The loud scream startled everyone in the room, they saw Sanguan Jin Sheng and Sanguan Liu Wen marched from the front door with a stern face, both of them look furious not because they worried about Zhao Li Xin well being but because they had been trying to gain Zhao Li Xin trust for weeks, alas everything was ruined by his mother and wives.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Sanguan Jin Sheng shouted as he entered the room.

​​

Everyone in the room including Zi Yi Ru and Yuan Xi Mei was shocked they didn't expect he would question Zi Yi Ru and Yuan Xi mei in front of other people, this was like a slapped to their face. Zhao Jin Sheng glare at the guard who is holding the wooden stick, the guards shrink his neck, and the other guards who were pressed Zhao Li Xin down immediately retracted their hands.

Sanguan Jin Sheng's face flushed red as he trembled with fury, everyone who saw this scene mistaking Sanguan Jin Sheng's anger with Fatherly love, they're thought Sanguan Jin Sheng was angry because Zhao Li Xin was injured.

It's begin dawned to them how much Sanguan Jin Sheng loved his first son and how big their mistakes were, everyone, started to feel restless they scared of what would Sanguan Jin sheng do to them.

It was a quite funny situation because the only person who cannot be fooled by Sanguan Jin Sheng acted was only Zhao Li Xin, alas Zhao Li Xin is the only person that sanguan Jin Sheng wished to deceive.

"What have you done?" Sanguan Jin Sheng hissed at Zi Yi Ru.

Zi Yi Ru's face turned to ashen, she fidgeting under Sanguan Jin Sheng death stared.

"Don't blame Yi Ru for this, I'm was the one who punished this insolent child!" Yuan Xi Mei lifted her chin arrogantly, one the other hands Sanguan Liu Wen was startled and furious by his wife boldness, he swallows down his irritation while massaged his forehead wearily, even though Sanguan Liu Wen knew his wife was a reckless and overbearing woman but he didn't know she can be stupid too.

"Mother.." Sanguan Jin Sheng complaint helplessly.

"What, am I not allowed to punish your precious son?" The old lady sarcastically asked, she didn't know why his indifferent Son spoiled Qin Mu Yi son's very much, for all she know Sanguan Jin Sheng was not even that generous to Sanguan Wu Ci. As Yuan Xi Mei's imagination run wild she thought Sanguan Jin Sheng still unable to forget about Qin Mu Yi.

Furry roared through her mind, she hated that cheating whore to the core, Qin Mu Yi was the jinx in her family and her Son just the same, just look what happened to their family after Qin Mu Yi son's arrived.

Yuan Xi Mei point her finger at Zhao Li Xin "Do you know how rude your good son is? he thought because he becomes the first son of the Sanguan family his position will be higher than everyone else, not only he dares to humiliate his step Mother, he even dares to disrespect me, tell me was is my mistake?" the old lady venting her anger incessantly.

"But…" Sanguan Jin Sheng choked on his words, he already experienced firsthand how obnoxious Zhao Li Xin could be, not only his mother he also wanted to beat that ungrateful child more than once, unfortunately, he still needs Zhao Li Xin.

"Husband, I know you care about your Son very much but if Lu Xin doesn't cross the line, will I and your mother punished him like this, in fact, we've been nothing but patient to him since he arrived to our Manor. We have given him the same treatment as Wu Ci and Wu Hao, no one ever complained when Lu Xin never pays respect to the elders. We never blame Lu Xin when he gives his brother and sisters cold-shoulder, not once he tried to be part of our family, he rather isolated himself in his courtyard and never let anyone get closed, and now he humiliated me in front of the family how could I accepted it!" Zi Yi Ru let out her grieves in tears, she feel Sanguan Jin Sheng has wronged her.

They all pity Zi Yi Ru and agree that Zhao Li Xin is the one who gets out of line and he deserved to be punished, they secretly dissatisfied with Sanguan Jin Sheng's biased towards Zhao Li Xin. On the other hand, Sanguan Jin Sheng wanted to slap Zi Yi Ru's face for questioning him in front of his family and made people against him, he didn't understand what is she thinking?

Well, the answer was simple, it was jealousy. But, a self-centered and selfish man like him would never understand how could Zi Yi Ru jealous of a dead woman, he has treated Zi Yi Ru fairly today so she should have nothing to complain to him. Like father like son, it explained where Sanguan Wu Ci learned how to treat women poorly.

"Zi Yi Ru, you – you stupid woman!" he burst in anger.

"Don't you dare blamed your wife!" The old lady defended her daughter-in-law although they do not always see eye to eyes, however, for now, they put aside their difference so they can join their hands together to destroy their common enemies, which is Zhao Li Xin.

Mother…" he whines.

"What you want to blame me too, do you love your illegitimate Son and forget you have another Son, what about Wu Ci and Wu Hao, do you not care about them anymore?" Yuan Xi Mei poured out her anger.

"Lu Xin is not my illegitimate Son, and what does this have to do with my other Sons?" Sanguan Jin Sheng rebuked his mother.

"What does that have to do with them?" she gives sardonic smiles "You only have been paying attention to your first Son since the day he has come, and you have never asked about Wu Ci and Li Ye's condition ever since, do you forgot about Wu Ci marriage, you not even bother to deal with Long Ming after what they did to our Daughter!" Zi Yi Ru seemed unable to control herself, she begins to shouting and blaming everything to Sanguan Jin Sheng.

"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!" more shouts came from Sanguan Jin Sheng.

"But that's true isn't it…" Yuan Xi Mei scoffed.

"Old Lady, shut your mouth!" Sanguan Liu Wen couldn't hold it anymore, Yuan Xi Mei just made things worse.

Yuan Xi Mei stunned after she was harshly reprimanded by her husband but instead shutting her mouth her rage only increased like a wildfire "Old Sanguan did you mad at me because this wretched child, do you start to acknowledged this disgraceful woman Son's, are you out of your minds?!"

"Old Lady, what are you talking about?" Sanguan Liu Wen felt provoked then he begin to yell to her as well.

The room suddenly filled with screams, cries, and shouts as the tension gradually heated up like a boiling pot, everyone in the room held their breaths no one dared to make a sound or breathe too loud when the four main members of the Sanguan family lost their temper like nothing they have ever seen before, they can only pray that they will not turn their anger on to them.

Meanwhile, what was Zhao Li Xin doing in a meantime? he remained in the same position, people thought with those three hits if not he broke his calf at least he would be badly injured so they thought Zhao Li Xin stayed in the same position because he was unable to moves. Unbeknownst to everyone Zhao Li Xin was unharmed, he had circulated his Qi throughout his body to strengthened himself not only he avoids injury he didn't even feel pain during the intense punishment, actually he kinda bored and the fight between them only irritated him further.

He hoped they stop screaming because the noised started to hurt his ears, Zhao Li Xin let out a long sighed, he wished he was home with his princess right now, he darted his gaze to his 'supposed' to be biological family then he glanced to the window then wonder how long it's going to be?

Meanwhile, Sanguan Wu Ci entered the room with a speechless look "What is going on?" he muttered.

"Are you sure you wanted to go?" Bei Li Yan props his chin with both his hands on the table.

"Yeah, they're something I need to do…this is very important" Lory sheathed the red dagger under her sleeves, and the long dagger she got from Wu san Bo was placed neatly on her waist. Lory already change her luxurious dress to a simple black robe, she tied her hair into a low bun then she wears a protective leather glove for the archer on her right hands, it's a new glove that she asked Wu San Bo to made especially for her.

Unlike normal gloves the archer gloves only protect the index, middle, and ring fingers on their, in design to be thicker on the tip so it would protect the three fingers that used to shoot from the bowstring, it was quite a unique design for people in this world but it was very common in her world.

When Lory dressed like this she becomes more like a hunter than boudoir lady. Bei Li Yan watched Lory with grinned, he thought Lory was more suited with this style than the fancy dress she used to wear. Although she looks beautiful either way, but she undeniably looked more glowing when she dresses like this.

"Then I'm coming with you!" Bei Li Yan clapped his hands.

"Don't you have other things to do? Mong Yi is coming with me so you don't have to worry" Lory said.

"Oh is not you that I'm worried about, is my own life that I'm worried about, if Milord knows that you left with little protection, he would have killed us" Bei Li Yan sighed.

"Yeah, that's true, especially when I didn't tell him what I'm about to do…" Lory clicked her tongue, she already could imagine how tedious the scolding would be when Zhao Li Xin knew what she was doing.

"Why you didn't tell milord…." Bei Li Yan whined.

Lory look at Bei Li Yan as if he was stupid "Because he gonna say 'No'!" for Lory, is better to say sorry than asked for permission especially when she didn't have much time.

"True…" Bei Li Yan agrees readily.

"You know where we should go first right?"

"Yes, I got my list here…" Bei Li Yan patted his chest.

"Then, we should going we cannot let Jiu Yun sect have all the fun~" Lory smiled mischievously. Just a few hours ago, Yang Xi Ying, Li Mo Zhen, and a few of the Jiu Yun sect members left to investigated people who involved with Lao min Na.

"Lory, are you always like this in your old world too?" Bei Li Yan suddenly asked.

Lory creased her eyebrows "What do you mean?"

"You know…do whatever you want?" he shrugged.

Lory tilted her head while pondering for two seconds then she nodded "Yeah!"

"No one tried to stop you?" he asked again.

"Oh, they tried…" Lory giggled.

"Then what happens?"

"They failed, just like you guys~" she grinned with her eyes twinkling.
