If at first Yue Snowing still had the same idea as her husband in pushing Furen into an arranged marriage, then now she’s totally of the opposite opinion. This mother only wants her daughter to stay far, far away from those people who would drive her older brother out after thirty years of service.

“Mom, I was ignorant before, that’s why I wasn’t willing. I know better now. I’m a daughter of this Tian Clan, I won’t let anyone harm us or push us around!” Tian Furen appears firm and calm despite the plea from her own mother.

Sure enough, Yue Snowing couldn’t say more as she stammered for a proper reply.

“You’re too emotional! There is nothing wrong with what our daughter said. If she becomes the young lord’s woman then it will only bring our family endless benefit, what do you know as a simple woman?” Tian Wind harshly lectures his own wife, not holding anything back in his tone.

Before this man would always keep himself from being too harsh towards his wife due to that brother-in-law, but he’s no longer the Water Clan’s housekeeper, meaning he had no reason to be merciful and could do as he please.

“Come Furen, go inside and get a good rest. I’ll think of other ways to get you into the Water Clan.” Giving his wife one final warning glare, the man leads his daughter inside by directing the girl along.

Naturally the cold reception didn’t escape the lady’s eye, which in part left Yue Snowing cold to the core as she watched the two closest kin she had slowly disappear from view. She wants to change things, sadly, the woman also knows that without her older brother’s support, her status within the Tian Clan has diminished greatly….

……

Compared with the chaos of the Tian Clan, the Wen Clan was also going through a turbulent time.

Wen Fe Fei had just returned from the hotel after suffering the humiliation when the door to her room got pushed open. Startled at first, she quickly regains her head and called out to the entering individual: “Pa.”

Bang!

Wen Shan didn’t greet her daughter like usual though, instead he slams the cell phone in his hand against the ground. He’s livid and green all over in the face: “Wen Fei Fei, do you think this city is your back garden or something? Take a good look at the stuff you pulled at the hotel, it’s all over social media already! Frame a child and then threaten the crowd? Get posted across the internet and become a meme?”

Wen Fei Fei’s first instinct was to freeze along the sofa and not make any movements. She knows it’s too late to hide the matter and decides to keep that mouth shut less she causes more trouble.

“Fei Fei, what did I teach you over the years? I told you not to seek trouble or cause it, why won’t you listen? Look how mad your pa is now?”

Staring up with tears streaking down those cheeks, Wen Fei Fei quietly sobs as she replied: “Ma, I didn’t mean to, but when I went to ask Bai Yi Yi to help me get the antidote, that girl humiliated me and then kicked me out. I didn’t dare to fight back, so…. I got angry and lost control when I yelled at that boy.”

“Oh Fei Fei, my poor child….” Weeping in the face, Chai Moon moves closer and brings her daughter into a hug to showcase how pitiful they were in front of the man, “Whether Bai Yi Yi is good or bad, she’s still Bai Yu’s apprentice. No matter what you do, you shouldn’t have gone to bother her. You are better than that, I know you are. Don’t worry my Fei Fei, your ma and pa here won’t leave you like this and let you suffer in pain…”

“Ma, based on what can that Bai Yi Yi do that to me? If not for our family picking her off the streets and raising her, she would be dead long ago from starvation. Just because Bai Yan returned, she’s got a backbone now? I can’t accept this! I can’t accept such a bad person stepping all over me when I did nothing wrong….”
