Zi You smiled comfortingly at her grandfather. She shook her head and said sweetly, “Don’t worry, grandfather. You’er can actually cure this little injury and won’t leave a scar. Don’t go see the Emperor. If granddaughter doesn’t even have this bit of skill, how could she hope to qualify to be a female doctor for the army? Grandfather, You’er asked for a doctor because she wanted father to see that woman’s true face and no longer be fooled by her.”
Née Liu affectionately touched the fingerprint marks on Zi You’s face. She angrily asked, “That vicious woman! Why would she hit you?”
Zi You feigned she was in difficulties and shook her head. “I also don’t know. Father saw that Shui YouLian was pitiful so he wanted to take her as his concubine. I thought that isn’t too appropriate, but YouLian agreed. So I couldn’t say too much and went to explain to mother.”
Zi You’s tears glistened in her eyes and looked pitiful. “But when I got there, before I could even speak, I saw the floor filled with broken porcelain. I asked mother what happened and she immediately ordered me to kneel…”
Zi You tearfully explained the events. Old General Mu angrily smacked his hand on a table. The table broke into pieces. “Poisonous woman! She can’t control her husband and takes her anger out on you. Someone, call First Laoye and First Furen over. They’re rebelling. This old man is still alive and they dare to bully my motherless granddaughter.”
Mu YingYi said with a cold face, “I will call them. Father, ask brother if he’s willing to let me adopt You’er. I will be You’er’s father. I can’t stand it anymore. We’re still here and they dare to treat You’er like this. If one day, we’re not here, You’er…”
At this point, the iron-like warrior’s eyes reddened and he couldn’t speak anymore. Dier left behind this only treasure. If something happened to Zi You, how could he face that passionate and righteous woman?
Née Liu was immediately happy. “That’s a good idea. Father, why don’t you let me adopt You’er as my daughter? I wish I had such a sensible and lovable daughter.”
Old General Mu pondered for a moment and then nodded. “En, handing You’er to you two, I can also rest assured.”
Zi You wanted to be Mu YingYi’s daughter too. But then if Wang Yiping commit evil, she wouldn’t be able to interfere.
Zi You stood up and rushed into Née Liu’s arms. She said excitedly, “Aunt, You’er also wants to have a mother like you. More than that, You’er wants to call Uncle ‘father’. But You’er can only treat you two as parents in her heart. Grandfather, Uncle, Aunt, think about it. If the first household is handed to her and no one holds her back, we don’t know what she would do. If she really wants to do some dirty things, she would sully the whole General’s Manor’s reputation. You’er must look over her.
“Besides, father is still alive. If You’er is really adopted under Uncle’s name, wouldn’t father be losing a lot of face? What if he hates Uncle? You’er can’t be responsible for father and Uncle to be at odds! Grandfather, Uncle, Aunt, rest assured. You’er will be careful from now on and won’t let her injure me again. You’er was careless tonight and didn’t think she would dare to hit me, so she succeeded.”
Zi You finished speaking. At this time, the butler came to report that First Laoye and First Furen were waiting in Old General Mu’s study.
Old General Mu stood up and said to Zi You, “Don’t worry. Grandfather will support you and help you vent your anger. So she won’t dare to bully you again.”
