Seeing the group of people who suddenly appeared, Feng Ling'er was both confused and angry. These people were all here to help Feng Qingxue, and she couldn't afford to offend any of them!
Why is God so unfair? She thought she could fight for it, but in the end she didn't even have a chance. Jealousy kept spreading in her heart!
"Aren't you going to get lost?"
Feng Qingxue said sternly.
Feng Ling'er and Feng Yinchuan scrambled to pick up Ding Ruyu and left, while the crowd watched their retreating figures with disdain.
The surrounding noise gradually grew louder, and everyone's eyes were filled with surprise. It was obvious to everyone that these people had come to help Feng Qingxue. Those who had just spoken ill of Feng Qingxue immediately dared not make a sound and could only silently reduce their presence.
Feng Che and the others stepped forward and clasped their hands in a fist salute.
"Old Master Feng, Madam Feng."
"Feng Che, it's you! It's been years since we last met." Feng Xingzhou stepped forward and patted Feng Che on the shoulder, but his gaze fell on the people behind him.
"yes."
"Lord of Rain, Lord of Painting Glass, Miss Ji, I have long admired you!"
This girl in red must be Ji Jiuying, the one whose name has been the talk of the Heavenly Realm. However, the woman in black beside her is somewhat unfamiliar, and there's a faint, lingering demonic aura about her…
The group cupped their hands in greeting, which was considered a formality.
"And who is this?" Feng Xingzhou's gaze fell on Qingling.
"This is my younger sister, her name is Qingling."
"Light and graceful?" That name sounds familiar, but they couldn't quite place it, so they stopped thinking about it and simply nodded to each other in greeting.
"Thank you all for your help earlier."
"You're too kind, Mr. Feng."
"Sister Wind, Madam Wind."
Ji Jiuying stepped forward and greeted her. Feng Qingxue looked at her mother and said, "Mother, she is the Xiao Jiu I mentioned to you before."
“I know, now, there’s probably no one in Tianyu who doesn’t know Ji Jiuying.”
Li Ruolan added, "Qingxue is able to stand here thanks to your help, girl. Tomorrow is the day Xue'er will inherit the family headship. Why don't you stay at the Feng family for the night?"
Feng Qingxue glanced at Ji Jiuying, then looked at Feng Che, who was chatting and laughing with Feng Xingzhou, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
"Sure, then I'll trouble Madam Feng and Sister Feng."
Ji Jiuying responded, realizing that Sister Feng really liked her uncle. However, she always felt that the two of them had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what had changed. But as long as things were moving in a positive direction, that was fine.
"No trouble at all!"
A hint of joy flashed in Feng Qingxue's eyes.
"By the way, Little Jiu, what are you doing here?"
"Of course, it's because of my second uncle—"
Ji Jiuying smiled faintly, while Feng Qingxue blushed slightly. Li Ruolan listened to their conversation with a puzzled look.
"You've come from afar, you must not have had dinner yet, why don't we go inside first!"
Feng Xingzhou laughed.
"good."
A group of people went inside, and the people outside gradually dispersed.
After dinner, they chatted for a while before going about their own business. Tomorrow was the day Feng Qingxue would inherit the family headship, and many things needed to be prepared in advance.
In the courtyard.
Feng Qingxue stared at the red dress before her, motionless, then sighed softly. After that day, both of them had important things to do, and they left in a hurry without saying anything. She didn't know what Feng Che was thinking, and she was too embarrassed to ask.
Tomorrow she will inherit the position of head of the family. According to custom, her mother is required to personally wash and dress her. How is she going to explain that matter to her mother...?
To be honest, if Ruo Niang knew that an unmarried woman like herself had indulged in premarital sex, even if it was against her will... she would probably be disappointed in her.
"Xue'er?"
As if on cue, Li Ruolan's voice came from outside the door. Feng Qingxue snapped out of her daze and quickly went to greet her: "Mother, are you done with your work?"
Li Ruolan responded and pulled her to sit down together.
"Xue'er, do you have someone you like?"
A flicker of panic crossed Feng Qingxue's eyes: "Why did Mother suddenly ask that?"
"Is that Feng Che?"
Feng Qingxue suddenly raised her head, which further confirmed Li Ruolan's guess. She smiled and said, "Xue'er, you are my daughter. How could I not know what you are thinking?"
"Mother, you...you don't object?"
Feng Qingxue looked at Li Ruolan in surprise.
"It's your freedom to like whomever you want, I won't object. Besides, Feng Che is a good person and comes from a good family. It's just that, Xue'er, he didn't seem to have any feelings for you today..."
Li Ruolan sighed softly. Xue'er was stubborn, and if she really liked someone, it would be hard to change her mind. She was afraid that all of this was just wishful thinking on her part, and that she would only suffer in the end.
Feng Qingxue bit her lip, her eyes darting around. Since her mother would find out sooner or later, she might as well tell her now and maybe she could avoid being scolded.
"Mother, actually...actually I..."
"What's wrong?"
Li Ruolan looked at Feng Qingxue with a puzzled expression.
"Mother, actually, Feng Che and I... Feng Che and I... have already consummated our marriage... I..."
"What!"
Li Ruolan stood up abruptly, staring at Feng Qingxue in disbelief.
Seeing her mother's expression, Feng Qingxue panicked and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Mother, I'm sorry, I have let you down. Hit me, scold me!"
At this moment, Li Ruolan came to her senses and recalled what Feng Ling'er had said when she made a scene at the gate, even going so far as to use her to threaten Xue'er. There must be something she didn't know about this. Moreover, as Xue'er's mother, she knew her best. Even if that person was someone she liked, she would never do such a thing.
Li Ruolan sighed softly and pulled her up: "Xue'er, I won't hit you or scold you. I know you're not the kind of person who doesn't know your own strength. There must be a reason for this, right?"
Feng Qingxue nodded, her eyes slightly red, and told them about being drugged. The recording stone she showed them a few days ago didn't show Feng Ling'er drugging her, but it clearly showed her feeding her that cup of tea. Coupled with Feng Ling'er's aggressive behavior today, it was easy to guess who had drugged her.
Upon hearing Feng Qingxue's words, Li Ruolan was furious and slammed her hand hard on the table.
"You little bastard Feng Ling'er, with such a vicious mind at such a young age! I will never let her get away with this!"
A fierce glint flashed in Li Ruolan's eyes. Then, as if remembering something, she looked at Feng Qingxue and asked in confusion, "Wait, you're also an alchemist, how come you don't have the antidote?"
“Mother, I was drugged with the Dream of Fleeting Life. It’s different from other aphrodisiacs. This drug… this drug has no cure. If I don’t… don’t… I will die.”
As she spoke, Feng Qingxue slowly lowered her head, her face flushing slightly.
