Chapter 271 – Truth And Wei Ziyang’S Fury
“Eldest Brother!” Wei Qiuju did not expect that Wei Ziyang would suddenly appear and she called out to him.
“Eldest Brother!” Wei Yuewu also forced herself to stand up with the support of the table.
“Did you hurt your foot?” Seeing Wei Yuewu’s appearance, Wei Ziyang asked in a daze. He happened to meet the doctor just now, who said that his mother had broken her leg. The doctor also told him that Lady Li’s conditions were not good and that his father was also here. Therefore, Wei Ziyang hurriedly called a servant of Li Mansion to lead him here.
However, he did not see his father and mother. Instead, he saw that Wei Yuewu was injured in the foot, which made him think that he might have heard wrong.
“Second Uncle and Second Aunt are inside. Second Aunt’s foot is injured. I am not seriously injured, but Second Aunt’s injury is very serious!” Wei Yuewu smiled and pointed to the wing room, pretending to speak in a low voice, “Eldest Brother, go take a look, but don’t disturb them. Second Aunt is resting.”
“Alright, I’ll go take a look!” Hearing that something had really happened to his mother, Wei Ziyang hurriedly said. Ignoring Wei Yuewu and Wei Qiuju, he strode towards the wing room. After a few steps, he remembered Wei Yuewu’s words and deliberately lightened his steps. Her mother was still resting at this time, so he really could not disturb her.
Seeing Wei Ziyang slowing down, Wei Yuewu slowly sat down again. Her butterfly-like long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and her clear eyes carried a bit of thoughtfulness. Compared to the other people of the second branch, she truly felt that Wei Ziyang was an upright person. However, with such a mother and two younger sisters, he might stand on the opposite side of her at any time.
It was time to let him see what kind of person Lady Li was…
This opportunity was not bad!
When Wei Luowu returned to the room and saw that Lady Li was still unconscious on the bed, he directly picked up a cup of cold water from the side and poured it onto Lady Li.
It was in the middle of winter. When the cold water poured down on her head, Lady Li woke up slowly. When she saw Wei Luowu staring at her as if he wanted to eat her, she recalled Wei Luowu’s actions just now. She couldn’t help but shiver. Trembling, she resisted the pain and cried out, “My lord!”
“Shut up, you bitch! How dare you fool around with another man in Li Mansion? What face did you leave for Ziyang?” Wei Luowu shouted sternly.
“This… this has nothing to do with me. I… I don’t know what on earth…” Lady Li stammered.
“You don’t know? This is Li Mansion, not the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Today, Li Mansion is the host, and the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang is the guest. There shouldn’t be anyone who set you up, right? Are you going to tell me that the man was brought to you by others? You hid in such a remote courtyard, did you think I would be kept in the dark?”
Wei Luowu glared at her coldly and berated her hatefully.
As long as he thought of the scene he had just seen when he entered the room, Wei Luowu wanted to cut Lady Li into pieces. Did this bitch know what she was doing? If people found out what happened today, how could he have the face to stand in the court? How could he see the day when he was able to stand up with head high in front of his elder brother, Marquis Hua Yang?
Lady Li was rendered speechless by Wei Luowu’s questions. Of course, it was she who had sent someone to pick up this man, an actor in the opera troupe who performed in Li Mansion today. He was pretty good-looking, so she lured him here with the goal of ruining Wei Yuewu’s reputation. When the time came and Wei Yuewu took the bait, she just needed to say that Wei Yuewu was of loose morals and had taken a fancy to this actor who performed in Li Mansion.
But she didn’t expect things to turn out like this. What she had done before would only make people feel that she had an ulterior motive. Moreover, she really couldn’t explain herself clearly now. After all, when Wei Luowu came in just now, she was entangled with the man on the bed…
If she hadn’t seen Wei Luowu breaking that actor’s neck, she wouldn’t have woken up from the effect of the drug. But before she could completely understand what was going on, she saw Wei Luowu breaking her leg and then she fainted.
Lady Li desperately thought that she really couldn’t explain this matter clearly!
“From today on, you will be recuperating in Li Mansion. Even if your son gets married, you don’t have to come back!”
Wei Luowu said in a stern voice. The words that came out of his mouth were even more ruthless.
At the door, Wei Ziyang was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand why Wei Luowu was so ruthless. He pushed the door and was about to enter, but he immediately froze upon hearing Lady Li’s words.
“My lord, I know that even if I had a thousand mouths, you would still think that I was a cheap woman and cheated on you. But Ziyang is my son. I am currently recuperating in Li Mansion. If Ziyang gets married and I don’t go back, what will others think of me? Are you forcing me to die?”
Lady Li cried loudly without caring about her image. She once again tasted the despair brought by death!
When she saw Wei Luowu clearly in the main room, she had already despaired, but she still hoped that Wei Luowu would show leniency towards her for the sake of their decade-long marriage and their children.
Wei Ziyang had been engaged long before. Previously, they had been preparing the wedding for him. There wasn’t much time left before their son got married. Lady Li had even thought about advancing Wei Ziyang’s wedding so that she could return to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang earlier.
No matter what the reason was, a mother must appear when her son got married.
“So you still know you should be a human? Do you still have the face to be a human? How about calling other people in to see how cheap you are? You bitch, you even hooked up with a man on such a day. If your mother knew that you were shameless to such an extent, she would probably spit blood and choke herself to death. If Ziyang knew that his mother was so despicable, he would rather not have a mother.”
Wei Ziyang’s hand that was holding the door handle trembled.
“My lord.. I… I was really wronged. If it weren’t for that slut…” Lady Li cried out in a shrill voice.
“Shut up. Are you telling me that this matter is related to Yuewu again? Did she witness your affair with the adulterer so that you want to take her life? Li, heaven is watching your every move. Even if Yuewu didn’t see it today, someone would eventually find out about you!”
Wei Luowu laughed out of anger. “Li, do you want me to pull out the adulterer in the main room for everyone to see? Do you think you can feel proud when you go out in the future?”
“My lord…” Lady Li cried. Unfortunately, this time, Wei Luowu was not willing to pay any attention to her. At the moment, he felt that the Lady Li in front of him was not only ugly but also disgusting. He recalled the scene of Lady Li in scant clothing when he entered the room. She did not look like a noble lady at all! How could she deserve to be the wife of a minister?
Back then, he was really blind so that he agreed to marry such a cheap woman.
Because of this slut, his concubines had failed to bear children for him. Besides, this slut even made him a cuckold. Once she returned to Li Mansion, she couldn’t wait to meet her adulterer, not even letting go of her mother’s birthday.
Outside the door, Wei Ziyang suddenly turned around and walked directly to the main room, whose door was only slightly closed. He pushed it open and looked inside. There was nothing strange about the living space, so he went straight to the inner room.
The moment the inner room was pushed open, he saw a man lying on the bed. His upper body was bare and his lower body was in a mess. The quilt on the bed was also in a mess. The man’s neck was stiff and twisted. It was obvious that he had been dead for a while.
So, his mother really had an affair with this man? Wei Ziyang almost couldn’t stand, and he only managed to stabilize himself by grabbing the door with his trembling hands.
He grew up at the border and was used to life and death. It was really nothing to see a dead person. But now, this man had an affair with his most respected mother. How could he bear it?
However, the truth was right in front of him. The words that his father and mother had said just now were also resounding in his ears. He could not help but believe them.
“Ziyang!” Wei Luowu’s voice came from behind.
Wei Ziyang turned around with red eyes and looked at Wei Luowu who had come over without being noticed by him.
“Ziyang, your mother has gone mad!” As soon as he saw his son, Wei Luowu knew that he could not accept this fact. He quickly softened his voice and comforted him.
“Father, how are you going to deal with mother?” These words almost burst out from Wei Ziyang’s mouth as he asked in a hoarse voice.
“Just let your mother recuperate in Li Mansion. I… will personally tell your grandmother about it!” Wei Luowu answered after pondering for a while.
“Yes, father, I understand!” Wei Ziyang said, clenching his fists. He suddenly turned around and strode out.
He left the room and went straight out of the courtyard, not even looking at the two cousins in the courtyard.
“Sixth Younger Sister, what happened to Eldest Brother? Did he argue with Second Uncle?” Wei Qiuju did not understand what had happened to the seemingly amiable Wei Ziyang. He had stopped at the door of the house and did not enter. Then, he went directly into the main room. When the Second Uncle came out of the wing room and entered the main room, he walked out without looking back.
“It’s fine, Eldest Brother will think it through!” Wei Yuewu shook her head, feeling bitter in her heart. Compared with the other people in the mansion, Wei Ziyang at least did not deliberately harm her, and he also cared about her.
However, she had to do this…
Wei Luowu also walked into the courtyard and saw the silent Wei Yuewu. He walked over and said, “The two of you can go back first. Yuewu, your foot was injured. If you can’t hold on, you can go back now. If…” He paused, “If you can still hold on, then have lunch before leaving.”
He had asked the lad servant to invite the elder brother of the Li family over to discuss the situation. It was really inconvenient for Wei Yuewu and Wei Qiuju, two unmarried young ladies, to stay here.
He asked Wei Yuewu to stay in Li Mansion as long as she could hold on because he needed to create an illusion that the two mansions were on good terms in front of outsiders. This was to avoid gossips in the future when Lady Li didn’t return to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang on the wedding of her son.
“Yes, Second Uncle. I’m fine. Don’t worry!” Wei Yuewu understood the meaning of Wei Luowu’s words and answered gently. Then, she left the courtyard with Wei Qiuju.
By now, Li Mansion’s master, tutor of the Crown Prince, had learned that something happened to his younger sister. He hurriedly asked the guests for leave and rushed over.
Wei Yuewu’s injury was not serious, but her foot still could not touch the ground. Although she was supported from both sides, she was very tired from walking for a while. She had only walked a short distance before she was so tired that she was covered in sweat. She had no choice but to sit down and rest in the corridor on the side.
They did not walk the same path as before when they came to the courtyard. Instead, they followed the directions of a maid and took a shortcut to the inner courtyard. They barely met anyone along the way.
Of course, Wei Qiuju was accompanying her at this time. Along the way, she was really anxious to ask Wei Yuewu what she should do. However, thinking about the strange incident that had happened to Lady Li and seeing Wei Yuewu’s tightly-knit brows, she knew it was not the right time to talk about her issue. Seeing Wei Yuewu sit down, she really could not help but ask.
“Sixth Younger Sister, do you have any way to save me? I… I don’t want to be suppressed by Eldest Sister and get killed by her!”
