The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

There was quite a commotion today, and the people who were watching the show stayed far away.

Shen Baozhao also got off the carriage and disappeared into the crowd.

In the center, a woman in red riding clothes and holding a whip was seen swinging the whip fiercely at a man in a red robe.

If you ignore the tense atmosphere, both of them are wearing red clothes, and it looks like they are about to get married.

The last time she saw that man, Shen Baozhao, he was still in the Ning'an Marquis's residence. She had a particularly deep memory of him.

Apart from his nonchalant appearance, he also extorted 12,000 taels of silver from Mr. Shen.

He is the elder brother of Princess Duanning, Xue Sheng.

That’s right, the Princess’s Mansion paid thirty thousand taels to buy the farm from Master Shen. When the deed was returned, Master Shen paid back forty thousand taels of silver, so the sacrificial land was also sold.

He dodged left and right, defending but not attacking. The red-dressed woman was furious and attacked even more fiercely.

The last whip came out and slashed across the back of Xue Sheng's left hand, causing him to feel a burning pain. He then controlled the opponent's whip with his right hand, making him unable to move.

And she scolded him angrily: "Feng Feiyan, did you take the wrong medicine today? Can't you see it if I let you see it?"

The woman called Feng Feiyan had tears in her eyes and her face blushed with shame.

"Who asked you to give in, you idiot who can't tell right from wrong!"

Xue Sheng laughed angrily: "I can't tell right from wrong, I think you are unreasonable.

Look around the capital, are there any young ladies like you, arrogant and domineering, whipping people at every turn? "

On the other side of Xue Sheng stood a girl, she was wearing a light pink dress with cloud patterns embroidered on it. Her sleeves were blown by the wind, she looked like a fairy from Yaochi.

With a look of heartache, he pulled Xue Sheng's right hand and bandaged it with the handkerchief in his hand.

The tone was pleasant and pleasant: "Xue Lang, I believe Miss Feng is just in a bad mood today and she didn't mean to cause trouble to me."

"Miss Feng, I apologize to you. Please don't make things difficult for Xue Lang." After saying this, he bowed to Feng Feiyan, looking extremely humble.

Feng Feiyan became even angrier when she saw this, and she cursed, "Xue Sheng, you are a blind scum."

"And you, you think too highly of yourself. I don't even know you, why would I bother you?"

Xue Sheng sided with him: "Of course it's because Miss Shishi is prettier and more talented than you."

"You are simply sick!" Feng Feiyan was no match for Xue Sheng in a verbal battle.

But Xue Sheng seemed not to want to continue arguing with her, so he took Miss Shishi and left.

The girl Shishi, who had just been so weak that she couldn't take care of herself, turned around and gave Feng Feiyan a mocking smile.

Feng Feiyan stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

When the onlookers saw Xue Sheng leave, they also dispersed.

Only then did Shen Baozhao see Cui Mingzhu was also there, with a child named Goudan from the charity hall.

When Cui Mingzhu saw Shen Baozhao, she hurried forward to explain: "Baozhao, this girl got into a conflict with others just to help us."

Then he pulled Goudan to express his gratitude to Feng Feiyan: "Thank you, young lady. Otherwise, we would have been blackmailed today."

Cui Mingzhu explained the whole story to Shen Baozhao in a few words.

It turned out that after Goudan was beaten by the Third Young Master Qiao last time, Shen Baozhao had found someone to treat him, but he was not fully recovered and still had a persistent cough these days.

Cui Mingzhu took him to see a doctor, and somehow they ran into Miss Shishi. She insisted that Goudan had soiled her brocade clothes and demanded compensation of fifty taels.

Feng Feiyan happened to be passing by on horseback, so she spoke up and told what she saw. In fact, it was Miss Shishi who bumped into Goudan because she was not careful when walking, and she turned the tables on him.

She was so angry that she argued with Miss Shishi, and happened to run into Xue Sheng. This is what Shen Baozhao saw.

Feng Feiyan smiled bitterly and said, "No, if Miss Shishi sees Xue Sheng, she will not dare to embarrass you any more.

Otherwise, how could she maintain her integrity in Xue Sheng's heart?"

"And I already have an old grudge against Xue Sheng. No matter who I argue with, he always thinks it's my fault."

Shen Baozhao picked up the whip that fell on the ground and returned it to Feng Feiyan.

He patted Goudan's head and said, "Anyway, you helped my friend and the kid out today."

"I accept your kindness. Shen Baozhao, the fourth daughter of the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion, may I ask which family you are from?"

When Shen Baozhao saw that she was familiar with Xue Sheng, he knew that she was not from a small family.

Feng Feiyan was not the domineering person that Xue Sheng described her as. She also liked Shen Baozhao's straightforwardness.

He replied, "General's Mansion, Feng Feiyan."

Wait, the General's Mansion? Isn't that the home of Jie Ling's classmate and friend? Shen Baozhao didn't forget the boy who took Jie Ling to the Colosseum.

"Who is Feng Feiyang to you?" Shen Baozhao was curious. Could it be such a coincidence?

Feng Feiyan was also confused: "It's my brother."

It turned out to be true. Shen Baozhao was very happy. "My brother Shen Jieling is your brother's classmate and friend."

Cui Mingzhu saw that the two seemed to hit it off and couldn't stop talking. So she stopped them and said, "You two, it's not very convenient on the street with so many people coming and going."

"Why don't we go to the charity hall and sit down and talk it out?"

Seeing that everyone passing by looked at them a few more times, Shen Baozhao nodded, and they went to the charity hall together.

Aunt Li saw Shen Baozhao bringing another girl back. She thought to herself, Miss Shen is really kind and kind, and she took in anyone in need.

She served the three girls tea with a smile and then left.

Shen Baozhao was thinking about the General's Mansion that she knew in her previous life.

That was a perfect example of favoring a concubine over his wife. Feng Feiyan's siblings were all legitimate, including Consort Hui in the palace, and the three of them had the same mother.

It was a pity that although Concubine Hui gave birth to the fifth prince, he was born with a leg disease. Emperor Chengde did not like her, and only gave her the title of Concubine Hui because of her title of General Guarding the Nation.

The general's mansion had a concubine who was General Feng's cousin. The bastard was about the same age as Feng Feiyan, but older than Feng Feiyang.

General Feng wanted his concubine's son to be the crown prince, but he was hesitant because of Feng Feiyan's maternal grandfather, the Lu family of Fanyang.

I guess the life of these siblings in the mansion is very difficult.

Shen Baozhao couldn't help but feel a little pity for Feng Feiyan's stubborn character.

The eldest sister had already married and the younger brother was still young, so in order to avoid being bullied he had to stand up.

Even if, as Xue Sheng said, everyone in Kyoto thought she was arrogant, there was nothing she could do about it, because she had no one to rely on.

Feng Feiyan also lay listlessly on the table, no longer having the arrogance she had when she cracked a whip in the street.

"Fei Yan, what's wrong with you?" Shen Baozhao asked with concern.

Feng Feiyan had a big fight with General Feng before leaving the house today, and she was already in a bad mood. And when she ran into Xue Sheng, who didn't know what she was talking about, she felt that life was hopeless.

There were many things that were inconvenient to tell her younger brother, and she couldn't go into the palace at any time. The eldest sister couldn't take care of herself, so how could she cause trouble to her?

Her nose suddenly felt sore, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she cried to Bao Zhao.

"My father wants to marry me to Xue Sheng!"
