Seeing that Feng Yuqin and her daughter were both unyielding, the Second Lady gave up the idea of trying to persuade them.
Anyway, all the things Feng Yuqin had moved today were temporarily stored in her place.
By then, she would just get all these things and the storage bags together.
Thinking this way, the Second Lady told the steward beside her to keep an eye on things and then turned around and left.
However, she didn't forget to take her daughter with her when she left.
She knew that Feng Qing had her eye on Feng Yuqin's storage bags, and her daughter was impulsive. She was worried that more trouble would arise.
"Mother, you could just leave. Why did you have to make me leave too?" Feng Qing complained unhappily as soon as she returned to the courtyard with the Second Lady. "I haven't got my hands on that storage bag yet. That bitch Feng Yuqin has several storage bags. I must get them. I only have one medium - grade storage bag now, and it's simply not enough."
"Qing'er, don't be too impatient. The storage bags in Feng Yuqin's hands will be yours sooner or later." the Second Lady said confidently.
Feng Qing's eyes lit up. "Mother, do you have a good idea?"
"What those mother - daughter duo did today has already angered your father. He will take action against Feng Yuqin and her daughter later." the Second Lady said proudly in her heart. "Although it seems that Feng Yuqin has the upper hand now, I know your father. He won't let it go like this. So if your father takes action, the losers can only be Feng Yuqin and her daughter. Once they lose, all the things they took today, including Feng Yuqin's storage bags, will be ours."
"How long do we have to wait?" Feng Qing couldn't wait for a moment. "Mother, isn't there any other way? It will take a long time for Father to take action. There's only about ten days left until the trial competition. I'm going to participate. With a top - grade storage bag, I can take a lot more things. There's a store opening in the imperial city recently. I heard it sells pills. I want to take more pills and other daily necessities then. The capacity of this medium - grade storage bag is simply not enough."
"Qing'er, you should know that there's Mo Xuanye behind Feng Yuqin now. Otherwise, why do you think I've endured that mother - daughter duo?" the Second Lady said earnestly. "You don't know what kind of person Mo Xuanye is in the Dongyuan Kingdom, but it's better for us to stay away from such a god of death."
"Mother, all these years, you've always been concerned about this and that. If you hadn't been so concerned and had killed Feng Yuqin and her daughter earlier, would we have ended up in this situation where they ransacked the warehouse?" Feng Qing roared impatiently.
Hearing this, the Second Lady's face darkened. "Qing'er, why do you think I've done all this? Isn't it for you three siblings?"
"Mother, you're wrong. You've done it for the other two, not for me. Think about it carefully over the years. Haven't they gotten countless times more benefits from you than I have?" Feng Qing complained bluntly.
The Second Lady looked at her daughter in disbelief. "Qing'er, I thought I've been fair to all of you. Aren't you afraid that your words will hurt your mother's heart?"
Feng Qing gave the Second Lady a cold look and then got up and left.
Seeing her daughter like this, a flash of sadness and anger crossed the Second Lady's heart.
However, this emotion didn't last long before a maid came to report. "Second Lady, the Third Miss and the Young Master are back."
In the mansion now, because of the Second Lady, the children of other concubines were all dead.
If Feng Yuqin hadn't been born to the legitimate wife Yan Aoyun, she would probably have been killed long ago.
So now there were only Feng Yuqin and the three children of the Second Lady left in the mansion.
The Second Lady suddenly stood up. "What did you say? Yao'er and Chi'er are back?"
"Yes, Lady. They should be almost here." As soon as the maid finished speaking, the voices of a boy and a girl were heard.
"Mother..." The two voices sounded at the same time.
Then, two figures appeared in the Second Lady's sight.
Feng Yao was dressed in white, making her look like a fairy in a painting.
Feng Chi was dressed in blue, looking like a steady young boy.
However, their arrogant and haughty postures somewhat diminished their good looks.
"Why did you two come back at this time?" the Second Lady asked anxiously.
The mansion had been in turmoil recently. She had even sent someone to deliver a message asking them to study steadily in their sect and not come back.
Although the Second Lady didn't admit it, her subconscious actions were still biased towards Feng Yao and Feng Chi.
At least she couldn't handle Feng Yuqin well now, so she didn't want Feng Yao and Feng Chi to come back.
But she never thought that Feng Qing was also her daughter, and she had suffered losses at Feng Yuqin's hands several times. Her finger had even been broken by Feng Yuqin.
"Didn't Sister call us back?" Feng Yao walked over and sat down beside the Second Lady, asking in confusion.
"Yes. We were practicing in our sect. After receiving the message from Second Sister, we came back." Feng Chi nodded and said.
"What? Qing'er called you back? What on earth is she up to?" the Second Lady asked in shock.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy that we siblings are back?" Feng Yao asked puzzledly.
"Mother, something must have happened, right?" Although Feng Chi was only twelve years old, he had been practicing outside since he was a few years old, so he didn't think like a child.
They never doubted their mother's love for them.
So seeing their mother's attitude towards their return, Feng Chi immediately thought that something must have happened in the mansion.
"By the way, Mother, when I just returned to the mansion, I accidentally heard that the bad - luck star is back after her marriage alliance. What's going on?" Feng Chi asked in confusion.
"Yes, Mother. That bitch Feng Yuqin was supposed to be in the marriage alliance. Why is she still in the mansion?" Feng Yao said. "Moreover, I heard that they even went to the warehouse and emptied our things. Aren't you in charge of the mansion's affairs, Mother? How could you allow such a thing to happen?"
"Don't mention it. I don't know what's wrong with Feng Yuqin. Since she came back from the marriage alliance, she has completely changed." Thinking of the incident where Feng Qing's finger was broken, a flash of hatred crossed the Second Lady's eyes. "Because Qing'er pointed at that mother - daughter duo when she was talking, that little bitch Feng Yuqin actually broke Qing'er's finger."
"What?" Feng Yao and Feng Chi were both shocked.
"Mother, are you sure you're talking about Feng Yuqin?" Feng Chi frowned and asked.
"If it's not her, who else could it be?" the Second Lady said angrily. She relied most on Feng Yao and Feng Chi in her heart.
Although she didn't want them to come back, since they were already here, she told them all the things that she had been holding back and didn't know who to talk to.
From Feng Yuqin's marriage alliance, to the killers they had arranged, to her making a scene in the kitchen, the incident at the auction house, and her relationship with Mo Xuanye, the Second Lady told them everything without leaving anything out.
After listening, they both felt like they were listening to a story.
Feng Yao looked at the Second Lady with a gloomy face and asked, "Mother, don't you think this is completely different from her usual style?"
