The injuries to Feng Zhenzhen from the fire were truly horrific, with not a single patch of skin unscathed; it was terrifying.

Feng Xintong said she was heading to school, but actually she went to find Qin Cuifen. Her original plan was to kill Qin Cuifen after she started the fire to silence her, but unexpectedly, Qin Cuifen cunningly escaped on her own.

She’s a menace; no matter what, Xintong must silence her.

If grandfather finds out, she’ll be done for as well.

At dinner time, the usually lively dining room was rather empty. Mr. Feng appeared, leaning on his cane, and looked around the dining room, displeased, asking, "Where is everyone?"

"Not back yet."

Mr. Feng sat down, "Something happened to Zhenzhen, and now no one’s coming back, though usually they can’t be driven away. Xiao Ni."

"Here, sir."

"Take a count of who isn’t coming back tonight, and let them know they needn’t return in the future." Mr. Feng wiped his hands with a towel and began to eat.

His dinner was very simple, bird’s nest porridge with a bit of small hometown-flavored dishes.

"Yes." Chief Ni answered expressionlessly.

However, all servants and chefs in the dining room were shocked.

The gentleman’s words are final; saying not to return means not returning, the estate should not be stepped into again, what difference does it make from being expelled from the estate?

Everyone said the gentleman no longer cherished Lady Zhenzhen, but looking at it now, that’s not the case; Lady Zhenzhen was burned, and the gentleman was furious.

Mr. Feng was halfway through his meal when Housekeeper Xing finally returned from the hospital.

Chief Ni raised his hand, leading the servants away, leaving the dining room empty.

"You’re back, have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Housekeeper Xing answered honestly.

"Then join me!"

"Sure." Housekeeper Xing sat at the side, serving himself a bowl of porridge and taking a piece of egg pancake to eat.

Mr. Feng patiently finished his meal before asking, "How is Zhenzhen? Can she recover?"

Housekeeper Xing put down the pancake, shaking his head with a serious expression, "No, there will be a series of skin graft surgeries, but neither her physical functions nor appearance can return to their original state."

Massive areas of deep burns across her body, with the tendons in her right arm burnt and contracted; the entire right arm is useless.

"Just withdrew her covert protection and she nearly lost her life; how can such an heir allow me to entrust the family’s future to her?"

Housekeeper Xing’s role is to maintain neutrality; he truly doesn’t know if Lady Zhenzhen was too naive or sheltered too much since childhood, forgetting her own danger.

All along, he has assigned special personnel to protect Lady Zhenzhen, and it was only since the banquet began that he officially withdrew the personnel from around her, unexpectedly, something happened that very night.

"What about Qin Cuifen? Was she captured?" Mr. Feng is absolutely unwilling to allow Qin Cuifen to continue living in this world. He might be dissatisfied with his heir, but there’s no reason to hand her over to someone else.

Qin Cuifen must die.

"Miss Sheng Ning has taken hold of her, so our personnel withdrew." Housekeeper Xing replied, "Qin Cuifen had animosity with Miss Sheng Ning back in the country, and on the ship, Qin Cuifen almost managed to kill her."

"Well done, make sure to confirm the death."

"I will, and regarding the mastermind behind the release..."

Housekeeper Xing hadn’t finished speaking before Mr. Feng interrupted, "Having a scapegoat will suffice, I temporarily don’t want to uncover the mastermind."
