Chapter 1520: Helian Yue’s Protection IV
Feng Lianyi trembled as she could sense doubt in Feng Lianqing’s tone. She clenched her fists hard and smiled bitterly. “I know you won’t believe me. But I, Feng Lianyi, will do what I say. If I really did it, I will admit it, and I’ve proved that before.”
Feng Lianqing did not say anything and looked at Feng Lianyi coldly.
His eyes no longer had the kindness they used to have; instead, they were cold.
“Brother Feng, it’s fine. You wouldn’t believe me anyway.” Feng Lianyi smiled and stepped forward. “You can punish me as you wish, expel me as well! I just wanted to say one more thing in self-defense.”
She paused for a moment and said, “If I really did it, why did I punish this servant after discovering it? I can wait until you find it to prove it. Moreover, I’ve just sent someone to stop Sister Helian.”
Feng Lianqing seemed not to believe Feng Lianyi. Suddenly, the old housekeeper hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard.
“Maiden Lianyi, you’re really killing me.” The old housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead. “You told me to stop Young Lady Helian from causing trouble, but Young Lady Helian was no longer there when I ran over there. It just makes me tired running all over for nothing.”
The old housekeeper was too old to do such things.
If this matter had nothing to do with Helian Yue, he would not have run around at his old age.
But as soon as he heard Feng Lianyi said that Helian Yue would cause trouble again, he was so worried that he hurriedly ran out, not taking even taking a break on his way to the inn.
Feng Lianqing smiled faintly at Feng Lianqing, “You don’t believe my words, but do you not even believe the old housekeeper’s words? If I really wanted to harm her, why would I let the old housekeeper stop Helian Yue?”
Indeed, he did not believe Feng Lianyi’s words.
But the old housekeeper had only been loyal to the general all his life, and he would trust anything he said.
‘Did this matter… Really have nothing to do with Lianyi?’
“You young people solve your own matters. Next time don’t torment me like this.” The old housekeeper sighed, “General is not here, and I am already tired. Young Lady Helian, please behave. Otherwise, General will lecture you again when he comes back.”
Helian Yue clenched her fists tightly and looked at Feng Lianyi.
“I don’t believe it. It must be you who did that!”
Feng Lianyi smiled helplessly. “Sister Helian, I know you don’t like me. You don’t have to stare at me like that. I repeat, I won’t deny what I’ve done, and I won’t admit what I haven’t.”
“You…”
“Enough!” Feng Lianqing felt a headache coming. He looked at Feng Lianyi and warned her again, “Lianyi, I hope you will remember what you said. If you cause trouble again, I will not wait for Master to return. I will kick you out myself.”
Feng Lianyi clenched her fists and took a deep breath.
“You don’t have to remind me. I’d also feel embarra.s.sed to stay in General Manor if I made the same mistake again.”
Feng Lianqing said no more and turned back to Helian Yue. “Young Lady Helian, you should leave first.”
“Brother Lianqing!” Helian Yue’s face turned pale. “Alright, we won’t talk about today’s matter. But what about before? What about the fact that she has harmed Xiao Qing before?”
Feng Lianqing rubbed his throbbing temples. “When Master returns, he will deal with it.”
“And what would happen then? Is Brother Lianqing still going to speak up for her and allow her to remain in General Manor?” Helian Yue glared furiously. “Moreover, no one knows when Grandfather Tian Ya will return. Can you guarantee that she won’t find trouble with Xiao Qing during this time?”
