Feng Wu was bewildered.0

Feng Yanfeng even rubbed Feng Wu's head, acting like a loving senior of the family. He then smiled at Lady Xuanji. "Sister-in-law, you've had a difficult time bringing up two kids all by yourself. How amazing! Xiao Wu has just made a name for herself, and I can see our clan rise again!"

The beautiful lady remained silent.

Looking around, Feng Yanfeng stared at Uncle Qiu and the others with a stern look on his face. "Take very good care of Feng Wu. If she needs anything, come and tell us. We'll do our best to meet her needs!"

After that, Feng Yanfeng waved his hand, and some servants brought out a case and set it down in front of Feng Wu.

Feng Wu was baffled by Feng Yanfeng's efforts to show kindness. Her uncle had always been so condescending toward her, but now…

"Xiao Wu, open it." Feng Yanfeng smiled at Feng Wu, looking very fatherly.

Fatherly? The word just didn't match Feng Yanfeng…

Frowning, Feng Wu was about to decline, when Granny Zhao nudged her with her elbow.

After all, they all lived together in the same manor. If the first branch of the clan wanted to play nice, it was better than jumping at each other's throats. There was still a very fragile Lady Xuanji living here in this courtyard now.

Feng Wu was reminded of her beautiful mother as well. Hence, she nodded and opened the case.

Dense spiritual essence filled the air as soon as the red sandalwood case was opened.

Feng Wu asked, "Are they medium-grade spiritual stones?"

Rubbing his smooth chin, Feng Yanfeng raised an eyebrow at Feng Wu. "Xiao Wu, this case of medium-grade spiritual stones are cultivation resources the clan prepared for you. Here's the share for this month. There'll be more next month."

Both Feng Liu and Feng Sang looked jealous.

There were 100 spiritual stones here, and they were just for this month. How generous!

Feng Yanfeng expected Feng Wu to be elated and even cry with joy, but he guessed wrong.

Feng Wu had no reaction when she saw the spiritual stones; she didn't even move a muscle.

She had seen her fair share of spiritual stones — there was a top-grade spiritual stone lode right underneath Fang Manor. A few of those would be worth more than this case of medium-grade spiritual stones. Why would Feng Wu be pleasantly surprised?

After presenting his gift, Feng Yanfeng moved to one side.

Lady Wang stepped out and smiled at Feng Wu.

"Xiao Wu, be good to His Royal Highness. You're a girl, so don't get jealous. Do as you're told and be demure. That should do the trick."

Feng Wu didn't like the sound of that.

As expected, Lady Wang went on. "Of course His Royal Highness won't have you as his official wife. Our family just isn't good enough for that. So, be content when you're made his concubine —"

Before Lady Wang could finish, every member of Fallen Star Yard looked offended. Feng Wu's face darkened as well.

She knew this was going to happen —

They were playing nice only because they saw that Jun Linyuan was familiar with her, so they thought that they could take advantage of the crown prince's favor. They couldn't wait to send her packing as the crown prince's concubine.

Staring coldly at Feng Yanfeng and Lady Wang, Feng Wu asked, "Uncle, Aunt, what's that supposed to mean?"

Feng Yanfeng frowned.

Feng Wu snorted. "I was engaged to Jun Linyuan once, then the marriage contract was annulled. You're telling me now that you want me to become his concubine? Grow a backbone already!"
