The Slender Waist-Chapter 150 - 112: A Plan within a Plan

Zhang Erbing was held by two followers with his hands tied behind his back, so angry that he jumped up and cursed.

"Feng Shi Er Niang, you’re framing me!"

In front of everyone, Feng Yun sighed softly.

"I thought it was only because Zhang Family members had a strong desire to win, and that they were merely discontent with me. I didn’t expect you to be so vicious..."

She glanced at Kong Yun’e, whose eyes were red from crying.

"Fortunately, Jin Ge and Tie Ma, the brothers from the Ren Family happened to pass by the farm tool shop, otherwise, Yun’e would have fallen victim to your evil deeds... Regrettably, brother Tie Ma was killed by Zhang Erbing in his quest for justice."

She spoke with sorrow.

Zhang Erbing’s eyes bulged, nearly driven mad with fury.

"No. We didn’t kill anyone. You’re the murderer, it was you, you wicked woman!"

Feng Yun looked toward Jin Ge, who was silently hugging Tie Ma in the corner.

"Brother Jin Ge, please tell everyone, who has harmed your brother?"

Jin Ge didn’t speak, his angry eyes fixed on Zhang Erbing.

The crowd was in an uproar.

A brother certainly wouldn’t conceal the crime of a murderer.

The Zhang brothers were undoubtedly the killers.

"Those people from the Zhang Family are too arrogant."

"Coming to the farm tool shop in the middle of the night with ill intentions..."

"Jin Ge and Tie Ma brothers were so righteous, it’s such a shame for Tie Ma, a strong and capable man, to have died at the hands of evildoers."

"No! It wasn’t us." The Zhang brothers were still shouting loudly, trying to defend themselves.

Feng Yun ordered Xing Bing, "Gag their mouths and throw them into the cowshed. Send them to the General Residence first thing tomorrow morning."

With their mouths gagged, the Zhang brothers were silenced.

Feng Yun straightened her back and walked to the front of the crowd, looking at the faces illuminated by the torchlight.

"I, Feng Yun, have always wanted to protect the people of the village, to live a few peaceful days in these chaotic times."

"But ever since the Zhang Family came to Huaxi Village, they’ve been causing trouble and acting inhumanely..."

"Tomorrow, I will ask Secretary He to hold a court session. You all can go to Andu City to testify for the unjust death of brother Tie Ma and for the people of Huaxi Village who have been bullied by the Zhang brothers."

The villagers dispersed.

The Zhang brothers were also taken away.

Only then did Feng Yun turn around to look at Kong Yun’e and Jin Ge.

"The two of you had affections for each other and should have been together. It is only fate’s cruel trick that has led to this point. But..."

She smiled faintly, "Fate is fate, and fortune is fortune, but who says they cannot be overturned?"

Kong Yun’e, her voice hoarse from crying, asked with reddened eyes, "Ayun, what are you doing all this for?"

Feng Yun looked at Jin Ge, "For him."

Kong Yun’e was taken aback, completely bewildered.

Jin Ge was no fool and often accompanied Xiao Cheng, having calmed down from his earlier agitation, he now understood Feng Yun’s intentions.

"You brought Yun’e from Tai City to Andu, with the intention of scheming against me, right?"

Feng Yun chuckled softly, "How could it be scheming when I am helping you understand the truth?"

Jin Ge looked into her eyes.

Not angry, not surprised. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He controlled his emotions very well, leaving five bright red fingerprints on the wall with his bloody hand.

"I will not betray the Third Young Master."

Feng Yun raised her eyes, "You are smart, realizing everything in such a short time. Sadly, from the moment you pierced Tie Ma’s chest, there was no turning back for you."

She watched Jin Ge and suddenly started to laugh.

"Unless you want Yun’e and the people of Hengyang to bear guilt and suffering for the rest of their lives, you have no choice but to listen to me."

Jin Ge remained silent, his gaze fixed on her eyes, as if veiled with blood.

Feng Yun smiled faintly again.

"Do you really believe that your Third Young Master cares that much for you?"

Jin Ge looked at her, bewildered, his eyes filled with doubt.

Feng Yun let him scrutinize her, her lips curving into a slight smile, "To tell you the truth, on that day at Shuiyun Temple, it was Xiao Cheng who sent Ping’an to call for me, and I left the meditation room, thus avoiding the disaster."

Jin Ge’s throat tightened.

"The Third Young Master doesn’t know about Yun’e."

"Yes, he really doesn’t know about your relationship with Yun’e, otherwise he wouldn’t have agreed to send her to Andu... He wouldn’t deliberately betray you, but what does it matter?"

Feng Yun kept her gaze on Jin Ge, speaking softly, "Your master always puts interests first, and he is very suspicious. What if he finds out that the criminal at Shuiyun Temple was Tie Ma, and that Tie Ma had behind his back done such filthy deeds, what would he think?"

Seeing Jin Ge’s silence, she pressed on.

"What if Xiao Cheng learns that it was you who killed Tie Ma, and that you helped me frame the Zhang brothers, would he continue to trust you as he always has?"

Jin Ge took two steps back.

"What do you really want, what is your ultimate goal?"
