miss Tan must be from a wealthy family as well. Isn’t the Second Son being married a good thing? Why would a calm person like Pang Yu’s face suddenly change like that upon hearing this?
“Yeah, congratulations!” One of the childe who entered laughed. “The Tan Family is one of the most well known in all of Yuwen County. I heard that Miss Tan looks incredibly beautiful and is extremely smart too. Perfect match for the Second Son.”
Meng Buju also laughed. “I knew it. After all, Miss Tan would be the wife of the Yuwen Family. Although the marriage agreement between Miss Tan and the Eldest Son was canceled, the Second Son is also part of the Yuwen Family. Although she’s not being married to the Eldest Son anymore, she’s still now a member of the Yuwen Family.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao understood why Pang Yu’s face would change like that.
According to Meng Buju, it seemed that Miss Tan was planned to be married to Yuwen Chengchao. But for some reason, it was canceled, and now she was about to be married to the Second Son of the Yuwen Family.
For Yuwen Chengchao, this was certainly very unfortunate and shameful.
Any man couldn’t stand such humiliation, let alone the Eldest Son of the Yuwen Family.
However, Yuwen Chengchao suddenly smiled and looked at Meng Buju. “Is Young Master full?” He looked at everyone else. “Are you guys full?”
Everyone was confused when Yuwen Chengchao asked this. Some were even surprised as they wondered what to say. Meng Buju smiled. “Of course we’re full. But we still want to drink more.”
“I’m glad you’re full.” Yuwen Chengchao stood up and cracked his neck. He looked at Ning Zhifeng and yelled, “Close the door and guard it! Kick back anyone who tries to leave.” Then he looked at Pang Yu and all his other brothers. “I’m very angry today, and I was just wondering what to do with it. Young Master here is being nice today. Listen up, beat up everyone who just came in and punch all the food they just ate out of their stomachs.”
After saying that, he raised his foot and wicked Meng Buju’s head without hesitating.
Pang Yu and the others were surprised at first. But after a split of a second, they also rushed up from the side of the room. Zhao Yi and Da Peng were filled with anger too. Now that the Eldest Son gave the order, they didn’t care about anything anymore. Da Peng picked up a porcelain jar used for decoration on the side and slammed it on the head of one of the childe.
Qin Xiao was already disguised by the arrogant attitude of Meng Buju and the others as well. Right now as he watched the chaotic scene in front of him, he couldn’t stand there and did nothing. After all, the Eldest Son treated him very well.
The chaotic scene in the room was very exciting. Filled with excitement, Qin Xiao rolled up his sleeves and rushed into the fight as well. Without caring who it was, he grabbed a person and showered a storm of fists onto that guy’s face.
All the men under Yuwen Chengchao’s hands were well-trained soldiers. Meng Buju and the other spoiled childe stood no chance against them.
Yuwen Chengchao did not care about anyone else. He stared at Meng Buju, who was curled up on the floor like a dog trying to find a place to hide. He repeatedly kicked him showing no mercy at all. Before long, Meng Buju’s head was already full of blood. The blood coming from his head covered his face. “Ahh, I can’t see! Stop!”
The others were also on the ground yelling for mercy.
However, without Yuwen Chengchao’s orders, his men would definitely not stop.
Qin Xiao had already landed so many punches that the person was almost unconscious. With a few more and that person would be as good as dead. After more than twenty punches already, that person even lost the strength to yell in pain. Qin Xiao was worried if he accidentally killed him. Beating people up was one matter, killing, was different. He threw that person onto the floor and looked around. A person’s leg happened to appear in front of him from under the table. He quickly grabbed the person out, sat on him, grabbed an empty wine jar from the table, and slammed it onto the person’s head.
The room was a total mess. Ning Zhifeng leaned against the door. Yuwen Chengchao ordered him to guard the door, so he didn’t dare to leave his position. While watching Qin Xiao and the others beating people up with satisfying smiles across their faces, Ning Zhifeng scratched his knuckles. He was desperate to enjoy the fun with everyone else too. Just as he was thinking, one of them suddenly rushed toward him trying to leave the room. Ning Zhifeng smiled in joy and kicked that person hard on the stomach. “Ouch!” With a yell, the person covered his stomach and fell onto the floor. Ning Zhifeng grabbed him by the collar and punched him hard several times. Then he yelled toward Pang Yu, “Bring some more here! Bring some more!”
But everyone was having so much fun that none of them paid attention to Ning Zhifeng. Whenever anyone even tried to run toward the door, someone else would drag him back in. Ning Zhifeng shook his head. He had no other choice but to grab that unfortunate person beside him and started to beat him up with everything he had.
Pang Yu and the others mostly came from poor family backgrounds. They were disgusted by these spoiled and disrespectful childe. Plus when they just came in, they were calling him and the other servants. Now that the Eldest Son gave the order, it was a perfect chance to release some of their anger.
However, including Qin Xiao, everyone knew they shouldn’t go too far. All they had to do was make them feel pain. The worst that they would do was probably make them unable to walk for a few weeks or months. They wouldn’t end up killing them.
Bam!
Among the screams and begs for mercy, the door behind Ning Zhifeng was suddenly kicked open from the outside. Such suddenness surprised everyone. They all looked toward the door.
