"Before this, neither the martial arts world nor the imperial court had the name Shengxue Manor," Wang Ci said coldly. "Where are you going to look for it?"
The man's words about welcoming them to Shengxueqian Village were just polite formalities.
While Xia Chao was speechless, Wang Ci walked over to Leng Qingjue, who was standing to the side, and without warning, she raised her hand and slapped Leng Qingjue hard across the face.
The fox Leng Qingjue was holding was startled and ran down. Leng Qingjue herself was still a little dazed from the slap. Finally, she looked up at Wang Ci and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?!"
"This is what you owe Feng Guang." Wang Ci sneered. "Xia Wuyuan, I don't owe you or your mother anything, and Feng Guang owes you even less. From the moment your mother voluntarily came to the Prince's Mansion as a concubine, your and your mother's identities were already determined. Remember this: a concubine is a concubine, and there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Feng Guang is a princess, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Prince's Mansion, and she is your master!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingjue felt a surge of anger rising within her. She said, "Just because you're the legal wife, does that make you so great? So what if Xia Fengguang is the legitimate daughter? In the end, her status is only because she was born into a good family; it's not the result of her own efforts. What do you have to be proud of?"
“Even if Fengguang was born into a better family, your status is still lower than hers.” Wang Ci curled her lips into a sarcastic smile. “If you feel that Fengguang’s status is better than yours because she got it for nothing, and you are dissatisfied with it, you can commit suicide and be reincarnated again to see if you can be reborn into the house of a principal wife. If not, then don’t complain here and think that everyone owes you and your daughter something. I, Wang Ci, a dignified young lady of the Duke of Dingguo’s mansion, have no reason to debase myself to make things difficult for a concubine like you.”
Even if Xia Chao were to cling to Huang Ying every day, she wouldn't resort to any underhanded tactics behind her back. Her pride as a young lady from a prestigious family told her that there was no need to do such a thing for a man.
Leng Qingjue's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Oh, isn't this Prince Jing and Princess Jing? What are you doing here?" Xuan Yuanfei waved his fan, appearing as if by chance.
Wang Ci gave a mocking laugh, glanced at Leng Qingjue, then at Xuan Yuanfei, and said, "Birds of a feather."
Before Xuan Yuanfei could even investigate, she had already walked out the door.
"Oh... Prince Jing, what's wrong with Princess Jing?"
Xia Chao smiled meaningfully, "Fourth Prince, I'll leave it to you to take good care of my concubine's daughter."
Xuanyuan Fei paused for a moment.
The Xia Dynasty also departed shortly after the king's departure.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.
Meanwhile, at Shengxue Manor, where willow trees were planted everywhere, there were only two servants in total, an elderly couple who had been living at Shengxue Manor for fifty years. This was the first time they had ever seen the manor lord return with a woman... no, to be precise, with a young girl.
Holding the girl, Liu Nianfeng said to the two elderly people, "Soon someone will bring the Longevity Willow here. Take good care of it."
"Yes, young master." The old man bowed and watched as the young master carried a little girl back to his room.
Young Master... he shouldn't be the kind of person with such unusual fetishes, right?
In a sense, their young master really is that kind of person.
After placing Fengguang on the bed, Liu Nianfeng first took her pulse. Then, thinking about her illness, his first reaction was to unbutton her clothes and gently lift a corner of her bodice. Sure enough, he saw a scar on her fair skin.
As Feng Guang slowly awoke, she felt a chill on her chest. She opened her eyes blankly and saw a man with his hand on her chest. She sat up abruptly, her instinctive reaction being to slap him across the face. "What are you trying to do to me, you bastard?!"
