Chapter 213: You're Making Me Laugh
But it wasnt just their temperaments, there was a deeper reason they didnt get along. That reason was Feng Hang.[notes]
Back in the when, Grandfather Fengs top choice for Hangs wife was the current Madam Qui.[notes] The Qui house also liked her and wanted her as a daughter-in-law. Madam Quis family knew so they were waiting for the proposal before declaring their preference for Feng House.
Madam Qui was a fierce and arrogant woman. She liked her men to not only be handsome, but masculine as well. Hang was a bronze god with a taciturn expression like an iceberg.
The Qui son was a fair skinned pretty man. This kind of man was certainly attractive to many ladies, unfortunately Madam Qui was not one of them. Her choice of husband would naturally be Feng Hang.
But things didnt turn out the way she wanted them to. Feng Hang ended up falling in love with Madam Lan. It was doubly worse because she had always disliked the woman.
Madam Lan was a beautiful and honest woman and she had had countless suitors. Her manners were so loveable people couldnt help but like her.
Such an honest and emotive woman would never mix well with the hot-tempered Madam Qui. In her eyes, Madam Lan had always been a spineless embarrassment of a woman.
She never imagined the woman she looked down on would get her position.
Feng house joined with Lan house and Qui house proceeded with their proposal. Madam Quis family accepted of course. It would have been strange if they didnt. Even if it wasnt their first choice, the Qiu house was still an impressive thousand-year-old name.
So in the end Madam Lan married into Feng house and Madam Qui married into Qui house. The two women lived their lives without intersecting for the most part.
Madam Qui lived happily with her husband. The pretty face she thought was girly was actually very manly. She eventually fell in love with him and the two lived a happy life together.
She always thought her life was better than Madam Lans. After all her husband didnt take any concubines, but Feng house had a concubine. The oldest was even concubine-born. Ha!
Madam Quis children were all geniuses and beauties of the country. Her son was a recognized genius and her eldest daughter was a renowned beauty with countless suitors.
Madam Lans daughter, on the hand, was a broken cultivator. On top of that her character, manners, and heart were all bad. She was constantly getting in trouble and even had a child out of wedlock! Feng house lost a lot of face because of her.
All these things gave Madam Qui a sense superiority over Madam Lan.
But when she found out that her precious daughter was beaten by Feng Wu, a broken cultivator, she was furious. How could she not want justice for her daughter?!
She didnt care the reasons why; she only knew her daughter had been beaten by a cripple cultivator. Madam Qui aggressively entered Feng house with her entourage; her demeanor overwhelmingly aggressive.
As soon as she entered, she demanded for Feng Wu.
Bai was frowning next to her. His thoughts were rebellious. Was his mother sure about this? Grandfather Qui and Grandfather Feng were good friends with each other. Running over to Feng house and making such a ruckus. Are you sure Grandfather Qui wont be pissed when he finds out?
Shui wasnt thinking as deeply as her brother. She was only thinking how great it would be when Feng Wu knelt in front of her and apologized.
Bing stared straight ahead with cold eyes. Her whole person was as cold as her name.[notes]
Ning Fei and Lu Zhong wished they could disappear into the wall. They didnt want to be at the vice-captains house making a fuss. Auntie, cant we solve this matter in a more civilized manner?! Can you not drag others down with you? Have a thought for the insignificant people here!
Jin Li, who never liked drama, really wanted to leave. Unfortunately there was no way out.
Madam Qui, whats the reason for the sudden visit? As head of Feng house, Papa Feng had brought his son to the main hall to greet their guests as soon as he got word of Madam Quis arrival. He didnt expect Madam Qui to have such an aggressive and imposing attitude. It was obvious at a glance she was here to cause trouble.
Tian used his eyes to ask Bai what was going on.
Bai gave a meaningful glance at his sister before shrugging very slightly.
Tian immediately understood his friends gesture.
The translation was, my mother found out about my sister being beaten and came here because of it. I didnt want all this, but my mother refused to listen! So now here we are.
Tian knew his friend preferred to resolve issues by himself without involving his family. Madam Qui's presence today was definitely not Bais idea.
For an important matter of course! Your daughter assaulted my daughter! Twice! How do you want to resolve this matter?!
Xiao Wu hit Qui Shui? Did he hear right? No cant be true.
Feng Hangs first reaction was disbelief. As her father, he knew perfectly well his own daughters ability. Xiao Wu didnt have the ability to beat Qui Shui. Never mind beat, Xiao Wu even touching Qui Shui would have been unbelievable.
Instead of staying at home and staying out of trouble you come to my house and start talking nonsense? Listen if my daughter had that kind of strength, Id be walking on cloud nine here.
Though Papa Feng had a lot of thoughts on the matter the only thing he said out loud was, Are you sure it was Xiao Wu and not someone pretending to be Xiao Wu?
From his words it was clear he didnt believe it. Honestly Madam Qui had a hard time believing it as well. What kind of strength did Shui have? What kind of strength did Feng Wu have? It would have been more believable if it was Shui beating Feng Wu.
If it hadnt been for Bings repeated assurances and witness testimonial from the boys, she wouldnt have come all the way to Feng house.
