Chapter 142: Sister Kun is Awesome!

Two young men emerged from the crowd, dressed in such ostentatious finery that their robes were stitched with gold thread, and even their hair crowns were gilded. It seemed they felt it beneath their dignity to step outside without wearing a touch of gold.

Neither lacked in looks, fitting the mold of quintessential pampered sons. One wore an expression of disdain, while the other appeared composed. The one with the sneer was Ye Shaolong, the youngest son of the Ye family from Ankang Prefecture. His father, Ye Zhao, had sired him late in life and spoiled him rotten, molding him into a textbook example of a dissolute dandy. Beside him stood You Liangxuan, son of the You family of Ankang.

They were birds of a feather. And those who preferred to hide their true nature were often the most cunning.

"Young Master Long, Young Master You," the surrounding young men bowed and greeted them one after another. After all, the Ye and You families held significant influence in Ankang Prefecture. Because both families possessed main branches in the capital, others naturally felt a tier below them.

Ye Kun did not recognize these two, but they were clearly here to stir up trouble. Especially this "Young Master Long"—the name was somewhat imposing. But was it more imposing than Brother Kun? Obviously not.

Before Ye Kun could speak, Feng Dian immediately blurted out, "Where did these two young masters come from?! How dare you shout in front of Brother Kun? Do you know nothing of manners? Why haven't you begged Brother Kun for mercy yet?"

Ye Kun felt that Feng Dian had played his part perfectly; the provocation was absolute, though it mattered little to him.

"Exactly! You're disturbing Sister-in-law Kun's rest. What are you looking at? Stop glaring! Brother Kun, show him!"

After Feng Dian and Yuan Zhen finished their shouting, they immediately retreated behind Ye Kun. Ye Kun’s expression was one of exasperation: (￢＿￢). You two really are the masters of talking big and acting small.

Ye Shaolong suddenly chuckled, which then escalated into a loud laugh. "Brother Kun? A 'Brother Kun' from the countryside? Aren't you ashamed to stand here? I’m ashamed just looking at you."

"Who are you?" Ye Qin asked coldly.

"Me? I am Ye Shaolong of the Ye family! You two are disgraces to the family, blackening our name!"

"Young Master Long, calm down. They are just children," You Liangxuan said, patting Ye Shaolong on the shoulder. The two were in perfect, practiced sync.

"You!" Ye Qin looked ready to lunge into a fight, but Ye Kun pressed a hand on his shoulder. This Ye Shaolong looked arrogant, clearly trying to bait them into a brawl. If they fought now, the academy would certainly refuse to admit them.

At that moment, Yan Mu'er, who was in Ye Kun’s arms, seemed to grow impatient. *Damned human! Buzzing in my ear like a fly!*

Yan Mu'er revealed her face, which had been hidden against Ye Kun's chest.

Most of those gathered were young men; when had they ever seen such a girl? Her eyes were breathtakingly beautiful. She was so stunning that it was suffocating; their minds were filled with nothing but that face, plunging them into a state of obsession.

However, Yan Mu'er’s expression was less than pleasant. She walked up to the stunned Ye Shaolong and raised her small hand.

*Smack!*

With a single slap, she sent Ye Shaolong sprawling to the ground!

It was too sudden! Everyone was stunned, Ye Kun included. Was this still the gentle Yan Mu'er? Perhaps this was the true Yan Mu'er! It turned out she shared the same temperament as Mother, and had only been playing the part of a demure girl until now...

And little Li'er in his arms... If Father was already in hot water with just Mother, he would surely be dead if he had two like them.

You Liangxuan hadn't expected such a beautiful girl to strike someone! And she had done it so cleanly and decisively! It was over; he was already bewitched by the girl before him. Was this the feeling of falling in love?

Ye Qin truly hadn't expected his sister-in-law to be so violent—exactly like his mother, not even blinking when she struck someone. Dong Ci and Da Ci were full of admiration for their teacher’s wife; as expected of their master’s woman, her actions were extraordinary.

"Sister-in-law Kun is awesome!"
"Well hit, Sister-in-law Kun!"

Yuan Zhen and Feng Dian began to cheer. They hadn't expected Brother Kun to be impressive, but Sister-in-law Kun was even more so...

Ye Kun was currently wondering how to clean up this mess. With that slap, they were surely not getting into the academy now.

"Sister Mu'er, how could you hit someone? That's not right~" Ye Li, who had been quiet until now, turned to look over.

Everyone’s gaze shifted to Ye Li, and they gasped again! What kind of good deeds had this bald guy done in his past life to have two such girls by his side? The mere thought of the bald guy holding two women in his arms made them seethe with jealousy... and when they thought about the night, they burned even more. Such girls were meant to be admired from afar, never to be defiled. And this bald guy was surely... an enemy of the people! An enemy of the people!

Ye Kun noticed the shift in his fellow students and sighed slightly. Pretty girls were indeed magnets for trouble, just as his father had said.

Yan Mu'er looked at the face-clutching Ye Shaolong and suddenly remembered her persona... What to do... She was panicking... She had just been annoyed and hadn't thought it through... Not killing him with one slap was already a display of restraint on her part.

"Husband~ Was I too violent just now?" Yan Mu'er ran up to Ye Kun, acting coy and pouting.

Heaven, seeing such a girl act this way! Every young man’s heart was on the verge of exploding! What kind of spell had this bald guy cast to make such a girl so infatuated? *Trust Brother Kun, keep your head shaved, and you can do it too~*

"Not at all, it was fine." Ye Kun looked into those watery blue eyes and instantly felt at ease. Which man could resist a beautiful girl acting spoiled, unless he was indifferent to women?

The crowd was shocked. You call that not violent? A slap had landed squarely on someone’s face! Did she have to run him through to be considered violent?

"Husband, I'm sorry. Did I cause trouble for you?"

*I, Ye Kun, find life so difficult.*

"You didn't cause any trouble. You did well, Mu'er." Ye Kun naturally wouldn't blame his wife; after all, that slap had served to vent his own frustrations too.

The surrounding students were stunned once more. This bald guy actually brought his wife to the academy! Did he not know that would end in misery? *Be careful of getting your own face slapped.*

You Liangxuan helped the grounded Ye Shaolong up. Ye Shaolong stared blankly at Yan Mu'er, forgetting the pain in his face. Yan Mu'er hated that look; she wanted to crush those dog eyes.

"Is Sister-in-law Kun someone you can just stare at!" Feng Dian had essentially switched his loyalty from Brother Kun to Sister-in-law Kun. He couldn't help it; she was just too cool.

At Feng Dian’s shout, the two young masters snapped out of their stupor.

"Could this lady be Yan Mu'er of the Yan family in the capital?" You Liangxuan appeared very well-bred, his gestures and etiquette perfectly executed.

Yan Mu'er of the capital was incredibly famous. Though they hadn't seen her in person, the name "Yan Mu'er" had long circulated among the nobility. Many young masters had wanted to catch a glimpse of her, but never had the opportunity. To think they would see her here today... The rumors were true; she was truly beautiful!

"Please address me as Madame Ye."
