289, Scolding and Beating (6th Update)
Li Hengyi was startled.
For a mont, he knew he had missed an opportunity.
Yet he thought perhaps it was for the best that he hadn’t seen anything, for if Xie Zhinuan had found out he had been secretly watching her body, she would likely have been infuriated.
Li Hengyi stood there, his head heavy and dizzy, one mont thinking this, the next that. Eventually, he simply sat down on a chair, gazing at the sleeping Xie Zhinuan on the bed and let out a soft laugh.
It seed that many things were truly different from what he had known.
Like Xie Zhinuan’s firmness today when she said she would sever ties with Lian Huai, she did so without sentintality.
Actually, he also saw that Xie Zhinuan was growing.
At least from the beginning, when she preferred to stay in Xiaohe Village rather than live and earn money in the town or city, it was obvious that she had no ambition. These days, after so events, she had gradually found her drive.
It was also rare for her to be as drunk as she was today.
She was really too calm. No matter the situation, when the Yuan Family sched against her, many would have been enraged to death, but she remained cool-headed.
Even when she was extrely sad or furious, she never showed it, maintaining her composure. But that didn’t an she wasn’t heartbroken or suffering; after all, she, who was so sentintal, had truly seen the elder couple of the Yuan Family as her own kin.
In the end, she was ruthlessly discarded. The old man from the Yuan Family ca to her house to curse at her for the sake of his grandsons, openly stating he regretted saving her life, to which she replied with a cold retort.
The Yuan Family could have had a better business had they not been too ostentatious and behaved properly.
They were too greedy.
Li Hengyi thought and thought, then fell asleep slumped over in the chair.
The old lady looked at Lian Sheng kneeling on the ground, “Tell , what exactly happened? Wasn’t the wine cellar supposed to be locked?”
Lian Sheng didn’t know what had happened before, but he recounted everything he did know.
The old lady trembled with anger, “This scoundrel, scoundrel! Go, call him back for !”
Ten years without returning, and upon his return, he led people into the wine cellar; he was simply the ruin of his family.
The ruin of his family.
Lian Sheng didn’t go.
The old lady ordered the steward to go.
Soon Lian Huai was brought back, and seeing the old lady, he knelt down.
The old lady picked up her walking stick and started beating him, strike after strike landing on him, “Why didn’t you die out there? What did you co back for? Haven’t you hard this family enough?”
The deceased master, sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters-over a dozen lives.
Her heart ached trendously. She went to the temple every month to offer incense and prayers, hoping they were well off in the afterlife. If not for His Highness King Han, not a single mber of the Lian Family would have survived.
The more the old lady thought about it, the angrier and more furious she beca.
After beating Lian Huai severely, she finally said with a trembling voice, “From today onward, you will kneel in front of the ancestral tablets of your father and your brothers and repent for all that you have done. And as for this family, you need not interfere any longer!”
“Mother…” Lian Huai softly called.
The old lady looked at him and suddenly burst into tears, “Why did I give birth to a scourge like you!”
Simply a curse.
“Get out, get out!” the old lady cried out in a low shout.
Even though he was her own flesh and blood, the old lady was also full of resentnt, wishing she could have beaten him to death.
Lian Huai went to see his wife.
However, Mada Lian turned her head away and refused to look at him, ignoring him completely as if he didn’t exist.
She originally had three sons and two daughters, now only one son remained. No matter how much affection there was, it all evaporated when she saw her children covered in blood, falling into her arms, transforming into hatred and resentnt.
“You shouldn’t have co back, why did you co back? What did you co back for?” Mada Lian asked several questions in a row, her eyes red and tears streaming down her cheeks.
