Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine
Chapter 43 I am no longer a silly girl who lets others beat and scold me at will
Murong Zixi faced Murong Yunhai directly, with obvious sarcasm on her face. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, stabbing straight into Murong Yunhai's already ashen face.
"Father, you said that within three days you would return all the money that the people from the general's mansion had cheated from me. So, the account regarding my mother's shop must also be settled." Murong Zixi's voice was crisp and cold, like water flowing from an icy spring. Every word hit Murong Yunhai's heart like a heavy hammer.
Her tone was full of contempt and ridicule towards Murong Yunhai, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and resentment that the original owner had suffered over the years.
Murong Yunhai's face instantly became uglier than before. He wanted to lose his temper, but in addition to Lu Zhensi from Shuntian Prefecture, there was also Prince Zhan in the court. Moreover, he did not know what was going on between Prince Zhan and his daughter, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
The expression on Murong Yunhai's face froze instantly. He didn't expect Murong Zixi to be so direct. It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, but this evil girl chose to make trouble outside.
He forced an awkward smile and said, "Zi Xi, we are still a family after all. If there is anything, let's go home and discuss it slowly, okay? I will definitely do what I promised you."
However, Murong Zixi remained unmoved, and her eyes revealed deep disdain.
She laughed coldly and said, "Father, you are really ridiculous. Do you think I will believe your promise so easily?"
Murong Yunhai's expression became more and more ugly, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Zi Xi, don't go too far. We are a family, let's talk it out nicely."
Murong Zixi sneered and continued, "Father, you probably don't know how much money Moxiangxuan makes in a year, and how much money Qin has used to subsidize the General's Mansion. There are several other shops, and I'm sure it's the same situation."
Hearing this, Murong Yunhai's expression finally changed. He widened his eyes, glared at Murong Zixi, and shouted: "Murong Zixi, you better understand what your last name is. If you make such a fuss now, the general's mansion will lose face. What good will it do you?"
Murong Zixi looked at him indifferently, with a hint of coldness in her eyes. She said softly: "Benefits? What benefits has the General's Mansion given me? Not long ago, father, you almost beat me to death with your own hands! Besides, I really disdain this surname."
Who cares about having the same surname as him? But my aunt's original surname is Murong, otherwise she would have changed her surname when she left the general's mansion.
Murong Yunhai's face showed a trace of embarrassment and anger when he heard this, but more of it was shock. He widened his eyes and looked at Murong Zixi in disbelief, as if he didn't know this daughter.
Murong Yunhai clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger. He realized that since Murong Zixi woke up from her injury, she had become a completely different person. Not only had her attitude towards him changed, but even her personality had become stronger.
The more Murong Yunhai thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that Murong Zixi was completely ignorant and didn't know what was good for her.
Murong Yunhai's eyes were wide open and he glared at her viciously. The anger in his eyes seemed to burn her to death. If looks could kill, Murong Zixi would have died countless times.
However, facing such a fierce gaze, Murong Zixi suddenly burst into a chuckle.
There was a hint of contempt and sarcasm in the laughter, as if he was disdainful of Murong Yunhai's anger.
"Haha! Father, look at this look. Does it mean you regret not beating me to death that day? What a pity, there will never be such an opportunity again..." Murong Zixi's tone was full of provocation and confidence.
Hearing this, Murong Yunhai's face turned red instantly. His finger pointed at Murong Zixi with trembling hands, as if he wanted to say something, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
His chest heaved violently, and it was obvious that his inner anger had reached its peak.
At this moment, Jun Feimo, who was sitting next to him, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and sharp, like a deep pool, making it difficult to see his true thoughts.
He looked at Murong Zixi quietly, with a barely perceptible hint of heartache in his eyes.
Jun Feimo said calmly: "Is the general's mansion so poor that it has to use the dowry of the deceased general's wife?" His voice was calm and gentle, but the majesty contained in it made everyone present feel pressured.
Murong Yunhai's face suddenly became very embarrassed, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, this...I really don't know about this, it's all due to the greed of those women..." His words revealed a sense of helplessness and grievance, trying to shift the blame to others.
Jun Feimo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a teasing smile: "Oh? As expected, you are a concubine who climbed up to the top, but you can't show yourself in public." There was obvious sarcasm in his words, which made Murong Yunhai feel ashamed.
Murong Yunhai lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Your Highness is right..." His voice was low and weak, as if he had lost all his confidence.
When Xiao Qing saw Murong Yunhai's attitude, her face instantly turned red, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently pull Murong Yunhai's sleeve.
Murong Yunhai brushed her hand away with a look of disgust and snorted coldly.
Xiao Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she muttered to herself, what does the master mean by this? Now he actually blames everything on her!
Doesn't the general's mansion need money to cover expenses? His annual salary is limited. If she hadn't cleverly deceived that bitch Murong Zixi over the years, how could the general's mansion become what it is now?
Murong Zixi didn't care about Murong Yunhai's reaction. She just glanced at him calmly, then turned to look at Lu Zhensi, bowed respectfully, and said softly, "Master Lu, please send a few yamen runners to follow my men and fetch the account books of the other shops for inspection."
Lu Zhensi nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then four yamen runners immediately stood up.
They were dressed in yamen uniforms, had serious expressions, and exuded an air of majesty.
At this moment, Nanny Li, who had been standing silently beside Murong Zixi, suddenly stood up. She bowed to everyone and said firmly and forcefully, "I know where our Madam's dowry shop is located in the capital. Please go with me."
After saying this, she turned around and led the yamen runners away.
Murong Yunhai looked at this scene with a frighteningly gloomy expression. He said in a deep voice: "Xier, that's enough!"
Murong Zixi ignored his words and just said coldly: "Not enough."
Murong Yunhai was furious when he heard this, but he still suppressed his emotions and asked coldly: "You, what do you want to do?"
Murong Zixi looked up at him, her eyes revealing a resolute look, and said calmly: "I want to cut off all ties with the General's Mansion and sever our father-daughter relationship with you."
Her voice was calm, but the determination in it was so strong that one couldn't help but be moved.
After hearing this, Murong Yunhai's face turned pale instantly. He widened his eyes and looked at Murong Zixi in disbelief. His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a word.
After a long while, Murong Yunhai pointed at Murong Zixi and said, "You, what did you say? You wicked girl, you ungrateful wolf. The general's mansion has raised you in vain for so many years."
Murong Zixi raised a mocking smile, "Has the General's Mansion ever supported me? I have never used a single ounce of silver from the General's Mansion for food and clothing. Instead, it is the people in the General's Mansion who use me!"
Murong Yunhai's face turned red. He took a few steps forward, raised his hand and hit Murong Zixi.
Murong Zixi slightly turned sideways and dodged it easily.
Seeing that he failed to hit her, Murong Yunhai became even angrier. When he wanted to attack again, he was frightened by Murong Zixi's cold eyes, and his hand stopped in mid-air.
Murong Zixi looked at him with cold eyes and said in a cold voice: "I am no longer a silly girl who can be beaten and scolded at will."
Murong Yunhai put his hand down and snorted coldly, "It's impossible to sever the relationship. You are my daughter, and that is a fact that cannot be changed."
Murong Zixi was stunned. She didn't expect Murong Yunhai to react like this. She originally thought that Murong Yunhai would agree. After all, she was just an insignificant person to him.
But she didn't want to leave the General's Mansion right now. After all, she hadn't yet destroyed the General's Mansion!
Murong Zixi sneered, "If you don't want to break off relations with me, then return to me all the money you embezzled from my mother's shop over the years, and all the dowry you defrauded from my mother."
Murong Yunhai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
