Chapter 64: She is dead!
"Feng Mian, is not a part of this family anymore. This you also Know and they also"
"But why?" Madam Wen asked impatiently.
"I think this is enough for today, Shaung" said Old master Feng not wanting to stretch this topic anymore.
"Just because, she married a person you don't want her to?" said Madam Wen, as her eyes became teary.
All of the people present had some questions but the atmosphere was so dense that no one dared to ask.
On hearing Madam Wen, Feng Jing raised his eyebrow. This was something unexpected, as he was unaware of this side of the story.
According to the stories told by other family members, Feng Mian was his father's sister and was Grandfather's beloved who had left home because she did not wanted to be the part of this high society, and hence she isolated herself from the Feng's and ceased to be a part of the family.
"Zhou Shuang, there's no need to bring this up" said Li Lian as she squeezed Madam Wen's arm as sign to stop her.
On hearing Li Lian, Madam Wen scoffed and said, "Why? What had Mian done wrong? Just because she married someone insignificant, she was reduced to this state."
"For you this would be a small matter, but for me it wasn't" Old Feng said.
After a pause he continued, " She had tarnished the reputation of the her family. I, as her father, made all the decisions for her goodwill. But she defied me and you know the rule of the family. And so I had to take a rough decision like that."
"And as her father, you didn't regret it or did you even tried to make up with her?" asked Madam Wen and after a pause she turned to Feng Shen.
"And Brother Shen, as her brother you also turned a blind eye towards her"
"I-I" Feng Shen wanted to say something but he knew that saying anything would be in vain.
Feng Kang sighed, and said, "Do you think that I was enjoying doing it? If it wasn't for the words that I gave-" but was cut off by Madam Wen.
"These are all just excuses, Uncle Feng. The truth is that you were blinded by your hunger for pride and fame that you didn't even-"
"Stop! Say no more" shouted Old Master Feng. "Cough, CoughCough" Old Master Feng coughed vigorously.
"Father"
"Grandfather"
All the men dashed to Feng Kang on seeing him uncomfortable. But as they were coming, Feng Kang gestured them to stop as a sign that it was ok.
Madam Wen, was also worried about Feng Kang but decided to approach him.
"I think that Old Master Feng need to rest. So this will be my last question, after that I will leave peacefully." said Madam Wen with a hoarse voice.
"Do you know who Feng Mian married? Do you have any clue where is she now?" said Madam Wen.
".."
The room was utterly silent.
"Seeing that there you all are not answering me I should take this as a No" said Madam Wen.
After pause, she continued, "So do you still deny the fact that you are only concerned about your family's pride and fame. Tell me Uncle Feng, Brother Shen. Do you still deny the fact that you were incompetent as Feng Mian's family"
"I won't" said Feng Kang as tears made way through his eyes.
Seeing him cry, all the Feng family members were shocked. It was very rare to see him cry.
"Then I shall take my leave" said Madam Wen as she bowed and turned around to leave.
"Wait Shuang"
Feng Shen's voice made Madam Wen stop in her tracks. Without turning around she stopped.
"Why did you bring this topic after all this time?" asked Feng Shen.
Madam Wen with lifeless smile said, "Because I met her"
Both Feng Kang and Feng Shen were shocked.
"Can I see her?" asked Feng Kang.
"After all this I think that you have lost the right to see her" said Madam Wen.
"Zhou Shu-" Feng Shen wanted to say something but was interrupted by Feng Kang.
"It's true. I have lost the right" said Feng Kang with a apologetic expression.
"Father" said Feng Shen with a guilty expression.
'Well She's right I lost the right to be called her brother the day I let her set foot out of this mansion.' Feng Shen said as he sighed.
"Then can you do me a favour Shaung?"
What is it, Uncle Feng?" asked Madam Wen.
"Tell her that I am sorry. Tell her to return back. Ask her that if she can forgive us" said Feng Kang.
Hearing this Madam Wen smiled wryly.
"I would if i had the power. I would if you had realized this earlier" She said.
"W-what do you mean? You know where she is, right? Then take me to her, I will beg her, I will do anything as long as it takes for her to forgive me. Please I beg of you" said Feng Kang.
"I am afraid that you don't have the courage to see her, and that I don't have the courage to see her again" said Madam Wen.
Seeing that, this was going no where, Feng Shen rushed to Madam Wen and held her shoulders, shaking her and said, "Please, Shuang!"
"I can't"
"Why? Why you can't?" Feng Shen shouted.
Instead of answering , Madam Wen brushed of Feng Shen's hand and retreated back.
Seeing that she was still not answering, Feng Shen's eyes turned into a dangerous glare.
"Just tell me! Where is she?" shouted Feng Shen.
"Dead" shouted Madam Wen as she broke into tears.
"What?" asked Feng Shen not believing his ears.
"She is dead! Did you listen? She is no more! She left us!" said Madam Wen, followed by her sobs.
And the next moment the entire room was filled with gasps.
