302 Aftermath, whoever caused the trouble is responsible
As soon as he arrived at the Sun Mansion, Sun Zhengdao saw the appearance of Feng Qingchen and her group, and hurriedly settled them down, and led Feng Qingchen to the study, not giving her any chance to talk to Sun Sixing and Madam Sun.
Sun Zhengdao was not making a fuss, it was just that the sixteen guards around Feng Qingchen looked too scary, with bodies like tigers and eyes like wolves. One could tell at a glance that they had just killed someone, and they exuded a murderous aura that made people stay away from them.
Sun Zhengdao was worried that something might happen to Feng Qingchen, but when Sun Zhengdao asked what happened, he stroked his forehead and looked like he had a terrible headache.
He was wrong. Feng Qingchen would not suffer any loss. The ones who would suffer loss were those who were blind enough to offend her.
"Qingchen, why are you so frivolous? Do you know that killing someone in public is a capital crime? No one can protect you then.
You killed so many people in the street in one go, and you can't hide it. There's no way to resolve this matter peacefully. Can't you use other methods?
Even if it doesn't work, you can just kill one or two to deter others. Killing so many people will cause public outrage, and the emperor can't ignore it even if he wants to."
At the same time, there was a trace of relief and secret joy deep in his heart. As expected of a descendant of the Fengli clan, Feng Qingchen had the blood of the Fengli clan flowing in his body, and he still had the pride and dignity of the Fengli clan in his bones.
When faced with such a despicable plot, one should kill someone to warn the rest. If such a thing happened in the previous dynasty, it would not be resolved by simply killing a few hundred beggars.
When the emperor was angry, corpses were scattered all over the place; when Feng Li was angry, corpses were everywhere.
Anyone who challenges the authority of the Fengli clan will be killed without mercy!
The noble ladies of the Fengli clan should be high and mighty, and should be decisive in killing people, so as not to disgrace the word "Fengli". But now is not the previous dynasty, and the word "Fengli" not only cannot protect Feng Qingchen, but is instead her death-trigger.
"I didn't intend to hide anything, so what is there to hide?" Feng Qingchen didn't care. He sipped his tea comfortably, and his leisurely look made people jealous.
Sun Zhengdao didn't know whether he should be angry or happy.
This calmness and tolerance are not possessed by everyone, but...
Feng Qingchen's current identity is just the daughter of a loyal marquis.
"Qingchen, the emperor's birthday is coming soon. Seeing blood is a very unlucky thing. The emperor will definitely be dissatisfied." When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Feng Qingchen does not have the capital to be proud and arrogant now.
"If I'm dissatisfied, then I'm dissatisfied. I don't expect the emperor to let me go." If the emperor would let her go, he wouldn't allow the rumors to spread.
Do you really think she is an idiot? If there was no instruction from the emperor, how could the rumors about her and the Ninth Prince spread all over the city? Things are different now. In the past, she was powerless to face the rumors, and no one helped her to quell them, but now it is different...
With the presence of the eldest son, Zhai Dongming, and even the ninth uncle, it would be easy for them to quell such rumors.
"Do you have a plan to deal with it?" Sun Zhengdao looked at Feng Qingchen nervously.
Feng Qingchen did not answer, but looked at Sun Zhengdao meaningfully: "Are you worried about me getting into trouble?"
She didn't feel it at ordinary times, but once it came to her life and death, she found that Sun Zhengdao would be very serious.
Ahem…Sun Zhengdao turned his head away uncomfortably, a little embarrassed: “You are my son’s master, how can I not worry? If something happens to you, my son will suffer.”
“If you were really worried, you wouldn’t have let your son take me, a man with a very bad reputation, as his teacher.” From ancient times to the present, reputation has been extremely important to a person, and in this world where filial piety, righteousness, and benevolence rule the world, reputation is even more important.
For people with a good reputation, murder and arson can be understood, but for people with a bad reputation, no one will forgive them for anything they do wrong, and even if they do good things, they won’t be praised.
Also, people these days, no one wants to associate with someone with a bad reputation. For example, when Wang Jinling was studying abroad, people who wanted to meet him lined up from the beginning to the end of the street, but no woman was willing to be friends with a woman who was branded as "losing her virginity before marriage." Occasionally, there were only some women who wanted her help.
The reputation and prestige of the master are extremely important to the apprentice. If the master has a good reputation, the apprentice will be respected. If the master has a bad reputation, the apprentice will be despised.
If Sun Zhengdao really cared about these things, he would not have sent Sun Sixing to her as his apprentice. Her not saying anything does not mean that she does not know. Once some things are said, they will cause a lot of trouble.
"Back then, I asked Sixing to be your disciple because I valued your medical skills. I am not a person who sticks to worldly matters." What Sun Zhengdao said was true, but he still lacked confidence.
Feng Qingchen did not ask any more questions. Just when Sun Zhengdao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped danger, Feng Qingchen gave Sun Zhengdao a smile that said, "I know you are not telling the truth." Sun Zhengdao was so frightened that his heart was in turmoil.
Monster! This is a monster. I guess only someone as thoughtful as the Ninth Prince can subdue her.
Sun Zhengdao was wailing in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he asked again: "Qingchen, do you have any way to get out of this?"
Sun Zhengdao didn't care about those people who died, he only cared whether Feng Qingchen would get into trouble because of it. It was not worth it to die because of those people.
"A way to escape? What does that have to do with me? Since you have the ability to cause trouble, you must have the ability to clean up the mess. Those rioters who insulted the daughter of the powerful in the street deserve to die. I will kill them." If the privilege is not used, it will expire.
"Didn't you create this mess?" Feng Qingchen was the only one in Dongling who could be so righteous after killing someone.
Feng Qingchen glared at Sun Zhengdao unhappily. It was a casual look, but it made Sun Zhengdao feel an invisible pressure rushing towards him.
"The one who caused the trouble was Uncle Nine, not me. Don't worry, if Uncle Nine can't even do such a small thing, he is not Uncle Nine."
"Are you so sure that the Ninth Prince will take action?" Sun Zhengdao didn't understand where Feng Qingchen got his confidence from. Didn't she know that the imperial family was the most ruthless? It would be crazy to talk about feelings with people in the imperial family.
In the face of power, even biological fathers and sons can kill each other, so what does she, an outsider, count for?
"Since it concerns his reputation, of course he will." It seemed that she was the one who killed someone, but in fact it caused a competition among the top leaders. If she was convicted for this matter, it would mean that the Ninth Prince had lost.
Sun Zhengdao suddenly realized, and his tense face finally relaxed. "You are right. This concerns the Ninth Prince's reputation. He will not use you as a scapegoat. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to lose your life for a few rioters."
"Don't worry, I cherish my life. I am the only one in the Feng family. If I die, the Feng family will be gone." Feng Qingchen has always longed to have a home. She had been wandering in her previous life, and now she finally has a home in this life. How could she bear to leave it behind?
Sun Zhengdao's eyes turned red, and he nodded repeatedly: "You are right, the entire Feng family only has one person left, you must not get into any trouble, if you die, the bloodline of the Feng family will be cut off."
How glorious was the Fengli clan in the past. Not to mention the collateral bloodline, there were thousands of direct bloodline members alone. But what about today?
There is only this one orphan girl left in the huge Fengli clan.
Whenever he thought of this, Sun Zhengdao's heart was filled with grief.
When will the Fengli clan be able to walk openly in the sun...
When will the Fengli clan be able to regain its former glory...
