Chapter 683: Self-sacrifice to save others (3)_1
Although Lady Li was afraid of Cai Wei, the reason she dared to rush forward and stand in front of her son was her status as an elder!
Mu Zhongqing is a scholar, someone who values etiquette and constantly instilled in his children the importance of understanding and respecting the larger picture. Therefore, she was certain that Cai Wei wouldn’t dare to harm her!
Sure enough, Cai Wei stopped, a taste of ridicule flashing across her face as she looked down on Lady Li, seemingly...quite disdainful of her.
Lady Li twisted her face, refusing to meet Cai Wei’s mocking gaze. The girl, who used to tremble in fear every time they met, was no longer there. The once towering advantage over the second branch of the family was gone, never to return. Lady Li felt stifled, humiliated, unsatisfied, but there was nothing she could do about it...
Just as they were entrenched in a standoff, Aunt Zhou barged through the crowd, an immense aura of anger surrounding her, shouldering a rolling pin. Accompanying her was the Fifth Miss from An Mansion, An Ziyi, and on her other side were Uncle Zhou and Jiu Jin
"You are an elder, and Girl Wei wouldn’t dare to hit you, but I am your equal! I will fight you!" panted Aunt Zhou.
They all seemed to have rushed over, slightly out of breath, especially Miss Ziyi, her face flushed and breathing heavily, clearly out of breath.
A warmth filled Cai Wei’s heart. Sister Ziyi must have been afraid that she would be wronged, so she had run all the way to the Zhou Family for help, and everyone had been worried about her, and run all the way back...
Seeing that Cai Wei was unharmed, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Aunt Zhou was the first to exhale in relief, she then pointed the rolling pin at Lady Li’s nose, directing a scathing barrage at her: "Lady Li, have you no shame? Gatthering a bunch of bullies to confront your own niece! Are your main family members even human beings at all?"
