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?"
