At the old Mo residence…
Just as Mo Shaoyuan was about to go to bed, he saw Uncle Guan run towards him hurriedly and he reported, “Old Master, something bad had happened. Young Master has captured Young Madam back.”
Upon hearing that Gu Li was here, Old Master Fu was so excited that he directly ignored the word ‘captured’. He couldn’t stop smiling as he said, “Oh, is that brat finally enlightened? He finally knows that he should bring Little Pear1 back here? Quick, Old Guan, bring me my jacket.”
Seeing that Old Master Guan was so happy, Uncle Guan couldn’t bear to burst his bubble. “Young Master locked Young Madam up in the ancestral hall. Apparently, Young Madam has violated the family rules and he wants to punish her.”
“What?!”
…
Upon learning that Gu Li was locked up in the ancestral hall, Old Master Fu couldn’t sit still for a moment and immediately rushed over.
When the two rows of bodyguards guarding the door saw him, they respectfully greeted him but they didn’t allow him to enter. “We’re sorry, Old Master. Young Master has ordered that no one is to enter the ancestral hall.”
They were all Mo Shiting’s trusted subordinates and they only obeyed his orders.
He didn’t expect that as the head of the family, he wouldn’t even be able to enter the ancestral hall. Old Master Mo hit his walking stick hard on the ground and reprimanded sternly, “How dare you!”
The bodyguards bowed their heads in unison. “Old Master, please calm down!”
Old Master Mo was even angrier. “Well then I want to see who would dare to stop me!”
With that, he picked up his walking stick and rushed over aggressively.
The bodyguards looked at each other, but no one dared to stop him.
After all, he was Mo Shiting’s biological grandfather. If anything happens to him, they wouldn’t be able to compensate for it even with their lives.
Besides, the door was locked from the inside, so it couldn’t be opened from the outside.
As expected, after trying a few times to no avail, Mo Shaoyuan cursed out loud angrily, “Mo Shiting, you bastard! What did you do to Little Pear?!”
No one replied.
The ancestral hall was so big that his voice couldn’t reach Mo Shiting’s ears at all.
Of course, Old Master Mo knew this, but he still refused to give up. “Mo Shiting, come out! Little Pear is such an obedient child. How could she have broken the family rules?! Tell me, which one did she break?! Huh?!
“Fine, keep up with your act then! Be careful not to lose your wife and end up staying single for the rest of your life!
“Mo Shiting—”
Despite him doing that for a long time, he didn’t even manage to scold Mo Shiting.
Old Master Mo held his chest and panted as he said to Uncle Guan, “Let’s go back.”
“Yes.”
