Seeing the other party's cautious appearance, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but curl a disdainful sneer on his lips, and then said, "You should worry more about yourself and keep a good eye on your servants! If I find that your servants are disrespecting His Highness again, don't blame me for punishing both master and servant!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xia panicked. She knew that Feng Beichuan was not joking. So she immediately bowed to him with trepidation and said, "Your Highness is right. I will definitely discipline my subordinates properly."
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan nodded in satisfaction, and then slowly added, "There's one more thing you should all understand: you have absolutely no right to interfere in Her Highness the Princess's private affairs. If anyone is going to interfere, it's me who will do it!"
After saying that, Feng Beichuan even reached out and put his arm around Li Chang'an's waist as if they were old friends.
Faced with the other party's sudden action, Li Chang'an froze for a moment, and then subconsciously tried to push Feng Beichuan away, but to his surprise, the other party not only did not let go, but actually hugged him even tighter.
Immediately, Li Chang'an frowned, then looked up at the man beside him. He saw that the man was also looking at him with a smile in his eyes, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he was doing, and completely ignoring the woman's angry expression.
"Did you all hear what I just said clearly?"
Immediately afterwards, Feng Beichuan raised an eyebrow and scanned all the respectful people in front of him, his dark eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
Seeing that no one spoke, Feng Beichuan frowned slightly, then asked in return, "What, are you all deaf?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
As the highest-ranking person among them, Qin Xia was naturally the first to step forward, answering in a trembling voice filled with fear, "Yes, Your Highness, I will obey your orders..."
"I will obey Your Highness's orders."
As soon as Qin Xiashi finished speaking, everyone else bowed and responded respectfully.
Feng Beichuan was very satisfied with the attitude of these people, so he did not make things difficult for Li Chang'an any further. Instead, he affectionately put his arm around Li Chang'an's waist and said, "Come on, Chang'an, let's talk further."
So he ignored those people and headed straight for Li Chang'an's courtyard.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Qin Xia dared to raise her eyes and secretly observe the situation. Only after confirming that the two people had gone far away did she stand up angrily. Then, she told the others to get up as well, her face turning extremely ugly.
Her eyes always held a sinister light, like a venomous snake waiting for its prey, making her look particularly sinister and terrifying.
This time, despite all her calculations, she never expected Feng Beichuan to suddenly appear and interfere.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Qin Xia now hates Li Chang'an to the core. She has used so many methods on her, but she has failed repeatedly and has not gained any benefit from them.
Not only that, but now that woman is constantly dominating him, she's even seducing the Regent, and the two of them are slapping him in the face together.
The more Qin Xia thought about it, the angrier she became, completely forgetting that Qin Yubao was still by her side.
Although Qin Yubao was only three or four years old, he was already able to keenly perceive the emotions on the faces of adults.
Looking at Qin Xia's extremely gloomy face, Qin Yubao felt that he had never been so afraid before, because he had never seen his mother like this before.
Thinking back to their argument with Li Chang'an, Qin Yubao couldn't help but timidly ask, "Mother, do you really dislike your sister-in-law?"
The answer is definitely yes.
Qin Xiashi not only disliked Li Chang'an, but could be described as utterly disgusted by him.
However, because she couldn't be too direct in front of the child, Qin Xia didn't answer Qin Yubao's question, but remained silent with a gloomy face.
Seeing the obvious displeasure on Qin Xia's face, Qin Yubao lowered his head and dared not utter a sound.
These adults may never realize how much impact their unintentional actions or glances can have on a child's mind.
Xing'er, always quick-witted, immediately picked up Qin Yubao upon seeing this, then patted the child's back with a smile and said softly, "Brother Bao, it's alright. Mother is just feeling a little unwell. How about I take you to the wet nurse to play later?"
Although Qin Yubao couldn't understand why Qin Xia, who had been perfectly normal just moments before, would suddenly feel unwell, he still obediently nodded.
Seeing how sensible the child was, Xing'er smiled at her again, then gave the wet nurse a wink, and the wet nurse took Qin Yubao and left first.
After seeing Qin Yubao off, Xing'er said meaningfully to Qin Xia, "It's windy outside, let's go back inside quickly."
After saying that, she helped Qin Xia Shi walk into the courtyard.
As expected, after the two entered the room, Madam Qin Xia could no longer hold back and immediately threw a tantrum, smashing a teacup.
A crisp sound rang out, followed by a floor littered with shards of porcelain.
Xing'er watched her mistress's furious expression but did not go to stop her. Instead, she silently waited for Qin Xia to vent her anger before helping her to sit down. Then she poured a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to her.
Because Qin Xia was still angry, she neither uttered a word nor reached out to take the tea, and her face remained gloomy and unpleasant.
Seeing this, Xing'er immediately spoke in a gentle tone, "Madam, we may be angry, but once we've vented, it'll be over. Why don't you have a cup of tea to calm down? Otherwise, it could harm your health..."
Speaking of which, Xing'er truly deserves to be Qin Xia's most capable maid; she hit the nail on the head with just a few words.
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin Xia immediately took the teacup from her hand and drank it all in one gulp. Then, she patted her chest and said, "I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I've never seen such a shameless person. She does such a despicable thing and yet she's so self-righteous! How can she face the old general and the young general in the afterlife?"
