184 Adultery, Riding Together
After Feng Qingchen packed up, he glanced at the coachman who was still unconscious, and said to Zhai Dongming, "My Lord, can you ask your people to help me carry him to the Feng Mansion?"
Although Zhai Dongming didn't like her, for Wang Jinling's sake, as long as the demands were not too excessive, there would be no problem. Feng Qingchen still understood this measure.
The driver's injuries were not serious, so it was just right for Sun Sixing to deal with it. It was also time for him to take action.
Zhai Dongming nodded: "Okay, but..."
Zhai Dongming paused, and Feng Qingchen took over very cleverly: "But what?"
There is no free lunch in the world, and Feng Qingchen doesn't think there is anything about him that is worthy of Zhai Dongming's attention.
Zhai Dongming stepped forward and whispered in Feng Qingchen's ear: "Help me go see someone."
"Patients?" What else could she see besides patients.
Zhai Dongming hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
All the doctors said that he was not sick, but he had been bedridden for many years. This could be considered a disease. He should give it a try. It was Jin Ling who kept repeating in his ear every day that Feng Qingchen was so good and so good.
"Okay, help me carry the person to Feng Mansion and hand him over to Sun Sixing. Tell him that this is his assessment." Feng Qingchen nodded decisively.
You can go to the Blood-Clothed Guards at any time, but you can't make friends with Prince Su at any time.
Although the people she least wants to heal are the powerful, in this world where ordinary people have no human rights, only by healing the powerful can you stand firm, and only by healing the powerful can you make money.
If you want to rob the rich and help the poor, you have to rob the rich first.
It was against etiquette for the two of them to be so close to each other in public, but the woman was charming and generous, and the man was mighty and domineering, they looked like a beautiful scenery, and the two of them behaved in a generous and upright manner, making it even more difficult for people to have any blasphemous thoughts.
When Zhai Dongming's subordinates brought his horse over, Zhai Dongming pulled Feng Qingchen onto the horse with a force, and everyone cheered...
"Mad man." Feng Qingchen was startled and leaned into Zhai Dongming's arms involuntarily.
"Sit still, I won't take advantage of you. I just don't like your looks." Zhai Dongming rode his horse at full speed, holding Feng Qingchen with one hand, openly and generously, with an indescribable demeanor.
After recovering from his injuries, he continued to lurk in Dongling, taking advantage of the situation. Xiling Tianlei and Xiling Yaohua had just made contact with the remnants of Zhu Xiang and negotiated a lot of private deals. The brother and sister were in a good mood and were discussing when to come to Dongling openly. When they looked up, they saw Feng Qingchen and Zhai Dongming riding together.
"This woman doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. She even thinks her reputation is not bad enough." For some reason, Xiling Tianlei felt it was dazzling to see Feng Qingchen and Zhai Dongming so well matched.
"Brother, now that Yuwen Yuanhua is gone, she must find a backer as soon as possible. Otherwise, with her ability to make enemies everywhere, she won't know how she will die.
Although she is on good terms with the Ninth Uncle and Lan Jiuqing, who is the Ninth Uncle? How could he interfere in these mundane matters? As for Lan Jiuqing, although he is a martial arts expert, he is not from the royal family after all and cannot help Feng Qingchen. The Prince of Su is a good candidate."
As a woman, Xiling Yaohua understood Feng Qingchen's actions, but she was more jealous. How could a woman like Feng Qingchen know young talents that ordinary people could not reach? And the most important thing was that these young talents respected her very much and wanted to blaspheme her.
Xiling Yaohua could understand why Princess Anping wanted to destroy Feng Qingchen so much, because she, like Princess Anping, also wanted to destroy Feng Qingchen.
With a "snap" sound, Xiling Tianlei crushed the cup in his hand. The fragments cut his fingers and blood flowed out from between his fingers.
"Brother..." Xiling Yaohua quickly stood up and used a handkerchief to bandage Xiling Tianlei's wound. Xiling Tianlei had a gloomy face and did not speak, just watching Feng Qingchen's leaving figure.
Nine Princes Palace
Dong Lingjiu nodded when he heard the news, indicating that he understood. After the messenger left, a smile of appreciation flashed across his eyes. He was indeed a smart man, and it was worth his personal visit. This Feng Qingchen was really a stubborn donkey, and he would not leave unless he was beaten.
Imperial Study
"The Prince of Su? Feng Qingchen is indeed capable and also afraid of death." The emperor waved his hand, signaling Shadow to retreat.
He doesn't care about Feng Qingchen alone. What he cares about is whether Feng Qingchen is worth using.
Unexpectedly, Feng Qingchen is a capable person. She resolved the crisis on her own without the need for the Ninth Prince to step in.
Such a woman might be of use to him.
Harem
"You said that Prince Su and Feng Qingchen were riding together on the street?" A stern look flashed across the queen's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"To answer your Majesty, yes, many people saw it. Prince Su forced Feng Qingchen onto the horse." The palace maid crawled on the ground, not daring to breathe.
"Forced? What a Feng Qingchen! Could it be that all the commanders of the imperial guards were prepared for her? After Yuwen Yuanhua left, Zhai Dongming came. I thought Zhai Dongming was a good person, but I didn't expect..." The queen slapped the table with a "bang". The jade cup jumped up and was swept to the ground by the wide hem of her clothes.
Fortunately, the carpet under my feet was thick enough, otherwise the exquisite jade cup would have shattered.
It's no wonder that the queen was so angry. You have to know that Zhai Dongming was her future son-in-law and she was planning to recruit him as a consort.
Although Prince Su rarely participates in politics, his position in Dongling is very important. He is the sworn brother of the late emperor, and the current emperor was able to ascend to the throne with the support of Prince Su.
As long as Zhai Dongming marries Anping, it is only a matter of time before Dongling Ziluo takes the throne.
It’s really because the Zhai family has no daughter, otherwise the queen would have asked Dongling Ziluo to marry her long ago.
Luowang Mansion
After a hundred days of recovery, Dong Ling Zi Luo's foot injury has not yet healed, but he looks much more energetic. However, his face changed when he heard the news.
"Zhai Dongming, doesn't he know that Feng Qingchen is my woman? Tell the imperial physician that I will get out of bed in three days." Too many things happened during this period of time. Although he avoided some crises due to illness, he also missed opportunities.
The servant hesitated for a moment, but answered "yes" firmly. He knew very well that once Prince Luo made a decision, it could not be changed.
Zhenguogong Mansion
The Duke's wife was not displeased at all, but laughed: "She is very patient. It seems that it is impossible to anger her and ask her to come to the Duke's Mansion. In this case, go and take the Duke's Mansion's notice to the Feng Mansion and say that the young lady in the mansion is unwell and ask Feng Qingchen to come."
The wife of the Duke is thirty years old this year. She is the eldest daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang. There is no doubt that her family is very powerful, and her husband's family is also one of the most powerful in the Dongling Dynasty. Looking around the Dongling Dynasty, there are not many women who can make her angry.
She had never suffered a loss or lost face, but Feng Qingchen...
Because of Feng Qingchen's words, her own daughter, Princess Wu'an, was ruined. The emperor not only took away Princess Wu'an's title, but also issued an edict to demote the Duke's Mansion for mismanaging the household.
You should know that Princess Wu'an is the only woman in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion who was granted a title. This was because when Princess Wu'an was a child, she caught the eye of the Empress Dowager, who asked for her. She was supposed to be uniquely noble, but no one expected that she would end up with such a result.
The wife of the Duke believed that all this was Feng Qingchen's fault. If it weren't for Feng Qingchen, how could Wu An be stripped of his title, and how could the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo be looked down upon.
Because the news of Princess Wu'an's affair before marriage spread, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo became unmarriageable, and all the previously negotiated marriages were cancelled one by one.
After all, marry a virtuous wife and take a concubine who is beautiful.
A virtuous wife does not only have to behave in a dignified and virtuous manner, but also has to have a good reputation. A woman with a bad reputation will not only be unwanted, but will also bring shame to the daughters of the clan and bring disgrace to the entire family name.
In the Dongling Dynasty, there are two such women, one is Feng Qingchen, and the other is Princess Wu'an. Especially Princess Wu'an, she is now only famous for her beauty.
Now, whenever the nobles in the imperial city mention the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, they feel as if there is a cuckold hanging over them. Whoever marries her will definitely be cuckolded.
A family with a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families, but because of Feng Qingchen's words, the seven daughters who were waiting to be married and six underage daughters in the Zhenguo Mansion were all affected. Even the daughters from the side branches had their status greatly reduced. If it weren't for the old lady who withstood the pressure, they would have all been sent back to their hometown and found families outside to marry.
What does this mean? It means that the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion has lost dozens of opportunities for marriage.
You know, the wealthy and powerful families have the habit of intermarriage. Your family marries my daughter, and my daughter marries your family. In the end, all the families are related by marriage, and everyone will help when something goes wrong.
The aristocratic families have complicated connections, and the daughters of the family have to be pampered. After they grow up, they will be married off with a dowry to establish good relations between the two families.
But now, the Duke An's Mansion obviously does not have this advantage. It is not obvious in the past two years, but in a few decades, the weakness of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion will become apparent.
In this case, how could the people in the Zhenguo Mansion not be angry? If it weren't for the old lady's persuasion, the Zhenguo Duke would have sent someone to kill Feng Qingchen and chop her into pieces.
But even with the old lady's pressure, the people below still made various small moves. Of course, they did not dare to beat or kill Feng Qingchen. They just wanted to force Feng Qingchen to come to their house and apologize.
Unfortunately, although the plan was good, it has not yet been implemented.
If the hard approach doesn't work, the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is prepared to use the soft approach. It's good that you, Feng Qingchen, know how to find a backer, but it doesn't mean that your backer can help you with everything. The inner house is a woman's world. There are some things that even if you are the ninth uncle, you cannot interfere.
Moreover, because the Ninth Prince's status was too high, he could not interfere in some minor matters. Once he intervened, he would lose the dignity and honor of the royal family. The pride and honor of the royal family were not used to intervene in the affairs of a small person like Feng Qingchen...
Huchu, huchu...
Feng Qingchen was on horseback, rubbing her nose constantly, wondering in her heart, who was scolding her or plotting against her...
