Chapter 1239: Go Back (4)
Yang Peili let out a sigh and glanced at Yang Anshi. These past days, he had actually done some reflecting as well. He regretted not intervening sooner, allowing his wife to cause such a stir—it had driven the main house away. But now, even if he wanted to complain, looking at Yang Anshi’s state, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it.
"Uncle, let me help you. Let’s go," Yang Ruxin said politely.
"No need," Yang Peili said, his face looking unpleasant. "You all go back first, I’ll be right there."
Yang Zhenjiang and the other few exchanged glances, then really did leave first. But they didn’t go far, instead waiting by the door.
Yang Peili stood at the entrance of the second house and called out twice, hoping to have Yang Baichuan join him. But despite his family being clearly at home, there was no response, and in the end, he could only sigh and step out the door.
Yang Baihe, seeing Yang Peili enter, hurriedly scrambled up and ran over, grabbing hold of him: "Father, your timing is impeccable. Look, that’s the eighth son of the Qi family. He’s the one who promised me to his brother... Now you can make the arrangements..."
But Yang Peili suddenly raised his hand and delivered a slap.
Yang Baihe was completely stunned by the slap and stood gaping and staring, unable to react for a long time.
Upon entering, Yang Peili had noticed the two distinguished young masters. His first thought was how daring his own daughter was—to fancy such people. He figured it was better to take her back quickly. He had already lost enough face in the village, and if things went on like this, he might as well not leave his house anymore. So, no matter what, he couldn’t let his daughter continue this disturbance.
