Chapter 1258 - 395: Protecting, One Family_2
"You..." Madam Hu was so angry she couldn’t speak. Wherever she went, people showed her respect because she was a member of the Hu Family. She never expected to be challenged at every turn by a teenage girl, which was simply outrageous.
Perched on a volcano, Madam Hu had never considered that when she visited other families in the past, they were often of a lesser or similar official rank to Sir Hu, showing respect to her on account of the main branch of the Hu family!
Now that she was at the Mo Family residence, the status of Lord Mo Yan alone was enough to crush Sir Hu several times over, let alone tolerate their family’s arrogance?
"Good, very good!" Sir Hu was equally livid, his face red and his neck thick with anger. He had originally taken advantage of Mo Yan’s inexperience, persistently being rude about the issue of Xin Er hitting someone, and had not anticipated Mo Yan being so assertive, not willing to back down even a bit. "I’ve experienced the County Lord’s might. I will not let this matter rest!" he declared.
As he spoke, he turned around angrily, taking his wife and daughter with him to leave. It was then that a gentle but sharp voice came through: "May I ask how this gentleman intends not to let this rest?"
Everyone instinctively looked up, just to see at the entrance of the courtyard, a handsome couple dressed in bright red wedding attire slowly walking in. It was Mo Qingze and Cui Qingrou, who were supposed to be getting married at the ancestral hall. Following them was a group of people who had gone to fetch the bride from the Cui family, and a group of youngsters from the Cui family who escorted the bride.
As it turned out, Mo Qingze had led Cui Qingrou down from the bridal sedan, and they had just crossed the fire basin, waiting for the auspicious time to perform the marriage rites when they noticed that only Zhenzhen and Yun Zhao among their children were at home. Mo Qingze then asked Lizhong about the whereabouts of the three Mo Yan sisters.
Lizhong was busy in the front courtyard, and the events that occurred in the back had already been relayed to him by Liyan. He hadn’t wanted to divulge the details at first but, pushed by Mo Qingze’s persistent questioning, quickly told the truth.
Worried that his daughter might be at a disadvantage, Mo Qingze had wanted to go to the back courtyard to see for himself but was mindful of Cui Qingrou’s presence. Unexpectedly, Cui Qingrou took the initiative to speak up, asking Mo Qingze to take her to Xin Er’s courtyard, where they just happened to overhear Sir Hu’s threatening words.
