Just as a fight was about to break out, Granny Wang hurriedly came out. "Lu Ying, let Fourth Master in. Second Master, please invite Fourth Master in!"
At the Hu family residence, Lu Ying only carried out the orders of two people: Hu Mingmei and Granny Wang. Seeing Granny Wang rush out, Lu Ying stood aside and said in a deep voice, "Fourth Master, please!"
"You dog servants!" Hu Yikang shouted, straightened his collar, and said to his servants, "You lot, wait here for me." Then, he stormed inside.
Lu Ying quickly followed.
Hu Yikang walked all the way to Hu Mingmei's door, pushed it open, strode in, and loudly questioned, "Hu Mingmei, what do you mean?"
At that moment, Hu Mingmei was leaning against the bed reading a book. Although she was already dressed, her hair was still loose, giving her a delicate and feminine beauty, which made Hu Yikang deeply jealous.
Hu Mingmei's courtyard was the best, several times better than his and his older brother and sister's. Moreover, Hu Mingmei's appearance was also more outstanding than Hu Yikang's, which made Hu Yikang deeply jealous. Why? Why did Hu Mingmei monopolize all the good things?
The head of the household should be his grandfather and father, so why is Hu Mingmei monopolizing the best things in the family?
"Is something wrong, Fourth Brother?" Hu Mingmei first glanced at Lu Ying, who had followed him in, indicating to Lu Ying that he was alright before looking up at Hu Yikang. Compared to Hu Yikang's anger, Hu Mingmei didn't care at all.
This made it even more apparent that Hu Mingmei didn't take Hu Yikang seriously.
Sensing Hu Mingmei's disdain, Hu Yikang became even more out of control. "What do you mean? Why did you say that our Hu family wants you dead and that you will have no descendants?"
"Isn't that right?" Hu Mingmei chuckled, looking down at Hu Yikang, her red lips uttering a single sentence, "Which of you isn't thinking of seizing my Hu family's assets?"
"Don't forget!" Hu Yikang glared at Hu Mingmei, "We're also surnamed Hu!"
“You’re wrong, your surname is Huang!” Hu Mingmei shook her head and looked at Hu Yikang to correct him, “You are my wife’s grandson, and have nothing to do with our Hu family. As for you people, you’re just freeloaders!”
He's just a kept man.
Just seven words, yet they exploded in Hu Yikang's mind like a time bomb. All of Hu Yikang's rationality vanished without a trace because of this one sentence, and he lunged at Hu Mingmei.
“You’re right, you deserve to die. Once you’re dead, no one will remember this fact.”
Within a short distance of Kyoto, there are countless high-ranking officials and nobles, and numerous circles of high society. However, even though his family is already a royal merchant and extremely wealthy, he has never been able to befriend any rich and powerful young men, nor is he willing to.
Because none of them wanted to know him. When they mentioned Hu Yikang's name, they would always say that he was the grandson of a concubine, and that his grandfather had married into the family and even took a concubine, which made him look down on!
If his grandfather was guilty, then his grandmother was even more heinous, having seduced a married man, and a man who had married into the family. She was simply shameless and promiscuous!
Only when Hu Mingmei dies will no one remember this incident, and no one will look down on him anymore.
When Hu Yikang lunged at Hu Mingmei, Lu Ying grabbed Hu Mingmei and pulled her back.
"Second Master, what should we do?"
The compound was deep and secluded. Hu Yikang did not bring any servants when he entered, so Lu Ying did not need to be afraid of this so-called Fourth Master. She directly grabbed him and asked Hu Mingmei.
"Take him out and give him a beating!" Hu Mingmei said indifferently, not looking at Hu Yikang again.
"Hu Mingmei, you dare! My father will deal with you!" Hu Yikang was held by the neck by Lu Ying and couldn't move, so he could only bring up his father.
Lu Ying smiled and said, "Fourth Master, our Second Master is not in good health. You shouldn't have offended him." Lu Ying already deeply despised Hu Yikang. What's the use of bringing up his father now? The Second Master's courtyard is on the very edge of the Hu family compound, far away from all the Hu family members. By the time Old Master Hu and the Old Master Hu receive the news and rush over, he will have already beaten Hu Yikang up.
Lu Ying dragged Hu Yikang outside and began to beat his buttocks hard in the yard. Hu Yikang, with his delicate skin, was being beaten for the first time in his life and immediately let out a pig-like scream.
Hu Yikang's servant, who was waiting outside, immediately sensed something was wrong upon hearing the voice. "Something's wrong! Fourth Master is in trouble!"
Then, one person went to find the master and the old master, while the rest rushed in. The guards didn't stop them and let them walk in unimpeded.
"Fourth Master!" As soon as he entered, he saw Hu Yikang lying face down on the bench. Lu Ying was holding a large board and hitting Hu Yikang's buttocks hard. Hu Yikang's buttocks were already torn and bleeding, and he had already passed out.
Hu Mingmei came out of the room, looked at the people below, and gestured to Lu Ying not to stop.
“Keep fighting until the master and the old master arrive. I want to see how they teach their grandson and son.”
"Kang'er!" Just as Lu Ying finished beating Hu Yikang and was about to rest, Old Master Hu and Master Hu arrived, along with Hu Yikang's mother, Madam Sun. Madam Sun rushed in and saw her youngest son lying on the bench, his clothes stained with blood, his life hanging in the balance. She felt as if the sky had fallen, and she swayed for a moment before being supported by a maid and staggering over to him.
Tears welled up in her eyes. "Kang'er, what's wrong? Kang'er."
