Xue Zi Ning looked at Feng Chang Shan. She knew he was deliberately saying this, wanting to lure her there.
"Alright?" Xue Zi Ning readily agreed.
Hadn't she also wanted to lure Feng Chang Shan away?
As they walked, Feng Chang Shan said, "Madam, if the official takes a concubine, what are your thoughts?"
"What thoughts does Lord Feng think I should have?" Xue Zi Ning asked, her gaze turning cold.
Feng Chang Shan chuckled softly. "It's normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Why should Madam care?"
"Others may have three wives and four concubines, but my man is not allowed to."
Feng Chang Shan sneered inwardly. He would let her see a scene that would make her cry soon enough.
"My lord, where are you taking me?" Xue Zi Ning asked, realizing they had walked a long way without reaching their destination.
"Madam, are you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of? I thought Lord Feng was the one who was afraid?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Feng Chang Shan sneered. What was there for him to fear?
They finally arrived at a courtyard. A maidservant seemed flustered, looking around expectantly.
Seeing this, Feng Chang Shan's heart rejoiced. It seemed the plan had succeeded.
He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Where is the young lady?"
Upon seeing Feng Chang Shan, the servant's legs turned to jelly. "L-Lord..."
"Where is the young lady?" Feng Chang Shan pressed.
The maidservant was already beside herself with fear. She knelt down with a thud. "My lord, forgive me, my lord, forgive me!"
Feng Chang Shan stepped forward, pushed open the door, and Xue Zi Ning followed. The moment she entered the room, she knew Yan Zhao had left. His presence was no longer here.
However, whose was the ambiguous scent in the room?
Feng Chang Shan, walking at the forefront, coughed upon seeing the scene. A soft, tender voice came from within.
"Chu Chu..." Feng Chang Shan commanded.
"F-Father..." Feng Chu Chu finally came to her senses. She rubbed her forehead and looked at the man beside her. Upon seeing his face, she instinctively covered her mouth.
Feng Chang Shan, thinking his daughter was doing this intentionally, coldly shouted, "Envoy Yan, are you here?"
"Don't come over," Feng Chu Chu warned.
Feng Chang Shan was startled. She didn't want him to come over?
Did she want him to come over instead?
At this moment, Xue Zi Ning stepped forward and angrily said, "Yan Zhao, you ungrateful, treacherous wretch! Today, I'll see if you dare to be with other women behind my back."
Feng Chang Shan instinctively tried to stop her, but he was no match for Xue Zi Ning's speed. She pulled down the curtain.
Just then, a voice came from behind, "My dear wife, why do you have so little faith in me? How could I possibly betray you?"
Feng Chang Shan froze. This voice? He slowly turned around and saw that the envoy was right behind him.
Suddenly, his head buzzed. This was the envoy, so who was lying on his daughter's bed?
Feng Chang Shan turned to look at his daughter Feng Chu Chu's bed. The man looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall who it was for a moment.
"Brother, you..." A little maidservant, peeking out from behind Xue Zi Ning, covered her mouth.
Xue Zi Ning took a closer look and recognized him. Wasn't this Liang Yi Zhi?
With matters having come to this, Feng Chang Shan also recognized the man and flew into a rage. "Someone, seize him!"
Liang Yi Zhi awoke to find himself tied up, unable to use his martial arts.
He was greatly alarmed, especially seeing his disheveled state. He was curious, what had he done?
"The Feng family has matters to attend to today. Everyone, please depart. The steward will see you out," Feng Chang Shan said, suppressing his anger.
Seeing this, everyone knew something was amiss. It seemed the Prefect Feng had shot himself in the foot.
Xue Zi Ning and Yan Zhao did not leave. Prefect Feng saw this and coldly asked, "Envoy Yan, what is the meaning of this?"
"Prefect Feng asks what he already knows," Yan Zhao replied coldly.
Feng Chang Shan, knowing he was in the wrong, could only swallow his pride. He gave a wry smile. "Envoy Yan, my daughter has some personal matters today, and I fear she won't be able to attend to you. I kindly ask Envoy Yan to take your leave, and I will invite you another day."
Yan Zhao nodded. "In that case, this official will take his leave."
He looked at Xue Zi Ning. Xue Zi Ning nodded. Liang Yi Han wanted to stay, but Xue Zi Ning forcibly took her away.
Outside the Prefect Feng's mansion, Liang Yi Han said, "Madam, please save my brother, save my brother!"
"How did Young Master Liang end up in Miss Feng's bed?" This was truly beyond Xue Zi Ning's expectations.
Yan Zhao said, "I don't know either. However, since Young Master Liang and Miss Feng have had this liaison, Young Master Liang's safety should not be a concern for now. We can discuss further when we return."
Xue Zi Ning nodded. Although Liang Yi Han wanted to say that it would be better to rescue her brother now, she had no one, and couldn't even get into Prefect Feng's mansion. She could only follow Madam.
"What exactly is going on?" Feng Chang Shan was so angry he almost smashed the table.
Feng Chu Chu wept profusely. She didn't know what was happening either. How did the esteemed Envoy Yan turn into another man?
"Think carefully, where did something go wrong?" Hearing his daughter Feng Chu Chu only cry when faced with trouble, he had lost all patience.
"Father, I don't know either." Feng Chu Chu truly didn't know. When she woke up, her father had already brought people into the room.
Feng Chang Shan was so furious he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at his still crying daughter and said, "Stop crying. You are not to leave the house for the next few days. Stay at home. I will find you a suitable marriage and have you married off quickly."
Feng Chu Chu shook her head. "No, Father, I don't want to marry just anyone. I..."
"Forget about Envoy Yan. You have lost your chastity. Do you think Envoy Yan would still want you?"
Feng Chang Shan sighed. His perfect plan had been ruined just like that.
How could he not be angry? How could he not be resentful?
However, when he calmed down, he felt something was amiss. How did Envoy Yan escape his plan?
He had watched Envoy Yan drink the drugged wine with his own eyes. The dosage was extraordinary. Unless there was an antidote, he wouldn't have been unaffected.
Unless he had foreseen this?
How did Liang Yi Zhi also arrive at the mansion?
All of this was like a puzzle.
Feng Chang Shan stood up and coldly said, "To the prison."
In the prison, Liang Yi Zhi sat motionless, bewildered. How had he ended up in the bed of his enemy's daughter? And had a liaison with her?
He felt despicable.
He could not face the ancestors of the Liang family, nor his wrongfully deceased father, and he had also failed his sister.
His dream had also shattered.
The prison door was opened, and Liang Yi Zhi looked up to see Feng Chang Shan standing there. Anger surged within him. "Feng Chang Shan, avenge my father..."
