Chapter 7 - Framed 2

"Will you shut up!" Mr. Cypher said in a high voice. "You! Shut up!" The old man hit his palm on the table " father!" Mr Cypher's chest heaved up an down like an angry beast. "How do you know, did you hear her own side of the story...or you just believed that cat! Kay, come here. Tell Grandpa what happened" Kahlan immediately ran into her grandfather's arms wailing " grandpa it's not true! Phony insulted my mother*sob* she said mother is a promiscuous hen, she called mother a sl*t."

"What?! That Chicken said what?! Where is she! Who's out there! Call that mother daughter duo for this old man" The old man was shaking from repressed anger. "Father what do u want to do": Mr Cypher was becoming afraid, 'what is this old man planning to do' "keep quiet! You know all these is your fault...You destroyed that young lady's life. You didn't even tell her you were married and lured her to bed, haven't you done enough, even your naughty child won't let her rest in peace" the old man was itching to throw something on his son's face...to him the face was just too ugly. "Father I don't believe Kahlan, Phony will never do that. This little brat is just lieing I don't believe her!" " I don't care if you believe her or not, I'm going to teach that brat a lesson." *Click* the door opened and madam Cypher walked in elegantly with Phony trailing behind, her head bowed, hands in front and shoulder shaking, she courteously followed her mother afraid to make a sound. 'This old man is too scary'. " Father you sent for me" Madam Cypher was the first to speak up. The old master gave off a dangerous aura, he lifted his head and glanced at his supposed daughter in law. 'so fake' he exclaimed in his heart. Madam Cypher trembled, that light glance felt as if he had already seen through her. No! that's not possible she made sure she meticulously planned everything. "Grandpa" Phony greeted with her head bowing, lifting her head she saw Kahlan sitting close to her grandfather and her heart was immediately filled with jealousy. Clenching her fists she inhaled deeply. "What is this! Don't you have a veil...your face is not pleasing at all, what a pig face" Phony was speechless. 'hey! At least be gentle with your words' Phony pouted her little mouth that was now wide with bruises on it. Instead of looking cute she looked more like a pig. Even her father couldn't help but frown. Phony threw her mom an accusatory glance, her mother told her to appear like this to evoke the old man's pity.

"I hear you insulted Kahlan's mother" the old man spoke up in disgust. "Is that what elder sister told you? Elder sister I have always cared about you...how could you do this...how" "Enough! Save your tears! Did you do it or not" " no I did not grandpa, I never insulted Kahlan's mother" she said bowing her head and letting tears fall freely. Kahlan was stunned, 'how can she lie so easily' "father I raised Phony, she would never do that" Mrs Cypher had to step in to help her daughter. "No one asked for your opinion" the old man fired choking Mrs Cypher, her next words were stuck in her throat. "Were there witness, get them" Mrs Cypher smiled kindly like a righteous woman "Yes father, there was a witness, the maid that informed me about the incident at the backyard" the old master had a bad feeling "get her!"
