Chapter 209 - Infighting Again (1/2)

Xu Jiayi’s face fell, and she didn’t explain. Instead, her voice became cold. “There were so many outstanding men that I could have married, but I didn’t. Instead, I came here to be your concubine. Do you think I’m that sort of woman?”

After thinking about it, Tu Xiang realized that she was right. She had suffered as a result of marrying him beneath her station.

“Clan Head, everything I said is true.” The servant was so anxious that his voice began to tremble, and he kept saying that everything he had said was true.

Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow at Xu Jiayi and curled her lips slightly. “Throw him out and sell him off somewhere.”

Xu Jiayi had an affair?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, someone sneaking into her room in the middle of the night was suspicious. Besides, Xu Jiayi wasn’t as simple as she seemed. Who was she, really?

Feng Tianlan decided that she had to investigate Xu Jiayi properly. She might reap some surprising rewards.

The servant who had been spared quickly kowtowed. “Thank you, Clan Head, thank you so much.”

Feng Tianlan looked at all the servants with their heads lowered. These people had very little choice but to follow the orders of whoever was in power. Many of them had been around since her mother was alive, and she could understand that they had been put in an awkward position after her mother’s death. But she wasn’t going to let off those who had deliberately betrayed her mother.

“I’m going to give you another chance. If you have something to say, spit it out fast. If you have nothing else to say, then we’ll continue with the beatings.” Feng Tianlan turned to instruct Feng Qingling, “Uncle, I will not allow any overlaps in their stories. If someone says something that isn’t true or plausible, cut their tongue off immediately.”

“Got it.” Feng Qingling straightened his back. This tactic was a bit cruel, but since these people were disloyal, it wasn’t necessary to show them any mercy.

Everyone looked at the one servant in the corner waiting to be sold, and the other servant, who’d already died from his beating. With such a stark contrast in front of them, they knew that their new clan head, Feng Tianlan, was a woman who meant what she said.

Their desire to live made them forget everything else and they started coming forward one after another to spill the beans about things that Tu Xiang and the others had done.
