Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1276 This time Feng Shufen would finish me up.

Feng Yi Lan almost screamed out in fear, flinching at that touch. But then she heard the weak voice of the woman that made her realize that down on her feet it was no other but her mother.

"Yi Lan, my sweet daughter, save your mother. Save me, otherwise, I would die." Zhen Qinrou's voice came. Even though Yi Lan was not able to see her face, she could make out the line of her crumbled figure in the darkness.

Frowning at her condition like that, she was the first to walk and switch on the lights. Then looking back at the woman on the floor, she asked, "What do you think you are doing? Quickly, get up"

Zhen Qinrou raised her face to look at the girl and Feng Yi Lan was taken aback by the look her mother was carrying. Her complexion was so pale that if one looked, they would say her soul was on the edge of losing her body, freeing it from life, while there were dark circles down her eyes making her face look hollower than it was. Her body was trembling continuously as if except for fear she was surrounded by nothing.

"Yi Lan, first promise me that you will save me. I am your mother after all. Tell me you will save me from everything that is coming my way." New chapters are published on NoᴠelFɪre.net

The more Feng Yi Lan looked at her like that the more scared she was. The more the woman was dreaded with her guilt, the bigger sin she must have committed, she knew. And that sin was something that alarmed Feng Yi Lan

"I am not the Almighty with superpowers. How do you expect me to save you? Furthermore, your sins are miles away from being atoned for. Except restraining yourself from committing more, nothing could save you now." Feng Yi Lan has never been too close with her mother. Once in the very early life, she was but as she grew up and started understanding her personality and nature more and more, she grew distant from her. And now, between them, except for basic humanity, there was nothing.

Zhen Qinrou looked at her daughter and shook her head, before sniffling on her chokes to say, "I promise, I will change myself, Yi Lan. But this time, you have to help me. I will never ever do things again that would put me in trouble. Please help me."

Her sight was pitiful and except for feeling pathetic over her, Yi Lan was having no emotion in her heart. But at the same time, she couldn't completely forsake her relationship with her. After all, even if she says she has nothing to do with her, at the end of the day, she was still the daughter birthed by her. "

"What trouble have you stir this time, mother? Do you think I will be able to clear the mess that you would have created?"

"Yi Lan, don't say it like that. I am still your mother. You can't show your back towards me. If not you, who else would I turn up to? Did you forget I have held you alone for nine months?" She tried to throw the emotional trap, but that emotional trap was something that made her sound more pathetic.

The moment Feng Yi Lan heard her; her lips curled in a disdainful curl. "Do you have any limits? How pathetic could you actually get? Now you would even blackmail me over the thing that I had no choice. Do you think if I had a choice, I would have chosen you to be my mother?"

She said, and Zhen Qinrou's face lost the regained complexion in the blink of an eye. "Yi Lan, did you hate me so much? I am your mother; how can you talk to me like this?"

"Please not force the relation over me. I am just here to see you because my father asked me. If not I would not have stepped into the same room where you were present." She spatted out and her words were enough to sharply pierce the woman to her core.

Zhen Qirou knew that her daughter was not very favorable to her but she never accepted to believe that she could be unfavorable to her at such a high limit. "Yi Lan …"

"Tell me what help you want from me and I will see if I could really be a help to you. " Before she could say more, Yi Lan interrupted to cut short. The more she heard, the more hurt she was feeling inside. After all, which mother could be as pathetic as hers. She has to get down to blackmail over her birth.

"…" Zhen Qinrou felt shattered as if she had nothing left in her life.

When Feng Yi Lan saw her like that, she couldn't take it any longer. So, getting down on her knees, she got to her height and then asked, lifting her chin up, "Are you going to tell me, what exactly you did now? I want to know and prepare myself for the blow. I don't want to know about it later and feel shameful about it."

She said and Qinrou just looked up at her and bit her lower lip in repentance. Up until now, she never felt this sorry state but today, in the eyes of her daughter, she felt nothing but regrets. Did all her efforts go for nothing?

She thought to herself when getting impatient, Yi Lan snapped at her, "Will you even speak now? Why are you pretending to be like this? Both of us know that once this situation passes, you will get back to your normal self where you would have no guilt to care about."

"This time it wouldn't be the same, Yi Lan. This time, I would get finished. Feng Shufen would end me up for putting a hand on Li Xue. This time there is no going back." She said and Feng Yi Lan's brows jutted in confusion.

"You put your hand on Li Xue? What do you mean?"

Zhen Qinrou closed her eyes as if she was in regret as slowly, she spoke, "I hired men to assassinate her."
