Chapter 781 Reasonable
Zhuang Xianhui was so scared that she almost fell off her chair.
"what!"
Luo Yu was quick to help her sit firmly.
"Beware!"
Holding her sister-in-law's wrist tightly, Zhuang Xianhui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
She turned her gaze to her brother, casting a resentful look at him.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me that you were coming back? How could you come in directly without letting someone know?"
Realizing that the time was wrong, she uttered a puzzled sound.
"Ok?"
"Why are you back so early?"
Zhuang Wei's face was as cold as frost and snow.
"How dare you question my elder brother, where did you learn these rules?!"
"I should ask you, why are you here, who let you in?"
With the support of her sister-in-law, Zhuang Xianhui is unruly and fearless.
"Brother, this question is boring."
"Could it be that I need to report this matter and ask for permission before I can enter my own mansion?"
"Brother, how can you be so indifferent to your relatives? Youqing Mansion is surrounded by strong defenses and not even our family members are allowed to enter. What is the meaning of this? Why are you guarding against us?"
Zhuang Wei's eyes were filled with anger and ferocity, which made people afraid.
"I asked, which servant let you in?"
"There are only a handful of people who are familiar with the formation and can enter and exit at will. Even if you don't tell me, I can find it out."
"If you confess voluntarily, I will not have to question you, otherwise..."
Zhuang Xianhui was subconsciously afraid and didn't dare to listen any further, so she quickly interrupted him.
"Otherwise what? You want to kill me?"
"As a family, we should live in harmony. Why is elder brother so vicious?"
After complaining, she became even more frightened and quickly changed the subject.
"Why do you need a servant to lead the way? To be honest, brother, I came in by myself."
Hui'er's face was filled with fear, and it was obvious. Luo Yu didn't understand what was going on, but still stretched out her arms to protect her behind her.
Seeing that his wife was afraid, Zhuang Wei suppressed his anger and spoke calmly to his third sister.
"You can't break my formation."
Hiding behind her sister-in-law, Zhuang Xianhui felt even more fearless.
"How is it impossible? Who are you looking down on?"
"Brother, you are very conceited. Why don't you want to admit that I am better than you?"
Zhuang Wei pointed it out.
"You drew a rough diagram of the battle formation, and then asked your father for advice, and thus found out the key to breaking the battle formation, right?"
Zhuang Xianhui shook her head, looking very proud.
"So what?"
"Brother, there was a loophole in your plan, and I found it and used it to break the situation."
"So I guess my little sister is smarter than you."
Zhuang Wei tried to be friendly as much as possible, yet still looked dignified and stern, not mean but strict.
"To play tricks on me, Zhuang Xianhui, who gives you the courage?"
Seeing him approaching with stern steps, Zhuang Xianhui felt uneasy and became more and more panicked thinking about her disrespectful words.
Luo Yu stepped forward and stopped the master.
"Please don't misunderstand me, sir."
"Hui Er came to visit me with good intentions. She came to help me."
Zhuang Wei said sternly, revealing the truth.
"What's the good intention? How can she help?"
"Her purpose is just to get information and find out your privacy."
Luo Yu didn't care and looked indifferent.
"There's no need to hide my affairs from my family."
Zhuang Wei's face was stern and gloomy.
"You can tell from what she said that she taught you."
He glanced at his third sister and warned her coldly.
"Madam is pure and thoughtful, please don't teach her bad things."
Zhuang Xianhui was wronged.
"How can I..."
Zhuang Wei did not listen to any explanation, but turned to his wife and explained the pros and cons seriously.
"Following filial piety, etiquette cannot be abolished. It is indeed inappropriate to hide your affairs from your elders, but why should you tell her?"
"Don't you know that telling others about your weaknesses will only bring disaster upon yourself? If she makes fun of you and ridicules you in the future, how will you deal with it?"
"I have tried every possible means to protect your privacy and prevent them from finding out. How could Madam not know how to cherish herself and casually reveal the secret?"
Before he knew it, his voice and expression became stern.
The more Luo Yu listened, the more guilty she felt, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhuang Wei immediately softened his heart.
"You... I'm talking to you, why are you crying?"
Zhuang Xianhui hurried to comfort her.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry."
She stared at her brother with sharp eyes, as if she hated him as an enemy.
"Big brother, you are so boring. I will never laugh at my sister-in-law. Who do you think I am?"
"My sister-in-law has only experienced a pitiful life. How can she deserve ridicule?"
"Do you look down on her from the bottom of your heart?"
Zhuang Wei was instantly furious.
"How dare you spread such nonsense? Zhuang Xianhui, you are tired of living, aren't you?!"
Luo Yu tried her best to protect him.
"Master, please don't bully Hui'er. It's all my fault."
Zhuang Wei was helpless.
"Who bullied her? I did nothing."
Luo Yu corrected.
"You clearly reprimanded her, and you did it harshly."
Zhuang Wei had nothing to say.
"I……"
Luo Yu took a step closer, raised her eyes, and stared at the master clearly.
"I will take full responsibility for the fault. Hui'er is innocent."
"If you want to blame me, please punish me. I am willing to accept the punishment and have no complaints."
The lady's every move was so charming that it was beyond words. Zhuang Wei was lost in thought and could not help but imagine the scene of a beautiful woman picking flowers to please her. He longed for it and could not wait any longer.
He waved his hand indifferently and said goodbye to his third sister.
"You go."
Luo Yu was so focused on comforting the master that she didn't notice the subtle details in his expression, which hinted at some affection.
Zhuang Xianhui saw through it at a glance and gave kind advice.
"Brother, I've been working hard all day and I'm afraid it might be inconvenient for you."
Feeling confused and like she poured a bucket of cold water on him, Zhuang Wei became extremely angry and exploded instantly.
"What's the inconvenience? What's the inconvenience?"
"Don't you know not to look at what is inappropriate? Who allowed you to reveal your brother's thoughts?"
"Go back home and don't disturb me!"
Zhuang Xianhui was reluctant to leave.
"My sister-in-law and I have made an appointment to have dinner together."
Luo Yu responded.
"Yes, we made an appointment."
"Master, please punish me. I am not afraid of losing face. Hui'er is kind and will not add insult to injury."
Zhuang Wei had a hard time expressing his grievances and was speechless again.
"I……"
He concentrated on completing today's work as quickly as possible and returned home early to have fun with his wife. Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came.
Zhuang Wei gritted his teeth and accompanied them shopping, eating dinner, taking a walk after dinner, playing on the swings... Late at night, he finally got relief.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, he returned to the bedroom and saw that his wife was already asleep. Zhuang Wei was furious, but he didn't want to disturb his wife's sleep.
So he thought of something else.
My second brother is also newly married, and they must be very loving.
Twin brothers share happiness and adversity. Tonight, I cannot suffer alone, my second brother must accompany me.
Zhuang Wei walked briskly and arrived at Xiaoyaoju.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Rui and Teng E'lan were not at home.
The servants reported that the young master and his wife left the house and stayed at an inn.
Zhuang Wei was even more furious.
He was smart. He guessed that someone was trying to sabotage him and hid away in advance.
No wonder the third sister didn’t come to Xiaoyaoju and was staring at Youcong Mansion.
Then, Zhuang Wei went to Roujing Pavilion.
The result was still a miscalculation, and the third sister and brother-in-law disappeared.
Furious, Zhuang Wei dealt with the Yanwu family overnight. With a petition, he imprisoned them in the court, making them bear the guilt and ruin their reputation. Then, he pretended to flee for fear of punishment and quietly took the four of them away, torturing them to the utmost and leaving no trace of their remains.
Luo Libin and his wife had no way out. All they had to do was submit evidence and escort them to Tinghetai.
For his wife, he punished the evildoers, and Zhuang Wei felt much better.
The morning star was fading, and the morning light was bright again. He embraced his wife and fell asleep peacefully...
