Feng Mingyue raised her brows in surprise. “Oh? Why did the Third Sister suddenly want to attack Xiao Ming?”
Li Qin on the other side heard this and sighed. “Miss, have you forgotten that the Third Miss has a short temper? What’s more, if this matter spread, how could the Feng Family sit still? It’s not weird for the Third Miss to become furious. After all, this is the Feng Family’s reputation.”
Feng Mingyue stroked her chin thoughtfully. Then she stood up, kneading her shoulders before she said, “Ah Xue and Sheng Yi, you both change your clothes to black, then go to Shufen Hall and play a role as the people from the Yunru Restaurant.”
The five people revealed a puzzled expression while Sheng Yi lifted his brows in interest.
Feng Mingyue continued with a smile. “Protect Xiao Ming and if they asked, just said that Xiao Ming’s current identity is the adopted brother of the Yunru Restaurant’s owner.” She added, “Don’t forget to cover your true appearance.”
Wei Xue and Sheng Yi nodded, they both cupped their hands together, bowing respectfully to their master before they left. After the two left, Feng Mingyue turned toward the four personal maids. “Let’s go and help me disguise myself as a weak and sick young miss.”
“Yes, miss.”
…
At this moment, Feng Baiming was fighting with Feng Xiang, the third young miss of the Feng Family. When Feng Xiang first wanted to attack, everyone subconsciously wanted to stop her, after all, they knew pretty well that the eldest young master didn’t know martial art.
However, to everyone’s surprise, when Feng Xiang took out her sword and rushed to attack Feng Baiming, the other party wasn’t a fool, who would stand still letting the opponent kill him either. Therefore, he also took out his sword from the spiritual ring and fought back.
Feng Zhongshan watched the two people fight without any intention to stop them. On the other hand, Feng Ling’s face was filled with worry, yet she didn’t say anything, it was as if she didn’t have the right to stop them from battling.
In terms of strength, of course, Feng Xiang would without a doubt gain the upper hand. She had a master who instructed her since she was a child while Feng Baiming learned from the book with his little knowledge. Regardless of knowing the outcome, Feng Baiming didn’t step back nor did he admit defeat easily.
Clang—
The sword in Feng Baiming’s hand was thrown onto the ground by Feng Xiang. The young lady dressed in pink lotus embroidery was extremely furious right now. The murderous intent in her eyes very was obvious that it couldn’t be concealed.
“How dare you!” Feng Xiang raised her sword and pointed it toward Feng Baiming, who had already been falling onto the ground by Feng Xiang’s force a moment ago.
“It is the Feng Family who kicks you out! You have no right to say those words, and since you don’t even have filial piety for Father, then there’s no need for you to continue living in this world!” Feng Xiang’s eyes were full of hatred. She gritted her teeth and dashed toward Feng Baiming without any hesitation.
Yet, before the tip of the sword touched Feng Baiming, there was a sudden powerful force that pushed Feng Xiang back, making her stagger. The onlookers were no different from Feng Xiang, some of them had already knelt on the ground with pale faces.
Feng Zhongshan frowned tightly. Even the advanced-level spiritual martial artist could still feel a strong pressure that made him want to kneel. There was only one sentence in his mind, the other party is really powerful.
Feng Xiang spit out a mouthful of blood, she lifted her head and looked at the two people that had just appeared. These people wore black from head to toes, if it weren’t for the black veil covering half of their face, she might even suspect that they were from the Dark Palace.
“Xiang-er!” Wu Zhisu hurriedly walked toward her daughter, while Feng Ling followed to check Feng Xiang’s pulse.
On the other hand, Wei Xue turned around and helped Feng Baiming. “Young master, are you alright?”
Feng Baiming glanced at the person in front of him thoughtfully before he shook his head.
Wei Xue breathed a sigh of relief. He then whispered to the teenager, “Master was worried about your safety, so she let us come.”
Feng Baiming: “I know.”
After Feng Baiming stood up, Feng Zhongshan also walked over. The two sides confront each other silently. In the end, it was the short-tempered third young miss, who broke the quiet atmosphere by shouting at the two strangers in front of her. “How dare you attack me!”
Sheng Yi’s aura at this moment was a little different from his usual self. “I’m protecting the young master.”
Feng Xiang laughed angrily. “Protecting who?! That little unfilial demon?!” As she said, she also did not forget to point at Feng Baiming, who stood behind Wei Xue.
Sheng Yi narrowed his eyes dangerously. “The people from the Yunru Restaurant are not someone that you can point your hand at that easily.”
When this sentence fell, the whole Shenfu Hall sank into a deep silence. Everyone knew that there was a mysterious person behind Yunru Restaurant that even the Emperor had to give the other party some face.
Feng Zhongshan was afraid that his third daughter would make things more difficult. Hence, he immediately stepped forward and asked politely, “May I ask these two gentlemen. Why are you protecting my son?”
Sheng Yi didn’t even give Feng Zhongshan a look. Seeing this, Wei Xue sighed helplessly, his Brother Yi would not deal with this sort of fake people, thus Wei Xue had no other choice but to respond to Feng Zhongshan with a gentle voice. “I heard that he is already serving all ties with the Feng Family?”
Feng Zhongshan was stunned. Then he answered modestly, “Yes.”
Wei Xue nodded gently. “So he will have nothing to do with the Feng Family again after Concubine Xu’s funeral. Ah, I forgot to tell you as to why we protect him.” The young man’s eyes seemed to be smiling. “Because he is our master’s adopted brother.”
“Impossible!” It was Feng Xiang who shouted.
Wu Zhisu was also shocked by this unexpected news. Concubine Xu’s only son was actually the mysterious owner of the Yunru Restaurant’s adopted brother? When did this happen? When did Feng Baiming meet that mysterious owner?
Feng Ling’s hands couldn’t help but tighten. She thought that when Feng Baiming left the Marquis manor, the family head position would fall into her hands. After all, with Feng Xiang’s temper, plus her stupid brain, Feng Ling didn’t need to worry at all.
But what she didn’t expect was that Feng Baiming had some connection with some powerful expert. In fact, she planned to marry the crown prince, be the future empress, and have various connections with all the powerful experts in the Hu Kingdom.
However, with her current situation, she could only come in touch with the crown prince, other young masters in several families, some powerful people in the palace, and some clans. So she still needed to discuss this matter with the crown prince first whether the other party had a plan to marry her into the palace.
Sheng Yi suddenly became impatient. He looked at those people who were shocked about Feng Baiming’s current identity with a sneer. “What has been said is true, and if none of you don’t believe it, then we can’t help it either.”
Wei Xue seemed to sense Sheng Yi’s grumpiness, thus he also opened his mouth. “We will say again that under our protection, you have no right to harm the young master, and we will take him out of the Feng Family after Concubine Xu’s funeral.”
Before the members of the Feng Family could speak out their opinions. There was a sudden movement at the gate of the manor, then everyone heard someone shout, “Eunuch Wu is here to read out the imperial decree.”
