Chapter 594: Convincing the Feng Family (V)

“Wa — wawa—”

The father and his three sons were amid their discussions when Feng Jin heard Changsheng’s high-pitched cries from outside. Immediately, he couldn’t sit still.

“Why is Changsheng in tears ——”

His face turned deathly pale, then stumbled as he rose from his seat.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ren sighed helplessly. “He is indeed worthy of his calling as a father, finally he understands the challenges of parenthood.”

Afterwards, Feng Ren and Feng Gui rose up, they went forward to see what the commotion was.

They thought a child’s cries were normal, but unbeknownst to them, this child, Changsheng, has a proud temperament. Even if she cries, she wouldn’t bawl. At most, her eyes will be filled with tears as she cries grievingly. Yet, she can easily maintain not moving about; the more stubborn pride she shows, the more it makes one’s heart break for her.

Because he understood this, Feng Jin was very anxious.

Since Changsheng was born, never mind bawl and cry hysterically, even the times she cried when she had grievances were few.

Quickly, he rushed over only to see Changsheng squatting on the floor, she had curled up like a ball, the servants around tried to go forward and carry her but she used her hands to push them away.

“Changsheng — Changsheng—”

Feng Jin stepped forward and hugged Changsheng, she heard a familiar voice and cried even harder.

“Father — cries —I am in so much pain —”

Changsheng cried miserably, she kept raising her hands to hug his neck. She cried till her whole face was covered in tears. Her tears were salty, they flowed into her wounds and the pain was excruciating. He saw the red marks from her fingernails left on her face, anger surged through him and caused his entire being to tremble.

The servants around cowered in fear and knelt, Feng Jin controlled his anger and prevented himself from doing anything impulsive. “How did the young lady’s face become like this? What are you doing here, quickly get a doctor over! If the young lady’s face is scarred, who is going to take responsibility?”

Someone went to invite the doctor to the Feng manor, the rest of the servants knelt and shivered in fear.

Feng Ren and Feng Gui rushed over, they initially thought it was a small matter. Then they saw the marks on Changsheng’s face and their faces immediately became solemn.

“What happened? Who caused the little girl’s face to be hurt?”

Feng Ren is usually introverted, but now he appeared dreadful and solemn, the maidservants trembled as they spoke.

“Both Langjuns were playing with the young lady. As they played, she was accidentally hurt by the young Langjun who scratched her with his fingernails. The young lady cried looking for Second Langjun.”

Having heard that the hurt inflicted on Changsheng was related to his two sons, Feng Gui was so furious he almost couldn’t speak.

“Second brother, I will surely uphold justice for you regarding this incident. Those two insolent b**tards….”

If he claimed his children to be young and ignorant, as they often played and inevitably will get hurt, this could be a valid explanation. However, the appearance of a long wound inflicted by one’s fingernails which appeared on her face and was still bleeding, this was serious.

Feng Gui didn’t only need to discipline his two young sons. He also needed to reprimand and discipline his servants.

“Elder brother!” Feng Jin cut off Feng Gui’s words, he repressed his rage then said, “Let’s investigate this matter before concluding what happened. Changsheng has been spoilt by me, she is often very mischievous and her temperament is willful and stubborn, perhaps Changsheng was the one who bullied my two nephews instead.”

Keke, Feng Jin’s words were too polite as he tried to preserve Feng Gui’s dignity, it’d be a joke if he were unforgiving.

Both Feng Gui’s sons are three years old and almost two years old whereas Changsheng just passed one-and-a-half-years old. Isn’t it obvious who’s the bully?

Changsheng cries were so wrongful, she tapped Feng Jin’s shoulders and cried as she looked at her legs and aired her grievances.

“…I didn’t bully them… they caught me…it’s so painful… it hurts…”

Feng Jin comforted his daughter by caressing her head while they awaited the doctor’s arrival. Luckily, the child’s skin is tender, and the wound isn’t deep. Applying some external medication will do. Nonetheless, precisely because a child’s wounds heal faster, the healing process is itchier. The maidservants must be careful not to let Changsheng scratch it.

Wei Jingxian, who was in the backyard, heard the news, and she walked over quickly then she saw the bleeding wound on Changsheng’s face and almost lost her footing.

Presently, how the entire incident took place was evident.

Changsheng’s face was indeed scratched by the two children. With a fearsome face, Feng Gui examined both his sons’ fingernails, his anger was so unquenchable that he couldn’t speak.

Since she holds the matriarch status, no matter how displeased Feng Gui was with her, he still had to show respect and honor her. If her two sons were taken away from her, it is no different to a slap across her face.

It was still acceptable in previous years, although Madam Feng-Du’s performance wasn’t exceptional but it was still considered acceptable. She was conscientious in learning from mother how to manage the clan. But when her second son was born, her temperament became increasingly melancholic, she unveiled her true self and was constantly suspicious. Moreover, she was even jealous of her personal handmaid who was married and whom she already sent out, she ordered her to be slapped for no reason. Having borne two sons to continue the family’s line, she abused her powers and became unreasonable.

Things have gotten worse now; she is deeply entrenched in her demonic ways. She’s even unconcerned about the lives of her sons.

“Father—Father—”

They lowered their heads in repentance, it seemed they too understood the severity of their actions. Without waiting for Feng Gui to speak, Madam Feng-Du took her two children, one by the hand and the other on her shoulder, and brought them behind her. Seeing her impulsive actions, Feng Gui tolerated it, but his eyes were burning with menace.

She looked offended as she stared at Changsheng who was held in Feng Jin’s arms.

Without waiting for Wei Jingxian to speak, Madam Feng-Du hurriedly claimed innocence and said, “Sister-in-law may be born from a small clan, but you hail from an aristocratic family. During your early years of education, did your elders not teach you to support your husband and teach your child? Look at your wretched child, she doesn’t possess other qualities but her ability to tell on someone…”

Slap.

As if both things happened concurrently, when Feng Jin raised his hands to stop Feng Gui’s right hand from striking, Wei Jingxian already rushed forward to give her a tight slap.

Witnessing this, Feng Jin’s heart was secretly filled with helplessness.
