None of them had expected that Feng Yuqin would so openly tear the mask off.
Moreover, she did it right in front of so many people.
"Feng Yuqin, since you claim we're enemies, what are you still doing in the Prime Minister's Mansion? You should just get out," Feng Qing blurted out instinctively, and was about to point at Feng Yuqin, but then remembered what had happened to her finger and quickly retracted it.
Feng Yuqin scoffed. "Do you really want to know why I'm still in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Everyone turned to look at Feng Yuqin, eager to hear what she would say next.
Feng Yuqin laughed, a bloodthirsty and cruel laugh. "Of course it's to stay here and torture you guys. I won't leave until I've made your whole family's life a living hell. After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion wouldn't be what it is today without my mother's dowry."
Hearing these words, Feng Pingqiu glared angrily at Feng Yuqin. "You really think too highly of yourself. Do you really think you're that important? Do you think I, the Prime Minister, would let you push me around?"
"I bet big sister is counting on that Fourth Prince who has left the Western Song Kingdom," Feng Yao added fuel to the fire. She was determined to stir up as much hatred against Feng Yuqin in front of her father as possible today.
Feng Pingqiu snorted. "When Mo Xuanye was here, I might have been a bit more cautious. But now that he's out of the Western Song Kingdom, do you think you still have a backer?"
Feng Yuqin blinked. So her scumbag father was acting all high and mighty now just because Mo Xuanye had left.
But how could she let these people have their way?
"Sorry to disappoint you. I don't rely on Mo Xuanye anymore. After all, as you said, he's no longer in the Western Song Kingdom," Feng Yuqin said with a smile.
"Then why don't you hurry up and get the fourth - level pill back? Otherwise, I'll make you pay," Feng Pingqiu said coldly.
Except for the Second Madam's family, who thought Feng Pingqiu's attitude was normal, the other concubines in the mansion secretly despised his actions.
The concubines who were still alive in the mansion were not stupid.
Those who were stupid were already dead.
So now they could all see clearly that the man they had chosen...
Was no different from a robber.
And he was even robbing his own daughter.
"I don't rely on Mo Xuanye now, but I have the Dark Night Pavilion as my backer," Feng Yuqin said. "Father, do you know this?"
Feng Yuqin counted on her fingers as she introduced her backers to her scumbag father. "My grandfather has recovered from the virus, so he's my backer. My eldest uncle's injuries are healed, and my youngest uncle can stand up again. They're also my backers."
With each name Feng Yuqin mentioned, Feng Pingqiu's face turned uglier.
The Second Madam and the others also didn't look too happy.
The other concubines were just onlookers, enjoying the show as they watched the Second Madam's family get embarrassed.
Feng Yuqin continued counting her backers. "My eldest and second cousins have caught the eye of the Dark Night Pavilion's master and are going to be promoted. So they're also my backers. And their backer is really something. The Eastern City Lord, the Meng family, and Elder Zhao all support the Dark Night Pavilion's master. Just ask if you're scared?"
Feng Pingqiu's face was now as dark as a thundercloud.
Feng Qing immediately flew into a rage. "That Dark Night Pavilion master is just a promiscuous woman. Not only did she recruit your two cousins into the Dark Night Pavilion, but now she's even seducing the Crown Prince."
"You're courting death for daring to insult the master," Xiao Ying roared angrily.
"Find a chance to kill her," Xiao Jin said aggressively.
Feng Yuqin slapped her forehead. She didn't even care, so why were these two beast pets so eager?
And Xiao Jin, could he stop just agreeing with Xiao Ying all the time?
He seemed like a yes - man.
Then Feng Yuqin suddenly realized that Feng Qing had a crush on Yun Feiyue.
She had almost forgotten about this.
Thanks to Feng Qing's reminder, she remembered that Feng Qing's other goal was to become the Crown Princess.
So she started to hit Feng Qing where it hurt. "My two cousins joined the Dark Night Pavilion because of their outstanding abilities. Your mind is so dirty. People with dirty minds always see everything as dirty. As for what you said about seducing the Crown Prince, go out and ask around. It's actually the Crown Prince who's been pestering the Dark Night Pavilion's master, while she doesn't even look at him."
"Bullshit," Feng Qing knew what was going on outside, but she just refused to admit it. "What's the Dark Night Pavilion? It's just a pill shop. The Crown Prince is the heir to the Western Song Kingdom. With such a status, how many women wouldn't want to marry into the royal family and rise to the top?"
Feng Yuqin scoffed. "The one who wants to rise to the top is you. But unfortunately, the Crown Prince you like doesn't even look at you."
These words were really harsh.
This was Feng Qing's biggest heartache.
She had tried many times to get close to Crown Prince Yun Feiyue.
But Yun Feiyue had never even given her a second look.
Now he was interested in a woman she didn't like, the Dark Night Pavilion's master. How could she not hate?
"You're lying. It's not true. It's that bitch from the Dark Night Pavilion who's seducing the Crown Prince," Feng Qing shouted like a madwoman.
Seeing her acting like a crazy person, Feng Yuqin didn't even bother to respond. She turned to Feng Pingqiu and said,
"From now on, don't even think about getting anything from me. I won't be like before, doing whatever you asked just to get a glance from you, my scumbag father.
Now that I've grown up and come back from the brink of death, I don't care about your so - called fatherly love anymore. If you behave yourself, I'll let the Prime Minister's Mansion last a bit longer. But if you don't, I won't mind making it disappear overnight."
"Big sister, you're getting a bit too carried away. Do you really think you can make the Prime Minister's Mansion disappear just like that?" Feng Chi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
"What? Do you want me to give it a try?" Feng Yuqin raised an eyebrow. "Or do you think your Soul Sect Level 2 strength is something to be proud of?"
"We're going to the Central Region soon. Once we get there, we'll level up much faster. If you dare to do anything to my parents, I'll never let you go," Feng Yao said, completely trying to curry favor with Feng Pingqiu and show how unfilial Feng Yuqin was.
Feng Yuqin sneered. "You can't even do anything to me now, let alone in the future. Do you think it's just a game?"
Feng Yao didn't understand what "a game" meant, but she roughly knew what Feng Yuqin was talking about.
"Big sister, I advise you not to pin your hopes on others. The Yan family is still an outsider. We're family. You should focus on our own family," Feng Yao said earnestly. "And that Dark Night Pavilion master, you have nothing to do with her. Even if something happens to you, do you think she, a high - ranking master, would come to your rescue?"
