Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 8: Visit by 2 Brothers and 3 Younger Brothers

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi actually always wanted to visit their older brother and younger sister, but their father was always supervising them in their studies.

He was even so crazy as to assign a bunch of homework. Mu Jinbai kept writing as soon as he returned to the yard from the study, and did not finish until late at night. However, it was already late at night, and he did not want to disturb his elder brother and sister's rest.

As Mu Jinxi was only eight years old, his father assigned him less homework, but it was still a lot. After he finished writing, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep, sleeping until dawn.

They don’t know yet that their eldest brother was disqualified and his father cancelled his heirship.

The next day, Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi finally had time to visit their older brother and older sister.

According to the etiquette of hierarchy, they first went to the eldest brother's courtyard and happened to meet the eldest brother who had just returned at the door.

When Mu Jinfeng saw the two of them, his face froze and he reflexively wanted to avoid them.

But Mu Jinbai saw his eldest brother out of the corner of his eye and walked towards him.

"Brother, we were under our father's watch yesterday and didn't come to visit you in time. Is your injury serious?"

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinfeng spoke very familiarly. Under normal circumstances, Mu Jinfeng might not care.

But now, Mu Jinfeng's breathing was rapid, his nails dug into his palms, and the muscles on the uninjured side of his face twitched slightly.

He had just been abandoned by his father, and then two candidates for succession stood in front of him, and they were distressed that their father had assigned them a lot of homework...

He didn't expect his father to move so quickly, as if he didn't care about him at all.

He gritted his teeth, barely controlling his emotions, and said in an obscure voice, "The doctor said it will leave a scar on my face."

There was no need for the eldest brother to say anything else. At this time, Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi understood what the eldest brother meant. When they thought about how their father suddenly stopped their studies yesterday, it seemed that their father wanted to change the heir!

The two of them looked at each other, and only they themselves knew what they were thinking.

From childhood to adulthood, they have always had an older brother who was praised by many people for his excellence. He always received more attention from his father and mother, and even had a very cheerful personality.

But now the mountain that had been pressing down on them had collapsed, and they felt like they could finally breathe.

They knew it was not a good idea to think this way, and when they came to their senses, they were immediately filled with guilt and remorse.

After all, Mu Jinbai was five years older than his third brother, so his expression was not as obvious as his. He was just stunned for a few seconds.

While they were distracted, Mu Jinfeng had already seen their expressions clearly. His heart sank and he suddenly felt hatred towards both of them.

He asked himself why they treated him like this now since he never had any hatred towards them when he was a child!

As he walked along, the servants on the roadside looked at the bandages on his face and whispered to each other, as if they were discussing whether he could return to his former self.

Mu Jinfeng really wanted to have those chatterboxes dragged away and punished, but reason told him that he couldn't do that and he had to endure it.

Now even his brother has changed, and he suddenly feels that he has no one to rely on.

No! He has a sister. She will help me. She will!

Mu Jinfeng struggled to grab the last straw.

Mu Jinbai looked at his silent eldest brother with an awkward expression. Anything he said would sound like showing off. He could only take his third brother and say goodbye to his eldest brother and leave.

Mu Jinxi was still a little confused. Why did his second and eldest brothers take him away after just chatting for a while? Was there something important that he didn't do?

Mu Jinfeng watched the two of them walk away with cold eyes. The morning sun shone on them, as if reflecting their bright future.

There happened to be a big tree blocking the sunlight where he was standing, casting a shadow, which was as bleak as his future.

He stood there for a long time before returning to the yard. The servants here were very quiet. They all kept their heads down and tried not to make any noise while doing things.

After the master left last night, the eldest young master calmly climbed out of the bed, grabbed things and started smashing them on the ground. The noise lasted until late at night. They took advantage of the eldest young master's sleep and tidied up everything quickly.

Although the young master did not punish anyone in the yard now, it was this feeling of impending storm that made them tremble with fear.

Mu Jinfeng returned to the room and waved away the servants. He sat in front of the dressing table and carefully removed the gauze from his face.

Circle after circle, when all the gauze fell off, Mu Jinfeng turned his head to look at the wound on his face in the mirror. The wound on his face had just been stimulated by his second and third brothers, and it was bursting and bleeding again.

The haze in Mu Jinfeng's eyes gradually spread. He picked up the ointment prescribed by the doctor and applied it to the wound, then found a new piece of gauze and wrapped it around his face again.

He won't give up easily, never!

After visiting their eldest brother, Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi finally came to their younger sister's yard, wanting to see her.

This time they all looked a little nervous, fearing that she might not like them either.

But of course Mu Tangxi couldn't treat them like this, she really wanted to be close to her family.

When Mu Tangxi happily invited them in to sit down, Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi both breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Mu Tangxi smiled even more widely. It was normal that they had a bad relationship with the eldest brother.

Mu Jinbai tactfully asked his elder brother how he got his face injured so badly.

Mu Tangxi looked embarrassed, but still said, "My eldest brother got a beautiful dagger and showed it to me in the carriage. As a result, a carriage came from nowhere and hit the carriage we were sitting in. At that time, my eldest brother was playing with the dagger..."

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi understood. It turned out that the eldest brother was holding a dagger in his hand. No wonder he was injured so badly when the carriage overturned!

"Sister, are you okay?" Mu Jinxi felt that her weak sister obviously needed more care than her eldest brother.

One is still lying in bed, and the other has a facial injury but is able to leave the house.

Moreover, for the eldest brother, the former heir, it is more distressing to see his non-threatening sister/sister get hurt.

"I just hit my head. I'm much better now after last night's high fever. My elder brother is more seriously injured."

Mu Tangxi said with a smile.

When Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi heard their sister/sister say that she had a high fever last night, they looked a little guilty for not hearing the news in time to visit her/sister.

Mu Tangxi changed the subject in time, "How is my brother?"

"Brother, brother, he..."

But when Mu Jinxi mentioned his eldest brother, he hesitated, which gave Mu Jinbai a headache for a moment, but he immediately continued what his third brother had not finished saying.

"Brother is much better now. We went to visit him and met him at the gate of the courtyard. But you are still unable to get out of bed, which makes us a little worried."

The curve of Mu Tangxi's mouth corners became wider. She enjoyed the worry and care brought to her by her relatives, and her eyes looking at the two of them became softer.

If only they would never change!

Mu Tangxi felt a little bored since her second and third brothers left, so she asked Dongzhu to call Doctor Shen Qiu.

She still needs to lie in bed for another day. Her father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother have all come, and no one will come after that.

Let Dr. Shen Qiu Shen be her entertainment!
