Chapter Thirty-Four: The Young Master of the Du Family

  The carriage stopped abruptly, and inertia caused Yang You to involuntarily lean forward.

  Yang You stretched out his head to see what had happened, and at this time Yang Jier also poked out her head, saw Yang You and glared at him with a sullen look, obviously still sulking!

  In front of the horse carriage

  A group of people blocked the middle of the road, blocking the way. Each and every one of them was dressed in a luxurious attire, holding water fire clubs in their hands. This is a common weapon used by wealthy families to guard their homes and yards, simple and practical, and also not prohibited.

  The first of the two men was tall and large, with a rugged face and a water fire stick in his hand that swung effortlessly, striking his palm and making a slapping sound, the shout just now came from his mouth.

  "Bold rascal!"

  Dong Yue shouted angrily and urged his horse forward. The horse galloped straight ahead, showing no signs of slowing down until it reached the front of the servants.

  "Ah!" The bodyguards scattered in all directions with a loud crash.

  These sturdy men were ordinary farmers who were summoned by their masters to guard the house and yard during their free time. If they had to deal with ordinary people, it would be fine, but now that someone was charging towards them on horseback, they were already frightened out of their wits, and at this moment, preserving their lives was the priority.

  Alas.

  Dong Yue suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse stopped abruptly. The chestnut-colored stallion stood on its front hooves, and the lead groom was almost thrown off.

  "Oh no!" The proud servant was the first to cry out for help, and with a loss of bladder control, he crawled away to one side.

  Dong Yue snorted, looking at the eunuchs crawling and kowtowing in front of him with disdain. Since becoming the leader of the East Palace Guards, no one had dared to block his way.

  "Haha......"

  At this time, many Du Ling villagers had already gathered around, these hooligans who were also rampant in the countryside during peacetime, today were actually scared to the point of pissing their pants, and burst into loud laughter.

  "Du Wei has fallen today. He usually looks so arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be such a coward." The onlookers jeered at the leader of the gang.

  Du Wei's face turned bright red, he was the leader of these powerful servants, and in his daily life in Du Ling, he was also very domineering. Now, being scared by Dong Yue to the point of pissing his pants, he felt that his own dignity had been completely lost, and from now on, his prestige would be completely gone, how could others trust him?

  At this thought, Du Wei's eyes revealed a hateful gaze, staring viciously at Dong Yue, yet he didn't think for a moment that it was himself who started the trouble.

  "You have a big nerve, don't you know where this is? You dare to gallop in the street, if I don't teach you a lesson, how can I explain it to the elders of Du Ling?"

  Du Wei's head shook horizontally, and he opened his eyes to spout nonsense, but he was also intimidated by Dong Yue's aura. With a wave of his large hand, all the servants surrounded him.

  "He's simply asking for trouble."

  Dong Yue's anger flared up, and a team of guards immediately rode forward on horseback, confronting each other.

  The situation is on the verge of eruption, and it's clear that the hooligans have received some kind of instruction. They're causing trouble here, and if they really alarm His Highness the Crown Prince, they'll be in big trouble.

  Dong Yue had already stirred up true anger, his right hand quietly reaching for the package on the horse's belly, where a weapon was hidden. If these arrogant servants really didn't know how to behave, Dong Yue wouldn't mind letting them know what cruelty was.

  He quietly made a hand gesture, and the other guards also quietly reached for their horses' bellies. This was the real signal.

  Seeing a clash was unavoidable, other onlookers quickly dispersed.

  "Everybody stop!"

  At this time, an angry voice came in, a standoff between the two sides.

  The crowd dispersed, and a man in his thirties, dressed in green clothes, with a thin face, walked over through the crowd.

  "Seventh Master, it's Seventh Master who has arrived!" The onlookers recognized the identity of the person who had come and exclaimed in unison.

  Yang You was taken aback and did not expect to meet Du Ruhui here. Du Ruhui, the seventh in the Du family, was called Seventh Master.

  "Seventh Grandfather!"

  Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he saw Du Ruhui, for this was the famous master of the Du family, whose reputation had long preceded him. Even though Du Ruhui was now down on his luck, Du Wei still didn't dare to offend him, and instinctively lowered the club in his hand, with the other servants following suit.

  Du Ruhui saw the sticks all over the ground and his face turned black with rage, shouting: "You dare to commit violence in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of family law?"

  Family law! Upon hearing these words, others can't help but shudder. The treatment of servants by these wealthy families has always been cruel, with lighter punishments being beaten with a board and more severe ones resulting in disability or death.

  Du Wei was also pale, but he still supported himself without retreating, however his eyes involuntarily drifted towards a young master in the crowd of onlookers.

  "Oh! Isn't this Seventh Uncle? How come you're out having a good time today!"

  The young man dressed as a young master, with a strange and weird tone of voice, came before Du Ruhui.

  Yang You and Yang Jier glanced at each other, suddenly enlightened, no wonder they were blocked here, it turned out that this Du family young master was the one who had a car race with Yang Jier and was taught a lesson by Dong Yue for speaking out of turn.

  It's really a narrow road for enemies, I didn't expect him to be from the Du family.

  However, judging from his tone of speech, it seems that he doesn't get along with Du Ruhui at all, and they must have had a lot of conflicts in the past.

  "Du Zhao has come out, I told you so! Du Wei this slave doesn't have the guts to block the way of these nobles. Look at their family guards, those two BMW cars, that's who he can afford to offend."

  As soon as this was said, it immediately attracted echoes. "That's right! It turns out that Master Du is backing him up from behind! Now there's a good show to watch."

  Onlookers hope for chaos everywhere.

  "These people are going to be out of luck, these two young masters and misses aren't very big, although they're definitely from a wealthy family, but compared to the Du family of Dulang, which is a hundred-year-old aristocratic family, they still fall short."

  The onlookers, although sympathetic to Yang You and his wife, did not think they stood a chance against Du Zhao. However, Du Zhao was usually arrogant and overbearing, and everyone else was angry but dared not speak out.

  Moreover, Du Zhao was the son of the master of the Du family and was spoiled by his father, which further indulged his temperament.

  "But with Seventh Master here, it should be all right."

  "That's not necessarily true, after Seventh Master resigned from his official position, his status in the clan has plummeted, and he doesn't have much say in the matter now."

  Du Ruhui had a good reputation in his clan at ordinary times, and many people began to worry about Du Ruhui's arrival.

  "So it's Du Zhao! Do you know how much shame your actions today have brought to our family? You actually dared to order the house slaves to surround and block the guests who came to visit, is this the hospitality of the Du family?"

  After Yang You visited Du Ruhui, the Du residence saw that Yang You and his entourage were dressed in bright clothes and riding angry horses, not like ordinary people's homes. Someone had already gone to inform him earlier.

  Du Ruhui hadn't gone far, and when he came back, he was surprised to find that the two visitors were being blocked by his own family slaves, who even had a mind to use force. He hastily stepped forward to stop them.

  Du Zhao was very rude to Du Ruhui: "My affairs don't need Seventh Uncle to worry about, but since you mentioned letting the family lose face, no matter what I do, it's not as shameful as Seventh Uncle resigning and going home!"

  "You!" Du Ruhui suddenly became annoyed.
