Chapter 501 The Son Must Die
Li Mei, with tears in her eyes, looked at Wang Wenzhou with deep affection. "My nemesis! You can disown your parents, you can argue with your mother, even put her in jail. But I can't! No matter how bad they are, they are still my parents who gave me life and raised me."
If a father wants his son to die, the son must die. This is not only out of filial piety, but also because my life was given to me by my parents! If they want it back, I can only give it back to them.
"Baby, be good, don't do anything foolish!" Wang Wenzhou was frantic, trying to break free from the guards' restraints, but the three guards held him down tightly. Wang Wenzhou's wrists were bruised and purple from the force of his struggle.
Li Mei said in a tearful voice, "Wang Wenzhou, I..."
"Damn it! Here we go again!" Wang Wenzhou was on the verge of tears and quickly said, "Baby, stop! I loved you, and I will love you now and in the future!"
Li Zong said irritably, "Lord Wang, please have some self-respect and refrain from speaking nonsense!"
Bah! Wang Wenzhou wanted nothing more than to strangle Li Zong. "You, Li, just you wait! If you drive my baby to his death today, I'll get my revenge!" "That's too much! All I did that day was slap you. You were angry, so I'll give it back! Just don't kill my baby!"
Li Mei looked at Wang Wenzhou with deep affection. "My darling," she thought, "only now do I realize how much I loved hearing you say you loved me. But I'll never hear it again."
"Wang Wenzhou, please don't hurt my father! It's not his fault! It's all my fault, I brought this on myself!" Li Mei knew Wang Wenzhou well and knew that this vengeful man would hold a grudge. If she died, she was afraid that he would take revenge on her father.
"Baby, don't be silly!" Wang Wenzhou said cursingly, "Why do you still acknowledge him as your father? He doesn't even acknowledge you as his daughter anymore! If he still acknowledged you as his daughter, why would he force you to die?"
Li Kaiyin remained silent. How could he not acknowledge his own daughter? The key was that he was forced by circumstances!
Li Mei cried out, "Wang Wenzhou, I only ask you for this one thing, and you won't even grant it?"
Li Mei knew Wang Wenzhou well. Although he was usually irreverent and rarely spoke the truth, if he seriously promised something, he would definitely do it. When Gao Guilan passed away, she left a will asking him to raise a dog named Ru Ru. To her surprise, Li Mei risked greatly angering Liu Ru Shi and actually did it.
"I won't agree! Baby, don't be foolish!" Wang Wenzhou knew that if he agreed, Li Mei would hang herself.
"Whatever you want!" Li Mei glanced at Wang Wenzhou with lingering affection and said softly, "Goodbye! Husband, if there is an afterlife, even if it ends like this again, I will still let you sleep with me!"
After Li Mei finished speaking, she kicked away the stool under her feet...
"Sister-in-law!" Wang Wenzhou shouted hoarsely, but no matter how hard he screamed, Li Mei was still dead.
Li Kaiyin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He was furious and angry at Li Zong for driving his daughter to her death, and angry at himself for becoming Li Zong's accomplice for the sake of his reputation and face.
"Lord Wang, please return!" Li Kaiyin said to Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou smiled, as if nothing had happened. He said with a laugh, "Have your guards release me. I'm going home! You Koreans are really crazy, willing to force your own daughter to die! If it were me, I couldn't do it!"
Li Zong sneered, "Lord Wang, although you come from a land of etiquette, there are some things you don't understand."
"Release Lord Wang, why are you holding him?" Li Zong ordered the guards to release Wang Wenzhou in a serious manner, as if he didn't know why he had just restrained Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou suppressed his anger. It wasn't that he didn't want to avenge Li Mei, but the key was that even if he wanted to, he couldn't do anything to Li Zong and Li Kaiyin.
This is Seoul. Wang Wenzhou only has a thousand female guards. Even if he risks his life, he cannot break into the Joseon royal palace.
"Brother Li, thank you for today. You gave me such a wonderful show. I'll treat you to a show another day! Goodbye!" Wang Wenzhou said, and left without looking back.
"Hmph!" Li Zong cursed inwardly as he watched Wang Wenzhou's retreating figure. "Mad dog! You killed my brother, so I will kill your woman! You must understand my feelings now. The pain of losing a loved one is one of the most painful things in the world."
Wang Wenzhou walked out of the Jinlin County Duke's Mansion with a smile on his face. Wang Ying and Chen Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief; judging from their antagonistic relationship, Li Mei should be alright.
Wang Ying, as if relieved of a great burden, said with a smile, "You're finally out! We were so worried about you, afraid you'd do something foolish. Why didn't Li Mei come out with you? Did she want to stay home and spend more time with our parents?"
Wang Wenzhou nodded and said with a smile, "Let's go back to the inn first."
As soon as the three of them got into the sedan chair, Wang Wenzhou rushed into Wang Ying's arms and burst into tears.
"What's wrong?" Wang Ying was very puzzled. Her boyfriend was fine just now. Could it be that Li Mei's father was against her being with him?
"Li Mei is dead!" Wang Wenzhou said sadly, "Sister-in-law, do you know? It was her father! Her own father! He forced her to die! Li Mei was such a fool, so obedient to her father! He told her to die, so she died!"
"Ah!" Chen Yuanyuan exclaimed in shock, saying in disbelief, "How can there be such a father in the world?"
"Li Mei forbade me from hurting her father before she died, but how can I swallow this anger?" Wang Wenzhou was really angry. A baby died in front of him, but he was powerless to save her.
Wang Ying held Wang Wenzhou's head, lost in thought. She understood that Li Mei's father had driven her to suicide for the sake of the family's reputation. Compared to Li Mei, Wang Ying felt very lucky. Her father, Tian Wan, still loved her as much as before, and even the rumors and gossip outside bore the brunt of it all alone. He never mentioned to Wang Ying the scorn and ridicule he suffered because of her being with Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou knelt against Wang Ying's chest and cried for a while, then suddenly stood up and patted the sedan chair.
Jian Fengyu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Wang Wenzhou said coldly, "Find a way to notify the fleet and have Wei Yongfu bring men to Seoul secretly."
"Yes!" Jian Fengyu quickly accepted the order.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ying's expression changed. Wei Yongfu was the battalion commander of the Iron-Blooded Anti-Traitor Battalion, and his men were all desperate criminals. Her enemy had sent him here with his men; they were definitely up to no good!
Wang Ying quickly advised, "Husband, this is Korea, not Liaodong! You can't act recklessly here. If Korea betrays the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party will all blame you."
"Good girl, sister-in-law!" Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "There are crazy people who don't care about their lives everywhere. If one day a crazy person from Liaodong goes to North Korea to carry out a terrorist attack, can you blame me? Even if the King of North Korea knows that I did it, he won't have any evidence, because the evidence will show that it was the Tartars who did it!"
"Sister-in-law, Li Mei is dead. I can't let her die in vain!" Wang Wenzhou cried out in distress.
"Sigh..." Wang Ying gently stroked Wang Wenzhou's head, no longer trying to persuade him. She knew that even if she tried, her nemesis wouldn't listen.
