On hearing Feng Wu call Mrs Ning a dying woman, Ning Chenxi didn’t realize what she meant at first, but Yan Yan reacted right away!
She rushed toward Feng Wu, stomped her foot, and glared at the latter. “What did you just say?!”
Feng Wu shrugged. “I think you heard me clearly.”
Yan Yan was furious. “You!”
She wanted to hit Feng Wu, but Ning Chenxi stopped her in time. “Yan Yan, what are you doing here? Go back to your mother!”
“Ning. Chen. Xi! Are you deaf and blind? She just called my mother a dying woman and you’re still taking her side? Are you even my family at all? You’ve lost your head over that pretty face!”
Ning Chenxi stole a glance at his aunt, whose face was contorted with rage. The lady was practically spitting fire from her eyes. All her guards had their hands on their sabers as well.
Ning Chenxi was conflicted. However, he still turned to Feng Wu in the end. “Can you maybe apologize to my aunt?”
A few steps away, Feng Liu and Feng Yiran feigned indifference, but were actually paying close attention to everything. Seeing that Feng Wu had been bold enough to curse Mrs Yan, the brother and sister were beside themselves with joy.
It seemed that they didn’t have to do anything after all. Feng Wu wouldn’t live to see another sunrise! At that thought, they exchanged smiles.
Feng Wu darted a look at Ning Chenxi and frowned. “Why should I? I’m only telling the truth. In fact, if you really care for her, you should find her an excellent medicine refiner. Maybe she’ll still have a chance.”
Bang!
Even Mrs Yan, who was all about good manners, couldn’t stand it anymore. With a wave of her hand, all twelve guards surrounded Feng Wu and her people!
The guards were solemn-faced, emotionless, and looked ready to kill!
Whoosh!
They drew out their weapons in unison, looking rather intimidating!
Behind them, Mrs Yan and Mrs Ning walked toward Feng Wu, arm in arm.
Mrs Yan was obviously offended, while Mrs Ning, who had liked Feng Wu in the beginning, was frowning at her as well.
Wow! Was there going to be a fight? Kill Feng Wu! Now! Feng Liu was so excited that she clenched her fists and watched with unblinking eyes.
Frowning at Feng Wu, Mrs Ning was the first to speak. “Young lady, have we done something to offend you? How can you curse us like that?”
Feng Wu shook her head. “I wasn’t cursing you.”
“What were you doing, then?”
“Reminding you.”
“Reminding us?” Mrs Ning frowned. “Are you saying that my sister is really terminally ill?”
“Yes.” Feng Wu nodded solemnly.
Mrs Yan snickered. “You have neither felt my pulse nor asked me about my symptoms. How can you be so sure that I’m seriously ill? You’re only making things up! I’m perfectly fine and there’s nothing wrong with me. You’re nothing but an ignorant girl. Stop acting like some master medicine refiner!”
“Mrs Yan, you don’t feel anything out of the ordinary at all? Do you not have palpitations when you wake up in the middle of the night? Or headaches a little past noon? Do you not get a dull stomach ache after each meal?” Feng Wu stared at Mrs Yan with a half-smile.
Mrs Yan went stiff right away!
Seeing her reaction, Feng Wu smiled. “Mrs Yan, you know better than anyone else how you really feel, don’t you? And I think you know that I’m not making anything up.”
“Mother, do you really not feel well?”
“Sister?”
“Aunt?”
Everyone turned to Mrs Yan in concern.
