FID – Chapter 548

  Chapter 548: You Are Not Kind

  The place where they were talking was not too far from the front door.

  Grandpa Liu’s voice was loud and could be heard faintly from outside.

  Liu Ningfei’s hatred quickly flashed through her eyes. She threw herself on her knees and cried, “Your Majesty, please be merciful. Your Majesty, please be merciful! The Patriarch of the Liu clan is wrong, but the clansmen are innocent. The place of exile is punishing. Once the clansmen get there, they will definitely struggle to survive. That accounts to hundreds of lives! Your Majesty, please be merciful! Please be merciful!”

  Feng Mohan was downright disgusted, frowned and shouted, “Hurry up and take her away! Weeping and clamoring in front of my bedchamber. What are the imperial guards doing?!”

  The emperor’s bedchamber was heavily guarded. No one should have let Liu Ningfei get through!

  Thinking of this, Feng Mohan’s eyes darken. Sooner or later he would rectify the commander of the imperial guards!

  The boy scolded sharply, and his disgust was beyond words.

  Liu Ningfei’s heart sank.

  Two eunuchs had already walked towards her, ready to pick her up and drag her away.

  She came here to make a fuss, and was driven away without even seeing the Emperor. This would only make His Majesty hate her even more.

  No!

  ”Your Majesty, this concubine knows that Your Majesty’s decree is golden, and it is impossible to change it. The Patriarch has deceived Your Majesty, and his crime is unforgivable. However, the rest of the family are innocent! My family has an old man in his eighties and young children waiting to be fed! How can they survive in exile? They’re all lives! I’ve heard that the Elder Liu and Elder Madam Liu are kind-hearted people, so this concubine begs you to plead for His Majesty’s mercy. The Heavens care for every living being. You will certainly be blessed with good fortune and long lives!”

  The weeping outside the door was mournful and shrill, as if bleeding while crying.

  Seeing how the elders suddenly fell silent, Feng Mohan’s face became extremely ugly.

  Liu Ningfei was sure that his grandpa and grandma were soft-hearted, so she purposely said this in front of him. If they refuse to intercede, they would have to bear hundreds of lives in the future. With their temperament, how could they live with peace of mind?

  Feng Mohan closed his eyes. If grandpa and grandma really asked for mercy, he would have to agree.

  Liu Ningfei was sure of this, so she dared to come to the front of his bedchamber and deliver such an emotional speech, playing such tricks!

  However, it didn’t matter. Even if she succeeded in her plan this time, in the future, he would never let her have it easy either!

  He could always return the grievance this time!

  Thinking of this, Feng Mohan was about to speak, but he saw Grandpa Liu waving his hand at him, suppressing what he wanted to say.

  The grandpa and grandma supported each other, walked to the door, looked at the girl who was still struggling in the hands of the eunuch, and sighed.

  ”Little girl, the Liu clan is all to blame for their current predicament. Your patriarch made a big mistake, and it, in turn, harmed hundreds of people in your family. Instead of begging us here and wishing us good fortune and long life, why don’t you go and question your patriarch? Why didn’t he care about the lives of everyone in the clan and insisted on coveting things that didn’t belong to him?”

  ”It’s useless for you to beg us, because our family is the victim. You’re asking the victim to sympathize with you and intercede for your family. I don’t see a shred of kindness in your way. Instead, you are forcing us to be kind. What should you call a mind like yours?” Grandma Liu also added, “His Majesty’s decision has been made clear, both right and wrong. Whoever made the mistake will bear the consequences. You didn’t participate and His Majesty didn’t punish you along with them. You should be grateful. People should be content. Stop scheming against others. I hope you will behave yourself in the future.”

  Liu Ningfei stopped struggling at once, and looked at the two old people standing at the gate of the bedchamber in disbelief.

  Even if they were dressed in silk and satin, they couldn’t hide the smell of mud on their bodies.

  They were just two ignorant peasants who have never seen the world. How could they say such a thing?

  It seemed like they had seen through her mind thoroughly!

  Liu Dalin and Chen Xiulan also came out, and happened to capture the disbelief on her face. Even if she quickly withdrew her expression, she couldn’t hide it from the penetrating eyes of her audience.

  Liu Dalin frowned. “Little girl, if you can live a good life, live it well. As long as you are content with your lot, His Majesty will certainly not treat you badly. Do away with these little tricks. Although we are country bumpkins without much knowledge, that does not mean we are stupid. We are indeed kindhearted people, but our kindness also depends on the recipient.”

  ”No, I don’t have any other thoughts…” Liu Ningfei defended palely.

  Chen Xiulan interrupted her and asked with a smile, “If you didn’t have any wicked thoughts, why did you come to beg us? We are not the only ones who can speak to His Majesty, but also the King of Nanling and his words carry more weight than ours. Why didn’t you approach him?”

  Liu Ningfei’s pale face turned even whiter.

  She didn’t know how to respond to the country woman’s questioning.

  Behind, Feng Mohan’s dark complexion cleared up, and even a toothy grin appeared on his face.

  The response of the elders was beyond his expectation. They were wise and transparent beyond his imagination.

  No wonder people always said that the elders in a family were like treasures.

  The four in front of him were all treasures, and he must protect them meticulously.

  Liu Yusheng and Feng Qingbai had already returned from the back of the palace, and at this time they happened to be standing not far from Liu Ningfei, watching the commotion from beginning to end.

  For Liu Ningfei’s actions, Liu Yusheng found it extremely funny. She had seen countless similar things in postmodern times.

  We are so innocent and pitiful. If you don’t help us, you are not kind. It was a vain attempt to bind others with this sentence and let others lend a helping hand.

  In postmodern terms, this was called moral kidnapping.

  Regardless of time and space, there was no shortage of such people.

  Feng Qingbai led his little girl and walked forward leisurely.

  Liu Ningfei also saw him when she turned her head. Her pupils narrowed sharply, and a shudder burst out in her heart unconsciously.

  Feng Qingbai’s aura kindled her fear.

  She even subconsciously felt that as long as this man appeared, she would definitely not end well!

  This person’s heart and mind was more frightening than the emotions that Feng Mohan revealed on the outside.

  Feng Qingbai stopped a few steps away from Liu Ningfei, and his long and narrow eyes glanced lightly at her.

  The two eunuchs who were dragging Liu Ningfei immediately released their hands and bowed to salute him, but Liu Ningfei took two steps back unconsciously.

  Even if she forced herself to remain calm, she couldn’t restrain the wariness and fear of this man in her heart.

  ”Concubine Ning has a deep relationship with her family. She pleads for her family and her pure filial piety is admirable. Since this is the case, Your Majesty should let her go.”

  Feng Qingbai’s words surprised everyone around him, and they didn’t understand what he meant.

  With his character, he would definitely not show mercy.

  Feng Mohan blinked, and came out from behind. “Since Imperial Uncle pleads for Concubine Ning, then I will give him respect. I wonder how Imperial Uncle wants me to give her a way out?”
