Chapter 2261: Ruthless and Unrighteous (Part 7)

"Dad, you hit me?" Dai Xiyan stood up and looked at Dai Zhigao, "Why did you hit me? It was my uncle who caused trouble, not me..."

Dai Zhigao frowned at his eldest daughter. He had mentioned before that this daughter was selfish, and now he truly realized it—this wasn’t an ordinary level of selfishness.

"Xiyan, are you okay?" Chen Mingzhu was still worried about her daughter.

But Dai Xiyan pushed Chen Mingzhu away: "I’m fine."

Chen Mingzhu was taken aback, but after all, it was her darling child, so she didn’t take it to heart. Instead, she yelled at Dai Zhigao, "Dai Zhigao, even a tiger doesn’t eat its cub..."

"Get out!" Dai Zhigao suddenly turned to Chen and interrupted her, "Take your precious daughter and get out together."

Chen instantly took two steps back.

But Dai Zhigao lifted his foot and walked out.

"Dai Zhigao." Chen suddenly rushed out like she had gone crazy, grabbing Dai Zhigao’s clothes, "Why should I get out? You ungrateful thing, you..."

But that heart-wrenching cursing was ended with a crisp slap.

"Idiot!" Dai Zhigao looked at Chen as if viewing trash, even spat and then turned to leave.

Chen was slapped onto the ground again, spitting a mouthful of blood.

Dai Xiyan was terrified, covering her mouth and crying, but in her heart, she was weighing the pros and cons. Her parents were definitely going to separate. If she left with Chen, she could forget about finding a good husband in the future, they might end up on the streets. Considering the people at her maternal family, it would be tricky to rely on them. But if she stayed with her father, she would still be the daughter of the County Magistrate. Instantly deciding, Miss Dai chased out after her father to admit her mistake.

"Xiyan?" Chen called her daughter.

"Mom, indeed, Uncle messed up too badly." Dai Xiyan glanced at Chen, "You only care about Uncle, but the Dai Family is your real family. I won’t leave with you to live a miserable life. You should think carefully about it."

Watching her daughter leave, Chen Mingzhu lay on the ground, her heart frozen.

Chen Dongliang remained silent throughout, not moving when he saw his sister being beaten. Now as he saw Dai Zhigao leave, he stood up and ran outside—he needed to make a quick escape.

Chen raised her hand, but ultimately said nothing. She finally stood up with the help of her close servant woman and returned to her courtyard.

"Madam, don’t be sad. This time, Uncle indeed went too far." That servant woman was Chen Mingzhu’s nursemaid, having been with her for decades, "Once this passes and the master calms down, things will be okay."

"Haha." Chen Mingzhu chuckled, raising her eyes at the woman, "Grandma Hong, do you really believe that?"

Grandma Hong was speechless.

"I’ve been married to him for almost twenty years. Do you think I’m not clear on his character?" Chen Mingzhu sneered, "He’s selfish. Admittedly, Dongliang is indeed a bastard, but how many things over these years haven’t been done by relying on Dongliang? He wants reputation, then someone has to do those shady things, right?"

Grandma Hong said nothing.

"Now something has gone wrong, and he pushes all the blame away." Chen Mingzhu took a long sigh, then suddenly muttered to herself, "But everyone is selfish, aren’t they?" Her daughter had abandoned her; her brother had abandoned her. But she didn’t blame them—who wouldn’t be burdened with such a daughter and brother?

"Madam, try to look on the bright side." Grandma Hong looked at Chen Mingzhu with a heartache, "You’re still young, there’s still a life ahead."

"Hmph." Chen Mingzhu sneered, "Grandma, I know. However, anyone can abandon me, but Dai Zhigao cannot. Back then, without my Chen Family, Dai Zhigao might have died of thirst, hunger, or cold, how could he have ever become Old Master Dai? I didn’t mind his poverty and married him, managed everything for him all these years. Now he despises me? Why?"

Grandma Hong wanted to advise her but ultimately didn’t know how.

"I have quite a few incriminating things about him in my hand." Chen Mingzhu sneered, "It’s time to bring them out. If he’s ruthless, don’t blame me for being unjust. If life isn’t good, then nobody should have it good."

Grandma Hong furrowed her brow, feeling exceptionally uneasy. Was it really necessary to go down this path?

Meanwhile, after Dai Zhigao left the main hall, he headed straight for the courtyard of his concubine Ayu—he desperately needed comfort.

The little maid Fengfeng had already found out about the happenings at the front and informed Ayu, so when she heard Dai Zhigao enter, Ayu immediately went over and embraced him: "Master, you’ve had a hard time."

Dai Zhigao immediately felt a surge of emotion.

Ayu began to actively kiss him, easily luring him onto the bed.

Dai Zhigao was filled with anger, looking for an outlet, and Ayu’s actions just matched his desire: "Ayu, fortunately I have you."

"Fortunate that Ayu has the Master." Ayu gently pulled off his belt, "Now let Ayu serve the Master, let the Master forget all the displeasures encountered at the front." As she spoke, she bowed her head.

Dai Zhigao sighed comfortably.

Ayu, using her hands and mouth, served Dai Zhigao with ease. However, looking at the intoxicated old face, Ayu’s mouth curled into a sarcastic sneer.

All thanks to Chen Dongliang, that idiot, ruining his sister’s position as the main wife which she didn’t serve for nothing before. Now she received her reward.

Dai Zhigao’s stamina was ordinary, with age, he was not restrained in bed daily, especially for a woman like Ayu, who had seen countless men, he was no different from trash.

But Ayu’s persona was that of a delicate little beauty in distress, a Chuchu, so even if unsatisfied, she must always act very pleased, and shyly compliment, "Master, you’re so skilled."

And it was at this moment, after just a few moves, he softened.

But Dai Zhigao was clearly unsatisfied, and pulled out a box from the bedside table, took a pill from inside, and swallowed it.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Dai Zhigao was re-energized, starting rounds of aggressive attacks. Sadly, even with the drug, each time remained short, but hearing Ayu’s cries begging for mercy, his heart felt infinite satisfaction, defusing some of the fire within.

"Master, you’re amazing." Despite feeling very uncomfortable, Ayu instinctively performed, "Ayu’s going to die."

"You little demon, you were clinging so tightly just now, didn’t you want it?" Dai Zhigao pinched Ayu below, "Now complaining of being tired?"
