護花近衛 - 第3065章 暗害許詩嵐 - 清風書屋

"I know my life is as good as over. Nitian is dead, and I have nothing left to hope for. I want revenge on Shipian now, but I don't dare take it—even if I dared to offend my elder brother, I would never dare offend you, Second Sister-in-law!" Feng Tianhu said. "Right now I only want to vent my anger for Nitian, to let his spirit rest in peace! I know too that Shipian is the last of the Feng bloodline, and that no matter what happens, Father will never do anything to him. So in the end, Nitian died for nothing!"

"I asked you, Tianhu—what exactly are you trying to say?" Although Dongfang Xiaocui was displeased that her husband had shielded Xu Shilan outside the family, Feng Shihua was, after all, her son; for Feng Tianhu to speak of her son this way naturally angered her. Even though the two had once been partners, she would not give Feng Tianhu a pleasant face. "Have you come to complain to me? So what if Shipian did kill him? My Dongfang family's grandson—do you think you can condemn him just because you say so? Frankly, the Feng family does not have that kind of power!"

"Of course... Second Sister-in-law, I never said I wanted to move against Shipian..." Feng Tianhu said with a bitter look on his face. "Second Sister-in-law, please hear me out... What I mean is, I cannot do anything to Shipian, but I would like to deal with my second brother..."

"You want to deal with Tianlin? Do you think that is possible?" Dongfang Xiaocui was naturally fond of Feng Tianqi—if not, how could she possibly be so jealous as to move against Xu Shilan and her mother?

"No, that is not what I mean. I want to deal with Xu Shilan. Once Xu Shilan is dead, my second brother will surely grieve, and that will achieve my purpose of dealing with him..." Feng Tianhu said. "I only want to make him grieve a little. I lost a child, so he must lose one too—otherwise the hatred in my heart can find no peace!"

"Oh? You mean to move against Xu Shilan?" Dongfang Xiaocui was briefly taken aback, yet she was no longer as resistant as before. She nodded and said, "Then how do you plan to go about it?"

Feng Tianhu's proposal rather stirred Dongfang Xiaocui. After all, Xu Shilan was someone she had long wanted to eliminate; that Feng Tianqi secretly cared for Xu Shilan outside the family filled Dongfang Xiaocui with fury. So with an opportunity like this, how could Dongfang Xiaocui let it pass?

Moreover, Feng Nitian had very likely been killed by her own son, Feng Shihua. If Feng Tianhu clung to the matter and would not let it go, then even the Dongfang family could not interfere in the Feng family's affairs—this was, after all, their private business. Dongfang Xiaocui's earlier words had merely been meant to frighten Feng Tianhu.

Now Feng Tianhu was saying that killing Xu Shilan would quell his rage—a life for a life. Nothing could be better than that!

At this thought, Dongfang Xiaocui nodded. To be honest, she too feared that Feng Tianhu would cling stubbornly to the matter of Feng Shihua's "murder." The barefoot fears not the shod; if Feng Tianhu went mad and blew the matter up, Feng Shihua would be lucky to escape with only a layer of skin peeled off—and that was not what Dongfang Xiaocui wanted to see.

In their earlier partnership, she had been somewhat wary of Feng Tianhu. Jealous as Dongfang Xiaocui was, she nonetheless knew how to protect her own son. How could she not know that Feng Nitian wanted to contend for the position of young heir? So whenever she worked with Feng Tianhu, she always kept something in reserve.

But now things were different. Feng Nitian was dead, and Feng Shihua was in any case the Feng family's only grandchild of the third generation. In the future, Old Master Feng would inevitably name him the young heir. That was why Dongfang Xiaocui was now willing to work with Feng Tianhu calmly and reasonably.
