Reincarnation: Rogue Husband Here

C3 – Farce

Everyone was taken aback as they looked at a shocked Lee Su. It seemed they never anticipated he would take such bold action publicly, leaving the entire room in stunned silence.

Lin Yuxing appeared unsurprised by the turn of events. Swiftly lowering his head, he used his younger brother’s momentum to land a powerful kick with his uninjured foot. “Ah…!” Li Fu Lang toppled to the ground, resembling a dog taking a tumble.

“Aiyo!” “Ah Yao Li, that wasn’t intentional,” Lin Yuxing said with a soft chuckle, his eyes gleaming with a chilling glint. Had he not been seasoned by the apocalypse, he might have been at a disadvantage.

“Pei pei pei…! You…” Lee Su began, trying to spit out the grit from his mouth. But before he could finish, Lin Yuxing silenced him.

“Respected Village Head, Li Xiang Yu conspires against me, and this Ah Yao Li seeks to harm me. Shouldn’t he be handed over to the authorities?” Lin Yuxing inquired calmly.

Report to the authorities? No one imagined that Lin of the Lin Family would be so bold. He not only terminated his engagement with Li Xiang Yu but also exposed Li Xiang Yu’s covert visit to his room. Everyone wondered why he chose to reveal this when it seemed he had something to hide.

Li Xiangyu was caught off guard by the sudden developments. He was not one to simply resign to fate, so he fervently searched for the right words to defend himself.

Lee Su was known for his sharp tongue, but he was not one for bold actions. The mention of “officials” unnerved him. However, recalling his prospective son-in-law’s status, he retorted defiantly, “Fool! We ended the engagement with that outsider, and now you accuse him unjustly? Defend my son’s honor!”

Lin Yuxing was slightly taken aback that Li Fu Lang had some semblance of wit, but he had already considered a response. “I am innocent, and if Li Xiang Yu wishes to speak, let’s take this matter before the Old Master.” He was confident they couldn’t evade justice given the overwhelming evidence and witnesses.

A bystander advised Lin Yuxing, “Brother Lin, by involving the authorities, you’ve now painted yourself as the wronged party. If you wish for a resolution, perhaps it’s best to let the matter rest.”

No sooner had he finished his words than others turned their attention to him. Lin Yuxing’s Ah Yao promptly retorted, “Ah, so it’s Ah Yao Min. Didn’t your brother marry into Lee Village?”

Recognizing the implication, Lin Yuxing responded swiftly, “Ah Yao Min, I might appear weak, but I’m resilient. If not for my father’s protection, I would’ve faced ruin.”

The village chief, stroking his beard, acknowledged Lin Yuxing’s statement and said, “If that’s the case, we should involve the officials.” His own reputation didn’t matter to him; he would seek justice if the village chief needed it.

However, before any further actions could be taken, the village teachers interjected, “Village Head, this scandal has spread far. Do our village brothers still hope to find brides?” While Lin Yuxing might disregard his reputation, they couldn’t.

Lin Yuxing was taken aback. How did his issue relate to the other brothers? But judging from the villagers’ expressions, it was evident that the situation was far from ideal.

“Lin Yuxing! Go to the authorities, and request the elder to have you executed!” declared Lee Su confidently, “My future son-in-law is kin to a top official in the capital city!”

Yet Lin Yuxing wasn’t convinced. “Is that so? I suspect your son-in-law might turn against you first!”

The village chief exchanged a heavy glance with Lin Yuxing, who then proclaimed emphatically, “What’s this? Village head, my fellow villagers, are you all trying to suppress the Lin Family?”

“Lin Yuxing, return home! Don’t shame yourself further!” Out of the blue, an elderly Ah Yao emerged from a courtyard, leaning on someone for support, as he voiced his displeasure.

Recognizing the elder, Lin Yuxing remarked sarcastically, “Grandmother, since you’ve already banished me, now I’ll take the lead!”
