Chapter 3066 — The Plot Exposed

In Dongfang Xiaocui's eyes, only when all these people were dead would no one be left to threaten her position!
"The Dongfang family? Well, it's not entirely out of the question," Dongfang Xiaocui said after a moment's thought. "But if the Dongfang family is going to step in, you must keep it secret. I don't want Tianlin finding out it was my hand behind this."
"Of course, Second Sister-in-law. We've worked together so many times—don't you trust me by now? Rest assured, once Xu Shilan is dead, the thorn in my heart will be pulled, and I'll have nothing left to hold me back. From then on, I certainly won't stand in the way of Shipian's rise."
"Fine, those are your words, and I'll remember them. If you go back on them, the Dongfang family will not let you off!" Dongfang Xiaocui threatened.
"Naturally, naturally!" Feng Tianhu sneered inwardly. The Dongfang family? No matter how formidable they were, they would never go to war with the ancient Feng family over a single daughter like Dongfang Xiaocui. After all, every ancient family and sect had its own rules—if outsiders could meddle at will, wouldn't that mean anyone could meddle in the future?
These rules were implicit, and no one would dare to break them.
"All right, I understand. This time I'll arrange for several top experts at the peak of the late Earth rank to go," Dongfang Xiaocui said.
"Good, then. Second Sister-in-law, I'll take my leave now..." Feng Tianhu did not dare linger. If Feng Tianqi came back and saw him conspiring with Dongfang Xiaocui, his plan would be ruined.
Not long after Feng Tianhu left, Feng Tianqi indeed returned. Dongfang Xiaocui hastily put her phone down and hurried to greet him, putting on an air of utmost concern. "Tianlin, I heard something happened to Shipian. What exactly is going on? Is it serious?"
"It's nothing. I'll handle it." Feng Tianqi clearly did not wish to say much. Toward Dongfang Xiaocui, he had never quite been at ease. This woman had once led men to beat Xu Shilan's mother into a critically wounded state, her life hanging in the balance—how could Feng Tianqi possibly trust her?
Yet Dongfang Xiaocui's status left him helpless, and she did truly love him. Apart from the matter of Xu Shilan, she behaved impeccably in all other things, and so Feng Tianqi had lived with her all this time.
"As long as it's nothing!" Dongfang Xiaocui breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Tianlin, it's been so long since we were intimate. I'll go take a bath first..."
With that, Dongfang Xiaocui threw Feng Tianqi a seductive glance and headed toward the bathroom. She was now trying with all her might to please Feng Tianqi. When Xu Shilan was dead, no wall in the world could keep out the wind—if Feng Tianqi ever found out, what would become of Dongfang Xiaocui?
So she would curry favor with him in advance, so that even if he learned the truth, he would be helpless to act. She planned to spend the next few days wildly indulging and pleasing Feng Tianqi.
It had to be said that Dongfang Xiaocui had preserved herself well. She was the eldest young lady of the ancient Dongfang family, and the Dongfang family was among the foremost of the ancient families, possessing several youth-preserving pills. Though Dongfang Xiaocui was no Heaven-rank expert, she had taken a youth-preserving pill as well, so her looks were still quite beautiful, and she carried the nobility and allure of a mature young matron. That single seductive glance set Feng Tianqi's lower body burning...
Feng Tianqi was in a poor mood, and venting a little with Dongfang Xiaocui would not be bad. He drew a deep breath and took off his outer robe, preparing to bathe—but just then, Dongfang Xiaocui's phone chimed with a text message.
"Beep-beep..."
