Chapter 247 - The QUEEN OF SERPENT'S POISON
Chapter 247 - The QUEEN OF SERPENT'S POISON
"I will not go away from my home," Song Lily refused him outright which was as expected. Pointing towards Zhenyi, she added," You are sending me away from my home because of this damned girl. She has already eaten her mother, now you will let her swallow my Long family?"
Song Lily lost her sanity when Long Shaoming asked her to leave the Long family temporarily.
Ah...Song Lily's weakness was leaving the Long family.
Zhenyi's chest tightened as she heard what Song Lily said about her again. Why did she have to drag her mom in every conversation she had with her?
She wanted to kill her right now and right there. However, her bloodlust settled as she felt a hand on her shoulder which apparently belonged to Grandma Mian.
"Wong!" Long Shaoming called out loud. Wong was his most trusted employee and also the assistant.
Wong magically appeared a while later.
"Master," Wong said, his head hanging low in respect.
"Send my wife back to the Song family," Long Shaoming said. To tell the truth, to earn Zhenyi's trust he gave away the biggest weakness of his wife to her. He had taken his chances and so he didn't regret his choice of punishing his wife this time."If she didn't agree, tell the Liu family that the marriage between Long Yuan and Liu Shishi had to be postponed for the time being due to some family issues. Given how long the Liu family had waited for the wedding to happen, I believe that they won't mind waiting for a year more."
Song Lily, then, went silently away with Wong because she knew her husband's threats were not idle. She needed Liu Shishi as Long Yuan's wife in this house at any cost.
'Today you won, Xin Zhenyi. But tomorrow will be mine. I will defeat you and throw you out of Long Jie's life. He is my son. My son. My son will listen to me, not to you. Your family broke his family once and I won't let you break my son again."

"Did I just hear that my wedding with the plast--" Yuan ticked his tongue. "I mean Liu Shishi just got postponed again?"
Long Yuan looked surprised. He was not expecting this. However, the news didn't affect him.
"You heard wrong," Long Shaoming said. "You are late for breakfast. You must have woken up late again. Is this how a man of your age should behave?"
Long Yuan looked embarrassed. Yes, he usually woke up late. But not today.
Grandma Mian chuckled at him. It wouldn't be a lie to say she was practically glowing with happiness for getting rid of Song Lily for a few days." Come join us for breakfast."
"Thank you for asking, Grandma," said Long Yuan. "But I just had the tastiest pancakes in the whole wide world specially made by Uncle Yichen."
"Since when did you start calling Xin Yichen as Uncle?" Long Shaoming asked with a frown. He didn't like the way his son had addressed his nemesis.
"You went to Xin residence?" Grandma Mian asked at the same time.
Long Yuan nodded. "I went to Xin residence this morning as Zhenyi assigned me a task."
"Call her sister-in-law," Grandma Mian corrected him.
Long Yuan inwardly rolled his eyes but agreed. "Sure. Sister-in-law asked me to do her a favor. So I have to leave for Xin Mansion earlier this morning as I will be leaving for London later."
Zhenyi didn't correct the "favor" thing. "Thank you, Yuan. And please call me Zhenyi. As long as you respect me as your sister-in-law in your heart, you don't have to call me by the title."
Long Yuan smiled at her, though he had an urge to retort.
"Zhenyi is right," Long Shaoming said, turning towards her. "And you should call me father now as Long Jie does."
Zhenyi's smile vanished.
"Do you have any problem with calling me, father?" Long Shaoming asked.
Zhenyi shook her head. "No, I don't, father."
'It's just that my Bà is going to be jealous.'

On the other side.
"Mr. Feng, Lord Tang's condition has deteriorated all of a sudden." A doctor came running towards Feng Siyan, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"What do you mean?" Although Feng Siyan raised the question, he was running towards Lord Tang's room even faster than the doctor.
When Feng Siyan reached Lord Tang's room, he was startled by the view of the doctors trying to revive Lord Tang.
"How does this happen, doctor?" Feng Siyan managed to ask.
"Poison. He was injected with an unknown poison. We can't treat him unless we know what he has been injected with."
Su Yi came forwards with his team of men and fell on his knees before Feng Siyan.
"Kill us, Mr. Feng. We deserved to die. We failed to protect our lord."
"How did you fail, Su Yi?" Feng Siyan's cold voice full of authority.
"We were stationed on night duty when all of a sudden we fell unconscious. We didn't smell anything suspicious in the air. Yet, someone managed to knock us out. It was poison.it knocked us out for a whole ten minutes."
The answer was given by Su Yi.
"Feng Siyan!"
Feng Siyan turned around only to find huffing Gu Tian. He was left here by Long Jie to assist Feng Siyan in Long Jie's absence.
He came closer to whisper something in Feng Siyan's ear.
A dark expression cast on Feng Siyan's cold face.
'Little princess's body temperature has surged again. It's time for her to go back to China yet it was not safe for her there.'
"Mr. Feng, we are not able to investigate the poison that has been injected into Lord Tang's blood. Please give us more time." The team of doctors was trembling and so were the soldiers deployed.
Was it the end of the world?
Just how valuable was Lord Tang's life?
"You won't, doctor," Feng Siyan replied in a cold voice. "The Queen of Serpents has injected the poison. You will never find the antidote."
