Chapter 294: Fury Unbound
Chapter 294: Fury Unbound
The system had said too much for Suisui to remember everything.
Yet, she didn't want her sister to be overwhelmed with sadness.
So, Suisui gently raised her hand, wrapping it around Feng You Tan's neck, and whispered soothingly, "Sister, don't cry. It's not that big of a deal. Second Brother can't go to the battlefield, but he can still command others to go in his stead!"
Feng Youtan: ?
The little girl had been crying so hard that her voice became hoarse, but upon hearing Suisui's words, she suddenly froze.
Huh?
You know, you may be right.
A strange train of thought had been unlocked.
However, thinking of Second Brother's current state, Feng You Tan wasn't sure if this path could be pursued, or if it would even be a good idea.
Most importantly, would Second Brother even be willing to take this path?
As Feng You Tan thought, her tears gradually ceased.
Seeing that her sister had stopped crying, Suisui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two stood at the door for quite a while, but Feng You Tan still couldn't quite figure things out.
Just as they were about to leave, they noticed a group of people hurrying towards them from a distance.
Feng You Tan hadn't intended to pay any attention to them, but the group shouted from afar, their voices carrying, "Greetings to the Princess. May the Princess have a peaceful and healthy heart."
Their loud voices were enough to hurt one's ears, and Feng You Tan glared at them, displeased.
Unfortunately, due to the distance, she wasn't sure if they noticed her glare or not.
The group bowed, and Feng You Tan took a closer look at them.
After a while, she realized she didn't recognize any of them.
They were moving rather quickly, and the woman leading the group soon arrived, smiling as she spoke, "I apologize for my late arrival, Princess. In recent days, the Fourth Young Master hasn't been feeling well, and he has been refusing to see anyone. If he has offended the Princess in any way, I implore you to consider the face of the Assistant Duke's Manor and not take it to heart. After all, the Fourth Young Master is also..."
Seeing that the woman was about to launch into a long-winded speech, Feng You Tan rudely interrupted her, "Who are you?"
The young princess, known for her somewhat short temper, didn't bother with pleasantries.
He Yiniang was taken aback, her face reddening, but she maintained her composure and smiled, "I am He, the concubine."
And who is He?
Feng You Tan had no idea who this woman was, so she looked towards Chou Gugu beside her.
Chou Gugu replied expressionlessly, "Concubine of Lu Chang, He."
Upon hearing this, Feng You Tan rolled her eyes, "And what status does that give you to stand before me? Scram!"
Feng You Tan's mood swings were rather rapid. Despite her eyes still holding traces of tears, her scolding was harsh and unreserved.
In comparison, her earlier antics with Suisui were truly just playful banter.
Suisui watched her sister's sudden change in demeanor with some fear.
She didn't quite like this Aunt He. The woman's gaze made her feel rather uncomfortable.
Before speaking with Feng You Tan, He Yiniang had quickly sized Suisui up.
That feeling, how could she describe it?
It was similar to the way the managers at the pig farm would assess the pigs' weight and quality.
This made Suisui feel rather uneasy.
However, being young and wanting to avoid trouble, and also having her sister around, she decided to keep quiet.
Now, seeing her sister's outburst, Suisui quickly took Feng You Tan's hand, "Sister, don't be angry."
He Yiniang had just been publicly humiliated by Feng You Tan, and she naturally felt extremely displeased. But considering the princess' identity, she couldn't express her emotions.
As He Yiniang prepared to say something to salvage the situation and restore some dignity, she hadn't even opened her mouth when Chou Gugu smiled and walked towards her, gesturing for her to step aside.
"That's a forced dismissal if ever I saw one!"
He Yiniang barely managed to maintain her composure. She had originally intended to get closer to Feng You Tan and put some honeyed words into Lu Chang's ears.
However, not only had she failed, but she had also been publicly humiliated by Feng You Tan.
He Yiniang was both angry and anxious, but when it came to this princess, she knew better than to provoke her further.
In the end, she could only force a smile and nod to Chou Gugu, "It's my fault for being presumptuous and disturbing the princess. I apologize."
Feng You Tan was in no mood to look at her face anymore, and coldly hmphed, "If you know you're an eyesore, then scram. Do you need me to send someone to shut your mouth and escort you out?"
He Yiniang: ...!
He Yiniang's face turned pale with fear, and she didn't dare to utter another word. After paying her respects, she left quietly.
Watching her distant retreating figure, Feng You Tan rolled her eyes again. She pulled Suisui's hand and whispered, "That's what happens when you pamper these concubines. Auntie is kind-hearted and doesn't want the women in the back court to have a hard time, so she tolerates them a little more. But look at the result?"
Speaking of which, Feng You Tan sounded like a little adult. "So, Suisui, from now on, we have to be fiercer and tougher. When we encounter someone with an unclear mind, we'll just beat them up and get it over with. With our noble identities, we don't need to consider too much."
Chou Gugu: ...
Shou Gugu: ...........
The two aunts exchanged glances and then silently smiled at each other in agreement.
In their hearts, they thought: Princess, you really dare to say that!
Suisui didn't quite understand, but now she could tell the difference between a wife and a concubine.
In the village, it was already quite an achievement for someone to marry a wife.
So, taking a concubine?
First of all, aside from the issue of affordability, no girl in the village would be willing to be a concubine.
Even if someone wanted to sell their daughter for personal gain, they would send her to be a concubine in the household of a gentleman or a squire.
For an ordinary family, it was simply out of the question!
After coming to the capital, Suisui gained a lot of knowledge. She now understood the difference between a wife and a concubine.
She also understood why Fifth Brother called Mother Empress 'Mother Empress' and called Ren Auntie 'Mother'.
Because Ren Auntie was his biological mother, and Mother Empress was his official mother. This was an identity-based honorific.
Suisui also knew that a concubine's status was not high. A childless concubine sometimes even had a lower status than a favored servant of the master.
But, beat them up?
Suisui thought that was a bit too scary.
However, it was her sister's good intention to teach her, and even if she didn't dare to do it now, she would remember it.
What if she dared to do so when she grew up?
Thinking of this, Suisui nodded seriously, "Okay, sister, I got it."
Seeing Suisui nodding, Feng You Tan felt better.
However, thinking of how He Yiniang had spoken earlier, she still felt very upset.
Feng You Tan turned her head back to Chou Gugu, "Auntie Chou, can't we really kill her?
Chou Gugu: ...
Chou Gugu was at a loss for words for a moment, but she had to respond in time to help the little princess understand, "I'm afraid it's not a good idea. After all, it's the Assistant Duke's Manor's family matter, and it's not appropriate for us to interfere. Moreover, this Madame He has given birth to a son for Lu Chang, so her status is a little higher compared to the other concubines."
After hearing this, Feng You Tan angrily tucked her hands into her waist, "Then I'll think of a way to meddle. I can't just let it go. I'll ask Father Emperor to marry me to Second Brother, and then I'll be able to meddle!
The second update will be at 7 pm.
