Sitting right next to Yan Linglong on her right, Yan Qingxue, ignored by Feng Yan, clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly.
Even though she was sitting next to Yan Linglong, neither of them could see her.
Yan Qingxue was clearly the eldest daughter of the City Lord's family, yet she was somehow overshadowed by a concubine's daughter.
If Yan Linglong didn't have that halo of birth shining upon her, what would she be? Nothing at all, just a lowly concubine's daughter.
Are they blind to ignore her, the legitimate eldest daughter?
"I've always heard that Uncle Yan's daughter has extraordinary abilities, and I've always wanted to see her for myself. But Uncle Yan cherishes his daughter too much and has never been willing to take his precious daughter out of the house."
Come up to my residence; this is my first time visiting.
Since Miss Linglong has made the rare trip here today, I might as well ask the City Lord's Mansion to make a request. I've heard that your precious daughter, Uncle Yan, is quite the little angel. I wonder if you could ask me to find her a younger sister?
I've always wanted a younger sister, but after all these years, I'm still all alone. Maybe if the little celestial maiden were to make a divine request, my father could finally have another daughter.
Before Yan Linglong could speak, Yan Qingxue couldn't help but sneer.
“Young Master Feng, what are you praying for? A son? If my sister could really pray for a son, her aunt wouldn’t have only given birth to her all these years and then had no more children.”
"For something like this, I think your family should pray to the Goddess of Fertility!"
Yan Linglong's face stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled sweetly. "Young Master Feng, just as my elder sister said, there is nothing I can do about this. Even with extraordinary abilities, it is impossible to defy fate."
The number of children one has is predetermined by fate. If I could, I would do my best to help, but I'm sorry, Linglong, I cannot do that.
Feng Yan paused, his face softening considerably. "Miss Linglong, you're too kind. There's nothing to apologize for if I can't do it. This kind of thing is inherently asking the impossible, and I'm the one who's putting Miss Linglong in a difficult position."
Yan Qingxue spoke with a sarcastic laugh.
"There's more than just this one thing she can't do. There are countless things she can't do, like plucking stars from the sky, diving into the river, and reaching for the moon." What makes her worthy of being called a celestial maiden? Just because she was born with a jade bead on her body, she was transformed into a deity whom everyone in her household had to respect.
Bullshit!
If he really had such ability, why didn't he go and get pregnant by the main wife instead of by getting pregnant by a concubine?
Yan Shanxing glanced at Yan Qingxue with a sharp look, his eyes now carrying a hint of warning.
"Qingxue, what kind of talk is that?" She is, after all, the eldest daughter of his household, yet she dares to say such inappropriate things here.
It's a waste that he's seven years older than Linglong, yet he doesn't even understand the principles of being a decent person. He's not as sensible as Linglong, who's just a child.
Feng Yan didn't even glance at Yan Qingxue. He knew Yan Qingxue and had interacted with her before.
Since they both come from prestigious families, they are naturally in the same circle.
However, he didn't have a good impression of Yan Qingxue. He only knew her as a big-breasted, brainless, and loud woman.
She is not as reserved and composed as a typical young lady from a prominent family.
They have absolutely no sense of restraint.
She lacks the tranquility a young woman should have, is overly lively but lacks wit; she's just a reckless, brainless, and rude woman.
He felt disgusted to even glance at a woman like that.
but--
Yan Linglan, the second daughter of the Green City Lord, was unassuming, quiet, and unassuming, which made him think highly of her.
As for Yan Linglan, the second daughter of the Green City Lord, she was just a fleeting figure in his mind before he quickly forgot about her.
Knowing that this young lady could not solve his mother's heartache, Feng Yanren did not linger any longer, exchanged a few pleasantries, and left the hall.
He has a little darling over there who needs to be served; that's the VIP he has to treat well.
To be honest, although Hongcheng Auction House and Greentown Auction House do not interfere with each other, they are still in the same industry, and there is competition between them.
Moreover, Hongcheng and Lvcheng are not far apart and are neighboring cities, so naturally there is some impact on their businesses.
Weighing the pros and cons, and taking a moment to consider, he knew which side he should treat well.
Feng Yan has always been a man who doesn't act without self-interest; to him, anyone who offers no benefit is useless.
In his view, there are only two kinds of people: useful people and useless people.
Clearly, comfort is more to his liking.
No sooner had Feng Yan left the front hall than Yan Qingxue followed him out and caught up with him before he even stepped out of the front yard.
"Hey, Young Master Feng, you look down on me, don't you?"
Feng Yan didn't stop walking, and said perfunctorily, "Why do you say that, Miss Qingxue?"
"You didn't even glance at me once from beginning to end." Her pride was hurt. This man, with his haughty demeanor, what gave him the right to act so superior?
In terms of status, they were roughly equal; he was the young lord of Red City, and she was, after all, the eldest daughter of Green City.
How could he have looked down on me?
No, they didn't even glance at it.
"Don't you also think that my half-sister is superior to others, and that I am inferior to her?"
"If that's what Miss Qingxue thinks, there's nothing I can do about it."
Yan Qingxue gritted her teeth. This jerk was really infuriating, just like Yan Linglong, making people's teeth ache just looking at him!
"Is that what you think? You think I'm stupid and brainless, and she's incredibly smart, isn't that right?"
Entangled and questioned by Yan Qingxue, Feng Yan paused, his eyes darkening with anger as he stared at her.
Yan Qingxue felt uneasy under the gaze of those cold, deep black eyes and involuntarily took two steps back.
She actually didn't want to associate with this kind of person; they had an unapproachable demeanor, a coldness that kept people at a distance, and gave off a strange sense of danger.
She was just angry that she wasn't being treated properly, while Yan Linglong was.
"I... I just came to tell you that Yan Linglong is just an ordinary person, not some kind of celestial being."
I, Yan Qingxue, am not someone utterly worthless and unworthy of your attention. Stop looking down on me.
After speaking somewhat hesitantly, Yan Qingxue felt a chill run down her spine under the intense gaze of those dark eyes. Unable to bear the pressure, she turned and ran away.
Those dark eyes staring at her made her feel a little intimidated and terrified.
