Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Magnanimous Gentleman(6)_1

The room Xiao Huoji chose for Huo Yuan was right next to Lady Yin’s. The room was clean and tidy, with the charcoal basin already burning brightly warm like spring by the time Huo Yuan was moved in.

Xiao Huoji and the coachman worked together to place Huo Yuan on the kang. Cai Wei covers him with two thick blankets and orders Xiao Huoji to boil a pot of burning hot water for him to drink when he wakes up.

After setting Huo Yuan up, Cai Wei instructs the coachman to watch over him for now, while she goes off to the Li mansion alone.

Her father, Uncle Cao, and the County Magistrate An are still at the Li mansion. She needs to bring them home, and if County Magistrate Li dares to harm them in any way, she intends to give him a lesson he’ll never forget!

As for the matter of Young Master Huo and her being drugged, she’ll have to find time to settle that score too!

...

At this moment, the Li mansion was in chaos, turned upside down!

Li Jingui, the eldest son, was left bloody and covered in wounds by a suddenly-appeared parrot. His wounds, where the parrot had clawed at him, were eerily deep. He was so injured all over his body that bones were visible. The pampered young master, unable to bear the pain, passed out crying.

The situation with the Third Young Lady was not much better!

Poor girl, her flawless skin like white satin was horribly burned by the flames, and her body was covered in scorched wound marks, even her most private places had been burnt.

Although Li Jinzhi had woken up, she had already completely collapsed upon seeing her own state. She cried and wailed, contemplating suicide!

County Magistrate Li was beating his chest with remorse. Despite his careful plans and calculations, he never expected this outcome.

He didn’t think his daughter would embarrass him like that. Huo Yuan was obviously drugged with the most powerful aphrodisiac, yet she couldn’t seduce him even when she was naked. She ended up looking like this and even got her brother into trouble. Now she was severely burned, he assumed that Huo Yuan might spare him out of sympathy. But now, with his son bullying Huo Yuan’s woman, things probably wouldn’t be that simple.

He had heard about Huo Yuan’s character, magnanimous and upright, rarely making enemies. However, once he did, they were enemies till death!

To offend him was to offend the Huo Family and the Virtuous Consort. Even with ten times his courage, he wouldn’t dare!

Madam Li and Lady Wang wept and lamented, cursing the mysterious parrot and the clumsy servants who couldn’t even defeat a bird, eventually allowing it to flee triumphantly.

She didn’t say it out loud, but she also blamed her son for not behaving. Instead of accompany people to dinner, he ran off and aimed for Huo Yuan’s woman. Was Huo Yuan’s woman someone he could mess with?

She also blamed herself for being clumsy and not noticing the abnormality. When she saw her daughter faint, she thought she was drunk, and thus had her carried off. How could she have known that her son planned all this, not only failing to harm others, but also making himself look like this? Now, they had made a big enemy in Huo Yuan. What were they to do in the future?

Aunt Bian cried even harder. The eldest son was injured, but he was still the legitimate heir of the Li household. Once he recovered, he would still marry and have children. But what about her daughter? With her body so badly burnt, especially at the most important place for her own woman, how could she get married in the future? Even if her father forced a marriage, how could she be loved or cherished by her husband? If one day her father dies, her daughter’s future would be miserable. Thinking about this, she cried even harder!

"Wu Wu... Old Master, you have to support Jinzhi, this Young Master Huo is so vicious. Even if he doesn’t like our Jinzhi, he could just let her go. How could he ruin her like this? How can she live like this..."

County Magistrate Li was already trying to avoid Huo Yuan, so how would he dare to look for trouble with him? Hearing his mistress’s constant complaints, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed. He reprimanded angrily, "Isn’t your precious daughter to blame? She couldn’t even seduce him when she stripped herself naked. If she had lured Huo Yuan successfully, would we be in this situation? If I had known she was this useless, I would not have risked our Li family for her!"
