Chapter 47 (1/2)
It had been a long time since she had used her fists and feet. She was truly worried about not having anyone to practice with. She worried that she had become rusty.
Gently placing her arms and legs on the bed, she spread herself on the bed to appear as if she were still sleeping. In an instant, she hid behind the curtain.
At the beginning the sounds from outside the window were small and probing, then it eventually became borderline frantic. Finally, the window was opened from the outside with a “peng” sound, and a shadowy figure jumped in to the room.
The person’s landing was loud, which frightened that person stiff for quite some time before they dared move again.
Feng Yu Heng looked down upon the person and thought to herself, so it was a good for nothing.
But that good for nothing did not believe himself to be one. He just heavily walked over to the bed, all the while looking all over the bed. He threw his head back and fiddled with some hair that fell to his forehead.
Feng Yu Heng had pretty good night vision. Even though the person covered their face, she could still tell it was a man based on body build. Especially based on the shape of his exposed eyes. It allowed her to immediately recognize that person.
So it was him!
Very good!
She flicked her wrist and watched him approach the side of the bed. He slowly reached a hand towards the top of the blanket.
The raised area of the blanket sank. Only then did the good for nothing realize that there was nobody lying on the bed. He had been fooled!
He wanted to escape, but punches and kicks struck him from all directions. One hit at a time, he was put in a position where he could no longer stay standing. He could only lie down on the bed and bear with being struck by punches and kicks.
Feng Yu Heng was also filled with hate. One hand reached toward her wrist and swiftly pulled out three acupuncture needles held between her fingers.
She held one hand in a fist and the other out flat. Needles rested atop the extended palm. The muscles that had not seen use were given a good exercise. The other person was beaten so badly that they could not even beg for mercy.
Outside, Huang Quan, who was keeping watch, heard the commotion, but when she barged in, she saw her own house’ young miss happily beating away. Feeling no need to rush forward, she decided to lean back and enjoy the show.
Only when Wang Chuan and Qing Yu were awoken by the commotion, did they move forward together and ask Feng Yu Heng: “Young miss, what happened?”
Feng Yu Heng displayed her rarely seen mischievous side and pointed to the savagely-beaten person lying on the bed: “A thief barged in here in the middle of the night. He headed straight for the young miss’ bed. It must be a rapist.”
The criminal, hearing this, became angry: “I am not a rapist! Based on your looks, only a demon would want you.”
Feng Yu Heng laughed: “Oh, you even know what this young miss looks like. Then it would mean you are an acquaintance? Wang Chuan, take off his mask and see.”
“No!” The man exclaimed loudly upon hearing those words. Without care for the painful injuries on his body, he flipped over and stood up; however, he did not find his footing and wound up lying on the floor instead. He continued, however, in his struggle to crawl to the door, all while spouting off nonsense: “This elder will remember this. Wait for me. Sooner or later, I will come back for revenge.”
“Wang Chuan!” Feng Yu Heng got mad, “He said he still wants to come. Beat him. Beat him to death! Does our Da Shun dynasty not have this sort of law? Beating someone to death, who has barged in to a girl’s room in the middle of the night, will not lead to jail time right?”
Wang Chuan swiftly kicked the man from the door in to the yard and replied: “Do not worry, young miss. You are the future Princess Yu. Laws have no hold over you.”
Huang Quan, seeing that Wang Chuan had acted, could no longer remain calm and yelled: “Young miss, please let me join in the fun.” She turned and flew out, joining Wang Chuan in beating the good for nothing.
Feng Yu Heng held a cup of cold tea and giggled while watching and directing from the doorway: “The leg on the left, kick it a couple more times. He can still move! Right arm, right arm! Don’t allow him to be a threat anymore.”
“Young miss, don’t worry!” Huang Quan replied laughing: “If he dares bare his claws again, I’ll directly remove his arm.”
With this much commotion in the yard, it was impossible to hide from others. Very quickly, all of the masters and servants were up. Even Feng Zi Rui came to her side while rubbing his eyes: “Big sister, why is there still fighting in the middle of the night?”
She rubbed his small face and asked him: “Is Zi Rui afraid?”
Zi Rui shook his head: “Not afraid. Zi Rui is a brave man and will learn martial arts in the future to protect mother and sister.”
“Very kind!” Feng Yu Heng began thinking of having Wang Chuan and Huang Quan teach Zi Rui martial arts.
Yao shi was a little afraid and came forward to ask: “What exactly is happening here?”
Feng Yu Heng’s expression sank as she glared at the beaten man. Turning to face Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, she called out: “You can stop now!” Then she informed granny Sun: “Go to Shu Ya courtyard and report to the matriarch. Just say that there was a criminal that barged in to Willow courtyard. He climbed in through my window and headed straight for my bed and began feeling around. Coincidentally, I had gotten up to drink some water and caught the criminal.”
Granny Sun cried out and quickly departed.
Feng Yu Heng turned to Wang Chuan again and said: “Do the same in informing father.” Thinking some more, “Hm, currently he should be at Ru Yi courtyard accompanying Jin Zhen.”
Wang Chuan sneered and quickly left.
Only then did Feng Yu Heng respond to Yao shi: “Mother has heard the full story. From the beginning to the end, it was like that.”
