Chapter 1505: Lianyi’s Hatred II
Feng Lianqing closed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
“Big Brother Feng, I won’t become a concubine, and I won’t do something like stealing another person’s love. My biological father… was seduced away by a witch, and he abandoned my mother and me! He was even deluded by that witch and announced that he would kill my mother and me. My mother was only able to continue living by his side because of my grandfather’s protection.
“But…” Lianyi’s face was covered in tears as she continued sorrowfully, “But I was constantly abused by him and that witch at home, so my mother sent me away. The general just happened to pass by and took pity on me, which was why he had brought me back.
“All these years, he knew that I now belong to General Manor and have a relatively high position here so he wouldn’t bully my mother. If I lost General Manor’s protection, my mother and I would both lose our lives. I beg you, Big Brother Feng. Please don’t tell the general, I beg you…”
All these years, she had feigned obedience before the general to finally gain his trust after much difficulty.
Even if she was different from Big Brother Feng because she did not have the talent to become his disciple, the people in General Manor treated her like a young miss.
The general too… treated her like she was his granddaughter.
However…
The general had never allowed even a spec of dust in his eyes. If he knew that she had done such a thing, he would definitely be furious and chase her out of General Manor.
Feng Lianqing was not moved and kept his back facing the girl.
Lianyi looked up with pitiful eyes. “The general is a righteous person. He would never tolerate such a thing even if it was his biological granddaughter. So… if he finds out, I won’t be able to stay here anymore. Big Brother Feng, seeing as how we grew up together, please don’t tell him.”
Feng Lianqing laughed coldly. “Even if I don’t tell, do you think His Highness would keep quiet?”
Lianyi shuddered as fear filled her eyes.
Feng Lianqing continued to laugh coldly. “Moreover, the empress was enraged. It was His Highness who had said he wanted to wait for Master to return so they could discuss this. Otherwise, the empress would have been here by now.”
Lianyi’s body went limp as she fell, paralyzed to the ground. Her eyes were filled with fear as she asked, “But I have only made this mistake because of you. I did this for you. You can’t leave me like this, Big Brother Feng…”
Feng Lianqing closed his eyes in pain. After a long while, he opened his eyes. “Yes, you only did this to absolve me. Hence, I will go to Miss Feng later and apologize. You better go and beg for her forgiveness as well! One other thing, since this incident happened because of me, I will shoulder this responsibility. When Master returns, I will tell him myself!”
He and Lianyi had both grown up under the general’s care, but why… had Lianyi become so frightening?
She was even worse than Helian Yue.
Helian Yue was only rotten on the surface. She would never stab someone in the back or tell lies to frame someone else. She would, at most, lecture the people she did not like.
But Lianyi…
On the surface, she was kind, gentle, and loyal. But in truth… She was devious, selfish, and a fiend!
“Lianyi, I finally understand why between you and Helian Yue, Master prefers Helian Yue.”
Before he left, Feng Lianqing paused again and smirked. “Perhaps Master has already noticed something but he finds you pitiful, and since you’ve never actually done anything wrong, he just kept you around.”
