Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Apology for Xiang Rong

Feng Jin Yuan was completely caught off-guard and chased out. For a while, he was a bit surprised. Were they not speaking quite well, so why did she immediately have him chased out? Even saying something like beating him if he did not leave? What exactly was his second daughter playing at?

But even if there were doubts in his mind, he did not dare tempt fate. After all, he understood his second daughter too well. If she said to beat someone, that person would definitely be beaten. He did not want to suffer a beating for no reason. As for where he would spend the day, he really needed to think carefully. At the very least, he would need to make another attempt at the Feng residence. He had spent a long time outside and had not had a chance to change his clothes. It was truly very uncomfortable.

Once Feng Jin Yuan left the manor, Feng Yu Heng quickly asked Huang Quan: “You’re certain about that matter?”

Huang Quan nodded, “It was a piece of news that came from the Lian residence. It can’t possibly be fake. Feng Jin Yuan dressed up as a retainer to get closer to Feng Zhao Lian. As a result, he was found by Fen Dai, which caused him to be kicked out.”

Feng Yu Heng snorted coldly, “It really serves him right! This time, Feng Fen Dai did something correct. This sort of father must not be kept in the home. It’s a pity that I just told Feng Jin Yuan about the deed belonging to him. If I knew about this earlier, I would not have reminded him.”

Huang Quan was stunned, “Ah, now that Feng Jin Yuan is going back, he shouldn’t be going to get the residence back, right?”

“Get the residence back? He doesn’t have that ability.” Feng Yu Heng treated the pastry and tea as her breakfast. While eating, she said: “Feng Fen Dai is not like the former Feng Chen Yu. At the very least, Feng Chen Yu would know about the severity of things and knew that she needed to give her father some face. She knew that her future would rely on her father having a good image to support her, but Feng Fen Dai has always viewed herself as being above everyone. She never thinks before speaking or acting. She just needs to be satisfied in the moment and will not consider much of anything. Thinking about it, when has Feng Jin Yuan ever obtained a benefit from her? He wants the residence? Feng Fen Dai would need to give it over.”

Huang Quan thought about it and came to the same conclusion. After thinking about Fen Dai’s personality, she could not help but frown, “The children of the Feng family, I really don’t know how they were raised.” After saying this, she hastily added: “Our young miss is the exception!” Seeing that Feng Yu Heng smiled and did not say much, she continued: “Young Miss, shouldn’t we remind Prince Lian to be a little more reserved? His daily actions are too unreasonable. Currently, there is word spreading everywhere about him openly expressing himself to His Highness the Seventh Prince. Even the storytellers in the tea houses are talking about it. Wasn’t it said that he came to the capital for the sake of having Young Miss treat his illness? Why is the illness not being treated? Instead acting entirely as a woman?”

Feng Yu Heng was also helpless, “Precisely whether he’s a man or woman, I think he’s also quite confused. Just let him be. Although that person is a bit rowdy, he has a goal and is measured in his actions. After all, he is used to being in the spotlight. In the realm of schemes, he’s someone that survived the battle for the throne. He won’t cause a problem that can’t be cleaned up. That’s just his personality. Even if we advised him, it would be pointless. It would be best to just let him be.”

“But what if His Highness...”

“What if His Highness the Seventh Prince takes an interest in him?” Feng Yu Heng nearly spat out a mouthful of tea. There were times when she had to admire her maidservant’s imagination. Aside from beauty, Feng Zhao Lian did not have much else. As for that beauty, it was useless when it came to Xuan Tian Hua. Not to mention the fact that he already knew that he was a man, but even if he did not know, was Xuan Tian Hua someone that loved beauty?

Huang Quan saw Feng Yu Heng’s reaction then went to think about what she had just said. She also felt that it was a bit ridiculous, thus she smiled awkwardly and did not say anything else.

On this day, the Feng residence was not quiet either. Feng Jin Yuan just returned to the residence’s entrance and saw the Feng family’s gatekeepers quickly close the gate, cleanly locking him outside. He was fuming with anger and was about to go and bang on the gate. At this time, a group of people suddenly came from behind. One of the people very impolitely pushed him to the side. He lost his balance and fell down the stairs, causing his butt to hurt. Just as he was about to angrily ask what sort of person had pushed him aside, he saw that the group stood in front of the Feng residence and banged on the gate. The aura was as though the Feng family owed them money, and they had come to collect.

Feng Jin Yuan trembled and subconsciously retreated to the side. While retreating, he wondered to himself, where had he taken out a loan? Would it cause so many people to visit and demand payment? Looking more carefully, there was a girl in the middle of the group, and she looked to be around 14 or 15 years of age. She looked quite good, but it was a pity that she was expressionless. It was as though she was a dead person. Her right hand was tightly wrapped up and had suffered a serious injury.

At this time, the voice of a gatekeeper came from inside the Feng residence and very impolitely shouted: “Stop knocking. The fourth young miss already said that you are no longer the master of the Feng residence. Whether you live or die, it’s unrelated to the Feng residence!”

Once these words came out, the people knocking were stunned. The girl then turned her head and looked in Feng Jin Yuan’s direction. Her eyes were filled with disdain and contempt. She then gestured to the attendant at her side, and the attendant stepped forward, loudly saying to the gate: “We aren’t the master of the Feng family or anything like that. We are the servants of the Mu family of Luo Province. Today, our young miss came to see third Young Miss Feng.”

The people inside clearly fell silent for a while then there were the sounds of footsteps. Not long later, the gate was opened. It was housekeeper He Zhong.

The people outside were very impolite, immediately saying: “Is the Feng family’s third young miss present?”

He Zhong nodded, “She is. May I ask...”

“When we just knocked, did we not tell you guys? Why are you still asking? Are the Feng family’s gatekeepers all hard of hearing?” From the group, the girl took the initiative to walk forward. Walking through the crowd, she entered the Feng residence. “Go and call the third young miss out. Just say that the daughter of Luo Province’s prefect has come to visit. She will naturally understand the situation.”

He Zhong frowned from hearing this. Intuition told him that the visitor was not kind, but Feng Fen Dai had left the manor. There was nobody at home that could act as a master to make a decision. Aside from quickly going to tell the third young miss, there was nothing else that he could do.

Thus He Zhong did not delay any longer. He trotted along and went to call Xiang Rong to the front yard. He thought at first that they had come with a fierce look, so with the third young miss appearing with her weak and timid personality, would she not be beaten and insulted? He had already prepared himself to protect her, even if it was just a bit of action, it would mean that he had performed his duty as the Feng residence’s housekeeper.

But He Zhong never thought that those people, especially the one that had referred to herself as the young miss of the first wife of Luo Province’s prefect would, instead of hitting or insulting Xiang Rong, actually performed a deep salute to Xiang Rong. Although her expression did not match with her actions, the words that she said were indeed an apology to Feng Xiang Rong. She said: “Third Young Miss Feng, on the day of the banquet, it was all my mistake. It was me that was too willful and lacking in understanding of the rules. Me insulting and... hitting third Young Miss Feng on that day was all my own fault. Today, I specifically came to apologize to third young miss. Would third young miss please forgive me.”

After she finished speaking, she did something that caused everyone in the Feng family to be even more shocked, as she suddenly slapped herself across the face. This was not all. After one slap, she delivered another. Unfortunately, one hand was injured and could not be used, thus she could only use one hand and slap the left side of her face. The left side of her face swelled up like a steamed bun and was quite shocking.

When Xiang Rong saw this person, she remembered the matter from the day of the banquet. She had heard that the fourth prince had this young miss from the Mu family visit and apologize, but based on the Mu family’s young miss’ personality, it would be a few polite words, and she did not want to argue too much; however, she never thought that she would actually start slapping herself here.

She looked toward the group of people that had also come and very quickly noticed two familiar faces. Those were people from the Ping Palace. She had seen them before. It turned out that Young Miss Mu was being watched by the Ping Palace. It was no wonder she was doing everything so properly.

“That’s enough.” Xiang Rong frowned and called for her to stop, and Young Miss Mu did not delay in the slightest. When told to stop, she immediately stopped without the slightest bit of hesitation. Although her face was swollen, it still did not display any emotion. Xiang Rong looked at her and calmly said: “The matter has already passed. You have also apologized to me, and I accept it. You can go back.”

That young miss looked at Xiang Rong and was stunned for a moment. She felt that the girl before her seemed to have matured and become more stoic since the banquet. But she did not mind. Since Feng Xiang Rong said that she accepted the apology and allowed her to go back, her mission for the day had been accomplished. Young Miss Mu turned around and looked at the two people from the Ping Palace. Seeing that they did not object, she began to walk and headed out of the Feng residence.

At this time, Feng Jin Yuan had made use of the chaos near the Feng family home and had already snuck in. By the time that Young Miss Mu’s group had left and He Zhong had found him, he was already standing inside. He Zhong was shocked and quickly arranged for him to be chased out. But at this time, they heard Feng Jin Yuan say: “This Feng residence is mine. The deed for the residence is also mine. If you want to view Fen Dai as the master, you can follow her in moving out. When the time comes, I will sell this residence and will still be able to live freely.”

He Zhong froze. Hearing Feng Jin Yuan say this, he recalled that this was the case. He was the housekeeper. How could he not remember the most important rule of the residence. Feng Jin Yuan was the master, yet they now listened to Feng Fen Dai’s words and chased him out. What sort of situation was this?

Feng Jin Yuan saw that He Zhong’s expression was slack, thus he continued to speak: “I need to remind you that even if you move out with Feng Fen Dai, don’t place too much hope in her continuing to pay people that have already betrayed their master once. Just think it through. Once Feng Fen Dai leaves this place, where can she go? It would definitely be the Li Palace. Do you feel that the dignified Li Palace, which has plenty of guards and servants would keep you around? Dream on.”

Feng Jin Yuan woke up these people from their dreams. He Zhong’s group only managed to react at this time. Indeed! If they really did follow Feng Fen Dai, once the fourth young miss entered the Li Palace, what of them? Only this residence could allow them to settle down. Moreover, their servant contracts still belonged to Feng Jin Yuan.

Thinking like this, He Zhong no longer dared to leave Feng Jin Yuan outside. He even politely brought him back to his room. As for the storm that would come once Feng Fen Dai returned, they could only wait for that to happen.

This day was destined to not be too peaceful. Outside the Yao family’s other courtyard, Fu Ya was glaring at the people standing outside and asked in confusion: “Who are you looking for?”
