Wei Baozhu ran out, cursing inwardly as she went. She had never suffered such humiliation in her life. Being forced to apologize in front of so many people was incredibly shameful. And that wretched girl who threw her to the ground was just too much.
Wei Baozhu stormed back home and ran into her room. Wei Xiongjie and Wei Zilin, who were sitting in the living room, found it strange that Xiao Baozhu ran back to her room without even glancing at them.
Wei Xiongjie said to Wei Zilin, "Zilin, go see what's wrong with Baozhu. Why did she rush back to her room in such a huff without saying goodbye?"
Upon hearing his father's instructions, Wei Zilin replied, "Yes, Father. I'll go ask Baozhu what happened. She went shopping at the department store with Mother today."
Wei Zilin walked to Wei Baozhu's room and pushed the door open, only to find it closed. He knocked on the door, "Baozhu, open the door, it's your second brother."
Wei Baozhu sat in her room, fuming. Hearing Wei Zilin's voice, she stood up and opened the door. When Wei Zilin opened the door and saw that Wei Baozhu's eyes were red, he immediately became anxious.
Wei Zilin tugged at Wei Baozhu's sleeve and asked, "Baozhu, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Didn't you go shopping at the department store with your mother?"
Wei Baozhu said to Wei Zilin, feeling wronged, "Second brother, I was bullied. A country bumpkin threw me on the ground. My butt hurts so much from the fall, and they even forced me to apologize."
Upon hearing that his younger sister had been thrown to the ground and forced to apologize, Wei Zilin immediately flew into a rage. Anyone who dared to bully his sister was simply courting death.
"Baozhu, don't worry, your second brother will get justice for you. I won't let you be bullied for nothing. Tell me who bullied you," Wei Zilin said fiercely.
Hearing that her second brother was going to stand up for her, Wei Baozhu was overjoyed. She knew that her second brother knew many thugs, and dealing with the two women would be a piece of cake.
Wei Baozhu pouted and said, "Second brother, you really have to help me get justice! This justice is a bit difficult to get. One of the women is Gu Moting's wife, and the other one who threw me on the ground is someone I don't recognize."
Hearing that it was Gu Moting's wife, Wei Zilin hesitated for a moment. It was said that Gu Moting and his brothers had no dealings with the Wei family, but everyone knew these two brothers were not to be trifled with. Gu Moting had a stern face and an aura of unapproachability, while Gu Moli was notoriously ruthless; anyone who bullied him would be thoroughly humiliated that very night or the next day, and what was infuriating was that no evidence could be found to prove he was responsible.
But seeing his sister's aggrieved look, Wei Zilin hardened his heart and decided to seek justice. After all, Gu Moting was far away and the emperor was far away, so what was there to fear? He would only have someone beat up the people who bullied his sister; he wouldn't do anything else.
When Zhao Lihua returned to the Wei family home, her expression was far from pleasant. Wei Xiongjie was puzzled to see her like this; his daughter had stormed back, and his wife also had a long face. What had happened?
Wei Xiongjie thought for a moment and then asked, "Lihua, what's wrong? Didn't you and Baozhu go shopping at the department store? Why did Baozhu come back so angry, and you have such a long face too? What happened between you two outside?"
Hearing Wei Xiongjie's question made Zhao Lihua feel even more choked up. She glanced at Wei Xiongjie, and for some reason, Xiao Xue's face came to mind again. Zhao Lihua harbored some resentment towards Wei Xiongjie; he held no official position. Other women's wives were always addressed as "the wife of a regimental commander," "the wife of a brigade commander," "the wife of a division commander," "the wife of an army commander," or "the wife of a commander-in-chief."
