Fine, you don’t gossip. You’re just forcing me to confess. Clenching her fists, Feng Liu wanted to cry again.

But Lady Northern Feng was simply too intimidating. Under her intense gaze, Feng Liu had no choice but to tell everyone how she had lied in Wanping Town… There were a lot of tears.

With Lady Northern Feng on the side, Feng Liu couldn’t make excuses for herself — whenever she tried, Lady Northern Feng would shoot a murderous look at her.

After hearing the truth, Feng Yanfeng almost cried…

What kind of idiot was this Feng Liu?!

Why didn’t she tell him before this?!

He wouldn’t have been so proud if she had! He would have agreed to the marriage proposal, and when the Ning family wanted out, well, they would have had to pay to do so!

But now it was too late for anything. Feng Yanfeng wanted to stomp his foot in frustration.

Seeing the look on Feng Yanfeng’s face, Feng Wu sneered.

To Feng Yanfeng, everything was about his personal gain, and even his own daughter wasn’t exempt from that.

She knew that Feng Yanfeng had to be considering her a much more important chess piece than Feng Liu now.

She was right —

After making Feng Liu confess her sin, Lady Northern Feng said in an indifferent tone, “Anyway, Master Feng, I’m going to claim Feng Wu as my goddaughter, and your wife said I needed your consent. So, are you going to give your consent or not?”

That tone again…

Of course Feng Yanfeng wouldn’t dare say no. Moreover, this would be a great opportunity for him to become familiar with Northern Feng Mansion. Feng Yanfeng would have to be an idiot to say no.

“Of course yes!” Feng Yanfeng smiled obsequiously.

Feng Wu smiled.

“What yes? I won’t accept it!”

Just then, an angry voice rang out from up on the wall.

Feng Xun jumped down, as if he was ready to bite someone’s nose off.

“Smack!”

Lady Northern Feng smacked him on the head. “Shut up!”

Feng Xun pleaded, “Mother…”

Lady Northern Feng snapped, “You have no say in this!”

Feng Xun then turned his pleading eyes in the direction of the wall.

Feng Wu followed his gaze in bewilderment.

Without making a sound —

Jun Linyuan’s imposing figure appeared.

He was as unapproachable as an iceberg and even his aura said “off limits”!

Feng was behind him as usual.

“Your Royal Highness!”

Everyone was surprised to see Jun Linyuan here!

Feng Yanfeng rushed over and greeted the crown prince with an ingratiating smile. His eyes sparkled!

The crown prince was in his home?! Feng Yanfeng couldn’t believe his eyes.

Feng Xun kept tipping Jun Linyuan the wink, so hard that his eyelid was going to cramp.

“Aunt,” Jun Linyuan greeted Lady Northern Feng.

Lady Northern Feng had been raised by the empress dowager herself. Jun Linyuan, who had lost his mother when he was little, had grown up in the empress dowager’s Cining Palace as well. That was to say, Lady Northern Feng used to take care of Jun Linyuan when he was a little boy.

Lady Northern Feng was glad to see Jun Linyuan. “Junjun, what are you doing here? Ah Xun dragged you into this, didn’t he? I’m warning you: don’t help him. He’s so spoiled; he’s not getting what he wants this time!”

Jun Linyuan darted a glance at Feng Xun. Hear that? My aunt has made up her mind. It’s not that I don’t want to help you. I just can’t.

Feng Xun’s heart sank!

No!

Have you forgotten who you are? You’re the invincible Jun Linyuan! Stomp your foot and an earthquake will shake up the Junwu Empire! My mum might kick me around, but she won’t do that to you!

Feng Xun pleaded with his eyes. Boss Jun! Help me! You’re the crown prince!

Jun Linyuan turned to Lady Northern Feng. “Aunt, you’re…”

“Junjun, look, isn’t Xiao Wu great?” Lady Northern Feng grinned. “I’m going to have a new goddaughter. Aren’t you happy for me?”

Jun Linyuan cleared his throat. “As long as you’re happy, Aunt.”

Feng Xun kept silent.

Lady Northern Feng chuckled. “I’m happy! I’m so happy!”

Feng Xun glared at Jun Linyuan!

He had brought Boss Jun all the way here to stop this from happening… but what happened to his authority?!

Feng Xun stared so hard that his eyelids began to twitch, but Jun Linyuan seemed to be in a great mood as he chatted happily with Lady Northern Feng.

Seeing this, Feng Yanfeng found Lady Northern Feng even more impressive.

“Well, since Miss Feng Wu is Your Royal Highness’s cousin now… how about a gift?” As considerate as he always was, Feng took the hint as soon as Jun Linyuan darted a look at his own jade pendant.

It was a gift from Master Dugu of Wandering Temple. Not only had it been blessed, His Royal Highness’s name was also inscribed on it. It would help her cultivation tremendously.

Jun Linyuan was waiting for that line.

Taking off the pendant, he tossed it to Feng Wu. “There.”

Wow!

Everyone in the room was excited!

It was a gift from His Royal Highness!

Although he only did it for Lady Northern Feng’s sake, it was still a great honor for Feng Wu!

Feng Wu wasn’t going to take Jun Linyuan’s gift, not to mention that he had tossed it at her. Did he take her for a beggar or something?

She was about to throw it back when she felt a cool sensation. A mild streak of spiritual essence ran all the way from her hand to her dantian!

Soon, Feng Wu felt her dantian fill up…

This was great for her cultivation!

Feng Wu was elated!

Feng Xun stared at Feng Wu. Weren’t you all mean to Boss Jun and wanted to stay away from him? Give it back! Where’s your honor?!

However, to his frustration, Feng Wu held the jade pendant with both hands and gave Jun Linyuan a sweet smile. “Thank you, Your Royal Highness.”

Feng Xun kept silent.

Lady Northern Feng added, “You should say, ‘Thank you, Cousin Jun.’”

Feng Xun shouted, “No! I don’t want her as my sister! I don’t!”

Lady Wang and Feng Liu were roused from their astonishment.

The mother and daughter had been overwhelmed by jealousy when they saw the gift His Royal Highness gave Feng Wu.

All those were supposed to be Feng Liu’s!

1However, they were thrilled to hear Feng Xun’s protest.

So what if Lady Northern Feng liked Feng Wu? Feng Xun didn’t! He would bully Feng Wu so much that she would live a miserable life!

Grabbing Feng Xun by his ear, Lady Northern Feng said, “Why not? Speak! Give me a good reason or I’ll rip your ear off!”

“Mum, that hurts —”

“Say it!” Lady Northern Feng snapped.

Sob —

Feng Xun was so embarrassed. How was he supposed to say it in front of so many people?

Hence, he murmured something.

“What? Can’t hear you.” Lady Northern Feng frowned.

Feng Xun raised his voice a tiny bit.

“What? Man up and say it out loud!” Lady Northern Feng smacked Feng Xun on the head.

Poor Young Lord Feng. His mother was the only person in this world that could intimidate him like this.

“I said I want to marry Feng Wu!” Feng Xun finally summoned up his courage and shouted out those words.

That astonished everyone.

Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.

Nor did Lady Northern Feng.

The rest of the crowd was equally silent.

Lady Wang, Feng Yanfeng, and Feng Liu were scared out of their wits!

Young Lord Feng of Northern Feng Mansion wanted to marry Feng Wu… as in that Failure Wu.

Lady Northern Feng was dumbfounded!

This brat wanted to marry Feng Wu? Why didn’t he say so before?! She wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble to claim a goddaughter if she had known! She would have to try to think of a way to make Feng Wu her daughter-in-law!

“Why her?” Jun Linyuan turned his cold gaze on Feng Xun.

“I… I…”

That reminded Lady Northern Feng: that was right. The silly boy never acted like he actually liked the girl. What was he up to?

It wasn’t that Lady Northern Feng didn’t trust her son. It was just that Feng Xun had done too many silly things.

“Speak!”

“I… No one will marry her if I don’t!” Feng Xun yelled at the top of his lungs.

Smack! Lady Northern Feng smacked Feng Xun hard on the forehead and he almost fell to the floor.

Lady Northern Feng was vexed. Why on earth did he say that? Little Feng Wu was so pretty, so smart, and so amazing. Who wouldn’t want to marry her?!

“Little Feng Wu is crippled and no good family would want her! At least, no one more talented or more influential than me would want to marry her! I’m her best choice!” Feng Xun yelled.

1For a moment, Lady Northern Feng actually thought Feng Xun made sense.

But then, Jun Linyuan casually commented, “Are you sure you’re not going to lose interest in her after two days?”

Feng Xun stared at Jun Linyuan in disbelief!

Boss Jun! I didn’t bring you here to undermine my plan!

However, Lady Northern Feng flared up at those words!

Smack!

She smacked Feng Xun on the head again!

1“Arghh —”

That really hurt!

Feng Xun almost choked.

His head was swimming and he could see stars.

Lady Northern Feng was genuinely angry. “Feng Xun! I didn’t say anything when you messed with other girls, but stay away from my Xiao Wu! She’s my daughter and that’s my final verdict!”

Jun Linyuan nodded. “Feng Xun really should do something about his vice.”

Feng Xun glared at Jun Linyuan.

Lady Northern Feng nodded at Jun Linyuan. “Junjun, you’re such a good boy, not like that brat Ah Xun. Thanks to him, my lifespan has been shortened by at least a few years! I can keep an eye on him when he’s at home, but you’ll have to do that job for me when he goes out. Don’t let him bully my Xiao Wu!”

Jun Linyuan nodded. “Of course, Aunt.”

1Feng Xun glared at Jun Linyuan.

Lady Northern Feng was elated and added, “No inappropriate thoughts about Xiao Wu either!”

Jun Linyuan had never been this obedient. “Whatever you say, Aunt.”

Feng Xun glared at Jun Linyuan.

1He had never known that Boss Jun could be this docile!

Lady Northern Feng was pleased, for she knew how reliable Jun Linyuan was. When he said yes, Feng Xun had no chance whatsoever.

She then shot a warning glance at Feng Xun. “She’s your sister from now on; treat her like one. I’m only going to say it once!”

Feng Xun kept silent.

Feng Yanfeng didn’t have any doubts now. For some unknown reason, Lady Northern Feng just liked Feng Wu so much. Even His Royal Highness acted rather friendly.

Fearing that this was going to turn into another fiasco like the incident with Feng Liu, Feng Yanfeng shouted his command at Feng Wu. “Pour Her Ladyship some tea, kneel, and greet your godmother!”

Feng Wu gave Feng Yanfeng a half-smile.

Her uncle was really desperate.

Lady Northern Feng threw a dirty look at Feng Yanfeng, then waved him off. “There’s no need to rush. She’s going to be Shi Yaran’s1 daughter and it’ll be a formal ceremony.”

She then turned to Feng Wu with a smile. “Good girl. I’ll pick an auspicious day, invite lots of guests, and throw you a big party. No one will ever look down on you again!”

That change in her attitude… Feng Yanfeng was speechless.

The crown prince’s residence.

Feng Xun followed Jun Linyuan back to the residence, but he wouldn’t stop nagging.

“Why? Why? Why? I don’t understand. Boss Jun, why did you turn your back on me? Shouldn’t you be on my side? I don’t get it. I’m so mad. Ahhhh —”

Feng Xun wouldn’t stop complaining and he had the biggest frown on his face.

Jun Linyuan darted him a glance in resignation.

He suddenly asked, “Why did my aunt want Feng Wu as her goddaughter?”

Feng Xun snorted. “You know how much my mum likes pretty people. Little Feng Wu has always been so good-looking and my mum has had this idea for years. She finally got what she wanted. Hmph!”

Jun Linyuan was speechless.

“Come to think of it, I really need to thank little Feng Wu this time.” Lying down on a bench by the pool with his hands behind his head, Feng Xun said in a disgruntled voice, “Mum was sick and it was quite severe. Little Feng Wu saved her life. For that alone, I need to thank her.

“I’ve made up my mind!” Feng Xun bounced off the bench all of a sudden and looked refreshed!

“What?”

“I’ll protect little Feng Wu with my life!” Feng Xun clenched his fists. “I’m her brother now! Hmph!! Anyone try to do anything to her, and I’ll break their leg!”

Jun Linyuan was speechless.

Feng cleared his throat.

Feng Xun looked at Feng in bewilderment. “Do you not feel well?”

Feng didn’t know what to say. His throat was fine, but he couldn’t say the same about this silly teenager’s life.

Feng Xun had no idea whom he had offended with those words. He was just so happy all of a sudden. Sitting there, he couldn’t stop grinning.

And that look on his face gave the other the creeps.

Luckily, he was dealing with the crown prince.

Jun Linyuan rolled his eyes at Feng Xun. “What are you doing?”

Feng Xun guffawed.

Jun Linyuan was speechless.

“Boss Jun, you know what?!” Feng Xun suddenly turned around and looked at Jun Linyuan in excitement. His eyes sparkled. “I have a sister! Hahahaha — I have a sister!”

3Jun Linyuan was speechless.

Excuse me? What happened to that person who would rather die than have a sister?

Jun Linyuan sighed. “…I see.”
