Lu Qiqi managed to parry with her knife, but the angle of the sneak attack was too tricky, and a bloody gash was still left on Lu Qiqi's right arm.
Lu Qiqi felt a sharp pain and became even more ruthless, severing the tendons in the man's hands and inflicting deeper cuts on his arm in the same spot.
She will repay those who have wronged her tenfold!
"Stop it, all of you!"
With the help of Granny Cuizhu, Old Madam Hao stood outside the door in her undergarments.
Having lived her whole life emphasizing rules and etiquette, Old Mrs. Feng had no time to worry about such formalities at this moment.
If she doesn't come out soon, her precious granddaughter will be killed on her son's orders!
How could she sit idly by and wait for her death? If that were the case, she would be burying her child.
Upon hearing the order, the servants were momentarily unsure whether to act, and stood frozen in place, not daring to move.
Master Feng looked at his mother with a face that looked like he had seen a ghost.
He clearly instigated Guo to change the charcoal and then anger the old lady to the point of illness or even death, so that he could control the eldest son's family and the future title would be his.
But now the old lady was standing in front of him, and she didn't look like someone who had been ill for a long time. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Treason!"
With a loud slap, a bright red handprint appeared on Master Feng's face.
The handprint was indeed made by Madam Feng.
Madam Feng was so angry with Second Master Feng that her hands were trembling. She said with great pain, "Your elder brother's body is not even cold, and you are already thinking of poisoning his offspring, just for a title."
"Do you think that just because you've schemed to obtain a title, you can keep your wealth and status in the future?!"
"dream!"
"Someone like you who can't even pass the imperial examinations is dreaming of becoming a prime minister."
"Why didn't I drown you when you were born, so you wouldn't have done evil and caused harm to the area!"
Master Feng licked his cheek, completely unconcerned about the slap he received from Madam Feng. His face contorted with rage as he said, "If you hadn't always favored my eldest brother since we were children, would I have failed to pass the imperial examination despite studying hard every day?!"
"That was all to suppress military officials and prevent civil officials from rising in their families, lest the court collapse and the whole country fall into chaos!"
Madam Feng's eyes dimmed as she looked at Second Master Feng with disappointment, and said, "You were eight years old and you could still misspell your own name. After a few years in officialdom, you think you're a hidden gem?"
"That's all thanks to your elder brother paving the way for you. With your lackluster achievements, you still dare to dream that the emperor will be wary of you? The emperor can't even see you!"
"You're talking nonsense! You're all deceiving me!" Master Feng's face turned ashen, and he seemed somewhat deranged.
Madam Feng said, "For the sake of a title, you even schemed against your own mother, instigating Guo to try and anger me to death. Can you bear the crime of matricide?"
Of course, Master Feng could not admit it directly, as he could not bear the crime of murdering his mother. He said, "You are in such good health, it's just an illness caused by anger. When I inherit the title, I will find famous doctors to help you recover. They are all your sons, so why do you have to worry about so much?"
Looking at her hopeless second son, Madam Feng was filled with disappointment. She immediately ordered, "Expel the second master from the Feng family mansion. From this day forward, he shall never set foot in the Feng family mansion again!"
Madam Feng's words turned Second Master Feng's face instantly pale; it was clear that she intended to sever ties with him.
"don't want!"
"Grandmother, please think it over!"
Guo, who was crouching inside the room, heard everything clearly outside. When she realized that the old lady had made a decision, she excitedly shouted.
Feng Xin'er was also frightened. If she were expelled from the Feng family, given her father's powerless official position, she would never be able to marry into a good family in the future.
If she could rely on her reputation as the niece of a marquis and a general, she could marry into a good family.
In an instant, Feng Xin'er regretted her actions. If she had known this would happen, she should have tried her best to dissuade her mother when her father instigated her!
The servants who came to help upon hearing the news had no idea what had happened.
Following Madam Feng's orders, they immediately grabbed Second Master Feng and, along with the four people tied up in Madam Feng's room, escorted them out of Madam Feng's courtyard.
Master Feng's curses faded into the distance with each step he took.
Madam Feng added, "Those who killed the eldest daughter today must not be let go. Throw them all into the mass grave and let them fend for themselves."
The servants who had laid a hand on her, along with four rough old women, knelt down without hesitation upon hearing Madam Feng's order, begging for mercy.
They were all bound by death contracts, and their identities had long been destroyed by the Feng family through various means. Even if they died, the government would not notice.
Madam Feng's words were tantamount to a death sentence for them.
"Please forgive me, Madam. I only did this on the orders of the Second Master."
"Please have mercy, Madam! I have only followed orders and have no disloyal intentions!"
Madam Feng said without changing her expression, "This is the consequence of doing things you shouldn't have done."
Granny Cuizhu shouted, "Hurry up and clean up this filth!"
The clean and tidy servants quickly lifted the kneeling servants and the rough-looking old woman and escorted them out of Madam Feng's courtyard.
Even from a distance, one could hear the rough old women begging for mercy, their cries rising and falling, each one more shrill than the last.
"Grandmother!" When Feng Yu'er saw that Old Madam Feng was standing in front of her safely, she rushed over and hugged her tightly.
Madam Feng lovingly stroked Feng Yu'er's hair and said, "These past few days have been tough on Yu'er."
Feng Yu'er shook her head in Madam Feng's arms, "It's not bitter, as long as Grandmother wakes up."
