Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 971: Chapter 882: Defend Our Land and Rivers 12

That’s why Fang Meijuan suspected that it was Kou Shuangshuang who did it out of jealousy. Fang Meijuan had her reasons for thinking this way; she wasn’t completely naive. She knew, just like her husband Du Zongze, that most men don’t disregard their concubines.

More men prefer to spoil their charming concubines, leading to the main wives feeling jealous and competing for attention with the concubines. So Fang Meijuan thought, could it be that Kou Shuangshuang was only pretending to be generous on the surface and was actually jealous behind the scenes?

Kou Shuangshuang pretended not to notice Fang Meijuan’s gaze and still smiled sweetly, saying, ”Mother, husband is just having some playful intimacy with Liu in the bedroom. It’s just a bit too intense, which left some marks.” Kou Shuangshuang’s words were somewhat flippant and disdainful, showing her discontent with Fang Meijuan’s suspicion.

However, Fang Meijuan didn’t catch Kou Shuangshuang’s sarcasm at all; she only heard one thing - that the injury on her son’s face was done by Liu Feifei, whom she had recently made her son’s concubine, and seeing that Du Haokun didn’t deny it, Fang Meijuan knew it was true.

Confirming that it was really Liu Feifei who hurt her son like this, Fang Meijuan was furious, her face darkening. But right now, Fang Meijuan couldn’t care less about Liu Feifei; she was more concerned about her son’s injury, urgently calling for the servants to get a doctor.

After the servants left, Fang Meijuan reached out to pull Du Haokun down to sit, accidentally grabbing his injured hand, causing Du Haokun to hiss in pain. Lowering her head, Fang Meijuan saw the horrifying bite wound on her son’s hand.

The wound looked truly terrifying, with the flesh curled and bruised around it, making Fang Meijuan’s heart ache so much that tears almost fell. She gently held Du Haokun’s hand, and after a long moment, she fumed, ”This was also bitten by Liu Feifei!”

Du Haokun embarrassingly acknowledged, feeling humiliated that such a strong man as himself was hurt like this by a little woman. Yet he couldn’t do anything to Liu Feifei, not only because Liu Feifei was a woman but also because she was his mother Fang Meijuan’s niece; he couldn’t be harsh on Liu Feifei.

The result of not being able to be harsh on Liu Feifei was being scratched and bitten like this. Du Haokun felt embarrassed, but Fang Meijuan didn’t think so. She was both distressed and furious, and also very regretful.

If it hadn’t been for her wanting Liu Feifei to be her son’s concubine and if it hadn’t been for her locking them in a room to force some intimacy between them, her cherished son, who she’d protected since childhood, wouldn’t have gotten hurt like this.

The more Fang Meijuan thought about it, the angrier she got, eventually slamming the table and ordering someone to bring Liu Feifei over. It was unacceptable that on the first day of marriage, she injured her husband like this. If Lady Meijuan didn’t deal with Liu Feifei properly, Liu Feifei would think she could get away with anything just because she was her niece.

Liu Feifei, at this moment, was still lying on the bed in the room, weeping and entirely forgetting about the morning obligation to serve tea to Kou Shuangshuang. She was engulfed in despair and couldn’t escape her dark imaginings about her future, deeply upset and unable to contain her sorrow.

Liu Feifei was indeed deeply infatuated with Du Haokun, but at the same time, she also hoped that she could rely on Du Haokun to change her fate. Liu Feifei didn’t want to continue living under someone else’s roof, only pleasing others without ever being genuinely respected.

She dreaded marrying into an outside family because no matter how good a family outside was, it couldn’t match the influence of the Du Family in H City. The Du Family were warlords, and becoming the wife of the Du Family’s heir meant walking with pride in H City.

Even though Liu Feifei’s dream of becoming Du Haokun’s wife shattered, it didn’t matter. Her cousin wasn’t fond of other women, and as the woman who had the most contact and the only one treated kindly by Du Haokun,

Liu Feifei believed that if she and Du Haokun got together, whether due to their childhood bond or their cousin relationship, even as a concubine, she would become one who could overshadow the main wife.

Although the concubines of Uncle Du Zongze were as timid as mice in front of Aunt Fang Meijuan, it wasn’t because Fang Meijuan was so capable, but because Du Zongze’s nature was different from other men.

When Liu Feifei served Fang Meijuan during her card games, she got used to hearing the envy of Fang Meijuan’s noble friends, each gritting their teeth, cursing the concubines who seemed to step over them, and complaining about how their husbands embarrassed them for the sake of another woman.

There were even noblewomen crying their woes, saying their husbands had the audacity to bring their concubines to big events, making the concubines shine while the main wife was ignored, and outsiders even calling the concubine the young lady, disrespecting the main wife.

Unlike Fang Meijuan, who was indignant upon hearing this, Liu Feifei only felt agitated and a bit excited. At that time, Liu Feifei had already determined she wanted to become a concubine who could put the main wife beneath her.

Once, Liu Feifei thought fulfilling this idea wasn’t difficult. She even humbled herself, pleading with her rival Kou Shuangshuang, to become Du Haokun’s concubine.

Liu Feifei just wanted to become her cousin’s woman, using his affection to turn the tables, putting Kou Shuangshuang under her. But this delusion was entirely shattered after one night of arguments.

Last night, Liu Feifei was first hurt by Du Haokun’s attitude. When she asked if Du Haokun liked her, Du Haokun completely denied ever having any affection for her and said many harsh things that broke Liu Feifei’s heart.

At first, Liu Feifei begged and pleaded, cried, and made a scene, but Du Haokun only wanted to leave. When he couldn’t get out, he turned his back on her, pretending to sleep on the bed. Liu Feifei undressed to seduce him, but Du Haokun, with a stern face, scolded her, calling her shameless.

Now Liu Feifei found herself at a dead end. If she couldn’t become Du Haokun’s beloved concubine, her future would be bleak. She’d have to live under the thumb of her enemy Kou Shuangshuang, a life Liu Feifei couldn’t bear to imagine. She absolutely couldn’t allow herself to fall into such a pitiful state.

In an attempt to recover the imagined affection that Du Haokun supposedly held for her, Liu Feifei used every trick she could think of, but none of them softened Du Haokun’s heart. Instead, Du Haokun became increasingly irritated, his gaze toward her growing more disdainful, which deeply hurt Liu Feifei.

In her previous life, when trying to trip up Kou Shuangshuang, Liu Feifei used every dirty trick available, proving she was never a fragile little girl, but a woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, sometimes even ruthless.

Thanks to Kou Shuangshuang’s shrewdness, there were several instances in the past life where she narrowly escaped catastrophe thanks to Liu Feifei’s schemes, showing Liu Feifei was never the delicate girl she appeared to be.
