Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Leaving Older Brother Behind to Escape Alone_l

The Wei Family was indeed a martial general family. Although their eldest son didn’t excel in martial arts, he had inherited his father, Wei Mingting’s keen observation and insight. If not, he wouldn’t have been able to quickly locate their place of captivity.

Unfortunately, the young master Wei was too overconfident, not anticipating the kind of enemy he was facing, which led to them all becoming prisoners together.

However, it wasn’t his fault. The Wei Family’s sons in Taizhou prefecture couldn’t even dream of how vast the force involved in this kidnapping was.

At this moment, Wei Yichen had no interest in hearing any praise for himself.

What he wanted to know now was why the innocent Wanwan would be in such a close relationship with a man.

“Wanwan, tell your brother, what the hell is going on? Why are you so intimate with this man?”

In this moment, Wei Qingwan and Qi Zhen were still closely pressed together, their close relationship was self-evident.

Realising this, Wei Qingwan quickly distanced herself from Qi Zhen and tried to explain, “Brother, don’t be angry, I was just cold, and to keep warm, I had to stay close to Master Qi…”

“So, the woman I saw secretly meeting with this man on the back hill of Anzhou Academy is you! And you lied to me that you had never been to Anzhou Academy!” Wei Yichen accused again.

Wei Qingwan bit her lip, this time she couldn’t defend herself.

That day, she indeed went out, because the Tongzhi Prefecture’s gentleman had to leave on business, giving everyone half a day off. So she used learning embroidery with the embroiderer as an excuse to go out with Master Qi.

Wei Qingwan’s silence shattered the last bit of hope in Wei Yichen’s heart.

Previously, no matter what the shop owner said, no matter how some signs pointed out the problem, Wei Yichen was reluctant to believe that his sister, whom he had watched grow up, would behave so inappropriately.

“How can you do something so shameless?” Wei Yichen was furious, not just at Wei Qingwan’s inappropriate actions, but also at her deception towards him.

“Brother, don’t be angry. Master Qi and I love each other, and we have acted within propriety and never done anything inappropriate!” Wei Qingwan hurriedly explained to Wei Yichen.

“You thinkyour actions are not overstepping bounds?! Is this how our family taught you?! After all these years of reading, have you learned to be as frivolous as a harlot?!” Wei Yichen was heartbroken.

“Brother, I really didn’t do anything inappropriate! Master Qi is a gentleman. Nothing more happened between us. We just genuinely admire each other. Brother, you must believe me!” Wei Qingwan strenuously defended herself.

Wei Yichen didn’t want to hear any more of Wei Qingwan’s excuses, he painfully closed his eyes, wishing he could close his ears as well.

Seeing Wei Yichen’s reaction, Wei Qingwan became scared and upset, and couldn’t help but start crying again.

Qi Zhen quietly watched from the sidelines, not expressing any opinions on the sibling disagreement.

Just then, there was another commotion outside, bigger than before.

After a while, the room’s door opened again. A few plain-clothed men came in with torches, instantly illuminating the small room.

“Master!” The men bowed to Qi Zhen.

Then they went up to untie Qi Zhen.

“How are things outside?” Qi Zhen asked.

The fighting outside hadn’t stopped yet.

“Master, the enemy is strong, and we can’t take them down in a short time. We are afraid that they will get reinforcements, so we chose to break through and rescue you first. Please leave with us as soon as possible.”

Qi Zhen nodded, then ordered them to untie Wei Qingwan next to him.
