Yan Aoyun was really an amazing mother. She nodded decisively and disdainfully. "I've said so before. It's just a pity that those words were as worthless as farts."
Both Feng Pingqiu and the Second Lady looked extremely ugly. Feng Qing wanted to say something, but Feng Yuqin shot her a fierce look, and she instinctively fell silent.
"Mother, when you put it this way, I'm actually looking forward to seeing when the Second Lady will be replaced by a new concubine," Feng Yuqin said gleefully.
The Second Lady's face couldn't have looked any uglier.
However, she took Feng Yuqin's words to heart.
Whenever a maid smiled at Feng Pingqiu, she would be suspicious.
Feng Yuqin guessed that the Second Lady had taken her words to heart just by looking at her expression.
After all, she had once taken a course in psychology and was very good at studying people's subtle expressions.
Just then, a maid appeared with the silver.
"Give the banknote to the eldest miss," the Second Lady told the maid.
Feng Yuqin took the banknote and checked the amount. She was quite satisfied. She waved her hand at Feng Pingqiu's family as if shooing away flies. "You can leave now."
Feng Pingqiu's face turned even uglier. He had never felt so aggrieved since he became the prime minister. Thinking that it was the Second Lady who had caused this, he flung his sleeve and walked out.
Seeing this, the Second Lady immediately followed him.
"Master, don't be angry. Listen to my explanation," the Second Lady said in a hurry.
"Rong'er, you really disappointed me today," Feng Pingqiu stopped and looked at the Second Lady.
Feng Qing, who caught up later, saw that both her parents were in a bad mood. She left through a side path and walked around to return to her own courtyard.
"Master, you should know what I told you last night. The Fourth Prince is now in the Western Song Kingdom and has met the emperor. That's why I told you to bear with it for a few days," the Second Lady stepped forward and took Feng Pingqiu's arm. "I know that you think I've been stopping you today and not letting you speak up. But we don't have to bear it for long. After a few days when they are openly driven out of the mansion, it will be much easier for us to secretly deal with them. I'll definitely avenge you for the humiliation you suffered today."
It had to be said that the Second Lady was good at soothing Feng Pingqiu. By the time they reached the courtyard, Feng Pingqiu had already been pacified. So he naturally stayed in the Second Lady's courtyard to rest.
However, as a woman, the Second Lady was more careful than a man.
Coupled with Feng Yuqin's deliberate provocation today, the Second Lady still kept it in mind.
Previously, everything had gone smoothly for them without any setbacks. She had managed the mansion well, and Feng Pingqiu had always praised her.
But today, after suffering a little grievance, he showed his dissatisfaction and disappointment with her. In the end, she still had to spend time soothing him.
The Second Lady looked at the sleeping man beside her, and a complex look flashed across her eyes.
...
Meanwhile, after Feng Yuqin sent her mother back to her room, she returned to her own room.
"Master, you did a great job today. It's a pity that there were two powerful secret guards beside your scumbag father, so I didn't dare to make a sound," the Gold - Devouring Beast said regretfully.
"It won't be like this in the future," before Feng Yuqin could answer, Xiao Ying's voice sounded.
Feng Yuqin's eyes lit up. "Xiao Ying, have you increased your strength?"
She could clearly feel that Xiao Ying's aura was much stronger after waking up.
Xiao Ying nodded. "Yes, master. Thanks to the demon cores of Xiao Jin. They are all very powerful demon cores from ancient times. I've not only recovered some of my strength but also can conceal the aura of a divine beast."
"That's great," the Gold - Devouring Beast said happily. "If I can transform, can I fight by the master's side?"
Feng Yuqin was speechless. Why did the Gold - Devouring Beast only think about fighting?
Was it really okay to be so violent?
Just as she had this thought, Xiao Ying also said excitedly, "Yes. Especially for a thing like today, if I had been there, I would have come out and beaten those bad guys who bullied the master so hard that even their parents wouldn't recognize them."
Feng Yuqin: "..." What kind of beast pets had she taken in?
"Master, what are your plans next? Is there any need for fighting?" The Gold - Devouring Beast didn't expect Xiao Ying to have the same thought as him. Now he was eager to have a good fight.
Feng Yuqin rubbed her forehead and asked, "So now when you communicate with me and stay by my side, no one will find out that you are divine beasts?"
"Unless it's a super - powerful person, ordinary people won't find out," Xiao Ying said.
"There aren't many people with beast pets in the Western Song Kingdom. If people accidentally find out that I have two beast pets, do you think they will tear me apart alive and then rob you from me?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows and asked the two beast pets.
"Then how about... we also get some demon pets for others to make contracts with? In this way, since there will be more people with demon pets in the Western Song Kingdom, no one will have the idea of snatching your beast pets," Xiao Ying's words surprised Feng Yuqin.
"What do you mean? Can you get beast pets for others to make contracts with?" Feng Yuqin asked in shock.
Xiao Ying waved her little wing, completely concealing the Gold - Devouring Beast's divine beast aura, and then brought him in front of Feng Yuqin.
Feng Yuqin looked at Xiao Ying. She was no longer as transparent as before but had a physical form.
As for the Gold - Devouring Beast, he was a small ball, looking a bit like a kitten.
Feng Yuqin remembered when the Gold - Devouring Beast was injured and had a body as big as a mountain. Now looking at his kitten - like appearance, it just seemed so out of place.
The contrast... was too great, she thought as she rubbed her forehead.
"Master, when I just woke up, I found that Xiao Jin's space belongs to you. So I instinctively scanned the space with my spiritual sense and know what's inside," after Xiao Ying finished speaking, a Beast - Taming Law appeared in front of Feng Yuqin. "I can attract demonic beasts, but for taming beasts, master can give it a try. With me here, master will have no problem learning this."
Feng Yuqin looked stunned. "Xiao Ying, have you got your master's occupation wrong? I'm a killer and a medical saint, not a beast tamer."
"Master is so powerful. It's okay to take on multiple roles," Xiao Ying said with a smile.
The Gold - Devouring Beast beside her also nodded vigorously. He looked as cute as could be.
Feng Yuqin instinctively rubbed the Gold - Devouring Beast's little head and said to Xiao Ying, "I'm not that interested in taming beasts for now. I do want to open an An Ye Hall here."
"Is it the same An Ye Hall as the one the master mentioned in her previous life?" Xiao Ying asked curiously.
Previously, when they came back from the Life - Taking Mountain, Feng Yuqin had told the two beast pets about herself on the way. So these two beast pets knew that Feng Yuqin was not the original Feng Yuqin but had traveled from another parallel world.
