Enxi Hall
Led by Old Duke Guo, several family elders were present, each with a stern look and a faint trace of anger on their faces.
Mo Zili's father, Mo Qingshan, was particularly agitated; his face turned purple-red, and he was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling violently, a picture of fury about to burst. Upon seeing his son being carried into Enxi Hall by a group of little servants, he stood up ready to strike.
Eldest Master Mo Yuanshan, whose seat was close to him, rose and grasped him firmly, saying, "Second brother, stay your hand. Let's first hear what Zili has to say."
Lady Bai saw her husband about to hit their son, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. It would be one matter if it were an ordinary beating, but now her son was gravely injured, and her husband was in a fierce rage. What if he harmed their son beyond recovery? She had only this one son!
