Chapter 201: The Ungrateful Shui
Grandfather Feng stared back at Little Bun. “Who are you, you little rascal? Why does the vice-principal think you’re so special? Says you’re special, says it’s a secret, says he’s not allowed to say. And now I have to keep it a secret too. Tells me I have to keep it a secret but won’t share what the hell the secret is. Fucking old geezer. Even if I wanted to talk about it, it’s not like I know anything.”
He had blown an enchantment out through his beard as he spoke so no one could hear their conversation.
“Xiao Wu, you and Grandfather finished talking already?” Tian was surprised their conversation ended so quickly.
Papa Feng was puzzled. “Where’s the child?” He was anxious when he didn’t see the nanny beast holding Little Bun. josei
“With Grandfather,” replied Feng Wu.
“With Grandfather?!” Cold-hearted Grandfather Feng was interested in a child? How shocking!
But neither men were worried about Little Bun’s well-being. Grandfather Feng was a peerless powerhouse on the pinnacle of the world. He wouldn’t stoop to hurting a baby.
Grandfather Feng: Then why the hell were you loitering by the doorway?!
“It looks like Grandfather Feng didn’t say it, but he’s forgiven you. He wouldn’t have been interested in your child otherwise.”
Papa Feng was so relieved. On one side was his daughter, on the other side was his father. He would have had a hard time if they fought. Good thing everyone could live peacefully.
“That’s great Xiao Wu. Looks like Grandfather isn’t angry anymore.”
Feng Wu had suffered a lot in the past year but now things were finally better.
That Feng Wu was back home was a big deal. The news spread to the other aristocrat houses in the capital.
Most people didn’t expect she would be able return. Most people would have been executed for shaming their houses like that. Being exiled was a lenient sentence. Or if the person wasn’t driven out then they would be stripped of their status. They would certainly never be able to enjoy the benefits they once had.
The capital, Qui mansion, Bing’s room.
“So Feng Wu is really back.” The woman who spoke was dignified with sharp eyebrows and eastern features. Her porcelain hand held a jade teacup to red lips.
“It makes me sick. Grandpa Feng is beyond silly.” Bing[ID] was sitting by the window trimming a plant, but she was doing it badly.
“What should we do Big Sister Lanzhou? I hate her so much. I don’t understand why Grandpa Feng would let her come back. She’ll be buzzing around Elder Brother again. It’s disgusting!” Shui wanted to slap Feng Wu ever since she found out from Feng Ting, but her sister had sent her a note so she was forced to return home. Lanzhou, her older sister’s friend, had come over so now all three were in Bing’s room.
“Little sister, stop talking nonsense. If you liken her to a fly buzzing, then what is Bai?”[ID] Bing glanced at Shui in light reproach. She put down the potted plant and went to sit down beside Lanzhou.
Shui realized her comment had been inappropriate. She covered her mouth with her hand in an oops gesture before sticking her tongue out at her older sister playfully. “I was wrong. To say she’s a fly is too good for her.”
“Shui, why are you even so angry? It’s not like she and Bai are ever going to get together. You should know your mother would never allow Bai to marry a woman who’s already got a child.” Lanzhou put her teacup down, while maintaining her perfect posture.
“I just really hate her! I don’t want to see her pestering Elder Brother. And she slapped me twice last time. She’s a horrible, disgusting woman. I wish she would just die!”
“She beat you?!”Bing didn’t expect her little sister to keep something so important secret.
Even Lanzhou’s eyes opened up in surprise. “She dared hit you?!”
“Of course she dared. She’s older now. Before she would always make a detour around me, but now not only does she dare talk back to me, she dare hit me!” Shui’s heart burned with anger every time she thought about those two slaps to the face.
Bing’s eyes darkened. “Hm . . . In that case I really can’t let her go.”
“Older Sister, you and Sister Lanzhou have to help me get revenge!” Her sister and Sister Lanzhou were the only ones she could share the humiliation with. Yes, she was really beaten by someone with a crippled cultivation system. Her pride wouldn’t let her swallow the insult.
Lanzhou let out a small puff of air before softly saying, “Don’t worry. Feng Wu was in the wrong this time. Bing and I will help you.”
“Big Sister Lanzhou, you’re wonderful!” Shui exclaimed.
Feng Wu didn’t know three girls were out to get her. She was busy being happy.
She was either reading romance novels with her mother or accompanying her mother with Little Bun shopping or watching some play or other. Sometimes Tian came along with them, though usually he was busy practicing swordsmanship with Grandfather Feng.
Papa Feng had his hands full taking care of family business so he didn’t normally have time to accompany them.
Right now the mother and daughter duo were walking hand in hand to see a play. They were dressed in similar styles; it was quite a pretty picture. The theater they were going to was well-known in the capital; many aristocrats and couples patronized it.
Today’s play was called “Dragon Slayer Hero.” It was about a young man named Ao who was a swordsmanship fanatic. He visited sword masters from all around the world to hone his swordsmanship. When he finally returned home, he found out that a gigantic fire-breathing dragon had burned his entire village down.
Everyone died. Even his parents. To avenge them he went to the royal palace and obtained the legendary Holy Royal sword that had been passed down for generations. Then Ao went to the dragon’s home island and slayed the fire-breathing dragon.
