Chapter 469 Want to kill the Zhou family?
Young Master Liu cupped his face in his hands, looking at Madam Wei in astonishment. "Mother, why did you hit me?! Don't you know about Tao'er's background? Her family is just an ordinary farming household!"
Wei pointed at him, her anger blazing, and said, "What peasant? She used to be a maid in a wealthy family in the capital. She eagerly offered herself as a concubine to the young master, but was kicked out. Later, she became an old man's mistress!"
"What's even more outrageous is that she wants to be married into the Zhou family through a ghost marriage! This woman is only interested in currying favor with the powerful and wealthy!"
Young Master Liu was taken aback, then waved his hand and laughed, "Mother, don't talk nonsense, Tao'er is not that kind of person."
"And so what if you like to curry favor with the powerful? Who doesn't like money? Who doesn't like power and status? Mother, you wanted to be the Liu family's legal wife back then, didn't you feel the same way?"
Madam Wei was furious at her son's behavior. "Well, now you dare to talk about your mother like this! Let me tell you, your father said that if you don't kick that woman out, he'll pretend you're not his son."
Young Master Liu's face turned pale, and he asked excitedly, "Mother, what did you say? What does Father mean by that?"
Madam Wei said coldly, "Your father means that if you insist on being with that woman, then you will no longer be the eldest young master of the Liu family."
Young Master Liu's eyes widened, and he froze on the spot. "No, I'm going to tell Father!"
Wei stopped him and said, "Yun'er, your mother has worked hard to get everything she has now. Don't ruin all my efforts and drive that woman away."
Young Master Liu yelled at her in despair, "Don't even think about it! None of you will separate us!"
Although this young master had many concubines, he only believed that Ma Tao'er was truly sincere towards him.
He was willing to give up everything for her.
After leaving the Wei family, Young Master Liu went to find Master Liu.
Master Liu reiterated his stance: if that woman wasn't driven away, he would leave the Liu family and have no further connection with the family's assets.
Young Master Liu refused to believe that his father was so heartless towards him, and even declared, "Father, I'm your only son. You still need me to carry on the family line. You can't send me away!"
After saying that, he got up and left.
Master Liu was so angry that he trembled all over. He immediately summoned his trusted confidants and began to thoroughly investigate the matter of Xiao Liuzi's disappearance, Madam Liu's death, and Xiao Liuzi being beaten.
This investigation took half a month.
For the past two weeks, Young Master Liu has been out of power, and no one has dared to oppose the Zhou family anymore.
With the Zhou family's rouge shop in Beidi thriving, Du Wanchun felt much more relaxed.
Xiao Liu's injuries have mostly healed.
Du Wanchun sent someone to bring him back.
Young Master Liu continued to pamper Ma Tao'er every day. When he accidentally learned that Little Liu was not dead, he immediately had murderous intent again.
He already harbored resentment towards the Zhou family, so he decided to go all the way and spent a large sum of money to send more than a dozen vicious and ruthless thugs to the Zhou residence to kill everyone inside.
That way, no one can escape.
This was the first time Du Wanchun had encountered such a ruthless and swift man.
However, Master Liu had already been keeping an eye on Young Master Liu for a long time.
Before the group even reached the Zhou family's door, they were intercepted by Young Master Liu's men.
Young Master Liu waited for their good news in Ma Tao'er's room.
Around midnight, there was a knock on the door.
Young Master Liu got up and opened the door, only to see the assassins he had sent out. "How was it? Were the Zhou family members all killed?"
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the assassin collapsed to the ground with a thud, coughing up blood and dying.
"It really is you!"
A loud shout came from ahead.
Young Master Liu looked around and saw his father slowly walking towards him. "Father...Father...Why are you here?"
Old Master Liu kicked the corpse on the ground away, shouting, "Why did I come? If I hadn't come, you would have ruined our entire Liu family!"
"Do you know what crime it is to massacre an official of the imperial court?"
"That would mean the extermination of nine generations of your family!"
"You're really asking for it!"
Master Liu practically roared out in anger.
Young Master Liu staggered back two steps, stammering, "Father, they're all dead, so no one will know it was us! Father!"
Master Liu was so angry that his beard trembled. He grabbed the crown on the man's head and said sternly, "You think you can kill the entire Zhou family with just a few people?! You fool! You vicious fool!"
