Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Mu Zhongqing’s Attitude Second Watch (2)_1

Cai Wei sneered, "I want to see who this evildoer is who dares to scheme against me? What does he want to do?"

Huo Yuan, struggling to get up, said, "In that case, I’ll go with you!"

He had just recovered from his poisoning, which made it hard for him to move. Therefore, Cai Wei tactfully refused him. Regardless of how stubbornly she refused, Huo Yuan was adamant about accompanying her. Having no choice and also worried about her father, she agreed.

At this moment, Huo Yuan was still very weak. Just the short distance from the Baohe Hall to the carriage left him pale and exhausted!

Once settled in the carriage, Cai Wei gratefully glanced at him and asked, "Are you alright?"

Huo Yuan gave a faint smile without answering her question directly, "Wei’er, I am very pleased that you care for me!"

Seeing that he was still in the mood to jest, it seemed that his health was not a major concern. Thus, she didn’t pay further attention to him, and instead, shifted her focus onto the person plotting against her. Every now and again, she would sneak a peek outside of the carriage, wondering who had such an idle life to deceive her in this freezing weather?

However, no suspicious individuals made an appearance all the way to ’Apricot Flower Village.’ When Cai Wei and Huo Yuan entered the village, they indeed saw Mu Zhongqing and a group of others. They were arguing heatedly in a corner downstairs.

It seemed the letter carrier had not lied. Her father had indeed been beaten, his hair disheveled and half of his face bruised, even his lips were swollen. The new silken robe he had bought was ripped like a tattered fishnet, the shreds hanging loosely on his body, giving a wretched look.

"You beast who forgets Mom once you have a wife, just because you have some money in your hand, you don’t recognize your ancestors and parents? If you dare to move out of the house, I swear to God, I’ll break your leg!"

"Second brother, even as your elder brother, I should advise you. You have become so stupidly anxious just for a couple of sluts, even giving up on our ancestral foundation. How can you face our ancestral ancestors of the Mu family?"

"If you leave, uncle, grandfather and grandmother will definitely accuse you of being disobedient and unfilial at the County Government Office. At that time, it won’t just be your reputation that’s ruined, the reputation of my two younger brothers will be destroyed along with you..."

The main house family spoke righteously, employing both soft and hard tactics. Mu Zhongqing sat there, unresponsive to their words.

With his persistent and firm attitude, completely unlike the obedient scholar son he had always been, it left the old Master furious. Just as he raised his hand to slap him again, he caught sight of Cai Wei nearby, which caused him to freeze.

"You, bea,st."

His face distorted with rage, he pointed at Cai Wei threateningly, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

The three men of the Mu Zhongli family turned to see what was wrong with Mu Liankui. Upon seeing Cai Wei, they all jumped up in shock, causing quite a stir.

"Beast, you have the audacity to face us?"

Mu Zhongli roared as he picked up the stool beneath his butt, aggressively rushing towards Cai Wei. Mu Chongfu and Mu Chongcai followed suit, one grabbing a liquor bottle and the other clenching his fist, charging behind Mu Zhongli.

With great alarm, Mu Zhongqing jumped up to block Mu Zhongli, "Big Brother, no, absolutely not——"

"Screw you!"

Mu Zhongli shook off his arm and pushed Mu Zhongqing far away. Having just recovered from a serious illness, Mu Zhongqing was weak. After falling, he couldn’t stand up for quite some time.

Seeing her father fall and the fact that no one helped him up, Cai Wei’s pupils constricted and her eyes suddenly hardened.

Almost instantly, Mu Zhongli sprinted over with the stool. His eyes were red as he smashed towards Cai Wei, "You beast, who belittles the ancestors——"
