173 Revenge (1/2)
Yang Family.
In the First Wife's room, two highly skilled martial artists were guarding the door respectfully like statues. ”We have found Yang Qing's corpse. It was covered in a secluded cave in the mountains, and his limbs were torn apart. There are no clues as to how that happened...”
Lady Wang was seated and she stroked the white cat with her right hand, appearing graceful.
At this point, she squinted her eyes. ”I remember... Yang Fan does not know martial arts and did not cultivate spiritual techniques. How could he kill Yang Qing?”
The two martial artists broke into cold sweat. ”This….. We have no idea!”
”You have no clue about anything, and even took so long to investigate. What use do I have for you?”
Lady Wang frowned and was infuriated.
Half a month had passed, and more and more news came back. There was news of Yang Fan getting the top spot for the Imperial Examinations as well!
Of course, the news of Yang Fan being conferred as the Eagle Lieutenant was made an official secret by Taoist Fei Xiong, and therefore Lady Wang was still not aware.
Even so, she was already raging inside.
The people she sent to kill the little bastard were all killed instead, and the little bastard went on to get the top spot in the Examinations. Even though he was just a clerk and was still insignificant to the Yang Family, it was still a sore eye.
Most importantly, Lady Wang felt that she could no longer control the household!
That was the most infuriating of all!
”It's a good thing that that bastard had gotten the top spot, but he has yet to return? Could it be that he hates me?”
She lowered her volume and mumbled to herself.
”Lady….. The little bastard should have just died. You were the one who pitied him and let him survive. However, he was not at all grateful and even killed someone. If he returns, you can use the house laws to take his life!”
One of the investigators softly replied.
He was one of Lady Wang's servants and married into the Yang Family. However, he still treated the First Wife as his Lady and addressed Yang Fan as the 'little bastard' with no regard for anything.
”You're right...”
Lady Wang massaged her forehead and closed her eyes. ”Even if Yang Qing was in the wrong, Yang Fan could still change his family or request for Father or my help to uphold justice for him. What could he gain from killing him?”
Although there was no evidence, she had already named Fang Yuan as the killer.
”Da Wang, Er Wang, both of you hurry to the county city to bring Yang Fan back. Even if he had already become a clerk, it doesn't matter, just bring him back! Our Yang Family is still influential enough to do that on the court!”
Lady Wang squinted her eyes once more. ”He thinks that he can disregard the Yang Family after getting the top spot, gosh!”
”Yes Lady!”
Da Wang and Er Wang bowed. They both knew that First Wife had already decided to kill him after bringing him back here!
”Wang Yiai, come out!”
At the point of time, an explosion was heard as though there was thunder rumbling beneath the ground, making everyone dazed.
All the servants were confused at what was going on, but Da Wang and Er Wang looked at each other. Both of them knew that this was the Lady's full name. Whoever dared to shout her full name was tired of living!
At this moment, they felt as though they were in a dream.
”Ping!”
”You bastard child!”
Lady Wang became cold. With the flick of her right wrist, an expensive porcelain vase shattered on the ground.
She could tell who the person was, which made her tremble, and her voice was much more sinister than before.
”Da Wang and Er Wang! Go out and bring me that bastard! Disrespectful bastard! Does he have any regard for me, the Yang Family and its ancestors?”
Lady Wang's voice was sharp and high pitched.
”This is... crazy!”
Da Wang and Er Wang were at loss. They walked out of the door and saw the person who was shouting and were shocked. ”It's you! Yang Fan!”
”That's right!”
Fang Yuan was clad in white robes and appeared gentlemanly. As he walked, his loud voice filled the entire residence. ”Wang Yiai, Lady Wang! You abused your authorities as a Lady to pressurise me into listening to you three times. When I was eight, you made me miss my aptitude test for martial arts and forbid me from training martial arts. When I was twelve, you allowed your children to bully me, like what Yang Hu did... I will be patient to take my revenge. I will settle this score with you!”
”What audacity!”
This voice shocked the First Wife and attracted the attention of those in the other rooms.
”Yang Fan!!!”
Suddenly a shadow appeared and pounced towards Fang Yuan like a large worm. It was Yang Hu.
He was enraged. ”Good! Good! Very good! What audacity to wrong mother. Do you want to be beaten to death by the Family? I will grant your wish!”
As her son, hearing Fang Yuan verbally abuse his mother made Yang Hu infuriated.
”What a joke...Any kindness she gives me, I will repay in folds! However, Wang Yiai tried to harm me in every way possible, so where's the kindness? I will never acknowledge her as stepmother!”
In front of the Yang Family, Fang Yuan tore their relationship apart.
He knew that once he said that, the entire Yang Family would not let him off, not just Wang Yiai.
But so what?
Breaking through this mental barrier made him feel a lot better, as though he had quenched his 3-day thirst with icy cold water. Every pore of his skin relaxed, making him feel cooling.
'Yang Fan was holding on to two things. The first was Qing Gui, and the second should be this Lady Wang! Although he held on to other things like finding his biological mother, after completing this, I should be able to escape from the dream world unscathed!'
Fang Yuan's eyes glittered. ”Wang Yiai, come out and die!!!”
With this, he was just one step from death!
