The wind lasted for four days and counting. The people of the four great clans did not have much food on them, and they were already famished. Even Su Baifeng, a newcomer, was hungry.
When Su Baifeng went out, she would always bring her maidservant and followers. Food, shelter, and transportation were all handled by them, so she never brought food with her. Her maidservant did not carry much food with them. When she first came, Huangyi had already distributed all the food she had to the four great clans. Over the past few days, she had been eating the food her followers carried.
At the start, Su Baifeng despised the dry rations her subordinates had brought and asked for delicacies. But no matter how much she complained, nothing was there. In the end, she gave in to hunger and ate even the most disgusting dry rations.
Perhaps because of her empty stomach and heart filled with resentment, Su Baifeng’s temper had been very bad during the few days she had been living in Lian Fangcheng’s stone house. She often lost her cool, not only at her maidservant and followers but also at Lian Fangcheng.
“Didn’t you say that the wind outside will last for at most three days? The fourth day’s almost, but the wind hasn’t stopped yet. Lian Fangcheng, are you lying to me on purpose? Do you think I’ll develop feelings for you if we stay in the same room for a longer time? So what if you’re the Lian family’s Young Master? Compared to the Ninth Lord, you’re far inferior! I advise you not to daydream. Think of a way to get out and get me food.”
Lian Fangcheng had been suffering Su Baifeng’s anger these few days. The first two days were still alright. Su Baifeng was only angry at her entourage, but after that, she actually started scolding his people and even him. Her true nature was put on a perfect display.
It turned out that the goddess in his heart was like this.
The funny thing was that he had actually pursued her so fervently in the past. For her, he did not hesitate to turn down so many good marriages. He even caused a ruckus with the elders in his family and almost lost his position as the Young Master.
However, there were two sides to everything. Although he had suffered quite a bit, he had seen through Su Baifeng’s true colors. From now on, he would no longer do anything stupid for her.
“How would I know why the wind hasn’t stopped? Miss Su, please understand where you are. This is my territory. If I hadn’t reminded you out of kindness and taken you in, you would have been a dead person by now. In that case, I should be your savior, right? But how did you treat your savior?” Lian Fangcheng had been bottling up his emotions, but his tolerance had reached the limit. He could no longer control himself, and all the resentment and anger in his heart burst out.
This was the first time Su Baifeng had seen Lian Fangcheng so angry, startling her. For some reason, she saw disgust in his eyes.
Oh no, could it be that Lian Fangcheng hated her because of her inappropriate behavior recently?
She had indeed been a little angry and had not kept herself in check. Her true nature was exposed. Perhaps he was no longer interested in her after her facade was broken?
Who cares! She was not interested in him anyway.
But she was not in a good situation now. If she fought with Lian Fangcheng, it would not do her any good. She might even land into more trouble.
No matter what, she could not break all ties with him.
Su Baifeng tried her best to sort out her emotions and suppress the anger in her heart. She forced out a smile and was about to comfort Lian Fangcheng, but unexpectedly, someone shouted in the room.
“The wind has stopped. The wind has stopped.”
