ASTRP -Chapter 214 That Child Was Actually the Feng Family’s Third Miss’s Son

Feng Jingge had Zhiliao inform Xiao Jinghan that she would head over later.

Then she instructed Ning’an and Qingshan to stay hidden in the shadows, bringing several other secret guards along as well.

As for Su Xiu, he followed too.

At this moment, the Feng residence resembled an abandoned temple, utterly devoid of life.

The enormous manor felt gloomy and sinister, making people deeply uncomfortable.

“A mansion where people died really is different. It looks like the underworld itself.”

Su Xiu rubbed his arms, feeling somewhat frightened.

But Feng Jingge’s emotions were different.

In her heart, she could only sigh at how things had changed.

The Feng family had committed countless evil deeds—ending up like this was no injustice at all.

The only pity was that the servants had been dragged into it too.

As Feng Jingge stepped inside, Shen Fufeng was already waiting for her.

“You’re here.”

“Jingge, she’s waiting for you in her room. Go in.”

Su Xiu wanted to follow, but Shen Fufeng stopped him.

“You stay here.”

Su Xiu refused. “Why?”

“Because I’m staying here too.”

“…”

Meanwhile, Feng Jingge arrived at Feng Mingyue’s room and raised her hand to knock.

Feng Mingyue hurriedly opened the door.

The moment she saw Feng Jingge, her expression turned emotional.

“Big Sister, I thought you wouldn’t come see me.”

Feng Jingge sized her up. She looked much the same as before.

Only her complexion was somewhat pale.

“You wanted to see me. What is it?”

“Mhm.”

Feng Mingyue quickly shut the door, then pulled Feng Jingge into the inner room.

Lowering her voice, she said, “Big Sister, I have something very important to tell you.”

“Then say it.”

“I… I…”

Feng Mingyue hesitated again and again before finally gathering the courage to speak.

“I have a relationship with Shen Fufeng.”

Feng Jingge froze.

“What do you mean by that?”

“I mean… I’m Shen Fufeng’s woman.”

She paused before continuing.

“Six years ago, when he came looking for you, Big Sister never dared to leave your room.”

“So one night, Shen Fufeng tried sneaking into your room, but I accidentally discovered him.”

“I knew he liked you, so I voluntarily helped cover for him.”

“He was very grateful, and we gradually became friends.”

“But two years ago, after Big Sister jumped into the pond and was rescued, your personality changed drastically. Shen Fufeng was in a terrible mood.”

“He came to me to drink with him…”

“After that, we both got drunk, and then…”

Feng Mingyue couldn’t continue, but Feng Jingge could already guess.

“You slept together after getting drunk?”

Blushing shyly, Feng Mingyue nodded.

“I knew Shen Fufeng didn’t like me, so before he woke up, I left first.”

“I originally intended to bury this matter in my heart forever, but not long afterward, I became pregnant.”

“I didn’t dare tell anyone, and I was afraid others would find out.”

“When my stomach got bigger, I kept pretending to be sick and stayed inside my room.”

“When I gave birth, I didn’t even call for a midwife.”

“After painfully delivering the child myself, I had a maid secretly send the baby to an ordinary couple to raise.”

“Later, because I missed the child too much, I would secretly go see him from time to time.”

“But not long ago, Feng Yunxiao discovered the truth. She threatened to tell Father, and I begged her not to.”

“So she used this matter to blackmail me, wanting me to kill you.”

“But no matter what, I couldn’t bring myself to do it.”

Only then did Feng Jingge finally understand why Feng Mingyue’s attitude toward her had suddenly changed back then.

So she had wanted to cling to Feng Jingge for protection.

It wasn’t because, as she claimed, she simply couldn’t bear to harm her.

In the end, wasn’t it only because Feng Jingge had become a princess consort that she no longer dared touch her?

Sigh.

“What happened afterward?”

The moment Feng Jingge asked, she suddenly thought of that child.

“No way…”

“A few months ago, the child left at the Prince’s Manor entrance… was that your son?”

Feng Mingyue nodded.

“Yes, it was him.”

“I knew Feng Yunxiao would never let me go, and she would definitely use the child to threaten me.”

“So I came up with that desperate plan and had a maid secretly leave the child outside the Prince Consort’s residence.”

“I was afraid you and the Prince wouldn’t like him, so I showed him portraits of you and the Prince.”

“And I taught him that whenever he saw those two people, he should call them Father and Mother.”

So that was the truth.

“And Shen Fufeng doesn’t know about this child?”

“Mhm. I didn’t dare tell him.”

“He doesn’t like me. I’m afraid he wouldn’t like the child either.”

“What if he kills the child too?”

“I didn’t dare gamble on it.”

As she spoke, Feng Mingyue suddenly knelt before Feng Jingge.

“Big Sister, I’m entrusting this child to you. Will you help me raise him?”

“Get up quickly.”

Feng Jingge pulled her to her feet but did not agree immediately.

“Shen Fufeng killed everyone in the Feng family except you. That means he can’t possibly feel nothing for you.”

But Feng Mingyue gave a bitter smile.

“No. He doesn’t like me at all.”

“The reason he didn’t kill me was because I kept begging him.”

“Begging him to let me see you one last time.”

She even said that if she hadn’t used Feng Jingge as an excuse, Shen Fufeng would never have softened his heart.

“Big Sister, with the Feng family ending up like this now, perhaps this is retribution.”

“I wasn’t exactly a good person before either, so ending up like this is only natural.”

Back then, seeing Shen Fufeng like Feng Jingge while ignoring her made her both jealous and resentful toward Feng Jingge.

So whenever Feng Yunxiao bullied Feng Jingge, not only did she refuse to help—

she even joined Feng Yunxiao in tormenting her.

Someone like her deserved her current fate.

The only thing she couldn’t bear to part with was her child.

That was her only attachment left.

Suddenly, Feng Jingge grabbed her hand and pulled her outside.

“Come on, let’s tell Shen Fufeng.”

“Tell him you gave birth to his child—”

“No… we can’t tell him.”

Feng Mingyue refused desperately, clearly terrified.

“Big Sister, if he finds out, he’ll definitely hurt the child.”

“I’m begging you, please don’t tell him, alright?”

Seeing Feng Mingyue crying, Feng Jingge sighed helplessly.

“But if he really intends to kill you, can you bear leaving your child behind?”

Feng Mingyue bit her lip.

“This is my fate… and my debt to him.”

“You don’t owe him anything.”

“If anything, he owes you.”

“If he hadn’t asked you to drink with him, you wouldn’t have ended up involved with him.”

“And you wouldn’t have given birth to his child.”

Feng Mingyue shook her head.

“You absolutely can’t tell him. Big Sister, I hope you’ll help me keep this secret from him.”

“Sigh, fine. However you choose to handle this is your decision.”

“Don’t worry about the child. I’ll raise him well.”

Feng Jingge patted the back of her hand gently.

“But I still think you should tell him about the child.”

“After all, it’s his biological son. Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its own cubs.”

“I think for the child’s sake, he probably wouldn’t kill you.”

Yet Feng Mingyue stubbornly refused to tell Shen Fufeng about the child.

Feng Jingge did not press her further.

She had already said all she could.
