1082 Headache, the Ninth Prince feels wronged...
When Feng Qingchen returned to the Feng Mansion, everyone in the Feng Mansion was happier than during the Chinese New Year. With Feng Qingchen's return, they felt like they had found their backbone, and they dared to stand up straight and scold those people.
Their daughter was not a vain woman. She went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to treat patients. She was not like what was said outside, that she was clinging to the Ninth Prince desperately and ignoring her daughter's shame to cling to the Ninth Prince...
A girl like their daughter can marry anyone she wants. When the Yun family came to propose marriage before, their daughter refused. If she really wants wealth and power, marrying the eldest son of the Yun family and becoming the mistress of the Yun family is no worse than the Ninth Prince's Consort who is nowhere to be seen.
The housekeeper looked at Feng Qingchen with a face full of pride. What's wrong with their Feng Mansion relying on a woman to be in charge? Even a woman is no worse than those big families.
As for Zhezhe who had caused unrest in the Feng Mansion, everyone in the Feng Mansion ignored him. All their eyes were on Feng Qingchen.
"Miss, it's good to have you back. I have already cleaned up your room and replaced all the things inside with new ones. If you are not satisfied with anything, I will make changes." Tong Jue and Tong Yao surrounded Feng Qingchen in the middle. Chun Hui and the other three were still recuperating from their injuries and did not come out.
The group walked in while chatting. Tong Jue saw Feng Qingchen always had a faint smile on her face. For a moment, she was not sure whether Feng Qingchen knew what had happened recently. After thinking for a while, she said in a low voice: "Miss, a lot of things have happened recently. If you are not busy, I would like to report to you first."
"About Chu Changhua and the Ninth Prince's marriage? And the rumor that I'm moving into the Ninth Prince's Mansion?" Feng Qingchen asked back. Tong Jue was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly. He wanted to comfort Feng Qingchen, but seeing Feng Qingchen's calm face, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"You don't have to worry about these things. I will find a way to solve them. Don't worry about the rumors in the imperial city." Feng Qingchen strode towards the inner courtyard. Halfway through, he remembered: "Oh, Young Master Zhezhe is back. You can arrange a place for him to live."
“Ah…Miss, why are you…” Tong Jue and Tong Yao were so frightened that they retreated one after another, which shows how powerful Zhezhe is.
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhezhe has no guards to protect him. He is only slightly stronger than ordinary children. Besides, he is covered with wounds now. Even if he wants to kill someone, he is powerless." Feng Qingchen tried to comfort them, but still couldn't dispel Tong Jue and Tong Yao's fear.
Zhezhe's brutal methods have been branded in their minds. They are afraid of Zhezhe from the bottom of their hearts. Tong Yao said pitifully: "Miss, can you send him away?"
"I want to, but I can't send him away. Don't be afraid. If Zhezhe does something wrong, let the guards take action. Just don't beat him to death." It's not enough to deal with Zhezhe with just gentle means. Feng Qingchen does not rule out the use of violence, but there must be a limit. If he has not done anything wrong, you can't beat him, otherwise Zhezhe's personality will definitely be distorted.
But Tong Jue and Tong Yao softened their hearts: "Isn't this too cruel? He is still a child."
“As long as he doesn’t make any mistakes, I won’t beat or scold him. Although he is a child, his behavior is completely unlike that of a child. He should be responsible for what he has done.” According to Zhezhe’s crimes, sentencing him to death a hundred times would not be enough. If he were to be sentenced to life for life, Zhezhe didn’t know how many times he would have to die to be punished.
"I understand." Tong Jue and Tong Yao breathed a sigh of relief. This way, they didn't have to worry about Zhezhe attacking them, nor did they feel guilty about beating a child.
Nowadays people believe that beatings will produce filial sons.
Seeing that Feng Qingchen was not upset by the rumors and Zhezhe was not a threat, Tong Jue and Tong Yao put their worries aside and continued to express their excitement about Feng Qingchen's return home. They said happily, "Miss, we have prepared hot water. Would you like to take a bath and change your clothes first? While Chunhui and the others were recovering from their injuries, they made several sets of clothes for you. They are all in your favorite colors and styles. We also made you a few pairs of shoes..."
Tong Jue and Tong Yao surrounded Feng Qingchen, chattering about trivial matters. Feng Qingchen nodded with a smile, adding a few words from time to time to show that he was listening very carefully.
The master and his two servants got along harmoniously. The secret guard saw it and remembered it in his heart. He sighed in his heart that after Miss Feng returned to the Feng Mansion, she felt more comfortable and relaxed. Judging from the current situation, Miss Feng might not want to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in the short term. He didn't know if the prince would be angry when he came back.
Will the Ninth Prince be angry?
Of course he would be angry. Feng Qingchen left without saying goodbye and without any warning. It would be strange if the Ninth Prince was not angry.
"Tell me, there is nothing unusual. Why did Feng Qingchen leave so peacefully?" The Ninth Prince was standing in the hall. There was no one else in the ten-mile radius except the housekeeper, and the housekeeper...
At this moment, I wish I could disappear too.
“Your Highness, I really didn’t know. The eldest son came to see Miss Feng during the day, and they chatted in the flower hall for a long time. An hour later, Miss Feng said she wanted to go out. I didn’t think much about it at the time. Miss Feng just said she wanted to go out, and I didn’t dare to stop her. I just ordered the guards to protect Miss Feng.” The butler almost buried his head in his chest, and his legs kept shaking. If the Ninth Prince didn’t retract his aura, he would definitely collapse to the ground.
"Tell me, didn't you know Feng Qingchen was going back to Feng Mansion? If Feng Qingchen hadn't made up her mind to go back, why would she take Zhezhe with her? You didn't even notice this. Did you do your job with all your heart? Do you regard Feng Qingchen as your master?"
These words were heart-piercing. The Ninth Prince rarely said such harsh words. The housekeeper fell to the ground with a thud when he heard them. "My Lord, my Lord, I know I was wrong. I really didn't know that Miss Feng was going back to the Feng Mansion."
"Hmph..." The Ninth Prince didn't even bother to look at the butler and strode out.
He gave the butler too many privileges. In the past, the butler knew the limits, but now...
If the butler really treated Feng Qingchen as his master, what happened today would not have happened.
The Ninth Prince was furious, but he did not go directly to the Feng Mansion. Instead, he called the secret guard and asked in detail what happened today. The Ninth Prince had heard about the conversation between Chu Changhua and Feng Qingchen from the housekeeper before, but this was not the reason why Feng Qingchen left. Feng Qingchen had decided to leave at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and meeting Chu Changhua was just an accident.
It’s a pity that the Ninth Prince’s secret guards are very powerful, and the people around Wang Jinling are not ordinary people. The secret guards of the palace were unaware of the conversation between Feng Qingchen and Wang Jinling.
inability.
The Ninth Prince glanced at the secret guard, frightening him so much that his whole body stiffened. Just when the secret guard thought he was going to be in trouble, the Ninth Prince waved the secret guard away and sat alone in the study.
In fact, he probably already knew why Feng Qingchen went back, but he just didn't want to face it.
"Wang Jinling, I didn't expect it to be you. I always thought you were a gentleman and wouldn't do such things behind someone's back. It turns out you also gossip behind others' backs."
He knew that he couldn't keep this matter a secret from Feng Qingchen forever, but he couldn't reveal it now. He didn't know what Feng Qingchen would think after knowing it.
He had already taken action to resolve the matter. He didn't believe that Wang Jinling would not have noticed it. The rumors in the capital would disappear soon, but Wang Jinling told Feng Qingchen about it at this time. What else could this do? This was simply to undermine his reputation.
It’s really a headache.
The Ninth Prince rubbed his aching temples, took a deep breath, stood up calmly, took out a nightgown from behind the bookshelf and put it on.
With a snap, the candlelight in the room went out. The next second, a figure flashed by, and the Ninth Prince's Mansion returned to its original tranquility...
