Chapter 249: Chapter 247: It’s Normal That You Don’t Have a Brain (First Update)

The crowd was taken aback and turned their heads to see Xu Huaiyang holding a foot with both hands, struggling to hop around on one leg, creating a rather ridiculous scene.

Not far away, two young boys around eight or nine years old stood, both looking very sturdy, dressed in expensive brocade clothes. One boy had a golden headband with a giant golden bird motif across his forehead, and another wore a long-life lock necklace. Despite their young age, they held their chins high with a contemptuous look towards Xu Huaiyang.

The boy with the golden headband spoke, "It was me who stepped on you, what of it? Do you want to get back at me?"

The other boy with the long-life lock sneered, "Baojun, don’t mind him. He’s standing at the entrance of this clinic, clearly intending to go in. Anyone who would frequent a clinic run by a woman of such low standing can’t be any good themselves! You stepping on him multiple times is justified!"

Xu Huaiyang’s foot was still in pain. Looking at these two arrogant little brats, his face turned red with anger, "You step on people and still think you’re in the right! You..."

Before he could finish, several hurried servants and guards ran over from a distance. Seeing Xu Huaiyang glaring at the two boys, they rushed up to him and scowled, "Who are you! What are you trying to do to our young lord? Do you know who our young lord is?"

Before Xu Huaiyang could speak, the two boys suddenly pointed at him and shouted:

"Du, this guy bullied me! Hit him for me!"

"Yes! Hit him! Not only does this guy support a woman of such low standing, but he also bullies children. He should be dragged to the authorities and thrown in jail!"

Xu Huaiyang had never encountered such unreasonable little rascals before. His eyes widened in disbelief. Just then, a cool female voice came from the side, "We saw it clearly just now. It was your young lord who ran over and stepped on my cousin. And not only us, but the surrounding pedestrians also saw it. My cousin merely wanted them to apologize, but unexpectedly, they started accusing him instead. I would like to know, which household raises such ill-mannered children?"

Xu Huaiyang was taken aback and, somewhat surprised, looked at Xu Jing, who had come to stand by his side.

The first to stand up for him was actually his cousin!

The servants of the two boys immediately turned and stared at Xu Jing, "Who are you saying is ill-mannered!"

Suddenly, the boy with the long-life lock jumped up, with a face still somewhat childish but now filled with maliciousness, shouting, "It’s you! You filthy shameless bad woman! You bullied my mom and sister last time, I’m going to avenge them! I... I’m going to kill you!"

Xu Jing looked at him coldly. Just a moment ago, she recognized who this foul-mouthed brat was. Wasn’t he the precious boy Mrs. Wen struggled to give birth to, her own brother in this body—Xu Hanguang?

After the original owner’s mom passed away, Mrs. Wen hurriedly tried to have more sons. It wasn’t until the third pregnancy that she finally had this boy, who was then excessively pampered and spoiled, becoming a little tyrant.

When the original owner returned to the Xu Family, she often got teased and bullied by this brat.

The servants and guards following Xu Hanguang also immediately recognized her. She was none other than the Fourth Young Lady who had been expelled from the Xu Family! They were all stunned.

After the Madam and two young ladies returned from Lady Ronghua’s birthday banquet last time, they were in low spirits. The Madam’s anger even caused her to fall seriously ill. They only learned then that the Fourth Young Lady, who had been a taboo at home, had returned. Moreover... she not only wanted to remarry Xiao Qilang but also connected with the high-standing Zhao Family!

The Lord was naturally shocked too, but being accustomed to the officialdom, he knew the Fourth Young Lady was now accomplished. Regardless of the Madam’s opposition, he wanted her back home. However, the Holy Emperor directly granted her a residence, allowing her to establish her own household. The Lord went to visit several times, only to be turned away at the gate by guards, leaving him with a stormy face for days, often venting his frustration on the servants.

With the adults at home in bad moods, they neglected the young lord. The young lord, having been the center of everyone’s attention since a young age, couldn’t bear this disparity and had been clamoring to exact revenge for his mother and sisters from that woman.

Today, while they weren’t watching, he sneaked off to the clinic known to be co-run by the Fourth Young Lady, and as luck would have it, actually encountered her!

The Xu Family’s servants were at a loss for what to do. Though the Fourth Young Lady was driven out of the house, given the Lord’s attitude, who knew whether she might return one day!

They did not dare offend her.

The other boy and his servants, apparently not from the Xu Family, had no such concerns. The brat hearing Xu Hanguang’s words immediately scorned Xu Jing, "Oh, so you’re that woman adept at seducing men, a vixen even less presentable than a village girl! How dare you bully my buddy’s mom and sister, what a nerve!"

The words from this child were unbelievably harsh.

The onlookers, initially reticent due to the evident wealth of the boys, now couldn’t help but frown and murmur:

"These kids, speaking worse than some marketplace shrews, what kind of upbringing is this?"

"I thought they were arrogant, but they’re worse than I imagined—completely lacking in manners."

"My Xiao Xizi, though not as wealthy as them, would never speak like this. If his mother found out, she’d skin him alive..."

Xu Jing, hearing this, coldly glanced at the boys’ servants and scoffed, "You hear that? Anyone with a brain can see who I’m calling ill-mannered. It’s understandable that you lack brains, given your masters don’t seem to have much of them either."

The boy’s servant’s face darkened immediately, shouting, "You woman! Do you know our young lord is a legitimate son of the Wang Family! A direct grandson of Duke Qiao! If you keep speaking insolently, don’t blame me for dragging you to the Wang Family!"

Xu Jing’s eyes flickered.

So, the other brat was from the Wang Family. No wonder, she had heard that Mrs. Wen had Xu Ya act as an intermediary to get Xu Hanguang into the Wang Family’s clan school. No wonder he could be buddies with the Wang Family brat.

She smirked slightly and coldly addressed the Wang Family’s servant, "What reason do you have to drag me to the Wang Family? It was your young lord who first stepped on my cousin and insulted both me and my cousin. Are you saying that shifting blame is a fine tradition in the Wang Family?!"

"You!"

The Wang Family’s servant was utterly shocked at Xu Jing. Whenever they mentioned the Wang Family name before, others would be scared to the point of kneeling and begging. However, this woman dared to mock the Wang Family as well!

Judging from the Xu Family’s reaction, she must be the recently well-known Xu Siniang, truly believing that because she had climbed high, she feared nothing!

Xu Jing could clearly see what was on their minds. Just the Wang Family? She had already offended one Wang Qilang,so she didn’t mind offending another brat.

She sneered, "Enough, I’m quite respectful of the elderly and nurturing of the young. Since your young lords don’t know what manners are, my cousin and I can’t be bothered to fuss over it, lest we appear overly aggressive. However, you’d better tell your families to discipline their children. Next time, the people he offends might not be as forgiving as my cousin and I."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Baojun and Xu Hanguang, their faces as angry as furious wild boars, suddenly let out a roar. One suddenly picked up a stone the size of a child’s fist from the ground and threw it fiercely at Xu Jing, while the other directly charged at her, raising a fist to strike.
