Chapter 341 Ignore
"You didn't offend anyone!" Madam Ye questioned, "Let me ask you, wasn't it you who beat our Han'er a few days ago?"
Ordinary people wouldn't dare to go against the Prime Minister's residence, and Ye Linghan had been recuperating at home for the past two months without leaving the house, let alone provoking anyone else.
If we're talking about recent conflicts, it's the one that escalated to the point of involving the authorities.
This time, it wasn't just Ye Linghan who was beaten; the other three young masters who were beaten with him before also suffered the same fate. Isn't this a clear indication that the finger is pointing at Long Chuqing?
Only Long Chuqing had grudges against all four of them at the same time, and only she dared to be so bold as to openly beat up the family members of officials.
Therefore, Madam Ye has reason to suspect that this was also the work of Long Chuqing, but she lacks conclusive evidence.
However, even without evidence, it wouldn't be difficult for their Prime Minister's residence to deal with a country girl. She refused to believe that they couldn't do anything to her.
Madam Ye had looked around and found that Prince Qin had not come with her, which was why she dared to be so arrogant in causing trouble for Long Chuqing.
Without the King of Qin to step in, let's see how arrogant and smug she can be. Whether it's a new debt or an old one, it's a good day to settle it all.
"What, your son got beaten up again?" Long Chuqing asked back. "No wonder, your son has done so many despicable things, isn't it normal for enemies to come knocking on your door? If you have to blame someone, you can only blame yourselves for not raising him properly."
"I wonder which hero stepped in this time. I really want to send them a banner."
To the Ye family, her remarks were an attempt to verbally humiliate them and gloat over their misfortune.
"You, you..." This time it was Madam Ye's turn to be furious. She pointed at Long Chuqing. "Let's see how long you can be so arrogant."
Madam Ye remained aloof throughout: This girl's mouth is incredibly sharp; she doesn't use any vulgar language, yet every word she utters is piercing to the heart.
Although it felt satisfying to hear, she was, after all, a member of the Ye family. If she remained neutral, people would inevitably say she wasn't taking sides.
"Sister-in-law, this girl is all talk and no action. Don't let her upset you, or you'll hurt yourself and it won't be worth it."
Madam Ye calmed the pent-up anger in her chest and realized that Madam Ye's words made sense. She hadn't even taught her a lesson yet! On the contrary, she and her mother were both angered by her.
Old Madam Ye kept staring at Long Chuqing with a sharp gaze. She felt that the woman in front of her had not only challenged her authority, but also the status of their Prime Minister's residence.
After all, that was the Prime Minister's residence; how could they tolerate a wild girl spouting nonsense here?
"What are you standing there for?" Old Madam Ye shouted angrily, "Take her down!"
"Grandmother, wait a moment," Ye Lingwei said again, trying to stop her.
"Wei'er, what do you mean by this?" Old Madam Ye narrowed her eyes slightly, somewhat displeased.
Ye Lingwei gripped Old Madam Ye's arm tightly and whispered, "Grandmother, you must think this over! This is the square in front of the temple, a sacred Buddhist site. It's not appropriate to resort to violence here. If the Bodhisattva finds fault with us, all the blessings you've prayed for for my elder brother these past two days will be for naught."
Ye Lingwei continued, "Grandmother, more than two months have passed since what happened before, and this time, the injury to my elder brother cannot be proven to be the work of Miss Long. Why don't we just let it go? There are so many people watching! If word gets out that so many members of our Ye family bullied a young lady, it will inevitably damage the reputation of our Ye family."
"Besides, Prince Qin is also behind Miss Long. We don't know if he came with us today. If he finds out that our Ye family is bullying her, and he investigates afterward..."
Old Madam Ye looked at Ye Lingwei, a hint of something unreadable in her eyes.
After hearing Ye Lingwei's words, she did waver a little. She had been a Buddhist for many years and had a deep reverence for Buddhist places. It was indeed inappropriate to act violently under the watchful eyes of the Bodhisattva.
But if we just let her go, wouldn't all those imposing and accusatory actions just now become a joke?
We absolutely cannot let her leave so easily; if word gets out, what will become of the Ye family's reputation?
We must teach her a little lesson, no matter what.
Madam Ye looked at Long Chuqing, her chin slightly raised, with an air of superiority: "If you kneel down and kowtow a few times, and admit your mistakes, I will let you leave safely today."
"Ha, kneel and kowtow? This old woman, dreaming in broad daylight!" Fei Feng scoffed. "She's got a big face, what a load of crap!"
Feng Yu: "Enough with the nonsense. If you're going to fight, just do it already. Stop with the whining."
Long Chuqing turned to look at the palace gate ahead: Xiao Han and the others should be coming out soon!
She ignored Madam Ye and her entourage, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the main hall.
He then spoke to Fei Feng and Feng Yu telepathically, saying, "Really, why am I wasting so much breath arguing with them here?"
Fei Feng: "Yeah, we can't be bothered with these unreasonable people!"
Long Chuqing ignored them and turned away gracefully, leaving the group bewildered in the wind.
The veins on Old Madam Ye's hand, gripping her cane tightly, bulged, her heart heaving violently with anger, and her somewhat sagging face trembled slightly.
That brat is so arrogant, daring to completely ignore her.
"Halt!" Old Madam Ye roared, slamming her cane down heavily on the ground again. "Did I give you permission to leave?"
Long Chuqing treated them as if they were invisible, ignoring their angry glares and unable to hear her suppressed roars. She walked calmly toward the palace gate without any intention of stopping.
“A little bit…”
Fei Feng's illusory figure made a face at them.
Ye Lingya watched Long Chuqing's leisurely departing figure and thought to herself: She... just left like that? She hadn't even seen her make a fool of herself yet!
She then turned to look at Old Madam Ye, who was standing to the side, and saw that she was furious. She had wanted to say something to provoke Old Madam Ye into sending someone to bring Long Chuqing back, but she was intimidated by her angry appearance.
Grandma looks terrifying when she's angry; it's best not to provoke her right now.
"Mother, are you just going to let her go like this?" Madam Ye asked.
Of course, we can't let her leave like that. That damned girl not only provoked me time and time again, but now she's ignoring me in front of so many people, making me lose face in front of so many servants.
"Someone, go and bring her back to me."
"Yes..." Seven or eight guards rushed towards Long Chuqing.
Ye Lingwei: "Grandma."
Old Madam Ye glared at her, and she dared not say another word.
From the conversation just now, the guards of the Ye family had learned that their young master was injured by this woman, and guessed that she was probably skilled in martial arts.
Moreover, judging from her behavior just now, she was neither afraid of the old lady nor the Prime Minister's residence, and of course, she would not obediently let them escort her back.
So, in order to boost their morale and intimidate the enemy, they all drew their swords and charged at her.
