Chapter 955: Chapter 957: The Marriage Proposal Arrives (5)

Lady Du sat in the room, and upon hearing the voices in the courtyard, she looked as if struck by thunder, her eyes wide with astonishment as she stared at Cai Wei.

Cai Wei slapped her forehead, realizing her mistake.

In these days, she was so preoccupied with Nangong Yi’s affairs that she had completely forgotten about the First Branch of the family. To her misfortune, they had found Dad, and now things were going to be difficult!

As she was still fretting, Mu Zhongqing led the First Branch of the family through the entrance. His expression was complex as he glanced at Cai Wei and said to Lady Du, "Lady Mei, Dad and Mom and big brother and sister-in-law are here, hurry and come out to greet them!"

As the First Branch entered the room, they immediately smelled a faint, elegant fragrance, the origin of which they couldn’t identify; it made them feel as if they were on cloud nine. They were dazzled by the Brocade piled up all over the place, each piece vying for attention, causing a dizzying effect that made them want to recite Buddhist prayers.

Biting the bullet, Lady Du hauled herself up from the babu bed with the help of Dou Momo and bowed down to Mu Liankui and Lady Mu Bai: "Dad, Mom, how come you are here?"

Suddenly coming to his senses from the wonderland-like surroundings, Mu Liankui looked at his daughter-in-law, adorned in silks and satins, and thought of the hardships his own family had endured these past few months. With a humph, he ignored Lady Du, striding over to sit on the babu bed where she had just been sitting.

Lady Mu Bai did speak, but no kind words came out.

"How dare you ask! It’s all thanks to the wonderful daughter you raised, so ruthless and callous that you threw us under the bus, nearly getting our whole family killed by Madam Lü. Your heart is truly venomous!" she said.

With that, she walked past Lady Du with a huff and took a seat on the babu bed beside Mu Liankui, sitting shoulder to shoulder with him in a manner befitting a grand elderly couple.

Lady Du rose to her feet and laughed and said, "Dad, Mom, what do you mean by that? I really don’t understand!"

Lady Li said, "Second Brother’s wife, you may not understand Dad and Mom’s words, but you should at least understand the rules of being a daughter-in-law, shouldn’t you? Did Dad and Mom ask you to get up? Why did you get up without permission?"

Cai Wei couldn’t bear to watch any longer and sneered at Lady Li, "Speaking of rules, you seem to have forgotten whose home this is. In your home, you follow your rules, but this is our home, so naturally, we follow our rules. Not to mention my mom is pregnant and it’s inconvenient for her to adhere to formalities; even if she were perfectly fine, so what if she doesn’t pay attention to you?"

"Oh, Zhongqing, listen to this! Did you see? This is the wonderful daughter you raised. She nearly got our whole family killed before, and Ping’er is still in an uncertain state of life and death. Your sister-in-law is an elder. She was just grumbling a little, yet now your daughter is giving us the cold shoulder!" Mu Zhongli pointed at Cai Wei and looked at Mu Zhongqing with grief and indignation.

Mu Zhongqing coughed and said, "Wei’er, what exactly happened at the restaurant in Qingyun Town? And those New Year’s goods you gave to Grandpa and Grandma, how did they end up being identified as stolen goods from the Lü Family?"

Cai Wei’s eyes suddenly turned icy, her voice cooling as well, "What? Dad, do you believe them and want to interrogate me?"

"Dad, have you forgotten how they treated us before? How can you question sister for their sake?"

Fei’er was in the backyard playing with the two little ones. Hearing from Chun Liu that visitors had arrived at home, she rushed over to see, only to encounter the family she hated the most.

Mu Zhongqing coughed and said, "Dad isn’t interrogating your sister; Dad is just wondering if there has been some misunderstanding here. If there has been, let’s talk it out so the whole family doesn’t suffer unnecessary ill-feelings."

"Dad, they are bad guys, please kick them out..."

Wen’er and Wu’er also came in, holding hands. Upon seeing the First Branch of the family, their emotions ran high. Wu’er even started running with his short little legs, calling out, "Uncle Zhang Da, Second Uncle Zhang, there are bad guys at our home..."
