Chapter 4, Operate on Her

Kneeling in the ancestral hall, striking the palms, pinching the fingers, receiving lashes... There are countless such instances.

Feng Hongluan reached out and patted Qiao'er’s hand, signaling her not to be afraid and to remain silent

The Li Wang is graceful and elegant, and many distinguished young ladies aspire to marry him! Yet, this lowly maid dares to dream of climbing to the position of Li Wang's consort; it is simply a delusion! The Sixth Madam followed behind the two as they walked in.

Feng Hongluan coldly stared at the third madam, today she would take action against her

A faint glow of confidence radiated from her entire being. Just a glance, a calm word, made her believe that the young lady could truly protect herself and safeguard her.

Feng Hongluan cast a glance at Qiao'er from the corner of her eye; this little girl had been deceived over the years and was filled with an involuntary fear.

How did our residence end up with such a jinx

Qiao Er's small face had turned pale and translucent, tightly biting her lips, her pair of eyes red and swollen, angrily staring at the room full of women, her nails digging into Feng Hongluan's hand, yet she remained oblivious to it.

"What? You actually dare to tell us to get out? You shameless servant, are you rebelling today?" The third madam was the first to react, having been accustomed to bullying Feng Hongluan in the past. At this moment, she began to scream at her.

If it weren't for that wretched woman of hers, not to mention being engaged since childhood, she wouldn't even be worth a toe of the Li King... The Seventh Madam walked in alongside the Sixth Madam.

Upon receiving the calm words and serene gaze of Feng Hongluan, Qiao'er suddenly felt no fear. The young lady was still the same as before; she had always stayed by the young lady's side without leaving. However, there was always a sense that the young lady was somehow different.

Isn't it so, a daughter who brings such shame and disgrace, yet the master still supports her every day

Hearing the approaching footsteps, her expression grew even colder as she walked to the mirror and glanced indifferently at her reflection.

With a sound of "pa," accompanied by her cry, a porcelain cup fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces

Madam San felt her hands were damp, and immediately released the hand that was covering her forehead. Blood flowed down her nose bridge, splattering onto the ground and instantly staining a large area red.

"Oh, our Miss Feng San is awake? I thought she had been abandoned by the Glass King and would never wake up again!" A sharp female voice rang out, accompanied by a strong scent of powder. The third lady of the Prime Minister's residence, elegantly and gracefully, walked in.

The pain in her hand made Feng Hongluan sense the deep-seated hatred within Qiao'er

Immediately following, the ladies who were startled behind, along with their maids and servants, began to scream in unison

I said, how could the King of Glass possibly want her? Look, she hasn't even left the house and has already been divorced, right? Another sharp and high-pitched female voice came from behind the Third Madam; it was the Fifth Madam of the Prime Minister's residence.

With just a single sound of "Ah," it shattered the sky. Madame San instantly became a drenched chicken. Along with her, Madame Wu beside her, and Madame Liu and Madame Qi behind her all suffered the consequences

"Do not bother them, come over and wash your face." Feng Hongluan continued to walk towards the mirror, waving at Qiao'er.

Tomorrow, let the second elder sister speak to the noble lord about finding a family for marriage, so that our residence does not have to bear the burden of disappointment...

Having just taken two steps, she suddenly felt something flash before her eyes, and an object struck her forehead, causing her to cry out in pain.

In an instant, the sound of murder echoed throughout the entire residence of the Prime Minister, penetrating the dilapidated courtyard.

With a slight tilt of the head, she cast a warm glance at Qiao'er, then turned her gaze towards the door and coldly said: "Is that enough?"

A cold, emotionless statement instantly silenced the clamor within the small room

You... you truly have gone too far... how dare you splash water on me! You little wretch... just watch me... ah..." Lady San trembled as she pointed at Feng Hongluan, wiped the water off her face, and immediately lunged at her like a madwoman.

You have talked enough; now it is my turn to speak! Get out!" Feng Hongluan's gaze was indifferent as she swept around the room, glancing at each person's face. She did not see the second wife, who was in charge of the Prime Minister's residence, nor the most powerful fourth wife.

Qiao Er's face turned pale, and she immediately walked over to protect Feng Hongluan.

It must be acknowledged that she is an extraordinarily beautiful woman, undoubtedly deserving of the title of the most beautiful woman in the world. In her presence, those so-called modern divas are nothing but trash

"Not even stepping out of the house, I have already been dismissed. Where is the face of our Lord to be placed?" said Madam Ten

Her entire body, except for her face and a pair of hands, is in good condition. Almost covered in scars, there is not a single uninjured spot.

Do you all know how the capital is being talked about now? Oh dear, it's almost enough to make people laugh out our Prime Minister's big teeth

Feng Hongluan looked at herself in the mirror, listening expressionlessly all along. This was the treatment she had received intermittently over the past decade. Such words were still the mildest for her.

With a lift of her wrist, the basin of water that Qiao Er had just used to wash her face was splashed over.

Get lost! Don't make me say it a second time! Feng Hongluan coldly stated without even glancing at the group of chattering women.

Qiao'er was also taken aback. She looked at her young lady. She could not understand how, from such a distance, the young lady's hand could reach that basin of water

Well, this time the Li King has divorced her, and I fear that we in the Xiang residence will have to support her until she grows old

The cold words and indifferent expressions sent a chill through the hearts of those women, causing everyone to shudder. They looked at Feng Hongluan in astonishment and disbelief.

Ah... another scream echoed, as Fifth Madam pointed at the forehead that Third Madam was covering and shouted loudly.

Qiao'er immediately nodded and obediently walked to the basin to wash her face with clean water. However, upon hearing the footsteps and voices approaching, her body still trembled slightly

Once again, several sharp screams of "ah" rang out, and immediately those flamboyantly dressed women, adorned with makeup and hairpins, were thrown into chaos, each looking at Feng Hongluan in disbelief

They have lost all face, what more is there to discuss? The master is truly something, always protecting this lowly maid, and now she has brought disgrace to our Prime Minister's residence. It is truly laughable. How can our lord hold his head high in court now?" said Lady Eleven

Ah... murder..." Lady San looked at her bloodied hands in terror. She screamed again

"A lowly person is indeed a lowly person. No matter how you look at it, they resemble a cunning vixen. Fortunately, the wise King Li expelled them early on. If they had entered the gates of the King Li's residence, they would have sullied the place!" said the Twelfth Madam

I heard that Wang Yuanwai from Beicheng Street is going to marry his eighteenth concubine

"Come quickly, someone... someone has been murdered..." Lady Wu also cried out in terror.
