The Emperor's Phoenix: The Abandoned Concubine

030 Solving a Case

The doorman was walking in front, already panting, and the two officers were also panting heavily. Only Feng Qingchen had a slightly red cheek.

The moment she came in, Feng Qingchen understood that it was the Xie family who was embarrassing her.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen a pig walk.

This kind of mansion covering thousands of acres of land is equipped with carriages. Otherwise, the people living in the innermost part would not have to do any work and would have to walk from morning to night once they stepped out of the door.

The servants of the Xie family thought that Feng Qingchen, a young lady from an official family with bound feet, would not be able to walk a long way, and wanted to wait for her to beg for mercy. However, they did not know that Feng Qingchen had not bound her feet at all because she had been without a mother since childhood.

Feng Qingchen has a pair of natural feet, and with the exercise he has done in the past few days, he can walk for an hour without getting red in the face or out of breath, let alone three quarters of an hour.

Just kidding, a surgeon must have a strong physical condition, otherwise he would die after performing a major operation for thirty or forty hours.

At that time, fainting on the operating table was not just a shameful thing, but a loss of life!

The other party's wishful thinking was wrong.

Whoosh whoosh…

"Miss Feng, are you okay?" The two officers were so tired that they kept fanning themselves with their hands.

Tired and thirsty.

The Xie family is going too far.

"That's great. If you two officers are tired, just take a rest first. With this doorman leading the way, I won't get lost." Feng Qingchen answered easily, making the two officers envious to death. However, the doorman in front, who was tired and sweating profusely, was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Is this a woman? Is this a woman?

She can actually walk better than the three men?

Huhuhuhu... He walked so fast and hurriedly that he really didn't have the energy to curse. Fortunately, he was almost at the second room's residence.

After another stick of incense had passed, the gatekeeper and the official were sweating profusely, yet they could not express their grievances.

At this moment, Xie San's angry voice was heard from the yard.

"Go, send someone to check, why hasn't Feng Qingchen arrived yet? She is so bold that she dares not take my Xie family seriously. Does she think her life is too long? Send someone to check, is she dead?"

When the doorman heard this, he stopped where he was, his legs trembling, and his face, which was already pale from exhaustion, now looked even more ashen.

Feng Qingchen showed no sympathy and walked past the concierge: "No need, I'm here."

Feng Qingchen pushed the door open and walked in with a frosty face.

With a quick glance, he took in the entire situation in the room and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Qingchen greets Lord Wei and the two young masters." He said this but his body did not move at all, showing no intention of greeting at all.

As for the others, Feng Qingchen simply ignored them.

"Feng Qingchen, you are making such a big fuss. We have been waiting for nearly half an hour." It can be seen that this peach blossom prince Xie San has a bad temper and patience. He starts scolding as soon as he opens his mouth.

This time, Feng Qingchen did not let it go, but said coldly: "Third Young Master, you missed Qingchen? It's not that I, Feng Qingchen, am grand, but your Xie family is too big. It took Qingchen three quarters of an hour to walk from the gate to here. If Qingchen's mother had not died young and her feet were not bound, let alone sharing your worries today, I, Feng Qingchen, would be secretly happy if I could walk out of Xie Mansion alive."

"What's going on?" Xie San got annoyed when he heard it and asked the servant beside him.

"I'll check it right away." The servant was very smart and ran out immediately.

"No need for that. Without the master's order, I don't think this servant would dare to do anything reckless. Since he has already done it, why bother pretending to be so? It's really disgusting."

Feng Qingchen knew that this matter had nothing to do with Xie San, but she was happy to put the blame on Xie San. What's wrong with that?

"It turns out that the servants of the Xie family are so uneducated." Wang Qi agreed. He was not helping Feng Qingchen, he just wanted to step on Xie San.

Xie San was furious and was about to curse when a middle-aged man in brown brocade clothes stepped out from behind him, bowed to Feng Qingchen perfunctorily, and said lightly:

"Miss Feng has been wronged. It is my Xie family's fault for not disciplining her properly. We will send a generous gift to calm Miss Feng down later."

The words sounded nice, but were full of contempt, and there was undisguised contempt in his eyes.

"Okay, the Xie family is a famous family. I want to see what kind of gift the Xie family will give to calm me down?" Feng Qingchen readily followed suit. Not only did he not get angry at being humiliated, but he took the opportunity to blackmail them.

Uh...the middle-aged man was stunned.

How can there be such a shameless woman? Doesn’t she realize that this is sarcasm?

Pah... Wang Qi opened his folding fan, hiding the smile on his lips, and turned back to look at Feng Qingchen with a different look in his eyes.

It's a pity that she is a woman. If she was born a man, Feng Qingchen would have the talent to be a minister even if she didn't serve as an official in the court.

This quick wit is admirable.

Ahem…

The atmosphere was awkward. Lord Wei, who was standing behind the crowd and dressed in official uniform, walked out.

In front of the Wang and Xie families, Lord Wei did not dare to put on airs, but in front of Feng Qingchen, he acted like an official. He looked at Feng Qingchen with his chin down and said in a commanding manner, "Miss Feng, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Miss Feng, you can start now."

"Fight? Fight what?" Feng Qingchen looked puzzled, with his arms folded, half leaning against the doorpost, a wicked smile on his lips, but his eyes flashed with innocence and ignorance.

This action would be quite rude even for a man, let alone a woman. However, Feng Qingchen acted as if it was a matter of course, with a hint of arrogance revealed.

Very contradictory, but damn fascinating.

Xie San and Wang Qi felt as if their hearts skipped a beat. They had never seen a woman so bold, who disregarded etiquette and image.

However, Feng Qingchen's presence equalized the status of both parties.

"It's unbecoming, unbecoming." The middle-aged man pointed at Feng Qingchen, his fingers trembling, and seemed to be very angry.

The Wang and Xie families have very strict family education. Such uncouth behavior would not be done by the young ladies of the family, even the maids would not do it.

"Propriety? What is that? The Third Young Master personally came to invite me here. I have been walking for such a long time, but I can't even get a seat, let alone a cup of tea. What? Now I can't even lean on the chair? Is this the way Xie's family entertains guests? It seems to be even worse than my Feng's family."

Feng Qingchen remained motionless, not taking everyone's contempt to heart at all.

She was used to this kind of look.

She had seen more vicious looks than this, but in the end, Feng Qingchen was still alive and well.

Lying dormant on the shore, I, Feng Qingchen, don’t need others to look up to me. It’s enough for me to value myself.

Once I become a god, I, Feng Qingchen, no longer need others' flattery. I just need to understand my own excellence.

snort……

"You, you unruly person." Lord Wei was so angry at Feng Qingchen that his hair was tangled like a caterpillar.

How dare Feng Qingchen make him lose face in front of the two young masters Wang and Xie? Does he think his life is too good?

"A troublemaker? Sir, I, Feng Qingchen, did not beat the drum to complain, nor did I stop the sedan chair to complain. How could I be troublesome? If I remember correctly, I did not want to come to the Xie Mansion. The term troublemaker really hurt Qingchen's heart."

Feng Qingchen's words were extremely poisonous.

It is true that those who beat drums to appeal for justice and block sedan chairs to complain are unruly people, but it is the officials who force the people to be unruly. Since the officials do nothing, the people have no choice but to be unruly.

"Feng Qingchen, you are so brave, come..." Lord Wei was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he waved his hand.

Seeing this, Xie San immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Wei, please be patient. Feng Qingchen is the daughter of General Feng after all. It is indeed our fault that we, the Xie family, did not provide a good reception for her."

The Xie family is not afraid of offending Lord Wei, but there is no need.

Besides, if this matter continues today, neither side will be able to back down.

If the people above knew that the Xie family caused trouble when General Yuwen was moving his troops back to the capital, the Xie family would be greatly embarrassed.

He glared at Feng Qingchen fiercely, signaling her to quit while she was ahead. If she continued to be arrogant, she would be the one who would suffer.
