Volume 2 ◆ Flourishing Talent VS Overlooking the World ◆ 031 Strength is Supreme

  Feng Mei Xue left the Weaving Silk Building and circled around several mansions, making it impossible for anyone to guess where she was headed. Only then did she enter the Feng Mansion.

  She hadn't even entered Mei Yin Lou when she heard the sound of arguing coming from outside the building, and that voice was unmistakably Third Madame Feng.

  "You few dead girls, get out of here quickly! If you don't find the emerald jade flower bracelet for my wife, you'll be in trouble!"

  "We haven't seen your broken wristband at all!"

  Asakusa's face turned red with anger, her small face looking childish. Her white fists were clenched tightly, and her slender body was trembling with rage.

  Qingwei and Xueqiang also suppressed their anger, while Liu Li was taking care of Madame Lengqing in the Meiyin Building and hadn't come out, otherwise she would have been infuriated as well.

  Although they are orphans, Yanhua Gongzi gave them the best opportunity to cultivate their talents and make the most of their abilities.

  Outside, each of them has a status that is not low. Now acknowledging Feng Xue as the main one is to repay Gongzi's kindness, but it doesn't mean they are really servants who can be bullied!

  Now they endured in silence, only so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to Feng Mian Xue.

  Because once they recognize a person, they will be loyal to the death and never betray. The young master teaches them the most important thing, not their talent, but a loyal heart.

  "This madam's jade and blue flower bracelet was dropped at your Mei Yin Lou, aren't you feeling guilty?! I knew it, you poor devils are coveting this madam's bracelet and refusing to return it!"

  The three aunts of the Feng manor, with their sharp and piercing words, spoke from the vermilion lips that seemed to be painted with layers of powder. As they spoke, the two mounds of flesh on their cheeks quivered, causing fine powder to fall gently.

  Third Aunt's figure was exceptionally plump and full, wearing a thin smoke-green gauze with golden threads, lined with embroidered peony silk skirt. All the ornaments on her head were made of jade, unfortunately not matching her temperament.

  The traces of time were covered by the white powder on her face, and from a distance, it seemed to have a few flavors. If not for her words being too sharp and sour, destroying this only remaining thread of beauty, others would probably think that this kind-hearted woman was a good person to get along with!

  "Or perhaps there's something indecent in Meiyin Building that you don't dare let Madame search for!"

  She said, waving her hand to signal the servants behind her to forcibly rush into Meiyin Building. The look of not putting Qingyu and the other two in her eyes at all can be said to have written off her complacency.

  Asakusa, Qingwei and Xueqiang's hearts couldn't help but feel a wave of anxiety upon hearing her words. The young lady hadn't returned yet, if she were to be discovered, what would they do?

  "What? - I didn't mishear, did I?! In the Feng manor, there is only one mistress, and that's my mother. Since when do some stray cats and dogs dare to call themselves 'the mistress' too? Are they trying to usurp the position of the rightful wife?"

  Feng Mei Xue's stunning figure slowly emerged from the plum blossom forest, her gaze swept towards the third lady of the Feng manor.

  As she walked closer, the entire sky and earth seemed to become colorful. Her noble silver-purple flowing water long skirt, under the clear and sweet sunlight, revealed its floral patterns. The light golden plum blossoms on her skirt also shone with dazzling brilliance.

  A white veil covered her face, giving her an air of mystery, a kind of awe-inspiring aura that suddenly emanated from her body. Her icy gaze swept over the three madams of the Feng manor, causing them to shudder violently, their hair standing on end as if possessed by a malevolent spirit. Their minds were blank and confused, like a sheet of white paper.

  Feng Mei Xue's clear and cold voice made everyone feel a chill in their hearts, stirring up an inexplicable sense of fear.

  "Miss!"

  On her calm and icy face, a look of excitement suddenly surged up, the huge stone that had been hanging in her heart finally put down.

  "Miss, we——"

  Asakusa saw Feng Huixue return, as if she had found a sense of security. The grievances of being bullied suddenly welled up in her eyes, her nose felt sour, and tears sparkled in the corners of her eyes. Her majestic red skirt fluttered in the wind.

  "Don't worry, I've got everything under control!"

  Feng Mei Xue walked to Asuka's front, gently patted her slender and delicate shoulders, with a hint of comfort, making her heart suddenly soften.

  Xue Qian saw Feng Mei Xue safe and sound, nodded slightly with a faint smile, her face warm and gentle, smiling like spring breeze, giving people a very comfortable feeling. Blue skirt was elegant and quiet, just like her, water spirit and refined.

  "You're talking nonsense! I - how could I have such thoughts! You stop distorting the facts!"

  The third aunt of Feng Fu was stepped on her painful foot, got angry and stamped her feet, her face turned pale and white.

  In the Tianyao Empire, where strength is revered, the situation of men being superior to women is not too severe. However, aristocratic families place great importance on appearances, and the position of the mistress of the house is not something that concubines can easily shake. If it weren't for Leng Qinghuan's excessive tolerance, she wouldn't have allowed them to grow so arrogant, and things wouldn't have ended up like this.

  The status of women in the backyard of Fengfu all come from the favoritism of Feng Yunhan, the master of the Feng family. Once they lose their favoritism, they are nothing!

  Feng Mei Xue never expected Feng Yun Han to have a conscience, she knew that only by becoming stronger herself could she live a good life. She needed even greater strength, the road ahead was still very long.

  She wants to personally take back everything that belongs to her and her mother!

  "I may have been talking nonsense, but Three Auntie knows it in her heart. Don't say I didn't warn you, there's more than one person in the Feng manor who wants to become the mistress. Is Three Auntie not putting the rules and hierarchy of the Feng manor in her eyes by making such a big fuss at Mei Yin Lou and disturbing my mother's peace?"

  Feng Mei Xue's words were neither warm nor fiery, but fell slowly, and in just a few sentences, they made the face of Feng Fu's third aunt turn pale.

  When she left Mei Yun Building in the morning, Er Niang had already provoked her to find trouble with Leng Qinghuan. At that time, she didn't think much and agreed readily. Now thinking about it, she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat behind her back.

  Now Feng Yunhan is in the mansion, looking at his appearance, it seems that he still has feelings for Leng Qinghuan. This time she came over, everyone knows that if something happens to Leng Qinghuan, when the blame comes down, she will be the unlucky one!

  If I were to be someone else's scapegoat, wouldn't that be a miscarriage of justice! Yesterday's fire at the Yanran Building is a perfect example of this!

  At the thought of this, she felt a chill in her heart. The calm and gentle Feng Xue was not to be feared, but rather the other concubines and young ladies were difficult to deal with.

  Remove those stumbling blocks first, that's the top priority!

  "Mei Xue laughed! Auntie just came to see you! I suddenly remembered that bracelet, it seems to have fallen somewhere else!"

  Third Aunt's face squeezed out an unpleasant smile, and she said to Feng Mianxue. However, in private, she was so resentful of Feng Mianxue and her mother that her teeth itched, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, since everyone knew she had come to Mei Yin Lou today, she couldn't do anything, and had to guard against the backhands of other aunts.

  "Oh? Then you'd better remember clearly from now on, or else you'll end up in the wrong place!"

  Feng Mei Xue said faintly, she had no good feelings towards San Niang, who was treacherous and deceitful. Let them fight among themselves first, and at the critical moment, she would deliver the fatal blow.

  "Let's go!"

  The three aunts saw that they couldn't get what they wanted, so they left with their tails between their legs, leading a group of people away in disarray.

  After they left, Liu Li hugged a small box and walked out of Mei Yin Building. She looked at Feng Xue tightly and spoke hastily.

  "Miss, miss! I just saw this box in the pile of medicine beside the stove in the kitchen!"

  "Open it and take a look!"

  Feng Mei Xue had already guessed that San Niang's visit this time was not so simple, her eyes fixed on the box in Liu Li's hand, and all the answers were about to be revealed.
