Chapter 162 Settle it with Fists (1/2)
”That's not the same.” His eyes held deep emotions as he gazed straight at her. ”That was because she was Su Ruo Yun and not you.”
”Pfft!”
She burst out with a stifled laugh in scorn, her lips curling up in a sneer. ”Which man doesn't like beautiful women? Don't tell me that you were not mesmerized when you saw me back at the Plum Blossom Forest? Were you not surprised and delighted when you saw me in the streets then? If men's words are believable, pigs will then find trees climbable.”
”Qing Ge…..”
Feng Jiu took a sip from her tea and stood up, to come right before Murong Yi Xuan. ”I am definitely going to break off the engagement and I am not here to discuss it with you but am merely informing you about it, so that you can at least be prepared.” Immediately after her voice fell, she called out: ”House Steward, see the guest out!”
The steward outside came in and said to Murong Yi Xuan: ”Your Highness, this way please.”

Feng Jiu shook her head, sighing in her heart. [A pity, that Feng Qing Ge that loves you is dead. However much you do, it will be of no use…..]

”Qing Ge, I heard that Yi Xuan came. How did the chat with him go?” Feng Xiao asked with concern. Seeing that badly disfigured face on his daughter, his heart wrenched up with bitter pain.
[His daughter, and her face destroyed like this…..]
[That was all due to his failure as a father who did not protect her well, causing her to go through so much suffering.]
”He's left. Grandfather, find a good time to go talk to the ruler about it and have the betrothal annulled.” Feng Jiu said as she came to the table and sat down, and then turned to Feng Xiao. ”Father, is your body still feeling unwell in anyway?”
