TFWYH – Chapter 309 Welcome Back

She wanted nothing more than to tear her to pieces and drink her blood.

Wei Ziyan, almost beaten to death by Madam Wei, was now filled with rage. She ground her teeth, shoved her mother aside, and screamed in complete hysteria:
“You still ask me why? I was just picked up by you, not truly your daughter! Before you were pregnant, you doted on me; after you were pregnant, you started ignoring me. The servants followed your attitude, adapting to the wind. And you still have the nerve to ask me why? Hahaha… That wretch—he hadn’t even been born yet and I was already about to lose favor. How could I have let you give birth to him?”

At this, Wei Ziyan whirled around and fixed her gaze on Tang Wan, gritting her teeth, her voice venomous:
“But I didn’t expect someone could save him. I was so close to succeeding, yet this wretch kept ruining my plans over and over, and even stole the one I loved most! It’s you, Tang Wan—you deserve to die, and I’ll kill you!”

Finally, Wei Ziyan drew the sword of a nearby officer and lunged at Tang Wan, her eyes filled with madness and obsession.

“Quick, someone save her!” Yi Zhanhong shouted in alarm.

Tang Wan was, after all, the adopted daughter of Consort Li—what if she got hurt or killed?

Damn it!
Why was he so unlucky?

Just as he was thinking this, Tang Wan lightly tilted her head, grabbed Wei Ziyan’s wrist, and with a single kick, sent her flying.

Clean.
Swift.
Beautiful.

Yi Zhanhong let out a long, relieved breath.

Tang Wan’s kick showed no mercy. She had used about thirty percent of her strength, and Wei Ziyan was sent flying, crashing into a pillar and coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Even so, she glared at Tang Wan with hatred so intense that, if her eyes could kill, Tang Wan would have died countless times.

Yi Zhanhong didn’t want to waste any more time on this insane woman and shouted angrily:
“Bring Wei Ziyan to the jail!”

The officers immediately rushed forward, grabbed Wei Ziyan, and dragged her away.

As for Tang Wan—of course, she was released without charge!

With the matter settled, Yi Zhanhong finally completed his task and hastily announced the court adjourned.

The crowd of villagers watched in awe and fear. They scorned the deranged Wei Ziyan and, by extension, looked down on Madam Wei as well.

Madam Wei slumped to the ground, dazed and dumbfounded, as if her soul had left her body, suddenly appearing ten years older.

Ling Yue ran over and hugged Tang Wan, crying:
“Sister-in-law, you scared us to death! Wuwu…”

Tang Wan patted her little head tenderly and held her wrist:
“Your fingers are injured, don’t move them recklessly!”

“I’m fine, just a small wound!” Ling Yue shook her head, then looked outside:
“Mother and the others must be worried sick—you see, everyone is here!”

Hearing this, Tang Wan looked up. She saw Jiang Shi, Ling Chen, Qian Shi, Ling Sheng…

Almost everyone she knew was outside, watching her with smiles.

Suddenly, Tang Wan’s eyes flickered, and she looked beyond them.

A fine horse galloped toward her. The rider wore a pale moon-colored robe, the sunlight glinting off him like a delicate veil. His handsome features seemed to gather all the elegance in the world. When their eyes met, a barely perceptible joy flickered in his gaze.

“Beloved husband!” Tang Wan froze for a moment, then let go of Ling Yue and ran outside, leaving Jiang Shi and the others completely behind.

Ling Yu dismounted smoothly, a faint smile tugging at his lips, arms open wide.

Tang Wan shot into his embrace like a small cannonball, beaming:
“Husband, welcome back!”

However…
