“The evidence is conclusive. Are you saying that the Emperor also wronged your family?” a scholar retorted.
"You...you all...anyway, my father didn't do any of these things, he's innocent." Yu Rong was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Your father killed my son and dares to claim innocence? Now you dare to show your face in front of me? I'll beat you to death!" a woman said angrily, rolling up her sleeves and getting ready to come over.
"Yes, kill them!" the onlookers jeered.
"Kill them."
"......"
The victims' families rolled up their sleeves and came over to beat people up. They outnumbered the people and were surrounded, so there was no way for them to escape.
Those people punched and kicked him, hitting him hard, and he groaned in pain, feeling as if his bones were broken.
Shen Ye shielded Yu Rong beneath him, enduring the beating from the crowd himself. Yu Rong cried out in his arms, "Brother, why didn't you fight back?"
“It’s alright. If we resist, it will only incite public anger, and then things will be even worse. Two fists can’t fight four hands, and we will be the ones who suffer. If we don’t fight back, they will calm down after they’ve had their fill.”
Shen Ye really wanted to fight back, but he didn't know any martial arts at all, so how could he fight back?
Sure enough, the women stopped hitting each other after a while. "Pah, hitting you would only dirty my hands, you dead homosexual!"
"A homosexual? The young master of the Yu family is a homosexual? Hahahaha~~!"
"Look at him, he was born to be abused. Heaven has eyes, letting the Yu family produce a homosexual."
Some people who didn't know the situation twitched their eyebrows and looked at Shen Ye with even more disgust.
Homosexuality is hard to accept, not only in ancient times but also in modern times. Just thinking about two grown men together gives me goosebumps.
Yu Rong wanted to speak up for her brother, but Shen Ye covered her mouth and whispered, "Don't say anything, there's nothing to say to them."
The claim that the original owner had homosexual tendencies was just something people said haphazardly. The original owner looked so delicate and weak, not like a grown man at all, hence the reputation of having homosexual tendencies.
Someone else said to the scholar, "Brother Jiang, you'd better stay away from this madman, otherwise..."
The last few words weren't spoken, but it's not hard to guess what unpleasant things they were saying.
Shen Ye felt slightly annoyed, saying it was as if they had witnessed it themselves!
Upon hearing this, the men who had just hit Chen Ye wiped their hands in disgust, as if they had touched something disgusting.
Shen Ye helped Yu Rong to her shaky feet. His back ached terribly, all thanks to those people. As he approached, people made way for him, as if afraid of soiling themselves. He stepped out of the crowd and turned back to say, "You're all overthinking things. Even if I like men, I don't like just any man, and I certainly wouldn't look at men like you with your filthy hearts."
Shen Ye is deliberately trying to disgust these people. If he can't beat them in a fight, can't he at least outwit them with words?
Sure enough, these people turned pale with anger, and each of them rolled up their sleeves, looking like they were about to start a fight.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ye hid behind a masked man who had been watching the show the whole time. "Hey, what kind of skill is it for you to gang up on the weak? Besides, I'm just telling the truth. I just can't stand men like you."
"What kind of man would you be interested in?" someone asked.
"Hmm, at least he has to be handsome, right? For example, I like the guy in front of me. Look at him, how handsome and dashing he is. You people can't even compare to one of his fingers."
