1653Sincerity, a slap in the face and a date

Wang Jinling, who is calm, noble and naturally elegant, never needs to show his excellence. His every word and action demonstrates his uniqueness and unparalleled brilliance.

When standing in front of Wang Jinling, you can only look up and admire him. If you intend to compete with him, you are doomed to fail miserably.

Ling Tian understood this principle, but he couldn't control himself. When he saw Wang Jinling, he couldn't help but compare himself with Wang Jinling. Through this comparison, Ling Tian found himself in a tragedy. The things he was proud of had no advantage in front of Wang Jinling.

As expected, he was too self-centered before, and was praised too much by those around him. Only after he stepped out did he realize that there are always people better than you. Whether it was the Ninth Prince or Wang Jinling, he could not compare to them.

Ling Tian's eyes dimmed, and for a moment he seemed to have lost his fighting spirit.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen took in Ling Tian's expression. The Ninth Prince had a blank expression on his face, but Feng Qingchen secretly said what a pity.

Ling Tian is very good, at least in his field. But when facing Wang Jinling, Ling Tian compared his shortcomings with Wang Jinling's strengths. How could he not fail miserably?

As time passed and the conversation deepened, the smile on Ling Tian's face became more and more stiff, and his whole body seemed a little restrained. His aura was completely suppressed by Wang Jinling, and the situation was completely under Wang Jinling's control.

Wang Jinling has always been gentle to others. If it were normal times, Wang Jinling would definitely restrain his aura and not steal Ling Tian's limelight. But Ling Tian should never let a man serve as a servant and insult Feng Qingchen in the street.

Feng Qingchen was Wang Jinling's Achilles' heel. Wang Jinling had killed for Feng Qingchen more than once, and this time was no exception. Facing Ling Tian who was about to be defeated, Wang Jinling not only did not stop, but pressed forward again, and said, "I saw the young master so well that I almost forgot about the business. It's getting late, young master, please call out your maid."

Ling Tian's mouth twitched slightly, and he managed to maintain a smile: "Luqing, go and bring Hongxiu here."

"Yes." Lu Qing prayed silently for Hongxiu in her heart. At the same time, she also hoped that Hongxiu would learn her lesson after this incident and not think that just because she is from the Sky Castle, she can rule the world and look down on even the emperor.

The kowtow and apology scene was officially staged. Hongxiu, dressed in white, walked out gracefully. Her pale cheeks and sad eyes all told of her grievances.

Is this an apology? Wang Jinling's eyes flashed with displeasure.

Hong Xiu walked in without looking at Feng Qingchen, but knelt down in front of Ling Tian: "This servant greets you, sir."

"Go and apologize to Miss Feng." Ling Tian originally had some little ideas in mind, but now he had no intention of using them, so he gave the order directly.

Hongxiu was stunned for a moment, then she moved her body and knelt obediently in front of Feng Qingchen. Luqing came forward at the right time with a cup of tea. Hongxiu took the tea and held it high in front of Feng Qingchen: "I apologize to Miss Feng. Please forgive me once."

There was nothing wrong with offering tea to apologize, but when Feng Qingchen was about to take the teacup, Hongxiu moved her wrist, revealing her bruised and whip-bruised little arm.

Everyone's face changed. A hint of murderous intent flashed across the Ninth Prince's eyes. Feng Qingchen immediately withdrew his hand and said coldly, "Apologize? Miss Hongxiu, are you here to apologize or to hold someone accountable?"

He actually played tricks in front of me. He's really brave.

"I'm here to apologize." Hongxiu trembled, as if she was extremely frightened, and quickly retracted her wrist.

"Hmph..." You're taking them for fools.

Feng Qingchen snorted coldly, turned his face away and said nothing; the Ninth Prince raised his eyelids but also did not speak.

Wang Jinling looked at Ling Tian with a smile. Although he didn't say a word of accusation, the expression in his eyes was enough to embarrass Ling Tian.

He doesn't control his subordinates well!

Wang Jinling did not look at him with contempt and arrogance, but Ling Tian hoped that Wang Jinling would blame him, so that he could say with confidence that the eldest master was no better than this.

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly. Lu Qing thought to herself that something was wrong and quietly kicked Hong Xiu. However, Hong Xiu seemed to be stunned. She knelt on the ground and did not move. Her little body was straight and her stubbornness made people feel distressed.

The Ninth Prince's body was getting colder and colder, and he broke the silence: "It's getting late, and I still have official business to attend to."

"Uncle Nine, please wait a moment." Ling Tian couldn't let Uncle Nine leave like this, so he quickly tried to persuade him to stay. He turned around and said to Hong Xiu, "Hong Xiu, why don't you apologize to Miss Feng quickly?"

"Yes." Hongxiu said obediently, but was interrupted by Feng Qingchen: "No need, I am not worthy of it. Young Lord, you should hire a doctor for Miss Hongxiu. Miss Hongxiu is delicate and precious. If anything happens to her, it will be my fault."

The injuries that Hongxiu had to show or not were telling everyone that the injuries were caused by Feng Qingchen. If Feng Qingchen dared to do it, she would dare to admit it. But it was not so easy to frame her for something she did not do.

"Miss Feng, Hongxiu..." Lu Qing was anxious and wanted to explain for Hongxiu, but she couldn't continue her words halfway. The coldness in Feng Qingchen's eyes was too scary.

She has no say here.

“Qingchen, I’ve spoiled these two maids.” Ling Tian’s face turned red and blue, blue and white, like a palette: “Qingchen, don’t take it to heart, I’ll help you vent your anger.”

"Junior Master, you are too kind. I think Miss Hongxiu seems to be very resentful. If there is any grievance, it is better to speak it out as soon as possible. The Ninth Prince is here. If Miss Hongxiu has suffered any grievance in Dongling, it is just right for her to speak out now so that the Ninth Prince can take charge of the matter for her." The officials of Shuntian Prefecture are not stupid. If they really want to make trouble for Hongxiu, they will not use such an obvious trick, which would give people a chance to criticize her.

"Miss Hongxiu, while the Ninth Prince is here, please tell us quickly about any grievances you have." Feng Qingchen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked down at Hongxiu.

"Miss Feng, I, I have no grievances. I shouldn't have offended you. I know I was wrong. I beg you to let me go. I will never dare to do it again, never again..."

Dong dong dong, Hongxiu prostrated herself at Feng Qingchen's feet and kowtowed continuously. After just a few kowtows, blood came out all over the floor. But she still didn't stop, as if she wasn't going to stop until Feng Qingchen told her to.

This was coercion. Hongxiu used the method of torturing Feng Qingchen to force him to admit that he was wrong and then not pursue the matter.

It must be said that Hongxiu is very smart, but she met Feng Qingchen, who didn't play by the rules. Feng Qingchen didn't even look at Hongxiu, letting her head break and bleed, and looked at Ling Tian with a faint smile: "Little Master, what does this mean?"

Is this an apology or a smear campaign?

"Qingchen, Hongxiu is young and ignorant, just let her go this time. You see she has suffered." Ling Tian spoke awkwardly. He couldn't blame Hongxiu for anything at this moment. It would be even more embarrassing to say it out loud that he couldn't even control a little girl.

The master and servant were of the same character. Feng Qingchen was very disappointed, but he did not show it on his face. He just said, "Little Master, I came to visit you today. I won't mention these trivial matters."

Feng Qingchen did not say that he would let Hongxiu go, he just did not intend to pursue the matter any further. This was already the best choice and gave Ling Tian enough face. Ling Tian also knew that this matter could not be forced, but Hongxiu was still not satisfied. She raised her bloody little face and looked at Feng Qingchen with eyes as if she was looking at an enemy.

It’s only been one day, what grudge do she have with Hongxiu?

Feng Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes, and he turned to look at the Ninth Uncle...

Was there something going on that she didn't know about?
