Chapter 436 - Together In Death
The Lin family didn't stay for long, after Luo Xin's head was chopped off they turned around to return to Su Wan while Lord Fei stood behind for a while.
He looked down at the dismembered head of Luo Xin and then turned his gaze at Luo Dongming.
Although he knew that Luo Dongming was an honest official who hardly ever dealt with corrupt officials. He still thought that he should give him a small warning just in case the Luo family decided to go ornery.
"Dongming, you need to remember what your sister did was no small crime. If she was complained against in the Yamen, she would have suffered the same fate. So in case you ever think about going after them-"
"I won't Lord Fei don't worry." Luo Dongming didn't turn around to look at Lord Fei but the sincerity in his voice was enough to let Lord Fei know that Luo Dongming wasn't bluffing his way through this. "I swear in the name of the Luo Family that I will never touch that family. They were a victim to my sister's tyranny, I will definitely not pursue this matter but can you promise me something?"
"What is it?" asked Lord Fei though he knew what it was.
"The Fu family please make sure that they will never be able to rise back on their feet."
"Don't worry they will pay the price for what they have done?" said Lord Fei with a frown he added further. "But don't think I am doing this for you. The Fu family will be punished for their treachery, not for the sins they committed towards your family. "
Luo Dongming sighed looking over his shoulder he gave Lord Fei a weary smile. "As long as they are dead. I really don't care the cause of how they died."
Lord Fei looked at him for quite some time but then he nodded and walked away with the help of Wu Dei.
Luo Dongming watched him go and once he was certain he dropped to his knees and cradled Luo Xin's head in his lap. "What did he do to you? What did he do to you?" He softly caressed Luo Xin's face even though it was bloody with a look of horror on her face.
Luo Dongming caressed her face like she was still the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Master why didn't you tell, Lord Fei the truth?" Said his aide. "You could have always told Lord Fei that the old master of the Fu family fed Lady Luo poison until she turned crazy like this -"
"Evidence speaks louder than anything, I have no evidence for her innocence but they had the evidence to her crimes. There is nothing I can do and this was the best outcome for her."
"But you could have at least told the lady that you didn't kill Li Nanli! Why let her blame you even in death -"
"The reality she believes in is the only truth." said Luo Dongming casting a stern expression. "Let her believe whatever she wants. After all I am indeed her sinner."
Years ago, the Old Master of the Fu family had found the evidence of his father's corruption and threatened the Luo family to let him marry Luo Xin.
It would have been nice if he did that because he wanted to genuinely marry Luo Xin but the truth was that he only wanted to gain a firm foothold in his family by marrying Luo Xin so that he could marry that second concubine of his.
He forcefully married Luo Xin drove her crazy than gave all the control of his family to the second concubine… if it wasn't for his own desires how can a man turn a blind eye to his wife's affairs?
Luo Xin believed that it was the Luo family who killed Li Nanli because she saw him here … he indeed came here not to kill but to save Li Nanli who would have thought that the Old Master Fu's schemes would run so deep that the second he arrived to save Li Nanli.
Luo Xin came just in time to see him die in front of her- even that Young Master Fu was a bastard of that second concubine. His sister hated the Old Master Fu how can she give birth to an heir for him?
It was all to get the Luo family's support for that bastard ….. for years he has worked to get rid of the corruption that his father committed for years he let his beloved sister hate him for years he hid in the dark and pushed Fu Bufan on the path that he was on now. "Finally its over." cradling Luo Xin's head he stood up.
"Didn't that Old Man work so hard for his beloved and the Fu family? Then this will be my last gift to him.. even if my sister will be going to hell, I will send his entire family to accompany her!"
"Bury her next to Li Nanli, let them be together at least in death."
——
What happened with Luo Dongming wasn't the concern of the Lin brothers. They all went down the mountain and huddled around Su Wan who was sleeping in the carriage because she had lost a lot of blood her complexion was pale.
If not for the rise and fall of her chest one would have thought that she was already -
Anyway the Lin brothers were all rather scared and immediately drove to the medicine hall where Doctor Gu worked.
The one driving the carriage was Lin Chen thus the carriage that should have been driving on the ground was actually flying!
Even Shen Junxi who lost his usual composure after watching Su Wan's condition didn't stop him. The carriage tossed and turned yet no one complained even Fang Zimo who simply clamped a hand on his mouth and stopped himself from hurling his dinner from last night.
When Doctor Gu saw Su Wan his eyes popped out of their sockets, but he didn't ask any questions instead he first palpated Su Wan's pulse.
Although he was really astonished at the ability to get hurt with the members of the Lin family … this required a through checkup!
Just a few days ago he raised one from the dead why did another one fall? What kind of life are they actually living?
