203 Method, Su Wan is here
The second wife's face turned pale and blue. Looking at Feng Qingchen's calm face, she felt that Feng Qingchen was laughing at her.
Thinking about how she had tried so hard to please an orphan girl, only to be humiliated like this, the second wife became angrier and angrier. She suppressed her anger and pointed at the door, saying, "Someone, show us away!"
Feng Qingchen didn't care. She took off the pearl hairpin from her hair, put it on the table, picked up the medicine box and walked out. She had never thought of making friends with the people in the Duke's Mansion. The Second Lady's temper was just what she wanted.
The people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion wanted to establish a memorial archway for their affair, but it also depended on whether she agreed.
As soon as Feng Qingchen left, the old lady knew that she and the second wife had parted on bad terms. The old lady was so angry that she fainted: "The second wife's stupid woman has no sense at all. Even if she has any dissatisfaction with Feng Qingchen, she should wait until this storm is over before saying it!"
Looking back at the plaque with the four big characters "Duke Zhenguo Mansion" inscribed on it, Feng Qingchen sneered.
The people of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion are indeed flexible. It is indeed not easy for the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to swallow her pride and negotiate peace with a junior like her. However, the lower the posture of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the more tricks there are.
She ruined Princess Wu'an and the daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion. The Zhenguo Mansion will not let her off so easily. This time she showed weakness only out of necessity. Once the people from the Zhenguo Mansion find the opportunity, they will definitely trample her to death.
Once an enemy, always an enemy. She doesn't believe in turning enemies into friends.
Feng Qingchen was about to get on the carriage when she saw Wang Qi riding a horse and running towards her in a hurry: "Feng Qingchen."
This person is really heartwarming. Feng Qingchen stood there, waiting for Wang Qi to arrive.
Wang Qi got off the horse, sweating profusely, completely lacking the noble and elegant demeanor of his usual gentleman.
"What happened?" Feng Qingchen asked worriedly.
"I should be the one asking you this. Are you okay? Did the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion give you any trouble?" Wang Qi looked indignant, as if he would rush in as long as Feng Qingchen nodded.
"What can happen to me?" Feng Qingchen took a clean handkerchief and handed it to Wang Qi.
"I'm glad you're okay. I was shocked when I heard from Zhou Xing that you came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion." Wang Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm just here to see a patient at the Zhenguo Mansion. Why are you all making such a fuss?" If the Zhenguo Mansion wanted to take action against her, they should have done it secretly. If she died in the Zhenguo Mansion, it would be the Zhenguo Mansion that would be in trouble.
"What are you making a fuss about? Feng Qingchen, you don't know how powerful that old hag in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is. She kills people without shedding blood." Wang Qi did not forget to put on a scary look to prove that he was not wrong.
"You are talking about the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, right?" Feng Qingchen and his group became serious. The old lady was indeed an important figure.
Before, she only paid attention to a few men in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but knew nothing about the women in the backyard. After what happened in the Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion, Feng Qingchen understood that women these days are quite powerful and should not be underestimated.
"What old lady? She's just a concubine who is not worthy of being promoted to the main wife. Such a thing would only happen in a messy family like the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. It's really shameful to let a concubine become the mistress of the house." Wang Qi said with disdain.
The actions of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were considered quite shameful in the eyes of the aristocratic families.
A man can be lustful and have many concubines, but he must never break the rules because of a woman.
Making a concubine the principal wife is something that would never be allowed in aristocratic families. A concubine is just a concubine, a plaything that cannot be shown in public.
"What's going on?" Feng Qingchen thought about the imposing old lady, secretly clicking his tongue in his heart, the mistress became the legal wife, how amazing.
Don't underestimate the mistress's promotion to the wife's principal wife. In ancient times, a mistress was a mistress and could not be included in the family tree. No matter how favored you were, as long as you were a concubine, you would be suppressed by the wife for the rest of your life and had to set rules in front of the wife every day. If you want to become the wife's principal wife, you'll have to start over in your next life.
"Let's talk in the car." Wang Qi pulled Feng Qingchen to sit in the carriage. After all, it was not very kind to gossip about other people's family affairs at your doorstep.
As soon as he got in the car, without waiting for Feng Qingchen to ask, Wang Qi started talking like pouring beans: "The old pious woman in the Zhenguogong Mansion is really a character. She was just a singing girl back then, and was sent by an official to honor the old Duke.
The old Duke doted on her for a while, but soon forgot about her. After all, no matter how beautiful a woman is, playing with her a few times is enough. But this woman was scheming and courageous. When the old Duke was about to forget her, she used many tricks to win the Duke's heart back. Although they were not alone, she still had some face.
Not long after, the old woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son, but he was a bastard, and no one took it seriously. But... not long after, something happened in the Duke's Mansion. Several young ladies and young men in the mansion died one after another for some unknown reason, and her own son also died.
In five years, six children died in the Duke's Mansion. In the sixth year, the eldest son who was appointed as the crown prince also died. The Duke's original wife also became seriously ill, and the old Duke could not find any problems no matter how hard he tried.
Finally they had no choice but to ask a monk for help. The monk said that the old Duke's original wife had a bad horoscope, which would bring bad luck to her sons and husband, while the old woman's horoscope was very good, which would bring good luck to her sons and husband.
There was obviously something fishy going on, but the old Duke was a fool. After hearing this, he sent his original wife to a temple to recuperate, and let the old hag take care of the household chores. But things were so strange. As soon as the original wife left, the Duke's mansion became quiet. The old hag gave birth to four sons in six years. She was truly a blessing to her husband and sons."
"The water in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is very deep." Feng Qingchen's scalp tingled when he heard this.
The old woman who was holding her hand and smiling at her with such kindness could actually attack her own son. Don't blame Feng Qingchen for thinking this way. According to what Wang Qi said, anyone would think this way.
Wang Qi looked at Feng Qingchen with fear and looked at her with contempt: "What's this? There are more exciting things to come. It is said that the original wife was pregnant when she was sent to the temple and gave birth to a son.
But the lady was afraid that someone would harm her son, so she kept waiting until the child was five years old before sending the news back. However, she didn’t expect that… right after the news was spread, the old Duke felt guilty and went up the mountain to see his wife, only to catch her having an affair with someone on the spot.”
"What? Adultery? Isn't this going to force the original wife and her son to death?" Feng Qingchen exclaimed. This move was too cruel.
Thinking about it this way, the man who designed to embarrass her on her wedding day was quite kind. At least he didn't really want her body. Otherwise, she would have been naked and would have had no reason to live.
"Don't make a fuss. There are many such things in the imperial city. You know about the affairs of Marquis Jinyang. Those women will do anything to get status." Wang Qi glanced at Feng Qingchen. When he was about to say that Feng Qingchen was surprised, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Feng Qingchen and Wang Qi asked at the same time.
It seems like every time the two of them ride in a carriage together, something happens...
Lifting up the small window on the side of the carriage, Feng Qingchen saw a ceremonial guard marching towards the imperial palace on the main street opposite, with a big word "Su" on the flag.
Feng Qingchen opened his mouth into an O shape.
Su?
