Chapter 101 Lu Bohong, crawl between my legs!
Crouching?
Lu Bohong's eyes were bloodshot, and his jaw was clenched so tightly it was making a grinding sound.
How could he kneel before such a beast, worse than a pig or a dog?
Lu Zhaoruo stepped forward, firmly shielding her brother behind her, and faced Li Yanei directly, saying coldly, "Li Yanei, don't push your luck! It was clearly you who insulted me first, and my brother only acted out of protectiveness towards his sister. Everyone here can testify to that!"
"Testify? Who? Who wants to testify?"
Young Master Li suddenly swept his gaze across the crowd, his eyes fierce. "All of you, step forward and let me see!"
The crowd, which had been whispering, fell silent instantly, lowering their heads and shrinking back in fear.
They were just ordinary people, while the person in front of them was the son of the county magistrate, who was practically a little emperor in Yongning County. They dared not provoke him.
Lu Zhaoruo looked around and felt a wave of helplessness as she saw the evasive gazes around her.
At this moment.
Young Master Li waved his hand menacingly: "What are you all standing there for! Seize him!"
The burly servants behind him immediately pounced forward like wolves, and in a few quick moves they pinned Lu Bohong and Lu Zhaoruo down, making them unable to move.
Having already impulsively struck Li Yanei, Lu Bohong naturally wouldn't easily retaliate now.
He was afraid of implicating his younger sister!
Li Yanei spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, glaring at Lu Bohong with a sinister look: "I'll ask you one last time, are you going to crawl or not?"
Even with his arms tied behind his back, Lu Bohong still held his head high, his bloodshot eyes fixed on him, and he squeezed out a voice through gritted teeth: "You bullied me by relying on your power, and insulted my little sister first... I did nothing wrong, why should I crawl into this!"
"No mistake?"
Young Master Li chuckled and gave a wink.
The two servants holding Lu Bohong immediately exerted all their strength to press him down, trying to force him to kneel on the ground.
But Lu Bohong's spine was straight as a rock, like an iron pillar nailed to the ground, and he didn't budge an inch!
Seeing this, Li Yanei became enraged and stepped forward himself, raising his foot to kick Lu Bohong hard in the back of the knee!
One kick! Two kicks! Three kicks!
He mustered all his strength and kicked more than a dozen times in a row, the soles of his shoes slamming heavily onto his knuckles.
Lu Bohong still refused to bend his knees, his lips pressed into a pale line, and he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Lu Zhaoruo felt as if her heart was being torn apart, tears streaming down her face. She struggled and cried out, "Li Xiu! Stop! Don't kick me anymore!"
Li Yanei was panting heavily, and his ankles were numb from the shock.
He stopped, panting heavily, and said to Lu Zhaoruo in a sinister tone, "Make your brother kneel down and crawl through, and I'll spare his leg!"
Even though Lu Bohong's face was pale from the pain, he still looked defiant: "I, Lu Bohong, am a man of integrity, how could I possibly crawl between the legs of a scoundrel like you?"
"Good! What a tough nut to crack!"
Li Yanei grinned maliciously, completely losing his patience.
He snatched a sturdy wooden stick from the servant beside him, swung it around, and smashed it hard into Lu Bohong's knee!
"Hmm!"
A muffled thud.
Lu Zhaoruo watched helplessly as the wooden stick came crashing down, struggling and crying out like a madwoman, "Stop! Li Xiu, stop!" But the servants behind her held her arms tightly, preventing her from moving.
Li Yanei grinned and gave Lu Bohong's knee another slap.
The onlookers gasped in shock.
Lu Zhaoruo wept uncontrollably as she watched her brother being humiliated. Her voice was hoarse from crying: "Li Xiu! Master Gu of Jizhou City and General Xiao of the Linhai Army are both my close friends! You have insulted my brother and me like this today. Aren't you afraid that one day they will raze your county government to the ground and seek justice for us?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yanei felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "What, you really think you've climbed the social ladder? You're just a lowly merchant's daughter, do you think you're worthy of having those big shots stand up for you?"
"Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake! Xiao Yeming, a mere military officer, dares to break ties with my father, a proper official of the imperial court, for your sake? Keep dreaming!"
He scanned her up and down, his gaze sticky and malicious: "Besides... who knows what shady methods you used to climb up those connections? Could it be that you used your face to please people in bed, which is how they backed you up when you sued your husband's family?"
He scoffed, "She was just a used woman to begin with."
"But you don't even know your place! What kind of person are they? They're just using you as a novelty, and they'll throw you away when they're tired of you! In the end, you won't even be as good as a prostitute."
Li Nian'er scoffed, "A fifth-rank martial artist? A merchant reeking of money? Let alone whether they would support a lowly commoner like you, even if they did come, so what? Do you know who owns the precious horse you startled? It belongs to the eldest son of Lord Meng, a fourth-rank official and the Director of the Maritime Trade Office—Young Master Meng Xi!"
"Brother Meng personally gave me permission to ride this!"
Li Yanei swung the wooden stick and slammed it hard into Lu Bohong's knee once again!
Lu Bohong swayed violently, his face instantly turning ashen, and cold sweat poured down his face.
But he clenched his teeth, even biting his tongue until it bled, and swallowed the painful groan back down. His spine remained straight, without the slightest bend.
"Brother..."
Lu Zhaoruo cried until she could hardly breathe, her heart breaking as if it were being torn apart.
She struggled desperately, but was held down tightly, and could only watch helplessly as tears blurred her vision.
Lu Bohong turned his head with difficulty and even managed to force a comforting smile at his sister, despite a trickle of bright red blood spilling from his lips: "Little sister... don't cry... your brother isn't in pain... your brother won't kneel."
"You won't kneel? Let's see how long you can stay hard!"
Li Yanei's face was contorted as he swung his stick down again with tremendous force, shouting, "I'll break your legs today, and beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy!"
"Stop hitting me! Please...stop hitting me..."
Lu Zhaoru pleaded in anguish.
Seeing her brother's pale face and the falling wooden stick, her last line of defense finally collapsed completely.
She buckled her knees and knelt heavily on the cold, hard flagstone: "I'll kneel... I'll crawl... I beg you, Young Master Li, to spare my brother..."
Li Nian'er, standing to the side, seemed to have seen the biggest joke in the world. She suddenly covered her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled softly. She tugged at Li Yanei's sleeve and shrieked, "Brother, did you hear that? This slut actually said she'd crawl between your legs for her brother? Hahaha..."
Upon hearing his younger sister's desperate pleas, Lu Bohong felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and he cried out in a hoarse voice, "Little sister! No!!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yanei finally stopped holding the wooden stick, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Oh? To crawl for your brother? That's not impossible... Haha!"
His tone was extremely flippant.
Lu Bohong suddenly broke free from the restraints, staggered to Lu Zhaoruo's side, and helped her up from the ground.
Tears streamed down his face, his voice trembling violently with pain and guilt: "Little sister... it was your brother's fault! I didn't listen to your advice, I was too impulsive, and that's why you suffered this humiliation... But even if I die, I will never let you suffer this disgrace in my place!"
He suddenly turned to Li Yanei: "I'll crawl! It was I who offended you, Yanei! I will take full responsibility for all the blame!"
After saying that, he pushed his sister away and slammed his knee heavily on the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Li Yanei spread his legs exaggeratedly, lifted the hem of his brocade robe, and laughed loudly: "Come on! Crawl! Crawl into me as neatly as possible! If you crawl in comfortably, I'll do you a good deed today and let you go!"
