A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

"Mother, why are you still helping..." Feng Lingfu immediately spoke up, speechless with anger.

But when she noticed a glance her mother gave her, she stopped talking abruptly.

"Alright, stop being childish. Your father will be back soon. If he finds out that you two sisters are at odds and that you caused such a big scene at the gate, he will definitely be very angry."

To outsiders, Qian Wanyi was the most gentle and kind-hearted concubine, known for her good temper.

It was precisely because of this that she was the most favored by Feng Lingyu and was put in charge of all the affairs of the Feng family's backyard.

In other words, although she was a concubine, she held the real power of the mistress of the house.

Actually, Qian Wanyi isn't like the cruel stepmother portrayed in TV dramas, who beats and scolds the female lead behind her back.

On the contrary, whether in public or in private, she always treated Feng Jiutian as a 'good' concubine.

A classic example of someone who puts on a show on the surface, secretly stabs others in the back, yet makes it impossible for others to find any flaws.

Qian Wanyi glanced at Feng Jiutian's room, a deep glint flashing across her eyes before she put on a friendly smile.

"Nine Heavens, I apologize on Fu'er's behalf for her rudeness, so please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

"Since Auntie has said so, if I still hold a grudge, wouldn't that make me seem petty?"

"Then I can rest assured, Aunt. But why did you come back so suddenly? Where is your husband?"

husband?

Feng Jiutian's eyes narrowed slightly, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

Who should she hold accountable for instigating Feng Xiangyu to marry her off to that old man?

It’s getting more and more interesting!

"Husband? What husband? Oh, you mean that old man who died in the fire? It's such a pity, I had only just met him when he couldn't bear it and perished in the fire!"

what?

Buried in the flames?

Qian Wanyi was taken aback upon hearing this.

Reaching the door, Feng Jiutian observed Qian Wanyi's reaction, a strange smile curving his lips as he said, a half-smile playing on his lips:

"Your aunt seems very surprised. Don't worry, before he died, I gave him a letter of divorce. So, I, the eldest daughter of the Feng family, have returned with a clean record."

"However, when you help me choose a husband in the future, Auntie, you must keep your eyes open. Otherwise, those who die young will either perish in a fire or be pierced by a thousand arrows by villains. It's too tragic."

Feng Jiutian spoke with a half-smile, but his eyes were cold.

What does she mean?

Was he threatening her?

Qian Wanyi's expression changed slightly, and a strange twist passed across her gentle face.

"Feng Jiutian, I knew it! You shameless woman, even if you get married, you'll still be divorced. You've disgraced the Feng family!"

Upon hearing those words, Feng Lingfu was immediately delighted and burst into unrestrained, mocking laughter.

Qian Wanyi frowned at his 'brainless' remark.

Feng Jiutian smiled and slowly reached out to take the hairpin from the side of the door.

Upon seeing her take out the hairpin, Feng Lingfu's smile froze, and she reflexively took a step back.

It was clear that he was still somewhat wary of her holding the hairpin.

Feng Jiutian watched Feng Lingfu's reaction with satisfaction, the hairpin twirling nimbly between his fingers, and lazily explained.

"Shameful? What's shameful about me divorcing an old man?"

Everyone present was taken aback by these words.

Although the people of Dongling were open-minded, there was never any talk of women divorcing their husbands; at most, they would only get a divorce.
