Chapter 85: Vice only rises one foot
It was Li Min Feng who desperately came over. With one glance, he saw SiYiniang on the side and Da furen was on the ground catching her breath: “Mother,what happened!”
Si Yiniang spoke: “Da Shaoye, we all don’t know what is wrong withFuren? She became this sick!” As she spoke, she went over to help Da furen up.
Waiting until Da furen couldn’t even speak a wordbut only showed a pale green face, Li Min Feng was enraged and didn’t considermuch when he kicked Si Yiniang: “Don’t touch my mother, leave!”
After being kicked, Si Yiniang’s whole person waslaying on the ground, her face was pale white as cold sweats flowed down herforehead. Li Chang Xiao went over to a.s.sist her and seeing her severe injury,she turned to speak to Li Xiao Ran without much thought: “Father, my mother isa concubine, but he is your concubine, Da ge is a junior, how could he injuremy mother in front of you?!”
This one kick didn’t strike Si Yiniang but Li Xiao Ran’s face. Li Wei Yangsaw from the corner of Si Yiniang’s lips appeared an odd smile, it was obviousthat she deliberately schemed to instigate Li Min Feng and wanted to stir upmore trouble.
Of course, Li Xiao Ran was already enraged to thepoint his veins were jumping: “Evil child, what are you doing!”
Li Chang Le immediately walked up to embrace Li MinFeng: “Da ge, Da ge! They joined together to plot against me! Li Wei Yangframed me and claimed I wanted to kill Father, please save me!”
Listening to her story, Li Min Feng unconsciously opened his eyes wide: “Father,how could you listen to words coming from this b.i.t.c.h!”
Li Wei Yang calmly said: “Da ge, you can’tdifferentiate right from wrong, you’ve kicked Si Yiniang after arriving, nowyou don’t ask for the whole story and called me a b.i.t.c.h, who taught you thesewords. I am your sister, if I were a b.i.t.c.h, then what are you, what do you seeour Father as?!”
Li Xiao Ran’s brows tightened.
Li Min Feng’s glance was full of enmity, he said to Li Xiao Ran: “Father,Chang Le must have been framed, she would never do such a thing to harm Father.Father should give her justice and in turn punish Li Wei Yang for disrespectingMother！” His hand pointedstraight at Li Wei Yang.
Da furen’s phlegm was stuck in her throat, making it difficult for herto breath so it was impossible for her to prevent Li Min Feng from speaking.She didn’t even send people to summon her son over and moreover, she didn’twant her son to be implicated into this matter. But Min Feng appeared and thismeant someone purposely alerted him so that this matter would become evenbigger! She knew no matter what, she couldn’t let Li Min Feng speak further orelse something worse would happen! So she used all her strength to shake herhead at Li Min Feng, greatly shook her head to signal that she didn’t want himto speak any further.
However, Li Min Feng didn’t understand Da furen’sintentions and only knew that his Mother was enraged by Li Wei Yang and LiChang Le was framed by Li Wei Yang so he must let this b.i.t.c.h pay! “Father, weare your official children yet you rather believe the words of a b.i.t.c.h comingfrom a concubine than to believe us? I am telling you, whatever happened today,it was all planned by Li Wei Yang, everything is real! You are not punishingher and instead blaming Mother and Sister, are you dotard?!”
Li Xiao Ran greatly raged: “What did you say?!”
Li Wei Yang calmly smiled and said: “Father, calm down, Da ge was justanxious, that was why he would scold Father. After all, this whole situationinvolves Da jie and Mother, the words coming from his mouth are understandable--- well, but Da ge, you are going too far, how could you scold Father? This isimpiety! Surely you don’t want Father to lock you up in the ancestral hallagain?” Every word was indubitably spoken to infuriate Li Min Feng.
Once he heard the words, ancestralhall, Li Min Feng couldn’t restrain his anger. He took out a dagger andwithout thinking: “Father, since you are not punishing her, then I must killthis b.i.t.c.h before we continue this conversation!” Only killing Li Wei Yang, nomatter how angry Father will be, he wouldn’t punish him because he was his onlyson after all! He raised his dagger and rushed over towards Li Wei Yang’sdirection. He used all his strength with hopes of killing Li Wei Yang todissolve his enmity.
Li Wei Yang, seeing his expression, already knew he wanted to kill herand couldn’t help but coldly smiled. At this moment, Zhao Yue appeared right infront of Li Wei Yang like a ghost; she raised her leg and kicked Li Min Fengonto the ground.
Li Min Feng couldn’t believe that Li Wei Yang had a maidservant that hadsuch great martial art skills. But he still wasn’t willing to give up and onceagain got up and aimed towards Li Wei Yang. This time, Li Wei Yang actuallylightly nodded at Zhao Yue and Zhao Yue understood her meaning under theglimmering light!
When Li Min Feng once again jumped towards her, LiWei Yang hid behind Li Xiao Ran’s back: “Father, daughter is afraid!”
Li Min Feng couldn’t have guessed that Li Wei Yangwould have hid behind Li Xiao Ran’s back. When he was about to brake, he didn’tnotice someone’s leg and rushed forth at once. Li Xiao Ran’s face discolored;he didn’t have enough time to avoid it and soon after, the dagger plunged intoLi Xiao Ran’s left arm! Li Wei Yang hollered: “Protect Father! Quick, sendpeople!”
Only maidservants were inside, all the guards were sent to stand guardon the outside. No one could have thought that this type of situation wouldhave happened all of a sudden; Li Min Feng actually stabbed Li Xiao Ran withhis dagger.
Da furen’s rage anxiously plunged within her heart, she suddenly couldn’tsay a word but spat out fresh blood from her mouth. She fainted but at thistime no one in the household noticed her because Li Xiao Ran had already beeninjured. Moreover, blood was oozing out from his wound and the dagger was stillin his arm.
Li Xiao Ran was already overly furious, Li Min Fengactually stabbed him! He pointed at Li Min Feng as guards piled in: “Tie himup!”
Li Min Feng was already completely stunned; heoriginally wanted to stab Li Wei Yang with the dagger, how did he lose controland injured Li Xiao Ran?! After hearing Li Xiao Ran’s order, he unconsciouslysaid: “Father, your son didn’t do this on purpose! I wanted to kill that littleb.i.t.c.h!”
Li Xiao Ran was of course angry but at this momentof anger, he suddenly thought of himself having only one son so he didn’t knowwhat to do out of the mist and thus only ordered guards to tie up Li Min Fengand didn’t say the next order. Li Min Feng didn’t notice his hesitation and wasmainly worried about being tied up so he used all his might to fight back: “Whodares to touch me? I am Li family’s eldest son!”
Guards blankly stared at one another, they didn’t dare to offend Li MinFeng because he was the first household’s eldest son and he will inherit thefamily’s a.s.sets in the future. At the same time, they couldn’t disobey Li XiaoRan because their real master was Lao Ye. As for Da Shaoye, this would be inthe future. But Li Men Feng kept on fighting back, they don’t dare to force himso they were motionless all of a sudden.
Li Wei Yang coldly watched and didn’t speak a word.She calculated the time, the person will soon be here. As she thought about it,people outside announced: “Lao furen is here!”
Lao furen was held up by Luo Mama and behind herwere a number of maidservants. She quickly walked in and seeing the situationin the room, she shockingly said: “What happened to your arm?”
As she spoke, she stepped forward with Luo Mama’sa.s.sistance and checkout Li Xiao Ran’s injury, she said afterward: “Quick, callthe physician, are you all foolish!”
The maidservant that was absentminded finally woke up from her daze andflew off to seek the physician.
Li Xiao Ran busily consoled Lao furen: “It’snothing, just a small injury, Mother don’t have to worry.”
Lao furen’s face was filled with rage: “What smallinjury, this much blood had already flown out! How could this be just a smallinjury! Who was it that injured you?!”
Li Xiao Ran became silent, he didn’t want to say that his very own sonused a dagger to stab him.
Lao furen looked towards Li Wei Yang, Li Wei Yangsaid: “Here’s what happened, Lao furen, Father originally came today to Mother’splace to eat dinner together. Right at this moment, Dajie returned and shepersonally made pigeon soup for Mother. Who would have known that the soup waspoisoned, Father became angry and Mother couldn’t withstand the situation andshe fainted. Perhaps, Da ge became anxious after seeing this scene andfurthermore believed that it was us who framed Da jie. In a fit of rage, he kickedSi Yiniang and even wanted to kill me with his dagger but injured Fatherinstead ---“
She was simply stating what happened but sheactually clearly ill.u.s.trated Li Min Feng’s crime and also told Lao furen aboutLi Chang Le’s poisoning incident. Li Chang Le sharply voiced: “Lao furen, Ididn’t! I really didn’t!”
Li Wei Yang looked at her and said: “Da jie, wasthis soup made by you?”
Li Chang Le didn’t say anything and only crazily glared at her.
Li Wei Yang continued: “Unless there is no poisonin the soup!”
Li Chang Le couldn’t answer, her eyes almost showed blood.
Li Wei Yang sighed: “The witness and materialevidence are present, Da jie is still claiming you are innocent. Even if youare innocent, Da ge shouldn’t have injured Father to avenge injustice towardsyou, this is unprincipled.”
Li Min Feng couldn’t control himself any longer andrushed forward and loudly spoke: “Lao furen, don’t fall into the trap! Who isthe one that poisoned the soup, that can’t be figure out! Even if there ispoison in the soup, then it must be Li Wei Yang who framed it on my sister! Ididn’t want to injure Father just now, everything was an accident, Lao furen ……”
Lao furen was completely astonished, she couldn’t believe that Da furen’spair of children would do such things.
At this moment, Li Wei Yang said: “Da ge, don’tmake any more excuses, I heard you went to visit Da jie at the nunnery ……perhaps you thought if something happened to Father, you both would control theentire Li family? How could you be this foolish, if something happened toFather, the Li family will collapse!”
Li Xiao Ran was stunned. Hearing Li Wei Yang’swords, he suddenly envisioned a possibility. If Li Min Feng really went to thenunnery, what did he and Li Chang Le speak about. Was he angry that he threwhim into the ancestral hall to reflect on his actions so he ordered Li Chang Leto poison ……
This hypothesis only flashed across his mind but it couldn’t help butfeel the chills on his back.
Thinking about Li Min Feng’s stares towards him ever since that incidentwere filled with indignation, Li Xiao Ran unwillingly felt dreadfulness.
His blood-related son and daughter, because of such minor punishment, betrayedhim. Heavens know that he only wanted them to repent yet they joined forces totake his life.
Li Min Feng angrily shouted: “You little b.i.t.c.h, youare full of rubbish, when did I ---“
Li Xiao Ran pointed at Li Min Feng and bellowed: “Closeyour mouth! You and Chang Le colluded together, from the start, both of youwanted to harm me. Now that the conspiracy has unmasked, you are not ashamedand instead speak presumptuously! What Father, how could I have such a viciousson!”
Seeing this, Li Chang Le couldn’t hold back andcried: “Father, we are your children, how can you believe outsiders’ defamation……”
“Enough! Don’t act any longer!” Lao furen’s facewas pale and she loudly voiced: “I’ve seen enough of your show! Patricide isalready an unforgivable crime, give him slaps!”
Lao furen ordered but none of the guards moved. Luo Mama made a coldhumph and went forward to slap Li Min Feng. Li Min Feng didn’t have a chance toreact before his face was already swollen and red. Purple handprints appearedon his face and watching him, it was indubitably a pitiful scene.
He said with a sharp voice: “Father, I am your onlyson!”
He was right, Li Xiao Ran had four daughters but hehad only one son. So even if Li Xiao Ran was extremely enraged, he had to holdit in and couldn’t help but speak for him: “Lao furen ---“
“Do you still have your mother in your heart?” Laofuren was very infuriated by Li Min Feng and became even more angry seeing herown son, “Look at what an impious thing you’ve fathered, he dared to strikeyour concubine and even dared to kill his sister. He didn’t even consider yourreputation and injured you. If he really respected you as his father, how couldhe do such things? If they thought about the Li family at least once, theywouldn’t have make both of us lose face like this!”
Seeing Lao furen raging, Li Xiao Ran immediately went to apologize: “Yes,please calm down, it is your son’s fault.” Lao furen was right, no matter howmuch he loved his son, he was already a useless person now! Who would believehis son now that he injured his own father? Such an impious thing, what use isthere to keep him!
Li Min Feng loudly exclaimed: “Father, your son isnot wrong!”
Li Wei Yang reminded: “Da ge, a wrong is a wrong,Father’s arm is still bleeding. How can you say you are not wrong, if you’renot wrong, perhaps it’s Lao furen’s fault, it’s Father’s fault? I urge you tostop refusing to admit you are wrong!”
Li Min Feng was even more infuriated: “Li Wei Yang,you b.i.t.c.h! Father, Lao furen, don’t be deceived by this treacherous yatou. Eversince she entered the Li residence, we haven’t had a good day, look at whathappened to Mother! Look!”
Li Wei Yang coldly smiled, her face full of color: “Dage, Mother fainted because of Da jie, it has nothing to do with me.”
At this moment, Li Chang Le cried: “Mother, you’reawake!”
Da furen’s eyes slowly opened and realized that LiXiao Ran and Lao furen coldly looked at her like chilled fog. She then saw theinjury on Li Xiao Ran’s arm and after a shock, she knew where did the injurycome from! Her mouth gaped open yet she couldn’t speak a single word, Li ChangLe busily said: “Mother, what happened?”
Da furen shook her head, Du Mama, who had been kneeling on the side,helped her: “Furen is sick, your servant has medicine on me.” She immediatelytook out the medicine and climbed by Da furen’s side to help her take themedicine. Letting out a breath, her gaze moved from Li Min Feng and hatefullytowards Li Wei Yang.
Li Wei Yang calmly looked at her as her eyescarried a smile that was about to make her heart explode: “Mother, you areawake, are you okay?”
