Chapter 35 Fight Back
The moment Sheng Yuan witnessed this scene, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited. Because he was already close to Zhao Qiang, he raised his fist without hesitation and hit Zhao Qiang's stomach like lightning.
The power of this punch caught Zhao Qiang off guard. He felt a sharp pain and subconsciously covered his stomach tightly with both hands. His body fell forward uncontrollably and he finally knelt on his knees, groaning in pain.
However, Sheng Yuan's anger did not subside. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhao Qiang's collar, half-lifting him up.
Sheng Yuan mercilessly punched Zhao Qiang in the face several times. Each punch was filled with Sheng Yuan's anger and strength, causing Zhao Qiang's face to instantly become red and swollen, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
After the fight, Sheng Yuan took a breath and turned his gaze to Wei Yang standing beside him. Although his voice was a little hoarse, it was full of encouragement, "Come on, don't be afraid, fight back!"
Wei Yang hesitated when he heard Sheng Yuan's words. Although he was the prince of Wei State, he was an unpopular prince. Wei Yang, who had been suppressed for a long time, was both afraid and expectant at the same time.
The reason why Wei Yang felt scared was that he had never had the experience of hitting anyone. On weekdays, he was always bullied and beaten by Zhao Qiang. That fear had been deeply imprinted in his bones. When he thought about hitting others, Wei Yang's heart was filled with anxiety and resistance.
Looking at the unconscious Zhao Qiang in front of him, Wei Yang felt that this was his only chance to take revenge on Zhao Qiang. How could Wei Yang not hate him and look forward to him after being beaten by Zhao Qiang so many times?
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, you can fight back without worry." Sheng Yuan seemed to see Wei Yang's hesitation and encouraged him again.
Wei Yang took a deep breath. In order to make it easier for Wei Yang to take action, Sheng Yuan turned Zhao Qiang around and placed him in front of Wei Yang.
Wei Yang looked at the disgusting face and raised his hand to slap Zhao Qiang in the face, but Wei Yang was too scared and the slap was not heavy. Wei Yang felt a little regretful.
"Come again." Sheng Yuan looked at Wei Yang and said gently and firmly.
With the experience from the first time, the second fight went much more smoothly. He slapped him one after another. Not satisfied with the beating, he kicked him a few more times.
As Wei Yang was beaten, tears welled up in his eyes. The torture he had endured in the Prime Minister's Mansion over the past four years finally found a place to vent. He hated the unfairness of his fate, he hated everything he had experienced, and he also hated his own incompetence.
Exhausted, Wei Yang squatted on the ground, covering his face and crying. Sheng Yuan saw Wei Yang's sadness. Although he knew that the two of them should not have any contact now, seeing his beloved being fragile and helpless, Sheng Yuan had already lost his mind.
Sheng Yuan threw Zhao Qiang aside, pulled Wei Yang up and hugged him in his arms, gently stroking his back and comforting him softly, "Don't cry."
Shengxia covered his mouth and watched the whole process in shock. When he saw the two people hugging each other, his reason told him that he should speak out to stop them, but his emotions told him that he should leave.
Shengxia looked down at Zhao Qiang lying on the ground, grabbed the back of Zhao Qiang's collar, and dragged Zhao Qiang towards the backyard. Alas, if he was beaten in his house, there must be a legitimate reason.
Shengxia waited for half an incense stick of time and felt that it was about time, so she dragged Zhao Qiang towards the front yard. When passing by the place they had just been, Shengxia did not see Sheng Yuan and Wei Yang.
Shengxia knew that she couldn't delay any longer, so she picked up Zhao Qiang and threw him into the front hall. This action instantly quieted the entire wedding banquet.
Until someone exclaimed loudly, "Isn't this the Second Young Master Zhao? What happened?"
Shengxia had a gloomy face and didn't say anything. The person who had just exclaimed was also silent at this moment, not daring to speak.
Xie Zhi rushed over upon hearing the noise, and seeing Zhao Qiang lying motionless on the ground, he shouted, "Who is it? Stand up." Xie Zhi was the husband of Prime Minister Zhao, and was furious when he saw his second son being beaten.
"It's me." Shengxia folded her arms and looked down at Xie Zhi.
"You, why did you hit my son? I will tell His Majesty and let him punish you." Xie Zhi wanted to rush up and fight with Sheng Xia, but when he saw the murderous aura around Sheng Xia, Xie Zhi shrank back.
"Go ahead and sue me. I'm afraid you won't." Shengxia said nonchalantly.
"What do you mean?" Xie Zhi spoke with some lack of confidence at this time.
"What I mean is, on the day of this general's wedding, your son broke into the backyard with the intention of molesting this general. This is a marriage granted by His Majesty. He dared to make trouble at the wedding, which means he does not take His Majesty seriously. Beating him is the least of his punishment." Shengxia said calmly.
"You're talking nonsense. My son is not that kind of person." Xie Zhi immediately retorted.
"Oh, really? Why don't we go confront His Majesty and see if I'm talking nonsense." Shengxia was sure that Zhao Qiang was a good-for-nothing and must have done a lot of bad things in his daily life. He didn't believe that Xie Zhi didn't know.
Xie Zhi naturally knew his son's character and was undecided for the time being. If the matter really came to the attention of His Majesty, if it was true, the master would surely be reprimanded. Even if it was false, based on Shengxia's current achievements, His Majesty would surely favor Shengxia.
Xie Zhi's heart was filled with hatred, but he still had to pretend to be the master of a noble family. "Maybe Qiang'er drank too much and mistook General Xie for the Third Prince. I apologize to General Sheng on my son's behalf."
"What are you waiting for? Apologize." Shengxia saw that Xie Zhi didn't say anything after she finished speaking, and she didn't tolerate it at all.
Xie Zhi was choked by Shengxia's words. Normally, wealthy families would stop at that point. He must have been staying at the border for too long and has become so uncultured.
Xie Zhi, who was in a dilemma, looked at Sheng Xia and said, "I'm sorry, General Sheng."
Later, when Shengxia Yu Guangzhong saw Wei Yang looking flustered and walking to the back of the crowd with unsteady steps, he stopped bothering Xie Zhi.
"Okay, then Mr. Zhao, take the person away."
"Thank you very much, General Sheng." Xie Zhi said almost gritting his teeth.
"Come here, help Mr. Zhao lift the person onto the carriage." Shengxia ordered.
Xie Zhi wiped her tears and looked at Zhao Qiang with heartache. Then she saw Wei Yang in the crowd. She wanted to scold Wei Yang for not keeping an eye on Zhao Qiang, but there were people everywhere around her, so Xie Zhi could only suppress her impulse.
Wei Yang also followed him very tactfully. When the invitation was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Quan had no intention of coming in person, so Xie Zhilai felt that he was giving enough face.
Zhao Qiang was present at the time and also wanted to go. Xie Zhi had no choice but to agree. She called Wei Yang just to keep an eye on Zhao Qiang. He was such a waste that he couldn't even keep an eye on his own husband. Xie Zhi blamed all the mistakes on Wei Yang.
