Chapter 9 (2/2)

“How could I know.” She leaned against the carriage once more. “If you want to kill people to erase witnesses, you must be clean and efficient. You must also make sure that you haven’t been found out before you make your move. The formidable Feng manor does not lack in experts. Their mistake was excessively underestimating the three of us, mother and children.” While speaking, she laughed self-mockingly. “Speaking of which, it really is laughable. Even for my death, that so-called father is unwilling to bestow upon me a better opponent.”

“You….” The driver’s face was thoroughly ferocious. Although his cover had been blown and target alerted, but he continued to believe that there was no way a 12 year old, little girl could bring out any devious tricks. Without any doubt, she was just bluffing. It was really causing him to get frustrated. In the worst case scenario, he could just off the entire carriage of people, and it wouldn’t be too big of a deal.

He was raised as Feng family’s guard. Upon arriving, he received left prime minister Feng Jin Yuan’s dark will. Yao shi along with her children absolutely could not be allowed to return to the capital. Kill them off on the way back.

With regards to the marriage contract with the ninth prince, it was granted by the Imperial family for the eldest daughter of the first wife. Currently, that title belonged to the eldest miss Feng Chen Yu. Yao shi was removed from her position for this reason.

The driver coldly laughed. There was no reason to remain hidden any longer. He just remained a little curious as to why a little girl would be so clearly bold. “When did you figure it out?” He began to ask, yet he already held a dagger in his hand. As soon as he heard Feng Yu Heng’s answer, he would attack.

Feng Yu Heng also laughed coldly, but it sounds dark and somber.

“If you treated Xu shi a little less roughly, I might not have become suspicious.”

“Just that?”

“Not just.” She pointed at his hands, “Your right hand has thick callouses. It’s clear that you are someone who is proficient with weapon. If you were a driver, the callus would be on your index finger.”

Having said those words, Feng Yu Heng did not wait for the driver to act. Instead, she took the initiative. She had already retrieved a palm-sized tranquilizer gun from her storage space. She had kept it hidden in her sleeve.

The driver felt out of sorts from the unexpected attack. Feng Yu Heng swiftly leapt up and, without aiming, swung for his neck. The tip caught his neck and blood sprayed on to her sleeve and the carriage curtain causing those inside to scream.

Feng Yu Heng gripped the reins and kicked the driver’s body off the carriage. Then, with a loud “Hya!” the carriage turned around and headed for the capital.

This entire journey, the four had been running for their lives. Now they were running to the capital.

Now, Feng Yu Heng was very much looking forward to seeing the Lord of the Feng manor. She really wanted to see this vicious father. What exactly did this horrible person look like.
