Chapter 536: Verbal Warfare
Seventeen or eighteen people were packed into the room, making it impossible to get out, and in the middle were two men with their faces wrapped in white bandages.
One of them had just vomited blood and was now seriously injured, unable to even speak.
The other one was lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, only his blue lips, nose and eyes showed a faint breath.
In front of them, Hu Xiner, dressed in a jacket and skirt, sat on the ground, her eyes filled with tears, still accusing the Du family of various evil deeds.
Her tone and expression were filled with sorrow, but she suddenly changed the subject: "My husband once told me that the people of Qingzhou are so upright and honest, all because of the Du family's chivalrous and righteous deeds. The Du family is a famous martial arts family, with generations of heroes..."
Under normal circumstances, the Du family would probably be very happy to hear such praise, but now they felt that every word Hu Xiner said was stinging and shameful.
Master Du said with a stern face, "You don't have to flatter me. In the end, you just wanted to save the life of that lecher Lu Yunjue."
Hu Xin'er paused, her eyes gradually becoming firm. "No, I want to tell you that no matter how powerful your Du family is, you must never throw dirty water on our family. Otherwise, we will die to prove our innocence, and we will not hesitate!"
She was the only person in the field who had no martial arts skills, but the aura she exuded at this moment stunned the entire audience.
These words not only pointed out his own difficult situation, but also slowly turned the balance in everyone's hearts towards Miss Du.
At the same time, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and does not blindly show misery or weakness.
Everyone looked at her, and while they felt sorry for her, they couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for this woman.
If she were an ordinary woman, she would have cried her eyes out if her family had encountered such a misfortune, but she never left the Lu family and even faced these grown men with her frail body when her relatives were hurt.
In fact, people in the martial arts world have always looked down upon these delicate girls, especially those like Hu Xiner who have no internal strength at all. In their eyes, they are just people who can only scheme, cry, make a fuss, and even commit suicide.
But now, her actions have earned their respect.
There were also some sober disciples among the Du family. Several of them immediately stepped forward and bowed to Hu Xin'er, saying, "Madam Lu, we brothers were rude just now. Please forgive us."
"If you need any help, just come to me, Hu Lao San!"
As soon as the words fell, other disciples winked at them: "Master hasn't spoken yet."
Master Du watched his own disciple turn against him, and he knew in his heart that what he did was not right, but he was sure that Lu Yunjue was a rapist, so how could he easily swallow his pride and apologize?
His face was tense and he didn't say a word.
More disciples came out: "Don't worry, Madam Lu. If you really can't find a place to go, I can help you find a clinic!"
"Yes, yes. Although we brothers don't have much money, we do have some connections... Hu Laosan's family runs a clinic."
A weak voice said, "Yes, Madam Lu, I can buy medicine from Doctor He and send it to you."
He was a simple-looking young man. After he finished speaking, he immediately added: "Don't worry, it's free."
Hu Xiner was stunned. Although she had praised these disciples when she was defending herself just now, she didn't really mean it that way.
The disciples' rude behavior just now made her subconsciously feel that these disciples were extremely loyal to their master and had no humanity at all.
All those chivalrous morals are just talk.
However, now they ignored their master's advice and offered her a helping hand.
This made her feel a little touched.
Doctor He said leisurely, "Then I will be the peacemaker today. This matter was originally just a misunderstanding, so let's just call it a day."
But Master Du hesitated for only a moment, then his expression hardened: "Let's all shut up! I absolutely refuse to let my daughter recuperate with this rapist."
Mu Qing, lying on the ground, began to cough violently: "Yun Jue... isn't that kind of person..."
Even if it meant risking his life, he didn't want Yun Jue to get hurt!
Master Du said with a stern face, "I already know about your family's affairs, but I will definitely not let that rapist go! This is a personal grudge between me and your Second Young Master, and it will not affect you in the future."
Hu Xin'er wiped away her tears vigorously: "So, Master Du doesn't trust Yun Jue's character at all, and wants him to pay with his life?"
Master Du stiffened his neck and said, "Such a rapist deserves death. The rest of you Du family are of noble character. I will make you a golden nanmu coffin and find a good feng shui site for burial. I hope he will be reborn into a good family in the next life. Is that all right?"
Hu Xiner's worldview was completely shattered. How could she still be like this?
She couldn't help but feel furious. It seemed that all her words had been in vain. This Master Du was unwilling to let his daughter suffer any injustice. He actually wanted to kill Lu Yunjue just because of such a thing!
Her chest heaved violently. "You said Yun Jue flirted with your daughter. Hasn't your daughter flirted with Yun Jue before? Is she also a lecher?!"
Mr. Du thought she was being unreasonable: "What advantage can a girl take? A man should be more magnanimous!"
Hu Xin'er sneered, "Yes, if Miss Du were a man, our Lu family would have already filed a lawsuit against her. She's using the Du family's influence to coerce and bribe, clearly trying to force Na Yun Jue to take her. Our Lu family has endured everything in silence, yet we still have to endure the Du family's threats..."
Master Du quickly interrupted her, "That's enough! She's just a little girl, immature and naive. How can you compare her to that rapist?"
Hu Xin'er scoffed, "What? Are you feeling guilty? It's obvious that she was the one who repeatedly offended our Lu family first, and then refused to help us in the tunnel. If it weren't for Yun Jue's quick wit, she would have been a corpse by now."
Without waiting for Master Du to retort, she barked back, "Why, is your daughter's life the only life in the world that matters? Whose princess is she that requires everyone in the world to flatter her? When she made a mistake, you brushed it off by saying she was ignorant, but you kept harping on Yun Jue. You really have a very broad mind!"
According to Mr. Du's logic, Miss Du, who has a bad reputation, should have died a hundred or a thousand times already. Why doesn't he kill his own daughter himself?
Doctor He was furious when he saw Master Du being so stubborn. "You... not only did you knock on my door in the middle of the night, but you also drove away my business? Get out of here right now! I'm determined to take you in!"
