Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Mu Zhongqing’s Attitude Second Watch (3)_1

Huo Yuan, seeing the situation, stepped forward like an arrow and instinctively positioned himself in front of Cai Wei, enveloping her head with his hands.

Cai Wei didn’t expect him to react this way. Since his poisoning was just resolved, his body was exceptionally weak. If he were hit directly, he would probably lose half of his life!

In her surprise, her heart warmed, she followed his motion and hugged his waist, she spun around in a swift motion, moving to his front and sending a powerful kick towards the wrist of the person lifting the stool.

"Ouch——"

Mu Zhongli held onto his injured wrist, startled. The stool he was holding dropped, falling directly onto his body.

Mu Zhongli, with an injured wrist and having been hit by the stool, furiously yelled at his sons, "Fu’er, Cai’er, quickly, capture that little beast! Implement the family law."

"No, don’t——"

Mu Zhongqing struggled to his feet, pushing through the gathering crowd, shouting and stumbling towards his daughter.

Mu Zhongli forcefully dragged him back, pushing him lightly. Watching his own daughter being bullied by his father and brother, Mu Zhongqing turned red with anger and disregarded everything, grappling with Mu Zhongli. The two brothers tangled together, rolling into one...

Soon after Mu Chongcai and Mu Chongfu stormed over, they aggressively started their attacks, one attempted to grab Cai Wei’s hair, the other tried to twist her arm.

In Cai Wei’s eyes, Mu Chongcai and Mu Chongfu were no more than insignificant cockroaches, creatures she could crush with a single swipe of her hand, utterly inconsequential.

Seeing them raise their hands to her, Cai Wei shouted, "Young Master Huo, step aside——"

As soon as she finished speaking, she shielded Huo Yuan, narrowly avoided the attacks from the two men, and quickly seized the wrist of her older cousin Mu Chongfu and slammed it onto the table.

Before Mu Chongfu could understand what was happening, she had already pulled the gold hairpin that was tied to Huo Yuan’s hair and fiercely jabbed it downward ——

"Ah——"

Mu Chongfu released a heart-wrenching scream; his hand had been pierced and was nailed to the table. Bright red blood seeped from the punctured wound and flowed out.

"Oh, it hurts —— it hurts——"

He howled in pain, even started crying without any semblance of courage left.

"Rebellion, this is rebellion," Mu Liankui exclaimed, "This lawless beast, hitting her uncle and attacking her brothers, does she still respect the traditional virtues of a family? Honorable guests, who can lend me a hand in taking this savage to the county office to charge her for the crime of rebellion against her family."

After shouting for a while and seeing no one responding, the old man hurried to save his precious grandson.

Mu Chongcai, having witnessed Cai Wei’s skills, was momentarily stunned. A flicker of fear crossed his eyes but the towering hatred eventually buried his fear. He spat fiercely into his palm, "Damn little slut, don’t be so arrogant, wait till I cripple you today, then I’ll sell you to a brothel, to be used by a thousand, trampled by tens of thousands...."

Cai Wei responded with a cold smile and a clenched jaw, "You think you can?"

During her soft laughter, her delicate hand had caught his that was holding the pig slaughtering knife. Mu Chongcai found Cai Wei’s hand to be supple and seemingly boneless, which caused his mind to momentarily blur, forgetting about his rage.

However, just in that instant of a trance, he suddenly heard a ’crack’!

He saw that his own four fingers were all being bent backward, twisting unnaturally.

"Ah, my hand, my hand——"

Clutching his maimed hand, Mu Chongcai screamed, drenched in a cold sweat from the pain...

Mu Zhongqing had already separated from Mu Zhongli. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, choosing to silently stand aside and watch his so-called relatives’ disgraceful behavior, and decided to let go of the matter.

After all, he had tried to mediate but was ignored because they were self-important. They thought his daughter was easy to bully, so they eagerly courted death. Since they insisted on seeking their own demise, why should he bother to play the good guy?

Let them come. Let Wei’er deal with them one by one to show them who they were messing with, so they’ll think twice about bullying them in the future.

Indeed, the spectacle of Cai Wei’s prowess had left both Mu Zhongli and Mu Liankui stunned. The two exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.

Cai Wei looked at them with scorn, asking lazily, "Anyone else want to deal with me?"

After posing the question, she was startled by her own tone and attitude. They felt strangely reminiscent of... a certain evildoer?

The dignity of elder Mu Liankui was challenged, and he shakily pointed at Cai Wei, "You...you... beast... evil barrier... dare to defy your elders?"

Cai Wei raised her brow and responded coldly: "Elder? Who is the elder? You? Do you even qualify? Who was it that came to my house when we were out of fuel and beat and smashed our belongings, forcing my mother to give up her retirement money, causing her to cut and sell her hair?"

"Who was it that coveted the money we made from selling wild boars and gathered their whole family to rob my house?"

"And who was it who incited Butcher Zhang to go to town and make a pass at my mother, attempting to tarnish our reputation?"

Cai Wei’s voice got louder with each question.

"After all the evil deeds you’ve done, you still have the audacity to adopt the position of an elder before me? Aren’t you ashamed? If I’d known you’re still the same old human-faced beasts, I wouldn’t have bothered to bail you out of jail. You should’ve been made to rot there!"

With her sharp ridicule, Mu Liankui was left speechless. He trembled for a moment before shifting his gaze towards the silent Mu Zhongqing. Throttling his voice, he exploded, "Zhongqing, your daughter is rebelling, aren’t you going to do something?"

Mu Zhongqing responded indifferently: "I tried to mediate just now, but no one listened. Now you’re asking me to step in again. How should I do that?"

His words indicated his obvious bias towards his daughter. This had angered Mu Liankui, who was left panting heavily.

"Fine then. Okay. Now that you’ve grown wings and refuse to listen to your old man, I will go back to Mu Family Village tomorrow, call a clan meeting, and have your unfilial and disrespectful branch removed from the genealogy."

Cai Wei laughed, "That would be great. Why don’t you go back now and start the meeting, punishing us accordingly? That would certainly get a load off my mind!"

"Zhongqing, is this what you’re thinking too?" Mu Liankui roared, angrily glaring at his son.

Mu Zhongqing responded woodenly, "Of course I don’t want to be removed from the clan, but if my father insists on doing so, I have no choice but to comply!"

"So... you... you..."

Before Mu Liankui could finish his sentence, his eyes rolled back in his head, and he fainted!
