535 Threats, what can you do to me?
Cui Haoting felt a little sympathy for his third brother. If he hurt Feng Qingchen, he would be in trouble. Outsiders saw that the young master of the Cui family was high and mighty, but only the young master of the Cui family himself understood the truth.
It's not easy to be a son of the Cui family. The sons of the Cui family are noble and unparalleled, but that is in the eyes of outsiders. In the Cui family, there are many sons of the Cui family. Once you go out, the Cui family will no longer care about your life or death. Life and death depends on your own ability.
Surviving is your ability. You can gain recognition from the family and get more resources and help from the family.
If you die, it means you are incompetent. The family will not rescue you, but will avenge you after your death and tell the world that the Cui family is not easy to bully and that their strength is unfathomable.
The Cui family has many children who have received elite education since childhood, and many of them are outstanding. Losing one or two is nothing to the Cui family. Even he, the so-called most honorable sixteenth son of the Cui family, could be abandoned by the family at any time...
Cui Haoting looked at Feng Qingchen with burning eyes. He admired Feng Qingchen very much, admired her perseverance and strength. It was a pity that such an outstanding woman was already taken, otherwise he would definitely marry Feng Qingchen and make her the daughter-in-law of the Cui family.
A woman like Feng Qingchen is very suitable for surviving in a large family full of intrigues and murderous intentions. Only a woman like this can survive all kinds of calculations and hidden arrows, and even seize power...
The knife in Feng Qingchen's hand was never released from beginning to end, and it was always against his chest. City Lord Ye was so anxious, and was about to promise Feng Qingchen that as long as Feng Qingchen put down the knife and agreed to treat Ye Ye, he would agree to any conditions. However, Su Wan secretly pulled City Lord Ye's sleeve and reminded him: Ninth Uncle!
Lord Ye's eyes lit up.
Yes, how could he forget that the Ninth Imperial Uncle was here? The Ninth Imperial Uncle was more concerned about Feng Qingchen's safety than he was. City Lord Ye quickly calmed down and said, "Ninth Imperial Uncle, Miss Feng used a knife to hurt herself. If she is not careful, she may lose her life. Aren't you worried, Ninth Imperial Uncle?"
The countermeasure is good, but unfortunately City Lord Ye doesn't know the Ninth Uncle well enough. The Ninth Uncle is essentially a ruthless person. If his own serious injury results in the death of his opponent, he will attack himself without hesitation.
Besides, although he was worried about Feng Qingchen, he believed in Feng Qingchen and would never ruin Feng Qingchen's plan.
"City Lord Ye, I believe in Qingchen. She knows her limits. Besides, she will be punished for disobeying my order. This knife should be her lesson for disobeying my order. Qingchen, if you are going to stab her, stab her harder." The Ninth Prince was not worried at all. Instead, he gave her a reminder.
"Qingchen understands." Feng Qingchen responded readily.
Zhai Dongming opened his eyes wide and looked at the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen. He really couldn't figure out what these two people were up to.
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen are a pair of lunatics, no wonder they can get together.
City Lord Ye was so angry that he was about to jump up, and the angrier he was, the happier Feng Qingchen was.
As I said, whoever takes it seriously at this time will lose, and the more you show that you care, the more miserably you will lose.
City Lord Ye took a deep breath to calm his violently beating heart, and said dryly: "Uncle Nine, this city lord remembered it wrongly. Miss Feng did not disobey the emperor's order. It was this city lord who forgot to tell Miss Feng the emperor's order."
He had to retreat at this step.
“Everything would have been fine if City Lord Ye had said it earlier. Young Master Sixteen, Young Master Yun, if you two heard what Ye Cheng said, and if Ye Cheng goes back on his word, you two must testify for Qingchen.” Ever since the Ninth Prince came, Cui Haoting and Yun Xiao have acted like outsiders. Otherwise, City Lord Ye would not have been so arrogant.
If you want to be an outsider, you shouldn't step into this door. Feng Qingchen is very malicious and drags people down.
"Of course." Yun Xiao and Cui Haoting responded with a smile.
It’s not that they don’t want to help, but there is no room for them to intervene.
"Qingchen would like to thank the two gentlemen in advance." Feng Qingchen put away the scalpel and bowed.
Pointing a knife at herself was really stupid. If Lord Ye hadn't threatened her, she would not have been willing to use such a bad trick. If she was not careful, she would kill a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of her own.
The face of City Lord Ye turned pale and blue, which was quite interesting.
He was really embarrassed today. He was the lord of a city, but he used such a despicable trick to intimidate a little girl. The key point was that he didn't succeed. If this matter got out, he would have no way to live as a human being.
"Miss Feng, now you know the emperor's order. If you are not seriously injured, please go to Jingqiu Garden. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. There is no time to waste." City Lord Ye said, almost pinching his nose.
He had to endure this anger today whether he wanted to or not.
No matter how much he planned, he didn't expect Feng Qingchen to be so cruel to him, nor did he expect the sixteenth son of the Cui family to be there, nor did he expect the Ninth Prince to come so soon. If these two people had not intervened, he would have been able to take Feng Qingchen away even if he had used force.
But...God also favors Feng Qingchen.
"When Miss Su Wan kneels down to apologize to Qingchen, Qingchen will set off." You can't eat too much fat in one bite. It's too difficult to ask Ye Ye to kneel down in front of City Lord Ye. Let's do it one by one.
Sooner or later, you will have to pay for your actions. Su Wan has knelt, so how could Ye Ye be far behind?
"Miss Feng, please don't go too far. Asking Su Wan to kneel down is too much to ask. The Nanling Su family is not some unknown small family. The Nanling Su family has produced a queen, a royal concubine, and a city lord's wife." City Lord Ye did not expect that Feng Qingchen would still insist on this point even at this point.
In front of the Cui family and the Yun family, he made Su Wan kneel down and asked her that question. Where would Ye Cheng and the Su family's face be? He couldn't afford to lose face like this.
"What does this have to do with me? The one who made the rude request to kneel down and apologize in public was Young Master Ye. Qingchen was just following suit. Of course, City Lord Ye will disagree, and Qingchen is no good either. Ninth Uncle, Qingchen is not feeling well, so I'll take my leave first." Feng Qingchen stood up and turned away without waiting for Ninth Uncle's consent.
"Sixing, entertain these guests for me." Look how well-behaved she is. She still remembers to be polite at this time.
"Yes, Master." The blush on Sun Sixing's face finally faded away, and he smiled foolishly.
"How arrogant! Fortunately, my father did not send anyone to propose marriage. If I marry a woman like this, I can't beat her or scold her, I can only pamper her." Yun Xiao secretly rejoiced, but he didn't know that the Yun family's marriage proposal team had already set off and was heading towards the Dongling Imperial City.
Feng Qingchen left arrogantly. The Ninth Prince did not blame Feng Qingchen for being arrogant, and no one else had the right to say anything. City Lord Ye was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but under the cold eyes of the Ninth Prince and the swords of the guards, he could do nothing.
Feng Qingchen walked without hesitation and reached the outside of the archway in an instant. He could reach the inner courtyard by turning a corner. At this moment, Su Wan suddenly stood up and called to Feng Qingchen, "Feng Qingchen, wait a moment."
Su Wan's whole body was tense and her eyes were determined, as if she had made some important decision.
"Miss Su Wan, is there anything I can do for you?" Feng Qingchen cooperated very well. He turned around gracefully and asked in a friendly manner.
Su Wan took a deep breath, and clenched her hands tighter in her sleeves: "Feng Qingchen, if I kneel down and apologize to you, my cousin will be fine."
She had to kneel. If Ye Ye died because of this, she would also be responsible. Even if City Lord Ye let her go, he would not help her in the future. She had been abandoned by the Su family and could not lose Ye Ye as a helper.
She accepted the humiliation Feng Qingchen had inflicted on her. There would be plenty of time in the future, and one day, she, Su Wan, would definitely get back at him double.
"You can say that." How could she not understand Su Wan's anger and resentment? This was the same as when she knelt in front of the Queen's palace and begged her to let her go.
Even though she was the one who harmed him, he had no choice but to kneel before her and beg for mercy, all just to save his life.
But even so, she couldn't sympathize with Su Wan. She was framed at the beginning, but Su Wan asked for it. Moreover, Su Wan didn't forget to plot against her until this moment. How insidious.
"Feng Qingchen, what do you mean by this? Isn't it enough that I kneel down for you? Do you want my cousin to kneel down for you too?" Su Wan is worthy of being Su Wan. In the face of huge humiliation, she can still calmly frame Feng Qingchen and increase hatred for Feng Qingchen.
"Miss Su Wan, you think too much. I said that after you kneel down and apologize to me on behalf of Young Master Ye, I will go to Jingqiu Garden to treat Young Master Ye. As for whether Young Master Ye can be cured, that's not sure. Qingchen is a doctor, not a god. I don't understand the situation of Young Master Ye's injury. Before I see Young Master Ye, I won't say anything that can definitely be cured." Feng Qingchen did not tell Su Wan that she was 70% sure after Ye Ye took the antidote given by the master of Xuanyi Valley.
Logically, Su Wan should have hesitated after hearing this. After all, her kneeling might not save Ye Ye. However, Su Wan was a scheming person. When she heard that Feng Qingchen was not sure whether he could cure Ye Ye, a cold calculation flashed in Su Wan's eyes. Without saying a word, she gritted her teeth and knelt down.
It was a good thing that Feng Qingchen saved Ye Ye. If he hadn’t, he would have been hunted down by Ye Cheng.
If Ye Ye died, City Lord Ye would not let Feng Qingchen go even if it meant death.
Boom...
Her knees landed heavily on the ground, and Su Wan knelt straight down in front of everyone.
What a scheming woman!
Except for City Lord Ye, everyone present understood the profound meaning of Su Wan's kneeling. The only remaining sympathy that Yun Xiao and Cui Haoting had for her also disappeared without a trace because of this kneeling.
Just by hearing the sound, Feng Qingchen knew that Su Wan's knee was seriously injured when she kneeled. This self-torture trick was really effective. Lord Yecheng and Ye Ye would inevitably feel sorry for Su Wan. No matter whether Ye Ye was alive or dead, Su Wan would be the benefactor of Yecheng and would endure humiliation for Ye Ye.
Su Wan held back her tears of humiliation, tried to ignore the people around her, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Feng Qingchen, I'm sorry, please save my cousin, please!"
She said her apology with murderous eyes, which showed how much resentment Su Wan had. But all this could not change the fact that she knelt down like Feng Qingchen!
