Adulterous Affair (2)

"Let's start the trap. The mouse has already been caught." Liu Gang said. Liu Gang and Peng Lim decided to take action with Consort Wan and Minister Nie. "Lim, bring the soldiers and officials." Peng Lim bowed as he called for them. Going over to Xue Manor, he met with Duke Xue Cheng.

"What brings General Liu here today?" Looking at each other, Liu Gang's men dropped a spy of Consort Wan Bao as they looked at him. He was beaten up as he looked afraid.

"Tell him." Liu Gang took out his sword to his throat shivering and looking at Duke Xue Cheng.

"Your Consort W-Wan a-and M-Minister Nie are having an affair! S-She tried to kill Consort Ling years ago with your son she had. S-She has also ordered everyone to kill Miss Liang." The spy said. Duke Xue Cheng's face changed to look deadly as he grabbed a sword and sliced the man's throat.

"Men! Find Consort Wan! Her punishment is death!" Taking his men, Consort Wan Bao had gone out secretly without his permission. They went to Minister Nie Bo's Manor as they then opened the entrance entering his bedroom allowing them to find Consort Wan Bao and him together.

"Husband!" Consort Wan Bao was frightened with the officials taking her by the hands along with Minister Nie Bo. "Husband!"

"Don't call me Husband you unfaithful slut!!! No wonder our daughter is a slut!!!" Duke Xue Cheng then angrily said as Minister Nie Bo laughed.

"That daughter is yours, but that son is mines." Consort Wan Bao was afraid now that it was revealed.

"Don't kill my son! He is innocent!" She yelled wanting to still take her son for granted and hoping he could keep herself alive.

"Men! Find their son! Bring him to me!" Both Consort Wan Bao and Minister Nie Bo were taken away as everyone was in search of Xue Yahui. Everyone was searching as they found him but he was with something they've never seen before.

"Little tiger." Liu Gang said lowly as he was shocked. She was licking Xue Yahui lightly while he was asleep in front of her paws. She stood up growling to them lightly and observing their every move.

Xue Liang knew they were going to kill him since her father was angered.

Xue Liang stayed with him at the beginning when he was crying knowing that Duke Xue Cheng was not his real father. At such a young age he knew but he pretended not to know. Xue Liang heard the men and soldiers as she saw her parents along with Liu Gang there. She growled looking at them all, getting up as he was still asleep.

She stood over Xue Yahui growling and looking at all of the people who wanted to hurt him.

"Yahui!" Duke Xue Cheng looked at him but not with anger or signs to kill him but he wanted to protect him instead. Duke Xue Cheng then called his men as they took out their swords.

Xue Yahui got up, Xue Liang looked at him rubbing against his small chest. "Father! Don't hurt her! Please! She's my best friend and I want to protect her!" Xue Yahui stood in front of her as she rubbed her head against his back after.

"Yahui, come here! Father is worried about you!" He was in tears as Xue Yahui ran to him as he hugged him.

"Father, I thought you hate me! I'm not your child! I was going to die in the forest but this tiger came to me and she kept comforting me. I know father must hate me cause I'm not his child." Xue Yahui cried with Xue Li going up to him.

"Yahui! You are my brother no matter what! It doesn't matter if it's by blood or not your still my brother!!!!" Xue Yahui started crying more as he went to hug Xue Li who patted Xue Yahui's back. Duke Xue Cheng then looked to his men.

"None of you are to hurt my sons! This tiger cannot be harmed either! It is a hero to this family! Yahui, you are still my son that I raised. Don't carry such a heavy burden by yourself." Xue Yahui saw Duke Xue Cheng as his father as he hugged him.

Xue Liang stood tall as her mother and brother knew who she was. Xue Liang went into the forest as she walked in. "Pretty Tiger! Will I see you again!?" Xue Yahui yelled as he was still sniffling going up to her with no fear. Xue Liang smiled in her head lightly licking his cheek. Walking off, she soon disappeared as the only thing they heard was her roar that echoed in the forest.
