Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Self-sacrifice to save others (5)_1

After a few months of torment, Mu Chongcai’s strength has diminished considerably and he is no match for Jiujin. Now, he only has no option but to withstand the blows.

Mu Zhongli and Lady Li, having seen their son being beaten without cause, hurriedly came to his aid. Along with Mu Chongfu, the family united as one to fight against Jiujin, infuriating Zhou Laowu and Aunt Zhou to the point that their noses almost released smoke.

That damn Eldest Brother Mu, leading his family to assault their precious son, did they think Old Zhou’s home didn’t have people to protect it?

Zhou Laowu and Aunt Zhou readied themselves, with a whirlwind-like energy, they joined the brawl.

Cai Wei had intentionally set Jiujin up to fight Mu Chongcai, planning to separate him and prevent him from opposing Yu Lizheng.

In a few days, she would be leaving, and at first glance, it was clear that Yu Lizheng was narrow-minded and petty. If Jiujin angered him, and if he sought to trouble the Zhou Family or trouble Jiujin after her departure, wouldn’t that be her fault?

So she decided to prevent Jiujin from clashing with the government officials. If he enjoyed fighting, then let him fight with the people of the main house. Yu Lizheng and these ordinary soldiers were left for her handle.

This time when she fought, Cai Wei didn’t use as much force as before. The thugs earlier harbored evil intentions and deserved what they received, but these soldiers were different. They were only following orders and were not truly sinning. Hence, their punishments were kept to a minimal extent.

These soldiers surrounding Cai Wei had already seen her skills and were genuinely frightened. Because it wasn’t easy to disobey Yu Lizheng’s orders, they had to bite the bullet and fight Cai Wei. However, they were all cautious during the fight, quickly playing injured and collapsing to the ground whenever Cai Wei made a move. As a result, they were all defeated by her in no time.

Yu Lizheng dared to be aggressive with Cai Wei mainly because he was a public servant surviving on the imperial grain. He didn’t expect Cai Wei dare to oppose the government officials. Witnessing Cai Wei’s disregard for the office, even defeating all his men, he was immediately at a loss for ideas and became afraid.

You...you...how dare you defy the government office. As long as you...."

"I give you the count of three!"

Cai Wei interrupted him, leisurely extending three fingers, "If you don’t disappear from my sight during this countdown, your fate will be the same as theirs...."

Finishing her statement, her scrutinizing gaze swept over the disabled thugs.

"One...."

"Two...."

Before she could say ’three’, Yu Lizheng had already turned and fled, looking like a wolf was hot on his heels!

"Hahaha...."

The onlookers couldn’t help but break into a roar of laughter. Yu Lizheng’s image, which he had boasted for over a decade in Qingyun Town, collapsed in an instant, leaving only a trail of laughter.

Cai Wei lowered her gaze, her shoulders shaking slightly as she suppressed her laughter. This blustering man was a mere scarecrow! She’d been completely wrong to treat him as a worthy opponent!

While this area around Cai Wei had quieted, Aunt Zhou’s side was in a heated brawl. Aunt Zhou and Lady Li were embroiled in a fight; Lady Li was hit so hard by Aunt Zhou’s rolling pin that she was practically crying out in pain and was disoriented. Uncle Zhou and Mu Zhongli were grabbing each other’s collars clawing at each other, both injured but neither willing to concede; Mu Chongcai and Mu Chongfu were both fighting against Jiujin but were making no headway; instead, they were gradually losing ground.

Seeing that the fight had broken out amongst the people, An Ziyi was so anxious that she was twirling her handkerchief and kept crying, "Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
