Chapter 1154 Side Story, Agreed Secretly (4)
“You!” Mr. Feng’s face turned cold. “You have to go!”

Mr. Feng had never spoken harshly to Feng Anning since she was young, but today, he did not show her any respect in front of the servants. Feng Anning felt sad and aggrieved, so she stood up and said, “Father, our family is not short of money. You don’t have to sell your daughter. I haven’t seen this cousin for many years. If you don’t find it awkward, I do! I’m not going. Whoever wants to go can go.”

After becoming friends with Luo Tan, she was influenced and would speak what was on her mind without giving it a thought.

Mr. Feng suddenly stood up and slapped Feng Anning’s face.

Feng Anning was stunned, and her face was burning with pain. She stared at Mr. Feng in disbelief, but Mr. Feng did not even bat an eye. He said, “Go back to your room and reflect on yourself. I don’t want others to know that the Feng family has raised such a shameless daughter!”

The surrounding servants were shocked.

Mr. Feng had never resorted to violence on Feng Anning. Once, the teacher of Guangwen Hall hit Feng Anning in the palm for not doing her homework. When Mr. Feng saw the mark on Feng Anning’s hand, he went to Guangwen Hall to confront that teacher. Now, he was the one who slapped Feng Anning.

Feng Anning burst out crying and ran out of the door. She ran back to her room and closed the door. She threw herself on the bed and cried.

She had only seen that distant cousin once when she was young. That cousin was a little older than her and was good at writing poems. However, Feng Anning saw with her own eyes how he, who was still young, kissed his maid.

Feng Anning felt extremely disgusted and even told her family about this. However, the Feng family felt that she was wrong and refused to believe her. Feng Anning hated her cousin even more.

Not to mention receiving him, she did not even want to see him. Moreover, Feng Anning was not a three-year-old child, so she naturally understood what his father was up to. Mr. Feng clearly wanted to matchmake her with this ugly cousin.

The more Feng Anning cried, the sadder she felt. The man she liked did not like her. He probably even felt that she was a burden. On the other hand, her father and brother wanted her to spend the rest of her life with the person she hated. Shen Miao and Luo Tan had both left the capital, and she had no one to talk to. She felt aggrieved. Now that her father hit her, Feng Anning really felt that her life was not worth living.

However, she was arrogant, willful, and very stubborn. She even started to go on a hunger strike to protest. In short, she refused to give in and see that disgusting cousin.

If it were in the past, her hunger strike would have made the entire family panic, but this time, it did not work. Mr. Feng even became more determined.

When Feng Zixian found out about this, he went to comfort her.

Feng Zixian said, “Sister, don’t blame Father. There’s nothing he can do now. The situation in the capital is unstable, and our family is in danger. Father wants you to get married as soon as possible. Cousin Cao is rich and powerful. If you marry him, you won’t have to worry about food and clothes. Moreover, he’s talented and good-looking. He’s our relative. He won’t treat you badly in the future. I know you feel aggrieved, but now is different from the past. In the past, you could choose someone you like, but now… Anning, bear with it. Father has no choice. Marrying Cousin Cao is better than marrying someone we don’t know.”
