My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

"AHHH!!!" The scream echoed. Li Lian wondered if Li Jun Wei was pushing too hard as he was deep in anger and went to stop him before he did things that wouldn’t be able to undo. But before she did, she found Mrs. Jin was still on her ground, covering her head in fear for the impact which didn’t come as Li Jun Wei had just stopped his swung when the golf stick neared her head a little. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

On the other hand, Jin Nu Yuan who screamed had fell on the ground, fainted as fear had caught her entire body and suspend her consciousness.

Mrs. Jin opened her eyes when she realized the golf stick didn’t hit her and her eyes opened to see Li Jun Wei’s shadow towering her in a taunt. His smile crept slowly on his lips, "Did I scared you, auntie? I won’t beat you. I have plenty of things stored in my mind as for what I can do and this is only a warning for you to clean your mouth and not call my wife with the condescending remark you said earlier."

Mrs. Jin was still caught in shock and stupor. It was because the moment Li Jun Wei had swung the golf stick across she could tell that he didn’t hesitated and had only stop for the reason he uttered. If the reason wasn’t there, he wouldn’t have stopped himself from whacking her head.

"Jun Wei," her grandmother called, afraid that her grandson had truly lost all colors and kill anyone.

Li Lian met gazes with Madam Li who looked at her with a pursed lips, leaving Li Lian wondering what they were thinking of her now. "Can you explain us about the rumors?" questioned Linyue who had been silent in the room, knowing that her words would help Li Lian and Li Lian turned to see Linyue smiling back at her, "I know that rumors must be wrong. But I also don’t get how Mrs. Jin would be brave to accuse Li Lian if she doesn’t receive a strong rumor from others."

Mrs. Jin snapped eyes toward Linyue, her daughter-in-law who had instead of helping her has asked questions and stood there as a spectator with anger. Linyue saw the look that Mrs. Jin gave but can’t bothered with it as she was prepared to cut ties with the entire family.

Li Jun Wei looked at Li Lian, and they exchanged gazes as he spoke, "The rumors of Li Lian using the drugs is true."

"I knew it," scoffed Mr. Jin who was distressed. Right now if there was anything he could mock, he would as he had lost everything.

Li Lian could hear the loud gasps that came from Senior Mr. and Madam Li as they could have never guessed Li Lian would use drug as they believed she was a good and sweet girl; and they weren’t able to hear the rest of the story as Li Jun Wei’s explanation was interrupted by Mr. Jin.

Li Jun Wei raised his leg and kicked the man from behind just enough to have Mr. Jin groan in pain, "It is correct but to some extent. It was the same step sister who had bullied her all this years who had also arrange people to drug Li Lian. After that, she was placed in intensive care unit due to almost overdosing the drugs which those people fed and injected her despite her protest. Li Lian was strong to break from the capture and admitted herself to the hospital. If she didn’t, she would have died."

"She again!" Madam Li scoffed in anger, her heart feeling hot with anger as Li Lian had to suffer from the unfairness of her sister, "Was there no evidence that you could use to bring those people and her sister to the jail?"

Li Jun Wei hummed seeing Mrs. Jin’s expression falling as she had made a wrong move which she had thought would be her last card that would turn the tables. Even if she would be punished soon, she didn’t care if she could bring at least one person with her. But she failed and Li Jun Wei could see the distress that formed lines to Mrs. Jin’s face as she realized that everything was falling apart.

Li Jun Wei said, "As for her sister I haven’t been able to get the clear clue, while those people who was involved had been punished and is serving their sentence in the jail."

"Have you asked them to give witness to that girl," said Senior Mr. Li, in process of thinking what to do that could help Li Lian to solve the problem that had stained her good name.

"We were planning to do it soon," Li Jun Wei responded, coming toward Li Lian’s side, "That girl had done too many things that we will be allotting all that she did altogether before giving her a lesson."

"What else had she done?" questioned Madam Li, looking at Li Lian.

She pursed her lips and open to say, "My grandmother fell from the stairs and there is a possibility that Hue Lin had pushed her." and at this another frown appeared at both Senior Mr. and Madam Li.

"We should visit her soon," Madam Li concluded, waking near Li Lian, the elder woman too a light squeeze on her hand to encourage her. She then turned her face to Mrs. Jin, "I am disappointed of you, Xishe, I had thought you was a good girl since you were young but my trust had blinded you that I can’t took a good look at your true intention which was ill to my family. You have embarrassed me and from now on, I will not be responsible for anything you face nor will I be helping you again."

Mrs. Jin became more frightened seeing that her aunt had washed her hand off her case, leaving her with Li Jun Wei who was far more than ready to ’take care’ of her. "Grandmother and grandfather, you two can leave for now. I will be having of plenty of talk with auntie and uncle. Violet bring the rest away."

Li Lian turned her eyes to see Madam Li patting her back with a smile and she nodded to the elder woman. Before everyone left, Linyue said, "I will be staying here." and Li Jun Wei nodded.

"What will you do now?" Li Lian asked, coming to stand beside him.

"Having a light talk. Auntie doesn’t seem like she understand her mistake. We’ll talk and get the apology you need," Li Jun Wei offered her a milder smile.

"But I am fine, we can go home," Li Lian didn’t see the need to bother any longer when she had enough and know that soon Mrs. Jin would be in jail for the things that she had done including defaming her name. But more than that, Li Lian can’t bear seeing Li Jun Wei’s eyes turning hollower each hour. "I don’t want you to dirty your hands any longer and you need to sleep. I know you haven’t been sleeping the whole day since that happened."

"But I am not sleepy," Li Jun Wei replied, tucking her hair that had fallen and cover her hair.

"You can sleep with me," Li Lian offered, coaxing him as she knew rest was what Li Jun Wei needed the most now.

Li Jun Wei chuckled, as if knowing what she was thinking and said, "Okay. But I will take care of this for another minute," and Li Lian replied with a nod, seeing him walking away as he left to crouch in front of Mrs. Jin whose body flinched when he came closer.
