480 The Master's Order Cannot Be Disobeyed, You Are Harming Yourself

After Sun Zhengdao and his wife left, Sun Sixing was the only master left in the entire Sun Mansion. The mansion seemed particularly deserted, and the thin Sun Sixing made people feel particularly pity for him.

Feng Qingchen and Sun Sixing looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes. Sun Zhengdao and his wife disappeared suddenly, and something must have happened to them. But they knew nothing except the letter left by Sun Zhengdao, and that letter could not comfort them at all.

"Sixing, I'm worried about you living here alone. Come back with me to the courtyard in the west area. After the competition between Su Wan and I is over, we will go to find Lord Sun together." Feng Qingchen didn't know what had happened to Sun Zhengdao, but he instinctively thought that the Sun Mansion was not safe.

Sun Sixing shook his head: "This is my home."

"I know, but Lord Sun and Madam Sun are not here, and you being here alone will be heartbroken." If Feng Qingchen had not been worried about Sun Sixing's safety, she would not have persuaded Sun Sixing to leave.

For example, although the Feng Mansion was dilapidated, she never wanted to leave, because the Feng Mansion was her home, and a child without parents would be more homesick.

Sun Sixing still shook his head. Feng Qingchen had no choice but to act like a master: "Sixing, you can't disobey the master's order. Letting you live with me is the will of your parents and the master."

Once a teacher, always a father. The status of a teacher was much higher in ancient times than it is today.

Sure enough, Sun Sixing said no more. Even if he didn't want to, he couldn't go against the words of his parents' master. Sun Sixing packed up a little and went to the west courtyard with Feng Qingchen.

The news that Sun Sixing had moved into Feng Qingchen's courtyard in the west district also reached everyone's ears on the same day.

"Feng Qingchen is a really dedicated master. She should also be more dedicated." The Ninth Prince was relieved that Feng Qingchen was his and would not be able to run away.

"What does Feng Qingchen want to do? Even if they have a master-disciple relationship, she is younger than Sun Sixing. Isn't she afraid of rumors? Does she think she doesn't have enough problems?" Dong Ling Ziluo was so angry that he smashed a set of purple clay tea sets.

Feng Qingchen did not appreciate his kindness, did not let him get close, and was extremely wary of him. Suddenly, a man named Sun Sixing appeared and was allowed to live in Feng Qingchen's house. Of course, he was angry.

The seventh prince is not even as good as the son of an imperial physician.

As for the others, they didn't take Sun Sixing seriously at all. Only Imperial Noble Concubine Xie was surprised. Sun Sixing moved to Feng Qingchen's home, which meant that Imperial Physician Sun would never return to Beijing again. She would have no use for the trusted imperial physician she had finally received.

Imperial Concubine Xie stroked her slightly bulging belly, without a trace of tenderness in her eyes: "Go, ask the Xie family to send the information to Feng Qingchen."

"Yes." The palace maid was Noble Consort Xie's confidant, and she took action immediately without asking any questions.

So, just as Feng Qingchen had made arrangements for Sun Sixing, Xie San and Wang Qi came to visit. The reason why Wang Qi came was because Xie San asked him to keep him company. He was afraid that after the serious business was over, Feng Qingchen would rush him away. With Wang Qi around, maybe he could even get a free meal.

"Third Young Master, Seventh Young Master, long time no see." Feng Qingchen came out to greet them with a smile on her face. She had been busy dealing with the competition and meeting the Ninth Prince recently, and she had no private space at all. To be honest, she hadn't seen Wang Qi and Xie San for a long time.

"You haven't seen us for a long time, but we see you every day. All the people in the imperial city talk about in the past half month is you." Wang Qi's words were a bit harsh. Although there was a smile between his eyebrows, his eyes were not very friendly.

Feng Qingchen secretly groaned in her heart. Has she done anything to offend the Wang family again recently?

"Jinhan, I can't help myself. By the way, is there any news about Jinling recently?" Feng Qingchen quickly changed the subject, but Wang Jinqi didn't let her go: "Qingchen, you can use other methods for many things, but you always choose the most high-profile method. My eldest brother... He is fine now. He doesn't know the rumors between you and the Ninth Uncle. It won't be good when he finds out. The person you hold in your hands was hurt by another person."

The rumor was like a thorn in the side. Wang Qi felt uncomfortable just hearing it, not to mention his elder brother. Wang Qi did not dare to tell Wang Jinling about the rumor.

His elder brother hurriedly took over the Wang family for Feng Qingchen, and it was for Feng Qingchen that he refused to marry and insisted on going to Qingshui Town to accept the test of the family. But Feng Qingchen knew nothing about it. She was content to enjoy his elder brother's kindness to her.

"Jinhan, Jinling and I are just friends." Feng Qingchen said sullenly. She and Wang Jinling both understood this. They were destined to be only friends in this life.

"Friends? What about you and the Ninth Uncle? In fact, the Ninth Uncle's status is more noble than my eldest brother. Qingchen, I really don't understand you. Except for the position of a legal wife, there is nothing my eldest brother can't give you, but what about the Ninth Uncle? What can he give you? He has ruined your reputation so much, but he can't even take responsibility." Wang Qi was really disappointed. His eldest brother treated Feng Qingchen with all his heart, but Feng Qingchen didn't appreciate it and even let the Ninth Uncle humiliate her. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for his eldest brother.

"Jinhan, are you here to attack me today?" A hint of hurt flashed across Feng Qingchen's eyes, but quickly disappeared.

Wang Qi's words were not excessive. When the Ninth Prince spread such rumors, she would definitely be questioned and insulted by the world.

"Qingchen, I have no intention of attacking you. I just hope you can wake up a little. You can't be involved with the Ninth Prince anymore. If that happens, you will be the only one who will be ruined. The Ninth Prince is a man. At most, he will have a reputation of being romantic but not vulgar." Wang Qi wanted to scold Feng Qingchen, but what was his position?

Feng Qingchen took a deep breath. She knew she shouldn't do this, but...

When love is deep, you can't help yourself.

When the Ninth Prince gave her the dress in the palace, she accepted the Ninth Prince's calamity and could not escape it in this life.

"Jinhan, if you came here today to teach me a lesson, then stop here. I know what I am doing." Feng Qingchen smiled calmly, and the light in his eyes was still as bright, clear, and calm as when Wang Qi first saw them.

"Do you really know what you are doing?" Wang Qi just wanted to slap the smile off Feng Qingchen's lips. She could still laugh at this time. Did she really know the consequences?

Facing Wang Qi's anger, Feng Qingchen remained calm.

She really knew what she was doing and knew it was wrong, but she had already done it and she didn't regret it.

Our eyes met, no words spoken...

Seeing that the two were full of hostility, Xie San immediately stepped forward to smooth things over: "Qingchen, don't think too much. I was the one who dragged Wang Qi here. I was entrusted by the Imperial Concubine today."

"Imperial Concubine? What is that?" Feng Qingchen avoided Wang Qi's gaze.

Xie San handed a small wooden box sealed with wax to Feng Qingchen: "The Imperial Concubine said that you will know when you open it. The things have been delivered. Wang Qi and I will leave first. Qingchen, you must win the competition with Su Wan. Wang Qi and I bet on you to win."

Xie San was extremely depressed, and he asked Wang Qi to come to Feng Qingchen in order to get a free meal, but he didn't expect that Wang Qi was like a man of fire, targeting Feng Qingchen everywhere. Not to mention eating, he couldn't even have tea.

The two of them sat there for less than a quarter of an hour before leaving Feng Mansion.

As soon as Xie San and Wang Qi left, Feng Qingchen slid down from the chair holding the wooden box, hugged herself tightly with both hands, and cried silently.

Jinhan, I know what I am doing, I really know, and I also know what consequences I will face.

Not to mention the ancient times when ethics and morals were strict, even in modern times, if news of an unmarried woman living with a powerful man came out, the only one who would be hurt would be the woman.

No matter when, people always have higher expectations for women. In this kind of situation, men can justify all the mistakes with a word of being frivolous, but women will ruin their lives because of it...
