266: Chapter 266: Lack of Discernment (Sixth Update)_1 266: Chapter 266: Lack of Discernment (Sixth Update)_1 Fengâs family was cooking in the kitchen when they heard the commotion and hurried out.
Upon seeing Yang Anshi and Feng Caie, she was startled, but soon she managed a smile, âAuntie Yang, what brings you here?â
âHavenât I already said itâs good news?â Feng Caie said smugly, âHurry up and serve up some fine tea and snacksâŠâ
Before the Feng family could even speak, Gu Yao stepped forward, âIf there is something to say, then speak.
If not, leave.
Donât make a fuss hereâŠâ
âHow can you speak like that, you brat?â snapped Feng Caie, âAn impolite bumpkin, born without a fatherâs teachingâŠâ
âGet out!â Gu Qingheng, who had been silent, suddenly shouted harshly.
âYouâŠâ Feng Caie was startled, âWhat are you, a blind man, talking about?â
âWhat did you say?â Gu Yaoâs eyes instantly widened with fury radiating from him.
Seeing the situation deteriorating, Yang Anshi quickly raised her hand and slapped Feng Caie, âIf you canât speak properly, get lostâŠ
always spouting nonsense, be careful or Iâll tear your mouth apartâŠâ
Feng Caie shivered and then quickly shut her mouth and stepped back two steps, âMother, I was justâŠâ
Yang Anshi however, glared at Feng Caie, âI shouldnât have brought such rubbish with meâŠâ She then turned to the Gu family with a smile, âGu family lads, she doesnât know how to speak.
Please, pay her no mind.â
Yang Anshiâs approach made it difficult for the Gu family to react angrily.
âAuntie, just say what you need to say,â Fengâs expression was quite upset, âOtherwise, please go back, weâre all busy here.â
Yang Anshi wasnât comfortable with Fengâs attitude, but remembering her daughterâs instructions, she suppressed her irritation and maintained her smile.
One had to admit, the old lady was indeed determined for the sake of silver, âDonât look so displeased.â
âWell, Auntie, letâs hear it,â said Feng, forcing a smile, thinking to herself that these people couldnât possibly have good news unless the sun rose from the west.
âMother.â Just then, from outside came the sound of hurried footsteps, followed by Yang Baiheâs booming voice, âIs it settled yet?â She didnât like getting up early, but this time was different, she was anxious.
If the deal went through, it would all be silver.
So, calculating the time and figuring there should be some outcome by now, she ran over.
âMy good daughter, why are you up so early?â Seeing her valued daughter, Yang Anshi temporarily forgot what she was about to say and hurried over, personally supporting Yang Baiheâs arm, âBe careful not to run too fast, donât get out of breathâŠâ She then glared at Feng Caie again, âWonât you hurry up and bring a stool for your young mistress?
So thoughtless.â
Feng Caie glanced around the yard, noticed there were no stools and without waiting for the Gu familyâs permission, she ran into the kitchen to fetch one.
The Feng family didnât even have time to stop her.
When Feng Caie came back, not only did she bring a stool, but she also brought with her a boiled egg that Feng had cooked, âMistress, please sit.â She placed the stool down and swiftly peeled the egg, opened her mouth wide, and bit off half in one go.
âOnly for you to eat?â Yang Anshi was enraged and smacked Feng Caie on the back, âWhy donât you choke?
Canât you see your young mistress hasnât eaten?â
