Feng Yunshu was gently rubbed by him like this, and all her remaining thinking ability disappeared.
She could only stare blankly at the gold - threaded patterns on the edge of Helan Yanting's robe in front of her. As she stared, suddenly, as if possessed, she raised her hand to pick at the raised gold threads on it.
Helan Yanting felt a tingling sensation in his chest from her picking. He calmly let go of her and said, "What? Wife, are you really stupid?"
Only then did Feng Yunshu come to her senses. Looking down, she found that the embroidery on Helan Yanting's clothes was almost picked loose.
"If you keep picking like this, wife, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to the mansion to change my clothes first."
Feng Yunshu quickly backed off and obediently sat on the seat at a certain distance from him.
"Then... My lord, are you willing to cooperate with the suggestion I just made?"
Helan Yanting looked up at Feng Yunshu, who was full of expectation. The words on his lips turned into a helpless smile, and then he slowly nodded.
"Of course I'll go all out for the things you ask, wife."
Feng Yunshu felt a rush of warmth in her heart and quickly averted her gaze. Why did her heart seem to be beating out of control?
The Prime Minister's Mansion.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate. According to the etiquette, Prime Minister Feng, the first lady and other relatives should have waited at the mansion gate early to welcome the son - in - law back for a visit. However, the reality was -
There were only two servants guarding the gate and two stone lions standing there. There was no one else showing up. It was extremely deserted in front of the gate.
Feng Yunshu had expected this and was not surprised. After they got off the carriage, she calmly wrapped her arm around Helan Yanting's and walked straight in.
The two servants guarding the gate saw Helan Yanting and Feng Yunshu coming. They just turned their heads and looked, then reluctantly said, "Greetings to the prince and princess."
Feng Yunshu was dissatisfied to see the two servants' cold tone and obvious lack of respect. Moreover, they didn't seem to want to go in and report.
Helan Yanting beside her still looked gentle, as if he didn't care about this at all.
In Feng Yunshu's view, he was just too weak. He was very good at bullying and scheming against her at home, but why did he become a coward when he was outside? Feng Yunshu was very puzzled.
It didn't matter. There had to be a tough person in the family. It seemed that she had to play the bad cop.
Feng Yunshu stopped in front of the two servants, slightly narrowing her eyes and slowly scanning them. "I've been married into the prince's mansion for only a few months, but I don't know when such rude servants were recruited into the mansion. Has the mansion encountered some difficulties that the discipline has become so lax?"
After saying this unhurriedly, Feng Yunshu slowly turned the big gold bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet was heavy enough to catch people's eyes.
"If the first lady can't manage properly, I don't mind helping her."
After hearing this, the two servants' faces turned pale. They panicked and knelt down on the ground with a thud to pay their respects to Feng Yunshu and Helan Yanting.
"Your Highnesses, please calm your anger! We servants just came to the mansion not long ago. We had no idea who you were. Our lack of etiquette was not intentional. Please give us a chance to correct our mistakes!"
"Now you remember the etiquette?"
Feng Yunshu coldly glanced at the servants kneeling on the ground and sneered with pursed lips.
"Think before you lie. I remember you two have been in the mansion for some time, right?"
"Princess! We servants know our mistakes! We really know our mistakes!"
These two snobbish servants didn't expect Feng Yunshu to have such a good memory. They were so panicked that they kept kowtowing to admit their mistakes.
"Humph, if I see you servants daring to be disrespectful to the prince next time, I won't spare you."
Feng Yunshu couldn't stand this kind of sycophantic face, especially that a gate - guarding servant dared to be so disrespectful to Helan Yanting.
She didn't really care about it for herself, but somehow, when she thought that the man beside her was being despised like this, a surge of anger welled up in her heart.
Helan Yanting had been standing silently beside her. When the two servants knelt on the ground, he reached out and pulled Feng Yunshu behind him a little. "Wife, there's a lot of dust here. They're just some servants. Let's go in."
Thinking of the purpose of this visit, Feng Yunshu didn't want to delay any longer and turned to go in.
"Ouch, I wondered who it was... So it's my unlucky elder sister who's back. You're already married. The affairs of our Feng Mansion are none of your business, an outsider!"
The voice came before the person.
This arrogant and annoying voice could only belong to her half - sister Feng Manshu.
Feng Yunshu turned her head and glanced at Feng Manshu who was walking up. It was obvious that she had dressed up carefully today. She was wearing silk and satin all over, and there were many precious hairpins and jade hairpins in her hair bun. She had really tried hard to dress up.
Both the first lady and Prime Minister Feng were good - looking, so Feng Manshu was also good - looking. However, her over - dressing was too much. Especially when standing face to face with Feng Yunshu, the contrast was obvious, and she was much inferior in terms of temperament.
Feng Manshu seemed to quickly realize her shortcoming. Her face darkened a bit. She frowned and glanced at Feng Yunshu, but when her eyes swept over Helan Yanting beside her, she was slightly surprised.
It was the first time she had seen Helan Yanting in white clothes. This elegant and handsome young man made Feng Manshu can't help looking at him a few more times.
Feng Yunshu noticed Feng Manshu's scrutiny of Helan Yanting and felt inexplicably annoyed. She silently stepped forward and blocked Feng Manshu's sight.
"Manshu, your mouth is still as stinky as ever after a few days. When I just entered the mansion, I was still complaining to the prince about what had happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as I entered, there was a barking dog, and there was a sour smell. How can people live in such an environment?"
Saying this, Feng Yunshu frowned and covered her nose and mouth, looking at Feng Manshu across with a look of disgust. Then she turned to Helan Yanting and said,
"My lord, I suggest you cover your nose and mouth too. You're not in good health. What if you faint after smelling this smell?"
Helan Yanting looked at Feng Yunshu, who was acting seriously beside him, and nodded very cooperatively. He also covered his nose and mouth. "You're right, wife."
Looking at the husband and wife acting on the stage, the unmarried Feng Manshu not only suffered a critical blow from the "dog food", but also was so angry that she was about to explode.
"You, what do you two mean?! So you came back to the mansion today just to pick a fight?"
"Humph, I've long expected that you would come back for no good. I just didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful white - eyed wolf. After all, you grew up here. You ate and used my father's things. Now that you're married, you slander like this."
Feng Manshu's words were full of thorns. She scolded Feng Yunshu with a sneering face. Feng Yunshu found her words really funny.
"What do you mean by 'your father'? Don't you forget that I'm the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, while you're just a concubine - born daughter. No matter how beautifully you dress up, you can't change your concubine - born status. Do you understand?"
Feng Yunshu fought back without mercy, with disdain all over her face.
