Villain Lady - Chapter 274

“What do you plan to do with her now?”

“Nothing,” Yang Xian replied. “It might be a bit too fast for her, so I will keep it the way it is and focus on ending the war first.”

“There are several messages from the Capital City over the past two to three months you’re staying beyond the border. I didn’t relay the not so important messages to you,” Prince Ji Sheng took out several bamboo strips and handed it to Yang Xian.

“I think using cloth will be more efficient.”

“Washing all the ink will be hard.”

“True enough.”

Yang Xian read the messages one by one. It was written in code as usual, so he needed some time to crack them. Though, it was simply too easy, so he could guess everything that occurred from the time they were left.

“You should send congratulation message to the Fourth Prince soon. I’m sure that many will be asking when it will be your turn,” Yang Xian concluded after he had finished reading the information.

Prince Ji Sheng nodded. “Wei Family is not the only one staring to make their moves.”

“They’re the most conspicuous one, though.”

“Because Prince Ji Shu’s fiancée is there?”

The two of them turned their head and saw Wei Liuying walked out of the tent. It was cold, so she was still wearing the thick blanket over her body as she walked out. Her dark eyes were looking at the two of them as if asking for an answer.

“Yes.”

“Did something happen?”

Yang Xian handed a piece of bamboo strip to Wei Liuying. “There are some bad news for them, but there are several pieces of good news.”

Taking the bamboo strips, Wei Liuying began to read the content. Her brows furrowed when she read the third one. She raised her head and looked at the two of them. “My mother was executed?”

“Yes.”

As Wei Hong’s concubine, it was weird enough that Feng Chun would get involved in something nasty to the point that she was executed. Based on what was written here, Wei Liuying realize that the reason for the execution was because she was cheating. However, it was weird that no one ever found out about it in the first place.

“It’s said that your brother is not Wei Hong’s son but from the man Feng Chun had an affair with. She was executed a week ago, so you can’t meet her anymore,” Prince Ji Sheng informed.

Wei Liuying nodded. The information written was incomplete because they have to explain everything with as little words as possible. However, she could guess what had happened just from the information written here.

Wei Liuying closed her eyes. It seemed that her mother’s end was so quick without her around.

…

*A few months prior, Wei Family Household*

Prang!

“What did you say?” Feng Chun stood up from her position. She had just heard that the girls returned back safely from the Temple not long ago and now they were inviting some people to say that there were some misdoings in this residence?

The maid trembled and bowed in fear. “It’s true, Madam…”

Feng Chun gritted her teeth. For the past few months, she had just realized that she was struggling to keep her position high. Wei Xiao Hua constantly tried to search faults in her and Concubine Xie to the point that they were tired of it.

The household was never peaceful anymore.

And more infuriatingly, Wei Xiao Hua didn’t have to be the one to take care of the matter on her own. She only needed to state some facts and revealed her real intention in some matters, which pushed her back badly.

Right now, Feng Chun was no longer the same beauty that attracted Wei Hong’s heart. She seemed to age more than a decade since the time Wei Liuying left Wei Family Household. The skin that she usually took care so badly was damaged, which also made her beauty slowly diminished.

Though, the charm remained.

“Lead me to the main hall!” Feng Chun said with harsh tone.

“Yes!”

Straightening her back, Feng Chun looked to the front. No matter what, she would never let a girl who hadn’t grown up yet to be the one to decide her future. She would surely take back what was supposed to be hers.

As she walked to the main hall, the atmosphere had gotten colder.

She didn’t know what she should think anymore when she saw the servants lowered their heads when they saw her. It was as if they were looking at a criminal that had brought so much shame on them.

‘It’s strange.’

‘Just who is it that Wei Xiao Hua bring today?’

Feng Chun was still utterly confused as she walked into the hall. She could see Wei Hong Zheng kowtowing on the ground with Wei Hong standing in front of him. On the side, Wei Xiao Hua, Wei Yijun, and Wei Zilin were standing with other concubines. From their expression, it was as if they were looking at a piece of trash.

There was also another man who was kneeling not far from Wei Hong. Feng Chun quickly recognized him as Feng Bo, her cousin who used to play with her at young. She had not contacted him for years because he was busy with his work.

Why is he here?

As Feng Bo turned his head around, there was fear, regret, and also despair within his eyes.

At that moment, Feng Chun’s heart dropped to the bottom abyss.

‘Why?’

“D…Dear?” Feng Chun’s voice quivered.

Wei Hong raised his head and looked at Feng Chun, his gaze was chilling cold. If only one could kill with his gaze, he would have done so from a long time ago. Right now, he truly wished to kill this woman in front of him.

She might be his wife, but the news that his first daughter informed him only told him something that was so sickening to the point that he wished he never knew.

“Feng Chun, what have you done?”
