"What are you saying? Second Uncle was just angry and said some hurtful things. Why are you making him angry like this?"

The speaker was Ouyang Feng, the nephew of the Ouyang family head.

"Feng'er, there's no need to say anything more to him." The Ouyang family head coldly flicked his sleeves and left.

Kneeling on the ground, Ouyang Chen slumped down, his hands hanging limply. "Father, won't you even give me one last chance?"

"Chen'er, your father is just angry. Don't take it to heart. Come on, get up." Madam Ouyang was heartbroken. Her eldest son was in such a state, and she couldn't have felt any pain in her heart.

Although the eldest son's injury was inextricably linked to the younger son, both sons are equally dear to him.

“Mother, are you blaming me too? Yes, you should blame me.” Ouyang Chen suddenly looked up and said earnestly, “Mother, can you believe me just this once, just this once!”

"But..." Madam Ouyang thought of her eldest son's appearance; if outsiders saw him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Chen'er, your mother knows you want to save your elder brother, but it's not possible now." Madam Ouyang shook her head. "It's getting late, you should go back and rest. Your father will forget about this tomorrow. What grudge could you two possibly hold overnight?"

"Mother, please believe me just this once," Ouyang Chen pleaded, clenching his fists and clutching Madam Ouyang's sleeve.

But—Madam Ouyang still pried her hands off.

"Chen'er, your mother cannot agree to this."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Mother!"

Ouyang Chen slumped to the ground, scratching his head in frustration, "Why does nobody believe me?"

However... even if no one believes him, he will still give it a try.
