Chapter 572 (1/2)

I Am Not a Good Person

The saying goes that one must not have the heart to harm others, but it is necessary to protect oneself against them. Based on Feng Yu Heng’s cautious nature, how could she not have heard the gradually nearing footsteps, and how could she not have noticed the person dipping and dodging around behind her. That person had simply squatted down then pushed her back while grabbing her ankle. If this was the real Xiao Ya, perhaps this push would have done the trick.

Unfortunately, this was Feng Yu Heng.

The culprit had watched Feng Yu Heng be pushed into the well, head first with both of her feet leaving the ground; however, for some reason, this person felt more and more flustered. When this person managed to recover, they found that the person that had fallen into the well with half their body under the water, was actually themselves. On the outside, there was a hand holding her wrist. A smiling face looked down at them, causing their heart to tremble.

“Qi family’s young miss, how is the temperature of the water?” Feng Yu Heng had an evil smile on her face and an impossible-to-hide murderous intent flashed through her eyes.

The person in the water was the Qi family’s young miss that had argued with her earlier. If she did not bring up the temperature of the water, it would have been better, but once it was mentioned, the Qi family’s young miss immediately felt the bitter cold seep into her body. The lower half of her body that was in the water became numb from the cold. It was as though it had already been separated from her upper body. There was absolutely no feeling from it.

Her lips and teeth shivered, and her face turned blue. In just a short span of time, a thick feeling of death surged forth. She begged Feng Yu Heng: “I was wrong. I beg you to forgive me, alright?” Her voice was weak and very urgent.

Feng Yu Heng, however, asked her: “If you had succeeded in pushing me into the well, would you have done your best to get me out?” Before waiting for her to reply, she added: “As a person, you must not have the heart to harm others. There was no enmity between us to begin with, yet you insisted on coming over. I am not a good person. How could I allow someone that wished to kill me to continue living?” After she said this, she suddenly let go and straightened out her body, “Qi family’s young miss, may we never meet again.” With a plunk, she fell into the water and fell silent.

She dusted off her hands in contempt, and her gaze became cold. She just thought that the people of the North truly were cruel and fierce. After just a short argument, she turned around and tried to commit murder. Just how exactly did her heart become twisted to such a degree?

At first, she did not intend to argue with a little girl; however, this did not mean that she would allow for someone to threaten her own life. In this man-eating North, let’s see who will eat whom.

Feng Yu Heng looked at the tub then looked at the well. Retracting the coldness from her gaze, she immediately put on a frightened and anxious look and turned around, quickly running toward the backyard. While running, she shouted; “Not good! The Qi family’s young miss fell into the well!”

She ran and shouted, and when she reached the courtyard where Illusory Hall had been training them, everyone was shocked by her shouts. The two girls that had been with the Qi family’s young miss were immediately panicked and urgently asked: “Which well?”

Feng Yu Heng said: “The well that I was fetching water from. I don’t know why she also went. When I turned around, she suddenly rushed forward and ended up in the well. Quickly go and take a look!”

Everyone quickly rushed over. The guards of Illusory Hall also rushed over. A stronger member put a hook down the well then stirred around. After catching onto something, he tied it to the rope in the well and pulled it up.

Everyone looked over. If the person that had been pulled up was not the Qi family’s young miss, who else could it be? The hook had been hook on the collarbone, piercing straight through her. It was as though she was a pig that had been hung up. She had already lost her life.

The surrounding crowd inhaled sharply, and the girls all looked away. They did not even dare to look at the corpse. Shen Yu Ning and Zhang Ling Xi stood on both sides of Feng Yu Heng and comforted her: “Xiao Ya, don’t be scared. She should have gone to an ice well to fetch water; however, she ran over to this side. It’s clear that she wanted to cause trouble for you. Who knew that the trouble would end up taking her own life. That just serves her right.”

These words were heard by the two girls that had been at the side of the Qi family’s young miss. They wanted to argue a bit, but after giving it some thought, they shut their mouths. The two were indeed close with the Qi family’s young miss, and they wanted to use the elder sister that had entered the Winter Palace as support, but now that the Qi family’s young miss had died, there was no need for them to speak out for her.

Very quickly, the woman with the surname Qi also rushed over. Immediately behind her were some elders of the Illusory Hall. But these people were not too surprised by the death of a girl. The woman just waved her hand and ordered the guards: “Wrap her up in a mat and send her back to her family. Give them a bit of money. If the Qi family has any objections, have them come to the Illusory Hall to voice them.”

After just a few words, the matter was considered resolved. It was as though it was not a person that had just died, rather it was a cat or a dog. But after the guards took the corpse away, the woman looked at Feng Yu Heng with a profound gaze then faintly said: “Fu Ya, very good.”

Feng Yu Heng’s expression was calm and just bowed slightly, saying: “Many thanks sister Qi for the praise.”
