This was her own biological father. He had not said one word of concern since she was injured. He only thought about his wife and concubines and how to keep himself from being punished by grandfather.
He really was cold-blooded and selfish to the extreme! No wonder mother did not love him, grandfather did not like him, and uncle did not get close to him.
Zi You looked at the blood flowing on her arm. She had not replied to Mu YingRui because she was too angry. The door banged open and Old General Mu and Mu YingYi and his wife rushed inside.
Old General Mu kicked Mu YingRui who was standing in front of Zi You aside. He grabbed Zi You’s arm to take a look. He sucked in a mouthful of cold air, distressed. The temperature in the room dropped to negative degrees. He loudly shouted, “Someone! Take my name card and invite an Imperial Doctor over. Née Liu, quickly bring medicine over and help You’er stop the blood.”
He picked up Zi You and told Mu YingRui, “After I treat You’er’s wounds, I’ll deal with you two animals!”
He rushed out and flew towards his courtyard.
Née Liu fiercely glared at Wang Yiping and also hurried out.
Mu YingYi was filled with grief and resentfully said to Mu YingRui, “Brother, You’er is your biological daughter. Even a malicious tiger wouldn’t eat its own cub. You really have no humanity? How can you bear to hurt her? You’er is the only thing sister-in-law had left behind!”
He was angered to death. Because Zi You wanted to see the burning tower and guess riddles, Old General Mu had them prepare while Zi You went to see the Shui YouLian who fainted. They were going to set out when Zi You returned.
Who knew that as they were getting ready, ShiYun ran over and cried anxiously and in panic, “Lao TaiYe, Second Laoye, hurry to save Xiaojie. Because Laoye saved Shui guniang, furen is beating and scolding Xiaojie.”
He, his father, and his wife ran over and actually saw such a scene. You’er’s arm was hurt to this extent, but his brother acted like he didn’t see it. He even blamed and threatened You’er. He really was inhumane!
Mu YingYi remembered what Dier said when she was forcibly taken away by her grandmother and his eyes reddened.
“Young General, Dier can no longer keep watch over you and You’er. Dier begs Young General for one thing. Protect You’er for me. Don’t let her get hurt. Her father… was a mistake. I really regretted marrying him. How nice would it be if You’er was Young General’s child!”
Yes, how nice would it be if You’er was his daughter! He would protect her like a precious treasure. He wouldn’t let this pitiful and sensible child be bullied by her stepmother and inhumane father.
Mu YingYi was always polite and respectful to Wang Yiping. Even after he found out Zi You’s illness last time was because she drugged her, he didn’t say anything to her face. She was the older sister-in-law. He was the younger brother-in-law and a man. It was embarrassing to clash with her in person. But tonight, everything had touched his bottom line. He could no longer endure.
Mu YingYi looked at Wang Yiping with his gaze like a torch. He wanted to burn her and make her feel a fear that she never had before.
“Sister-in-law, I respect you as a sister-in-law. But I cannot let you bully You’er. I hope you act more like an elder. Next time I see you bully You’er, don’t blame me for breaking my principle to not hit women!”
He fiercely struck a chair and it fell apart and broke into pieces.
