Chapter 285 - Their Suspicions I
Smack!
Tang Yu’s palm flew across Hong Yu’s face.
Hong Yu dared not resist and took the tight slap.
Her cheek was red and swollen with the mark of Tang Yu’s five fingers.
“Don’t even mention that ungrateful bitch! When Master was injured, I was the one who accompanied her for ten years! When her daughter knew that she was injured, she went missing without a trace! Luckily Master was aware of her ungrateful ways and did not tell her about Fengyun Manor. Or else, your Fengyun Manor would have been wasted away by her!”
Hong Yu’s body trembled.
‘Impossible!
‘That is impossible!
‘The master was so kind and gentle, her daughter would never be an ungrateful and heartless wolf.’
If not because of the message left by their master, the Fengyun clan would have investigated their master’s background.
But their master once warned that no one from the Fengyun clan might investigate her family no matter what happened.
Therefore, until today, even the Fengyun members did not know their master’s real identity.
Only very few people had ever met the master.
Other than her loyal advisors, only she alone knew what her master looked like.
As much as she wanted to verify Tang Yu’s words, she did not dare to pry into her master’s family!
That was a promise that the whole Fengyun clan had made earlier!
“Hong Yu, how dare a lowly servant like you get in the way of the young lady?” Wen Feng laughed coldly.
When he was still on the outer grounds, Hong Yu had often admonished him as the guardian.
Now that the tables had turned, it was his turn to torment that woman.
“Everything in Fengyun Manor and each piece of the land belongs to the young lady! Since this is the best courtyard in Fengyun Manor, naturally it belongs to the young lady! How dare a lowly servant like you put your head into this! You really think the elders from Fengyun Manor would protect you now? Don’t forget, the lady is the master’s only disciple, that makes her the only successor of the Fengyun clan!”
‘Nevermind about her daughter, whose existence was still unproven. Even if she really does exist, the master had passed her commanding seal to Lady Tang Yu. That proved that she trusted Tang Yu more.
‘Therefore the successor to the Fengyun clan should be her!’
“Wen Feng, go look for more people to tidy up the Fengyu Gardens, I will stay here from tonight onward!” Tang Yu chuckled coldly. She walked in front of Hong Yu and cynically said, “Hong’er, don’t think that just because my master had helped you in the past, you can do as you like! I know that you won’t listen to me, but who gave you permission to approach my master by acting all pitiful?”
She was intentionally being mean to Hong Yu. Naturally, it was because Hong Yu was personally taken in by Rong Yan. Even more so because Rong Yan had treated Hong Yu very well all this while.
She was furious, envious, and disgusted–
Everything Rong Yan had must only be hers and hers alone; she would not allow other people to take them from her.
It did not matter if it was her daughter, or Hong Yu, whom Rongyan had felt sorry about!
Tang Yu did not even spare Hong Yu a look as she strode into the courtyard.
Looking at Tang Yu’s back as she left, Hong Yu clasped her palms tightly. Her eyes were filled with enmity, guilt, and helplessness…
In the end she could only walk away. She had no way to stop Tang Yu.
In the Guardians’ Hall of Fengyun Manor, the rest of the guardians were awaiting Hong Yu’s return.
They became excited when they saw Hong Yu walking in. When they saw the palm print on her cheek, they burst out in rage.
“Hong Yu, did she slap you?” A young man in gray robes asked, gritting his teeth.
When the fifth elder was still around, she was not as arrogant. Once he had left, her true self had been exposed.
With the master’s character, would she really accept this kind of disciple?
