Chapter 17: Powdered Rouge and Fragrant Face

  A phoenix feather fan tilted to one side, and through the open door, she saw two girls entering from the courtyard gate, both around ten years old. The one walking in front wore a beautiful peach-red long dress with exquisite embroidery, with one hand holding a square handkerchief covering her lips, and the other hand carrying a package. Her face showed a stronger disgust than Man Xi's maid. As she walked, she kicked away several broken chairs scattered in the courtyard, her movements both arrogant and reckless.

  The one following behind should be more reserved, the light blue gauze skirt makes her look very clean, although she also covers her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, but does not reveal any displeasure, instead opening her big eyes to curiously scan around. Seeing the woman in front kick away the chair and even pull on the other person's sleeve, advising: "Fourth sister, don't be like this."

  "What else do you want me to do? Third sister, rest assured, Father letting them stay here is clearly a nuisance. What big deal did the Yao family's maiden house have that our Feng Mansion didn't get dragged into is already fortunate, now bringing them back to the mansion is already a great kindness, can't we just speak nicely and provide for them?"

  Feng Yu Huan figured out the identities of these two people, and they turned out to be two other illegitimate daughters of the Feng manor, Third Miss Feng Xiang Rong and Fourth Miss Feng Fen Dai.

  The host's memory didn't have much recollection of the two sisters, only knowing they were two years younger than her and born in the same year, one being the daughter of Third Aunt and the other Fourth Aunt.

  As they spoke, the two young ladies arrived at the door. Feng Yuhuan carried out the basin of dirty water and went to the door without even looking, directly splashing the water outside, and heard a loud cry of "ah". Feng Pian Dai was drenched from head to toe by the dirty water. And behind her, Feng Xiang Rong, because she was blocked by her in front, although also affected somewhat, but no big deal.

  "Which servant has blinded the dog's eyes!" Feng Pian Dai shouted loudly without even opening her eyes, "You scoundrel! Take them out and beat them to death with sticks! Beat them to death! Ahhh!"

  She was shouting loudly as if she had gone mad, but Feng thought he saw clearly that the person who splashed water was the owner of this courtyard, his own second sister.

  Feng Xiang hurriedly walked to the front of Feng Pian Dai, desperately pulling her sleeve to remind her: "Fourth sister, stop shouting quickly and go back to change your clothes, it's not good for people to see you like this."

  It was late summer, and although the weather was getting cooler in the morning and evening, it was still scorching hot during the day. The girls were all wearing thin silk fabrics, which clung to their bodies as soon as they got wet, even revealing the outline of their undershirts.

  Feng Fen Dai's face turned red with shame and anger, her arms wrapped around her chest. She glared at Feng Yu Huan, who still held the empty basin in front of him, her eyes almost spewing fire.

  "Feng, Yu, Huang!" She gritted her teeth and shouted out the name, if Rong hadn't held her back, she really wanted to pounce forward and tear the smiling face in front of her into shreds.

  Feng Yu Huan waved the basin in her hand and said with a straight face, "Fourth sister doesn't even watch where she's walking. I just swept the entrance clean and you splashed another basin of water on it. What a nuisance - Man Xi!" She shouted loudly, "Hurry up and clean the entrance!"

  Feng Fen's face turned green with rage, pointing at Feng Yu: "You, you..." She was speechless for half a day and didn't know how to scold. After all, she was a child raised in a wealthy family, and words like "blind dog eyes" might be uttered, but it would be difficult to come up with more creative insults.

  Feng Rong stood by, not knowing what to say. She was originally a shy and introverted person. When she heard that Feng Yu Heng had returned, she secretly followed the servants to come to the willow garden to take a look. Who knew that as soon as she arrived at the door, she would run into Fen Dai, who also did not bring any servants.

  As soon as Yanxia spoke, she became impudent. Second sister Feng Yuexiang had been outside for so many years and actually practiced a sharp temper, scaring her into not daring to speak again, lowering her head to silently count the water droplets falling from Yanxia's body.

  "Thank you, two sisters, for coming to visit, but our yard is really messy now, and there's no way to invite the sisters in for tea. Please go back first. As for the fourth sister making a mess in the yard, don't worry, I won't tell the elders. After all, the sister also came with good intentions, and it wouldn't be good if she got punished because of this." Feng Yuexiang held an empty basin, speaking very sincerely, as if it were really the case.

  Feng Fen Dai was left speechless by her words, and even Rong Yu was shocked.

  She's really something, this second sister of hers!

  Seeing the two stunned on the spot, Feng Yu Heng stretched out her hand and made a please gesture, sending off the guests in a straightforward and direct manner.

  Feng Pian Dai was so angry that her teeth were chattering, but she didn't dare let Feng Yu Huan make a big deal out of it. Fourth Auntie Han Shi had instructed her not to provoke the Yao family for now and to see how the manor would react. Especially after hearing that Feng Jin Yuan had taken charge and kept them in the manor, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

  Feng Fen Dai had been at odds with Feng Yu Heng since they were young, previously one was a legitimate daughter and the other an illegitimate daughter, she couldn't compete or snatch anything from her, but now it's different!

  It's said that Feng Yu Heng returned to the manor, but this powder puff couldn't come over and step on her right away, where would she be willing to listen obediently. It's just that I didn't think, instead of stepping on someone, I got stepped on, this trip to Liu Yuan was really frustrating.

  "Hmph!" She glared fiercely at Feng Yu Heng, tossing the bundle of clothes in her hand in front of her: "Second sister left in a hurry back then and didn't bring many clothes with her. I helped second sister keep them behind. Now that you're back, I'll return them to you. It's just a pity that these clothes were originally made for the legitimate daughter of the Feng manor to wear. You, who are now nothing but a concubine-born daughter, no longer deserve such fine fabrics."

  Phoenix Feather nodded, "That's right, the concubine daughter, it's all the same." She took another look at Fen Dai's dripping wet appearance and asked considerately, "Fourth sister, don't you think it's not good to leave like this? How about this, Man Xi, take off your clothes and give them to Fourth Miss to change into."

  "This...” Man Xi felt depressed, why did the conflict between sisters end up on her? "Second Miss, it's not that I don't want to exchange with Fourth Miss, but look, I'm a head taller than Fourth Miss, she can't wear this dress either!"

  "Feng Yu hastily waved her hand, 'Fourth sister, you'd better run to a place where there's no one and hurry up, if you delay any longer, I'm afraid more people will see us.'"

  Feng Yan was so scared by her that she didn't dare to pretend to be angry anymore, and she quickly picked up her skirt and ran away, leaving Feng Xiang alone standing in a daze, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

  The phoenix feather fan gazed at this younger sister, who didn't seem as smooth and round in her dealings as Shen Yu, nor as sharp and incisive as Fen Dai. Her timid appearance was somewhat similar to that of Yao Shi, so she also became more gentle.

  "Third sister, how have you been?"
