Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 705 The Reckoning (1)

Zhao Shunchang hesitated for a moment and turned away from Sun Fengzi and her son. He ran over to take the phone and answered the call. “Okay, okay, I’ll bring her over right away.”

The moment Sun Fengzi heard the phone ring, her heart got caught in her throat. Seeing that Zhao Shunchang had picked up the phone and returned, she could not help but stand up and ask, “What… What did the former master say?”.

“The former master said… that he wanted you at the main residence immediately. Otherwise, he would personally bring people over to look for you.”

Sun Fengzi broke down in an instant and her entire body became somewhat numb. Her body swayed, and she directly collapsed on the chair behind her. Even her gaze lost its focus.

Zhao Shunchang had a bad feeling about this. With a disappointed expression, he asked again, “What exactly did you do to make him so angry that he would personally call you over?”

“How many times have I said it? I didn’t do anything. He’s being weird. What can I do about it?”

Zhao Shunchang was losing patience. “You still say that even now, you…”

“Enough!” Before Zhao Shunchang could finish, Zhao Yifei had already shouted impatiently and interrupted the quarrel between the two of them, “What’s there to argue about? He only asked you to go over. Maybe he just wants to discuss something with you? You’re the one being weird. Even if you’re truly innocent, others would think that you’re guilty of something, alright?” Sun Fengzi’s face darkened, and she stopped speaking

After hearing Zhao Yifei’s words, Zhao Shunchang also realized that he had indeed overreacted. He pursed his lips and stopped speaking

Zhao Yifei took the opportunity to wink at Sun Fengzi. He coughed lightly and said, “Alright, didn’t grandfather say that you should bring mom over immediately? Then why are you still dawdling here? Let’s go, I’ll go with you guys.”

“Yifei, you’re going too?” Sun Fengzi stiffened. She was about to advise Zhao Yifei not to go with them. If something really bad were to be exposed, Zhao Yifei would be scolded for nothing.

But just as she started to speak, she met Zhao Yifei’s warning eyes. Her heart trembled, but she said nothing.

When Sun Fengzi’s family rushed to the Zhao family, almost everyone was sitting in the hall waiting for them.

Sun Fengzi quietly glanced at the people in the hall. When she saw the girl kneeling in front of everyone with her head lowered, her expression changed. Two big words flashed through her mind: It’s over!

When they heard footsteps, Duan Yarong and the others turned their heads at the same time. They saw Sun Fengzi’s family walking toward them. Everyone’s faces turned ugly.

The former master was the calmest among them, at least on the surface.

Seeing them walk over, the former master muttered some greetings at them with mixed emotions, “You’re here.”

Sun Fengzi maintained the smile on her face and asked in a low voice, “Dad, why did you suddenly call us here in such a hurry?”

The former master stared at Sun Fengzi’s face quietly for a long time, which made Sun Fengzi’s hair stand on end. Then, he said faintly, “Don’t you know why I called you here?”

The curve of Sun Fengzi’s mouth stiffened. She laughed dryly and said, “Dad, you must be joking. It was you who called us here. How would we know what you called us here for?”

The former master snorted coldly and threw a small packet of paper in front of Sun Fengzi. “Do you perhaps remember this?”

Sun Fengzi’s expression changed slightly, but she still said stubbornly, “I… I don’t know what this thing is. I’ve never seen it before.”

“Oh, really?” Zhao Youlin interrupted at the right moment. “But this girl here said that you were the one who gave this thing to her.”

Sun Fengzi’s face suddenly changed, and she looked at Xiao Wen with hatred. “She’s lying. I’ve never seen her before. Why would I give her anything?”

Xiao Wen panicked when he heard Sun Fengzi’s words. She raised her head reflexively to ask Zhao Youlin for help, but she found Zhao Youlin was also looking at her.

However, Zhao Youlin’s gaze was calm, profound, and there was a hint of ice in the depths of her eyes.

Xiao Wen’s heart trembled slightly as she recalled what Zhao Youlin had said previously. She bit her lip and avoided Sun Fengzi’s angry gaze. She retorted with a trembling but firm voice, “This thing was… it was given to me by the third madam. Just yesterday, in the evening, when no one was around, she secretly pulled me aside and gave me this bag to add to Madam Yue’s food. You even said that this was only a laxative. You just didn’t like seeing a commoner sit on equal footing as you and wanted to teach her a lesson. You didn’t really want to hurt her.”

Xiao Wen paused for a moment and closed her eyes, embarrassed. She continued, “At that time, you even said that you would give me a generous reward after the deed was done. At first, I wasn’t willing. When you saw me hesitating, you… Instead, threatened me that if I didn’t do as you said, you… you would throw my family out of Shalnork.”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

“I’m not. Everything I said is true. If there’s even the slightest bit of falsehood, then let me… Let me die a horrible death!” Xiao Wen saw that Sun Fengzi had flatly denied it. She gritted her teeth and made an oath on the spot.

“You…” Sun Fengzi was really about to die from anger. She never thought that the chess piece that she had spent so much effort to bribe and coerce would bite back at her at this time, in front of so many people.

When Zhao Yifei heard Xiao Wen’s words, his heart skipped a beat. He vaguely guessed that Sun Fengzi had done something that angered the gods. He gritted his teeth and secretly regretted not listening to that person before. He had to give this idiot mother of his a good beating and remind her not to drag him down!

While Zhao Yifei was regretting it all, Zhao Shunchang was puzzled. “Dad, what are you all talking about? Why can’t I understand a single word? What’s in the paper bag? Why do you all look so furious?”

“You want to know?” The former master looked at his third son with disappointment. As if he had thought of something unpleasant, he raised the crutch in his hand and tapped the ground a few times, making a series of banging sounds. The people by the sidelines were scared out of their wits. “Then ask your wife.”

“Dad…” Zhao Shunchang was alarmed and turned to Sun Fengzi. “Fengzi, you…”
