Notes:
Da fu:
a way to address a physician
(San) shen:
a way to address the wife of your paternal uncle, in this case third uncle
It seemed like both sides refused
to give in.
Li Xiao Ran frowned since he was
in a dilemma ---
Lao furen stared at Li Wei Yang pondering
and uncontrollably let out a sigh.
In the end, Li Xiao Ran slowly
spoke: “Zhangle, you should help your mother up first.”
Li Wei Yang’s heart momentarily
turned into distant loneliness. At that moment, she already understood Li Xiao
Ran’s decision.
Li Xiao Ran’s eyes carried
sympathy: “Wei Yang, in today’s matter, you were too reckless, you shouldn’t
have beaten up your biaoge indiscriminately. He is Wei Guo furen’s only son.
Father has to eventually give an explanation to Marquis of Bo Chang ---“
In his words, he mentioned
nothing of the paper nor Li Zhangle but only mentioned that Li Wei Yang has
beaten up the wrong person. He clearly wanted to put all of the blame on her
and turn a blind eye to the true mastermind. Li Wei Yang couldn’t believe that
her father knew what Li Zhangle did but he simply wanted to cover up for her.
She lifted her head and slowly
said: “Father, how do you want to punish Wei Yang?”
Upon hearing this, Li Zhangle’s
face revealed unrestrained joy. Father in the end still took her side!
Li Xiao Ran watched Li Wei Yang
with sympathy and was about to speak when a young person rushed in front of him
and loudly dropped on his knees. He surprisingly kneeled right next to Wei
Yang, right by her side.
Li Zhangle was rash and quickly
went forth to grab him and said: “San di, what are you doing. Get up now.”
Li Min De pushed away her hand
and loudly voiced: “If Uncle wants to punish someone, then please punish Min
De. I was the one who told San jiejie that a rare cuckoo appeared so she went
into the garden. Afterwards, Biaoge frightened the cuckoo away, I angrily said
something and then Biaoge became furious and forcefully pushed me.” He kowtowed
and revealed the bloody injury on his forehead, which was originally covered by
his hair. Blood smoothly flowed down to his finger as it made his beautiful
face unrecognizable, leaving everyone in speechless sympathy.
Lao furen surprisingly shouted:
“Min De, your forehead is injured?!”
Li Min De’s pair of clear black
eyes, bright as pearl, stared at Li Xiao Ran: “Uncle, San jiejie saw that I was
injured so she has mistaken Biaoge for a thief. If Uncle wants to look
into this matter, then don’t put the blame on others and punish only me!” After
he finished his words, he loudly banged his head on the ground.
Li Wei Yang’s expressions
revealed shock, she was obstinate because she wanted her father to understand
that this whole scene was solely caused by her beloved daughter Li Zhangle. But
by now, she finally understood how biased her father was! She couldn’t believe
that at this critical moment, only this child was willing to step out to help
her.
At that time, everyone was far
away, no one can verify whether Li Min De was present at the scene. Having this
usually obedient Sanfang Xiaoye as a witness, painted as the bully now, who
would believe Gao Jin’s words? It’s just that --- the injury on Min De’s
forehead……
Da furen’s complexion turned
green and she spoke: “Wei Yang, if the situation was as described, then why
didn’t you tell us earlier?”
Li Wei Yang clenched her fists
but eventually looked down and gently spoke: “San di was injured and he was
truly frightened, I ordered people to escort him back first. I just learned
about Biaoge’s identity but I was afraid San di would be dragged in and then
that would cause discord between the two families. Let alone father is
righteous, mother is benevolent, they wouldn’t punish me over such trivial
matter so I hid the truth.”
Hearing this, Da furen was almost
enraged to the point of spitting blood out and couldn’t hide the coldness in
her eyes.
Li Xiao Ran stood motionlessly
and unexpectedly didn’t know how to react. Lao furen stood up and personally
walked over and helped Wei Yang up: “Foolish child, you’ve caused yourself
trouble just to protect your di di, in this matter, not only should we not
blame you, we should reward you.”
With Lao furen’s words,
everything was finalized.
Li Wei Yang looked up and
sincerely said: “Thank you Lao furen for standing up for Wei Yang.”
Li Xiao Ran felt a bit awkward
and was a little uncomfortable in looking into Li Wei Yang’s eyes. He walked
forward to help Li Min De up: “Here, get up.”
Who could have known that Li Min
De didn’t even get the chance to steady himself when his vision suddenly
blurred and fell backward.
In the garden, sharp voices
blurred and echoed throughout.
Li Min De was escorted back to
San furen’s place and in the residence, the da fu was applying medicine on Li
Min De. San furen’s expressions were anxious and she desperately asked: “Da fu,
how is my son’s injury?”
The da fu turned to greet her:
“Replying to San furen, Gong zi is in a stable condition, he only need to rest
for a period of time to heal completely. But ……”
“But what?”
“But his forehead
will unfortunately, leave a scar.”
Li
Wei Yang was terrified, inside she felt acrimonious.
Min De was only a naïve child and
he had this beautiful appearance, his future was promising, but because of her,
he suffered from injuries.
Not until the da fu had left did
Li Wei Yang couldn’t hold back and walked forth to speak: “San shen, thank you.”
San furen turned around and shook
her head: “It wasn’t me.”
Her face showed an odd
expression. Li Wei Yang was absent-minded and immediately looked towards Li Min
De and realized he was smiling at her, revealing a mouthful of snow white
teeth: “This injury --- I made it myself.”
Li Wei Yang was alarmed.
The nanny on the side wiped away
the tears and softly spoke: “San Xiaoye heard that you were being given a hard
time, he immediately thought of this idea, nubi didn’t stop him in time, he
used a rock to hit his head, he was relentless ---“
Li Min De continued to smile
adorably and revealed a hint of slyness within: “If I hadn’t done so, they
would continue to blame San Jiejie without end!”
Only when Gao Jin becomes the
bully could she escape from being punished. Li Wei Yang had a way to escape but
she only wanted Li Xiao Ran to investigate the truth but she would have never
thought that this child would help her to this point!
Li Min De saw that Li Wei Yang’s
expression changed and was afraid that she would feel uneasy, he quickly said:
“San jie, don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt at all!”
Such a huge wound, how would it
not hurt. Li Wei Yang furtively held both of his hands and said: “But Da fu
said it might leave a scar ……” Li Min De brightly smiled and said: “I am a man;
a scar is nothing much!”
Li Wei Yang couldn’t express this
complicated feeling. Having been there for a while, she eventually held San
furen’s hand, said nothing and then turned around to leave.
San furen stared at her
silhouette, sighed and said: “You foolish child, your San jiejie is not dumb,
she has already thought of a plan to extricate herself, your involvement in
fact actually made everything more complicated.”
Li Min De’s pair of beautiful
eyes shone: “I know Sanjie would definitely have a plan, but she would have to
inflict injury on herself, so why don’t I do it, which is even more effective!”
After those words were spoken,
San furen was speechless.
Outside, Li Wei Yang walked down
the step, her expression heavy as she continued, Bai Zhi carefully said: “Xiao
jie ---“
Li Wei Yang shook her head,
looked into the horizon at the rainbow, a chilling hope flashed across her
eyes. After this, she finally understood that to bring down Li Zhangle would
not be easy at all, but to strike her father’s pearl in the palm, she has to
plan for the unexpected!
