Chapter 12 (1/2)

Seeing Feng Yu Heng look at her, the old woman’s face became distorted with disgust. At the very least, she remained tolerant and pointed towards Feng Yu Heng, saying: “Your father and I were thinking of the affection we originally had towards you. We were also thinking about you children. That is why we sent people to bring you back to the manor. Since you have returned, you must understand gratitude.”

“Yes.” Feng Yu Heng nodded. Her face remained stoic, as she opened her mouth once more. The sound of her voice was without misery nor feeling. “It is well known to all that father is the most loving and righteous person.”

These words made Feng Jin Yuan to swell with pride, but he maintained his calm demeanor and nodded. Who knew Feng Yu Heng would add to this: “Indeed, if it were not for father considering the money concubine-mother Chen’s family had spent to aid with the imperial exam, how could father have given the family’s seat of official wife to concubine-mother Chen. This shows that father is not an ungrateful person. Having good morals is invaluable.”

“Paf!”

Hearing these words, Chen shi could not sit still. She immediately threw a small teacup along with the hot water inside. It burst like a blooming flower in front of Feng Yu Heng.

Feng Yu Heng protected her mother and brother and stood up and turned her eyes toward the bear that threw the teacup.

Originally, she was a woman with a bad personality, but when she saw her being so bold and assured, her anger swiftly boiled over. “You lowly, uncultured girl!” Chen shi angrily walked a few steps, looking like she was about to slap her.

Feng Yu Heng also did not dodge. Instead she lowered her head and stared at her ever advancing steps. Her eyes saw one of Chen shi’s feet step in the spilled tea, while the other stepped on some porcelain fragments.

She fell back, pulling on her mother and little brother. They pulled back a little bit, then heard a thump!

Chen shi slipped and fell. One hand had landed in some fragments of porcelain, which quickly caused her to begin bleeding.

In an instant, the main hall erupted in chaos.
