It was hard to imagine how a three-year-old girl could show such a horrifying smile. However, they had seen her being forced by Tao Qiurong to use a sword since she could crawl. First, it was a wooden sword, then a bronze sword, and then an iron sword. If she didn't do well, she would be scolded and beaten. Growing up in such an environment, how could she not feel happy when she saw the target of torture become someone else?
"I told you not to call anyone! I told you to only care about eating! I told you not to practice swordsmanship! " The woman was weak after all. After being beaten for a while, she panted and kicked Feng Jiu to the bottom of the cherry tree. She shouted, "Listen to me. Don't give him food at night. Let him be hungry. When he is hungry enough, he will be polite and know to call someone!" She walked to Feng Lin with a gentle smile. "Lin 'er is the best. Yes, continue to practice. Don't mind me. I won't stop you. I still want you to bring glory to me in the future. Show the bitches of the first branch that you are the child your father is most proud of! "She went back to her room while talking to herself. She ignored the resentment and indifference on Feng Lin's face.
The two looked at the unconscious Feng Jiu under the cherry tree. They were speechless for a long time.
After a long time, Yan Li sighed and said, "Although I had a rough childhood, my parents were very good to me. Compared with Eldest Brother, I can be considered lucky."
Gu Caiwei nodded in agreement. "I have my grandmother and sister, but even Feng Jiu's sister is not good to him. He is not healthy. I really don't know how he can survive. He only ate two mouthfuls for lunch and has nothing to eat at night. He must be hungry tonight. "
After that, no one came to bring food to Feng Jiu. No one even came to carry the unconscious Feng Jiu back to his room. They were all afraid of being blamed by Tao Qiurong.
Perhaps he was frightened by Tao Qiurong, or perhaps he was afraid to face Feng Lin's smile, but Feng Jiu didn't wake up until midnight. As soon as he woke up, his stomach began to growl. Although the two of them were forced to stay more than fifteen meters away from Feng Lin, Feng Lin happened to bring a meal to the cherry tree and saw that Feng Jiu had just woken up.
Cold, dry rice with a few broken bones. Feng Lin's sneer was very ear-piercing in the night. She looked at Feng Jiu as if she was looking at a dog. "Eat. The books say that people will starve to death if they don't eat." Her childish voice made the two of them shiver.
Feng Jiu was starving, but she couldn't move her hands, so she could only look at Feng Lin pleadingly. Feng Lin sneered. "Dogs don't need to be fed."
Feng Jiu hesitated for a moment. Finally, he was defeated by his hunger. Like a dog, he crouched down and gnawed. After filling his stomach, he said to Feng Lin gratefully, "Thank you, Lin Lin. If you hadn't saved food for me, I would have starved tonight. My stomach would hurt for a long time." Yan Li's heart ached when he heard this. Only those who often went hungry knew that their stomachs would hurt after a long time.
At this time, Feng Jiu wasn't even at the age to understand. Instead, he thought that dogs were very fun. Feng Lin's precociousness was evident from this. The two had seen Feng Lin's precociousness. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to read half a year after she was born. She could understand Tao Qiurong's prayer that she would choose a sword at the Catch-Week Banquet. She preferred embroidery. Who would have thought that after fulfilling her mother's wish, she would face such a tragic fate?
Facing Feng Jiu's sincere gratitude, the two couldn't see the change in Feng Lin's expression in the dark. But they knew that deep in this little girl's heart, a seed of affection must have been planted.
"Why don't you call him father?" She suddenly asked in the dark.
Feng Jiu said, "Father doesn't like me. I want to not attract his attention and leave early after eating. I don't want to make him angry and leave Mother out.
。”
Feng Lin said, "Don't you hate Mother for hitting you like this?"
In the dark, Feng Jiu's expression seemed to be hesitant. "Mother is still good to me."
"You're silly!" A crisp but short laughter sounded in the dark.
Feng Jiu also laughed. He didn't know what Feng Lin was laughing about, but he was happy to see Feng Lin laugh.
Yan Li looked at Gu Caiwei. Seeing that her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, he held her hand. "Maybe the truth is completely different from what we imagined."
The situation continued to change. In the blink of an eye, six years had passed. In these six years, Feng Lin practiced swordsmanship even harder. Even Yan Li was amazed by her efforts. He couldn't help but practice with her in the illusion.
On this day, in the villa competition, Feng Lin used basic swordsmanship to suppress everyone. After defeating Sixth Brother Feng Gantang who had been practicing swordsmanship for thirteen years, she actually awakened her true name on the spot. When the second-class Sword God appeared, the entire villa was shocked.
Feng Zhinian was so excited that he almost lost control of himself. Disregarding the strong objections of the clan elders, he immediately announced Feng Lin as his successor, as well as the next Manor Lord, despite the fact that he was breaking the ancestral rule that only passed down to males and not females.
By the time Feng Lin returned to Yushu Residence, it was already very late. Tao Qiurong personally prepared a banquet to welcome her and served her like a princess. Seeing her mother's gentle and moving smile, she only felt nauseous. She said coldly, "I want Feng Jiu to wash my feet. I'll only have the mood to eat after he washes my feet. He also deserves credit for washing my feet, so I can force him to eat with me. Quickly call him over! "
"Feng Jiu, where's Feng Jiu?" Tao Qiurong immediately roared at the servant beside her. The servant hurriedly went to look for him, but he wasn't in the courtyard, so he could only go elsewhere. An hour later, he finally returned with a bruised and swollen Feng Jiu.
When Feng Lin saw Feng Jiu's aggrieved expression, an inexplicable rage rose in her. "Who beat you up?"
Feng Jiu shook his head and refused to answer. The servant beside him had no choice but to tell the truth after being glared at by Feng Lin. "When I went there, I saw Young Master Heng and his men surrounding him. They said something like … trash …"
Young Master Heng was Feng Heng, ranked second in the villa. Feng Lin was mature. She knew that Feng Heng was taking revenge on Feng Jiu because she had become the successor. "I'll be back soon!" She said coldly and rushed out.
"Stop!" Tao Qiurong was so weak that she couldn't stop Feng Lin. She could only point at Feng Jiu's nose and scolded, "How did I give birth to a trash like you? You were beaten up at this time and you dare not speak up. Look at how obedient Lin is and how hardworking she is. She won first place in the competition. Look at you, trash!" After scolding for a while, she seemed to think that the day of pride was just around the corner. Her mood became exceptionally good. She gestured to the servant to help Feng Jiu, who was still laughing foolishly, to sit down and feed him.
Yan Li and Feng Lin were led by Feng Lin to Jufangzhai. The second young master, Feng Heng, was the son of Mistress Tian of Jufangzhai. When Feng Lin arrived at Jufangzhai, she saw that the front hall was dark and the surroundings were quiet. Usually, Jufangzhai would be bustling at this time. It was hard to say if it was not because she had become the successor. She originally wanted to go to the door to denounce them, but there was no one to ask, so she had to barge in. After walking for a while, she suddenly saw a brightly lit place. She leaned over and heard someone talking inside. She did not know what she was thinking, but she poked open a layer of window paper and peeked inside.
Yan Li and Gu Caiwei did not have any scruples, so they went straight in to take a look. This was a small hall used by the master to greet his close friends. There were three people inside, one of them was a graceful and beautiful woman.
The two of them had already recognized her from Feng Lin's memory illusion. She was the owner of Jufangzhai, Mistress Tian. Behind her stood a wet nurse, and in front of her knelt a man dressed as a guard.
The man knelt on the ground on one knee with a sword slung across his waist. He was very handsome, with thick eyebrows that were like lacquer. He looked very attractive. "May I know why Mistress has summoned me here in the middle of the night? If there's anything that pleases your eyes, or if there's any private matter that is not suitable for me to come out, please feel free to let me do it! " He stole a glance at Mistress Tian, thinking that Mistress had given birth to so many children, but her beauty was still the same as before. He really envied the Lord.
The beautiful woman, Mistress Tian, sneered and said, "Chen An, do you know that you have committed a crime!"
Chen An's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head, "I have always been conscientious and did not dare to make a single mistake. I beg Mistress to investigate clearly …"
Mistress Tian sneered and said, "Your results in the past few years have been very poor. If it wasn't for the fact that your grandfather, Chen Ke, has served the villa for most of his life, he would have kicked you out long ago! You actually dared to collude with your fellow villager, Chen San, to steal the treasury's silver to gamble, and you even lost everything. Do you know that the gambling house is the villa's property? "
Chen An's face suddenly turned pale, and he fell to the ground and begged, "Mistress, please have mercy, please have mercy … I, I was deceived by Chen San. I thought it was okay to play once in a while, but I didn't expect to lose all my belongings. I want to withdraw some money from the treasury first. As long as I earn it back, I will immediately make up for it … Please have mercy, Mistress!"
Mistress Tian smiled and said, "Get up and sit down first." Chen An stood up in confusion, but he did not dare to sit down. He only secretly observed Mistress Tian's expression and found that the latter was amiable and did not look like she was furious. Then he heard the latter say, "Chen An, I heard that you are very good with women. Even Jufang Zhai has a maid who has an ambiguous relationship with you, right?" When he saw Mistress Tian say these words, there seemed to be some praise in her tone. He became bolder and thought, could it be that the Lord had not come to Jufang Zhai for a long time, and Mistress Tian was lonely and wanted to steal some fresh meat? When he thought of this, his eyes became bolder, and he searched Mistress Tian's body.
Mistress Tian was a smart person, and her face suddenly became as cold as ice, "Put away your stupid thoughts. If you dare to look at me like this again, I will dig out your eyeballs, mince them, and feed them to the dogs!"
Chen An suddenly trembled and knelt down. Mistress Tian continued to say, "Of course, what you think is not wrong. I want you to satisfy a woman, but not me, but Little Miss Tao of Shuyu Ju. I will use the name of protecting Fenglin to transfer you to Shuyu Ju. You just have to use your methods with women on Little Miss Tao. After it is done, you will definitely not be able to stay in the manor. But I will give you a sum of money, no, a sum of wealth. This wealth can allow you to lose for the rest of your life, until the day you die, and still have something left over. "
Silently behind Mistress Tian added, "But if you dare to refuse, or reveal the truth, you have to believe that we have enough power to exterminate your entire family!"
Chen An's body shook, and he did not think for long before agreeing. After he left, Mistress Tian said with a victorious smile, "Little Miss Tao cannot be neglected for a long time. I believe that Chen An can satisfy her. As long as she has an affair, I will have a reason to take revenge for what happened in the past, and beat her to death on the spot!"
The mama also smiled and said, "Mistress, do not forget, revenge is only secondary. Our true goal is to adopt Miss Lin to the First Branch. In the future, when she becomes the Lord, she will continue to maintain your position in the manor."
