Chapter 364 - 358_1
Lin Yue approached to see Lin Qing surrounded and beaten by several scholars, his nose blue and face swollen, likely also harboring serious injuries. "What are you doing? Have you no respect for the law?" she exclaimed angrily.
"Xiaoyue, how did you get here?" Lin Qing, surprised and worried at his sister’s arrival, didn’t want her to see him in such a wretched state.
"Brother, how are you feeling? Are you alright?" Lin Yue helped Lin Qing up, her voice filled with concern. She planned to take him to see a doctor but intended to seek justice for Lin Qing first, of course, only if his condition allowed. From what she could see, Lin Qing had suffered mostly superficial damage—after all, these were merely scholars, naturally lacking the strength of farmhands.
"Yo, Lin Qing, this must be your sister, indeed very pretty. No wonder Young Master Jiang can’t stop thinking about her. Such a beauty! Miss Lin, why don’t you come with us to meet Young Master Jiang? He has been longing to see you," sneered Liang Wei, Jiang Wenshu’s top lackey at the academy. Liang Wei was privy to his affairs, so he knew all about the Lin sister. Jiang Wenshu was currently infatuated with Lin Qing’s sister. Bringing Lin Yue back would surely delight Jiang Wenshu.
Seeing these men harassing his sister, Lin Qing boiled with rage. "Shut your dog mouths! If you continue to offend my sister, don’t blame me for being impolite!"
"Tsk, tsk, looking like that you want to be impolite to us? Show us what you’ve got," Liang Wei said with disdain, regarding Lin Qing as nothing more than a poor wretch. Initially, he refrained from troubling the poor boy out of respect for Jiang Wenshu. But now that Jiang Wenshu had made his position clear, there was no need for politeness.
"Good, very good, haha!" Lin Yue laughed instead, her laugh laced with sarcasm.
Liang Wei looked at Lin Yue, puzzled. "Is this woman insane?"
