Chapter 668: Lady Mei’s Death (3)_1
"Oh no, this is catastrophic!"
Du Yongbang, always a timid one, upon hearing the actual death of Lady Mei, immediately connected it with the horrifying rumors of Huo Yuan and Ci Yue Gang.
In his anxiety, he voiced his concerns without thinking, concluding them with a dispirited remark, "Given that Huo Yuan brought the entire Mu Family into the Bishui Villa, he evidently treasures them. With Lady Mei’s death happening in our mansion, he will surely seek justice on their behalf, what can we do now?"
Upon hearing her father’s worrying, Du Wanyue dismissed it with a smirk, she laughed and said, "Dad, as you said, the matter of Huo Yuan being the leader of Ci Yue Gang is just a rumor, why should we be afraid of a rumor?"
Du Yongzhi said, "What would you children know? Of all the people in the world, why is there only a rumor about him being the leader of Ci Yue? This indicates, he must have some connections with Ci Yue. Therefore, we must proceed with caution!"
Having heard this, Du Wanru laughed out loud, she chuckled and said, "Dad and uncle are being too cautious, panicking like cats on a hot tin roof. If Huo Yuan really was the leader of Ci Yue Gang, he must have unparalleled martial arts skills. However, we saw with our own eyes at the Empress Dowager’s Shangsi Festival Banquet, he tried to help that slut Mu Caiwei to escape, and even wanted to give up the Huo family’s Iron Scroll and Dan Book. If he is as resourceful as you said, why would he need to use his family’s life-saving scripture? Moreover, at a critical moment between life and death, it was Mu Caiwei who protected and saved him!"
After hearing that, Du Yongbang looked up at his daughter, "Wanqiu, is what your sister said true?"
