Chapter 365 – Planning Going Inside The Second Houehold

Having hope for one daughter living a good life in the future, Li Rong was not satisfied.

She didn't drink medicine that night and hence didn't get better.

The naïve Li Qiang who didn't know that his wife never drank the medicinal soup was worried about his wife's health, especially when the next morning he touched her forehead and found that the fever was now higher than before.

Even the physician couldn't understand anything. 

"Rong'er, are you worried about something else? What else are you worried about?"

"Caihong and Chenchen…"

Li Qiang's face hardened just like the last night. Last night when Li Rong had tried to talk to him about Caihong and Li Chen, he had intentionally left the room.

However, now Li Qiang didn't want to leave like that. If he did, then Li Rong will continue to have this thing inside her mind and will not get better sooner or later.

"What are you thinking?"

He asked finally.

Li Rong was glad to see this.

"Qiang, Chenchen…did wrong but he wishes to become the next general. Don't you feel glad that your son wishes to take such a big responsibility on his shoulders?"

Li Qiang couldn't help but sigh on hearing these words for the umpteenth time.

"I would have felt glad if he had done this stupidity."

Li Rong's eyes brightened and she held Li Qiang's hand firmly.

"Qiang, what he did was stupid but you wondered why he did that?"

Without giving any chance to her husband to say anything, she continued

"Li Chen is younger than Li Diu. He must be afraid that would never even get a chance to compete for the position of the next general. So he did what he could do to gain it in his own way."

"Qiang…you were elder but you were still not given this position. Father gave it to Second Young Brother without even considering what shame and humiliation you will go through as an Elder Brother and now since Li Chen is younger than Li Diu who had already learned everything from Second Younger Brother. Until he will learn everything and will come to the right age, Li Diu would be more experienced than him. Hence, by the Elders of Li Clan, the next general will be chosen from the second household again."

Li Rong sighed sadly as she whispered to herself

"Now I have started to wonder for how much time our household will be the first household in this Clan. All these years, even though you were not the General, you were given all the respect from everyone in this clan because, in the end, you were the eldest of the three brothers. However, what will become of Li Chen. He is neither the eldest brother nor will he ever become the next general. After our death, have you ever wondered what will he do? He would be left with nothing because Second Younger Brother would never trust him again because of what he has done."

Looking into her silent husband's eyes, Li Rong said

"And I am sure that Second Brother will also tell this to Li Diu also …at least if he became the next general. My Chenchen….he will be a part of the Clan but at the same time, he will be seen as nothing but an extra here."

At her last words, Li Rong couldn't stop herself from shedding tears.

Those were her actual fears.         

At this moment, even Li Qiang was silently looking at Li Rong with a dazed expression on his face. He seemed to be staring at Li Rong but in reality, he was particularly looking at nothing. 

In his mind flashed all those scenes where he was being mocked and humiliated by others just because he didn't get the main position in Li Clan despite being the eldest.

A moment later, he gulped and then whispered in his deep voice. 

"Rong'er, We can't do anything now. It is Li Chen who had paved this path for himself. I could have helped him if only he had told me about his ambitions. I could have trained him better than Li Diu and even Li Heng would have been very supportive of him then. But now, we can't do anything."

"We can…"

Li Rong said immediately.

She suddenly tried to sit up on the bed and Li Qiang tried to stop her.

"What are you doing? You should rest."

However, Li Rong shook her head and pointed her eyes towards the door.

"Go and close the door. I need to talk to you about something."

Li Qiang frowned.

"What is the need of closing the door for that?"

Li Rong shook her head firmly and then took out a paper from her sleeve. 

"We can't read it like that. Go and Close the door, Qiang."

Li Qiang's eyes flickered when he saw the letter in his wife's hands. He suddenly seemed to remember something about this letter.

He wanted to ask many things but seeing the eager look on his wife's face, he silently stood up from the bed and then walked towards the door.

Standing at the door, he first looked outside to check if there was any servant or maid who might have been standing out and heard their words. After a few moments, he closed the doors unaware that what Li Rong feared had happened already.   

Hidden in the shadows, Xi Ying's shadow guard, An Su was looking coldly and sharply at the closed doors. A moment later, he jumped from there to the roof of the room. His foot didn't make even a single sound as he walked on the roof of Li Qiang and Li Rong's room. 

The sun still had not risen properly and it was still a little dark. An Su's figure on the roof could be seen clearly, however, the maids that were roaming in the courtyard never thought a person was walking on the roof so they never thought of looking up, and hence An Su was completely safe. 

He bent down and attached his ear against the cold tiles of the roof.

With the help of his sharp senses, he could hear almost everything Li Rong was telling to Li Qiang.
