Chapter 124 - 124 126 Kissed Under the Broad Daylight
Chapter 124: Chapter 126: Kissed Under the Broad Daylight Chapter 124: Chapter 126: Kissed Under the Broad Daylight The voice halted abruptly, sounding somewhat familiar.
“It’s Mother’s voice.”
Feng Zhanlian and Feng Zhan Tian, the brothers, exchanged glances, their faces drastically changing.
In the crowd, Lady Nan Feng’s eyes flickered with scheming.
Both the old and the young must have already died.
“It’s the Princess’ Mansion, my mother has indeed been captured by them, Mother!”
Feng Zhanlian’s eyes were bloodshot with fury, he paid no heed to the others, and rushed towards the entrance of the Princess’ Mansion.
“One by one, rubbish creatures, frightened by the solar eclipse, letting any tom, dick, or harry invade, send them all to forced labor.”
In front of the Princess’ Mansion, the soldiers were flush with shame.
It was their first time witnessing a solar eclipse, they lost their composure, unable to lift their heads after being scolded by Feng Wan.
Seeing Feng Zhanlian charge over, one of the guards kicked Feng Zhanlian down to the ground with a foot.
“Blind fool, do you think you can just barge into the Princess’ Mansion?”
Two other guards grabbed Feng Zhan Tian from each side, pinning his corpulent body to the ground and casually slapped him several times.
“Stop! Crown Princess Consort, Ninth Prince, please save my grandmother, the Princess’ Mansion is using their power to bully, please stand up for Feng Mansion.”
Feng Xiangxue and Feng Ruoyan, the sisters, also came out upon hearing the noise.
Seeing their father beaten into such a state, both were terrified and turned pale.
Feng Xiangxue was after all more resolute, she started to sob and moved forward to kneel.
“Xiangxue sister, no need for such formalities, very soon we will be family. Don’t worry, your Ninth Brother will stand up for Feng Mansion.”
Nalan Yan’er’s beautiful eyes slightly shifted, subtly scrutinizing the Old National Master beside her.
It really seemed like Heaven itself wanted to help them, Feng Bailing indeed acted recklessly and even dared to oppress her own grandmother.
The Old National Master despised those who lacked loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, if Old Madam Feng really met with misfortune today, he would certainly despise Feng Bailing and her daughters.
Given Emperor Yongye’s respect for the Old National Master, the Princess’ Mansion would have no chance for redemption, even her marriage arrangements could collapse.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiangxue quickly helped Feng Zhanlian up, softly whispering.
“Father, don’t worry, Ninth Brother will stand up for us.”
“Thank you, Ninth Prince…”
Feng Zhanlian was about to express his gratitude, but Dongfang Mosheng simply walked past him, approaching the guards.
“Guard brother, please report to Princess Yong’an and Princess Shengping that the State Preceptor, Crown Princess Consort, and Dongfang Mosheng are here to visit.”
Before the guards could respond, a person came out from inside.
“My Lord Prince has heard of the honorable guests’ arrival, I, Feng Wan, have been awaiting you for a long time, please come inside.”
Upon seeing Feng Wan, Nalan Yan’er couldn’t help but tense up.
Ah Wu was here too.
It was early in the morning, why was he here?
Nalan Yan’er felt extremely conflicted.
“I ask you, did you take away my mother?”
Upon seeing Feng Wan, Feng Zhanlian angrily questioned.
“Are you speaking of that old woman who poisoned people? She tried to poison Miss, and our guard dogs have already mauled her to death. If you want to reclaim the body, do it quickly, or else the body will be thrown into the burial ground.”
Feng Wan said with a cold laugh.
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhanlian and Feng Zhan Tian almost fainted.
Lady Nan Feng was also secretly alarmed, she did not expect Dugu Wu to be also in the Princess’ Mansion.
So you’re saying that the little bastard didn’t die?
Lady Nan Feng couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed.
She originally wanted to kill Feng Xiaoli, then frame Feng Bailing, causing Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu to fall out. By then, she wouldn’t need to act herself; Dugu Wu would have taken care of those three from the Princess’ Mansion.
Unfortunately, the plan failed.
But, what can be avoided once, can’t be avoided a second time.
Lady Nan Feng thought to herself.
“State Preceptor, Crown Princess Consort, Ninth Prince, please stand up for us.”
Feng Family wailed together.
“Let’s go into the mansion and see.”
Old National Master waved his hand, with Feng Wan leading the way.
“Ninth Prince, please, let us in. We need to vindicate my grandmother.”
Feng Xiangxue cried with swollen eyes, but sadly her appearance, invisible to Dongfang Mosheng, was of no use to him.
He remained noncommittal, while the people from Feng Mansion hurriedly followed.
As they walked, although the day was still a bit gloomy due to the Solar Eclipse, the scenery inside the Princess’ Mansion was still clearly visible.
Every mountain, every stone, every garden, every house showed delicacy and luxury; a few people from Feng Mansion looked on, feeling envious, jealous, and resentful.
All this should have been enjoyed by the Feng Mansion.
After a long walk, everyone saw two guards carrying a corpse walking towards them.
People from Feng Mansion cried their hearts out, surrounding the two guards and demanding an explanation from the Princess’ Mansion.
Old National Master, with his keen eyesight, immediately recognized the marks as those from wild animals, though not from dogs.
“How cruel.”
Nalan Yan’er turned her head slightly, unable to bear looking at the old lady’s dead body.
“Indeed very cruel. A strong and healthy village elderly woman deceived a naive little girl with poisoned pastries. If it hadn’t been discovered early, the corpse you’d see now would be our Miss Xiaojin.”
Feng Wan glanced sideways at Nalan Yan’er. He had thought that the Crown Princess Consort was both beautiful and clever, but today, perhaps because of the Solar Eclipse, he felt she was somewhat hypocritical?
“Prince and Princess Feng are just ahead, let us…”
Feng Wan led a few people around a long corridor, saying that when outside guests arrive, they should be brought in; Feng Wan paused, almost in disbelief.
People behind also froze suddenly.
Not far away, Dugu Wu was embracing Feng Bailing, and the two were kissing passionately!
Just a quarter of an hour earlier, Feng Bailing was teasing Dugu Wu.
The sky was gradually clearing as the total solar eclipse passed.
A tender look mixed with slight embarrassment flashed through Dugu Wu’s heterochromic eyes.
“Shut up.”
He must have been out of his mind at that moment to hold onto this woman. When she gently stroked his head, could he actually feel her tenderness?
“Are you getting angry? You’d better be polite to me, or else I will tell Xiaojin and Xiaoli that the father they admire is a coward.”
Feng Bailing certainly wouldn’t miss this good opportunity to tease him when she saw Dugu Wu’s embarrassed expression.
Dugu Wu grabbed her hand and pulled Feng Bailing into his embrace.
“If you don’t shut up, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“I want to say…”
Her chin was lifted suddenly, just as a breeze blew, lifting a corner of her scarf.
What do you think?
