Chapter 107: If You Pretend Too Much, Your Face Will Produce a Louder Sound When Slapped

Feng Xiang saw Su Ji hurry off to conduct the autopsy, and he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Doctor Su was definitely on his side. Otherwise, how could he have just ‘happened to pass by’?

The heavens were on his side!

“Sis, I’m really sorry, but Doctor Su is here. So the truth…” Feng Xiupei was no longer worried, but she continued to look at Feng Tianlan with guilty eyes. “No matter what the truth turns out to be, I won’t let you go to jail. I will bear the guilt and make sure you live on without having to worry about anything.”

Seeing Feng Xiupei’s realistic acting, Feng Tianlan smiled and said calmly, “The autopsy results aren’t out yet, so stop pretending like you’re going to take the rap for me and mislead the public into believing that I’m the killer.”

Given the earlier brawl with the old lady, it was obvious that this was all their doing to make sure that Feng Tianlan was found guilty. Given the little time they’d had to plan, this scheme was impressive.

“Sis,” Feng Xiupei cried sorrowfully, “did I do something wrong? You won’t acknowledge me no matter what I do?”

She was sure that Su Ji was on her side, so how would Feng Tianlan defend herself? In the public’s eyes, she was merely quibbling.

“My dear sister, if you pretend too much, your face will produce a louder sound when slapped.” Feng Tianlan smiled mockingly. But she couldn’t understand why Su Ji had glared at her like that earlier since she’d had no prior issues with him.

If he were really here to help Feng Xiupei and the gang, then she might be in some trouble.

Feng Xiupei was extremely cunning, and it was too tiring to talk to her. If she were as dumb as Feng Xiuyu, then the loopholes would have presented themselves way earlier, and she might have been slapped in the face several times by now.

Xu Jiayi saw the exchange from the sidelines then threw a look at the people standing near the door. Immediately, there was an outcry from the people.

“Second Miss is way too kind! For Feng Tianlan’s sake, she’s willing to take the blame and die. Such a beautiful and kind person is like a fairy among us. We can’t let her be a scapegoat like this.”

“Feng Tianlan is so disgusting, right? Second Miss is so considerate, but she’s been standing there, not daring to move or talk. Now, she even says that Second Miss is acting.”

“One is a fairy from heaven, and the other is mud from the swamp. The killer must be Feng Tianlan. She’s trying to frame her sister.”

“…”

The murmurs in the crowd continued to blame Feng Tianlan, and they gossiped about how evil and heartless she was.

The governor tried to quiet down the crowd several times but failed. Instead, he realized that if he continued trying, the crowd might become violent and trash the place. So, he had to hold in his temper and sit back down. Still, his anger flared as he looked at the calm and unbothered Feng Tianlan.

She had been cursed at and falsely accused, but she did not respond or defend herself. Instead, she remained utterly unmoved and confident, as if she weren’t the person the crowd was talking about.

Not to mention, those people who’d shouted the ugliest things about her had clearly been paid to do it. How could she just stand there?

She didn’t seem the least bit nervous, but the governor was going to die from anxiety soon. Would it kill Feng Tianlan to defend herself?

Feng Xiang and the rest were confident that, this time, they could take Feng Tianlan down. They also knew that there was no point in talking anymore, and they could only wait quietly for the autopsy results. One word from Su Ji was enough to send Feng Tianlan to hell. After that, Feng Xiang could do whatever he wanted to her.

Feng Xiang couldn’t hide his smile as he thought about how he was soon able to threaten Feng Tianlan and get that token back.

After about half an hour, Su Ji walked out and looked strangely at Feng Xiupei for a long while before finally announcing, “The autopsy results are in.”
