章節 110: Feng Tianlan Starts Her Counterattack

"Mother…" Feng Xiupei called out to her with a frown. She had learned not to say everything she wanted to in one shot. She always left her sentences unfinished so that others could fill in the blanks with whatever they thought. That way, even if something happened, she could insist that she hadn't been the one to say something wrong, and the blame would fall on others.

But Xu Jiayi didn't get her hint and looked at her with great pain on her face. "Pei'er, you are also my daughter, so my heart aches for you. Stop trying to take the rap for her. The governor will surely get to the bottom of this, and then I will step in to help."

Feng Xiupei was nearly driven mad by what Xu Jiayi had said. Thankfully, she'd also left the last sentence open to interpretation.
