Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1258 - 1277: Ruthless Heart

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1277: Ruthless Heart

Fu Xinwu was seething with rage on top of the courtyard wall, feeling as if her very hair was standing on end. The person she cherished most, someone for whom even a stolen glance was satisfying, was actually being cursed at? It was simply unbearable.

Thinking of jumping down, she was suddenly restrained by Nan Fei.

"Don’t be impulsive, I think Wei Qin wouldn’t want to be on display."

Nan Fei’s calm and pleasing voice quickly brought Fu Xinwu back to her senses. Clenching her fists tightly, her eyes filled with a bloody hue, she said, word by word, "I must make Lu Dongxin and Wei An pay a heavy price."

"Mm! I support you." She was really afraid that this girl would lose her mind, and then it would be difficult to explain to Bei Jiang. However, she had really witnessed the shamelessness of Lu Dongxin and Wei An today. She had always thought that her grandaunt, He Jinlan, was the most eccentric and bizarre person she had ever seen, only to now realize that there’s always someone stronger; there’s always a higher mountain.

These two were simply too shameless, even calculating and cursing with such viciousness over the kindness of raising them.

Wei Qin’s gaze casually swept over the courtyard wall outside, indifferent and seemingly without a trace.

Nan Fei’s vigilance had completely changed under Huo Beijiang’s deliberate training, plus her hearing was naturally better than the average person. So although Wei Qin’s movement was quick and his gaze light, without any hostility, she still noticed it.

Lowering her head to scan the top of the courtyard, she noticed that glass shards were embedded on all the surrounding walls, except for this bare section where they sat, which was also in a concealed position, not easily spotted by others.

Nan Fei unexpectedly raised an eyebrow, glancing at Fu Xinwu who was grinding her teeth in anger, and a new judgment formed in her mind. It seems that Wei Qin wasn’t as indifferent as he appeared to be.

He surely must have noticed Fu Xinwu’s wall-climbing and peeping behavior long ago, yet he never pointed it out. Had it been anyone else, they would have been chased away by now, but of course, not everyone has the guts to do that. With this thought, Nan Fei gave Fu Xinwu a meaningful look.

"Auntie, why are you smirking like a thief?" Fu Xinwu shuddered with goosebumps, her fair face almost crumpling into a bun.

"Nothing," said Nan Fei, restraining her emotions and pointing inside the courtyard. "Lu Dongxin still can’t see reality for what it is."

"Hehehe! I have known what kind of person she is since we were children. Because Minister Wei has no daughters, she has always claimed the status of the Wei Family’s golden child, always looking to overpower others. Now that the Lu Family has fallen, if she loses the Wei Family as her support, it would be worse than death for her."

Fu Xinwu scoffed repeatedly, shifting on the courtyard wall into a new position, her long legs curled uncomfortably, so she decided to just let them dangle freely. She wished someone would discover her, so she could swoop down from the sky and give Lu Dongxin and Wei An a thorough thrashing.

"Then let her die," Nan Fei uttered, startling even herself with her words.

Such words... she had never thought of them before. Even at her most hateful, she had never considered staining her hands with blood, much less taking a life. She gave a self-mocking, bitter smile, realizing she just had too much of a conscience.

Fu Xinwu gently patted Nan Fei’s slender leg, her eyes twinkling as she whispered, "I have a plan, death would be too easy for her. The best punishment is to send Lu Dongxin to Dark Street to become a prostitute; that profession suits her much better. With her shamelessness, she’s bound to thrive."

"Is that the same place Jing Tong was once sold?" Nan Fei asked, the name sparking a bit of recognition.
