"If you don't have the courage, there's no reason for him to feel threatened by you. In that case, there's no reason for him to call off the marriage."2

That was an outright threat.

"You!" Chaoge bellowed. "You're threatening Xiao Wu!"

Feng Qi shrugged. "Of course not. I'm just stating the facts."

Chaoge held Feng Wu's hand. "Xiao Wu, don't listen to her. We have many ways to cancel that marriage. You can always go to His Royal Highness for help."

"I'll go," said Feng Wu.

Feng Qi immediately looked relieved. "Sister Xiao Wu, you have to keep your promise, then. I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon, and we'll go together."

Feng Wu nodded.

Feng Qi happily left with her maid.

As soon as Feng Qi left, Chaoge's face darkened. "Xiao Wu, how could you say yes? You know perfectly well how dangerous it is!"

Feng Wu beamed at her.

She asked, "What do you think of Fallen Star Yard?"

Chaoge said, "It's great! Also, it's so well-guarded that no one can get in."

Feng Wu looked up at the sky and asked, "Do you know what the best defense is?"

Chaoge shook her head.

"Attack." Feng Wu smiled at her.

Chaoge's eyes lit up. "Are you saying that you know how dangerous it is, but you're still going because you want to initiate an attack?"

Feng Wu nodded.

Chaoge was concerned. "You've come up with a thorough plan, right? Please don't put yourself in danger."

Feng Wu nodded, just to appease her.

In reality, every plan could go wrong, and nothing was absolutely safe.

Feng Wu didn't know what tricks the Gu family would play. She would just go with the flow.

The next day, Feng Qi arrived early in the afternoon.

Chaoge answered the door.

She glared at Feng Qi. "I'm going, too!"

Feng Qi smirked inwardly.

"Of course. Come with us," she said without hesitation.

At an angle the others couldn't see, Feng Qi had a sinister smile on her face.

They soon left.

Lady Gu and Lady Wang shared a carriage.

Feng Qi, Feng Wu, Feng Sang, and Chaoge were in another.

The maids all sat in a third carriage.

Qiuling's hand was almost healed, and she insisted on going with Feng Wu, so Feng Wu let her go as well.

Lady Gu and Feng Qi were astonished when they saw Qiuling.

Gu Xingyuan had told them that he had cut off Qiuling's hand in revenge, but now…

Lady Gu and Feng Qi looked at each other.

Qiuling still had both hands!

Lady Gu asked Qiuling excitedly, "What's going on with your hand? I thought you were severely injured!"

Qiuling said indifferently, "Do you want to ask why I still have this hand?"

Lady Gu gritted her teeth and nodded.

Qiuling smiled. "It's thanks to Miss Wu's great medical skills. She can reattach severed hands."
