The General's Wife

CHAPTER 35

At the Feng Household, screams were heard across the courtyard. Feng Dong Tao and Feng Dong Fu glared at the servant who was screaming. Soon another scream was heard. Feng Dong Tao and his son frowned and immediately went to his wife's courtyard. He asked the servant who was gaping "What's going on?" the servant didn't answer, instead he pointed inside the room. Inside the room Chen Caihong was screaming while pointing at the hanged lifeless body of their assassins. A decapitated head was also placed at the table.

While Feng Dong Tao went to check on his wife. Feng Dong Fu went to his sister's courtyard. He saw his sister shaking "Lanfen! Tell brother what's wrong" the answer he received was a scream and he clenched his fist and went inside his sister's room and saw the lifeless body on the floor and their head hung on the ceiling.

A week passed, and the group were near the main gate of the Capital. Lu Ying Yue became tensed, she turned her head to look at her siblings past asleep. Soon noises were heard outside the carriage, Lu Hu An opened his eyes and stared at his sister and whispered "Sister Yi--". Lu Ying Yue immediately covered his mouth and shook her head.

Some of the guards were panting. They took deep breaths and were about to kill the assassins when arrows were shot at the assassins. The arrows were shot by Lei Peizhi and his men.

An arrow was shot at the carriage, and Lu Ying Yue stopped the arrow from hitting Lu Hu An's head. He saw his sister's bleeding hand and screamed "Sister Ying!" Lei Peizhi and his men heard the scream. He saw the arrow at the carriage, and he looked at the trees. He saw a shadow, and with one look from his men, they chased the man and killed him. Chang Min went to the body and saw a token and handed it to Lei Pezihi.

Ling Cheung and Jiao Jing checked on the Lu siblings and saw the bleeding hands of Lu Ying Yue. Jiao Jing immediately rode their carriage and treated her hand. Lu Ying Yue stared coldly at Lei Peizhi and asked "who?", with a clenched jaw, he replied "it was Feng Dong Fu".

Lu Ying Yue smirked and said "Let's head to the Capital immediately, I'll be attending the court today." Lei Peizhi and the others nodded their head. Lu Hu An stared at his sister worriedly, she turned her head and looked at him in the eye "Hu An, you'll stay at the Lotus Courtyard with Xiao Yan. I'll introduce you to some people there, and I already send a word to Uncle Feng Huang Ji" Lu Ying Yue sighed and hugged him.

Soon, they arrived at the Capital and proceeded to Lotus Courtyard. Upon their arrival, "Miss Feng, Master Feng" Wen Fai Hong bowed and welcomed them. Ling Cheung and Jiao Jing greeted each other as old friends and He escorted them to their rooms. Lu Ying Yue ordered Lei Peizhi to be on their guard. She asked Wen Fai Hong to inform her Brother Shun Hua, Uncle Lu Guang He and Uncle Feng Huang Ji that they have arrived.
