The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2463 - 42

Mu Shaoling looked at the young man in front of him, who was as articulate as ever, and his mind drifted back to when this kid was little, always able to talk his way out of anything.

"You’re really not going to tell me, huh?"

"I really don’t know."

"Alright then!"

Mu Shaoling picked up the whip beside him and charged forward.

Of course, he couldn’t tolerate what Mu Huarong had done, but how to punish her was the Mu Family’s affair; how could he let others interfere?

At first, he thought Huarong might be dead, but hearing this boy’s tone, perhaps she wasn’t.

But even if she wasn’t dead, she probably wasn’t well off either. She’s his daughter, and whether it’s the palm or the back of his hand, it’s all flesh, no matter how bad she is, he can’t bear to hurt her.

"You little brat!!"

Ye Haoyang did not dodge; he just stood there, letting him swing.

He harmed his daughter, so letting him strike a few blows was only fair.

"Dad!"

But while Ye Haoyang was willing to let him hit, Mu Huaen was not pleased.

He turned and hugged Ye Haoyang, "Dad, if you’re going to hit him, then hit me too."

"You..." At this moment, Mu Shaoling’s anger was raging; his face had gone red down to his neck, "Get out of the way."

"Dad, why are you hitting him? Brother Ye Er did nothing wrong," Mu Huaen yelled angrily, "Why are you asking about Mu Huarong’s whereabouts? Could it be you can’t bear for that poisonous woman and want her back to pretend to be filial to you?"

"Huaen..." Facing this daughter, Mu Shaoling felt lacking in confidence, and his tone was full of guilt, "Huaen, this is our family’s affair, you aren’t married yet, he’s meddling, and that’s not right. As for Huarong, Dad definitely won’t spare her."

"Dad, his intentions are my intentions," Mu Huaen continued, "Aren’t you asking because you’re afraid Brother Ye Er killed her? I can tell you she’s not dead, she’s well alive. But as for her coming back, forget it, you said you’d punish her, but in the end, it would just be like Sister Yu Bing, thrown into the manor or locked up in the temple. That punishment is too light, I won’t be satisfied. She had plans to sell me and even wanted to find me a few husbands, Dad, just for that, I think I can justify anything I do to her. Brother Ye Er didn’t want my hands dirty, that’s why he acted, what’s wrong with that?"

"..."

Mu Huaen’s words left Mu Shaoling unable to retort, he could only sigh repeatedly, "What misfortune for the family!"

How did it happen time after time with such malicious women?

"Enough!" Commandery Princess Dongyang, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "Do not pursue the traitorous daughter anymore, from now on, her life or death is irrelevant to the Mu Family. Yangyang and Huaen did nothing wrong."

"Exactly, Dad, why are you asking those things?" Mu Niancheng chimed in, "You’re saying you’ll punish her now, but when she comes back crying, you’ll surely soften up. Hasn’t it always been this way? If you had been strict in the past and disciplined her, maybe she wouldn’t be this way now."

Hearing them bring up the past, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an exchanged a glance, could it be similar incidents happened before?

But how come they hadn’t heard anything about it?

"You all sit down too, Chengcheng go apply some medicine first."

Seeing this, Ye Haoyang pulled Mu Huaen to sit down to one side, still holding her hand in front of the adults, Mu Shaoling’s father-in-law instincts kicked in, "Sit with your own father, not with my daughter."

He pulled Mu Huaen away from Ye Haoyang and sat her down in front of Commandery Princess Dongyang.
