Long Chapter for you, 3300 words
Wei Ying's throat filled with tears as Madam Yu grabbed him and Jiang Cheng roughly, dragging them to the docks, she gently placed Jiang Cheng inside before throwing him like a ragdoll. Wei Ying landed with a wince, still barely able to move as blood soaked through his clothing.
"A-Cheng," Madam Yu began, taking his hands, she checked his pulse and sighed in relief to find the would that Wen Zhuliu inflicted to be just a minor one.
Jiang Cheng looked up to her, "Mother, what should we do?" He asked as Wei Ying struggled to support himself on one trembling arm, clutching his wounded chest with the other.
Madam Yu was almost shaking, "What should we do? Don't you see they're prepared?" She huffed, "...The fight is inevitable today. Many soldiers will arrive soon, you must go!"
Madam Yu slapped him eliciting a cry, "Shut up!" She yelled, jaw shaking with anger, "This is all your fault!" She glared before turning back to Jiang Cheng.
At her words, Wei Ying lowered his head and could no longer hold back his tears, he was in so much pain, he felt so guilty and his chest was bound so tightly by the invisible chains... he couldn't breathe, he felt like was going to suffocate.
Madam Yu hugged Jiang Cheng tightly, allowing him to cry into her chest as he transferred the Zidian to him, "Mother, why did you give me the Zidian?" He asked, hiccuping.
Madam Yu's lip trembled, "It's yours now, the Zidian has accepted you as its master."
Wei Ying seriously couldn't breathe, watching the pain he caused, his chest was jolting up and down for air, beginning him to try, but he knew if he let his lungs go he would just start hyperventilating.
Jiang Cheng sobbed, "Mother, can't you come with us?" He asked, eyes glossy with tears as a single drop of blood trailed down his chin.
Wei Ying looked up hopefully, black dots covering his vision from lack of air, he watched as Madam Yu said goodbye to her son. He knew this pain all too well. The pain of losing a parent, of being abandoned, and to have inflicted it on someone else, he wanted to die.
...
Lan Wangji was gasping for air as looked at Wei Wuxian, "I-It was n-not your f-fault!" He cried through erratic breaths and sobs. Lan Wangji was so furious, "he was blamed for that? He blamed himself for years. He still does. He wanted to die at that moment. What the hell is wrong with you people? That is not his fault!"
Zewu-Jun was trying his best to meditate and breathe through this, but failed miserably and found himself too hyperventilating.
...
Madam Yu left the hug and Wei Ying thought that was the end of it, until she grabbed his robes and yanked his forward, further splitting his wounds, "You damn boy!" She screamed in his face, "I hate you so much!"
...
Madam Yu watching, sobbing and struggling to breathe, started to deeply regret. She had no idea how much pain she inflicted until now and it was crippling. Others were starting to notice that she finally broke. That cold hearted witch that hated Wei Wuxian, her heart was changing. They know those tears weren't just for her son... but for the pain she caused Wei Wuxian.
...
"Look at what you've done! Because of you, look at the disaster that has come to our clan!" She cried before throwing him roughly down and leaving despite Jiang Cheng's begs and pleads.
