Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 972: Chapter 883: Defending Our Rivers and Mountains 13

At this moment, Liu Feifei was already in a very bad mood due to her shattered dreams. Seeing Du Haokun’s behavior, she couldn’t take it anymore. In a fit of rage, she felt as if Du Haokun had betrayed her. She lunged at him, scratching and biting him!

Du Haokun was caught off guard, and Liu Feifei managed to grab and bite him. The scratches on his face and the bite marks on his hands were from Liu Feifei at that moment. After that, Du Haokun was on guard, and Liu Feifei naturally couldn’t hurt him anymore.

Unable to hurt anyone, Liu Feifei kept crying and making a scene, leaving Du Haokun in turmoil all night, and she cried all night herself. It wasn’t until the next morning, when a servant sent by Fang Meijuan came with a key to unlock the room, that Du Haokun was finally freed.

When Fang Meijuan’s people arrived, Liu Feifei was still crying. In the midst of her tears, two strong middle-aged female servants grabbed her arms and pulled her up. Although Liu Feifei was living under someone else’s roof in the Du Mansion, no one dared to treat her so disrespectfully before.

Suddenly being grabbed by two people, Liu Feifei was already feeling stifled, and being manhandled like this made her instantly furious: ”How dare you two be so rude to me! Do you want to be kicked out of the Du Mansion?”

The maid holding Liu Feifei sneered, ”Miss Liu, there’s no need to show off to us, mere servants. You injured the Young Marshal, and Lady is furious. We were sent by Lady to take you over there. You better think about what you’ll say when you face Lady.”

Liu Feifei’s once confused mind was like being doused in cold water, and she suddenly sobered up. She finally remembered that last night, in a moment of anger and impulse, she seemed to have harmed Du Haokun quite severely.

In the Du Family, Du Haokun’s status was second only to Du Zongze, and he was the apple of Fang Meijuan and Du Zongze’s eye. She was just an orphan relying on others, now an insignificant concubine meant to entertain Du Haokun, and having hurt him, her future was surely bleak.

Seeing the stance of the two female servants, it was clear that Aunt Fang Meijuan was angry and wanted to punish her. Liu Feifei immediately became afraid. Although Fang Meijuan lacked some brains, she was not someone who would hold back.

Having been by Fang Meijuan’s side for so many years, Liu Feifei had watched how ruthlessly Fang Meijuan dealt with concubines and disobedient servants who dared to cross her.

Once, Liu Feifei didn’t think Fang Meijuan’s harshness was anything special, but now it seemed her turn had come. Thinking of Fang Meijuan’s ruthless side made Liu Feifei’s legs go weak, her body slumping toward the ground, terrified to the extreme.

The two servants holding Liu Feifei didn’t care if she was scared. Seeing her weaken and collapse, they looked at her with disdain and contempt before dragging her out.

When dragged into the hall, Liu Feifei saw Fang Meijuan sitting in the main seat with a sullen face. She couldn’t help but shiver and instinctively looked at Du Haokun, seated to the side, pleading in a tearful voice, ”Cousin, cousin, save me.”

Sadly, Du Haokun, whom Liu Feifei sought help from, did not even glance at her. His attention wasn’t on Liu Feifei at all because he was glaring at Kou Shuangshuang, sitting there leisurely sipping tea, as if planning to kill her with his eyes.

The Du Mansion had its own family doctor, and at that moment, the doctor had already arrived in the hall ahead of Liu Feifei, tending to Du Haokun’s wounds, stating they weren’t deep, which made Fang Meijuan feel at ease.

Now, seeing her son glaring at Kou Shuangshuang with such anger, Fang Meijuan only assumed her son was venting his anger over Liu Feifei’s incident onto Kou Shuangshuang. Fang Meijuan thought it wasn’t fair to blame Kou Shuangshuang for it. Although Shuangshuang had suggested taking a concubine for Du Haokun, she hadn’t intended for Liu Feifei to be the concubine.

Fang Meijuan thought that if it weren’t for her own selfish desire to make Liu Feifei someone her son could rely on, such things wouldn’t have happened, which led her son to vent his anger onto his daughter-in-law. Who could have imagined that Liu Feifei, seemingly so soft, would be so fiery and hurtful, taking action so ruthlessly.

Due to this mentality, Fang Meijuan felt somewhat guilty towards Kou Shuangshuang, especially seeing her son’s accusatory demeanor, which exacerbated her guilt. Of course, alongside this guilt, her anger towards Liu Feifei increased even more. If it weren’t for Liu Feifei’s incompetence, why would she feel so guilty?

Now seeing Liu Feifei daring to plead with Du Haokun, Fang Meijuan became even angrier. She snorted coldly, picked up the teacup at her side, and hurled it directly at Liu Feifei’s head.

Liu Feifei instinctively tilted her head, and the teacup didn’t hit her head but landed on her shoulder instead. The tea, along with the tea leaves, spilled out, soaking her clothes, and the teacup shattered when it hit the ground.

Seeing Liu Feifei dare to dodge, Fang Meijuan’s fury grew. She stood up, walked over to Liu Feifei, who was still being restrained by the two maids, and delivered a fierce slap to Liu Feifei’s face.

Fang Meijuan unleashed that slap with extreme force, causing Liu Feifei’s face to instantly swell and turn bright red. Liu Feifei cowered a bit, looking at Fang Meijuan, and meekly called out, ”Auntie.”

Fang Meijuan let out a cold laugh, ”Don’t call me auntie. I can’t afford it. Liu Feifei, you’re something else. I was only thinking of your good, arranging for you and Haokun to finalize things, waiting early for you to come and serve tea, giving you all the respect. But what did you do? You dared to injure your own husband? Do you intend to defy the heavens? Can a man’s face just be injured at will?”

Liu Feifei also felt wronged, and couldn’t help but argue through tears, ”Auntie, but after getting married, cousin wouldn’t, wouldn’t come close to me, he even said he never liked me and wanted to leave the bridal chamber, leaving me all alone. No matter how I pleaded with cousin, he ignored me. I was just too heartbroken and lost my mind to hurt cousin, Auntie, please forgive me this once. I was just too sad, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Liu Feifei felt her reasons were sound, but to Fang Meijuan, they seemed absurd. Fang Meijuan had lived with Du Zongze for years without any romantic feelings between men and women. If there were any, she wouldn’t tolerate Du Zongze having so many women.

So Fang Meijuan’s ideal daughter-in-law was someone like Kou Shuangshuang. She knew Du Haokun didn’t enter Kou Shuangshuang’s room on their wedding night and hadn’t been close to her since. At one point, Fang Meijuan worried that Kou Shuangshuang might make a fuss about it, but Shuangshuang always acted gracefully and calmly, never losing her composure over Du Haokun’s neglect. Her dignified behavior pleased Fang Meijuan and made her very happy with her virtuous daughter-in-law, which is why Fang Meijuan liked Kou Shuangshuang so much.
