The old housekeeper’s face stiffened. He knew that General would definitely settle the scores with them.
“General, I didn’t know Feng Ruqing was the young lady. Feng Lianyi was a member of General Manor. I was afraid people would look down on General Manor, so…” He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead; his voice trembled.
Tian Ya sneered. “Now people have lost respect for General Manor. It’s all because of you. Get out of here immediately! If you can’t find Feng Lianyi, don’t ever wish to come back, and the same goes for you!”
He turned his head and glared at Feng Lianqing.
Feng Lianqing was too scared to say anything, only hoping to leave this place.
Somehow, seeing Feng Lianqing’s miserable looks, Helian Yue could not help but smile happily.
‘Who asked this bastard to hold Feng Lianyi’s back. Now he’s being punished, right?
‘You deserve it!’
Feng Lianqing also saw the flicker of pride in Helian Yue’s eyes. He was a bit dumbfounded. Back then, whenever his master was scolding him, Helian Yue would always come and protect him.
This time…
He felt that he no longer had a place in Helian Yue’s heart.
Not as much as in the past…
***
Outside of Wu Shang City.
The woman dressed in blue stopped and threw Feng Lianyi, who was already half-dead, onto the ground. Her face was cold and expressionlessly. “Feng Lianyi, I just left Wu Shang City for a few days, but you’ve given me so many troubles, and I have almost exposed myself in front of Tian Ya.”
The wind lifted her veil, revealing that delicate face. Her gaze was fierce.
As soon as Feng Lianyi left General Manor, she felt her mind was in a mess, and she had almost fainted from the pain.
If it were not for the bumpy journey, she would have been unconscious long ago.
Seeing that Feng Lianyi was in pain and unable to speak, the woman reached out and pulled out a piece of spirit herb from her lapel and shoved it into Feng Lianyi’s mouth.
“Eat it.”
Feng Lianyi swallowed the pills with a grunt, and the pain started to ease quite a bit. However, her broken arm was still hurting.
“I… I didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, I didn’t expose you, right?” Feng Lianyi’s voice was a little weak, drifting away with the breeze.
The woman sneered. “If I hadn’t appeared in time, who could’ve guaranteed that you would not confess before you died.”
Her rescue was so smooth that she could not even believe it herself.
There was also a hint of hidden uneasiness in her heart…
Feng Lianyi pursed her lips. ‘This woman doesn’t trust me at all.’
Since Tian Ya was so protective of Feng Ruqing, then why should she expose her?
Tian Ya would still kill her either way.
“I didn’t expose you because now, I want to destroy General Manor, too!” Feng Lianyi raised her eyes; the depths of those eyes were filled with resentment and anger.
The woman laughed sarcastically. “Unfortunately, you’re no longer useful to me. I’ll spare your life as you’re quite obedient, but your stupidity will eventually get you into trouble.”
She had warned Feng Lianyi more than once to stay away from Feng Ruqing, but Feng Lianyi had ignored her warnings and caused many troubles!
