Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 185 Drag him away and give him fifty lashes.

"Mother, please go see my brother! He's injured!" Mo Lanzhi rushed into Qi Shi's room in a panic, grabbed her mother who was talking to the nanny, and tried to run out.

"What did you say? What happened to Zichen?" Madam Qi's expression changed, and she hurriedly followed her daughter, asking as she walked.

“Brother is injured. It was the girl that bastard brought back who scratched him. The wound is very deep, and he bled a lot!” Mo Lanzhi answered, her face pale.

As they spoke, the mother and daughter arrived at Mo Zichen's courtyard. They saw that although the servants in the courtyard were doing their own work, they all seemed a little absent-minded, glancing at the main house from time to time.

"Brother, I've brought Mother to see you!" Mo Lanzhi shouted as soon as she entered the courtyard.

The couple embracing in the main room separated instantly. After tidying their clothes, one lay down on the bed pretending to be weak, while the other quickly retreated to the outer room, picked up a half-embroidered purse, and began to embroider. Another maid who was already in the outer room glanced at her disdainfully before lowering her head to focus on her own embroidery frame.

"Zichen, where are you hurt? Let your mother take a look." Qi Shi, preoccupied with her son's injury, did not notice the tense atmosphere in the outer room and went straight into the inner room.

"Mother, I'm fine," the pale-faced boy said, his neck wrapped in thick gauze. He looked at Mo Lanzhi behind Qi Shi with reproach in his eyes. "Didn't you say not to disturb Mother?"

"Silly child, how could you hide your injury from your mother?" Madam Qi sat down by the bed, her hands trembling as she tried to touch her son's neck, but afraid of hurting him, she reached out several times but ultimately didn't touch it. With extreme heartache, she said, "My son, is your injury very serious?"

Mo Zichen's eyes flickered, and he smiled weakly, "Mother, my injury isn't serious, don't worry about it, I'll be fine soon."

Qi was so heartbroken that tears streamed down her face. "I'll go find your father right now and ask him to stand up for you. Whoever hurt your mother must pay tenfold in retribution."

At this point, a look of sadness crossed Mo Zichen's face, while Mo Lanzhi beside him said indignantly, "Mother, my brother was injured by that bastard's woman. You must not let them get away with this!"

"What?" Madam Qi's eyebrows shot up immediately. "Mo Ziyuan? How dare he hurt my son! Zichen, you wait, I'm going to find your father right now!"

"Mother!" Mo Zichen grabbed Qi Shi, who was about to leave. "Mother, don't go..."

"Zichen, you..." Seeing her son's evasive eyes, Madam Qi finally realized that something was wrong. She sat back down on his bedside and asked, "What happened? Tell your mother."

"Mother, please don't ask anymore, it's really nothing." Mo Zichen refused to speak no matter what.

However, the more he refused to speak, the more Qi wanted to know. Finally, after much persuasion, he reluctantly said that his father already knew he was injured and who had done it, but had not said anything.

“That was the woman my elder brother brought. Father probably didn’t want to break with him completely, so he chose to let things go. Anyway, my injuries aren’t serious, so Mother, you don’t need to go looking for Father.”

“Zichen, you’re too kind. You’re the second young master of the Duke of Dingguo’s mansion. How could just any Tom, Dick, or Harry hurt you? It’s alright if your father doesn’t stand up for you. Your mother will support you. Just rest well. Your mother will come to see you again tomorrow.” After saying that, Madam Qi tucked the blanket around Mo Zichen and turned to leave.

As her figure disappeared through the courtyard gate, Mo Lanzhi turned her gaze from the window to Mo Zichen and asked, "Brother, what are we going to do next?"

Mo Zichen narrowed his eyes, let out a long breath, and said, "Wait!"

"Wait?" Mo Lanzhi didn't understand. "Wait for what?" "You'll find out when the time comes." Mo Zichen's mind was filled with Lin Xin's graceful figure and beautiful face. He had no mood to deal with Mo Lanzhi, so he gave her a few perfunctory words and then made an excuse that he was tired and needed to rest, telling her to go back first.

"Young Master, I've found out." Not long after Mo Lanzhi left, Mo Zichen's servant trotted back to the Duke's mansion, covered in sweat.

"Come in and talk," Mo Zichen's voice came from inside the house.

"Yes, young master!" The servant scurried into the room and came to Mo Zichen's bedside. He whispered a lot of things in his ear.

"Did you see it clearly?" As he spoke, Mo Zichen's face changed from white to red, from red to green, and finally settled on black. He asked with a stern face.

"I followed the young master all the way and saw it clearly. He climbed over the wall into that house, and Eunuch An arrived at the beginning of Chenshi (7:30 AM). Then the three of them got into the carriage and went to the palace together," the servant said confidently.

"Entered the palace? And Eunuch An personally led her in? Just what is that woman's identity that she has such an honor!" Mo Zichen's expression was really unpleasant. He had been thinking about how to snatch that girl away from Mo Ziyuan, but he never expected that she would have such a deep background.

"Hmph, even if you're a fairy from heaven, I'll make you fall to earth and become my woman, Mo Zichen's woman!" Mo Zichen said fiercely.

"Young master, should we continue with the young master?" the servant asked.

"No need. Go and find out more about that girl, the more detailed the better, and do it quickly."

"Yes, sir, I'll go right away!" The servant accepted the order and left immediately to carry it out.

"Originally, I wasn't planning to deal with you, but who told you to get so close to that bastard Mo Ziyuan! I had no choice but to reluctantly let you go. But before that, it wouldn't be too much to collect some interest!" Mo Zichen lay on the bed, reaching out a hand to touch the thick gauze on his neck, feeling the fine, dense stinging pain, and muttered to himself with his eyes narrowed.

Madam Qi stormed off to the study in the front yard. The servant guarding the door felt a pang of bitterness upon seeing her, but forced a smile and greeted her, "Madam, you've arrived!"

"Is Master in the study?" Madam Qi asked, holding her breath.

The servant nodded, "Yes, the Duke stayed here last night."

"Alright, I'll go find him myself. This is none of your business. You can go now!" Madam Qi waved her hand at the servant.

The servant was not only heartbroken, but his mouth was also bitter. Seeing that Madam Qi was about to knock on the door, he quickly stopped her, saying, "Madam, Master said that he has important matters to attend to today and does not wish to be disturbed."

"You scoundrel!" Upon hearing this, Madam Qi flew into a rage and slapped him across the face. A crisp "smack" rang out, and a red handprint appeared on the servant's face. "I am the lady of this Duke's mansion. How dare you stop me from going wherever I want? Guards, drag him away and give him fifty strokes of the cane!"

The servants looked at each other, and no one moved.

"Hurry up and go! What are you waiting for!" Qi Shi said, raising her voice when no one responded.

However, as if deliberately going against her, all the servants lowered their heads, but not one of them stepped forward to arrest the servant.
