A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1638 Threats, do what you have to do

"I want to live at your house." The young man in the carriage said carelessly, not knowing what "reasonable" meant.

At this moment, not to mention Feng Qingchen, even the maid beside him was shocked: "Master, what are you talking about?"

"Sir, please think twice." The gentle maid also spoke up to persuade him.

"I have my own plans. Hongxiu, Lvqing, remember your duties." The man in the carriage still spoke softly, but Feng Qingchen could tell that he was unhappy.

He was unhappy, and Feng Qingchen was even more unhappy. What was going on? He had to stay at her house just because he hit the carriage, treating her house as an inn.

"Sir, your maid is right. Your request is against etiquette. Your carriage is broken. I can compensate you and also arrange a carriage to take you to where you want to go, but it is really inconvenient for you to live in my house." Why would she just invite a man back home? Wasn't her reputation bad enough?

"What if I must live in your house?" The man in the carriage didn't care about etiquette at all.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to this." Feng Qingchen did not give in.

She could pay for the damage to the carriage, but she would not pay without principles.

"Girl, you don't have any sincerity at all." The man seemed to be determined to rely on Feng Qingchen.

Feng Qingchen refused coldly: "Your Highness is asking too much."

"Too much? This is the only request I have."

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to this, but I can double compensate you for your losses." Feng Qingchen repeated, saying that he was only willing to pay silver as compensation.

"Do you think I'm short of that little bit of silver?" The man chuckled, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice.

Feng Qingchen felt that this man was really difficult to deal with. He took a deep breath and said, "Sir, I crashed your carriage, and the money I paid you is enough."

The implication is that this person should not push his luck further.

"I am not short of money. I only have that one condition. If the girl doesn't agree, then forget it." The man in the carriage said generously.

Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then she stepped back obediently: "Sir, wait a moment, I'll have someone help you clear the way." Since she didn't need to pay, she might as well save a little. She was not an arrogant scholar who would not take advantage of others for the sake of her so-called dignity and pride.

The man in the carriage seemed surprised. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "You really won't compensate?"

"Sir, don't you want me to compensate?" Feng Qingchen was a few steps away from the carriage and raised his voice slightly.

"My words were just polite." The man seemed a little angry. The maid named Hongxiu in the carriage couldn't hold back her anger and said in a gloomy tone, "You are so shameless. I have never seen a shameless woman. Not only did you argue with a strange man in the street, but you also didn't want to pay for the damage to his carriage. How can there be such a shameless woman like you in Dongling? You are really a disgrace to the women of Dongling."

Feng Qingchen originally didn't want to argue with a maid, but the words were indeed a bit harsh, and Hongxiu's voice was loud so that everyone around could hear it.

Feng Qingchen's face darkened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said threateningly: "Master, keep your maid in check, and be careful of what you say."

"You are so arrogant! I'm so scared." Hongxiu said in a sinister tone without waiting for the man to speak.

Feng Qingchen's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness: "Sir, since your maid is disobedient, don't blame me for being rude."

"Oh... why are you being so rude?" The man's tone was quite dissatisfied, and it was unclear whether it was because of Hongxiu or Feng Qingchen.

"Hmph..." Feng Qingchen sneered: "Since you, a maid, don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is, I will let her understand what it means that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The young master is indeed not an ordinary person, but don't forget that this is Dongling."

"Dong Ling? What's wrong with Dong Ling? There is nothing in this Kyushu Continent that I am afraid of. My maid is indeed disobedient, I will teach her a lesson, so please don't worry about her." The man in the carriage's voice became a little deeper: "Hong Xiu, slap her face."

"Young Master..." the maid named Hongxiu screamed in horror.

"What? Don't you listen to me? Why don't you slap me?" The man's voice became even lower, with a dangerous tone, which showed that he was really angry.

"Sir, Hongxiu didn't mean it. She is always outspoken and has no ill intentions. I will apologize to that girl on her behalf." Another gentle woman in the carriage persuaded, but the man was determined: "Slap her in the face."

"Yes." Hongxiu responded aggrievedly, and then she heard the sound of clapping coming from the carriage.

Feng Qingchen stood outside the carriage and heard the conversation between the three people clearly, but he did not mean to interrupt. When the carriages collided, someone went to report to the police. Feng Qingchen estimated that the police would be here soon, so he left the matter to the police.

Sure enough, after Hongxiu slapped her more than twenty times, the officials from Shuntian Prefecture finally arrived. Seeing Feng Qingchen standing in the crowd from afar, several officials trotted a few steps and said, "Miss Feng, we are late and frightened you."

"I hit this young man's carriage. You can decide how much silver I need to pay. You should pay as much as you should. There is no need to save money for me." Feng Qingchen explained the matter neatly. In order to prevent Shuntian Prefecture from abusing its power to please her, Feng Qingchen particularly emphasized that compensation should be based on actual conditions.

The official was a shrewd man, so he naturally understood what Feng Qingchen meant. With Feng Qingchen's current status, any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.

In fact, this is only because Feng Qingchen knows etiquette and abides by the law. Otherwise, given her current status in Dongling, if she bumped into someone, then she bumped into someone, and no one would dare to ask her to pay compensation.

The officer knew that this job was easy to handle, and was about to go forward to communicate with the carriage owner, but Feng Qingchen added: "There is a maid named Hongxiu in the carriage, who slandered the daughter of a duke. You should deal with it according to the law."

If you can punish someone with the law, there is no need to resort to underhanded tactics. She, Feng Qingchen, is punishing people openly, so what.

"I understand." The officer knew as soon as he heard the maid that the person she was scolding was Feng Qingchen, so he would not let her go easily.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to step forward to arrest the man, but as soon as he approached the carriage, he felt a force that knocked the officer away.

This sudden scene startled everyone. Feng Qingchen frowned slightly. The officer reacted and shouted loudly: "The prisoner is resisting arrest. Everyone be careful."

With a loud bang, they drew their swords, lined up in a row, and surrounded the carriage.

"Miss Feng, I told my maid that I will punish her." The man in the carriage seemed not to hear the noise outside and only spoke to Feng Qingchen.

"If your maid committed a crime in Dongling's territory, she must be dealt with according to Dongling's laws." Feng Qingchen refused to give in: "Now the young master resisted arrest and injured the official, and there is another crime."

"Miss Feng, do you think these officers can arrest me?" The man's voice was slightly cold, his arrogance visible.

"If these officials are not enough, what about the Imperial Guards? There are 100,000 troops stationed outside the Dongling Imperial City. You can give it a try." Being able to fight ten thousand with one does not mean that you can fight one hundred thousand with one.

"Are you threatening me?"

"The woman outside, I am the one who scolded you. It has nothing to do with my young master. If you have the guts, come at me. I want to see what you have that dares to speak harshly to my young master."
