Chapter 203: Cousin Yi Lin
She knew it was impossible for her to win over any of the three major members.[notes] No matter how hard she tried, she couldnt move them. They treated her with indifference, neither neglecting nor favoring her. Brother Tian was her only angle.
Tian and Feng Wu didnt used to get along before. She used to secretly laugh at Feng Wu because of it. But now they were getting along and he was even doting on her. It was the first time she felt threatened.
She was jealous of Feng Wu. That girl got all the attention just because she was Madam Lans daughter. She didnt have to put any effort in at all!
She had to get rid of Feng Wu and make Feng house completely give up on that trash. She had wanted to kill Feng Wus child just to make her suffer. But thinking about it now, she knew it wasnt the right time. She was being too irrational. Wouldnt killing the child help Feng Wu? Then her shame wouldnt be an eyesore to everyone. As long as that illegitimate child existed they would remember the scandal and the shame Feng Wu brought to the house. Feng Wu that slut, she gave birth to a child out of wedlock, is what they will think every time they saw the baby.
Feng Ting calmed down after thinking it over. She stopped being so anxious. She wasnt the only one who wanted Feng Wu gone either. If she knew Shui at all, she knew that girl would act against Feng Wu soon. She wasnt sure what Shui planned but she needed to be ready to add to the flames when the time came.
Feng Wu was playing in the garden with Little Bun when a maid walked in with a girl. The girl was about the same age as Feng Wu.
Second Young Miss, Miss Yi Lin is here. The maid stood to the side respectfully.
Xiao Wu! Why didnt you come visit me when you came back? I dont have anyone to talk to. Ive been so bored since you left. Yi Lin dismissed the maid with, You leave first. I have some things I want to talk to your master about.
The maids all knew Yi Lin and their master were on good terms, so they obediently obeyed.
After all the maids left Yi Lin stepped over toward Feng Wu and reached out to affectionately hold her hand. But unexpectedly the Feng Wu who had always been close to her stepped back to avoid her.
Surprising. When did this fool get so smart? Had she done something? No, not possible. Feng Wu was too stupid. Yi Lin was confused.
Feng Wu had taken Little Bun and backed up two steps. Who are you? She stared at the stranger in front of her.
Whats wrong with you Xiao Wu? Im Yi Lin, your cousin. Your aunts daughter. How could you forget me?! Was it amnesia? But she hadnt heard anything about it. Maybe Feng Wu was pretending to not know her because she was mad about that whole pregnancy thing? It was her idea that got Feng Wu into the situation
Xiao Wu, are you still angry with me? Because I suggested you go to Heavy Fog forest and look for the legendary essence fruit? You have to believe me, I never thought something like that would happen in the middle of the forest. I would never do something like that to you on purpose. I wish I could switch places with you. Dont be mad anymore OK? Yi Lins eyes got red and she brought a handkerchief to her cheeks.
Feng Wu should have rushed over and comforted her. After all she was Feng Wus only friend since they were little.
But it was a sad miscalculation. The Feng Wu that Yi Lin knew, the one that regarded her as a friend and close sister, had died during childbirth. The Feng Wu in front of her was a different soul from another world. And this Feng Wu wasnt so gullible. This Feng Wu wouldnt trust a person who tried to emotionally manipulate her.
It might be because Feng Wu had always been an unusual child who possessed an innate sense of self, she could read other people easily. Those who were sincere, those who werent, she could tell.
Like when she first met Tian, it was because she sensed his sincerity and kindness that she unequivocally accepted him as her brother.
Feng Ting on the other hand was not good. Though she claimed to be her older sister the only thing Feng Wu sensed from her was hate, so naturally Feng Wu refused to acknowledge her. This attitude wasn't suspicious because Original Feng Wu never paid attention to Feng Ting either.
Feng Wu could tell Yi Lin didnt like her. Unable to sense any kindness from the person in front of her, Feng Wu naturally wouldnt believe her. Even if Feng Wu wasnt smart, she had good instincts. She was like an animal that instinctively knew to avoid danger.
Yi Lin stood there and cried for a full five minutes but Feng Wu didnt show a single sign of concern. It was clear Feng Wu wans't interested in comforting her, she was just standing there holding Little Bun. Yi Lin was at her wits end. What was she supposed to do in a situation like this? Her act was useless if no one acknowledged it.
Luckily for Yi Lin Madam Lan saved her. Yi Lin, whats the matter. You two cousins normally get a long so well. Whats going on? The girls were like two peas in a pod so why was the atmosphere so tense?
It only got stranger as Madam Lan got closer. One was crying while the other stood there like a stone. Why were they so unfriendly with each other?
Auntie. At last! Yi Lin was so relieved. She hadnt known how to get out of the situation. Why was Feng Wu suddenly so hard to deal with? Had going outside been too much of a shock for her?
Yi Lin, stop crying. Come tell your auntie whats wrong. Madam Lan walked over and wiped Yi Lins tears.
Its nothing, -sniffle-. I was just complaining how I wasnt by Xiao Wus side when the accident happened. Then afterwards I couldnt help her. I felt sad. Of course Yi Lin wasnt going to tell the truth. The only ones who knew about Feng Wu's accident were her and Feng Wu.
If Grandfather Feng found out she had a hand in Feng Wus pregnancy, she knew wouldn't escape unscathed.
Her fathers side of the family was minor and had no power. She couldnt risk losing the affections of her father and uncle.
