" Father, I've lost face for you…" Wang Chen felt so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Wang Lin. It was all his fault, causing his father to be demoted.
"Chen 'er, it's good that you can recognize your mistakes. Just remember not to make them again in the future. In the future, he had to deal with everything cleanly. He could not be soft-hearted towards the enemy. He had to do things carefully. He could not be bitten back like this time.”Wang Lin's first sentence made people feel that he was reprimanding Wang Chen for doing those bad things. However, after hearing it, they realized that the father and son were the same. They had a human face and a beast's heart.
" Father, do I still have a future…" Wang Chen didn't think much of Wang Lin's words. After what happened today, whether he could still survive in the harsh weather outside the pass was still a problem, let alone the future.
"Father, Mother, I don't want to go outside the pass, I won't go!”Wang Hanxue said emotionally," Father, Mother, you must have a way to save me and Big Brother, right? Am I right?"
Wang Hanxue seemed to have grasped onto a glimmer of hope. She grabbed Qian Ying's sleeve tightly, her face filled with madness.
"Little sister, don't be so agitated. Let go first. You're hurting mother.”Wang Chen's sharp eyes noticed that Qian Ying's expression was a little unnatural. She must have been hurt by Wang Hanxue's claws. However, he did not shake off Wang Hanxue's hand. He only looked at Wang Hanxue lovingly, trying to comfort her and calm her down.
"Xiao Xue, calm down first. Don't worry so much. You and your brother will be fine. Your father has a way to save you.”Qian Ying calmed Wang Hanxue's agitated emotions." Husband, quickly tell Chen 'er and Xiaoxue…" Qian Ying signaled Wang Lin with her eyes.
" These are the Two-Class Turtle Breath Pills. You two must keep them well..." Wang Chen handed the two precious pills to his two children and began to explain his plan to them." You will be escorted to the outside of the pass tomorrow. I've bribed the jailer who escorted you. You should go on your way first. When the time is right, take the Turtle Breath Pills and fake your death. I will send people to protect you on the way." After you fake your deaths, I will get these people to pick you up and bring you back. And Snowy, you must listen to your brother and not be willful!”
"Don't tell me father can't save us directly?”Wang Hanxue still didn't want to go outside the pass. It would be best if she could leave this broken place immediately.
"This is an imperial edict personally issued by the emperor. Father has no choice but to make you suffer first.”Wang Lin said.
" I understand. I will listen to you, big brother…" Wang Hanxue said dejectedly.
" Chen 'er, you must take good care of your sister…" Qian Ying reminded him.
"Chen 'er understands." Wang Chen nodded his head firmly. Thinking that he was not at the end of his rope, he felt a little more at ease.
"Chen 'er, Xiao Xue, I brought you your favorite dishes. You guys eat first. " I don't know when you'll be able to eat after tomorrow…" Qian Ying wiped the tears off her face and took out the vegetables from the food box.
Wang Chen and Wang Hanxue's lives were now guaranteed, but a low pressure still hung over the Wang Clan. There was nothing to be happy about.
The news of Wang Chen and Wang Hanxue being locked up in the Elder's Mansion spread throughout the capital within a few hours. Everyone knew about it, and Feng Qi and the others also knew about it…
"I didn't expect Ye Qiannan to be so fast. But how did he report this matter to the imperial court?”Feng Qi's men were lying on the bed recuperating, but the news of the Wang Clan's shocking change had reached his ears without missing a single word. However, he was curious about Ye Qiannan's ability to take over the Emperor's hands and get rid of Wang Chen and Wang Hanxue so legitimately.
" Feng 'er, what are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought…" Ye Qiannan appeared in Feng Qi's bedroom without anyone noticing, giving Feng Qi a fright.
"Why don't you make any sound when you walk? Don't you know that scaring people will scare them to death? Also, this is my room. How can you enter and leave a lady's bedroom as you please? Don't you know that men and women should not be intimate?”Although Feng Qi's words were rude, she didn't chase Ye Qiannan away.
" Feng 'er, don't forget that you're now a woman disguised as a man. Others won't think that men and women should not be intimate. They will only think that behind our brotherhood, don't you think so…" Ye Qiannan's smile was full of charm, causing the world to pale in comparison.
Ye Qiannan naturally sat down by Feng Qi's bed and lifted Feng Qi's blanket. However, Feng Qi grabbed him tightly and asked nervously,""What are you doing?"
" I just wanted to apply medicine for you. This is a scar removal ointment. After applying it on the whip wound, there won't be any scars left…" Ye Qiannan said innocently.
"You don't have to apply medicine for me. There's a difference between men and women! Put the ointment down, I'll apply it myself!”Feng Qi was speechless. Did Ye Qiannan not treat her as a woman or did he have ulterior motives…
Ye Qiannan was only scaring Feng Qi and didn't really want to apply the ointment for Feng Qi, so he casually placed the ointment beside Feng Qi's pillow and said,"" Then Feng 'er, don't forget to apply it. It's not good if there are scars on your body. Be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future…But I won't despise you, Feng' er…"
" I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you..." Feng Qi rolled her eyes." But I'm very curious. How did you bring the Wang family's matter to the court? I didn't expect you to be so generous..."
" I know someone in the imperial court who happens to have a grudge against the Wang Clan, so I did him a favor and told him about this…" Ye Qiannan said casually.
"Is that so? Is it that simple?" Feng Qi asked suspiciously.
" It's that simple…" Ye Qiannan said lightly.
The next day, Wang Chen and Wang Hanxue were escorted to the outside of the pass. Two months later, news came that Wang Chen and Wang Hanxue had died from the plague because they could not stand the bad weather. Their bodies were also burned on the spot, leaving no bones behind. Wang Lin and Qian Ying fainted when they heard the news. Wang Lin was seriously ill and took a month of sick leave. He did not attend court and even held a dignified funeral for his children.
Regardless of whether the people in the court were Wang Lin's good friends or his mortal enemies, whether they were sincere or not, they all paid a visit to Wang Lin's residence to express their condolences. The Emperor also felt sorry for Wang Lin because of this news, and because the Crown Prince's people reported that Wang Lin had sincerely changed in the past two months and had contributed a lot to the court, hoping to restore Wang Lin's original position. The Emperor also saw Wang Lin's hard work, so he agreed to promote Wang Lin's position. However, he was promoted to the fifth rank, which was still one rank away from the fourth rank when he was demoted.
"Qiannan, do you think the news of Wang Chen and Wang Hanxue's deaths is reliable?”Feng Qi frowned, doubting the credibility of this news.
"I've already sent Dongfang to investigate. I believe there will be news soon. " Feng 'er, do you also think that this is too much of a coincidence? Is it…" Ye Qiannan was suspicious the moment he heard this news. How could it be so coincidental that Wang Chen and his sister had fallen seriously ill just two months after they left?
"Qian Nan, you're very fast. No wonder I haven't seen Dongfang recently. Look at how worried our Linyu is.”With Ye Qiannan's help in this matter, Feng Qi could temporarily relax and take the opportunity to make fun of Lin Yu.
"Young Master!" Lin Yu blushed when Feng Qi pointed out her worries. She twisted her waist coquettishly and found an excuse to leave." I'll go get some snacks..."
" I didn't expect Dongfang to be so good at wooing people. My Linyu is interested in Dongfang…" Feng Qi was happy for Lin Yu. Two months ago, she and Lin Yu had both gotten intimate. Dongfang Li had come to report for duty two days ago. He took good care of Lin Yu, making others envious.
In the past two months, Feng Qi had seen how much Dongfang Li cared for Lin Yu. She could also feel that Dongfang Li really liked Lin Yu, and Lin Yu also had a good impression of Dongfang Li. Feng Qi was positive about Dongfang Li's character, so she didn't make things difficult for him. As long as Dongfang Li's feelings for Lin Yu were real, she wanted to let the two of them go with the flow. She wouldn't interfere too much. However, if Dongfang Li only wanted to play with Lin Yu, then even if Ye Qiannan came forward, he would not let him off easily.
"Feng 'er, how are your injuries?”This was Ye Qiannan's daily question. He was very concerned about Feng Qi's injuries.
"It's already healed. Your ointment is very effective. It didn't leave any scars.”It was only when Feng Qi used it that she realized that the ointment Ye Qiannan gave her was the Condensing Jade Dew that she had used before. It was very effective in repairing scars.
He remembered that when he first came to this world, his beautiful mother had specially gone to look for Ning Yulu in order to not leave any scars on him. Moreover, the ingredients used to make this Frozen Jade Dew were extremely precious, and the production process was also very complicated. It would already be quite good if one bottle of it was intact out of a thousand bottles. For Ye Qiannan to give such a precious thing to her without even blinking, it seemed like he really cared about her.
"Feng 'er, I'm relieved to hear that.”Ye Qiannan was very happy that Feng Qi could use his things. He felt that their relationship had become closer.
Although Feng Qi had been in bed for more than a month, she still did what she had to do. Although Biyue was very worried about Feng Qi and Lin Yu's injuries, Feng Qi had given a firm order for Biyue to focus on the business of Don't Know Fire and not worry about them.
Heaven rewards those who put in the effort. With the joint efforts of Biyue and everyone, Unknown Fire had already opened half a month ago. In the beginning, everyone knew little about hotpot. They were curious but did not dare to try it, afraid that hotpot would not taste good and they would spend money unjustly. They lacked interest and did not have a smooth business in Morga City. Later, Feng Qi made some adjustments and launched a three-day tasting event. During these three days, everything was free, but there was a limit to the quantity. First come, first served. Three days later, anyone who had eaten hotpot at Unknown Fire would appear at Unknown Fire's restaurant on the fourth day on time. Word of mouth spread like this, and soon, Unknown Fire's reputation became resounding. It was like thunder in the capital, and every household knew it. From ordinary people to central officials, they had eaten at Unknown Fire before, and they were all repeat customers.
"Today, in order to celebrate my recovery from my injuries, I'll treat you to some unknown fire.”Feng Qi had wanted to eat hotpot for a long time, but because she was injured and had to refrain from eating, she could only suppress the craving in her stomach. She didn't want to worsen her injury because of eating secretly. Most importantly, Ye Qiannan looked at her every day and took care of her like an old mother. Even if she wanted to secretly eat, she could only think about it.
