The fight, of course, ended in a mess, it took an entire crowd of villagers to peel Lin Chen off Feng Zihang, it was as if Lin Chen was a bull that has gone mad. " I am telling you Feng Zihang you better watch what you say or else I will rip that rotten mouth of yours in half, you got it?" If Lin Chen was called names then he would have listened without batting an eye, he has gotten that used to having made fun of himself but someone making fun of Su Wan? Now that was something that wasn't acceptable at all. Especially, in front of him when he has warned the other person again and again.𝒇𝚛e𝗲𝘸e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝙚𝒍. c૦𝒎
Feng Zihang wanted to say something but he was beaten so badly that not a single word came out of his mouth, he just winced as he rubbed his jaw and just stared at Lin Chen hatefully. Now, he hoped that the plan that person came up with would really work and the Lin family will be burned alive along with that woman named Su Wan! Only then his heart would be at peace!
" Village head Luo, this ——" one of the villagers looked at Village head Luo for help but the latter waved his hand and snorted. " He deserved that, even the Emperor hates it when someone spreads superstition, who does he think he is? Is he above the law or is he above even the Emperor here?" Then the Village head turned to the Yamen officers and bowed apologetically, " I am really sorry about this, we have made a fool out of ourselves."
"It's all right," said the Yamen officers they have seen many people who maliciously tried to drag someone down when they are in trouble and were not surprised. " Just make sure that he knows when he needs to be quiet, people can easily be riled up in things like that and it might prove fatal to the rest of the village later on, okay?"
" Yes, Yes …I will take care of him," Village head Luo immediately promised as he nodded his head and looked at Feng Zihang who was having trouble standing up but was still glaring at the Lin family. He shook his head and motioned the villagers to make a move and take Feng Zihang away, " Go, take him back to his house, and get doctor Gu to treat his injuries while you are at it."
"Come, let's go home." The villagers carried Feng Zihang away from Lin Chen who was still growling and snarling at the former, they were afraid that if they were a step too late then they will be dragged into the mess as well.
Lin Yan and the rest also took Lin Chen away, while Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen helped Su Wan back home.
" Why did you stop me?" As soon as Lin Jing let go of Lin Chen, the latter shrieked his head off. " That man should have been killed and you know that don't you? I bet he wouldn't stop until he creates a mess! I should have taught him a lesson, only then he would have stopped."
" Are you out of your mind?" snapped Lin Yan as he closed the door of their house. " You attacked someone in front of the Yamen, be glad that Feng Zihang was in the wrong and they didn't pursue the matter, or else you would have been taken along with Xin Shi! What goes in that head of yours huh? Is it filled with crap or what?"
Only Lin Yan knew how scared he was when he saw Lin Chen lunge at Feng Zihang, he was sure that if Village head Luo hadn't said those words and shifted the blame to Feng Zihang then Lin Chen might have been dragged into the mess as well. It was a good thing that Village head Luo was a smart man and knew how to play fair or else —— Lin Yan shook his head.
" What do you mean? Should I have let him insult my wife like that? Did you not hear what he said? How can you all stay so calm after hearing what toxicity he spouted against our wife, he called her a witch!" Lin Chen was understandingly very upset and couldn't listen to any sense of what his second brother was telling him.
" We are not calm," said Lin Yu crossly. " But we can't just attack a man in front of the officers, you could have turned the situation around for Feng Zihang and he could have turned into a victim from the culprit, do you know that? And it would have been all because you made a misjudged action! We are furious as well but we aren't stupid enough to believe that we can just beat someone like that, you are lucky that the Village head was willing to speak up for you or else it would have been troublesome for all of us!"
When Lin Yu snapped at Lin Chen the latter calmed down a little bit but he was still panting like a raging wolf as if he wanted to smash into something and destroy it until nothing was left.
"All right," said Lin Jing as he noticed the tension that was running high among everyone in the house and calmly dictated, " Yan go and take Wan Wan to your room and let her take some rest until the morning, Chen you should go around the courtyard and take a run until you are calm enough, if not you can chop the firewood until your anger calms down all right? Yu and I will stay with you until you are done."
Of course, no one said anything against the head of the family, as Lin Jing ordered them. Lin Yan turned to Su Wan and helped her back to the room, though Su Wan looked shocked, she was at least all right when compared to Lin Chen who was now swinging his axe as if he was chopping someone's neck.
