Chapter 187 - A Warning (1/2)

Xiong Wuyue has purple marks on her face. There were a lot of scratches in her body. Some were red and it looked like it going to bleed. Xiong Wuyue's enemy was merciless. By the look of those injuries, it seems that the enemy targeted those places multiple times.

Linfeng couldn't believe that the only person that could be Xiong Wuyue's enemy was his aloof and sweet Young Miss.

A tug on his shirt caught his attention.

It was Xiong Zhi who had a disapproval expression on her face.

”You are staring too much.”

'Ugh.' Linfeng suddenly remembered that he was looking straight at XiongWuyue's exposed purple body.

”Linfeng...” Xiong Wuyue called out to him. Not wanting to lose on Xiong Zhi.

Linfeng felt a headache was coming in. Maybe he shouldn't have come here. Since it seems like his young miss would not going to lose he should have turned a blind eye and left.

'Ugh. This would be a headache.'

Two Xiong's got severely injured in Zhou Mansion.

This would really scare the elders.

But most importantly, how was he going to fix this problem?

******

It was late morning.

The elders decided to have late breakfast with the guests.

But they were too shocked to even sip on their coffee.

The two beautiful miss of yesterday became 'severely injured' in just one night.

Xiong Wuyue has a bandage over her head. There were also some patches on her cheeks too. And some more bandages on her body. If one looked closely, they were able to see some purple marks and nail marks on her skin that was exposed.

Xiong Zhi had bandages all over her body too. But not that severe like Xiong Wuyue.

The two girls were silently eating. They were a bit sleepy but they were also hungry. Throwing things at each other took a lot of their energy so they were quiet today.

The three elders finally, slowly looked at Linfeng.

Their eyes were all asking 'What the heck happened'.

Linfeng avoided their eyes and sipped on his tea. He was not there. He doesn't know what happened too. He would just play innocent and act like he did not see anything.

Let these two misses fix what trouble they have cooked up.

Yesterday night, he was trying to ask the two about what happened, but these two were just glaring at one another.

It was Xiong Zhi who said that she would explain tomorrow with the elders.

Xiong Wuyue just insisted that everything that happened was Xiong Zhi''s fault.

He managed to fix their wounds and transferred them to another guest room. That time, he give them one room each.

It was good that after their wound got cleaned, they went to sleep quickly. The two were tired.

But the most tired was Linfeng.

Linfeng's Grand-uncle could not hold it in and asked the two while looking at Linfeng.

”What happened?”

Xiong Wuyue raced to speak first.

”It happened suddenly. Young Miss suddenly attacked me while I was sleeping. I don't know if I offend the young miss. If I have offended you, young miss, please forgive me.” Xiong Wuyue started crying.

Xiong Zhi expected this. She swallowed the bread first in her mouth. Then she covered her face with her hands. Her sad voice that full of sorrow reached their ears.

”It's my fault. I often have nightmares. That's why I asked Linfeng to stay with me. Because only he knew of my situation.” The five people looked shocked at her.

Even the man that supposed to know her situation looked shocked as well.

He was shocked by the story that these two were brewing.

The three oldies looked at Linfeng. Their eyes were wide and seemed to be asking if he knew of this situation long ago.

Linfeng dazedly nod.

”Y-yeah. That's why I told you that young miss had trouble sleeping.”

The three oldies let out a shocked gasp.

That seems to be the case.

Their Young miss was truly pitiful.

However, Xiong Zhi was not yet done.

”I taught cousin knew of my situation. That''s why I was thankful to her that she wants to stay with me. But-” Xiong Zhi's voice shook.

She was thinking of what would be Xiong Wuyue's expression to the words she was about to say.

”But..when I realized that I was attacking her I stopped. But she pushed me back and beat me up even after I plead.” Xiong Zhi then peeked between fingers.

She could see the three oldies jaw dropped. Linfeng stared speechless at her. And lastly, Xiong Wuyu was pale with a horrified expression.

”That's a lie! You attacked me first!” Xiong Wuyue stand up and shouted.

This bitch shifted the story to her side!

Xiong Zhi put down her hands. This what she wanted. To made Xiong Wuyue lost control and made a fool of herself in front of these people.

Xiong Zhi's face was cold.

”I know I'm at fault. But I'm not aware of that time. How come you, a sane person attacked me instead? Is this what really the second branch felt towards the first branch?” Xiong Zhi made use of the story that Xiong Wuyue brewed.

”Being kind in front of us but hiding dagger at our backs? Now I know, what truly the second branch felt towards us,”

All the people in the table paled except Linfeng.

Linfeng looked at Xiong Zhi with deep thoughts.

Those words that Xiong Zhi enunciated carried a heavy meaning and consequences.
