Chapter 165 One Calamity After Another
"Huh?" Feng Qingge was surprised, then looked up, but unexpectedly, she used too much force and bumped into his chin again.
The two of them spoke at the same time, "Hiss..."
Frowning, before Mo Linyuan could even speak, Feng Qingge exploded, "Mo Linyuan, is your chin made of stone? It hurts so much!"
In an instant, all the romantic atmosphere vanished, one of them blushing slightly, the other covering their forehead.
"In my opinion, your head is harder." It was rare for Mo Linyuan to tell a joke, though it was rather dry.
Feng Qingge glared at him, covered her forehead, and walked past him. Her head was really throbbing; she was sure she had a huge bump on it.
Even Mo Linyuan, who died, didn't say a word to warn her? Now look what's happened, her forehead will probably be swollen for a whole day.
"I wonder if I'm mistaken, but if I hadn't arrived in time, someone would probably have become the son-in-law of the Prince of Huainan." Mo Linyuan walked slowly, as if taking a stroll, extremely leisurely.
“Does Your Highness remember that what we did was a transaction?” Turning around, Feng Qingge raised an eyebrow and retorted directly.
Their relationship was based on a deal: she helped him identify the toxin, and he helped her escape this calamity. Now, they've settled their differences.
However, Feng Qingge thought it was easy, but she didn't know that there are leaky walls in this world.
"What a pity, I sacrificed my reputation." Shaking his head, Mo Linyuan spoke with a straight face, as if it were really true.
Feng Qingge didn't want to pay attention to him. Too many things had happened today. She had barely escaped a ridiculous arranged marriage, and she didn't want to waste her breath arguing with Mo Linyuan here.
Ignoring him, she prepared to head home, hoping to avoid further trouble regarding this matter.
Feng Cang waited for news in the mansion, but Feng Qingge did not return. He was extremely anxious, fearing that her true identity as a woman would be exposed.
As it was getting dark, Feng Qingge slowly walked back.
Along the way, since the Regent's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace were close to each other, she and Mo Linyuan inevitably traveled the same route. She didn't want to pay attention to him, so she slowed down and waited for him to go first.
After returning to her residence, Feng Qingge didn't want to face Feng Cang's interrogation, so she went straight back to her own courtyard and sent Qi Quan to inform him.
Although Feng Cang was helpless, there was nothing he could do about her. Now that there was no imperial decree to grant them marriage, he could finally put his mind at ease. This calamity for the Feng family was over.
However, to Feng Cang's surprise, although this calamity passed, the next one followed immediately.
These are turbulent times, and Feng Cang wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible, but he had a good-for-nothing son who wasted his money, so even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't.
During court sessions, court officials would frequently look at him with strange eyes, leaving him completely bewildered.
Several days later, rumors spread more and more wildly, eventually reaching Feng Cang's ears.
On this day, Feng Cang returned to his residence in a sedan chair. Along the way, the most talked-about topic was the homosexual relationship between the Regent and the third young master of the Feng family.
"Oh dear, I never would have imagined that someone as powerful as the Regent would have homosexual tendencies. And what about that Third Young Master Feng? Didn't she used to love going to brothels to admire the beauties? How come she's suddenly with the Regent?"
"Oh, you don't know this. Who is our Regent? How could those prostitutes compare to his looks?"
"That's right, I've always heard that the Third Young Master loves beautiful women, no wonder, haha..."
