Chapter 257 You are not strong, you are evil!
The old beggar was stunned; he hadn't expected him to make such a request.
However, seeing the heavy ten taels of silver in his hand, she couldn't resist the huge temptation in the end—moreover, judging from the young man's fine clothes, he didn't seem like a bad person. He had just helped her up after she fell, so he probably just wanted to tease her for fun.
So the old beggar said, "Okay, okay."
Yuwen Cheng laughed.
He is also quite good-looking. Although he is still young, he is handsome and has a youthful appearance. His smile makes him even more approachable.
But the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he punched the old beggar hard in the face with his fist, which was holding the silver.
"ah!"
Caught off guard, the old beggar was struck and fell backward to the ground, his nose immediately breaking and bleeding.
The old beggar was stunned. He never dreamed that Yuwen Cheng would hit him so hard. Before he could react, Yuwen Cheng had already stepped forward and kicked him in the chest. There was a muffled thud, and the old beggar's face turned pale. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
But Yuwen Cheng did not stop. Seeing the blood, he became excited and his eyes turned red. He picked up the old beggar's cane that had fallen to the ground and hit him hard on the head.
With several loud bangs, the old beggar was beaten until his head was bleeding profusely, and he rolled on the ground in agony.
He covered his head and desperately begged for mercy: "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"
Yuwen Cheng ignored him completely, and instead of listening, he hit him even harder, saying as he did so, "Why shouldn't I hit you? You take the young master's money, so you have to take the young master's beating. Don't be afraid, I still have money here, I'll give you back as much as I hit you, hehe!"
This scene left Shang Ruyi speechless.
Of course, she had long known that Yuwen Cheng was arrogant and domineering by nature. Sometimes, even as his sister-in-law, she couldn't control him. But no matter how arrogant and domineering he was, he was still a child. His arrogance and domineering only caused headaches for his family and he didn't do anything wrong.
But she never imagined that a young man from a wealthy and privileged background would actually beat someone up in the street.
Moreover, seeing how excited he became upon seeing blood, Shang Ruyi even felt that what she was seeing was not the third young master of the Yuwen family, not a boy, and even—not like a human being!
Seeing that the old beggar had been beaten to the point of near death and could no longer make a sound, Shang Ruyi was about to speak to stop him when a figure suddenly rushed forward beside her.
It's Yuwen Ye!
He walked up expressionlessly, said nothing, and kicked Yuwen Cheng hard in the waist.
"ah--!"
Yuwen Cheng screamed in agony as he was kicked several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.
Shang Ruyi was terrified and rushed forward, calling out, "Second Brother!"
Although she also wanted to teach Yuwen Cheng a lesson, she didn't expect Yuwen Ye to use such force, kicking him so hard that he flew through the air.
Yuwen Cheng was kicked and rolled on the ground several times, unable to move for a moment. He was about to burst into a tirade of curses when he looked up and saw Yuwen Ye. He was also surprised: "Second Brother?"
Yuwen Ye walked up to him with a grim face: "What are you doing?"
Yuwen Cheng, startled, glanced at Shang Ruyi, who had already walked up to him, and a smug sneer flashed in his eyes. He forced a smile through his pain and said, "Second brother, are you taking my sister-in-law out for a stroll? Perfect timing, the scenery at Tinghe Tower is the best, you should come and see it more often. But don't meddle in my business."
Yuwen Ye said, "I asked you what you're doing!"
As the two were talking, Shang Ruyi had already gone over and helped the old beggar up. The man had been beaten to the point of near death.
Yuwen Cheng snorted coldly before saying, "He didn't do anything. Let's teach him a lesson."
Yuwen Ye said, "Who do you think you are, daring to lecture others?"
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Cheng's expression changed.
He said matter-of-factly, "Why wouldn't it be my turn? The law of the jungle, that's the survival rule for everyone in the world, isn't that what you taught me, Second Brother?"
"..."
"I hit him, and he was hit by me. That's the law of the jungle."
"..."
"He deserved it!"
Upon hearing this absurd logic, Shang Ruyi was so angry that she couldn't speak.
This Yuwen Cheng is so cruel and willful at such a young age. He can beat and kick an old man without any remorse. If he grows up and gains power, what will become of him?
Especially since he was born into the Yuwen family!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a cold sweat break out all over her body.
Just then, Yuwen Cheng screamed again. Shang Ruyi turned her head and saw that Yuwen Ye had stepped on his neck, pressing him down as he tried to get up.
Yuwen Cheng's face was pressed to the ground, rubbing against the mud and moss, his eyes red.
Yuwen Ye looked down at him and said, word by word, "Listen to me clearly: the law of the jungle is not a reason for you to bully the weak!"
"..."
"If you bully him, he is weak, but you are not strong; you are evil!"
"..."
"You should also know how I always treat evil people."
Yuwen Cheng gritted his teeth, a fierce look slowly rising on his still somewhat childish face, and said, "So what if I'm killing a villain? If you want to kill me, then kill me!"
You think I wouldn't dare?
Yuwen Ye suddenly exerted force with his foot, and Yuwen Cheng's bones made a sound as if they were about to break. His face turned purple, his eyes bulged, and he couldn't say a word.
He actually wanted to—
Shang Ruyi was terrified and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away.
Yuwen Ye had put all his strength into his feet, and was caught off guard by her pull, causing him to stumble and almost fall. However, he also released his grip on her feet, and Yuwen Cheng took a deep breath, coughing as he did so.
Shang Ruyi quickly knelt down to support him: "Are you... are you alright?"
Although she disliked the child somewhat, she couldn't bear to see Yuwen Ye act so cruelly.
This is, after all, happening on the street. If a younger brother beats an old man in the street and an older brother kills his younger brother in the street, how can that be tolerated?
Yuwen Cheng coughed violently a few times, as if his lungs were about to explode. His eyes were bloodshot as he turned to look at Yuwen Ye, gritting his teeth, but he didn't say a word.
The intense ruthlessness in his eyes sent a chill down Shang Ruyi's spine.
Is he really just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy? Why does he have such malice, and such fearlessness in the face of death, showing no timidity even towards his older brother?
She thought for a moment, then patiently said, "Third brother, what your second brother said was for your own good. You can't be so reckless in your dealings with others."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Cheng's face darkened, and he suddenly sneered, saying to her, "Second sister-in-law, isn't it a bit too funny that you're saying this?"
Shang Ruyi's heart sank: "What...what do you mean?"
Yuwen Ye also looked up at him.
Yuwen Cheng sneered, "As my second brother's wife, you secretly came here to meet the emperor in secret. You are so unchaste and immoral. How dare you talk to me about the principles of being a decent human being?"
