Yunmeng Clan

 

It was night time……..

 

Yu Furen stood by the window in her room “she was thinking about the coming crisis”.

 

” She was worried about the future of her three children”.

 

“It is a different matter that she never expressed it to Wuxian but she loved him as much as Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli”.

 

Wuxian was mischievous since childhood He used to create trouble in yunmeng everyday and madam yu used to scold him a lot.

 

Knock…….knock……

 

She was lost in her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door .

 

“Come in Wuxian”

Wuxian came in with his head down, his eyes fixed on his feet.

“Both remained silent for some time”.

Yu Furen broke the silence and said :-
“what happened, why have you come here”.

Wuxian looked at her and said, “I don’t want to marry with the Lan emperor.”

“You have sent your reply to the Emperor, and I know it too”:- Yu Furen said.

They both fell silent again.

“WuXian come here and sit here”, ‘She said pointing to the table’.

‘She saw that his eyes were red, maybe he had been crying for a long time’.

“She hugged wuxian and said lovingly”:- ‘sometimes situations are not in our control A-Xian.

“It’s not your fault what happened so stop thinking about it”, ‘now she said caressing wuxian’s cheek ‘.

“So you are not angry with me”:- Wuxian asked in surprise.

” No i’m not angry with you”.

” Now go to sleep, Everything will be alright and don’t cry anymore”.

Wuxian nodded and went to his room.

” Although he was still upset but his uncle and madam Yu were with him in this decision”.

Now he just started waiting for morning, he wanted to meet his “lover” as soon as possible and wanted to tell him about all these things.

Cloud Recesses

After somedays, Lan Qiren reached Gusu where Wangji had been waiting for him to tell him the good news.

But without sparing a look at Lan Wangji he moved to his own house and the emperor followed.

“Uncle what happened? Why’re you angry?”

” Angry? Wangji I thought you chose an omega who could take responsibility of royal consort .

But you know what he did, the gifts I prepared for him, I wrapped them myself lovingly that it’s going to be your wife that is persued by you.

“He rejected them all , and throw them away. See. ” He said and pointed towards the trays in the servants hand.

“This is my insult. Killing of my hope and love”.

That arrogant omega, he has no care for anything, he’s selfish and arrogant. He hurt my pride and self respect today. Nobody dared to do that before.”

Lan Wangji listened everything and get agitated, no one can ever insult his shufu, who he respected so much just like his parent.

The man saved him by endangering his own life taking an arrow on his chest that was aimed for him. He apologized from his uncle and left his house.

He called his General who immediately presented and bowed.

“Prepare an army, We’ll attack Yunmeng. That Omega needs a lesson.”

And General Nie was taken aback, he looked at emperor baffled.

The emperor looked up ” What? Is your friendship with Jiang Fengmian coming between your duty to Royal family?”

And the general bowed again “forgive me, your highness, for a second , I admit I felt like that.”

Lan Wangji look at General Nie with cold and stoic expression ” Are you sure you’re not going to lose yourself in the battle?”

” I assure you emperor, this general’s loyality lies with Lans only. No other.” He bowed and left to arrange.

Lan Wangji gritted his teeth and clenched his fists ” Wei Wuxian you dare to insult me and my uncle. Now you’ll be the one begging for my mercy, begging for me to take you to Gusu”.

Yunmeng clan :-

In the early morning

Wei Wuxian visited Huang Xu who immediately cupped his cheeks :- “Wuxian, what is it? Love, why’re you crying?”

” A-Xu, I’ve put my clan in great danger. I’m so worried. What have I done.” He told him everything and Huang Xu’s eyes widen ” you rejected the emperor and threw away his gifts.

Wei Wuxian nodded and Huang Xu just clutched his hand ” everything will be okay.”

” No,A-Xu. Let’s run away. This way my clan will say that I’m a betrayer and has been outcasted. We will live together happily. Marry me.”

And Huang Xu chuckled ” are you proposing me?”

Wei Wuxian smiled and nodded. Huang Xu promised him ” okay! We’ll ran away but I’ve to arrange a few things, in a week i promise I’ll take you away.”

Wei Wuxian went happy and side hugged his lover and went back to Lotus pier.

In Yunmeng

Jiang’s are pacing back and forth in worry of what might the emperor do.

Nobody got to sleep peacefully as a spy inform them about a big army retreating from Qishan and Qinghe, it’s preceding in the direction of Yunmeng.

On the other hand, Wei Wuxian was planning to run away with his lover, Huang Xu.

A week later, Yunmeng gets attacked, the Lan army was huge and Yunmeng was no match for it.

even when they actually fought half of the army with tricks and mind games. Still, the lans outpasses them.

Inside the Lotus pier palace, everyone was on high alert.

” Most scared was the omegas of clan”,

as it is common for a winning army to capture the omegas (married or unmarried, male or female) of losing clan treating them as slaves.

Not just for serving as servant but as a sex slave. Those who resist are brutally raped and tormented till they dies miserably.

Those who complies are taken as concubines by the soldiers and “those who get lucky (or unlucky depends on the person’s thinking) are taken as a warprize by the emperor himself”.

Yu Furen looks at wuxian angrily and said ” Wen Ning, take away Yanli, A-cheng, A -xian and your sister out of the town from the backdoor. I’ve prepared a boat for all of you .

“No we’re not going anywhere” Jiang Cheng and wei wuxian protested .

“Can’t you just listen to me even for once” yu furen said furiously.

“No, all this has happened because of me, I will not leave everyone in such trouble”.

Yu Furen looked angrily at wei wuxian and said:- ” then go , talk to the emperor, beg him for mercy and say that we want peace”.

Wei wuxian bowed his head and said:- “I will definitely go.”

“Yinzhu, jinzhu, inform the emperor that we want to settle with him, we requests peace.”

The servants bows and went away to the emperor.
