"You mean this person is the one who lured the bear here before?"
Ah Yue nodded honestly, then quietly added, "And he was beaten black and blue, stripped naked, and thrown out onto the street!"
Images flashed through Zhen Wanwan's mind, but she didn't know which hero had done it.
She was still upset about being tricked and was seething with anger, but in order to achieve her great goals, she had to turn enmity into friendship.
Now that Yu Cheng has been beaten up, it's a way of venting their anger.
"To be honest, I feel much better knowing that he was the one who got beaten up."
A-Yue nodded in agreement and chimed in with a couple of words.
When the two weren't paying attention, Zhu Yuan's lips curled up slightly.
Meanwhile, after Yu Cheng was taken back to the Yu family, people in every corner of Mingzhou Prefecture were talking about it.
This included the servants of the Yu family.
Madam Yu hurriedly led Yu Lingling to the front yard. On the way, she overheard the whispers of the maids and servants, which made her hands tremble with anger.
"You dare to discuss the master's affairs? Guards, tell the steward to sell them all off!"
Madam Yu was so angry that she shouted and ordered the maid to be sold off.
The maids and servants were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, but Madam Yu had no time to care about them.
After he finished speaking, he led his men to the front yard.
Yu Cheng had already returned to his courtyard, and at the same time, Master Yu and Yu Xin also arrived.
"Brother, what's going on?"
Mr. Yu also frowned as he looked at the bruises on Yu Cheng's face.
Yu Cheng noticed that her father was somewhat agitated and did not respond to Yu Xin's words.
Instead, he said with a fierce expression, "Father! You must avenge me!"
Mr. Yu sighed. The Yu family was already in dire straits, so how could they possibly cause trouble at this critical juncture?
However, in order to appease Yu Cheng, he did not directly refuse.
"Cheng-ge'er, do you know who did this to you?"
By this time, Yu Cheng had calmed down and sat down to carefully recall the details of last night.
"They put a sack over my head, so I couldn't see what people were like, but I could still hear a few words."
"Those people said they were going to teach the Yu family a lesson for being disobedient... to make them submit... and finally said they would pick a suitable time to eliminate them completely..."
Upon hearing this, Yu's father and Yu Xin exchanged a glance, both seeing deep fear in each other's eyes.
Now, we don't even need to investigate who beat up Yu Cheng; we already know who they are.
Although the Yu family had many enemies, the only people who wanted them to submit were the Yang King's men.
The Mingzhou Prefecture has been taken over by the people sent by the Prince of Yang. The Yu family cannot leave, nor can they seek help from others.
They weren't against submitting to the Prince of Yang, but although the Yu family were merchants who valued profit, they would always be people of the Hua Dynasty.
How could they possibly be willing to be the lackeys of the Northern Hu people?
So, while Yu's father was joking around with the King of Yang's men, he asked his two sons to find someone they could rely on.
Unexpectedly, the Yang King's men were so fast. They had barely made a move when they sent someone to teach Yu Cheng a lesson.
Isn't this a blatant warning to them not to do anything underhanded?
The thought that his people were constantly under the surveillance of Prince Yang made Yu's father increasingly anxious.
All he wanted was to protect his family and safeguard the Yu family's century-old legacy.
He is now in a dilemma. Yang Wang's character is unreliable, and it is very likely that after gaining the support of the Yu family, he will turn on them and betray them.
Seeking refuge with them would be tantamount to prematurely ending one's life.
But if they don't seek refuge, who will save them now?
Yu Cheng waited and waited, but no one echoed his sentiments.
He said in a somewhat harsh tone, "Dad? Did you hear me? I've been bullied like this, shouldn't you find someone to avenge me?"
