Chapter 500 Father Wants Son to Die
Wang Wenzhou rushed to the Jinlin County Duke's Mansion.
The guards in the mansion tried to stop him, but Wang Wenzhou forced his way in.
"Father-in-law, where is father-in-law? Xiao Xu has come to visit you today!" Wang Wen said as he walked around.
Duke Li Kaiyin of Jinlin frowned. Wang Wenzhou, that mad dog, had finally arrived. Hopefully, he could save Mei'er.
Li Kaiyin glanced at Li Zong, looking quite helpless. Li Zong had just come over and told him about the deaths of Li Dingfang and his son. Then, under the pretext of protecting the royal family's reputation, he ordered Li Kaiyin to kill Li Mei immediately.
Li Kaiyin, Li Zong, and Li Dingfang are half-brothers, with Li Zong and Li Dingfang born to the same mother.
Back then, Li Kaiyin and Li Dingfang were vying for the position of head of the imperial clan. Li Zong supported Li Dingfang, but Li Kaiyin ultimately won because she was more popular.
Li Kaiyin had already heard the news that Li Mei had followed Wang Wenzhou back to Korea. Although he missed his daughter dearly, he had never dared to see her. His daughter was originally married to Dorgon, but now she was having an ambiguous relationship with that mad dog Wang Wenzhou. Let alone royalty, even ordinary families with a shred of decency would not allow a woman to serve two husbands.
Li Zong was deeply saddened by the deaths of Li Dingfang and his son, but he couldn't do anything to Wang Wenzhou. Suddenly, Li Zong remembered that Li Mei was Wang Wenzhou's baby. He then conceived the idea of killing her.
Wang Wenzhou walked into the inner courtyard and frowned. Li Meibao was standing pitifully on a stool with a white silk ribbon hanging around her neck, which was tied to the eaves above.
Wang Wenzhou felt very sorry for him; this was the kind of situation that would drive the young master to suicide.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Where's your father-in-law? Sister-in-law, which old bastard is your heartless father? He even wants to kill his own daughter?" Wang Wenzhou hurriedly walked towards Li Mei.
“Husband…” Li Mei’s eyes immediately welled up with tears when she saw Wang Wenzhang.
"Shameless!" Li Kaiyin pointed at Li Mei and shouted, "I gave birth to you and raised you, how could I raise such a shameless slut like you? How could you have the audacity to call him husband? I'm furious!"
Although the old man wanted to kill Wang Wenzhou's baby, he was, after all, Li Mei's father, so Wang Wenzhou had to give him some face. Wang Wenzhou cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Little Xu Wang Wenzhou greets Father-in-law!"
“Lord Wang, this is no joke! I only have one daughter, who is already married,” Li Kaiyin said coldly.
Li Zong cupped his hands in greeting to Wang Wenzhou and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, why aren't you at the post station playing with your dog? What are you doing here?"
What? What's Li Zong doing here? Wang Wenzhou looked at Li Zong with some surprise and said with a smile, "Brother Li, you're here too? Perfect timing. Please help me persuade my father-in-law. He might be angry. It's all my fault. I was impolite and shouldn't have waited so many days in Seoul before remembering to come and pay my respects to my father-in-law."
Li Dingfang and his son were beaten to death, and the mastermind behind it all was Wang Wenzhou. Li Zong and Li Dingfang were brothers, and Li Zong, suppressing his anger, smiled and said, "Lord Wang, you jest. How could my third brother be your father-in-law?"
"You're not giving me face, are you?" Wang Wenzhou was startled when he ran into a wall with Li Zong. Li Zong was disrespectful, and Li Dingfang was determined to kill his daughter—was it because he, Wang Wenzhou, had killed Li Lin and his son?
Thinking of this, Wang Wenzhou's expression changed, and he quickly ran to Li Mei, hugged her tightly, and tried to lift her off the stool.
"Lord Wang, please have some self-respect!" Li Kaiyin hurriedly ordered the guards, "Pull Lord Wang away."
The guards stepped forward, trying to separate the two.
Wang Wenzhou thought to himself, "Anyway, I'm shameless. I'll do whatever I want, but my baby can't die."
Wang Wenzhou held Li Mei tightly, turned to look at Li Kaixin, and said with deep emotion, "Father-in-law, I know you don't want to acknowledge me. Actually, this wasn't Li Mei's fault at all. I was the one who forcibly took her away like a robber."
Li Mei's eyes were filled with tears. In the past, she would blush with embarrassment when her enemy hugged her in public, but this time she was not shy. Instead, she felt that her enemy's embrace was very warm.
Wang Wenzhou continued, "Father-in-law, even if you don't acknowledge Xiao Xu, there's no need to force Li Mei to commit suicide! What do you think? Let Li Mei become a nun. This way, your family's honor won't be damaged, and her life can be saved. Do you really want to lose your daughter?"
Li Kaiyin shook his head with a bitter smile. "Mad dog! Whether Mei'er lives or dies today depends on you. Although I don't acknowledge you as my father, Mei'er is my only daughter. How can I bear to watch her die? I have no choice. I am the head of the royal family. How can I stand idly by while my own daughter is unfaithful?"
"Lord Wang, please have some self-respect and quickly pull him away!" Li Kaiyin urged the guards.
The guards were wary of Wang Wenzhou's identity and didn't take any real action at first. But Li Kaiyin urged them on, and the guards had no choice but to use their true abilities.
Wang Wenzhou felt his arm, which was holding Li Mei's, being gradually pried open by the guards.
Wang Wenzhou shouted hoarsely, "Father-in-law! Brother Li! How dare you two show such disrespect to me?"
"Bah!" Li Zong cursed inwardly. "Wang Wenzhou, you mad dog! Don't you dare call me brother! You call me 'Brother Li,' and my third brother 'Father-in-law'? Is Li Kaiyin my third brother or my uncle? A mad dog is a mad dog! He has no manners whatsoever!"
"Lord Wang, please don't be like this!" Li Zong sneered, "This isn't the Ming Dynasty. You can't just sleep with someone else's concubines whenever you want!"
Wang Wenzhou finally understood that Li Zong and Li Kaiyin were determined to kill Li Mei in front of him.
Wang Wenzhou hurriedly said, "Father-in-law! I'm begging you, you can't be so heartless!"
"Lord Wang, this is my family matter. Please leave!" Li Kaiyin said coldly.
"Let go of me! Let go!" Wang Wenzhou was forcibly pulled away by the guards. He still wanted to save Li Mei, but the guards held him down and wouldn't let him move.
Li Zong glanced at Li Kaiyin and said coldly, "Third brother, it's getting late. It's time to let this woman who has tarnished the reputation of our royal family wash away her stains with her death."
"Yes!" Li Kaiyin nodded, heartbroken. He said coldly, "Li Mei! What are you waiting for?"
"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou shouted immediately, "Sister-in-law! Don't be foolish! You're my baby, I won't let you die! You can't die!"
Li Zong rolled his eyes at Wang Wenzhou. "Wang Wenzhou, you're a real mad dog! Calling your own woman 'sister-in-law'? This mad dog's world is truly hard for me to understand."
"Husband, I'm sorry!" Li Mei said, looking at Wang Wenzhou with deep affection.
"No!" Wang Wenzhou cursed, "Li Mei, what the hell! Are you out of your mind? To hell with your filial piety, this is blind loyalty! What about the saying 'If the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject must die; if the father commands the son to die, the son must die'? That's all bullshit! Your life is your own, your path is your own, why should others make decisions for you?"
Li Zong sneered, "Lord Wang, are you drunk again today? This is a family matter of our royal family, so please don't meddle. If you like, you can learn some etiquette here. If you don't like it, you can leave now."
"Li Mei, stop tarnishing our royal family's reputation. How will you face our ancestors after you die?" Li Zong glared at Li Mei and said coldly.
