Chapter 574: Chapter 574 Crying for Daddy and Shouting for Mom Chapter 574: Chapter 574 Crying for Daddy and Shouting for Mom Madam Ruan was beaten until she was crying for her parents, her hair disheveled, her face swollen and red, her body covered with bruises of blue and purple, a terribly pitiful sight.
“Dad, Dad, please don’t beat mom.” Mo Xiuzhi cried as she rushed out, standing in front of Madam Ruan to prevent him from hitting her.
“This shameless harlot doesn’t deserve to be your mother, girl. Move aside and let me put an end to her life. It will save our family from disgrace,” Mo Daoyan’s chest heaved as he spoke, seething with anger, unable to believe that he, of all people, would be wearing a cuckold’s horns.
“Mom said she didn’t do it, and you believe others just because they say a few words.” Mo Xiuzhi refused to move aside and continued crying, “Dad, look at what you’ve done to mom. If you continue to beat her, she might die. When brother returns from the Academy, how will you explain this to him?”
At that moment, Madam Ruan’s face was beaten to a pulp, resembling a pig’s head, her lips swollen high, unable to speak a word in her defense, a truly miserable plight.
This beating was a gratuitous suffering for her.
She should never have done the one thing: calling Ruan Xinzhi, that bastard, to pose as a mage. Madam Ruan regretted it deeply as Mo Daoyan beat her black and blue; the slightest movement caused her so much pain that she grimaced, the bitterness she felt was known only to herself.
After his daughter’s reminder, Mo Daoyan then thought of his son. Indeed, if he killed this wretched woman, he would be destroying his son’s future as well.
In Moli Country’s laws, there is a clear stipulation: relatives of murderers are barred from any government examinations, meaning they would be forever disqualified from any official career.
Forget about the Juren exam; even the most basic Child Student exam would be impossible to partake in.
“Enough, your life is spared for now,” Mo Daoyan said angrily as he turned around, seeking the lover to unleash his fury, but as he did, the courtyard was empty except for Madam Xie and her daughter. The Fake Monk was nowhere to be seen.
As it happened, Ruan Xinzhi took advantage of Mo Daoyan’s frenzied beating of Madam Ruan to cover the wound on his head and, while no one was paying attention, slipped away unnoticed.
Everyone was focused on Mo Daoyan’s assault on Madam Ruan, and nobody noticed when the Fake Monk left. Moreover, the loud wailing of Madam Ruan was too distracting; no one observed his escape.
“Eh? Where did that swindler go?”
The crowd turned their heads searching everywhere, but they couldn’t find even a shadow of him.
By that time, Ruan Xinzhi had already fled the village, desperately running for his life. He certainly wasn’t going to foolishly wait around for someone to come and beat him.
Mo Daoyan threw the stick he was holding to the ground, turned around, and glared fiercely at Madam Ruan, shouting, “You wait, you wretched woman.” After saying this, he stormed off in a fit of anger.
Since they were married, Mo Daoyan had never hit Madam Ruan. After their son was born, he cherished her like a precious gem. This time, however, he lost his temper and beat her until she was unrecognizable.
After all, which man could stay calm upon being cuckolded? The villagers understood Mo Daoyan’s behavior.
“Mm-mm…”
Madam Ruan’s face had been beaten to a pulp, and she couldn’t speak, only able to make incoherent noises. As she watched her husband’s retreating figure, anxiety was written all over her face.
“Mm-mm…” She tugged at Mo Xiuzhi’s sleeve insistently, and pointed at Mo Daoyan’s retreating figure.
Mo Xiuzhi was utterly confused. “Mom, what are you trying to say? I’m telling you, don’t provoke dad. He’s in a bad mood! It’s better for you to lay low for a while. Let’s talk about this when he’s calmed down.”
