“God.” Feng Qingtian also replied in one word.
Lu Fenying frowned. “She has no grudge with the heavens. That’s impossible.”
“They were planning to deal with me and Lulu. They had no way of attacking us, so moved against Mo Qian’er instead.” Feng Qingtian didn’t hide it from him.
Lu Fenying’s eyes turned sharp. “So, my child is dead because of your woman?”
His face was tense, and he looked at Feng Qingtian as if he were an irreconcilable enemy.
They were indeed foes. If Mo Qian’er hadn’t run into Gu Bailu, his baby would’ve been born safely and not die before it could even see the world.
That was his only child, and he didn’t know if he would ever have another one.
Even if it wasn’t Gu Bailu who killed him, the child had been implicated because of her.
Feng Qingtian narrowed his eyes and didn’t back down. “Why don’t you think about why she ran away from the crown prince’s residence? If you really want to blame someone, blame yourself. This is the situation. This won’t stop until they’ve achieved their goal. Lu Fenying, it’s up to you if you’ll protect Mo Qian’er or not.”
Lu Fenying took a sip of his wine. “You want me to do it for you?”
Feng Qingtian said calmly, “The woman is yours. How did it turn into you doing it for me?”
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Mo Qian’er can no longer have children. Why should I protect her?”
Lu Fenying spoke lightly, and Feng Qingtian couldn’t tell if he was being sincere or not.
But there was no need for Feng Qingtian to know if he was being sincere or not. If Lu Fenying didn’t care about Mo Qian’er, then Feng Qingtian could only protect her in his own way.
“If you won’t protect her, then we’ll do it. Let her stay in this residence.”
“Protect her like you did, until my child was killed?” Lu Fenying’s eyes grew colder and colder. He felt awful when he thought of the dead baby in his hands.
He had never felt that terrible before growing up, not even when his father and brothers despised him.
That was his innocent flesh and blood, who should have called him ‘father’ and grown up cherished, but had died instead.
If Prince Zi’s residence was well-defended, how could those with ulterior motives have found an opportunity?
“Indeed, this is something we didn’t consider.” Feng Qingtian looked a little awkward. “Mo Qian’er isn’t my woman, after all. I never thought about protecting her more fully.” The truth was that Feng Qingtian had devoted all his efforts into protecting Gu Bailu, but not so much with Mo Qian’er.
After all, who would’ve thought that those people would attack Mo Qian’er when they couldn’t make a move against him and Lulu?
Besides, wasn’t there Lu Fenying as well? The level of security around him was definitely very high, yet he hadn’t protected Mo Qian’er well either.
“I’m taking her with me. We’re leaving immediately.” Lu Fenying stood up and left.
Of course, Feng Qingtian didn’t chase after him.
He only needed to tell him the real reason behind Mo Qian’er’s mishap. As for what Lu Fenying would do, that wasn’t within Feng Qingtian’s control.
However, he was certain that Lu Fenying would never let go of the people who killed his baby.
That was enough.
Feng Qingtian told Gu Bailu about his meeting with Lu Fenying, and Gu Bailu said worriedly, “Mr. Xiao still wants to make adjustments to Qian’er’s body. If Lu Fenying takes her away…”
“Then let Mr. Xiao go with them. Lulu, Mo Qian’er is safer with Lu Fenying protecting her.”
