Chapter 166 The Terrifying Nature of Rumors
"Tch, if you ask me, you're all wrong."
"Oh? What's wrong with it?"
"Look at her, the Third Young Master's appearance is unparalleled in the world. If it weren't for the fact that she has a man's body, who could tell she's a man just by looking at her?"
"That's true, that's true. Our regent might not be the one below."
Wherever Feng Cang's sedan chair passed, there were only foul words and filth. The main subjects of the discussion were his third son and the regent Mo Linyuan, which made him so angry that his beard stood on end.
"Hurry back to the manor." Enraged, Feng Cang ordered the sedan chair bearers with a dark face. His young master, Feng, had now become the laughingstock of the streets.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The sedan chair bearers dared not say anything, and could only quicken their pace as they carried the sedan chair back to the Prime Minister's residence.
Upon returning to the manor, Feng Cang alighted from his sedan chair and stormed into the residence, his every step accompanied by a gust of wind.
In the main hall, Feng Cang sat alone at the head of the table without saying a word, his face gloomy, seemingly lost in thought.
"Prime Minister, you're back?" The steward noticed his unusual expression and quickly poured him a cup of tea to calm him down, as this happened frequently.
"Where's Qingge?" Feng Cang asked with a dark face. All the foul language he had heard along the way was imprinted in his mind. Now, whenever he went out, he would remember how others were talking about his Qingge.
The steward raised an eyebrow and cautiously replied, "Your Majesty, the Third Young Master is in the courtyard." Every time the Prime Minister overheard others discussing the Third Young Master's shortcomings in court, he would come back and reprimand the Third Young Master, and this time would probably be no exception.
Sure enough, as soon as the steward finished speaking, Feng Cang asked him to invite Feng Qingge over, saying that he had something to discuss with her.
Helpless, the steward could only go and find Feng Qingge. On the way, he kept telling her that the Prime Minister looked very bad and that she should be careful with her words so that she wouldn't get scolded again.
Feng Qingge didn't care. Over the years, every time Feng Cang seriously sought her out, wasn't it because of her lack of learning and skills?
However, Feng Qingge was wrong this time; she hadn't expected the rumors to spread like this.
Upon entering the main hall, Feng Cang righteously dismissed the steward and ordered that no one was allowed to enter without his permission.
His resolute attitude surprised Feng Qingge. In the past, when Feng Cang came to find her, he had never been so serious. She wondered what had happened this time.
"Father, what happened?" For once, Feng Qingge was much more serious and not lazy, so Feng Cang did not get angry.
"Ge'er, tell your father, what exactly is your relationship with the Regent?" Feng Cang felt that it was better to ask directly than to ask indirectly.
Feng Qingge frowned, looking at him with confusion, as if he had asked a question that wasn't even a question, "Father, what kind of question is that? What could I possibly have to do with the Regent?"
Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and his expression lost its seriousness. He said, "Why do people say that you and...and the Regent...are homosexuals?"
Feng Cang was somewhat rigid and always acted in a proper and conventional manner, so he felt that such words were filthy when they came out of his mouth.
"Pfft—What?!" Feng Qingge jumped up, utterly astonished. Where did this come from?
"Father, no, you know my identity. How could I be a homosexual?" She looked at Feng Cang, still somewhat incredulous. She hadn't left the house during this time, so she had no idea that such rumors were circulating.
