Chapter 1835: Shortcomings Now Became Strong Points
Noble Consort Du shook her head, "She wanted to withdraw from the marriage so much that she risked her reputation. She doesn’t want to marry you, and your father also won’t agree to it.”
"I’m only afraid Feng Chang, that old brute, told your father about Feng Qingqian’s mother’s real status. In order to end our hopes, your father chucked Feng Qinqian to me as my adopted daughter. That way you and Feng Qingqian being together is no longer possible.” As Noble Consort Du spoke, she felt the urge to hit him again.
"Not only are you stupid, you are also self-centered. You’re my son, did you really think that I would find a concubine daughter to be your wife?” Noble Consort Du said coldly.
The second prince was even more frustrated than Noble Consort Du. Feng Qingqian, who in his eyes was a cowering little girl with no initiative and all the shortcomings possible in the world now had become an advantageous match. The shortcomings now became strong points since if they got married, she would do whatever he said.
The second prince lost his previous excitement and joy. He sat on the chair, remorseful beyond measure, and finally said with a grumble, "Why didn\'t that Feng Qingqian tell me she was the Princess’s daughter? Was it deliberate?"
"She probably doesn’t even know her own real background." Noble Consort Du sighed, "Over ten years of planning was ruined by you just like this. You can pull out a random person from Scarlet Flames Nation and they will still be a poison expert…"
"Mother, I am not willing…" The second prince growled.
"So what if you aren’t willing, what can you do? Think of your father before you do anything. He sits on a high place and can see everything clearly." Noble Consort Du waved her hand, "You leave the palace first. I want to clear my head."
Noble Consort Du didn\'t want to see him at all now.
On the other side, as soon as Ying Su left the palace gates, she was pushed into the carriage by Feng Chang. They returned to the Feng residence as quickly as they could. He then said to Ying Su, "Stay quiet in the courtyard by yourself. Don\'t come out."
"Who are you to confine me? I can go wherever I want. It’s none of your business," Ying Su said with a cold face.
Feng Chang made a face, the words ‘are you sick again?’ apparent in his expression. He paid her not the slightest of mind and said, "Just stay quiet at home."
Frick, he thought she was a crazy person that opened her mouth only to talk nonsense.
"General, you’re back just in time for dinner. Qingqian, you’re also here? Let\'s have dinner together," said Madam Feng and she came out of the residence. When she saw Ying Su, her face visibly stiffened, before she gently invited Ying Su.
Ying Su scoffed. Madam Feng must despise her so much, yet she was still able to invite her to dinner with a smile. What a hypocrite.
"Oh, I can’t afford to eat such delicacies. I’ll stick to my coarse bran," Ying Su said deliberately in a ridiculing tone.
Madam Feng\'s expression stiffened and she couldn\'t help but glance at Feng Chang. She then said, "Then I\'ll have the servants deliver the meal to your courtyard."
"Don\'t be like that. You should just ignore me like before. Don\'t put on this fake virtuous look, I\'m tired of looking at it," Ying Su waved her hand and brushed straight past Madam Feng. Madam Feng’s facial color turned extremely poor.
Feng Chang said to Madam Feng, "Madam, don\'t pay any attention to her. If she says anything unpleasant, just ignore her.”
"General, please don\'t blame this wife. Qingqian is a sensitive and quiet girl, so she usually doesn’t say anything even if something happened. This wife has to manage the Feng family, it is inevitable that sometimes this wife ends up unintentionally neglecting her,” explained Madam Feng to Feng Chang.
"Qingqian started to become abnormal since she fell into the water. Should we find a Daoist priest to perform an exorcism? Compared to the old Qingqian, she’s like a whole different person, with no sense of propriety at that." Madam Feng would not forget that she was pushed to the ground by her, in front of a cadre of subordinates. It was extremely humiliating. How is she supposed to continue managing the inner courtyard with dignity after that?
"It’s fine, I trust you." Feng Chang led her back into the house.
Ning Shu couldn\'t help but ask Ying Su, "Can’t you act like a decent person?" Was it really all right to act this cold and rude?
"Ha, don’t you know to beware of people who come to you bearing gifts? They definitely aren’t up to anything good," Ying Su said coldly. "I’m worried I’ll get indigestion, eating with a hypocritical woman like that."
"How is she hypocritical?" Ning Shu asked. Could it be that, to Ying Su, a person has to cuss at her to not be hypocritical? Does she not understand people have personal images to keep up?
