Chapter 1004: Chapter 1006: Getting Rid of the Scum Relatives (9)

"That’s right, it’s them, they must have given us some kind of bewitching drug!"

"Bewitching drug?" Cai Wei repeated, then looked towards Madam Lian and Lady Mei, and asked, "After you two entered the room, did you give them anything to eat?"

Madam Lian cried, "Responding to Miss, you instructed us to come to clean and did not command us to prepare food for the Old Master and the Eldest Master; we servants would not dare take such liberties."

Cai Wei looked at Lady Mu Bai with a cold smile, "You’ve heard them, these girls didn’t give them anything to eat. It must be they saw no one around and seeing how pretty and lively these girls looked, they became lustful, disregarded the moral order, and committed this act that has lost face. What else can you argue? Wait till we get to the Ying Tianfu, let the Imperial Medical Institute’s physician take a look at them to see whether they have ingested anything indecent. Then there will be a verdict!"

Mu Liankui and his son, having been raised in the countryside, had never heard of such things as bewitching drugs and thought that aphrodisiacs had to be ingested through the mouth. So, when Cai Wei said this, both father and son grew fearful again.

"Enough, enough, this kind of thing isn’t good to make noise about. Let’s return to Mu Family Village!"

Mu Liankui waved his hand and then continued packing his belongings. Lady Mu Bai, seeing that getting tough would not work, wiped away tears and turned to Mu Zhongqing, "Second Brother, do you really want to see your parents go?"

Mu Zhongqing coldly said, "If you want to stay, that’s fine. Once the people from the Ying Tianfu arrive, deal with it yourself. I cannot afford to lose face like this!"

Mu Chongcai had not had his fill of this wealthy and prestigious life, and the thought of suffering again once back home made him unable to resist saying, "Uncle, it was those two who were confused and defiled your concubine; it has nothing to do with us brothers. Why don’t you let the two of us stay?"

"Hey, you unfilial descendant, I’ll beat you to death!"

Mu Liankui and Mu Zhongli were already feeling humiliated; upon hearing Mu Chongcai’s words, they instantly became enraged and grabbed Mu Chongcai to beat him.

Mu Chongcai, who already had a poor temper, dodged while shouting, "It’s all because you became lewd, dragging us down; otherwise, we’d still be enjoying good days in the Capital!"

"Enough!"

Mu Zhongqing shouted, "Now go, the people from the Ying Tianfu will be here soon. If they catch you, don’t come begging me for mercy!"

After speaking, he flung his sleeves and without turning his head, went back to the front yard.

Lady Mu Bai called out, "Ah, Second Brother, we can leave, but what about the three thousand taels of silver you promised us?"

Cai Wei laughed scornfully, "Your Ladyship sure dares to dream. The old men defiled my father’s concubine, causing him great shame, and the fact that he has not thrown you into prison is already merciful of him. And you still dare to hope for those three thousand taels of silver?"

Lady Mu Bai’s face fell with grief as she said, "Sister Wei’er, you can’t just send us off like this, can you?"

Cai Wei coldly replied, "Given all the wicked things you’ve done, I shouldn’t give you anything at all; however, considering the bit of blood relation we still have, I won’t take back the clothes and jewelry I already gave you. You can sell those for a few hundred taels of silver, which will be enough for your family to live on for a lifetime. Also, I’ll give you the horse carriage outside, along with the dim sum on it. Take the carriage and leave quickly, don’t wait for the officials to come and humiliate you!"

Mu Chongcai and Mu Chongfu felt wronged, especially after just having held those beauties, they were hardly willing to leave now. Mu Chongfu, with a drooling face, said, "Big Sister, my brother and I never wronged you; how about you just reward us with those two skinny horses then? We promise we won’t come back to bother you again."

Cai Wei thought for a moment and said, "It’s true, you two haven’t wronged me; but, since those two were bought in my father’s name and have been defiled by the old man and your father, it’s not appropriate to give them to you."

"No problem at all, we don’t mind!" Mu Chongcai and Mu Chongfu both said, patting their chests.

Cai Wei said, "Today I asked someone to buy two girls for the servants, by now they should have already returned. I’ll give those two girls to you as a reward later!"

When the first wife’s family heard they were being given people, they all agreed. Having people was great, as they could be ordered around like oxen and horses, and when money was needed, they could be sold for silver. How could they refuse something given for free?

No sooner had Cai Wei finished speaking than Huan Qiu came in and said, "Miss, the girls you asked to purchase have been brought back."

Cai Wei said, "Perfect, bring them in and give them to them to serve."

"Yes!"

Huan Qiu left and, after a while, returned with two young women of exceptional looks. Carrying bundles, they swayed their hips as they walked, graceful and charming to the extreme, captivating Mu Chongfu and Mu Chongcai’s gaze.

Cai Wei handed over the girls’ servitude contracts to Mu Chongfu and said coldly, "Alright, take these people and leave. Remember, from now on we’ll keep to our own paths. Don’t come looking for us again!"

By this point, there was nothing the first wife’s family could do but leave, heads hanging in defeat. Mu Chongcai and Mu Chongfu, having received two beauties, weren’t too upset in their hearts. After all, their second uncle was still very angry. It wouldn’t be too late for them to come back after his anger had subsided.

Lady Mu Bai and Mu Liankui thought the same. This second brother was the softest in character. Now that he was truly angry, they believed that after a year or so, when his anger would dissipate, they would return!

Fearing the government officials’ visit, the whole family hurriedly boarded the carriage and rushed away.

Huan Qiu watched the horse carriage disappearing into the distance and complained to Cai Wei, "Miss, it was not easy to find two women with syphilis. No one with the disease would want to reveal it. These two were hard for me to buy because of their condition. Although they didn’t cost much silver, because of them, people looked at me as if I were crazy for wanting to buy women with the disease!"

Cai Wei patted her on the shoulder and laughed, "You’ve worked hard. Having to disguise yourself as a man to go to the brothels, and then to seek such filthy people, you’ve indeed been wronged!"

Huan Qiu replied, "It’s nothing. I’ve long been unable to stand that family. If it weren’t for the fact that they are related by blood to you, I would’ve found it intolerable to let them live any longer in this world!"

Cai Wei laughed and said, "I’ve also been unable to stand them for a long time— which is why I’ve decided to make their lives worse than death."

The first wife’s family left with their tails between their legs. Cai Wei went back to the front yard and recounted the events to her dad and mom, omitting the part about buying and giving away people.

Mu Zhongqing was very downhearted and said nothing after hearing the account.

Fei’er indignantly said, "They got off too easy. The head jewelry and those two sets of fine clothes of my sister should have been sent to the Nursing Homes rather than given to them."

Wen’er also said, "It’s also a shame about our horse carriage and all the dim sums in it!"

Cai Wei laughed and said, "It’s not a shame at all. To gain something, you have to let go of something. Compared to the well-being of our family, what’s this small sacrifice?"
