Chapter 461
“Huh? Huh? Huh?” Da Xiong was unable to react.
Helian Wei Wei had already come to stop before Su Yan Mo, wearing a lazy grin of mischief, “Madam Su, do you like this gift I gave you?”
Su Yan Mo looked up with ferocious eyes filled with hatred. “It was you! All of this was your arrangement!”
Helian Wei Wei did not deny it, but the smile on her lips widened, radiating an unprecedented coolness. “Su Yan Mo, did you think that your wrongdoings could just be dismissed if no one found out? It was only a matter of time before karma hit. You and that b*stard took away the fortune of Helian family, moaned of the grievances you suffered unashamedly, destroyed my mother’s reputation and caused me to lose all of my martial Qi. Today, I want you to have a little taste of a mistress taking away your husband and make you suffer the feeling of your husband snatching away your family’s fortune!”
Su Yan Mo lifted her hand to grasp onto her front collar as if this was the only way that she would be able to catch her breath.
However, she was finally unable to resist the urge.
Just like that, a mouthful of blood was spat out!
Yet, Helian Wei Wei acted as though she had not even noticed this scene as she stood up straight and brushed off the non-existent dust on her clothes slowly.
Su Yan Mo’s deathly pale face arched backward as her fingers stretched forward, struggling momentarily before beating it against her chest while her lips turned black.
Helian Wei Wei knew that this was a symptom of her illness being triggered. Yet, even so, that was none of her business.
An eye for an eye.
Su Yan Mo should have paid for her crimes long ago!
“Guang, Guang…” She seemed intent on calling the name of Helian Guang Yao.
However, how could Helian Guang Yao bear to spare a glance at her when the only thing he wished to do was gently carry Lan Lian in his arms to prevent her from hurting Lan Lian? She was his precious sweetheart.
Su Yan Mo looked at the disgust on his face and the only hope she had left was gone. Her empty eyes looked up at the misty sky.
It was too similar. It was practically the same scenario many years ago.
Once upon a time, it had been her lying in his embrace.
Now, someone else lay there…
At this thought, Su Yan Mo’s last breath stopped in her throat, and she could no longer utter a single word. Like someone who was on the brink of drowning, she huddled up in pain and finally stopped breathing.
Seeing the condition of Su Yan Mo, Helian Guang Yao inevitably felt panicked, further increasing his will to escape. He said to Lan Lian chaotically, “She died of her own anger, it had nothing to do with anyone else. Lian Er, come, let us leave!”
“Leave?” Lan Lian did not speak. Instead, Helian Wei Wei erupted into laughter from behind him as she said, “Before you leave, you’d have to at least make sure that the person you want to bring along is willing to leave with you.”
What does that mean?!
Suddenly, Helian Guang Yao looked back. After the many blows that struck him today, his eyes had turned bloodshot.
Lan Lian, who had initially been lying obediently in his arms pushed him away coldly before standing up and walking toward Helian Wei Wei.
Watching the scene unfold, Helian Guang Yao’s face blanched. He even found it hard to speak, “Lan Lian, you…”
“My contact with you was all arranged by His Highness. Otherwise, do you think I would have ever been interested in you based on your age and behavior?” Lan Lian smiled mirthlessly. “Abandoning your wife and children…you’re worse than an animal!”
The muscles on Helian Guang Yao’s face twitched in anger. “I thought I treated you well, how could you view me like this!”
“That’s why I said that you’re a b*stard.” Helian Wei Wei smiled gently as she leaned her arm on Lan Lian’s shoulder and spoke sharply, “Since my mother, you’ve never felt that it was good enough although our family treated you well and you have even bitten the hand that fed you. Yet, toward outsiders that could not be bothered about you, you pleaded for their attention like a slut. I heard that you practically begged for Lan Lian’s attention in the first place. I’m not surprised, it really fits your lowly attitude. If you weren’t like that, all of our plans would have been difficult to implement.”
Helian Guang Yao could only feel buzzing in his brain, causing him to have the urge to choke Helian Wei Wei on the spot.
However, he knew that he would only be embarrassing himself now no matter what he did.
He had not forgotten the number of people present!
If he continued staying here, he would probably become the joke of the Capital.
He had not lost yet, at least he still had the Su family!
That was right, he still had the Su family!
Helian Guang Yao calmed his feeling of frustration as he strode out of the hall of the Clan Meeting.
Seeing Helian Guang Yao’s escaping figure, the corners of Helian Wei Wei’s mouth slowly quirked up into a smile.
Lan Lian did not understand, and said softly, “Why didn’t you just kill him, Princess Consort?”
“Don’t forget, there’s still Prime Minister Su in the Su Family.” Helian Wei Wei smiled, “I don’t have evidence of the things that Prime Minister Su did at the time. Anyway, I’d just be creating more trouble for His Highness if I were to kill him. But now that Helian Guang Yao’s got his eyes set on the Su Family right after he frustrated Su Yan Mo to death, do you think that Prime Minister Su will let him off the hook?”
Da Xiong thought to himself. Well, was it not Young Master that has caused Su Yan Mo’s death…
Helian Wei Wei ignored this innocent and direct gaze. She let out a cough before continuing, “Helian Guang Yao underestimated that old fox, Prime Minister Su too much. He won’t be as successful as he thought he would when he gets back. Ah, this internal fighting, there’ll always be someone who ends up dead.” As she said this, Helian Wei Wei turned her face to speak softly with the people behind her, “Go and send General Guang Yao off on his journey, and relay the news of Su Yan Mo dying to Prime Minister Su, so that he knows what a good son-in-law he has.”
Lan Lian was filled with mixed feelings as she heard Helian Wei Wei’s orders.
It was only today that she finally witnessed this person’s capabilities.
Even in comparison to His Highness, she did not lose out.
It would have been too easy for someone like her to dispose of her at the time.
However, she had allowed her to stay.
Lan Lian was shocked, and when she looked toward Helian Wei Wei again, there was something in her eyes that had not been there before.
If there was anyone she would ever be willing to bow her head in submission, it would be her…
After 15 minutes, when the news of Su Yan Mo’s death reached the ears of Prime Minister Su, he nearly fainted. He had already been frail from the earlier episode of him kneeling in the rain outside the Palace overnight. Thus, once the news struck him, his aged hand could hardly hold the teacup. In addition to those terrible things Helian Guang Yao had done, he could only feel as if he had invited danger into his home. As a chill spread across his head, he swept all of the medicinal appliances on the wooden table off, making them crash to the ground!
Amidst the chaos, the butler held onto him, and shouted, “Call the doctor! Hurry Up! Old Master! Nothing must happen to you, Old Master!”
At this moment, inside the internal compound of the imperial palace, Baili Jia Jue who had already finished looking through the memorials was unbuttoning his clothing with one hand as he listened to his subordinate’s report. His mouth quirked up in a ghost of a smile…
