The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

“I didn’t.”

“Is that so?” Feng Lianqing smirked. “You didn’t tell His Highness that it was Miss Feng who harmed the little prince, did you?”

Lianyi shuddered and lifted her head in fright.

Big Brother Feng had found out about this after all…

She bit down hard on her lip as her body trembled. Endless fear was spreading in her chest, and her heart threatened to stop beating.

“Lianyi, why did you do this? Miss Feng didn’t do anything, so why did you want to frame her?” Feng Lianqing’s expression was white with fury. “I’ve found it odd from the start. Why didn’t His Highness punish me for losing the little prince but had commended me instead? So it was all because of you!”

Lianyi was pale as fear surfaced in her eyes.

“I wasn’t… I wasn’t trying to harm her. I just wanted to save you, Big Brother Feng. I did all of this because of you.”

Feng Lianqing closed his eyes…

Since when did his pure and kind childhood friend become such a stranger? She had become so different that he could not recognize her.

After a moment, Feng Lianqing opened his eyes. “Lianyi, when have you become this way? I thought you were just aloof but still had a pure heart. How did you end up like this? Does… Master know about this?”

The hands on either side of Lianyi were shaking. “Bir Brother Feng, I was afraid that His Highness would punish you, so I did this to free you from punishment. I don’t have any ulterior motives, and I’m not the type of person who frames others. I really didn’t do it on purpose…”

Right. She had done all this for Big Brother Feng.

She had done this so that he would not receive any punishment.

She did not do this for herself!

Feng Lianqing stared at Lianyi for a moment. “Do you still like that man named Nan Xian?”

Feng Lianqing had noticed Lianyi’s intention from the start, so he had warned her at the spirit beast mountain.

He thought Lianyi had understood his meaning and given up on that married man, but she still ended up doing something unforgivable like this.

Lianyi shook her head nervously. “I don’t! I won’t become someone’s concubine! He has a wife, how could I… how could I like him?”

She could almost believe what she had just said.

Feng Lianqing snorted. “You don’t want to be a concubine, so you planned to harm Miss Feng and take her place.”

Lianyi took a few steps back and stared at Feng Lianqing, disappointed.

“We grew up together. Don’t you believe me? Big Brother Feng, in your eyes, am I such a person? I only told this lie because of you! Since when have I done anything for me?”

The funny thing was, Big Brother Feng did not believe her…

“I don’t care about your explanation. When Master comes back, I will report this to him.”

Feng Lianqing looked at Lianyi one last time before turning to leave.

Lianyi panicked completely. She rushed over to hug Feng Lianqing’s leg as tears poured from her eyes. Her voice was sorrowful. “Big Brother Feng, don’t tell the general. He’ll chase me out!”

Feng Lianqing stopped. He said nothing to the girl clinging onto him.

“Big Brother Feng, I beg you, don’t tell the general. If I’m chased out of General Manor, I’ll definitely die!” Lianyi’s voice was hoarse. “I’ve never spoken about my past because to me, that was a nightmare. That’s why I have always claimed to be an orphan.”
