While Wen Yu could still hold back her anger at what Madam Zhou said, Wen Yanhe couldn't. He stepped forward, shielding Wen Yu behind him, then lifted his eyes with barely concealed anger. "So the Li family deliberately delayed things with my sister back then? I wondered what could be so important that you didn't even have time to propose marriage. It turns out it was all on purpose!"
In response to Wen Yanhe's questioning, Madam Zhou seemed to think it was perfectly reasonable.
With a resentful look in her eyes, she glared at Wen Yu and gritted her teeth. "She was just slightly offended, and now she can just ignore my son's life. Such a heartless woman is nothing but an ungrateful wretch!"
"If the Li family had really married her back then, would our whole family have to revolve around her from now on?"
"What's wrong with making her wait a few days? The Li family never said we wouldn't marry her. If she really loved and valued Qi Lun, how could she not even wait for a moment?"
[How dare this old hag say such things?]
[Look how angry she is now. If she knew that Li Qilun owes his current state to Sister Yu, wouldn't she be so angry that she'd go to the underworld to wait for her precious son first?]
[Like mother, like son. I knew a family that could raise such a son couldn't have a single normal elder!]
The bullet comments angrily scolded Madam Zhou.
[Sister Yu, I know you can see this. Just scold her a few times. I'm so angry that I might get breast nodules!]
Although Wen Yu didn't know exactly what breast nodules were, it sounded like some kind of illness.
She didn't want the people who supported her to get sick.
As for Madam Zhou, since she let Li Qilun act recklessly back then, she should bear the consequences now.
"I should really thank the Li family for not marrying me. After all, I was young and naive back then, and I thought Li Qilun was perfect in every way. But now that I've come to my senses..."
Wen Yu paused here, gave Madam Zhou a meaningful look, and then continued. "The family is truly of bad moral standing. If I had married into such a family, I would have been really unlucky."
"Speaking of which, Miss Meng is also a blessed girl. After all, she didn't enter this unlucky family."
"Since the first thing Madam Li did after coming to the capital was to cause a ruckus in the Wen mansion, I assume you're too lazy to go and see Li Qilun. So it's better if you don't see him from now on."
"Brother, do you know all the jailers in the Heavenly Prison?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Zhou's eyes widened with hatred.
Before she could start scolding, Wen Yanhe nodded with a smile. "Prisoners serving heavy sentences shouldn't be visited by others. I'll remind the jailer later to make sure Madam Li doesn't break the rules."
[Scold her! Now she won't even be able to see her son before he dies. Are you satisfied now? Anyway, I am!]
[So satisfying!]
[Go for it, Sister Yu! The Li family is really shameless. Back then, it was a step - down for Sister Yu to marry Li Qilun. It was already kind not to make them marry into our family. How dare they try to control Sister Yu?]
The bullet comments felt vindicated, and they were all praising Wen Yu for doing a great job.
After reading them, Wen Yu's smile became more genuine.
"Wen Yu, don't push your luck!" Madam Zhou was so angry that her face turned red.
But as soon as she took a half - step forward, Wen Yanhe gave her a cold look.
"Madam Li, let me warn you in advance. In my place, my sister is the most important. I don't have the rule of not hitting women." His voice was extremely cold, with a hint of threat.
[Brother Yu is so awesome!]
[Sister Yu should have told her family earlier. Look, now she's well - protected by her family. How great!]
[It's actually normal for Sister Yu not to dare to say anything. After all, not every family has such a protective brother and father.]
"You, you all!" Madam Zhou pointed at them tremblingly with her outstretched hand. Her body swayed unsteadily, looking as if she was about to faint.
Seeing this, Wen Yanhe was just about to say something else when Wen Xun appeared at this moment.
When he entered the main hall, General Li was following him.
"Come on, how much longer are you going to make a scene?" He gave Wen Yanhe a casual look and spoke indifferently.
Hearing this, Madam Zhou seemed to have found a backbone. She immediately pretended to cry and walked up to Li Feng. She pleaded to Wen Xun pitifully, "Lord Wen, all I wanted to do today was to ask Xiaoyu to help Qilun. Even if the Wen family is unwilling, you really shouldn't treat me like this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Feng's expression changed. He shook his head at Madam Zhou as if signaling something, but the latter was a bit confused.
"You really shouldn't have done this." Wen Xun said with a dark face.
As soon as he said this, Madam Zhou immediately thought there was still a chance. Just as she was about to persuade him further, Wen Xun suddenly turned around and punched Li Feng.
"You're all a bunch of scoundrels!" Wen Xun's eyes were bloodshot. He shook his painful hand while gritting his teeth. "No wonder you can say such shameless things. It turns out your skin is thicker than the city wall!"
His outburst was sudden. Li Feng was caught off guard and took the punch head - on. Immediately, the corner of his mouth split, and a trace of blood oozed out.
This sudden change caught Madam Zhou off guard. Even Wen Yu and her brother were a bit stunned.
Wen Xun was always outspoken, but as a civil official, he had always been a gentleman who used words rather than violence. But today, he actually struck someone!
After the shock, Madam Zhou looked at Wen Xun in disbelief and exclaimed, "Lord Wen, what are you doing!"
"Wen Yanhe, when did I ever teach you to be so indecisive?" Ignoring Madam Zhou's question, he then looked at Wen Yanhe seriously. "The Li family has bullied your sister. Do you think scolding them a few words will make them learn their lesson?"
After the pain on Li Feng's face subsided, he glared at Madam Zhou angrily. "You stupid woman! Why did you say such nonsense for no reason!"
Hearing this, Madam Zhou finally realized that Wen Xun must have heard everything she said to Wen Yanhe and Wen Yu just now.
With this realization, Madam Zhou's face turned pale almost instantly.
She dared to talk to Wen Yu and the other juniors like this because she still had hope in Wen Xun. But now, even her last hope was gone.
Unable to bear it, Madam Zhou collapsed to the ground on the spot.
"Li Feng, take your wife and get out of the Wen mansion. If you dare to show up in front of my daughter again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Wen Xun said coldly. He gave Madam Zhou, who was sitting on the ground, a disgusted look. "Your Li family is truly a nest of snakes and rats. There's not a single decent person from top to bottom."
"Wen Yanhe, after they're gone, have someone scrub this floor carefully. Throw out the chair that this unlucky woman sat on as well."
[Father Wen is so domineering!]
[With Father Wen's temper, I can't even imagine how patient the emperor must be...]
[Is this what it's like when a civil official gets angry? It's terrifying!]
Wen Yu looked at the bullet comments and then at Wen Xun's extremely angry face. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The sudden laughter made Madam Zhou's face turn even worse.
She looked up at Li Feng with an unwilling expression.
But seeing that she was still like this at this moment, Li Feng was even more furious.
They came to the Wen mansion today to seek help, but now it had all been ruined by this stupid woman. And she still had the nerve to be angry?
Li Feng was so angry that he turned around and left without caring that Madam Zhou was still sitting on the ground.
"What are you still standing there for? If she won't leave, have someone throw her out. Let the people of Shengjing see what kind of scoundrels the Li family are!" Wen Xun ordered coldly. Then he turned around with his hands behind his back, as if looking at Madam Zhou for one more second would dirty his eyes.
