472 I Can Cure This Illness! (1/2)
”You men go and drink. We women have no reason to join you! Come with me, Xiao Yi!” The last part was spoken a bit harshly. And, that was because Dugu Xiao Yi had begun to move towards Jun Mo Xie for a chat. However, she came to a stop when she heard this…
The Old Lady suddenly stopped while she was leaving. She then turned to look at Dugu Zong Heng and Dugu Wu Di, ”Ah, I forgot to ask you one thing. Didn't you say that Jun Zhan Tian's grandson was an unbearable debauchee, difficult to educate, extremely rotten, and worth less than a dog's meat? These were the words you two had spoken. But, how is everything so different when I see him today? I think this one is much better to behold than those seven idiots out there. You two will give me a proper explanation for this later.”
Dugu Zong Heng was stunned.
Dugu Wu Di was stupefied.
[Explanation? What explanation? How can we explain?! We also want an explanation for Jun Mo Xie's rapid growth over these few months! But, who will explain it to us?!
”He's such a good youngster. He possesses a strong character, and doesn't submit to tyranny. He has an unwavering mind, doesn't speak out of place. So, how can he be called a debauchee? Did the two of you deliberately distort the facts for me because you don't think much of the Jun Family? Or are you worried about the Emperor's opinion? Are the two of you worried that the union of two military families through marriage will look suspicious to him? Humph! Let me tell you that your narrow-minded fears have messed with my precious granddaughter's marriage! Is my granddaughter's lifelong happiness determined by your likings or fears? In fact, I find this Jun Mo Xie to be far better than the two of you! And, let me tell you that I'm very angry about this matter! I'm not done with this yet! This isn't finished for the two of you!”
The Old Lady roared before she finally left. The Dugu father-and-son looked at each other. They wanted to cry, but couldn't conjure the tears…
That army of women slowly retreated. However, the men could still hear the Old Lady's harsh voice echoing as the women left. It sounded like a battle cry…”I don't care how you go about it, but we have to turn this little girl into someone worthy of being a first wife! And, as soon as possible! You've spoilt her. What have you been teaching her? She is supposed to behave like a girl from a powerful family; don't you agree? Would you ever want a girl like this one as the first wife for your own son? I'll leave this matter to the eleven of you! And, I personally sweep your bodies outside the family's door if you're not successful at this task. Xiao Yi, why are you frowning my dear one? Come to Grandma and smile! Don't fear; leave everything to Grandma! Grandma will fix everything for you! She'll take of everything…”
The eleven ladies who had been scolded by the Old Lady a moment ago became silent when they heard this last part. Dugu Zong Heng, Dugu Wu Di, and Jun Mo Xie also felt powerless…
She had given a harsh chiding to the ladies on one hand. And, she had fiercely protected her granddaughter on the other…
[How can you teach her anything like this? What can one achieve in their life with this?]
The three men looked at each other in silence. They were quiet for a long time. Old Man Dugu Zong Heng was the first to react with a shout, ”Get some fu*king wine! Serve it! Serve it! Are you people fu*king dead? Hurry up!”
Dugu Wu Di also jumped into action when he saw his father yelling. He didn't yell himself, but he moved his hands and made a few gestures to help…
The table was filled with good food and fine wine in no time.
Dugu Chong and the others had also returned with Tang Yuan. Their timing was also good; they were truly well trained.
The eleven men sat down around two tables. They had initially wanted to merge their tables. But, everyone had a big body; except Jun Mo Xie. In fact, they could be regarded as 'huge' from the standards of an average person. And, Fatty Tang was particularly huge. In fact, he took the place of four men when he sat down. Everyone was silent. It could be assumed that they wouldn't have been able to move their hands to eat their food if they had sat around the same table…
Dugu Zong Heng drained his cup of wine in a toast, and wiped his mouth, ”Jun Brat, it needn't be mentioned that you must take very good care of my precious granddaughter. This man won't leave you alone if you hurt her even a little! Others might be afraid of that old Jun Zhan Tian, but this old man isn't!”
Jun Mo Xie couldn't even force a smile since he understood this very clearly. These words had been meant in a good way. However, everything coming from the mouths of this family's people sounded like a provocation or a threat. After all, the people of this family could never speak gently…
”Yes! Jun Mo Xie, I'll flay your skin if you dare to trouble my daughter!” Dugu Wu Di raised his glass and clanked it against Jun Mo Xie's. Then, he looked up and gulped. And, the wine disappeared from his glass…
”Brother-in-law… haha… Brother-in-law! Come and drink…” The towering 'Heroes and Legends' rushed forward, and toasted with their wine glasses. Their attitude had made it evident that they wanted to get the ”pretty boy” drunk.
Dugu Zong Heng looked at the youngsters and sighed. He couldn't help speak-up in a desolate tone, ”You boys drink up! I won't accompany you… this old man can only drink three glasses now… But, I could've drunk a thousand of these without getting drunk in my youth! I used to be an elegant and towering hero!”
Dugu Wu Di hastily comforted him, ”Father, you needn't be worried about it. The injury on your lower back is serious! But, your injury won't inhibit you once we find that Snow Ferret's fur. Then, you can also drink as much as you like!”
