This scene of open confrontation made it clear to everyone that the relationship between this father and daughter had truly soured.
In the past, many might have scolded Feng Yuqin, deeming her unfilial. But now, since quite a few people had received favors from Feng Yuqin, most of them instinctively sided with her.
Of course, there were also those who were at odds with Feng Yuqin.
People like Xia Yujia, for example.
"Feng Yuqin, being so unfilial is a major taboo in the Western Song Kingdom," Xia Yujia rushed over as soon as she heard about the conflict at the Yan family.
Seeing that so many people weren't helping Feng Pingqiu, she naturally stepped forward.
"Miss Feng treats her own father like this. Who knows how much worse her attitude will be towards her in - laws in the future," Meng Yuanhang, upon hearing his cousin speak, couldn't just stand by idly.
"So with this commotion, no one in the Western Song Kingdom will dare to marry you. After all, marrying you would be like bringing a demanding ancestor into the family," Xia Yujia's intentions were truly malicious.
For an ordinary woman, such words might have really scared off potential suitors. After all, people in the Western Song Kingdom attached great importance to a woman's reputation.
But fortunately, Feng Yuqin was no ordinary woman, and she had no intention of marrying in the Western Song Kingdom anyway.
After all, the man she loved, Mo Xuanye, was from the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
"Look, even outsiders can't stand your behavior. If you come back to the mansion with me, I can let bygones be bygones," Feng Pingqiu put on an air of magnanimity. His constant changes in attitude made many people think that the prime minister was nothing special.
Both Feng Pingqiu and the second - wife valued face and reputation highly.
So in the past, they had always maintained a good image.
But now, Feng Yuqin had caused them one problem after another. The second - wife was currently injured and unable to get out of bed, and Feng Pingqiu, having been dismissed from his position as prime minister, had lost his sanity and made a scene at the Yan family.
So, if there were people speaking up for Feng Pingqiu, how could there not be those speaking up for Feng Yuqin?
"We were all deceived by the prime minister and the second - wife in the past. We thought Miss Feng was so bad, but now we know we were wrong. She can research antidotes for strangers. How could she be unfilial to her own father?"
"Exactly. Miss Feng is so liked by the Yan family's elders. She can't be as the prime minister described."
"I vaguely heard my daughter say before that when she attended activities held by noble ladies, she often saw the second miss of the Feng family bullying Miss Feng. At that time, Miss Feng had no power to resist because she had no strength."
Once this topic was opened, many people started to reveal the inside information they knew.
"Yes, I also heard my daughter say that the second - wife of the prime minister's mansion is really good at pretending. She would just watch her daughter bully Miss Feng and not interfere. She would only step in after the bullying was over."
"My daughter also told me about this. She said that when she attended banquets at the prime minister's mansion, she hardly ever saw the main mistress of the Feng family. It was always the second - wife bringing her children around. And she would even speak ill of Miss Feng and her mother, both openly and secretly."
As these accusations piled up, Feng Pingqiu's face grew darker and darker. "You all shut up. What you're saying isn't true. A woman who wants to divorce me? How could such a woman be a good one? And how could the daughter she raised have any good upbringing?"
Feng Yuqin sneered. "Father, since you dislike me so much, what are you still doing here?"
She had stayed in the prime minister's mansion before because she didn't want to see what rightfully belonged to her mother being taken over by others.
Now, the second - wife had been brought down by her, and Feng Qing was now under house arrest.
Although Feng Yao and the other had escaped, but in the Central Region, she would surely go after them for revenge. She'd just let them enjoy their freedom for a while.
So all the problems that needed to be solved had been taken care of. She had absolutely no reason to stay in the prime minister's mansion.
After all, she had many other things to handle. The people in the prime minister's mansion were no match for her.
She didn't even put the Western Song Palace in her eyes now, let alone a mere prime minister's mansion, especially one that she had already suppressed to the point of having no power to resist.
Her current plan was to focus on the Central Region, establish a firm foothold there, and fulfill her promise to Mo Xuanye to marry him in the Central Region.
"You're my daughter, but you've been living in the Yan family for so long. I've come here in person to pick you up, and you still have the nerve to ask me what I'm doing here?" Feng Pingqiu's anger flared up when he heard her words.
"Aqin is my daughter. You never acknowledged her when she was a child. Now that her identity as an alchemist has been exposed, you want to take her back," Yan Aoyun firmly stood in front of Feng Yuqin and said domineeringly, "Feng Pingqiu, let me tell you, you're dreaming!"
"You..." Feng Pingqiu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old master of the Yan family.
"Feng Pingqiu, our Yan family doesn't welcome you. Please leave immediately. If you insist on causing trouble here, don't blame our Yan family for being rude," the old master of the Yan family said. As soon as his words fell, the butler had already led people over.
When Feng Pingqiu saw those people, and realized that their strength was not low, he cowered.
Although he had also brought some people with him today, the number was obviously less than that of the Yan family.
He had thought that the Yan family had declined and had few people to use.
Now seeing the people behind the butler, he realized that he had misjudged again.
"What? Not leaving yet?" the old master of the Yan family roared loudly with full vigor.
Feng Pingqiu glared angrily at Yan Aoyun and Feng Yuqin. "Just you wait."
Then, he slunk away.
Xia Yujia and Meng Yuanhang saw this scene and cursed in unison, "Coward."
This farce finally came to an end.
Feng Pingqiu had originally come here to cause trouble for Yan Aoyun, ruin her reputation, and then take her back to squeeze her.
As long as he had Yan Aoyun in his hands, he wasn't worried that Feng Yuqin wouldn't refine pills for him.
But his plans were too idealistic. His rationality had temporarily made him ignore Feng Yuqin's fighting strength.
The current situation was completely different from what he had expected.
When the Yan family returned to the hall, Yan Aoyun looked disgusted. "I really don't know how I was so blind back then to fall for such a person."
Yan Aoyun now truly loathed Feng Pingqiu from the bottom of her heart.
She was also very dissatisfied with her own blindness in the past.
Seeing her like this, Feng Yuqin smiled. "Actually, I've learned something about father's deeds back then. If he had put his mind on the right path, he was quite talented. It's a pity that he chose the wrong path."
And her mother had always liked talented people, so she had taken a fancy to Feng Pingqiu at first sight.
It was a pity that once he came into contact with the once - prosperous Yan family, her scumbag father's evil thoughts were awakened.
"Just thinking about today's incident makes me sick," Yan Aoyun said still indignant.
"Alright, the matter is over. You should just live your life in peace," the old master of the Yan family said.
"Got it, father," Yan Aoyun didn't want to worry the two elders, so she put away her loathing for Feng Pingqiu.
