060 In the Snow
As a person who has been deeply poisoned by rumors, Feng Qingchen is well aware of the power of rumors, but she did not expect that this time they would be unprecedentedly intense.
As soon as she left Feng Mansion, she was surrounded by people. They looked at her with vulgar, contemptuous, scrutinizing, and teasing eyes, and started to talk about her in front of her.
"Eyes are too small, but they are very attractive."
When someone says something, someone else will immediately reply: "Indeed, those little eyes are really alluring. I was stunned by them."
"The butt is too small, so it can't give birth."
"Tsk... Would you dare to keep a child born by a woman like this? She might not even know who the father of the child is."
“That makes sense.”
"He looks very strong. I wonder how he is doing."
"Tsk tsk, I wonder how much money it would cost to have a romantic encounter with Miss Feng."
"Silver? Maybe Miss Feng doesn't value silver. She prefers to use force."
"Hahaha……"
In addition to these voices, many servants and matchmakers came forward and said that the master of a certain family wanted to take her as a concubine, and those who spoke up were all notorious people.
There were even brothel pimps who came to ask if Feng Qingchen had any plans to sell herself or put herself on the market, and they would definitely pay a high price for her.
Feng Qingchen pretended not to hear and just walked forward with a sneer on his face.
If there was no mastermind behind what happened today, she would never believe it even if she was beaten to death.
She insisted on going out today, not only to change the medicine for Madam Xie, but also to use her actions to let the person who spread rumors behind her know that this method could not defeat her, Feng Qingchen, so she should stop wasting her energy and take the opportunity to stop.
Ignoring the noise around him, Feng Qingchen just carried the medicine box and walked with his head held high...
Amid the hustle and bustle of this world, I have my own pure land.
Yuwen Yuanhua took a look from a distance, shook his head, and walked towards the city gate.
She is so proud and intelligent, but she is a girl. What a pity!
In addition to Yuwen Yuanhua, the princess and prince of Xiling also did not miss the fun.
At this time, they were sitting in a teahouse on the street opposite the Feng Mansion. From their window seats on the second floor, they could see everything going on outside the Feng Mansion clearly, but others could not see them.
"Brother, I underestimated her." Xiling Yaohua saw that Feng Qingchen did not, as he had thought, unable to withstand the impact of the rumors and return to Feng Mansion to seek help. Instead, he was calm and composed, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Although the things happening outside the Feng Mansion were not all her doing, she did not hesitate to add fuel to the flames. It was not because she was bored, but really...
She disliked Feng Qingchen, and Xiling Tianlei wanted to use this incident to see if he could force Lan Jiuqing out, or find even a hint of Lan Jiuqing's identity from Feng Qingchen.
"Anyone who can make Lan Jiuqing come to the rescue is definitely not an ordinary person." At this time, Xiling Tianlei's eyes looking at Feng Qingchen were less contemptuous and more concerned.
Perhaps, taking Feng Qingchen as a concubine is a good choice. Although Lan Jiuqing was not forced out today, taking her as a concubine is different.
The name Lan Jiuqing may not be well-known in the four empires, but he is quite influential in the martial arts world and is an idol for the younger generation in the martial arts world.
Three years ago, on the top of Mount Tai, Lan Jiuqing appeared out of nowhere and defeated Bu Jingyun, the number one master in the martial arts world, becoming famous in one battle.
However, Lan Jiuqing was also a strange person. After he became famous in one battle, he did not establish his own sect in the martial arts world. Instead, he faded out of the martial arts world and wandered among the four countries from time to time.
Lan Jiuqing, no one knows who he is except his name. He is a legend in the martial arts world. It's a pity that not everyone worships legendary figures. Xiling Tianlei is one of them.
Xiling Tianlei was unlucky. He traveled around Nanling and Beiling in the name of selecting concubines, but he met Lan Jiuqing again and again. Every time, Lan Jiuqing ruined his plans. This time when he came to Dongling, he was targeted by Lan Jiuqing before he could even make a move.
All these coincidences made Xiling Tianlei, a man who did not believe in fate, begin to think that Lan Jiuqing was his destined enemy.
Unfortunately, he failed to gain the upper hand in several battles. The last time, Yaohua shot him in the heart with an arrow, causing him to escape.
Hearing her brother's praise, and thinking about how a heroic figure like Lan Jiuqing was actually related to Feng Qingchen, Xiling Yaohua frowned, with a flash of disdain in her eyes:
"Besides the fact that Feng Qingchen has some noble qualities of a poor and downtrodden lady, I really don't see why Lan Jiuqing would take notice of her. Is it because she knows a little bit about medicine? In such a large Dongling, there are countless famous doctors. Even if she knows a little bit about medicine, what good is it? Feng Qingchen doesn't even have the most basic upbringing of a woman around her. How could Lan Jiuqing be interested in such a woman?"
Xiling Tianlei shook his head: "Yaohua, don't underestimate her. She is definitely not a worthless noble person. Facing endless contempt, she can remain calm. Not to mention women, even men don't have such a temperament. Yaohua, if you were in her shoes, could you do better than her?"
It’s not that Xiling Tianlei looked down on Yaohua, but he knew very well that if Feng Qingchen was not resolute enough and strong enough inside, he would never dare to take a single step out of the Feng Mansion.
Even if it was Xiling Tianlei, knowing that there was something wrong here, he would not dare to show up at this critical juncture. He would stay indoors and would not show up until the storm died down.
However, Feng Qingchen had the courage to step out of Feng Mansion at this moment.
A weak woman faced the accusations of the world alone. When no one protected her, she opened her arms to protect herself. She shattered the rumors with a calm attitude and crushed the people who secretly framed her with a proud attitude.
Feng Qingchen came out in this manner in order to let those who framed her know that she, Feng Qingchen, would not be defeated so easily, and rumors and gossips could not hurt her.
Sure enough, Xiling Yaohua stopped talking after hearing this. The cup in her hand trembled slightly and the tea splashed out.
She knew she had met her match!
"Do you want to continue?" Xiling Yaohua put away his arrogance and asked respectfully.
"What's the point of useless work? It seems that Lan Jiuqing will not take any action for this." Xiling Tianlei left this sentence and strode away.
…
Xiling Tianlei looked up to Feng Qingchen, and she was sad. How could she not be sad when she heard others treating her like a commodity? But what could she do if she was sad?
She wanted to survive, she wanted the Dongling Dynasty to survive, she wanted to survive on the Jiuzhou Continent, she couldn't let the rumors continue, and the only way to crush the rumors was to let the world see that she didn't care about them.
In this world, the only thing she could rely on was her medical skills. She had finally made a name for herself through Madam Xie's incident, and she absolutely could not give up halfway.
Besides, a doctor is like a caring parent. She was the one who bandaged and cleaned Madam Xie’s wounds, so she should be fully responsible.
However, Feng Qingchen did not expect that rumors would bring so much trouble.
She knew that no one wanted to have anything to do with her at this time, so she took the opportunity to mingle with the vendors on the busy street, went to the clothing store to change into a new set of clothes, put on some foreign clothes, and after shaking off the onlookers, she walked around a few streets and made sure that no one was following her before she went to Xie's house.
However, before she reached the gate of Xie's mansion, she was stopped by the personal maid of Mrs. Xie II...
This maid received an order from the Second Madam and waited for her here for four days. Her purpose was to prevent Feng Qingchen from entering the Xie Mansion...
