Si Rong saw that Feng Xiang’s face was very serious, so he handed Feng Xiuyu over to Xu Jiayi and followed Feng Xiang into a corner. His eyes grew wide with every word.
“Mother…” Feng Xiuyu couldn’t stop crying and stomped her feet harder and harder.
Xu Jiayi looked over at the two men talking in the corner, then patted Feng Xiuyu’s hand gently. She comforted her daughter, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer any hardship. But you have to check your temper.”
She would never allow Feng Tianlan to live to see her daughter suffer, even at the expense of that token! Feng Tianlan on the other hand, smiled as she realized this was turning out even better than she’d expected. Luo Yunzhu didn’t understand what was happening, but she gave Feng Tianlan her full support and did not question her.
After a while, Feng Xiang and Si Rong walked back. Si Rong looked at Feng Tianlan excitedly as he said, “I will agree to take Yu’er to be my concubine, but you must not touch her once she enters the palace.”
That treasure will not just make me the emperor, but it will enable me to rise in power above all the other nations. This has been the wish of every emperor throughout history, Si Rong thought. He was willing to agree to anything to attain this goal. Besides, this condition wasn’t a big deal.
Si Rong looked at Feng Tianlan, who was dressed entirely in white. Her clothes flew in the wind, elongating her silhouette. She looked just like a snow lotus blooming on the face of a snowy mountain, icy cold, and bright white. Even that long scar on her face did not affect her aura. Her phoenix eyes stared down at them, like she was looking at ants. Feng Tianlan didn’t seem like how she was before. In fact, she appeared more domineering now.
“Big Brother Rong!” Feng Xiuyu caught Si Rong being mesmerized by Feng Tianlan. She started stomping her feet and shouting at him. She glared angrily at Feng Tianlan, thinking to herself that Feng Tianlan was really shameless for trying to seduce her Big Brother Rong with that disfigured face of hers.
On top of that, Si Rong had said that he would take her as a concubine, which made Feng Xiuyu scream even more uncontrollably. How could he do this to her? How could he!
Si Rong snapped out of his daze then stared straight into those phoenix eyes that were slanting toward him. He started to despise her in his heart. He gently consoled Feng Xiuyu, “Yu’er, trust me. I won’t let you suffer.”
“Big Brother Rong.” She realized he wasn’t changing his mind, so she trembled and turned to Xu Jiayi, shouting, “Mother!”
“The bigger picture is more important.” Xu Jiayi could only say this. It was better to just go along with it for now. She would find other ways to fix this later.
Feng Xiuyu started screaming again, “Feng Tianlan, I’m going to kill you! I’m going to KILL YOU!!”
Feng Tianlan looked over at Feng Xiang and said, “My life won’t be in danger before your birthday celebration, right?”
“No, I guarantee your safety,” Feng Xiang promised. But of course, once he had the token, nothing was guaranteed.
Feng Tianlan smiled and said, “My little sister, you can’t kill me.”
“Feng Tianlan, don’t be too happy now. Soon, I will become Big Brother Rong’s wife. Also, my sister is coming back, and my cinnabar field will be restored. Once I regain my skills, I’ll make sure you don’t live to see another day.” Feng Xiuyu saw that Feng Tianlan was pleased to be in control of the situation and tried to agitate her with these words.
“Sure, I don’t mind letting you run around naked one more time.” Feng Tianlan treated Feng Xiuyu’s shouts like a dog was barking.
Feng Xiuyu’s face twisted in anger at her response. “You sl*t! One day, I will get you for this! I’ll kill you!”
Killing her would be letting her off too easily, she thought. Only making Feng Tianlan’s life a living hell could dispel her anger.
Si Rong furrowed his brow when thought of how Feng Xiuyu had been stripped of her clothes in front of all those people. He felt the humiliation increasing, bursting out from his heart.
