The Imperial Concubine's Divine Doctor
Case Closed
The gatekeeper walked in front, already panting, the two officials were also gasping for breath, only Feng Qingchen's face was slightly flushed.
The moment she walked in, Feng Qingchen understood that this was a deliberate attempt by the Xie family to embarrass her.
Never eaten pork, but have seen pigs walking on the road.
This mansion, which covers an area of tens of thousands of hectares, has carriages inside; otherwise, the people living in the deepest part would not have to do anything at all, and just going out one gate would take from morning till night.
Xie's servant thought that as a delicate, bound-footed young lady from an official family, she wouldn't be able to walk much further and would soon beg for mercy. However, he didn't know that Feng Qingchen had never had her feet bound due to not having a mother since childhood.
Phoenix light dust a pair of heavenly feet, plus the training of these few days, not to mention walking three quarters of an hour, even if you walk for an hour, you can still be face not red and breath not short.
No kidding, a surgeon's physical strength absolutely cannot be poor, otherwise, performing a major operation that lasts three or four hours would be fatal.
At that time, fainting on the operating table was not a matter of losing face, but losing one's life!
The other side's calculations have gone wrong.
Hoo... Hoo... Hoo...
"Miss Feng, are you all right?" Two officials, exhausted, fanned themselves with their hands.
Both tired and thirsty.
This Xie manor is too much.
"It's all right, if the two officers are tired, they can rest for a while. With this doorman leading the way, I won't get lost." Feng Qingchen replied casually, making the two officers extremely envious, while the exhausted doorman in front, who was sweating profusely, was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Is this a woman? Is this a woman?
Can actually walk better than those three men?
Huffing and puffing... He rushed along so quickly that he didn't even have the energy to scold anyone, fortunately they were almost at Er Fang's residence.
After another incense stick's time had passed, the gatekeeper and the official were both sweating profusely, but they found it hard to express their difficulties.
Just then, Xie San's flustered voice came from the courtyard.
"Go, send someone to take a look. How come that Feng Qingchen still hasn't arrived? She's really eaten the heart of a leopard and become fearless, daring not to put my Xie family in her eyes. Does she think her life is too long? Send someone to go take a look, has she died?"
The gatekeeper stopped in his tracks, his legs trembling, and his face, already deathly pale from exhaustion, turned even whiter.
Feng Qingchen showed no sympathy at all, walking past the gatekeeper's side: "No need, I'm here."
Feng Qingchen pushed open the door and entered, her face frosty.
With a sweep of his eyes, he took in the situation inside, and a mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
"Light dust has met Lord Wei, two young masters." His mouth said so, but his body didn't move at all, completely without any intention of paying respects.
As for others, Feng Qingchen directly ignored them.
"Feng Qingchen, what a grand setup you have here. We've been waiting for almost half an hour." It's clear that this playboy Xie San has a bad temper and is impatient, scolding as soon as he opens his mouth.
This time, Feng Qingchen didn't let it go, but instead said coldly: "Third Master, is this really what you call missing out on Qingchen? It's not that I, Feng Qingchen, am being overly dramatic, but rather the Shie family is too big. From the main gate to here, it took me a full three quarters of an hour to get here. If my mother hadn't passed away early and bound my feet, today I wouldn't just be able to help you share your worries, Third Master, even if I could make it out of the Shie estate alive, I, Feng Qingchen, would have reason to smile secretly."
"What's going on?" Xie San was immediately annoyed when he heard it and asked the book boy beside him.
"The little one went to check." The book boy was very clever and immediately ran out.
"No need, without the master's order, I think this slave also dare not act rashly. Since it's done, why bother to pretend, how disgusting."
Feng Qingchen knew this had nothing to do with Xie San, but she was happy to pin the blame on him anyway.
"Xie family's servant is so uneducated." Wang Qi echoed, he wasn't helping Feng Qingchen, but just wanted to step on Xie San a bit.
Xie Sanqi's face was burning with anger, just as he was about to open his mouth to scold someone, a middle-aged man wearing a brown brocade robe stepped out from behind him and hastily bowed to Feng Qingchen, saying in a perfunctory tone:
"Miss Feng has been wronged. It's our family's fault for not being strict and negligent. Later, our family will definitely present a generous gift to Miss Feng as an apology."
The words sound pleasant, but are full of disdain, and in his eyes there is unreserved contempt.
"Good, the Xie family is a renowned and aristocratic family. I'd like to see what kind of generous gift they will give as a token of apology." Feng Qingchen was smooth and composed, not only did he not get angry from being humiliated, but instead took advantage of the situation to extort them.
Uh... The middle-aged man was stunned on the spot.
How can there be such a thick-skinned woman who didn't realize this was sarcasm?
Pak... Wang Qi opened his folding fan and covered up the smile at the corner of his mouth, then turned back to look at Feng Qingchen's eyes, which had also changed somehow.
What a pity she's a woman. If she were born as a man, Feng Qingchen would have been a great talent, even if she didn't enter the imperial court or become an official, she would have been a white-robed nobleman.
This wit is admirable.
Cough...cough...
The atmosphere was awkward, and from behind the crowd, Officer Wei, dressed in official attire, walked out.
In front of the Wang and Xie families, this Lord Wei didn't dare to put on airs, but in front of Feng Qingchen, he was completely official, looking at Feng Qingchen with his chin raised, and said with a commanding tone: "Miss Feng, we have been waiting for you for a long time, Miss Feng, you can make your move now."
"Take action? Take what action?" Feng Qingchen had a puzzled expression, with her hands clasped together and leaning against the door frame, a hint of a sly smile playing on her lips, but her eyes shone with innocence and confusion.
This action is not only impolite for a woman, but also for a man. However, Feng Qingchen did it with an air of naturalness, subtly revealing a hint of arrogance.
Very contradictory, yet fatally fascinating.
Xie San and Wang Qi felt their hearts skip a beat as they had never seen such a bold, unconventional woman who disregarded propriety and appearances.
However, Feng Qingchen's move brought both sides' status back on an equal footing.
"You're not even a decent human being! You're not even a decent human being!" The middle-aged man pointed at Feng Qingchen, his finger trembling with rage.
The Wang and Xie families have very strict family rules. Such a flirtatious gesture, not to mention the young ladies of the house, even the maids wouldn't dare do it.
"What's going on? What kind of treatment is this? The Third Young Master personally invited me to come, and after walking for so long, not only was I not offered a cup of tea, but there isn't even a place to sit. How can this be? Now it seems like I'm not even allowed to lean against anything? Is this the hospitality of the Xie Manor? It seems to be even worse than that of my own Feng Manor!"
Feng Qingchen remained still and unmoving, not putting the contempt of others in her heart at all.
She's used to this kind of look now.
She had seen even more venomous gazes than this, yet Feng Qingchen was still living a good life.
Hidden on the shore, I don't need others to look up to me, as long as I value myself.
One day I'll soar into the sky, and even Phoenix won't need anyone's flattery. As long as I understand my own excellence, that's enough.
Hmph...
"You, this obstinate commoner." Lord Wei was so angry with Feng Qingchen that his two eyebrows were twisted like caterpillars.
How dare he lose face in front of the two young masters Wang and Xie, does Feng Qingchen think his life is too big?
"Rebellious commoner? Sir, I, Feng Qingchen, have not beaten the drum to complain of injustice, nor have I blocked your sedan chair to file a complaint. Where is the rebelliousness? If I'm not mistaken, this visit to Xie Manor wasn't something I wanted either. Your words about being a rebellious commoner have greatly hurt my heart."
Feng Qingchen's words were extremely venomous.
Beating drums and shouting grievances, the people who block the sedan chair to file a complaint are not wrong, but it is the officials who force the people to be so, the officials do nothing, and the common people have no choice but to be so.
"Feng Qingchen, you have a big nerve, come..." Lord Wei was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he waved his hand.
Xie San stepped forward: "General Wei, please calm down. Feng Qingchen is after all General Feng's daughter. This matter is indeed our Xie family's fault in not being hospitable."
Xie's household doesn't mind offending this Lord Wei, but there is no need to.
In short, if this matter continues today, neither side will be able to save face.
If those above were to find out that when General Yuwen was moving his troops back to the capital, something happened at the Xie manor, then the Xie family would lose a lot of face.
She gave Feng Qingchen a fierce glare, hinting that she should know when to stop, or else she would be the one to suffer.
