Chapter 613 - Sister-in-Law (1)
Wang Ruoxi didn't waste any more time. She went outside with Zhang Wuying to see if the maid was telling the truth. She had a bad feeling about this sudden visit from Feng Tianyi. To think that Tang Moyu would come with him today when Zhang Wuying was here, did the two anticipate that she would see Wang Ruoxi tonight?
Meanwhile, Xing Yiyue chose to return to the bedroom she shared with her husband to change her clothes. She could not allow Tang Moyu to see her like this, not like this. Tang Moyu had once again surpassed her, only to look down on her.
Because she hated being compared to the empress, she made sure that she would never look inferior in terms of appearance whenever she was aware that the empress was around.
Outside the courtyard house, Wang Ruoxi found Feng Tianyi conversing with Tang Moyu lowly. His eyes glanced briefly at Wang Ruoxi and Zhang Wuying when they arrived.
The couple was dressed both in casual business attire. They were wearing dress shirts of the same color.
The empress found it really foolish to wear matching clothes with her husband. She had always scoffed when she saw couples wearing one while dating, and she had never thought that there would be a day she would be wearing one with Feng Tianyi.
However, when Feng Tianyi presented it, she could only swallow her pride and wear it today. Feng Tianyi rarely asked her for something so she obliged this time. She wouldn't even bother to come here with him on such short notice if he hadn't asked her.
Thankfully, she didn't have much to do today in Xiao Xing and had finished today's work earlier, leaving the rest to Cheng Ning back at the company.
Tang Moyu saw the woman who raised her standing next to Wang Ruoxi, but her face remained expressionless. The tension between them was apparent, but neither refused to acknowledge each other's presence, choosing to ignore each other.
"I'll leave now. I suddenly feel ill all of a sudden. I'll visit you again next time." Zhang Wuying told Wang Ruoxi, giving Tang Moyu one last look before turning to leave. She would deal with this woman later, not when Feng Tianyi was around.
Being in the same place with Tang Moyu and the devil wouldn't be ideal for her at this moment. Who knew what kind of lies Tang Moyu whispered to the devil? The way Feng Tianyi was looking at her promised a painful death later.
"Alright. Please be careful on your way." She heard Wang Ruoxi say. "I'm sorry I won't be able to see you off."
Once Zhang Wuying was out of sight, Wang Ruoxi regarded her guests and briefly wondered where her useless daughter-in-law went this time. As Feng Tianhua's wife, Xing Yiyue should be the one to entertain their guests.
"Tianyi, what brings you here?" She asked Feng Tianyi, taking his attention away from Zhang Wuying; her face a little stiff from nervousness. She had never been confident in talking to Feng Tianyi even when he was younger.
"Oh, right. Please come in. I didn't expect you to come today so we aren't prepared." Her eyes then caught a glimpse of Tang Moyu. It was surprising how the sudden turn of events changed everything around them.
Now, Tang Moyu was a 'Madam Feng' but not because she married her son, Feng Tianhua, whom the empress was betrothed for years. It was because Tang Moyu married Song Huifen's son instead.
"Moyu, it's good to see you again. Congratulations on your wedding," Wang Ruoxi greeted the empress, which only gave her a curt nod, as they followed Wang Ruoxi's lead inside the courtyard house—where she lived with Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue. Although her son had gotten married, he still refused to leave her behind, staying alone within the Feng family premises.
"Ah, as you know Lady Wang. I just got married. I have a family now so I intend to move them here." Feng Tianyi didn't beat around the bush and announced his intention.
"H-have you told Tianhua about this? He never mentioned anything about you moving back here," Wang Ruoxi replied. This time, she led the newlywed couple to the lounge area of the house.
"No. Not yet, but he should be on his way here now." Feng Tianyi took a seat next to his wife and crossed his legs lazily. Since he was the master of the house, there was no need for him to be wary of his actions, but that didn't apply to Tang Moyu who was ever proper wherever she was.
"Oh. Then, that's good…" Wang Ruoxi wanted nothing more than to hide from this devil. From the moment she first met this person until now, Feng Tianyi was able to freak the hell out of her. She still could remember clearly how the young Feng Tianyi managed to chase her and her husband out of the Feng Mansion on his own.
"Where's my sister-in-law? I hope that she isn't sulking because of the news circulating around her," Feng Tianyi asked as if he wasn't the reason why Xing Yiyue was being bashed by the netizens online.
"She's pregnant…" Wang Ruoxi explained, "……but she's fine."
At that moment, Xing Yiyue came back dressed in casual home clothes. She greeted Feng Tianyi and Tang Moyu awkwardly before sitting next to Wang Ruoxi. Tang Moyu looked at her and noticed her pale complexion and wondered if Xing Yiyue was really pregnant. Either that, or she was trying to string Feng Tianhua to save herself again.
It was obvious that both women didn't know how to deal with their unexpected guests today and hoped that Feng Tianhua would come soon. Another set of tea was served to their guests, but they remained silent, making the atmosphere more awkward.
It didn't take long for them to wait as Feng Tianhua came rushing, only to find his older brother smiling mockingly at him.
"You're late, Brother."
