For the time being, Luo Yunzhu’s actions could be set aside. Xu Jiayi swore that she would settle the score between with her in the future: Just wait until Feng Tianlan’s gone and the Luo family falls into other hands! Let’s wait and see who else Luo Yunzhu can rely on when that time comes.
Luo Yunzhu shook her palm and stuck her tongue out at Xu Jiayi in cheeky arrogance. It were as if she were taunting Xu Jiayi to come at her, if she had the guts.
Xu Jiayi inhaled long and deep as she tried to suppress the volcano of fury about to explode within her.
“You have insulted Yu’er time and again. I will never forget this.” Xu Jiayi helped up Feng Xiuyu, who was drenched in blood and trembling with fear. She glared at Feng Tianlan with eyes filled with hatred. “This time, no matter what it takes, I will drive you out of Feng Manor.”
And the Feng Family Treasure? She no longer cared. So long as she could expel Feng Tianlan from the manor, was there anything in the Feng Clan that couldn’t become hers?“Let’s wait and see.” Compared to Xu Jiayi, who was on the brink of bursting, Feng Tianlan was a lot calmer. She laughed lightly and scoffed, “Did you think that Feng Xiang, a man who married into his wife’s family, can make than final call? Do you think he will do it now?”
Feng Xiang was only a man who’d taken up residence in his wife’s family’s house and, therefore, had no right to expel her. Furthermore, there was something about her that he still needed. So long as she showed any intent of softening, he would give in for sure instead of expelling her.
“Get out.” Xu Jiayi bellowed as she pulled a long face. It was apparent that Feng Tianlan had stabbed her where it hurt. Feng Tianlan knew Feng Xiang all too well. This was something he would do.
“My mother built the Heavenly Phoenix Court for me, so this is my turf. You two are the ones who should get out.” Feng Tianlan took light steps and slowly walked toward Xu Jiayi, stopping right in front of her. She stared icily into her eyes. “Xu Jiayi, we’ll see who will be expelled first from Feng Manor.”
With the Feng Clan Seal securely in her hands, she would reclaim her rule over the Feng Clan!
Xu Jiayi could not help but shiver. An expression of horror crept into her face as she involuntarily fell back two steps. Despite Feng Tianlan’s mild tone and the fact that there was no hatred in her eyes, her chilling gaze and calm tone had drilled a sense of fear into her.
“If you’re not leaving this instant, then I’ll have to throw you out by force.” Feng Tianlan slightly smirked as she raised the whip in her hand. Pa! She flung the whip away, sending dust flying with a crack of the whip.The whip’s sudden crack shocked Xu Jiayi and Feng Xiuyu, who were both still knee-deep in fear. They quickly regained their bearings and fiercely glared at Feng Tianlan. “Just you wait. I will make your life hell from now on.”
Just as they were about to leave, they saw a fuming Feng Xiang rush over from afar. Feng Xiuyu quickly exclaimed in joy, “My husband.”
However, Feng Xiang, now blinded by anger, could only see Feng Tianlan. The instant he saw her, he began to berate her with the most meanness he could muster.
“Feng Tianlan, you are a jinx! An evil star! Not only did you bring death to your mother, but you have also brought death to so many within the Feng family. Now, you have even brought death to the men who have asked for your hand! You’re the reincarnation of an evil star. If I allow you to stay, how many people do you intend to bring misfortune to? What misdeeds have I committed in my past life to deserve a cursed daughter like you…”
Luo Yunzhu stared at Feng Xiang, her mouth agape. She could hardly comprehend Feng Xiang’s seemingly endless scolding without the need to pause or take a breath. Well, well, wasn’t his stance awfully similar to a shrewd wife scolding her husband on the street?
She turned to glance at Feng Tianlan, who simply stood up without being affected. She didn’t look like the one being scolded. Luo Yunzhu could not help but feel respect for Tianlan’s coolness.
However, for a father to lash out at his daughter in such a manner, it was still…
Well, she couldn’t say that it was surprising. After all, Feng Xiang had done much worse things. A furious scolding like this could be considered one of his lightest treatments.
Feng Tianlan waited for him to finish. Then, she picked out the crux at once. Reading between the lines of what he’d said, only a single possibility remained. “Is the Shizi dead?”
“This time, everyone at the Duke of Dingguo’s manor was killed.” Feng Xiang’s mouth had gone dry from all the scolding. He swept his surroundings and finally noticed that his wife and daughter were both present. One of them was even injured from head to toe. There was also the issue of the corpses splayed all over the ground. To his shock, even Butler Zhu was dead.
