Chapter 416 - Feng Was On The Move (1/2)
If Yao Ling knew that Yao Ying felt more sure about his choice because of this matter too, she would certainly not know whether she should laugh or cry. Oh well... at least, she was the one who got the benefit in the end.
Yao Ling took a peek at Wang Luo Hai, wanting to ask whether they should do the next part of the plan now. After they planted the suspicion, it was easier to affect the others' minds at this time. Wang Luo Hai understood what she meant and gave a brief nod. Yao Ling noticed it and quickly kicked Yao Ying underneath the table gently as a signal. Yao Ying pretended to cough and drink the tea as a signal for Feng to do the next part as soon as possible.
His cough was quite loud because Feng was a bit far from where he was. It even made the matriarch surprised. The latter asked in concern, ”Are you alright?”
”I'm fine, Grandmother. I accidentally choked on something,” he answered with a smile. His face was slightly flushed due to the excess coughing that he had to do. Yao Ling really wanted to laugh out loud but held herself back, instead, she showed some concerns to him.
Their interaction looked so natural so no one felt something was suspicious of their behavior --- including Concubine Xi. The latter was too worried that the matriarch or Wang Luo Hai would find out about her deed, so her thoughts were elsewhere.
Feng was sitting on the roof the whole time while waiting for Yao Ying's signal for quite a long time. He started to feel bored when he finally heard the loud cough, he quickly prepared himself because he was going to do one of his little tricks once again. Because this plan was approved by Wang Luo Hai beforehand, Feng was being protected by Wang Luo Hai's shadow guards as well. They chased away irrelevant people with one way after another, thus, it was easier for him to do his job and he could do it openly from the outside.
He opened one of the rooftop tiles slowly so he wouldn't accidentally make a loud sound so no one under him noticed that something was amiss. He looked at the place where Concubine Xi was sitting and taking note of their distances. Feng could see that the woman was distracted and smirked to himself.
It was easier to do this at noon because of the light.
He slashed his own finger so that he could squeeze a few drops of blood --- he didn't dare to use too much blood just in case it fell on top another person, such as the matriarch, then he would become a lump of dead meat!
*Thud*
*Thud*
There was a faint sound of something dropping from up above --- only the three people knew about this and they were excited to see what would happen next. Once Feng felt that it was enough blood already and made sure that the blood landed at the right target, Feng quickly put back the tile and went out of there as soon as possible with his qing gong skill.
There was nothing amiss from the outside and no one would find Feng's presence...
At first, Concubine Xi didn't realize that there was something weird with herself. She was sweating pretty bad due to fear so she didn't notice the blood that was slowly trickling down from her hair to her face. Wang Luo Hai, Yao Ying, and Yao Ling noticed it but they didn't make any sound and continued eating at ease --- waiting for someone to tell concubine Xi about it.
They wanted to borrow another person's hands.
Concubine Wan was the one who saw the blood first. ”Argh!” She yelled loudly, after all, she was afraid of blood and honestly, Concubine Xi's face looked a bit scary. Her whole body was trembling while her finger was pointing at Concubine Xi but she couldn't say anything --- only saying incoherent words.
