Chapter 76 Go Knocking Upon the Door (1/2)
Feng Jiu collected herself as she finished her practice and turned to look at the beautiful young girl standing on the steps. The more she looked at the girl, the more pleasing the young girl became to her eyes.
Leng Shuang snapped back to her senses and walked towards her Mistress. She lowered her head and said respectfully: ”Mistress, Young Master has not yet returned.”
”He went out so early in the morning and he still has not come back?” Feng Jiu asked, slightly puzzled. She then went on to ask further: ”Is the marriage between the Guan Family and the Ke Family happening in three days' time?”
”It is three days later.”
Leng Shuang answered and paused a moment before she continued to say: ”But when Young Master left, he said he wanted to go back a little earlier and does not wish for Mistress to go with him. He said he will handle this matter himself.”
Upon hearing that, Feng Jiu smiled. [He must have been worried that the situation might get highly awkward if she had gone with him. Moreover, in his heart, he still believed that the Guan Family wouldn't really treat him too cruelly and he still strongly believed that his clansmen would not give him the cold shoulder in the face of their self interests.]
[That might be a good thing. Letting him handle it on his own, he will finally realise that people, when faced with their self interests at stake, would be unhesitatingly cruel and merciless even towards their own clansmen.]
[Towards that clan that Guan Xi Lin belonged in, she did not like them a single bit.]
[Whereas for the Feng Family…..]
When she thought of all that she would find out about the Feng Family after she came to the Cloudy Moon City, her heart started to feel rather conflicted.
The people in the Feng Family truly loved and doted on Feng Qing Ge. But, they were completely unaware that the Feng Qing Ge they adored and treasured in the palms of their hands at that moment had actually killed their real daughter.
Leng Shuang looked at the mess of knife scars that crisscrossed over Feng Jiu's face and her eyes flashed involuntarily.
The multiple knife scars filled her Mistress' face in a mess of garish slash marks, the numerous scars completely hiding her original countenance, and what could be seen, were only those heart rending and garish looking scars.
