She Lives without Regret in This Life

”He didn’t harm me.” Sheng Ning wiped the fresh blood on her hand onto her body, but even after wiping, blood kept oozing out. For some reason, when she saw Housekeeper Xing draw his gun to kill the child in front of her, her wound felt burning hot, without any sense of pain.

”Put the gun away.” Her eyes narrowed slightly as she gave the order, exuding an inviolable authority that made Housekeeper Xing unconsciously put away his gun.

Feng Kai was already very afraid of Housekeeper Xing. No young master or lady of the Feng family wasn’t afraid of him. Adults could exchange pleasantries on the surface, but behind the scenes, they would say unpleasant things.

Just now, Housekeeper Xing’s actions scared Feng Kai so much that he fainted.

”Family Head, sir is dead, Xiao Kai is implicated. Moreover, he just harmed you, which is a serious crime in the Feng family; you must execute him.”

”Ridiculous, you and I both know that great-uncle’s death has nothing to do with Xiao Kai.” Sheng Ning motioned for the servants to come in and take Feng Kai away, just as the family doctor arrived to dress her wound.

Someone else went to check on Mr. Feng.

The examination of Mr. Feng was completed quickly, and the person approached Sheng Ning cautiously and said, ”Family Head, sir has already passed away.”

”Hmm!” Sheng Ning’s face was cold, the sadness and grief in her heart were completely dissipated by Housekeeper Xing’s earlier act of drawing his gun.

Great-uncle spent his life dominating the four seas, his mind complex and hard to fathom. Now with his passing, one can only say that the era of a hero has come to an end.

She suddenly realized there was nothing to be sad about.

The pain and torment over this period were not something one could endure for long; death is sometimes a release.

”Where is Feng Xintong?” Sheng Ning understood in her heart that if someone tampered with great-uncle’s oxygen and infusion, it should be Feng Xintong.

”Family Head.” Housekeeper Xing reminded in a low voice, ”Sir has already passed, what you need to do is to announce to everyone that you are the new Family Head of the Feng family.”

”Great-uncle’s death...”

”Sir was already on his last breath.” The implication was that he was already dying, and at this time, there wasn’t much to fuss about.

Sheng Ning turned her head, looking at Housekeeper Xing with an inscrutable gaze, ”Are you shielding certain people?”

”Of course not, I only serve the Family Head.”

”I hope you remember your words.”

”Family Head, your current situation is very dangerous.” Housekeeper Xing wiped cold sweat from his heart, sir was no longer here, and without him to suppress them, those from within the family must be biding their time to besiege Miss Sheng Ning.

”I understand!” Sheng Ning took a deep breath, slowly calming the complexity and panic in her heart.

”Let Chen Yingjie come in!”

”Is he your bodyguard?”

”No, he’s my brother.” Sheng Ning smiled; how could she dare to call Chen Yingjie a bodyguard? He was a brother born into life-and-death situations, brother to Chen Huaying, and part of the third generation from the great courtyard.

When she got the news, she had thought that great-uncle was just unwell; old people have more or less some ailments. But when she left, Chen Yingjie insisted on coming along because he was worried.

Of course, as he came, someone else came too.

”I’ll send someone to get him immediately.” Housekeeper Xing gestured for someone to fetch him.

After her hand was bandaged, Sheng Ning dismissed everyone in the room, leaving only Housekeeper Xing behind. She silently walked to Mr. Feng’s bed, gently arranging his clothes to make him look peaceful.

As if he were just asleep.
