Chapter 719: Chapter 719: Warm Home (5)_1

Cai Wei asked coldly, her eyes gradually filling with chill.

Huo Yuan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke, "Du Baocai is the eldest grandson of the main branch of the Du family, and the eldest son of Du Yu Lang. He is already eleven years old this year and studies in Duke An’s Mansion’s Family School with Wen’er!"

He had thoroughly investigated the situation of the Du family when he had arranged for Cai Wei to enter Duke An’s Mansion, so he had some understanding of this eldest grandson of the main branch.

"The eldest son of Du Yu Lang!"

Cai Wei laughed, her voice cold, "Indeed, like father, like son. It seems that I should pay a visit to this cousin of mine!"

She had previously taught Du Yu Lang a lesson because of his lustful and hedonistic behavior. She had only lightly punished him and hadn’t thought of taking his life, but now it seems she was wrong. This kind of beast that won’t even spare children for his own grudge does not deserve to live in this world!

And his darling son, who is so cruel at such a young age. If he grows up, he won’t be any good either. It’s better to eliminate such a scourge sooner rather than later, to avoid harming the people of the world in future!

Wu’er, fuming in anger, said: "Du Baocai is the worst! He often bullies us, calling us an inferior breed. That day, he originally intended to hit me. Brother Wen was injured while trying to protect me. If the teacher hadn’t rushed out in time, they might have beaten us to death!"

"There’s something like this!"

Cai Wei was furious, her clear eyes unusually ablaze. She stood up, sat back down in her chair, and looked solemnly at the two children.

"What exactly happened? Tell me everything about that day."

Upon hearing Older Sister’s query, Wen’er and Wu’er eagerly recounted the events of that day. Cai Wei’s fists nearly shattered as she listened, almost grinding a mouthful of silver teeth.

It turned out that that day in school, the teacher had to leave for a while. Du Baocai took advantage of this opportunity to scold Wen’er and Wu’er, calling them inferior breeds and thieves. He accused them of stealing from Duke An’s Mansion even though the mansion had kindly taken them in.

Wen’er and Wu’er were indignant and quarreled with him. Du Baocai, feeling insulted, kicked Wu’er to the floor and then rode on him, beating him wildly.

As a brother, Wen’er wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. He went over and grappled with Du Baocai, trying to help Wu’er. But Du Baocai’s two schoolboys rushed in and beat Wen’er to the ground. Du Baocai then picked up the ink slab and struck Wen’er on the head, smashing his head open.

Still not satisfied, Du Baocai attempted to strike again with the ink slab. Luckily, the teacher returned just in time to save Wen’er’s life. Wu’er was also hurt, but his injuries were not as severe as Wen’er’s. For these few days, both children had been recuperating at home....

After hearing the children’s account, Cai Wei felt her liver trembling with heartache. The thought of little Wu’er being ridden and beaten by Du Baocai, and Wen’er nearly beaten to death, she felt a burning desire to kill!

She would not let the Du family go!

Seeing Cai Wei’s gloomy expression, Huo Yuan knew she was filled with fury and anxiety. He consoled, "Younger Sister does not need to worry. I have already asked Court Judge Yao to examine Wen’er. Wen’er and Wu’er are fine, it’s just that there is a swelling at the back of Wen’er’s head, probably from being knocked during the scuffle that day. The swelling occasionally gives him headaches, but it is not serious. The swelling will go down in a few days!"

Cai Wei forced a smile towards Huo Yuan, a grateful look in her eyes. She genuinely appreciated him. Fortunately, he was there. Otherwise, who knows what condition her family might have ended up in by the time she returned home!

"Thanks to Big Brother Huo’s care, otherwise our home might have been hit by a catastrophe!"
