Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 178

178 He has to die

Xu Zifan didn’t want Feng Lao’s wife to suffer. So, he decided to tell Li Hua about it which would help her judge rationally.

“Li Hua, Feng Lao is going to be a father soon. The one who he got married to was the one whom I was supposed to marry.” Xu Zifan revealed the most important truth to her. Lóng Wei, Mingquan, and Huang Xi were unaware of the fact that the woman Feng Lao married was Xu Zifan’s choice once.

“He has to die, Elder First Brother. I cannot show any mercy to any of them. Justice shall be served and for that, every single person who was present in our house that night will have the same fate,” Li Hua said. It didn’t matter to her anymore if Feng Lao’s wife was pregnant or not.

“It seems Xu Zifan is getting weak because of the woman he loved,” Lóng Wei remarked. Li Hua glanced at her brother and saw the sadness in his eyes.

“Brother, who knows that her family is also involved in this? This is not the time to be weak,” Li Hua proclaimed in a firm tone. Lóng Wei smiled and fell for this side of hers.

“You are right. However, Yang Mei is pregnant, so let’s not involve her. She and the life inside her have nothing to do with all this,” Xu Zifan suggested to her.

“Xu Zifan, my thoughts are different from yours. If Feng Lao suffers, Yang Mei will suffer too, and so will her child. Even if we do not involve her, she will get involved somehow,” Lóng Wei opined. Mingquan agreed with his words and wondered if they would spare Feng Lao.

“Sadly, I am not in the mood to spare him. He has to die,” Lóng Wei pronounced and frowned.

“So, tomorrow, will we all go there? Shui Xiaoqing is upset with the Sixth Prince’s behavior.” Huang Xi went back to the plan that Li Hua had thought of.

.....

“We will go in the evening. I have given an important task to Tang Zhaodang. If he accomplishes that task, it will benefit us. The Shui Family will be trapped completely,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“What did Prince Lóng Wei ask Tang Zhaodang to bring?” Xu Zifan queried.

“I will tell you tomorrow,” Lóng Wei replied. “I suppose you still like Feng Lao’s wife. Will you be able to see her tomorrow with another man!? The man who was once your friend.” He wanted to find out if Xu Zifan would start to beg him to spare Feng Lao upon seeing Yang Mei or not.

“My family is above everything. I do not have any feelings for Yang Mei anymore. I was only concerned about her because my father always taught me to respect women and never let them suffer, especially if any of them were pregnant,” Xu Zifan stated.

“I will read your face tomorrow when you two will be in front of each other,” Lóng Wei said, looking at Li Hua.

“What will you do after seeing him? Will you question him and his father?” Lóng Wei asked.

“His Highness will find out tomorrow,” Li Hua said, and she turned her head left to look at Mingquan and Huang Xi. “I want to thank the Fourth Prince and Commander Huang Xi, who are ready to help us.”

“Sister-in-law, you are a part of the regal family. We are supposed to help each other. You don’t need to thank me,” Mingquan said.

“His Highness is right. I am supposed to serve the regal family until my last breath. That’s my duty as the Commander,” Huang Xi said, and she gave a tiny smile.

“It is late at night. We should leave for our respective chambers to rest,” Mingquan suggested to them.

“Sure. Forgive me for taking too much time for everyone,” Li Hua apologized.

“Please, don’t be apologetic,” Mingquan said, looking at Lóng Wei.

He stood up and walked to Li Hua. He held out his hand, which Li Hua grabbed. He pulled her up and said goodnight to the others before leaving with Li Hua.

“Xu Zifan, everything will be good tomorrow,” Mingquan assured him and left for his chamber, followed by Huang Xi, who yawned at the door.

Xu Zifan looked at his right arm, which he had lost. “Feng Lao, why did you turn so selfish? Why did you support your father that day? Why did you marry Yang Mei out of all the women? You were well aware of my feelings for her, yet you didn’t think of me once,” Xu Zifan murmured. He accepted in front of everyone that he had no hard feelings for Yang Mei, but it was all a lie.

Lóng Wei and Li Hua arrived at the bedchamber. “Your Highness, I think it will be tough for my elder brother to see Yang Mei. I don’t think he stopped his feelings for her,” Li Hua said.

“He will tomorrow. She looked too happy in her life,” Lóng Wei said, and stood behind her. He removed the overcoat that she had put on. “I wonder if you will stay strong in front of Feng Lao. When you have feelings for someone and the person betrays you, it hurts a lot,” Lóng Wei said as he put the overcoat on the chaise lounge.

Li Hua turned to look at him. “His Highness will see tomorrow how strong I have become,” she stated. “I am hurt that His Highness kept lying to me until the very end. For some reason, Feng Lao’s betrayal didn’t hurt me much. But His Highness’s lie did hurt me a lot.”

Lóng Wei approached her and gave her a warm embrace. “I found out that I must not lie to you. I won’t hide anything from you,” Lóng Wei said.

Li Hua moved her head back to peer at him. “Then, he must tell us about him as soon as we solve the matter here,” she said. Lóng Wei surprised her by lifting her into his arms.

“First, we must sleep. A night of good sleep is necessary before attacking the fort of enemy,” Lóng Wei said, and took her to bed.
