Chapter 726 - The White Lotus (1)
While Tang Moyu was having a great time with her family, the same couldn't be said about Xing Yiyue who was in her last term of her pregnancy. Gone was her peerless beauty everyone admired. Now, there was nothing left but misery and despair as she waited inside one of the guest rooms of their home, waiting for her husband's return.
With her bulging stomach and poor state, one may not be able to recognize Xing Yiyue if they had seen her at that moment. Her pale skin wasn't as smooth and healthy as it was, even her long hair looked dishevelled as she sat in the middle of the bed in her long nightdress.
Xing Yiyue barely saw her husband at home these days and she wasn't sure how long she would have to wait until Feng Tianhua asked her for divorce. She had never thought that this would be the end of her marriage with him.
The tray with food delivered to her room by one of the maids was left untouched and with the consistent contractions she was having these days, it was only a matter of time before she gave birth to her child.
For the past months, the reason why Feng Tianhua hadn't truly abandoned her yet was because of this baby, but Xing Yiyue wasn't certain how much longer she would be able to use her child to keep her husband from divorcing her, not knowing that their marriage wasn't a valid one in the first place.
Xing Yiyue shivered as she pondered her next steps after she had given birth. There was no way in hell that Feng Tianhua would easily let her off the hook, considering how angry he was at her. He was able to restrain his anger because she was still pregnant, but who was to say what he would do once she wasn't anymore?
To think that Tang Moyu was able to turn the tables against her completely… Xing Yiyue couldn't believe it at all! She had never thought that it was possible for Feng Tianhua to hate her completely, but he did, he hated her to the core.
Three months ago, Feng Tianhua came home, marching towards their bedroom with some papers in his hand. He looked so intimidating and furious at the same time as he looked at her. For the first time since she met him, Xing Yiyue felt an indescribable fear consuming her.
"A daughter of a surgeon? An only child?" Feng Tianhua sneered at her before slapping the papers at her face in rage.
Xing Yiyue stilled unconsciously, frozen in her spot. She could see that something was wrong with her husband's face. Regardless of the reason that caused it, she tried to keep her composure.
"Your name isn't even Xing Yiyue! You, liar!" He yelled at her on top of his lungs. If looks could kill, Xing Yiyue would have died at that very instant, seeing how angry her husband was.
"W-what?" Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at her husband. How did he manage to find out?
"Liar! Are you going to spout another lie right in my face, again?!" Feng Tianhua wanted to strangle the woman in front of him to death, but the thought that she might be carrying his child forbade him to do so.
Meanwhile, Xing Yiyue had never thought that her husband would be able to uncover the truth about her real identity. Aside from Liu Ruoyan, who else knew about her dark past?
Right. Didn't Tang Moyu threaten her with it in the past? It must be that woman's doing! Xing Yiyue repeatedly cursed the empress in her heart and swore that she would make Tang Moyu pay for it. She would never forgive the empress for ruining her life!
Wasn't it enough that Tang Moyu had married Feng Tianyi and was accepted as the new madam of the Feng family? That aside from her husband, Tang Moyu was able to win the favor of the empress dowager and the support of the Song family?
"Darling, it's not what you think!" She clung onto Feng Tianhua's arm, displaying her pitiful act once again to gain his sympathy. Unfortunately, this time she failed. She had no idea how much Feng Tianhua despised her right now. It was basically too much that he couldn't wait to kick her to the curb for the impertinence she had committed against him.
"It's not what I think? Then tell me, why did you lie to me?!" He questioned her, cruelly gripping her wrist as he pulled her into him.
"You dare to trick me?" He spat venomously. "Then you better be prepared for the repercussions of your actions!"
If it wasn't for her… if she hadn't seduced and tricked him, he wouldn't have lost Tang Moyu altogether. The reason why Tang Moyu ended up becoming his brother's wife and why she hated him was all because this woman's doing!
Feng Tianhua, being the prideful man that he was, couldn't believe and accept that a conniving woman like Liang Ling was able to make him a fool for so long. 6 freaking years! If Tang Moyu hadn't planted the seed of doubt in him about his wife, he wouldn't have suspected that Xing Yiyue had been playing him all this time.
Who knew how many men had been with her before she managed to trap him into marriage? Just the mere thought of how this woman had ruined all his plans and deceived him all these years was enough to make his blood boil in anger.
As if on cue, Xing Yiyue burst into tears as she tried to calm him down, but failed. She could only see his hatred and the heavy scrutiny in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait to throw her out of his life for good.
As the tears streamed down her once beautiful face, Feng Tianhua only looked at her with unconcealed disgust. Thankfully, his marriage with this woman wasn't valid in the eyes of the law and he could kick her out once he obtained the custody of their child, if it was his in the first place.
