Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 78: How Can Qin Murong Be So Depraved?

Qin Murong’s knees buckled. She staggered backward two steps.

Ironically, this was the longest time that Wei Zhiqian had ever looked at her, but now his eyes were shooting daggers at her.

The look in his eyes was that of disgust.

He was looking at her as if she made him nauseous.

Did he despise her that much?

Was it because of Tan Mo that he despised her so much?

Yes. Before she’d talked about Tan Mo, although he’d been cold, it hadn’t been to such an extent, and he had at least responded to her properly.

Qin Murong regretted what she had done. If she had known the kind of reaction she was going to get, she wouldn’t have talked about Tan Mo.

But she was still not happy. She can’t compare to that brat Tan Mo…?

The expression in Qin Murong’s eyes fluctuated between regret and disbelief.

BOOM!

The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.

It made a loud, heavy noise that frightened everyone.

Qin Murong was shocked and looked at the door.

She saw a tall old man standing at the door. It was Old Master Wei.

They all looked over. Old Master Wei’s face was pale as he walked in with heavy footsteps.

What made Qin Murong’s heart suddenly drop to her toes was that it wasn’t just Old Master Wei who was here.

Behind Old Master Wei was Old Madame Wei as well.

Even Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan had come.

Behind them were Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, as well as the three Tan family brothers.

Qin Murong couldn’t have cared less about the Tan family.

Her lips were quivering and her voice was shaking as she said in a panic, “Grandpa Wei, Grandma Wei, uncle, and aunt.”

How long had these people been listening outside the door?

From their reactions, it seemed as if they had overheard her talking about Tan Mo?

But there had been nothing wrong with what she’d said.

Old Master Wei didn’t even respond to her greeting but said coldly, “If I didn’t know how Mufeng and Muye are and had only met you, I would have questioned how the Qin family had raised their children. How could your thoughts and words be so dirty?”

“No, I didn’t mean… Grandpa Wei, you misunderstood…” Qin Murong tried to explain in a panic.

“Don’t call me that. I can’t afford for you to address me this way.” At this time, when Old Master Wei looked at Qin Murong, he felt sick to his stomach.

“Mo Mo is such a good child, and yet you’ve twisted her well-meaning intentions into something else.” Old Madame Wei shook with anger. She regarded Tan Mo as her own child, so how could she stand Qin Murong slandering her? “From now on, don’t you dare say Mo Mo’s name. You aren’t worthy of saying it!”

Qin Murong felt as if she was going to collapse, and she could only stand upright by using the wall as support.

She felt as if she was doomed.

She had become despicable in the eyes of the Wei family’s elders.

She had only said a few words.

Yet look how they were scolding her just for Tan Mo.

“I didn’t mean what you think I meant. Please listen to my explanation. Zhiqian misunderstood what I meant to say. Why would I think of Mo Mo that way?” Qin Murong said hurriedly.

Old Madame Wei suddenly rushed toward Qin Murong and smacked her arm.

Yesterday, Old Madame Wei had smacked Tan Mo because she had been distressed that Tan Mo might have turned in her exam ahead of time because of Wei Zhiqian being injured.

It had been a smack of controlled strength.

But now, this time Old Madame Wei used all her strength.

“I said not to say Mo Mo’s name anymore!” Old Madame Wei gasped for breath and said, “Today, I will take advantage of my seniority to beat you. You can go back to the Qin family and tattle. Let the Qin family’s elders come to see me.”

Qin Murong clutched her beaten arm and her tears fell. She couldn’t help feeling aggrieved.

“Let me explain…”

“No need to explain,” Xiao Menghan took a step forward and said, “I will go to your aunt and your mother in person and tell them what you said today word for word. I would like to ask them, is this the way they have brought up the Qin family’s children? Slandering a 15-year-old girl?”

Dong Hanbi was the matriarch of the Qin family, so if they wanted to punish Qin Murong, naturally they had to go directly to the head of the family.

It was more effective to find Dong Hanbi and Lu Yiling.

If Dong Hanbi found out about what Qin Murong had done, naturally Qin Zhenglu would know as well.

Even if Qin Murong’s parents wanted to secretly make amends and cover for Qin Murong, they wouldn’t be able to do it.

Qin Murong was really scared when she heard that word of this incident was going to reach the head of the Qin family.

She felt like kneeling down. She grabbed Xiao Menghan’s arm and said, “Auntie, auntie, please forgive me this time. I spoke without thinking. I really didn’t mean to slander Mo…”

Qin Murong thought of Old Madame Wei’s warning, and the burning pain on her arm reminded her, so Qin Murong quickly clamped her mouth shut. She didn’t dare to say Tan Mo’s name again.

She didn’t know how angry Old Madame Wei was, but the strength of her hand had been very strong.

“I really didn’t mean to slander her. I didn’t mean it like that.” Qin Murong cried as she defended herself. “I was just…just afraid that her reputation would be affected if word got out, so I…just reminded her. I was doing so for her sake. I didn’t mean to slander her. Otherwise…otherwise, I would have said it a long time ago instead of reminding her here, wouldn’t I?”

“There was no need for you to worry about her reputation,” Wei Mingwen said with disgust. “Who would be so nasty to think like you? You also know that Mo Mo is young, only 15 years old, yet you dare to defame her like this. How can you be so vicious at such a young age?”

She even wants to marry Wei Zhiqian?

No way!

If word of this matter really spread, not only Tan Mo, but even Wei Zhiqian’s reputation could suffer.

The four elders of the Wei family had realized this immediately.

One was a cute little girl who had been with the Old Madame for many years, had brought her boundless joy, and treated Wei Zhiqian with sincerity.

One was the Wei family’s future heir who was responsible for the future of the Wei family.

How could Qin Murong be so depraved?

In Qin Murong’s presence, Wei Mingwen said to Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, “It was our fault that Mo Mo suffered such a grievance. Our family’s child didn’t protect Mo Mo well enough and didn’t act appropriately. He was the one who didn’t protect Mo Mo as well as he should, so he should be punished.”

Wei Mingwen looked at Wei Zhiqian’s back, and said to Tan Wenci, “After Qin Murong is sent away, I will let Zhiqian kneel in front of you and receive domestic discipline.”

Wei Mingwen was serious, and neither of the two elders contradicted him.

Even though Wei Zhiqian was still injured.

The Tan family didn’t know what the Wei family’s domestic discipline was.

But the Wei family’s rules had always been strict, so the Wei family’s domestic discipline probably wouldn’t be light.

“Don’t say that.” In his extremely angry state, Tan Wenci was actually exceedingly calm. “Zhiqian and Mo Mo did nothing wrong. Qin Murong is the only one in the wrong. Zhiqian is also a victim. If word got out, wouldn’t people say he was a beast? Zhiqian is innocent so he shouldn’t suffer any domestic discipline.”

Besides, Wei Zhiqian was still injured.

How could they let this happen?

Couldn’t it endanger Wei Zhiqian’s life?

Seeing how Tan Wenci was thinking about this, Wei Mingwen gained more respect for Tan Wenci.

However, that was a separate matter.
