Mrs. Wei stepped in to stop, leaving General Wei unable to hit Wei Chi any further.
With clenched teeth, he said, "Without my permission, don't even think about leaving. If the Wei Family is ruined by your hands, even death won't be enough to atone, and you'd have failed our ancestors!"
He suddenly threw down the whip.
General Wei turned and strode away.
His face was clouded with a powerful oppression that suffocated those around him, deterring anyone from approaching.
Mrs. Wei was caught in a dilemma but ultimately stayed by her son's side, ensuring the family doctor attended to his wounds.
Watching the mottled whip marks, tears fell down from her reddish eyes.
"Why are you so foolish? Just give in to your father, and everything will be fine."
Wei Chi tolerated gentleness but not force.
Seeing his mother cry, he felt uneasy.
He said morosely, "I'm fine, Mother. A few days, and I'll be healed. Anyway, the Emperor has confined me to quarters, I can't go anywhere."
