Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Do you know what happens to the women who try to seduce me?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Father Mu’s eyes were wide open, his face twisted with rage, veins bulging on his forehead.
He pointed at Mu Chengjin’s nose, “You say disinheritance as if it’s so easy? Unless you’re dead, alive you are a member of the Mu Family, and in death, you will be a ghost of the Mu Family!”
“Someone come! Lock the young master in his room. He is not to take a single step out until he has thought of a way to get that piece of land in West City from Gu Siting!”
This was house arrest for Mu Chengjin!
Mother Mu, her tears streaming down, pleaded with Father Mu, “My lord, you can’t do this to Chengjin—ah!”
Mother Mu’s words were cut short as she was viciously slapped by Father Mu.
Mother Mu fell to the ground.
“Mother, don’t beg him.” Mu Chengjin, moving forward in his wheelchair, helped Mother Mu to her feet.
Mother Mu hugged Mu Chengjin, tears streaming down her face, “Chengjin, it’s my fault, I can’t protect you.”
Father Mu kicked Mother Mu away and glanced at the butler, “What are you standing there for? Take the young master back to his room. Don’t give him food or drink until he has thought it through!”
Mu Chengjin was also angry. He gasped slightly and couldn’t help but start coughing again.
The coughing wouldn’t stop.
A mouthful of blood came spewing out.
Seeing this, Father Mu did not instruct the butler to find a doctor for Mu Chengjin.
Mu Chengjin was locked in his room.
He bent over, clutching the arms of his wheelchair, his face turning from red to purple as he coughed.
A flash of hatred shimmered through his clear eyes.
But now, too weak even to protect himself, how could he possibly protect his mother?
If the coughing persisted, Mu Chengjin felt he might die here.
He collapsed weakly to the floor, a medicine bottle falling out.
The words of the little maid echoed in his head: “Young Master Mu, remember to take it, your cough should be cured within half a month.”
Before now, he hadn’t considered taking the medicine.
But at this moment, he felt he wasn’t far from his last breath.
If he was close to death anyway, what did he have to fear from poison that the little maid might have given him?
With trembling fingers, Mu Chengjin opened the bottle.
A rich medicinal scent wafted out, and to his relief, the pain in Mu Chengjin’s head seemed to ease somewhat.
He swallowed a pill, and whether it was the medicine’s effect or a psychological one, after taking it his cough eased considerably, and his lungs didn’t feel as on-fire.
After a while, his coughing subsided; his burning lungs felt as if they had been immersed in a gentle spring, bringing an unprecedented ease and comfort to his body.
Gazing at the porcelain bottle in his hand, Mu Chengjin’s eyes flickered with confusion.
How did the little maid from Fourth Brother’s house come by such a miraculously effective medicine?
Could it be true that taking it for fifteen days would cure the cough that had tormented him for years?
…
Imperial Garden.
Ming Yao looked at the mess of a dining table, and then at the man who was clearly drunk, slumping over it.
Her fist clenched, she swung at the back of his neck.
Suddenly, the man lifted his head, looking toward her.
Ming Yao’s fist couldn’t be retracted in time.
The instant her eyes met the man’s bloodshot, narrow gaze, Ming Yao wished she could evaporate on the spot.
“There was a fly on Fourth Master’s head, I was just trying to help you get rid of it…” She would never admit she’d wanted to punch him while he was drunk.
Gu Siting, his handsome features slightly flushed, didn’t pay attention to Ming Yao. He rose unsteadily from his chair.
As he staggered out of the dining room, Ming Yao hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Gu Siting cast a low glance at her, his voice deep and husky, “Do you know what happened to the last maid who tried to seduce me?”
Ming Yao, “…”
Who the hell wants to seduce you?
Is he talking about her?
Ugh, could he be any more narcissistic?
