"Child, why would you think that?" Duan Nian stared in disbelief, eyes wide open.
Feng Wuya choked up and said, "Old Feng said it was you who killed them. He said you were rejected by my father at the tavern, got furious, and had them burnt to death!"
"Utter nonsense! Cough, cough—" Duan Nian was so aggravated that he coughed several times.
"Manor owner!"
"Father!"
Duan Yunfei quickly helped him sit down, gently patting his back to ease his breath, while Xuan Hua hurriedly poured a cup of tea.
Duan Nian pushed away the teacup offered by Xuan Hua, his eyes reddened as he looked at Feng Wuya and said, "Changle and I grew up together; Changle is like both a family and a friend to me, and he treated me the same way. When was there ever any... any rejection of love?"
"As for that old Feng..." He continued looking at Feng Wuya and asked, "Do you know who he is?"
"I..." Feng Wuya tightly pursed his lips, and after a long time, he whispered, "I don't know!"
