1278 Henpecked is not a solution
Nanling Jinfan didn't really come for the purpose of "visiting the sick". He didn't care whether the Ninth Prince saw him or not. He made a special trip just to send a signal and play a guiding role.
His action was to tell the officials of Nanling that it was true that the Ninth Prince was kicked down by a woman at the gate. There was no need to conceal this matter, and everyone did not need to consider the Ninth Prince's face and pretend not to know.
As long as the powerful people in Nanling had a little bit of common sense, they would understand that Nanling Jinfan deliberately wanted to embarrass the Ninth Prince, and as subjects, they would of course do things according to the wishes of their superiors.
Not long after Nanling Jinfan left, Nanling's officials and dignitaries from the capital came to the villa one after another, presenting all kinds of precious medicinal herbs and supplements.
The Ninth Prince refused to see Nanling Jinfan, and of course he would not see these people either. These people did not care. They all looked worried, asking about the Ninth Prince's illness, caring about his mood, and asking about the Ninth Prince's and Feng Qingchen in their words.
Of course, the main purpose of these people was to tell the Ninth Prince that there was no need to hide what happened yesterday, as they all knew about it.
The staff sent off wave after wave of "visitors" and were almost getting sick themselves.
"This really never ends." The aide kept wiping the sweat from his forehead before he took a breath. The doorman came to report that someone else had arrived.
"Okay, these people won't let go if they get the chance." The staff finally understood the feelings of the officials in Nanling. They were just rushing to laugh at the Ninth Prince's joke.
No matter how noble you are, no matter how arrogant you are, no matter how insolent you are, in the end you couldn't even control your own woman and was kicked down by your own woman. This was really a disgrace to Nanling.
Even if these people are not as well-born as the Ninth Prince, no matter how poor they are, they will not be dominated by a woman. Most of them want to find a sense of existence from the Ninth Prince, and they are happy to see the Ninth Prince embarrassed, even if it does not benefit them in any way.
The rumors outside were getting worse and worse, with words like henpecked, cowardly, not a manly, and not manly at all being attributed to the Ninth Prince.
The servant told the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen the news they had found out. Feng Qingchen kept wiping his sweat and felt extremely regretful.
If she had known this earlier, she would have endured it and waited until she entered the door before kicking. However, she didn't know what was wrong with her at that time, and she got angry when she saw the Ninth Prince. She couldn't hold back and kicked him.
After the servant finished speaking, he left without waiting for the Ninth Uncle's order. The Ninth Uncle looked at Feng Qingchen with a smile and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
He was described as a coward by the people of Nanling. Nanling Jinfan was so narrow-minded that he wanted to use all the unpleasant words to describe him.
"I didn't mean it." Feng Qingchen looked at the Ninth Uncle pitifully, cursing that scum Nanling Jinfan from beginning to end in his heart.
Damn it, the Ninth Prince didn't care about it at first, but this damn man did something like this, causing the Ninth Prince to bring up old grudges again.
"I didn't say you did it on purpose. Nanling Jinfan wanted to take this opportunity to ruin my reputation. What do you think we should do about this?" He had to let Feng Qingchen solve this problem himself, so as to prevent Feng Qingchen from causing trouble again.
There are some things he doesn't care about, but outsiders do, and his subordinates will care as well. He wants to establish his authority, and such things cannot happen again. At least on the surface, Feng Qingchen cannot embarrass him again.
"This is easy to handle. As long as you accompany me to the welcoming banquet tonight, the officials of Nanling will see that there is no conflict between us, and the rumors will be broken by themselves." As soon as Feng Qingchen finished speaking, he was scorned by the Ninth Prince: "Are you sure that after I accompany you to the welcoming banquet, the rumors will not become more and more intense? By then, I will not be just henpecked, and I may even be suspected of being a gigolo."
"Uh... you don't seem like the type to be persuaded by soft words." Feng Qingchen hung her head. She admitted that the Ninth Prince's concerns were correct.
She had just kicked the Ninth Prince to the ground, and the Ninth Prince turned around and showed his affection to her. Outsiders would definitely look down on the Ninth Prince even more, and might even say that the Ninth Prince was a cheapskate.
"How can I be a henpecked person?" When it comes to rumors, no one cares whether they are true or false; the more exaggerated they are, the more people like them.
"What should we do then?"
"You caused this trouble yourself, so you must solve it yourself." The Ninth Prince picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. "I will go back to my room to recuperate now. When Qingchen comes up with a solution, please let me know. I will fully cooperate."
He admitted that he was a bad person, but the opportunity was rare, so he might as well give Feng Qingchen a little more headache.
Sometimes, it is not you who cares about face, but others who care about it. For the sake of others, they have to maintain their own face.
The Ninth Prince left in a leisurely manner, leaving Feng Qingchen alone to ponder over his thoughts.
She had initially ignored all those rumors, but as time went on and new things came out, fewer people paid attention to her little things, but...
The Ninth Prince is different from her. Unless the scandal of the Nanling royal family is exposed, this matter will definitely not be settled in the short term, especially since Nanling Jinfan is still fanning the flames behind the scenes.
What should I do in this situation?
If the Ninth Prince's staff were here, they would definitely tell Feng Qingchen: There is no need to do this at all. No matter how the people of Nanling spread rumors, you should still do your own thing and show your cold and noble demeanor. Anyway, the royal family of Nanling will not dare to offend you.
Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince's staff were busy receiving officials from Nanling and had no time to take care of Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen thought about it for the whole day but couldn't come up with any useful ideas. Finally, she gritted her teeth and decided to persuade the Ninth Prince to accompany her to the palace banquet tonight.
As for the rumors outside... never mind, those people wouldn't dare to say them in front of them anyway.
Feng Qingchen told Uncle Nine about her decision. Uncle Nine looked at Feng Qingchen critically and said, "You've been thinking about it for a whole day, and you only came up with a solution that's not a solution?"
"I'm out of ideas. If you have a better idea, just tell me and I'll cooperate." Feng Qingchen was also depressed. It wasn't that she had no ideas, but...
This is Nanling, it’s Nanling. She has neither connections nor power, so she can’t do anything. She can’t beat Nanling Jinfan in spreading rumors.
"Since I have given you the decision, of course I will do it according to your way." Not only did the Ninth Prince not propose a solution, but he once again pushed the heavy responsibility onto Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen was so angry, but she couldn't refuse. It was her fault that she had caused all the trouble. She could only pray that the dinner would go smoothly. Wang Jinling had enough reputation, and the Nanling royal family didn't dare to mess with her.
But Feng Qingchen forgot that the Nanling royal family did not dare to offend her for Wang Jinling's sake, but that did not mean that others would not dare to offend her, such as Wang Jinling's teacher, the Palace Master of Jixia Academy.
Princess Mingwei is currently at the Palace Master's residence, inviting the Palace Master to attend the dinner tonight...
