Chapter 223:

Murong Qi in Trouble

As for the fruit trees she planted in the backyard a while ago, some had indeed borne fruit, but they still needed some time to ripen.

Back in Lihua Village, life for the Murong family returned to normal.

One day, while Murong Lingran and her elder brother were chatting in the main hall, when suddenly their front door was knocked on.

Murong Zong opened the door and, seeing Zhuang Qinghe, quickly ushered him into the main hall, asking, "Uncle Qinghe, what happened?"

Zhuang Qinghe, who had hurried over, was still sweating despite the cooler weather. He wiped his forehead and hesitated to speak.

The relationship between the two families was known throughout the village. If he mentioned it here, wouldn't he be pushing them into a difficult situation?

Sensing his hesitation, Murong Lingran asked, "Uncle Qinghe, is it about that matter?"

"Yes... it is."

Seeing that they guessed it, Zhuang Qinghe no longer concealed anything. He glanced around the main hall and said with puzzlement, "Where is your father?"

"In the backyard, brewing medicine for his hands. Do you need him? I can go call him," Murong Zong replied.

"No need. It's the same to tell you. Go and tell your father to hurry to your grandparents' house. If he doesn't go soon, your younger uncle will be beaten to death by your grandfather."

Although Murong Qi was a troublemaker, he was still a human life. If he really died, it would be unworthy for his biological father to go to jail for that kind of son.

Murong Zong furrowed his brows. "Younger uncle? Has he returned? Why would Grandpa want to beat him?"

Zhuang Qinghe sighed, "I don't know either. In your grandfather's house, where there are mostly women, they can't control your grandfather. They also dare not stop your grandfather. Someone came to my father's house to seek help, but my father went out visiting friends a few days ago, so he wasn't at home. I went to listen and only heard your grandfather's furious shouts. He said, 'I sent you to such a place, and you turned into a good-for-nothing!' I didn't understand the rest, but it seems he went somewhere he shouldn't have and caused a big disaster."

"I saw that your grandfather's bamboo pole was broken, and Murong Qi's head was injured, bleeding a lot. I rushed here to notify you."

Murong Zong nodded. "Thank you, Uncle Qinghe. I understand. I'll go tell my father."

"Alright, I have other matters at home. I'll go back first."

After Zhuang Qinghe left, Murong Zong went to the backyard and told his father everything he had heard.

Upon hearing this, Murong Zhe felt somewhat troubled. The other side had been trying various ways to trouble their family. Whenever something happened, they would rush over. It seemed a bit spineless. "A’Zong, do you think we should go there?"

After pondering for a moment, Murong Zong nodded, "Father, going there to take a look might be good. If Murong Qi is truly beaten to death or crippled, leaving behind a widowed mother and orphan, they might later blame us."

Murong Zhe also found his eldest son's words reasonable. With all his children, he arrived at his parents' house.

Before reaching the door, they could see that the entrance was surrounded by curious villagers, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
