"Then why don't you convince him? These past few months, how many times have you actually persuaded him? We've been kind to him time and again, but he's out to destroy me completely. If it weren't for Brother Hechen blocking that attack for me, I might have been ruined by him, maybe even lost my life.

"Why can't I say that?" Weilan was no longer polite. "What do you want? Do you need all of us to be wiped out before you finally wake up? Lu Heyan is your son; it's your right and responsibility to care for him. But beyond that, what else do you expect us to say? We're not stopping you from caring for your youngest son, so what else do you want from us?"
"Weilan, I'm doing this for the good of you all and this family."
