Chapter 11: Chapter 11
TRANSLATED BY MYPEN_22
"Slap!" Another loud slap sounded, not to mention the few people in the garden, even Yan Shi did not expect Hua Xu to hit Hua Luyao.
"Brother, you, why did you hit me?" Although Hua Luyao also did not dare to believe it, her tone did not contain the kind of accusation she had just made towards Hua Ling.
"Apologise!" Hua Xu's eyes stared at her fiercely.
"What are you mad about, brother! Beating me for an outsider and asking me to apologize to a dead woman!" Hua Luyao was still stubborn as a dead duck, and her tone had gradually hardened by now.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, there is no outsider here!" Hua Xu's face turned red as he pointed his finger at Hua Ling, "He is our eldest brother, have you all forgotten that he is the eldest son of this family!"
Yan Shi rubbed his chin, this Hua family was more interesting than the others. He looked at Yang again, although Yang did not say anything, the two hands placed on Hua Wei's shoulders scratched fiercely, Hua Wei should be pained by the scratch and moved his chubby body uncomfortably.
"I'm beating you so that you won't disgrace our house publicly when you go out in the future," Hua Xu's eyes were fixed on Hua Luyao, her chest rising and falling, she was really angry, "Big brother's mother is the original spouse of father, even mother wouldn't dare to disrespect her. Who are you to talk nonsense here! Do you still have any respect for elders and children, or any filial piety in your eyes? If I don't beat you up today, I'm afraid you'll leave a reputation as a shrewish, unruly woman when you marry your in-laws!"
Hua Xu pressed on with every word, scaring even Hua Luyao into holding back her tears. She knew that even if her mother spoiled her, she was no better than a finger of his in front of her brother. Hua Xu was Yang's eldest son, all her hopes.
It was the first time that Hua Luyao had seen such a furious side of Hua Xu, and she was so frightened that she could not say anything.
Hua Ling gently tugged on Hua Xu's broad sleeve: "If she apologises, this will go away."
Hua Xu looked at Hua Luyao again with round eyes, and even though Hua Luyao was reluctant, she did not want to offend her own brother, so she could only whisper an apology.
Hua Xu nodded: "Go back to your room and copy the Women's Virtues and the Women's Commandments a hundred times each, and do not leave your room until you have finished."
Hua Luyao was very reluctant and looked at Yang, seeing that she had no intention of speaking up for her, she had to agree and turn around to go back to her room.
"Wait!" Hua Luyao did not expect Hua Ling to speak up for him, so she stopped and looked back at him with an expectant face. As long as he begged for mercy, Second Brother would certainly agree.
"Not only do you have to apologise to me, you also have to go to my mother's tablet and apologise to her." Hua Ling looked at Hua Luyao and spoke in an unusually serious manner.
Yan Shi simply had to laugh out loud, he was witnessing what kind of changes Hua Luyao's face had gone through.
Hua Xu nodded his head and agreed, "What big brother said is extremely true, just now it was my brother who was ill-considered."
"Well, it's getting late," Yang finally spoke, "Hua Ling, you should go ahead and take a look, don't let the king wait."
Asking her daughter to kowtow to that woman and admit her mistake was not something she would agree to, but the image she had built up in front of Hua Ling for so long prevented her from speaking too forcefully to stop it, so she could only resort to this roundabout tactic.
"But it won't take long to apologise in front of my mother's tablet," Hua Ling said in a rare display of obstinacy in front of them, "I'll wait until I've seen my sister finish pouring out her apologies before I go."
Yang's anger was vaguely suppressed: "What? Are you afraid that I will excuse Luyao from apologising in front of sister's tablet while you are away?"
"That's not what I meant," Hua Ling explained, "I just wanted to see it with my own eyes."
Yang snorted coldly, "You still mean the same thing after all. I have raised you for so many years, yet you are so suspicious of me, it really chills my heart."
Yang's most common way of dealing with Hua Ling was to blame him for her own faults, and to make him feel that he had really done something wrong, so that he could pray for her forgiveness.
"Mother, big brother he doesn't mean that." Hua Xu hurriedly explained from the side.
"I'm talking to your big brother, where do you get to interject!" Yang gave her son a fierce glare, how could she have given birth to such a son with his elbows pointing outwards, these three children, the remaining two were all like herself.
"Let's go." Yang said and headed out into the garden.
Hua Ling didn't follow, gritting his teeth, "I'm not leaving, if I don't see her apologise to my mother with my own eyes, I won't leave today!"
"What did you say?" Yang fiercely turned her head, her face full of anger, her gaze shrewdly looking at him, "How can you be so ignorant now that you're married? If you make the prince wait long and offend him. If the prince offends the whole of the court, is that something you can afford to do?"
"Mother-in-law, what is the matter with calling me?" Having had enough of the drama, Yan Shi emerged from his original place of concealment and floated in through the courtyard door.
He was tall and handsome, and his white clothes made him look even more handsome and elegant, and now that he was walking through the blossoming flowers, he was even more beautiful.
This was the first time Hua Luyao had seen Yan Shi, so her heart was racing. Hua Ling frowned slightly and stood in front of her without moving to block her view.
Yang's heart was shocked, not expecting Yan Shi to be here, but her face remained unchanged as she saluted with her children.
"What were you talking about?" Yan Shi asked, "The only thing I heard was that 'you will keep the prince waiting', is there anything else you want to do? Just go ahead and do it, this prince has nothing to do today."
Yan Shi didn't want to help Hua Ling, he just wanted to muddy the waters a bit more. He had just observed for a long time that Hua Ling was simple-minded, weak and deceivable. As for Hua Qiancheng, he didn't believe that he didn't know what kind of situation Hua Ling was in, in the house.
Since this was the case, instead of being on guard against Hua Ling, it would be better to bring him in little by little, as one more friend was better than one more enemy.
This move would help Hua Ling and make him grateful to him, but it would also make the people of the Kangle Manshion think that Hua Ling was no longer at their mercy, so they would be more on guard against him, pushing him further and further away. If Hua Ling loses the title of the Duke of Kangle Manshion, who else can he follow but him?
As expected, Hua Ling's eyes lit up when he heard Yan Shi's words, revealing a bright smile as he looked at Yang: "Mother, the prince said he wasn't busy, so I can personally watch my sister apologise to my mother."
Yan Shi raised his eyebrows and made a very surprised look, "Oh? What is it about?"
Yan Shi's eyes swept back and forth between Yang's, Hua Luyao's and Hua Wei's bodies several times, and said with a smirk, "I really don't know how bad the upbringing of this Kang Le Manshion is. The eldest young lady is disrespectful to her first mother, and the youngest son is disrespectful to his elder brother, so this is really an eye-opener for me!"
