Chapter 210: Chapter 210: See Once, Hit Once!
The Poisonous Insect Witch, while helping Zhan Liluo, deduced from the color of the extracted poisonous insect that Zhan Liluo might be pregnant!
However, no one knows whether the child is indeed Li Changlong’s. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
At present, Zhan Liluo’s only option is to marry Li Changlong—if she is unwilling, Zhan Lan will find a way to make her agree.
Zhan Lan returned to her home just in time to see Zhang’s people commanding others to bring the paralyzed Li Changlong into her mansion.
Li Changlong was brought before the house of the Li family, borne by others.
After understanding what had happened, she was so furious that her chest heaved violently, almost vomiting blood.
Zhang said coldly, "If he bothers Liluo again, I will not be so courteous!"
Li looked unwillingly towards Zhang; she dared not resist and could only swallow her anger for the moment.
Looking at her nephew who could not walk, Li didn’t know how to explain the situation to her sister, Li Wanniang.
"You vile woman, it was you who caused my legs to be like this, you let the Poisonous Insect Witch harm me!" Li Changlong pointed at Zhang’s nose and cursed.
Zhang, unwilling to deal with Li Changlong’s hooliganism, shot him a glare and said, "Accuse me falsely again, and I will have you arrested!"
Li Changlong was about to continue quarreling with Zhang when Li calmed him down.
After leaving Zhan Lan’s yard, Zhang felt extremely uncomfortable seeing how nice Zhan Lan’s mansion was.
Why should Zhan Lan step over her son’s dead body to earn top honors, and why should Zhan Lan become the Martial Arts Champion and gain the Emperor’s favor and trust?
Her father has many friends in the court; one day, he will definitely be able to bring Zhan Lan down!
Zhang’s eyes darkened as she left Zhan Lan’s mansion.
Zhan Lan immediately got wind that Zhang had brought Li Changlong.
She hurried back and saw Li Changlong lying in Li’s house.
Li Changlong, seeing a peerless beauty standing at the door, forgot his legs were immobilized and excitedly tried to stand up.
But, that beauty looked at him coldly like an iceberg. Zhan Lan turned to Li and demanded, "Who allowed you to keep him in my mansion?"
Li, infuriated by Zhan Lan’s words, veins bulging, retorted, "What are you saying? What ’your mansion’? Without me, where would you be!"
Zhan Lan’s gaze darkened as she looked at Li, "Make him leave immediately!"
Li angrily responded, "Have you lost your mind, Zhan Lan? He’s your cousin, Li Changlong!"
Zhan Lan scoffed contemptuously at the misshapen man on the bed.
Li Changlong, initially distracted by Zhan Lan’s beauty and now realizing she was his cousin, felt a surge of emotions.
However, Zhan Lan’s attitude truly angered Li Changlong.
He pointed a finger at Zhan Lan, with a sense of superiority, "Zhan Lan, we’re betrothed; you should be taking good care of me. How dare you treat your future husband with such an attitude. You’ve gone too far!"
Zhan Lan kicked Li Changlong off the bed with one foot, her voice icy, "Watch your filthy mouth, or I’ll have someone tear it apart!"
Li Changlong, hit hard by Zhan Lan’s kick, curled up on the floor clutching his chest and wailing, looking desperately towards Li for help.
Li, who had never seen Zhan Lan so furious, avoided confronting her directly any further, but tearfully said, "If you don’t want to marry, mother won’t force you, but he’s your cousin. What’s the harm in his staying at our home for a few days?"
Zhan Lan looked coldly at Li, "Make him leave, and if I see him again, I will beat him every time!"
Ever since entering this mansion, Li felt as if Zhan Lan had become a totally different person.
Right now, she is Martial Arts Champion and is about to take up the position of Deputy General at Heifeng Pass, which is beyond her control.
Li Youshui felt stifled in her heart, but she could only endure it in silence.
She said with grievance, "Alright, I will send your cousin to the inn."
Zhan Lan did not look at them again. Before leaving, she left a remark, "Be quick!"
Li Youshui watched Li Changlong, who was lying on the ground groaning, feeling extremely annoyed!
After Li Youshui sent the person to the inn, her head was about to explode.
One unfortunate event after another happened; her own elder sister, Li Wanniang, and her husband Li Youshui had come to Ding’an City together!
Who had informed them to come to Ding’an City?
Li Youshui had been in Ding’an City for so many years, and they only visited once a few years ago. Now that something has happened to Li Changlong, they all arrived!
Could it really be such a coincidence!
Li Youshui was extremely anxious. Her sister had doted on her only son since childhood. Now seeing Li Changlong suffering such a grievance in Ding’an City, how could she explain to them!
Li Youshui dared not delay; after receiving the letter, she went downstairs immediately.
Finally, when the two arrived looking travel-worn, Li Youshui, enduring her discomfort, put on an air and said, "Elder sister, why have you come?"
Li Wanniang smiled perfunctorily and said, "Where is Changlong? I heard about his situation in Phoenix City."
Li Youshui nodded and said, "Elder sister, listen to me, Changlong, he..."
Li Wanniang suddenly grabbed Li Youshui’s arm and said, "Which room is he staying in? Tell me. Your brother-in-law and I will take him home!"
Li Youshui hesitantly said, "Elder sister, you both must be exhausted from the journey; why not sit down and rest first?"
Li Youshui said impatiently, "You, just quickly tell me where Changlong is!"
Li Youshui’s hesitant demeanor made her sister, Li Wanniang, who knew her best, suspicious. Her expression turned cold and she said, "Are you hiding something from me!"
"I say..." Li Youshui had no choice but to lead them both to see Li Changlong.
When Li Wanniang reached upstairs, seeing her son lying on the bed, she cried inconsolably, "Changlong, what happened to you, your leg..."
Li Changlong threw himself into his mother’s arms, crying like a three-year-old child, "Mother, you must seek revenge for your son!"
Li Changlong told his mother everything that had recently happened.
Li Youshui watched her sister’s escalating loss of control, feeling immensely guilty.
Li Wanniang did not expect that her son, previously claiming to visit Ding’an City for a few days, ended up interacting with the second branch of Zhan Family, and even slept with their legitimate daughter.
Her son’s leg was now crippled because of Zhan Family. All of this must have been instigated by her dearest younger sister!
Li Wanniang looked at Li Youshui, teary-eyed with hatred, and asked, "No matter what you did back then, we never asked, because you are my younger sister, and I have always been helping you. Is this how you treat my son now!"
Li Youshui suddenly knelt down, "Elder sister, I was wrong. I only wanted to secure a good marriage for Changlong, although it mistakenly became the legitimate daughter of the second branch of Zhan Family. But Changlong did not suffer a loss!"
Li Youshui snorted coldly, "We still don’t know if Changlong’s leg can walk, and you tell me he didn’t suffer a loss!"
"The doctor just came and said that Changlong’s leg is temporarily paralyzed; it will recover after some time," Li Youshui consoled.
Hearing this, Li Wanniang’s expression slightly improved.
Li Youshui quickly suggested, "I have an idea, maybe this time Changlong can turn misfortune into a blessing."
