FID – Chapter 764

Chapter 764: Feng Qingbai is just a quack

The guests were utterly confused by this sudden change, unable to understand what Feng Qingbai had said to his father-in-law that made him change his attitude so quickly.

Even Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu were stunned. Because there were guests present, they could only grit their teeth and mutter under their breath, “Isn’t this embarrassing enough? This is our Nannan’s wedding banquet, you need to stay quiet! If you cause any more trouble, I… I’ll… I’ll beat you to death!”

Only Liu Zhixia, standing beside Liu Dalin, heard Feng Qingbai’s words. His mouth twitched, and his face darkened.

——Father, do you want a granddaughter who is as well-behaved and delicate as Shensheng when she was a child? You can’t rely on Zhixia for that; the high monk from the Royal Temple said Zhixia is destined to only have sons. If you want a granddaughter like Shensheng, you’ll have to rely on me. If you let me take Shensheng today, by the time we return next year, it might be three of us—maybe even four. Sweet and soft, just like a little Nannan, like Shensheng. Think about it!

To make his father-in-law happy, he even had to use him as a pawn, bringing in high monks from the Royal Temple!

As the person involved, Feng Qingbai couldn’t help but feel pissed—he had never even set foot in a royal temple in his life! Where did this high monk come from, declaring that he was only fated to have sons?!

Feng Qingbai is just a quack!

“The auspicious time has arrived, let’s not delay the children. Let’s set off,” Grandpa Liu stood up, leading the way out, wanting to avoid the sight of his reddened eyes from the large family behind him. “Axiu is right. There are passenger ships now, and it only takes ten days to get to the capital. If the kids are too busy to return, we’ll just go visit them. Why is everyone crying like this?”

“Let’s go, let’s go. It’s not like we won’t be coming back. When we get to the capital, there will be big celebrations there. The people from our family can’t go, so once we get there, you’ll have to handle things, Axiu,” his wife added.

“I’ll take care of it, Grandma,” Feng Qingbai said, tightly holding the woman’s hand to ensure she could follow him with peace of mind. Amid the congratulations from the guests, he walked slowly toward the exit with his new bride.

There was a slight stir among the guests near the entrance. Feng Qingbai noticed it, but subtly gave a signal to the shadow guards, maintaining his calm expression.

Liu Zhixia, Liu Zhiqiu, and Qian Wanjin followed closely behind Feng Qingbai, and naturally, they noticed the unusual situation over there. However, at this moment, no one paid much attention to the small matter.

With Feng Qingbai around, nothing would go wrong.

The person who absolutely couldn’t tolerate any disruption at the wedding banquet was him.

Before the newlyweds arrived, Wei Lan and Wei Hong went ahead to clear a path, parting the crowded guests to make way.

Among those following Wei Hong was Wang-shi, as well as Chen Xiuying and the two young girls who had visited the Liu family before.

Upon seeing them, Grandma Liu’s face immediately darkened, though she didn’t speak due to the occasion.

In contrast to her, Chen Xiulan’s expression was even more unpleasant.

As for attending Nannan’s wedding banquet, Chen Xiuying was her elder sister, and it wasn’t as if she couldn’t allow her to come, but she came not only by herself, but also brought along her two nieces. What was that about? They weren’t even her real daughters!

If she claimed not to have any ulterior motives, who would believe it?

“Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, Uncle, Aunt, don’t send us off. I’ll send word when we arrive in the capital, and from now on, I’ll take care of Shengsheng.”

“Liu Yusheng bids farewell to grandpa and grandma, father and mother, and Uncle and Aunt.”

The newlyweds bid farewell once more, and the festive decorated carriage, led by the shadow guards, was brought over and stopped behind them. Feng Qingbai assisted the woman into the carriage first, then turned to salute once again.

In the crowd, Chen Xiuying and her two nieces kept their eyes locked tightly on Feng Qingbai.

Noble and elegant, he exuded an air of refinement and authority, every gesture radiating the aura of someone in a superior position.

This was the King of Nanling, Feng Qingbai.

A presence that ordinary people could only look up to.

Seeing that the man was about to board the carriage after his salute, the two young girls pushed Chen Xiuying forcefully, signaling her to seize the opportunity.

Chen Xiuying hesitated, gritted her teeth, and opened her mouth to call out to him. However, just as she was about to speak, the person preparing to get into the carriage suddenly looked over and their eyes met.

His long, narrow eyes, dark and deep, were devoid of any emotion or expression, but the gaze was enough to freeze her in place as if she had fallen into an ice cave! Her lips felt cold!

Just one look!

The words that were on the tip of her tongue were instantly silenced, and no sound could escape her. Instead, she stumbled backward in panic.

Even after the man had boarded the carriage, and the curtain shielded his figure, the chill he had left still lingered in the air.

The sounds of joy returned, and the firecrackers continued to explode, as the carriage was joyfully sent off.

The air was thick with smoke, the sulfuric scent of the firecrackers lingering in the atmosphere.

The newlyweds had left, and the banquet was just beginning. The guests took their seats one by one, continuing the celebration.

Among the guests, there was a small group of people who were completely out of place, whispering complaints and curses.

“What exactly are you here for? You can’t even handle something so simple, stupid and clumsy like a pig!”

“You’re so useless. I should’ve never trusted you! When we get back, I’ll definitely tell Uncle about how you deceived us again! Let him take care of you properly!”

“It’s not like we’re asking you to beg for favors, just get the King to ease up a bit and let us sisters work as maids in the palace. You’re not asking for gold or silver. All you needed to do was speak up, and the King can’t possibly refuse. Who wouldn’t want two maids for free? You’re clearly just jealous of us!”

“I really don’t know how Uncle ever saw anything good in someone like you! You’re a poisonous woman!”

Chen Xiulan and Du Juan walked arm in arm, passing behind the table where this conversation was happening. They overheard everything, but there was no reaction on their faces. They didn’t even glance at the woman who had been insulted, her face turning dry from the verbal assault, and simply walked past.

Chen Xiuying also saw them and opened her mouth, stammering, “Xiulan, I…”

But they had already passed by, without responding. It was unclear whether they hadn’t heard her or were simply ignoring her.

Not long after Chen Xiulan left, as the villagers were helping to serve the food, one of them accidentally tripped while passing by the table. A large tray of soup splashed all over the two young girls, scalding them so badly that they cried out in pain, drenched and in a mess.

In the end, they borrowed two sets of women’s clothes from Chen Xiulan to change into, and left without even getting a chance to eat at the wedding banquet.

Outside the kitchen, Shi Xianrou had her arm draped over Liu Muqiu’s shoulder. “Little White Lotus, this trick of yours doesn’t have much novelty.”

“It works, that’s all that matters.”

“True, though, being drenched in soup and water, tsk-tsk, trying to borrow clothes but couldn’t find anyone, they had to ask the elders of the Liu family in the end. And those elders aren’t fond of dressing up, they prioritize clothes that are durable and dirt-resistant… What a shame for them, after all the effort they put into their delicate makeup today.”

Liu Muqiu immediately scoffed, raising her chin. “A smear of bright red on their faces is considered delicate makeup? I’d rather never wear makeup for the rest of my life. Besides, my clothes were all personally made by Grandma and Aunt, I wouldn’t lend them to anyone.”

“Ah, look at you being so pleased with yourself. As if I don’t know, you’re mixing public and private matters, jealous for no reason.”

“Knowing I’m mixing public and private matters, yet still helping me. Xianrou, you’re truly wonderful!”

“Of course, hahahaha!”

The girls laughed as they blended back into the joyous banquet, while the people who had left were entirely unaware of this little incident.

Meanwhile, inside the carriage heading toward the Yunzhou manor, the atmosphere was filled with sweetness.
