Cheng You's stubbornness made many people unhappy.
Li Yue, holding a knife, is the executioner of today's beheading banquet, and it is also his token of allegiance to Xiao Feng.
"General Cheng, you supported me in the past. Did you treat me as your own son or nephew?" Li Yue lowered his voice so low that only Cheng You could hear it clearly. Xiao Minghuan only heard a few scattered words.
Cheng You closed his eyes and said nothing, looking indifferent to life and death.
Li Yue took a deep breath. He knew that he shouldn't ask these questions at this time. No matter what Cheng You answered, he would definitely chop off his head today.
Li Yue's expression turned cold and hard, and he took Cheng You out of the cage.
Xiao Minghuan, who was standing by, lost control of his bladder when Cheng You's severed head rolled in front of him.
Even when death was imminent, Xiao Minghuan was still afraid.
He looked at Wan Jinlan in panic and couldn't help but ask for help, "Cousin, save me!"
Wan Jinlan raised his eyelids and smiled, saying, "Have a nice journey."
Xiao Feng held her hand under the table. Wan Jinlan turned her head to look at him. When she turned back, Xiao Minghuan's head had already fallen to the ground.
Li Yue placed the two men's heads in a box and presented it to them.
Xiao Feng said, "Put some ice in it and send it to Kyoto as fast as possible."
Li Yue responded and stepped back.
"Today is a good day. Let's drink this glass of wine together."
"Cheers to King Qi." Everyone raised their glasses and shouted.
Wan Jinlan's wine glass was crushed by her, so she had nothing to drink. She glanced at his handsome yet indifferent profile. The sunlight fell on his face, which was no longer as white as before. His every move was calm and composed, yet full of oppression.
Wan Jinlan's heart was pounding. This man was her husband.
If he takes a concubine in the future, she will definitely make him unable to have children.
A faint light flashed in Wan Jinlan's eyes, and Xiao Feng suddenly turned his head to look at her, with a faint smile in his eyes, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of the firearms workshop. As for Liang Zhongqi, you'll also have to take care of him."
Wan Jinlan nodded calmly.
After the beheading banquet, Wan Jinlan and his sister-in-law went to the former Marquis of Zhenxi's Mansion.
The Li family is the largest family in Liangzhou, and their mansion is also the most magnificent in Liangzhou.
"Greetings, Madam." Xia Feng's eyes were dark. He had not slept the whole night before. He was guarded in the courtyard until Xiao Feng entered the city.
"I'm glad you're okay. Go to the Lu Mansion and find your mother. She must be waiting anxiously."
Xia Feng clasped his fists again and left in a hurry.
Li Yanfeng has been returned to Madam Li. At this time in the courtyard, Li Yanfeng is going crazy and Madam Li is wiping her tears beside him.
"I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill that bastard!"
There was a glimmer of resentment in one of Li Yanfeng's eyes.
When he heard someone approaching, he turned to look at Wan Jinlan and the others, making them think they saw a ghost, the kind that died with its eyes open.
Li Yanfeng was filled with hatred and rushed towards the two of them with bloodshot eyes. At this moment, there was no beauty of the women in his eyes, only hatred for Xiao Feng and Li Yue.
The guards behind him held Li Yanfeng on the spot with spears in hand.
Mrs. Li was horrified and stood in front.
Wan Jinlan said, "Madam Li, please pack up your belongings quickly. Someone will be here to count them soon."
As he was speaking, Wei Xian, dressed in military armor, came, followed by the armored young man Wei Sinian.
The sound of a baby crying was heard, and Li Yanfeng's wife and Bai came forward, each holding a child.
When Mrs. Bai saw Wei Xian, she was so shocked that she almost couldn't hold the baby in her arms.
She was excited, knowing that there was a high possibility that she would not be expelled. "Sanlang, Si Nian."
Bai's words were full of affection.
Li Yanfeng turned around and looked at his former favorite concubine Bai fiercely, "You betrayed me! Bitch!"
Bai was caught off guard and was slapped, falling to the ground with the child in her arms.
Wei Xian closed his eyes, and Wei Sinian tugged at Wan Jinlan's sleeve.
"Madam, can you..." Wei Sinian said with difficulty, "Can you let her go?" No matter what, she is his mother.
Wan Jinlan looked at Wei Xian, "General, are you here for her?"
Wei Xian sighed and nodded, "She was implicated by me in the past, but no matter what, she is still Si Nian's mother."
Wan Jinlan looked at the crying baby in Bai's arms and asked, "What about this child?"
Wei Xian looked at Bai, who was looking expectant, and said, "He is a descendant of the Li family. Naturally, he will go wherever the Li family goes."
It's not that he is cruel, saving Bai has already been his most righteous act.
Bai's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up and handed the child to Li Yanfeng's wife. "Madam, he is already registered under your name. He will be your son from now on. Please treat him well. I won't argue with you anymore."
Fang Biqiu was really surprised. She was a mother, but she couldn't bear to see a mother treat her child like this. For her own sake, this woman really could disregard everything.
Wei Xian frowned even more tightly. He didn't want the child, but seeing Bai go to this extent, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a maggot.
Wei Sinian's eyes were wide open, and there was confusion in his eyes, just like when he first came to the Li Mansion with Bai.
He'd done nothing wrong, yet he was punished and scolded by Madam Li. His mother told him to endure it. He'd thought, "My mother didn't abandon me. She must care about me." But if she did, why did she let him suffer? He endured it again and again, sensibly thinking, "My mother must be doing this for his own good." Back in Xiliu Town, despite the hardships, he was happy. His mother and he didn't have to endure all that, but why did she choose to leave his father and become someone else's concubine, to be targeted and tortured by his wife?
"Mom, you don't care about me, why don't you care about him either?" Wei Sinian pointed at the baby, his eyes confused and with tears in them.
Bai's hand, which was holding the child to give to Madam Li Yanfeng, froze on the spot. Seeing the emotion in Wei Sinian's eyes, she suddenly broke down and burst into tears.
What had she done wrong? What was wrong with her wanting to live a peaceful and prosperous life?
Wan Jinlan patted Wei Sinian's shoulder and said seriously, "She just loves herself more. Blaming her is torturing yourself. You should be nicer to yourself."
Wei Sinian was stunned on the spot.
Wei Xian remained silent for a long time.
Li Yanfeng's mother slapped Bai's face hard. Bai's crying stopped, and then Madam Li opened and closed her mouth and cursed, "Bitch!"
Madam Li snatched the baby from Bai's arms, looked at the frantic Li Yanfeng, and cursed, "No matter how crazy you are, you might as well die. I can't count on you at this critical moment. What use are you to me?"
At this time, Mrs. Li had the style of a military family.
In the chaos, Lu Yan came with his men, and Li Yue also came with him.
The guards moved out all of the Li family's belongings and piled them in the yard, including gold, silver, jewelry, silks, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, leaving no corner untouched.
Wan Jinlan looked at the box after box of things and thought to himself that he had made a fortune.
