Chapter 202: Plan Failure
Chapter 202: Plan Failure
People didnt have to live in fear of the dragon anymore. Ao was hailed as a hero and the king gave him the princesss hand in marriage. Ao and the princess married and lived happily ever after. The End.
The person who played the part of Ao was a handsome man from the kingdom by the name of Hua Sheng. Madam Lan liked the actor and went to every play he appeared in. If he was in it, shed be there.
They were at the point in the story where Ao returned home to find it burned to the ground. It was an emotional scene were the hero vowed he would avenge everyone, has father, mother, brothers, sisters, relatives, friends, the entire village!
Wuuu, wuuu. Ao is so pitiful, losing his family so young. Madam Lan dabbed her eyes with her tear soaked handkerchief.
Feng Wu: But why is the dragon made of fabric?
Well it was a fake dragon of course. It was basically made out of magical fabric that when imbued with fire magic would give people the illusion of a dragon.
Feng Wus eyes were sharp and she could tell from a glance that the dragon flying around was fake.
Feng Wu wondered why the man cried so much. Why declare vengeance on a piece of fabric? He was so strange.
Wuuu hiccup! Madam Lan had cried so much she hiccupped.
The sword is obviously a regular iron sword. Why are they calling it a holy sword?[notes] Feng Wu stared at the man on stage holding the holy sword made of iron and at the dragon made out of fabric. She watched them fight with an expressionless face. It didnt make sense.
Wuuu Madam Lan bit her handkerchief. She was never going go to a play with Xiao Wu ever again! Cant let a person enjoy the story in peace!
Madam Lan, who had dreams of watching plays with her daughter, had her dreams dashed. She didnt dare ask Feng Wu again.
Well if mother and daughter couldnt watch plays together then they could cook! Madam Lan smiled just thinking about all the wonderful cakes they would make together.
Madam Lan sent the servants out of the kitchen so she and her daughter could experience the joy of cooking, but when the finished product came out Madam Lan truly regretted the decision.
Madam Lan: What is this? Obviously followed the same steps so why is the thing my daughter made all black and smoking? Is it safe to eat?
Feng Wu stared at her mother with bright expectant eyes, waiting for her mother to try a bite.
Madam Lan wasn't sure she'd survive if she ate it.
Auntie Lian was standing to the side wondering the very same thing.
No never mind. Im afraid to do that. Just practice some more. What Madam Lan really wanted to say was, "Please never cook again!" but that cute expression she couldnt bare to.
They ended up eating the biscuits Madam Lan made. The ones Feng Wu made was quietly removed and disposed of as lethal weapons.
Da! Da! Da! Little Bun grinned, his toothless mouth open and dripping drool. He held the rattle like it was a toy as he banged it against the bed furiously. He was having fun all by himself.
Young Master, heres some delicious milk. Its from a level 5 beast. The maid ignored the nanny shengmu beast and offered Little Bun a bottle of milk.
The shengmu had been peacefully standing when the maid walked into the room toward Little Bun. It immediately glared a warning at the maid to not come any closer, otherwise it wouldn't be nice.
Everyone knew shengmu beasts were the best babysitters. But if it regarded you as an enemy it wouldnt hesitate to lash out at you.
She stopped trying to move closer. Shengmu beast, youre Little White right? The young miss asked me to bring the little master this milk. Here, you can feed it to him.
Pop!
Not only did Little White reject the milk, it knocked the milk to the floor.
Why did you do that?! She was angry but she couldnt reason with the beast so she picked the bottle up and left.
She walked to a tiny obscure corner.
How did it go? Did the kid drink it? Another woman in maid uniform hurried to the first maid.
No Sister Ming. The shengmu beast was watching and wouldnt let the kid have any.
Useless! Such a simple thing and you couldnt do it. Why did the eldest miss even save you for?! The new maid cursed as she pointed at the first maid.
The first maid kept her head down as she was being scolded, but in her heart was a rebellious thought: if it was so easy why didnt you do it?
After a few more choice words, Ming shook her sleeve out and left to report to her master.
Sorry Master, the girl failed. Ming kept her head respectfully down.
That child is a stain to the house. I wanted to save the Feng reputation, I did not expect you would let me down so much
Feng Ting looked coldly at Ming. A glimmer of something flashed in her eyes.
Eldest Young Miss, I will not fail next time. Please have mercy! Ming threw herself down begging in fright.
Forget it. Upon reconsideration, its probably too early to get rid of the child anyway.
Ming was unwilling. But Miss, letting Xiao Ye[ID] off is too good. That loser Feng Wu doesnt deserve your kindness!
Dont worry, Im not letting her off the hook. Im the eldest daughter. Ill never let that trash take my place in Brother Tians heart.
Feng Ting knew she was behaving irrationally, but she couldnt help it. She felt her reason snap whenever she saw Brother Tian doting on Feng Wu.
Grandfather Feng treated her with indifference and her father didnt love her. Brother Tian was the only one good to her. Their relationship opened a lot of doors for her. Primary of which was access to other aristocrats and their direct heirs.
Shed worked hard to make sure Tian saw her in the best light. She knew he admired the same kind of woman Grandfather did. Both men liked women who reflected them, strong and intelligent. If it werent for the fact Papa Feng loved Madam Lan so much, Madam Lan, with her temper, would have never been able to step through the front gates of Feng House and gotten Grandfathers approval.
