Chapter Twenty-Six: The Rich Young Master
The three of them followed the address provided by Zhou Fulin and came to a courtyard. When the servant heard that there was news of the old master, he quickly went in to report. After a short while, Li Liuyan and the other two entered.
When they arrived at the main hall, Li Liuyan saw a woman sitting in the middle of the room. She was about forty years old and had some looks.
After sitting down and sipping tea, the woman said,"I wonder what my husband has to say to you?"]
Li Liuyan felt that she was in a difficult position and looked at Cheng Ying.
Cheng Ying understood and told the woman about Shopkeeper Zheng's death in a very tactful manner. The woman didn't believe her at first, but when she told her that the hearse was right outside the door, she was so shocked that she fainted. After Cheng Ying woke her up, she just silently cried and slowly asked," Did my husband say anything in the end?]
Li Liuyan told them how they met the bandits, how Shopkeeper Zheng was shot by an arrow, how she buried him, and how she was delayed for four months by the Mongol attack on Xiangyang before she returned Shopkeeper Zheng's coffin. Li Liuyan said,[Mrs. Zheng, those bandits have been eliminated. You have avenged your husband. Please accept my condolences!]]
Mrs. Zheng stood up and bowed,"Thank you for sending my husband back."]
Li Liuyan took out three golden leaves and placed them on the table."[Madam Zheng, this is Manager Zheng's 4000 taels of silver. Although the Weiwu Escort Agency was wrong to hide this matter, they also lost two of their bodyguards and the Escort Agency went bankrupt. Madam, please don't make things difficult for them.]] Li Liu Yan remembered what she had promised Zhou Fulin and brought it up.
After exchanging some pleasantries, the three of them stood up and left. They saw a person staggering in from outside, shouting,[Mother, quickly give me twenty taels of silver.]
Li Liuyan looked carefully at the person who entered. It was a young man in his twenties. He had a fair face, oily hair, and a white robe. There was also an exquisite jade pendant hanging from his waist. Li Liuyan felt nauseous when she smelled the rouge and alcohol on his body. It seemed that this was the unfilial son that Shopkeeper Zheng had mentioned.
After the young man entered the house, he pounced on Madam Zheng and shook her arm.[Mother, quickly bring me the silver.]
Mrs. Zheng cried,"Yu 'Er, your father, your father passed away."]
The young man was already 70 - 80% drunk. He muttered,[So be it. Mother, bring me the silver first.]] When Mrs. Zheng heard her son's words, she was so angry that her entire body trembled. She pointed at the young man's nose and said," You…you…" She was speechless for a long time.
The young man ignored his mother and glanced at the glittering light on the table. He said happily,[Isn't this gold?] After saying that, she pounced forward.
Li Liuyan was furious. She rushed in front of the young man and grabbed the gold. The young man tried his best but couldn't pull it out. After sizing her up for a long time, she realized that it was Li Liuyan who was causing trouble. She said angrily,[What are you doing?]
Li Liuyan smiled,"You want me to let go? Fine, just tell me what you're going to do with the money."]
The young man said,"It's Young Master Ma who said that everyone should take twenty taels each to hire a flower boat to swim on the lake." Who are you? Why should I tell you?]
Li Liuyan thought to herself, Sure enough, although it's not a brothel, the nature is similar.] He grabbed the young man's collar with his left hand and the teacup with his right hand. With a splash, he splashed the tea all over the young man's face. With a forceful push, the young man rolled out of the door.
Mrs. Zheng saw her son fall and said,"Young Master Li, why did you hit my son?"] Just as she was about to rush out to help her, Li Liuyan stopped her and said,"" Madam Zheng, your husband told me how mischievous your son was. I didn't expect him to be so indifferent when he heard the news of his biological father's death. Before your husband died, he instructed me to tell your son not to play around. Today, I will teach his son a lesson on behalf of your husband. I hope Madam won't stop me.]
Mrs. Zheng was already indebted to Li Liuyan for escorting the hearse, so she didn't say anything more after hearing her husband's last words.
The young man got up and saw that Li Liuyan had also left the hall. He ran up and grabbed her collar, angrily saying,[How dare you push me?] He tried his best to push Li Liuyan down, but how could he pull her away?
Li Liuyan ignored him and said,"I heard Madam call you Yu 'er. What's your name?"]
The young man let go and tidied his clothes. He said proudly,[I am the handsome young master, Zheng Yu. Who are you? Why do you want to go to my house?]
Li Liuyan said to the butler who was at a loss,[Go get a bucket of water.] Then he turned to Zheng Yu and said,"If you are Yu, aren't you afraid of falling?"] He stepped forward, hooked his leg, and pushed his hand. Even though he didn't use internal energy, Zheng Yu still fell twice.
Zheng Yu got up and said loudly to Mrs. Zheng, Mother, who is this? You don't care that he's behaving atrociously in our house?]
Li Liuyan took the bucket from the housekeeper and said,"[I'll tell you who I am later, but I'm going to help you sober up first.]] With that, he poured a bucket of water on Zheng Yu. Mrs. Zheng saw that her son had been thrown and beaten, and her heart ached. She wanted to go up and stop him, but Cheng Ying, who was beside her, went up to support her.[Madam, don't worry. Liu Yan knows what to do.]
Li Liuyan looked at Zheng Yu coldly and said,"[Have you sobered up?]
Zheng Yu was completely enraged and scolded,"[Wake you up, Old Mu.] He stood up and rushed towards Li Liuyan.
This Zheng Yu had never practiced martial arts and indulged in debauchery every day. His body was not even comparable to that of an ordinary person. Li Liuyan used the small grappling hand to deal with him. She only threw him down and did not hurt him. Every time he threw the knife, he would ask,"Are you awake?"]
Zheng Yu was tossed a bucket of cold water by Li Liuyan and was tormented for a long time. He had mostly sobered up, but he was stubborn and refused to give in. Every time he fell down, he would get up and shout," I'm not sober ", and the wine would rush back.
Li Liuyan didn't believe it. She kept throwing the wine at him. After more than 20 falls, Zheng Yu's white robe had turned into a mud robe. He was lying on the ground, unable to move. He was still stubborn.
Li Liuyan walked up and asked,"Are you awake?"]
Zheng Yu couldn't get up. She could only raise her head and glare at him fiercely.[She just didn't wake up.]
Li Liuyan was not angry. She grabbed him and threw him out. She walked to his side and said,[What about this time?]
After another dozen somersaults, Zheng Yu put her hands together and begged for mercy. I'm awake. Don't fall, don't fall.]
Li Liuyan lifted him up and said,"I thought you wouldn't wake up until you died."]
Zheng Yu kept panting and did not answer.
Li Liuyan said,[Listen up, my name is Li Liuyan. I was asked by your father to bring his body back.]]
Zheng Yu's body trembled as he said,"When you were alive?"]
Li Liuyan said,[Yes, your father passed away four months ago.]]
Zheng Yu shouted,"You lied to me!"
Li Liuyan said,"The hearse is outside."]
Zheng Yu didn't know where he got the strength from, but he pushed Li Liu Yan away and rushed out of the courtyard.
Li Liuyan and Mrs. Zheng waited outside the door and saw Zheng Yu crying on the coffin. Mrs. Zheng walked up and patted Zheng Yu's shoulder gently, tears streaming down her face.
Li Liuyan said," Zheng Yu, when you were young, your father's business wasn't doing well. You suffered with him. Later, when his business got better, he wanted to compensate you. He gave in to you in everything. But how did you repay him?" Before your father died, he told me to tell you to stop playing around. You're not young anymore. The family business will depend on you in the future. Think about it carefully.]
When Zheng Yu heard Li Liuyan's words, she stopped crying and sat there in a daze.
Li Liuyan cupped her fists at Mrs. Zheng and said,"Mrs. Zheng, we'll take our leave then."] He led Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang back to his house.
