Chapter 1204: Dong Residence
The Dong family was in chaos.
Dong Mao was carried back covered in mud. When he was wiped clean, his face was so bruised that nobody could quite recognize him.
As Old Madam Dong hugged her bruised and swollen youngest son, she wailed. With a finger pointed at her sons, she snapped, "Are you just going to watch your younger brother being bullied like this? If you can’t even protect your younger brother, what’s the use of having you?"
Dong Wulang was Old Madam Dong’s son. She spoiled him so much that he didn’t have a proper job even though he was already in his twenties, in addition to frequently causing trouble everywhere like a teenager.
The two young masters of the Dong family, Erlang, Sanlang and Silang, stood at the side with their heads lowered. However, Dong Dalang refused to coddle his younger brother’s atrocious behavior. He said to his mother with a dark expression, "Do you know who he provoked? Prince An and the two young masters of King Rong’s family, plus another child whose identity is unknown. But how many people in the vast capital can be so chummy with the young masters of King Rong’s estate? Mother, that might be a prince. Your youngest son might be precious to you, but can he be more precious than the princes in the palace?"
Old Madam Dong choked and looked at her eldest son with tears still on her face. "Then, then are we just going to let this matter go?"
"I wish it’d be that easy. But Prince An and King Rong might not be willing."
Old Madam Dong fumed again. "Wulang’s already beaten up so badly..."
"That’s right. A 23-year-old young man was beaten up this badly by a child in his early teens." Dalang said angrily, "Mother, do you think it’s a glorious matter?"
Old Madam Dong choked on her words, but her expression clearly showed that she was unconvinced. Huffing and puffing, she sobbed with Dong Mao in her embrace.
