Chapter 743: The Truth About the Dumplings

During these two to three years, Shen Yunya’s network of connections had become extensive . And now, she was also a disciple of Shang Institution, where, one by one, the masters would protect her and help to cover up anything bad she had done . So, Shen Yunya was basically untouchable for the time being .

“After I died, did Big brother Jin eat the dumplings?” Feng Tianlan asked .

Thinking back to Xi Jin’s decline and death wish during that period, Xi Lin nodded and said, “Imperial Brother almost didn’t want to live at the time . It was Shen Yunya who took a bowl of dumplings to Imperial Brother . Then Imperial Brother no longer got drunk day and night, and he pulled himself together . I remember that Imperial Brother said they were dumplings you had personally insisted on making, even though you were terminally ill . They were put in the icehouse by Shen Yunya to be frozen . So, he was like this . ”

Recalling how with extreme sorrow Xi Jin had eaten those dumplings that night like they were his last hope when everything seemed completely hopeless, Feng Tianlan closed her eyes, finding it difficult to bear .

When Xi Lin saw that Feng Tianqi didn’t look well, she suddenly got a bad feeling . “Dai’er, did you not make the dumplings?” she asked . “Or what’s the matter? Don’t tell me that Shen Yunya put some bewitching potion in them?”

Otherwise, why else would Imperial Brother believe Shen Yunya time and time again and insist on marrying her?

Feng Tianlan shook her head, struggling to speak . “Those dumplings were made from my bones, my face, and eyes . ”

“What?” Xi Lin stared in horror . Had she heard her wrong?

She must’ve heard wrong . Or maybe Dai’er meant something else .

“The soup was made with the bones from my knees, the dumpling skin was made from my face, and the filling was made from my eyes . They were all personally taken from my body by those two people . ”

Before Feng Tianlan had finished speaking, Xi Lin felt her stomach roil, and then she ran to one side to directly bend over and vomit . That was even more terrible than some bewitching potion . How could Shen Yunya do that?

Feng Tianlan gently closed her eyes, and two drops of tears rolled down her cheeks . Even if nearly three years had passed, whenever she remembered the betrayal, and whenever she thought about what Big Brother Jin had eaten, her heart couldn’t help but ache .

Because whom she’d once thought of as her best cousin and the good Jiang Ying had betrayed a decade long relationship and fed poor unsuspecting Xi Jin those dumplings .

Apart from them, how many other innocent people had paid the price in various ways for Jiang Ying and Shen Yunya’s selfish desires? How could her heart not ache at the thought of it?

Xi Lin vomited until green bile came out . Her entire body felt weak as she slumped to the ground, and she couldn’t help but cry for a long time . She covered her face with her hands as she cried and said, “I’m so sorry . I didn’t know . We didn’t know anything, and we still…”

They hadn’t known about any of this . They had chatted and laughed with Feng Tianlan’s murderer . And now Imperial Brother was about to marry Feng Tianlan’s murderer, and those dumplings…

What would happen if Imperial Brother found out? Would he go crazy?

At the thought of what could happen, Xi Lin’s heart filled with uncontrollable guilt and fear . What wretched things had they done in the past few years? As good friends, why hadn’t they discovered this earlier?

To let her death be in vain for nearly three years .

“So, Sister Lin, I can’t tell Big Brother Jin that I’m Dai’er . It will destroy him,” Feng Tianlan said as she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes .

If there had been no incident with the dumplings, she could’ve already acknowledged him . Why wait until now?

Just thinking of all this, all the things that Xi Lin wanted to say eventually just became, “I’m sorry . ”

Even if she was in favor of not revealing this matter at this time because she didn’t want to destroy Imperial Brother .

“Don’t tell anyone else about this . Mobai also doesn’t know about it . If he were to find out, he’d kill Big Brother Jin, even if he doesn’t know what really happened . ”
