The Slender Waist-Chapter 151 - 112: A Plan within a Plan_2

Feng Yun’s gaze was deep and cold.

"Like you, I have a knot in my heart that urgently needs to be untied."

Jin Ge looked at her, silent and speechless.

But deep down, he already vaguely understood Feng Yun’s entire plan.

She took advantage of Ren Rude’s eagerness to befriend her and brought Kong Yun’e to Andu.

Using her conversation with Ren Rude, she deliberately conveyed the humiliation Kong Yun’e had suffered in the past to catch his and Tie Ma’s attention, then secretly passed on a message, coaxing him to meet with Kong Yun’e and took the opportunity to abduct Tie Ma. Utilizing Tie Ma’s volatile temperament, she orchestrated a conflict between the brothers, leading to a violent outcome...

"Whether I kill Tie Ma, or Tie Ma kills me, either result is the same for you, isn’t it? One of us would always be at your disposal?"

"No," Feng Yun said, "I don’t want him; I only want you. So, it must be he who dies."

Jin Ge sneered, "If I’m not mistaken, the Zhang brothers were also lured here by you, right?"

Feng Yun saw no need to hide this point, "That’s correct."

Jin Ge asked, "Why?"

Feng Yun countered, "Have you ever heard of Jin Country’s Imperial Cavalry Division? They are from the division. If I don’t get rid of them, I’ll never have a peaceful day in Huaxi Village. I might avoid them once, but not a second or third time; sooner or later, I’ll fall into their hands..."

Jin Ge stared at her darkly, not believing a word she said.

"I remember, the last time General Pei wanted to kill them and it was the lady who saved their lives?"

Feng Yun smiled, "The lives of a few underlings mean nothing to me. If they must die, it must be at the right time."

Jin Ge felt a pang in his heart, "What a cleverly chained strategy, my lady."

Feng Yun shook her head, "No, this is still not enough."

After saying this, she smiled at Jin Ge again, "You and Tie Ma sell your lives for Xiao Cheng, but what have you really gained in the end? You can’t even protect the woman you love. Is it worth it?"

Jin Ge asked, "What can you, the lady, offer me?"

Feng Yun replied, "In my eyes, Feng Yun, love between a man and a woman does not consider social status or background. You and Yun’e are a match made in heaven; you were meant to be together, and with your son Hengyang, you could live a happy life in Huaxi Village or any place you wish to go..."

Jin Ge lowered his eyelids, remaining silent.

"There’s no need to rush your answer. I’ll give you time."

Feng Yun glanced at him with a smile, picked up Kong Yun’e, and handed her to him.

"You know what to say to Ren Rude, don’t you? There’s no need for me to instruct you on that."

Jin Ge still remained silent.

But Feng Yun wasn’t worried.

For Kong Yun’e’s sake, he would not reveal the truth to Ren Rude.

When Feng Yun returned to the estate wearing her fox fur cloak, she woke up Ayou, who was sleeping in her room.

The little girl rubbed her eyes and sat up, "Auntie?"

Feng Yun paused, then went over to pat her comforting, "Go back to sleep."

Ayou asked, "Did Uncle achieve another victory?"

Feng Yun had said that they would be notified of any good news at any time, so Ayou thought her getting up in the middle of the night meant that Pei Jue had won another battle.

"Mhm," Feng Yun nodded, watching the child’s eyes brighten under the night lamp, suddenly feeling guilty, "He will win."

Ayou nodded her little head, "Uncle is truly remarkable."

At a loss for words, Feng Yun tucked the child back into bed and arranged the covers, "Sleep now, tomorrow you’ll go see the fish your oldest brother has caught."

Ayou pouted, "Auntie, do you dislike Uncle?"

Feng Yun was taken aback.

Discussing this with a six-year-old girl in the middle of the night?

"Don’t talk nonsense, go to sleep."

Ayou pouted, "My mother says Uncle, with his big block of ice demeanor, won’t be liked by any lady. Please don’t abandon Uncle, okay? He’s really pitiful."

Feng Yun was caught between laughter and tears.

She had never thought that in this life she’d be helping to take care of Madam Ao’s children.

Nor had she thought that two kids could be so exasperating.

In her previous life, the two precious little sprouts were guarded by Madam Ao like the apple of her eye, and as a concubine like Feng Yun, getting close would have displeased her. In three years, she had also only seen them from a distance.

Without a word, she patted Ayou, coaxing her to sleep.

But suddenly, Ayou jumped up and crawled into Feng Yun’s bed. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"I want to sleep with Auntie tonight, to hear the story of Uncle’s victorious battles..."

Feng Yun: ...

Today was a particularly lively day in Andu City.

He Qia had been ordered to manage Andu for some time now.

There were always plenty of trivial matters and brawls in the city.

He addressed them earnestly, but he had never presided over a court session.

He was a military general. Publicly presiding over cases was a civil official’s job.

He Qia felt he didn’t understand it well, but when Feng Shi Er Niang handed over the case with a compelling argument, the matter had escalated to the point where he had no choice but to step in, especially with the Lord of Pingyuan County staying at the General Residence.
