The Emperor's Phoenix: The Abandoned Concubine
029 Contempt
Only after he said it did Xie San realize what he had said.
He considered himself a gentleman and would not easily say bad things to women, but this Feng Qingchen really had the ability to break his composure.
It was the first time that Xie San said bad things to a woman. He felt quite uncomfortable. He glanced at Feng Qingchen secretly and felt a little regretful.
But as proud as he is, he would not admit it even if he knew he was wrong. What's more, he didn't think he was wrong, he just said it more bluntly.
Besides, his mortal enemy Wang Qi is still here, and he will never give in even if you beat him to death.
As if to prove that he was in the right, Xie San raised his voice again: "Feng Qingchen, well, now I'm giving you a chance to make amends. Lord Wei said that you have a way to settle the case between the Wang and Xie families. Now come with me. As long as you handle this matter well, I will forgive your mistakes and not bother with you."
Feng Qingchen chuckled at Xie San: "Master Wei? He said I have a way, does that mean I have a way? I'm not familiar with him."
She was not being angry on purpose, she refused simply because she didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Wang and Xie families.
Lord Wei Xueliang, right?
I, Feng Qingchen, will remember you.
I will let you know the consequences of offending a doctor, especially a female doctor.
You’d better pray that you don’t fall into the hands of me, Feng Qingchen, in this life, otherwise I will make you pay.
As for the young masters of the Xie and Wang families, she also prayed that they would not come to her, Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen lowered his head slightly to hide the coldness in his eyes.
Doctor is a sacred profession. A good doctor can not only save your life, but also save the fate of a family or even a country.
However, she has confidence in her medical skills.
"Feng Qingchen, what do you mean? You dare not even sell the face of the Wang and Xie families?" Wang Qi frowned in dissatisfaction.
He and the third son of the Xie family came to invite him at the same time, but he dared to refuse. There is no one else in the world who can do this except Feng Qingchen.
Not to mention Feng Qingchen, even the crown prince, due to the strength of the Wang and Xie families, did not dare to say "no" to them easily.
"No, Seventh Young Master, you misunderstood. How could Qingchen dare to offend the Wang and Xie families? It is Qingchen who does not have that ability." Feng Qingchen quickly stood up and apologized.
In this day and age, the powerful young masters are so arrogant. Is this asking her for help? This is clearly forcing her.
"You don't have the ability? You haven't even seen it, how do you know you don't have the ability? Feng Qingchen, don't make me say it for the third time, come with us, otherwise I will send someone to take you away." Wang Qi stood up and said in a tone that did not allow Feng Qingchen to refuse.
Of course Xie San would not sit there any longer. The two of them came in person today. If Feng Qingchen didn't go, they would both lose face.
The Wang and Xie families just had a scandal of the mistress murdering her eldest illegitimate son, and now there is another scandal of being kicked out by Feng Qingchen. How can these century-old families keep their dignity?
Today, Feng Qingchen has to go whether she wants to or not.
call……
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qingchen knew that she had no way out, and said softly: "It is difficult for Qingchen to refuse the kindness of the two gentlemen. So, please lead the way."
Judging from the situation, they actually moved the court to the Xie family. The power of the Xie family is really extraordinary.
Well, if I can’t afford to offend, I won’t offend.
"It should have been done a long time ago." Xie San passed by Feng Qingchen and rebuked him softly. "Not everyone has the right to say no."
After saying that, he strode out.
Outside the Feng Mansion, Xie San and Wang Qi's carriages were waiting outside. The two men came out, sat directly in, and signaled the coachman to go, with no intention of inviting Feng Qingchen at all.
The carriage moved forward with a "thump thump" sound, leaving Feng Qingchen standing there.
"Miss Feng?" The two officials looked embarrassed and ashamed.
They don't have the ability to go out by horse-drawn carriage. People like them have to walk everywhere.
But Miss Feng was, after all, the daughter of an official, a pampered and virtuous woman. Even though she had fallen on hard times, what the two gentlemen, Wang and Xie, had done was still too much.
Feng Qingchen didn't care and waved his hand: "Let's walk slowly, it's okay."
She has been in this world for such a long time, but except for the last time she went to the government office, she has hardly gone out. It would be a good opportunity to take a look at this bustling imperial city.
The bluestone pavement and the wooden attic were things that could not be more familiar to the two officials, but Feng Qingchen looked at them with great interest, with admiration and praise unconsciously revealed in his eyes.
Walking on the road of this ancient village, listening to the hawkers' calls and watching the passers-by coming and going, Feng Qingchen's mood became increasingly calm.
Isn't that what life is all about?
When you are busy with life, you have to bear the pressure that life brings. This pressure can make you breathless, but it cannot bend your back.
Strolling slowly along the way, savoring the life of ordinary people in ancient times, when Feng Qingchen arrived at the Xie family, the influence left by Xie San and Wang Qi had all disappeared.
Two officers stepped forward to state their identities. The Xie family's doorman looked defensive and looked them up and down before opening the door arrogantly.
"You are Feng Qingchen, whom my young master personally invited? Not that great, are you?" The doorman left a sentence that was inconsistent with his status. He did not give Feng Qingchen a chance to speak. He turned around and walked in front to lead the way. His steps were quick and hasty, and he did not take Feng Qingchen seriously at all.
"Miss Feng..." The two officers' expressions became more and more ugly.
The prime minister's doorman is a seventh-rank official. The doorman of the Xie family is no worse than the doorman of the prime minister's family. Even though they knew that Feng Qingchen was humiliated, they could not afford to offend him. They could only ask Feng Qingchen to be more magnanimous.
"It's okay. What's more important is to get down to business." Feng Qingchen smiled and took a step forward.
If you are bitten by a dog, you should bite it back.
If you want people to respect you, you have to have that ability.
"Please, please, please, Miss Feng." The two officers breathed a sigh of relief and thought to themselves: This Miss Feng has such a good demeanor, most men don't have this kind of demeanor.
Such a person, with his excellent medical skills, will definitely have immeasurable achievements in the future. If they follow Miss Feng at this time, they may have great fortune in the future.
The two officers looked at each other and nodded.
It's true that they are small people, but small people are also useful.
On the way, the two officers became more respectful to Feng Qingchen, and they did not mean to look down on Feng Qingchen at all.
This subtle change did not escape Feng Qingchen's eyes. She smiled faintly and did not take it to heart.
She, Feng Qingchen, takes revenge when she has revenge and repays kindness when she has kindness.
If someone respects me one foot, I will return it one yard. If someone slanders me a grain of rice, I will take three bushels of rice from him. If someone owes me one foot, I will ask for ten yards.
She will definitely remember the people who helped her when she was down and out. She will never forget the people who respected her when everyone despised her.
Just like the Ninth Prince and these two officials.
The size of Xie Mansion was beyond Feng Qingchen's imagination.
They passed through the front hall, came to the patio, turned around several corridors, and walked through seven courtyards, but they had not yet reached their destination.
If you don't have a guide, you will definitely get lost here.
A mansion with rockery, ponds, gardens and pavilions.
Only when he got here did Feng Qingchen understand what a real mansion was.
Her small courtyard with three entrances and three exits is not even as big as the smallest courtyard of the Xie family.
Alas, if you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will throw them away.
It only took them a quarter of an hour to walk from the Feng family to the Xie family, but it took them a full two quarters of an hour to walk from the Xie family's main gate to the courtyard of the second house.
The problem is, they haven't gotten to the point yet...
Such a journey would make a man exhausted, let alone a woman.
The people in the Xie Mansion really didn't suffer any loss at all.
