The Antagonists
CHAPTER 49
"Why did you come here Lian'er?." asked Zi Lan to his wife.
Yep...Wei Lian managed to meet Zi Lan who was in her room. The man looked very angry at him.
"My husband..I have no intention of hurting Zi Yu, you must know that right?." said Wei Lian.
BRAKK!!
The beating of the Table before Zi Lan was extremely hard and made Wei Lian surprised.
"My husband accidentally let go of Zi Yu, it's all because I dodged your sword." continued Wei Lian in the hope that her husband remembered what happened.
He stared intently at Wei Lian, unexpectedly his wife would say that.
"So you mean I was the one who tried to kill Zi Yu, Lian'er?" asked Zi Lan.
"My husband, I didn't mean it that way. I was just trying to explain it." Wei Lian said with a sigh.
Zi Lan sighed very hard and long.
Yuan Zi Lan Pov's
I looked at Wei Lian very sharply, I knew that I was the one who caused Zi Yu to fall.
However I did it because Wei Lian was strangling Zi Yu.
What happens if I don't do that ? Maybe Wei lian had already strangled Zi Yu to death.
How could I lose my dear son.
Moreover, Wei Lian did it while she was still in her sentence.
My dear wife is starting to lie. All this time he tricked me, he practiced cultivation secretly.
Though I had forbidden it, I was afraid that all my efforts would be in vain.
■■■■■■■■■■■
"Then explain to me what your lie means Lian'er." Zi Lan said with a serious look.
"I didn't lie to my husband." defended Wei Lian.
"WEI LIAN!!!!" cried Zi Lan.
Wei Lian immediately held onto her chest, she was completely shocked at her husband's screams. His chest became ill.
"You're constantly lying to me, don't you think of me as a husband?" asked Zi Lan.
Surely Wei Lian immediately shook her head, how could she not think of Zi Lan as a husband.
"Where could I be so my husband." replied Wei Lian.
"You practiced cultivation secretly Lian'er!" cried Zi Lan.
"Why are you quiet?." continued Zi Lan.
Wei Lian finally tried to explain everything.
"My husband I did it because I wanted to protect myself, Liuli, or someone else who was weaker than me" Wei Lian explained.
"But I forbid Lian'er, didn't you know that your health was so bad ? Lifting that sword will only make your situation worse!" Zi Lan said.
"Are you doing it because of the position of the sect leader?" asked Zi Lan.
Wei Lian POVs
I continued to be shocked by Zi Lan's cries.
Why does he think so bad ?.
I don't want the position of sect leader at all, I just don't want Zi Yu to inherit this Wei sect.
This sect was built by my ancestors, and raised by my father. How could I give this sect to another child ? Moreover, it was the son of the woman who had snatched my husband away.
I also don't know where the book Zi Lan was looking for.
But he doesn't trust me at all.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
"You're practicing because ever since I wanted the position of sect head Lian'er. If you don't want to hand him over, just say it. That way I can get ready to accept the insults for the sake of insults thrown by the other sect leaders." Zi Lan said at length.
"I didn't do it because of that position, I just wanted to protect my husband" Wei Lian replied.
Brakk!!
Once again Zi Lan kicked down the table in front of him, he had already lost his patience with his first wife.
"Then why didn't you immediately give me the position of chairman Lian'er ? And where are the books?." asked Zi Lan.
"I just don't want you to hand over the position of chairman to Zi Yu later. I also don't know where the book is my husband, I swear." replied Wei Lian.
Surely Zi Lan could not believe what Wei Lian had said.
Ever since he knew Wei Lian was practicing cultivation secretly, he had already lost his faith in Wei Lian.
"You keep lying to Lian'er, well I don't want a sect position at all. I will accept all of those insults with grace! And you're Lian'er.you really let me down." Zi Lan said.
Wei Lian looked very confused, she was very afraid that Zi Lan would leave her.
If that happened how would he be responsible to the original Wei Lian ?.
He had just hastened the destruction of the original Wei Lian relationship as well as Yuan Zi Lan.
"My husband don't say that, I will obey your words, I won't practice cultivation anymore" Wei Lian said.
"I can't believe what you said was Lian'er" Zi Lan said.
Wei Lian looked extremely desperate.
"Free my husband Liuli, that way I'll prove it all." beg Wei Lian.
Zi Lan laughed hearing that, she really underestimated Wei Lian.
Since when did his wife have this kind of courage ?.
"Liuli's been lying to me all this time Lian'er, she can't take good care of you either. He deserves that punishment." Zi Lan said.
"Not my husband, I was the one who asked Liuli to hide it, she is innocent, so please don't punish her" Wei Lian said with a hearty look.
"I can't free Liuli, such an unfaithful servant must be severely punished by Lian'er. Meixi will sentence Liuli to death soon" Zi Lan said.
Wei Lian was extremely shocked and struck to hear it.
Liuli will be put to death ?.
His servant did not commit a great crime, how could he have received such a cruel punishment.
"My husband...Liuli is not a criminal. He was very loyal to me, so don't punish him" Wei Lian said.
"I'm sorry Lian'er." Zi Lan said.
Wei Lian was crying, how could her husband not help her ?.
And why did Meixi decide everything ?.
Meixi holds a deep grudge against both herself and Liuli.
With the incident earlier, where he almost killed Zi Yu.
It was certain that the woman would severely punish herself as well as Liuli.
He couldn't let this happen, Liuli had been a valuable person to him all along.
He could not let the servant who had been protective and very loyal to him just die.
"I have to help Liuli." Inner Wei Lian.
Looking at her husband, she smiled at Zi Lan.
"My husband, I am your first wife, I am also the owner of this Wei palace. You shouldn't be this cruel to me. Liuli was precious to me, but now you're taking her away from me." said Wei Lian.
Zi Lan simply looked at Wei Lian's departure from her room.
His wife walked with a stagger, even he had fallen because he could not bear the pain he felt.
