However, the people on the first floor guessed wrong. The young man did go home to file a complaint. However, the head of the Song family was worried about his eldest son Song Ming and could not take care of his youngest son. Therefore, after listening to the guard's words, he just told him not to cause trouble and nothing happened there.
In the west courtyard, a beautiful woman was looking at the jewelry sent from the jewelry shop. She picked up a necklace and asked her maid to put it on her. After looking at the effect, she heard the sounds of kicking and cursing coming from outside.
"Go and see what's going on." The beautiful woman said slowly. Her voice was soft and gentle, like a gentle and delicate beauty, and her face and figure were indeed like that. Even though she was in her thirties, she looked like a woman in her twenties.
This beautiful woman is the second wife of the Song family.
"Madam, it was the Third Young Master who was sulking outside. I don't know who beat him up, and his face is covered with wounds. I wanted to apply medicine to him, but he wouldn't let me."
"Being beaten?"
The second wife was startled, put down the jewelry in her hand, stood up and walked out. When she came to the courtyard, she saw her son's face was covered with bruises. She couldn't help but stepped forward with heartache: "Who is so bold? How dare you beat you like this? Quick, bring the medicine and apply it to the third young master."
"I don't want it!" He pushed the second wife away and said angrily, "I don't want to apply the medicine!"
"If you are injured, you have to apply medicine. How can you not apply medicine? Don't be angry. Come on, mother will apply it for you." She looked at her son with heartache, took the medicine handed to her by the maid, and was about to apply it on him.
"I won't apply it! I won't apply it!" He angrily pushed the medicine in the second wife's hand to the ground and broke it.
Seeing this, the Second Madam showed a trace of worry on her delicate face and asked, "Then tell me, who beat you? Did your eldest brother drag you to the martial arts training ground and beat you like this again?"
"It's not him! It's two brats. They beat me up and asked me to pay compensation to the inn. I can't swallow this, but dad said he had to take care of my eldest brother's affairs and told me not to cause trouble and wouldn't stand up for me." He said hatefully, with resentment in his eyes.
No matter how much his father dotes on him, he is never as much as his elder brother. His affairs will never be as important as his elder brother's, just because he is a concubine's son and because his mother is not the wife of the head of the Song family.
Hearing this, the second wife's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly: "Since your father has said so, you should stop thinking about it, so as not to make your father unhappy."
"My eldest brother is always causing trouble outside, but dad has never said anything to him. If my eldest brother was bullied outside, dad would stand up for him." He said angrily, clenching his fists tightly. The more he thought about it, the harder it was to let it go.
"Don't always try to compete with your eldest brother. Your eldest brother is the legitimate son, and your father has his reasons for valuing him. Just say these words here, and don't say them outside so that others can hear. Otherwise, your father and eldest brother will be unhappy if they know."
She patted his hand and said, "Okay, go back first! Don't mention this matter anymore."
"But… "
"Go!" She gestured and called two people to take him back to the courtyard. After he left, she sat in the courtyard with a faint light in her autumn eyes and said, "Call the guards who went out with the third young master today."
