Villain Lady

Wei Liuying didn't dare to move.

The two were locked in a stalemate.

Neither the wolf and human moved as they stared at one another. They didn't dare to move in case one of them chose to attack first. In the end, the first one to break the stare was the wolf as it looked at the rabbit on Wei Liuying's hand.

'Is the wolf hungry?'

Wei Liuying didn't know for sure, but she tried to bend down. The wolf's gaze seemed to be even scarier as it glared in her direction. However, Wei Liuying kept on moving to put the rabbit on the ground and pulled out the arrow. All of her action was done slowly as to not startle the wolf.

Afterwards, she backed away bit by bit. With the arrow no longer in place, the rabbit's blood started to smear the ground with red color. Metallic tang smell from the blood assaulted their noses and the wolf's attention fell on the rabbit's body.

"You can eat it if you want," Wei Liuying said.

'Better be the rabbit than me.'

Her second sentence was never uttered, though. She stared at the wolf, that was still keeping his distance. Slowly but surely, the wolf walked towards the rabbit and opened his mouth to eat.

Chomp!

As the wolf was eating, Wei Liuying continued to back away. She kept her face looking at the wolf's direction in fear that something bad might happen if she didn't. He was also staring at her while his mouth gnawed on the meat.

After some time, the distance was already several dozen meters. Wei Liuying moved a bit faster until she could no longer see the wolf and the feeling of danger reduced. Even though her palm was sweating crazily, she still kept her composure when facing the wolf. If the wolf attacked her, she would be trying her best to defend herself.

'It should be a distance away from me, right?'

Wei Liuying was still tense until she reached the villa. She could see Huo was also riding the horse and brought the deer back. Some young masters were looking in his direction with surprise and admiration. To have the luck encountering the deer during the hunt meant that the one who shot it down must be extraordinary.

"That's Wei Family's servant, right?"

"Really?"

"Eh, Wei Yijun got deer two years in a row?"

"Woah! That's amazing!"

Xie Jing was still near the villa. He had just returned after managed to hunt a boar and intended to hunt another one when he heard the commotion. Upon seeing Huo, his expression changed because he knew that this was not Wei Yijun's servant but Wei Hong Zheng.

Did it mean, Wei Hong Zheng was the one who shot the deer?

He couldn't believe that fragile young master could possibly do this.

Wei Hong also rushed out when he heard that there was a Wei Family servants who came with deer on a horse. He was excited, thinking that aside from being a scholar, Wei Yijun might also become a soldier. Wouldn't it mean that his prospect was getting better and better?

He's excited.

"Make way."

"Old Master," Huo called out when he saw Wei Hong. He quickly leapt down and bowed on the ground.

Wei Hong's eyes widened when he saw Huo. There was no way he wouldn't know that this was his second son's servants. Did it mean the one who shot the deer was actually his second son?

"This… Did Hong Zheng truly shoot it?"

"Father, did you doubt me?"

Turning his head around, Wei Hong noticed that 'Wei Hong Zheng' was walking to him with a discontent expression. The arrow on his tube on the back had already reduced and there were some leaves on his body. In addition, there was smear of blood on his hand that might have come from the deer.

Wei Hong's face instantly lit up. He had always thought of Wei Hong Zheng as an utter failure. If not for the fact that having a son was something that should be proud of, he would have long thought of a way to disinherit his son. Now, it seemed that his worry was for naught.

His son is an excellent martial artist!

Wei Hong was in extremely good mood as he laughed loudly, ignoring his image. "Good, good, Hong Zheng. You make me proud."

Wei Liuying's face lit up as if she was genuinely happy. "It's my duty, Father."

"Hahaha, we're going to have a feast tonight! I'll call my old friends, and we're going to eat to our heart's content tonight."

"Thank you, Father."

"It's thanks to your effort that you can achieve this."

Wei Hong continued to sing praise to his son as he was very happy. With his first son aimed to become an official, his second son could become a renowned commander. Even though Han Shi Kingdom only had clashes at the north with Xiong Tribe, there were also some other rebellions.

As military commanders, it was possible that Wei Hong Zheng would become a general in the future.

It might be early to judge, but the luck and capabilities of Wei Hong Zheng to kill a deer on his own showed that he must be a good archer. He was also still fairly young, only 13 years old. With enough training and tempering, who could say that he wouldn't become an excellent general?

Because of that, Wei Hong was in a good mood.

On the women's area, Feng Chun was also happy when she heard that 'Wei Hong Zheng' had gotten a deer. Even if she knew that it was Wei Liuying, it didn't reduce her happiness because the one who would take the credit would be her son.

If Wei Hong Zheng's future prospect is good, wouldn't it be good for her too?

She's happy.

"There'll be a feast tonight, so I'll excuse myself. I have to make the preparation for the cooking," Feng Chun said to the other two concubines that Wei Hong brought here.

"I understand, Sister Feng. Please take care."

"Yes."

Concubine Chou was smiling, yet her heart was boiling with fury. She genuinely hoped that she could also have a son. With these two concubines flaunting their sons in front of her, how can she not feel the pain?

On the other hand, Concubine Xie was calm. She had experienced the same thing with Wei Yijun's achievement last year. For her, it required luck to be able to succeed, so she couldn't hope for much.

"Second Brother is really lucky," Wei Zilin muttered in discontent.

Wei Xiao Hua lifted her head and smiled. "Isn't it good for him?"

"Huh?"
