Mu YingRui was distracted by her tears and delicate, frail appearance. So he agreed to Wang Yiping drugging Zi You, but only if the drug was harmless.
Wang Yiping bribed her motherâs lover, Imperial Doctor Qin, and promised Mu YingRui.
The stupid Mu YingRui did not know that Wang Yiping would bring harm to his daughter. Medicines were 30% poisonous. How could there be a non-harmful drug?
So that gentle, ladylike, sweet and charming little wife was such a poisonous and vicious shrew!
She not only slapped his daughterâs face and caused her to fall on the ground of broken porcelain and be injured; she even cursed him and his family. If this could be tolerated, then what could not? Enough was enough.
Mu YingRui did not like his father controlling him. But his father was still his father. They were related by blood. How could it be permissible for someone to curse him?
Mu YingRui went over to the still-scolding Wang Yiping and kicked her. Then he helped the Zi You up from the ground. His face immediately changed.
Zi You fell sideways onto the ground. Her left arm had been pierced by the broken porcelain and blood was flowing.
It was over! If his father found out, not only would Wang Yiping be punished, but he would also be beaten. Mu YingRui thought of that terrifying military rod and anger gushed forwards. He rushed over and slapped Wang Yiping five or six times. He scolded, âYou poisonous woman! You never stop, always trying to find trouble. What day is it today? Itâs the Mid-Autumn Festival! You hurt Youâer like this! You really donât want the whole manor to have a good day right?â
Chapter 63 Poisonous Woman is Beaten, Part 2
Wang Yiping was not an ordinary person. Once she saw Mu YingRui, she already began to regret her impulsiveness. Now that she was scolded and slapped by him, she sobered even more.
Simply put, she was lowly person who bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong. She had to be beaten to come to her senses.
Wang Yiping relied on nothing more than Mu YingRuiâs love and doting. If she lost this manâs love, she couldnât move a step in the Generalâs Manor.
Great Yan valued martial skills over civil skills. Even the Emperor gave Old General Mu face. As for civil officials, even if you were a first-rank prime minister, you could not compare to a first-rank generalâs resoluteness. Martial officials held more power than civil officials.
Duke Yingguo only had a title with no real power. Compared to the military power in Old General Muâs hands, it was like comparing clouds to mud.
Besides, Wang Yiping was Duke Yingguo fuâs Shu daughter. Duke Yingguo furen always disliked her. Even if she returned to her maiden family to complain, her family couldnât run to the Generalâs Manor to seek justice.
In addition, she was the unreasonable one in tonightâs events. Even if she went to the Emperorâs throne room, she couldnât state an excuse.
After all, Zi You didnât do anything wrong. She simply performed an exotic dance for her elders with a maidservant. As for Mu YingRui liking Shui YouLian, it had nothing to do with Zi You. Could the daughter control her fatherâs mind and prevent him from liking or disliking someone?
Wang Yiping was just jealous and angry and lost her senses. Now she was slapped sober by Mu YingRui. She immediately feigned being pitiful and delicate. She hugged Mu YingRuiâs arm and cried, grief-stricken, âLaoye, Bieqie wonât... wonât... Bieqie wasnât... wasnât... deliberate. Bieqie thought Laoye... Laoye didnât want Bieqie anymore. Bieqie was momentarily fearful and anxious and lost... lost her senses.â
