Life-Robbing Consort - C16

Just as the servant left, his palm slammed heavily on the armrest of the wooden chair. He had thought over everything carefully, and understood the formidable relationship between the two.

The Emperor had already given up on pursuing the matter, but he, Wei Ze, was still trying to force him into a corner. Wasn’t this just defying the Emperor’s orders?

Thus, not only could he not kill or even injure her, the Emperor had said that he could not harm her!

Wei Ze’s tone could be said to be ‘can’t go up or down’. It was like he was suffocating him to death!

Moreover, the more he was angered, the more his eyes flashed with the shadow of the figure jumping up and down in front of him. There were so many whips, how come he didn’t hit them at all?!

Wei Ze, who was burning with fury, raised his arm and slapped the armrest of his chair a few more times. For a moment, he almost broke the armrest.

Wei Ze had been waiting for the attendant to return with a report, but he didn’t expect that the person waiting for him was actually Lady Yan. When he saw Lady Yan’s figure, he was startled. Could it be that Ya Ru’s injuries were serious?

Wei Ze quickly stood up from his chair and walked over to Yan Shi. With an anxious voice, he asked, “Madam, Ya Ru, she …”

Lady Yan didn’t say anything as she looked at Wei Ze. Her eyes gradually turned red, and after a moment, scalding tears started to roll down her cheeks like beads with a broken string.

Seeing Lady Yan act like this, she became even more anxious. “Madam, speak up. Did something happen to Yaru?”

An accident?

Ya Ru had already been beaten to such a state, yet he still dared to say such unlucky words. Lady Yan pushed Wei Ze with all her might, but even if Yan Shi used all her strength, pushing it onto Wei Ze’s body was like flirting with a lover.

On the other hand, Lady Yan’s pushing softened her heart even more. She stepped forward and grabbed Lady Yan’s hand, firmly placing Lady Yan’s palm in her own. Her voice sounded exceptionally anxious as she asked again.

“Madam, please speak. How is our Ya Ru?”

Only then did Lady Yan raise her head and look at Wei Ze with tears all over her face. With a sorrowful voice, she said, “It was all thanks to that little girl of yours. Ya Ru has suffered a great sin.”

Wei Ze still frowned worriedly, “Then is Yaru in danger of her life?”

At the mention of the danger to her life, Lady Yan tried her best to pull her hand away from his. She glared at him angrily and said, “What? You don’t have to worry about your life. The doctor said that without a month and a half, Yaru won’t be able to get out of bed.”

He stepped forward and held Lady Yan in his arms, his voice pleasing to the ears as he said, “Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. I mistakenly beat up Ya Ru at that time, so I’ll apologize to you right now, okay?”

Lady Yan looked up coquettishly, her alluring eyes becoming even more enchanting after the tears had soaked her. Wei Ze felt his body suddenly tighten, and his arm that was half-hugging Lady Yan involuntarily increased in strength.

Of course, Lady Yan could clearly sense the reaction of Wei Ze. After being husband and wife for so many years, she still hadn’t gotten to know him. It was probably time for things to get out of hand.

Indeed, Yuze could not help but hug Lady Yan even more tightly, causing Lady Yan to almost completely cling onto him. “Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu …”

Lady Yan obediently lay in front of him, her eyes downcast with the light of calculation. Her voice was soft and charming as she whispered, “Master Hou, I’m afraid that you can’t let Weilan live after committing such a grave mistake. Although I can’t bear to part with her, I can’t do anything about it.”

If it was in the past, Mrs Yan would agree to whatever Mrs Wei Ze said, but would never hesitate. At this moment, Mrs Yan was still confidently waiting for that ‘OK’ from Wei Ze’s words.

However, Wei Ze didn’t say anything. After a moment, he let go of Lady Yan, and his body that was tainted with desire calmed down.

Lady Yan was momentarily stunned on the spot. What was going on? How was he different from before?

“I know what you’re thinking. It’s always been a small matter, but this time I’m warning you, you can’t touch a single hair on your head.”

Upon hearing this, Lady Yan could no longer pretend to be coquettish and directly questioned in a cold tone, “Why!?”

“Because your majesty, no one is allowed to disobey the emperor’s words. He said that you can’t hurt Yulan, and no one is allowed to hurt her. If you do, then we, the Wei clan, will be punished for disobeying the heaven’s will!”

Lady Yan’s eyes widened slightly. After a moment, she suddenly laughed softly.

Wei Ze looked at Lady Yan gloomily. “What are you laughing about?”

Lady Yan stopped laughing and looked at Wei Ze with a comical gaze. “Master Hou, you’re really pedantic. The emperor was just casually saying that. You took it seriously, it’s really funny.”

“Impudent, don’t you dare spout nonsense. Even if the emperor were to speak without thinking, all of us subject to his orders. I’m warning you, don’t touch a single hair on your head. Get out of here!”

With regards to Weizi’s expulsion, Lady Yan stood still as if she had heard nothing, with no intention of leaving.

When he saw that he had returned to his desk, he sat down on the wooden chair, picked up the military information letter and started to read it.

Lady Yan stood on the spot indignantly, looking coldly at Wei Ze. A moment later, seeing that Wei Ze was still not looking at her, she flung her sleeves and left the study in a rage.

Only when Lady Yan’s figure was completely out of sight did Wei Ze shift his gaze away from the letter. He clenched the hand placed on his knees. This damned Lan Yiyi was currently making him unable to sleep with a woman!

“Someone, come!”

“What are your orders, Master Hou?” The servant waiting outside the door quickly ran in with a low growl.

“Send the order to the dungeon. From today onwards, the Wei family will cut off all relations with Fang Lanyi. From today onwards, she will no longer be the third miss of the Wei family. She will be sent out of Hou Mansion tomorrow morning.”

“Yes.” The attendant respectfully gave the order and retreated quickly before heading to the dungeon to pass on the order.

Lady Yan and Senior Servant Zhang, who should have left long ago, walked out from behind a tree after their attendant ran off into the distance.

Zhang mama looked at Lady Yan with a smile. “Madam, I’ve already said that Master Hou is still on your side. See, didn’t he just chase her out of Hou Mansion?”

Upon hearing this, Lady Yan quickly turned her head to glare fiercely at Zhang mama. “What do you know? How is this supposed to be directed at me? If he is, then he should be the one to kill me.”

The smile on Zhang mama’s face could not help but pause for a moment, but then she became more and more ingratiating as she said, “Madam, you must also understand Master Hou. Master Hou is right, we cannot disobey His Majesty’s orders.”

This time, Lady Yan did not speak. In fact, she knew very well that she had heard the emperor’s words clearly from Xuanyuan Hongxi.

After a moment, Lady Yan shook her sleeves and snorted coldly. “Forget it. This time, I will treat it as a kindness to you and let you off this time.”

With that, Lady Yan led Zhang mama back to her own courtyard.

When she heard this news, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

How can I, how can I!

That bitch had harmed her, but now she was still able to leave the mansion safe and sound! No, absolutely not!

Wei Yaru slammed the edge of the bed. Her hands were almost broken, yet it did not reduce the hatred in her heart.

“You Lanyi, I’m going to kill you. No matter where you go, I’m going to kill you!”
