Chapter 40: Uncontrollable Fury

  "Yan Qing, give up! I won't marry you!" Ling Wei burst into the Yan Manor and shouted at Yan Qing.

  Yan Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but the hand shaking the fan did not stop, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of his lips. "You are the young lady of Ling Muxuan Manor? I don't know where you're getting this from?"

  "You don't have to pretend to be stupid. My grandmother wants me to marry you. I'm here to formally tell you that I won't marry you." Ling Wei shouted, completely unaware of the person next to her who was looking at her with a mixture of shock and sneering eyes.

  Yan Qing's eyes flashed, and he glanced at his personal attendant beside him.

  The little servant understood, and quickly drove away the servants who were watching the play on the side.

  "Miss Ling, I don't know what you're talking about. It's better for you to go ask your grandmother to clear things up. Running here without a reason is just making people laugh." Yan Qing looked Ling Wei up and down from head to toe, "I see that you are still young, so I won't bother with you. You should hurry back now, lest Lord Ling have trouble because of you."

  "You..." Ling Wei's face turned red, and just as she was about to say something else, a low cry of surprise came from behind her.

  "Oh no, you really came running?"

  Ling Wei turned around and saw Ye Yun approaching with the Four Great Guardians and Xing Er.

  Following respectfully beside Ye Yun was the steward of the Yan Manor who had just let her in.

  "What are you doing here?!" Ling Wei's eyes stared at Dong Er behind Xing Er.

  Actually told her!

  Dong Er was glared at by Ling Wei and shrank his neck in fear.

  Ye Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

  The foolish girl, she's lost face and still doesn't know her mistake!

  Ye Yun didn't respond to Ling Wei, and instead lowered her head to apologize to Yan Qing: "Yan Gongzi please forgive me, my younger sister is ignorant and foolish, she doesn't know where she heard some rumors and took them as true. And it ended up causing such a commotion, it's because we weren't strict enough in our upbringing."

  Ye Yun wore a light purple gauze dress, elegant and courteous, with a clean face, although she didn't wear any makeup, she had a natural pinkish complexion, giving people a rare feeling of freshness.

  Yan Qing was taken aback and stood up, "Where! It's just a small matter, I won't take it to heart. But I don't know who you are..."

  "Oh, it's my fault for not introducing myself first. I am Ling Feng's wife, Ye Yun. Since Ling Feng is not in the mansion due to some business, I had to come here with a thick face. Originally, I shouldn't have been so abrupt either."

  "You..." Ling Wei wanted to shout back.

  Ye Yun gave her a stern look, and Ling Wei suddenly felt as if she had been cast with a petrification spell, freezing in place.

  Her eyes were icy cold and venomous, Ling Wei felt like she was being entwined by a snake, unable to move or speak.

  "It turned out to be the mistress of the Zhuang family. Recently, there have been rumors everywhere that the master of Lingmu Mountain Villa is about to get married, and today I finally got to see the true face of the mistress, it's really a blessing for three lifetimes." Yan Qing glanced at Di Yuan, one of the four great talents of the capital who was sitting beside him watching the play without saying a word, "Brother Di, don't you think so?"

  Ye Yun also followed with a faint glance at Di Yuan, and saw that Di Yuan was sitting steadily on the stool, his upper body straight as a pen, without a hint of a smile or word, but in his eyes looking at Ye Yun flashed contempt.

  "Hearing is not as good as seeing."

  Although it was just a faint sentence, it revealed waves of hostility.

  This enmity came out of nowhere, Ye Yun was too lazy to bother with it, and said to Yan Qing: "Today let Master Yan see a joke, another day I will come again to apologize. Farewell!"

  "Wait!" The person who stopped him was none other than Di Yuan, who had an inexplicable animosity towards Ye Yun.

  Ye Yun slightly narrowed her eyes and forced down the discomfort in her heart, "What advice does Lord Di have?"

  "You scolded someone and then thought you could just leave? You think it's that easy?" Di Yuan's eyes slanted, staring at Ye Yun.

  Ye Yun didn't show weakness either, and glared back with a slanted gaze, "Did I scold you?"

  "Although it was not Di who was scolded, as Yan Qing's friend, how could he just sit and do nothing?"

  "Oh? Really speaking up for justice, but Yan Gongzi has already made his attitude clear and won't bother with my younger sister. Di Gongzi suddenly became aggressive, is it that he doesn't put Yan Gongzi in his eyes or does he want to be at odds with our Ling Mu Mountain Villa?"

  "Ah!" Di Yuan slapped his hand on the table and stood up, "What a sharp-tongued prostitute!"

  The fire in Ye Yun's heart suddenly flared up, "Who are you cursing?!"

  "The prostitute is cursing you."

  "Oh," Ye Yun sneered, "I didn't know that Lord Di had such a hobby. But saying one is a prostitute isn't quite suitable, is it?"

  Di Yuan only then discovered the subtlety in his words, and got so angry that his face turned red, "You!"

  "Mind your manners, sir!" Ye Yun stepped forward, her expression stern and her anger suppressed. "We've just met by chance, this is our first encounter. You're humiliating me like this, I can go to the authorities and report you right now!"

  "Hum! What have you done yourself, and yet you're afraid of what others will say?" Di Yuan still wouldn't let him off.

  "Brother Di, it's better to say less about unfounded things. If Ling Zhuangzhu finds out, he might not let it go easily." Yan Qing didn't expect that what was originally his own matter had now turned around, and he strongly signaled to Di Yuan with his eyes.

  Di Yuan was so angry with Ye Yun that he refused to let the matter drop.

  "Hum! Isn't she just relying on Ling Feng to back her up? If you have the ability, speak with strength!"

  "Oh? Alright!" Ye Yun rolled up her sleeves, "Just what I wanted. Let's make a gentleman's agreement. As long as we don't maim or cripple each other, and don't take each other's lives, it's none of our concern. How about it?"

  Di Yuan did not expect Ye Yun to agree so readily, and he had not even mentioned a duel.

  At this time, he cannot back down either. If he backs down, he will be laughed at!

  "Alright! Let's do it then, bring a pen!"

  "Di brother, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by others for doing this?" Yan Qing was speechless. This matter clearly showed that Di Yuan was in the wrong, but now Ye Yun was also unwilling to let it go.

  Di Yuan's strength is well-known. Ye Yun actually still wants to establish a Gentleman's Agreement, isn't this just being arrogant?

  If this gets out, Di Yuan's reputation will be ruined.

  This is no time for empty bravado.

  "This..." Di Yuan also hesitated for a moment, the issue of reputation, he wasn't afraid, it's just that, he had never hit a woman before, what if Ye Yun was trying to trick him...

  Ye Yun coldly snorted, "What? Dì gōngzǐ had just boasted with his sharp tongue, but now he's become a turtle retracting its head?"

  She didn't give up, how could she?! The tiger didn't show its might, he thought of her as a sick cat!

  "What?!". Di Yuan's eyes widened in anger, "I was going to spare you, but you still don't know how to live! Alright! I'll teach you a good lesson on behalf of your parents!"

  "Fart!" Ye Yun couldn't bear it anymore and scolded her. She could still barely tolerate it, but unexpectedly she even dragged in her parents!

  Heaven knows how much she misses them now!

  Ye Yun's anger was ignited and almost uncontrollable!

  "Shut your dog mouth! Without understanding someone, you dare to comment based on rumors and hearsay from who-knows-where. You've studied for so many years, but it seems your brain is filled with toilet paper! If I don't teach you a lesson today, my name 'Ye Yun' will be written in reverse!"
