"Robbing me of my goods and my people. What do you mean by this?" Yang Dong sneered and stared at Zhou Xue coldly.
Zhou Xue's face changed slightly, but she still explained: "Mr. Yang, I think there may be some misunderstandings between my brother and you. Why don't you let your brother go first? Our Zhou family is willing to compensate you for your losses." At this point, She glanced at the disheveled young woman and continued: "Including this young lady, I am very sorry for the fright that just caused you. Our Zhou family is willing to compensate her 10,000 taels of silver." Yang Dong did not respond, but turned his gaze Looking at Yao Qi, he asked: "Yao Qi, what do you think about this matter?"
"I..." Yao Qi opened his mouth, not knowing where to start. At this moment, Yao Jia, who hurriedly came from the inn, also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere here.
When she saw the disheveled appearance of the young woman, she suddenly had a suspicion in her mind and her face changed drastically.
"Sister Xu, are you injured?" She stepped forward with concern and supported the young woman's delicate body.
The young woman shook her head, her face turned pale, her eyes were filled with fear, and her delicate body was trembling slightly.
She quickly turned her attention to Yao Qi and couldn't help but said: "Brother, Sister Xu has been bullied like this, you must seek justice for her!" After hearing this, Yao Qi looked slightly embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xue tugged at the corner of his clothes, and then took the initiative to come up and said: "Xiaojia, this is actually all a misunderstanding. And your third brother didn't mean it."
"We are all a family, don't let this matter hurt the harmony!"
"You are a close relative of Mr. Yang. Why don't you help your brother and persuade Mr. Yang?"
"I..." Yao Jia opened her mouth, hesitated, and then shook her head.
"Sister-in-law, you are also a woman, and you understand how important chastity is to women. Besides, this Sister Xu is an honored guest of Mr. Yang. I really..." After hearing this, Zhou Xue's face changed slightly, and she stared at Yao Jia, even his tone became colder.
"Yao Jia, you said that, my sister-in-law is very disappointed in you. This is a family matter, why did you just..." She wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Yao Qi raising his hand.
Yao Qi took a deep breath and stepped forward to stand between Zhou Xue and Yao Jia. He looked at Yang Dong, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mr. Yang, do you think this matter can be reduced to a minor issue?"
"What Zhou Feng did was indeed wrong, but he is a child after all. And I believe that the Zhou family will definitely give this Madam Xu an explanation." At this point, he cupped his hands towards the young woman and said gently: "Xu Madam, if you have any requests, just ask, I will make the decision for you, and I guarantee that the Zhou family will give you a satisfactory explanation." The young woman's heart was like a mirror. Although she was frightened, she also realized the complexity of the situation at this moment.
These people in front of them were all greeted by them when they came out of the city to seal the city. And from what Zhou Feng said just now, it seems that the Zhou family's power in the court is not small.
Thinking of this, she gritted her silver teeth, a strong unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she still said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang, there is nothing serious about the slave family. I think the Zhou family is also aware of their own problems."
"Why don't we just let this matter go?" Seeing that she was so sensible, both Yao Qi and Zhou Xue relaxed a lot.
But who would have thought that Yang Dong shook his head and said: "You are the person invited by me, so you are my man."
"Now that I have been bullied in front of me, how can I make up for it with just an apology?" He said, taking out a one hundred thousand tael silver note from his arms and throwing it into the young woman's hand.
"This is a hundred thousand taels of silver notes, which is regarded as compensation from the West Factory to you." This wave of operations instantly made Zhou Xue's face gloomy.
Just now, the Zhou family said they would compensate 10,000 taels, but Yang Dong casually took out 100,000 taels. Isn't this just a slap in the face of the Zhou family?
But when I thought that the other party was now favored by His Majesty and was at the peak of his power, he just gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang is generous, so naturally our Zhou family will not treat this young lady badly."
"Come here, bring me a hundred thousand taels of silver notes!" After hearing Zhou Xue's instructions, his guards immediately presented him with a hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
When Zhou Feng saw this, his eyes turned red instantly. Although he is the most favored only son of the Zhou family, he has never spent a lot of money, let alone a hundred thousand taels of silver?
At this moment, he even forgot about the dagger on his neck, and couldn't help but said: "Sister, you don't have to be like this! This woman is no longer a girl, how can she be worth so much money?"
"Shut up!" Zhou Xue scolded Zhou Feng, her expression equally gloomy.
In her opinion, this young woman was just a weight used by Yang Dong to blackmail the Zhou family. One hundred thousand taels of silver was actually to give Yang Dong face.
And a woman like the little young woman is no longer a girl. Even for a young lady who has not yet left the court, one hundred thousand taels of silver notes can buy thousands of them.
Thinking of this, she gritted her silver teeth and looked at Yang Dong and said, "Is Mr. Yang still satisfied with this?" However, Yang Dong shook his head again and did not even look at the banknote in Zhou Xue's hand.
"I have no shortage of silver."
"What I have always hated the most are the bastards who bully the people."
"Since your Zhou family is not good at discipline, I don't mind discipline you for you!" As he spoke, a force of energy and blood suddenly condensed on his palm.
At the same time, a rapid roar suddenly came from behind Zhou Xue.
"Stop!" However, this roar was a little slower after all. However, Yang Dong's palm was slapped heavily on Zhou Feng's lower abdomen.
The next moment, Zhou Feng's heartbreaking cry of pain could be heard throughout the courtyard! At the same time, a figure struck Yang Dong directly in the face like lightning.
Yang Dong sneered, but he didn't dodge and faced the punch with his backhand. The collision of energy and blood instantly caused a wave of air!
Ordinary people with no cultivation skills present only felt a hurricane blowing in front of them. Their bodies were uncontrollable and they took several steps back behind them.
After they stood firm, they saw the scene in front of them clearly. I saw a middle-aged man standing in front of Yang Dong.
He has a strong back and a strong waist, and looks particularly sharp, forming an extremely exaggerated contrast with the slim Yang Dong.
Yao Qi's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Mr. Yang, are you okay?" However, Yang Dong's calm voice still responded to him.
"I'm fine." The next moment, the strong man in front of him was like paper, falling straight behind him.
This scene shocked everyone instantly. Especially Zhou Xue, who covered her red lips with both hands in surprise.
