107 Some Families Celebrate, Some Worry (2/2)
This is like casually planting flowers but inadvertently growing a willow! This was really akin to using a single dollar to win a million dollars!
Not only that, Li You Ran's once handsome and confident face was now covered with seven or eight scars! But these seven or eight scars have completely disfigured his face! If Li You Ran did not instantly react by closing his eyes, perhaps he would have already become blind!
But even so, Li You Ran would have to wear a veil for the rest of his life…
This explosion really was… succeeding without the use of any effort.
Some people will be happy, and some people will be full of worry.
Compared to the joy and jubilation of the Jun Family, a cloud of anxiety and misery hung over the Li Family, and the Dugu Family was actually about to explode like a volcano!
Ever since Princess Ling Ming paid a visit, the Dugu Family was like a massive barrel of gunpowder that just detonated. Dugu Xiao Yi had been discreetly shuttled away under the arrangement of her grandmother.
Dugu Zong Heng pointed at Dugu Wu Di's face as he let loose a torrent of profanity for two entire hours, sporadically letting loose extremely angry kicks and punches. Great General Dugu Wu Di grimaced in pain but did not dare to fight back as he continued to agree obsequiously; the anger in his heart was not any less than his father's.
”You're a pig!? You are a useless son of a bitch! I let you look after your daughter! Is this how you look after your daughter? Huh? Damned good for nothing! You are nothing but a useless pig!”
Grandfather Dugu was infuriated.
”But compared to a pig, it will still be better to look at than Jun Mo Xie! Fuck! Do you know who that Jun Mo Xie is? How could your eyes be so blind?”
Dugu Wu Di's face was covered in spit, but he didn't dare to wipe if off. He stammered with some difficulty. ”I also didn't know about this. If I had known earlier…”
This led to another round of raining curses.
”Pui! You didn't know? You didn't even know this much, and you call yourself a father!”
Grandfather Dugu almost went insane with anger.
”That Jun Mo Xie is the capital's infamous debauchee; respectable people a stay three houses away from him, and even villains stay clear of him! Which daughter of a respectable household would be willing to marry him? And you say that she happens to be our family's, Xiao Yi?! Is the inside of your head stuffed with tofu or is it filled with water? Or do you just want to get your ass kicked?! Bastard! Good for nothing! Idiot! How did I, your brilliant father, raised you into a spoiled and rotten pig?!”
Dugu Wu Di submissively endured the torrential rain of sputter and could not even open his eyes. ”Father, please calm down. Xiao Yi's indiscretion had started just recently. We can assume that the relationship between the two hadn't made much progress. There is still time…”
His words thoroughly stirred the hornet's nest.
Dugu Zong Heng stood up in a fit of violent rage and let loose a flying kick that launched Dugu Wu Di's tall and sturdy body into the air. He stomped his feet and let out a rain of curses.
”YOU! I can't believe the words that are coming out of your mouth! What do you even mean that they haven't made much progress? Do you have wanted them to have made progress? Not too late? Does your daughter have to be pregnant for it to be too late? You don't think Jun Mo Xie that son of a bitch can't make it happen?!”
The more he talked, the angrier he became. Dugu Zong Heng grabbed his son and beat him up!
His mother normally would have intervened long ago, but she actually stood to the side and hadn't made any indication to step in. Instead, she fanned the flames and said. ”You deserve this! How did this old woman give birth to such a dim-witted son??!”
Dugu Zong Heng finally vented some of his anger after beating the living daylight out of his son. He said with a dark expression on his face. ”We must put an end to this. Use this time that Xiao Yi is accompanying the princess in the palace and handle this affair in a satisfactory manner! If I hear something like this happen again, I'll personally kick the ever living shit out of you! Why haven't you left yet? Do you want this old man to go personally?!”
A bloody-nosed, swollen-faced Great General Dugu Wu Di hastily scrambled up off the ground, turned tail, and ran.
Once Dugu Wu Di returned to his courtyard, it immediately devolved into panic and chaos. He first vented his frustrations by yelling at his wife and concubines before passing down an order: Dugu Ying, Dugu Xiong, Dugu Hao, Dugu Jie, Dugu Chong, Dugu Shang, and Dugu Qian are to return immediately from the army camps outside the city! There must be no delay! If they are even late half a step, then they will be punished by martial law, no,… family law!
Great General Dugu wanted to behead Jun Mo Xie! That abominable little brat dared to seduce my daughter and caused I, your father, to suffer my father's outburst and abuse! Are you bored of life? You think I, your father, won't dare to move against you because of your grandfather? I won't be satisfied until I skin you alive just for beating I suffered today, not mentioning teasing my baby Xiao Yi! Humph! Humph!
The seven men identified by Dugu Wu Di were all precisely the younger generation of the Dugu family. Dugu Zong Heng had chosen their names in such a manner that the seven men's given names would combine to mean Heroes and legends bravely rushing forward'! A truly imposing name.
