Feng Wu only snorted inwardly . She couldn’t care less about Feng Liu’s baby, but if Feng Liu died today, people would blame her for it .
And when that happened, Zuo Qingyu’s plan would have worked, and no one would believe Feng Wu .
At that thought, Feng Wu narrowed her eyes and warned Master Gu, “I hope your diagnosis will withstand my scrutiny . ”
“You — You —” Master Gu was so angry that his beard bristled .
Feng Wu ignored him and quickly went into the bedchamber .
She was very familiar with the room, because she used to sleep here for years . However, the layout and decorations had completely changed by now .
Feng Liu lay on the big bed . Her pale face was covered in a cold sweat, and her breathing was so weak that one could barely detect it .
Dugu Mengxi sat next to the bed and held her hand tightly . The rims of his eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had been crying .
Apart from Dugu Mengxi, two other fiercing-looking old maids were in the room as well .
One was Granny Sun, Feng Liu’s old wet nurse, and the other was Granny Chang, Dugu Mengxi’s old maid .
Dugu Mengxi turned around when he heard the footsteps and immediately saw Feng Wu .
He immediately flared up and trembled with anger .
“How dare you come here?! How dare you!” Dugu Mengxi glared at Feng Wu and pointed at the door . “You’re not welcome here . Go away! Now!”
Feng Wu wasn’t alone . Seeing his reaction, Chaoge and Qiuling immediately blocked Dugu Mengxi’s way .
Chaoge frowned and was furious . “Watch your attitude! You can’t talk to Xiao Wu like that!”
Dugu Mengxi was so furious that he laughed . He then tried to push Feng Wu out of the room .
However —
Chaoge pushed him first .
Crash —
Dugu Mengxi fell backward and landed on his back . The pain made him suck in his breath .
“Damn it! Granny Chang, kill her!”
Dugu Mengxi was no fighter, but Granny Chang was relentless . However, Feng Wu spoke before the granny could make a move .
“Do you hate Feng Liu that much?”
What?
Those words baffled Dugu Mengxi at first, but he immediately realized what she had said, and glared at her . “Bullsh*t! Of course I don’t hate her! I love her more than my own life!”
Feng Wu glanced at him . “If that’s the case, why do you want to see her dead? That’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone demonstrating their love that way . ”
“Why would I want her dead? You’re not making any sense! This is pure slander!” Dugu Mengxi yelled at Feng Wu .
Feng Wu smiled . “I can save Feng Liu, but you’re telling me to go away . If I do that, she’ll die . ”
“You can save her? Hahaha!” Dugu Mengxi’s eyes were bloodshot red with rage . “You’ve been bullying her since you were little . You took everything from her, and you’re the reason she’s lying here . But now, you’re telling me that you can save her? That’s just preposterous!”
Feng Wu finally saw why Dugu Mengxi loved Feng Liu so much .
Feng Liu had definitely been playing the helpless bunny around Dugu Mengxi, making him want to protect her with all his might .
Dugu Mengxi’s older sister and brother were both distinguished figures, and he had always been the one protected . Only around Feng Liu did he feel like the tough man he had always wanted to be . As a matter of fact, he needed Feng Liu more than she did him, because she made him feel that he was needed .
