Chapter 254: Tigress
Last night they had already performed continuously for one night, and this time was exactly noon, the best time to dispel evil spirits!
After drinking that so-called holy water, Li Xi’er felt turmoil in her heart and had no mood to watch those performances anymore.
She was afraid that listening to the wizard shouting again would roar her back into Luo Zhi’er’s body!
She definitely did not want to go back right now, so she walked out.
Feng Qingcheng silently followed her out and walked side by side with her, while Bu Wei followed at a neither too close nor too far distance.
Li Xi’er felt a growing sense of unease, had he realized something? She pondered why he insisted on making her drink that.
“God of War Senior Brother, why did you insist on making me drink that holy water?”
“Don’t overthink it, this is the custom. You just woke up, Senior Brother is just worried!”
“Mm!”
Perhaps the chanting earlier made her head buzz, after not walking many steps without noticing the pedestrian in front, “Ouch!” With a cry, she collided with a woman wearing light yellow clothing.
Li Xi’er’s veiled hat was knocked off, she clutched her dizzy forehead from the collision, contrary to his cold appearance, the man was gentle and considerate, “Can, are you alright?”
“I’m fine!”
While Feng Qingcheng picked up the hat, Li Xi’er looked at that woman! “Young woman, are you alright?”
That woman turned around with eyes wide in anger, “What do you think?” Li Xi’er was attracted by her appearance! She was also shocked by her looks!
The young ladies of Feng Lan Kingdom had a unique flavor, unlike the weak ones of Dongli Kingdom, they had a healthy and wild charm!
Of course, the arrogance in her eyes was very obvious, that woman was also sizing her up, seeing her simple clothing, she was just an ordinary little commoner! That man was also wearing ordinary material clothing.
Originally in anger, her father actually agreed to let her share a husband with other women, she came out today specifically to relax and was bumped into, instantly feeling upset!
“Where did this wild girl come from, daring to bump into this young woman?”
Crucially, this girl was ordinary but dressed worse yet more beautiful than her!
Li Xi’er immediately became unhappy too, her eyes full of coldness, “Young woman, you backed up without reason and bumped into me first. I was originally thinking you didn’t do it on purpose, seeing that people of Feng Lan Kingdom are all polite in their dealings, so I was going to let it go as an adult not remembering a petty person’s faults. But since you disrespect me so much, you must apologize to me today!”
“What?”
That woman widened her watery eyes in disbelief looking at the fearless her in front of her.
“Do you know who I am?”
“Who are you? I’m not interested!” Li Xi’er dug in her ear.
People are the knife and chopping block, I am the fish and meat, she had no status, but the person behind her, she wanted to see if he would stand by!
Anyway, at this moment, he was stunned!
“You!!!”
“Insolent! Our young woman is the daughter of the Grand Marshal, the future mistress of God of War’s Mansion, why don’t you apologize to her?”
“Grand Marshal?”
“That’s her!”
Li Xi’er was also stunned, she said she was the future mistress of God of War’s Mansion?
“What are you saying, Chu Yao, this young woman doesn’t want her apology, afraid it would dirty this young woman’s ears, make her crawl between Chu Yao’s legs!”
“What?” A burst of incessant discussion arose nearby.
“Then, throw her into the latrine and drink a few mouthfuls of foul water to vent the anger!”
Sighs arose all around!
Passerby A: “God of War has an imposing appearance, character precious, how could he marry a woman of such conduct as a co-wife?”
Passerby B: “It’s her, no wonder! Who made her the daughter of the Grand Marshal?”
Passerby C: “Fortunately, there is another mistress who is Si Kingdom Princess, thank heavens, she is a woman who understands justice!”
Ding: “Sigh, hard to say!”
Anyway, God of War’s Mansion would have quite the spectacle to watch then, this one was surely a tigress!
Li Xi’er was still shocked by her words about being the mistress of God of War’s Mansion, he, he was getting married?
Enemies meet on a narrow road, and it’s this young woman? And another one? Being a man is really great, look at this great fortune with women.
Lifting her gaze to glance at the man beside her wearing the wolf fang mask, he stood motionless watching her, sadness in his eyes being swallowed by darkness.
Had to admit, even wearing a mask, one could tell he was an exceptional man, no wonder so many women rushed towards him.
“Nonsense, what are you all talking about? Our young woman is not like that!” The maid called Chu Yao quickly said.
She hurriedly pulled that young woman to the side, leaning close to whisper: “Young woman, with so many people today, don’t do this, you’re about to get married, if it reaches God of War’s ears it won’t be good!”
Although she didn’t like young woman’s arrogant domineering ways much either, she wanted to marry God of War!
She had long admired the rumored God of War, following young woman she could enter God of War’s Mansion, even as a dowry maid would be great!
She and young woman shared honor and disgrace, not yet entered the mansion and such rumors spread again, and there was another one.
“Chu Yao, then what do you say to do?”
“Like this, young woman…” Chu Yao leaned close and whispered a few words to her.
“Fine! Letting her off cheap!”
Grand Marshal’s daughter Wu Nianwei was born to his favorite woman Su Weiwei, unfortunately Su Weiwei passed away early, even after passing this girl was still the apple of Grand Marshal’s eye!
He was busy with official duties and had no time to teach her, the grannies in the manor all indulged her, by the time he saw she had become arrogant and domineering, a little tyrant!
Most importantly, when she acted coquettish he immediately softened, in Feng Lan Kingdom that was notorious, but he could still clean up after!
Nowadays, men of Feng Lan Kingdom hearing her name didn’t want to marry her, Grand Marshal hadn’t even thought of marrying her off!
So, she grew up free and unrestrained, arrogant was arrogant, better than being bullied!
Unfortunately, His Majesty’s decree!
For what purpose His Majesty had, he couldn’t figure it out, his daughter’s reputation for being arrogant and domineering was known throughout the city, no matter how one thought she wouldn’t marry the majestic God of War?
Fortunately, that Feng Qingcheng had poor health, wait for him to die then take daughter back, with his wealth raising her well for life wasn’t hard.
He didn’t know, his great power also brought threat to Emperor Feng Jing, though he as Grand Marshal was loyal to the country.
Under Emperor Feng Jing’s arrangement, these two ministers with great power conspiring was normal, then easy to grasp their handles.
For example, fabricate a charge of rebellion for the two! Impossible to wash clean, though he knew Feng Qingcheng was loyal to him!
Grand Marshal was also shrewd, but Emperor Feng Jing’s performance of deep brotherly bond with God of War had sunk into people’s hearts too much, moreover who in Feng Lan Kingdom didn’t know God of War’s health was poor?
No one suspected Emperor Feng Jing’s intentions!
Furthermore, he Emperor Feng Jing wanted to ruin Feng Qingcheng’s reputation and prestige, think of it, imposing God of War’s Mansion even the madam was of such conduct, then if more big troubles arise, who would dare support him!
Of course, he didn’t tell Feng Qingcheng this, Feng Qingcheng was devoted to him, knowing he worried day and night about Grand Marshal’s high power and position possibly harboring rebellion, knowing he wanted to ally with Si Kingdom to ease relations, he unhesitatingly agreed to his proposal to share his worries!
Feng Qingcheng’s heart was extremely complicated at this moment watching the out-of-control scene before him, he originally gave up on himself, thinking before dying he could relieve his imperial brother’s worries, his body carried Feng blood, he also had responsibility to protect Feng family’s rivers and mountains, now, he regretted it.
He not only wanted to live, but didn’t want to marry!
“Our young woman said, since you bumped into her and disrespected her greatly, she won’t stoop to your level, but you still need to show sincerity in apology, so this young woman will slap your mouth thirty times!”
“Ah? Thirty?”
“Don’t spout nonsense anymore, our master is fair and just, what are Feng Lan Kingdom’s hierarchy rules? Bumping into an official’s daughter and speaking rudely, thirty slaps is the rule!”
This was indeed so.
Pitifully, this young woman was so beautiful, having her face slapped and disfigured would be such a pity!
Ancient men were truly complicated, Li Xi’er who accepted reality also played smart, she was the future mistress of Yu Qing Palace!
“She is not from Feng Lan Kingdom!” The man suddenly spoke, blocking in front of Li Xi’er.
“Who are you?” Wu Nianwei looked at the man a head taller than her, momentarily lost in a daze.
She had noticed this man earlier though wearing a mask, his caring voice made her heart flutter.
Hadn’t looked closely earlier, now realizing his imposing demeanor and cold aura gave a sense of mystery and distance, majesty.
Especially those amber eyes, deep, as if they could suck her in, she was lost in his dark eyes.
And his eyes seemed to only see the woman beside him.
God of War indeed had high prestige in Feng Lan Kingdom, but his health was poor, never seen but must be fierce and vicious!
“Ah, right, right, I’m not from Feng Lan Kingdom, I didn’t commit a crime, you hitting me fits your country’s rules but not ours!” Li Xi’er quickly poked her head out and said it herself.
“Which kingdom are you from?”
“Dongli Kingdom.”
“Dongli Kingdom?”
The man said indifferently, gaze cold: “Heard that these past few days Dongli Kingdom envoys came to visit, this Grand Marshal’s thousand gold, you wouldn’t want to cause trouble for your father, would you?”
Though she hadn’t been to Dongli Kingdom, she had heard from father, recently indeed officials came over, telling her not to act wild outside!
