Chapter 1870: What's Wrong with Being Older?

Lu Sanzhu smirked, grabbing Chen Bing and delivering a kick.

Chen Bing was no match for the physically strong Lu Sanzhu due to his older age. After being hit twice, he quickly rolled to the side, yelling all the while, "Who are you? I have no grudge against you. Why are you hitting me? Stop, don't hit me!"

Lu Sanzhu paid no attention; he just wanted to vent his anger.

The Pan family's courtyard immediately descended into chaos. While the Pan family had a number of people, they were all weaklings, incapable of opposing the Lu family's side. The situation quickly became one-sided.

Pan's elder brother-in-law stood on the side, stamping his feet and shouting, "Stop it, all of you, stop it! Who are these ruffians? They've gone too far, coming to our house to cause trouble."

However, with no eyes in their fists, he didn't dare approach. Seeing the neighbors at the gate watching, he quickly pleaded for help, "Someone please help us, these people are like bandits and robbers, they might kill someone. Help!"

The neighbors exchanged glances, and someone with quick wits turned and ran outside, intending to find patrolling officials for help. However, she quickly realized that there had been no sign of patrolling officials around for quite some time.

Some well-intentioned neighbors wanted to enter the Pan family's courtyard to help, but they were blocked by Xia Yan, who was standing at the gate.

He smiled and said, "This is a personal conflict. It's better for everyone not to get involved. Otherwise, it might lead to injuries, as violence has no boundaries."

"But you're really bullying them. How can you come to someone's house and start a fight? Just what did the Pan family do to provoke you?"

Xia Yan replied, "We haven't laid a hand on the Pan family. We only want to deal with Chen Bing from start to finish."

He even stepped aside, allowing the people to see the scene inside.

Upon seeing this, the neighbors realized that they were indeed targeting only Chen Bing. Although the other members of the Pan and Chen families were blocked, the Lu family members were only restraining them.

This, this...

"This Chen family's master is quite old. Is it really okay to beat him like this? Have you truly lost all sense of morality, openly killing someone?"

As soon as this neighbor finished speaking, she felt a strong gaze directed at her from behind.

Startled, she turned her head and saw the young lady still standing by the carriage.

Shu Yu smiled at her and said, "What's wrong with being older? Does being older excuse someone from doing wrong? Would that mean older criminals could be acquitted? Do the imperial authorities free older criminals simply because of their age?"

"I... I didn't mean that."

Shu Yu continued, "Then what did you mean?"

"What I meant was, you should at least explain yourselves first. Perhaps there's a misunderstanding in between?"

As he spoke, he noticed that both Grandma Lu and Fang Huaxian were looking at him. He suddenly lost his confidence and his voice grew weaker.

Unexpectedly, Shu Yu nodded in agreement, "You're right."

Finally, she took action, guiding the elderly lady towards the Pan family's gate.

The Pan family members continued to shout indignantly, struggling and cursing, "There's no law left! They're killing people! How can a group of bandits and robbers break into our house and harm us in broad daylight?"

Meanwhile, Chen Bing was wailing and clutching his head, lying on the ground as Lu Sanzhu continued to pummel him.

"Third Uncle, that's enough," Shu Yu called out. Lu Sanzhu stopped and spat at Chen Bing.

"You got off easy." He hadn't finished venting his anger yet.
