Who would have thought that this girl, Feng Qianhuan, would turn out to have such good fortune and catch the eye of a Spirit Sect disciple?
However, this news was like a sudden bolt of lightning on a clear day to Concubine Liu and caused her to back away and nearly fall to the ground.
“On what grounds does Feng Qianhuan have to receive a Spirit Sect disciple’s love?” Concubine Liu’s features twisted with malice. “I can’t accept this, only my Qianqian can receive the recognition from a Spirit Sect disciple!”
Zuo Long slowly lowered his hand which had been supporting Concubine Liu and furrowed his brows. This was probably the first time that he has seen Concubine Liu’s true nature and a peculiar light flashed in his eyes.
Even though he has long been aware of Concubine Liu and her daughter’s abuse towards Feng Qianhuan, at least it does not look unsightly on the surface. Now, was this vicious-looking woman truly the once poised and imposing Concubine Liu?
Concubine Liu suddenly returned to her senses and suddenly noticed Zuo Long who was standing in front of her. The color drained from her face as she quickly explained, “Imperial Highness, I… I was feeling too sad earlier. After all, Qianqian had been hurt because of her yet she has escaped punishment. How can I, as Qianqian’s mother, not feel sorrow?”
“We are tired.” Zuo Long waved his hand and replied icily, “You may leave. Furthermore, remember what We’ve just told you. We cannot draw the ire of the Spirit Sect so you can no longer target Feng Qianhuan and her brother. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
Concubine Liu bit her lip in annoyance and lowered her head, “I will do as You command.”
Once she had finished speaking, she left the Imperial study in an upset state. The hatred in her eyes only continued to grow.
…
The courtyard was quiet and filled with fallen leaves.
Feng Qianhuan turned towards the youth behind her and said, “This is where I stay. Originally, a princess from the Imperial Harem isn’t allowed to leave the residence before adulthood but since I’m not important in the eyes of the Imperial Palace so no one stops me from going out.”
“Big Sister, you’re back.”
Just then, a voice filled with joy rang out from a corner of the courtyard. A tiny, riceball-like figure flew out and ran towards Feng Qianhuan.
It was a boy with soft and smooth skin like polished jade. He was about ten years old or more and his adorable features were filled with excitement. His large, round eyes were like grapes, sparkling and translucent.
When he noticed the youth who was standing next to Feng Qianhuan, his heart filled with vigilance and he quickly grabbed Feng Qianhuan’s arm before asking icily, “Who are you?”
Qianbei Xun scoffed haughtily, “I’m your brother-in-law.”
“What?”
The little boy jumped immediately and his adorable and fair features looked enraged, “I’ve never acknowledged your existence yet you dare to try and snatch my sister away. She’s mine!”
As if demonstrating his possession, he tightened his grip on Feng Qianhuan’s arm.
“Chen’er.” Feng Qianhuan lowered her head and looked at the little boy who was only at the height of her waist. Her face was no longer as cold and detached as before and a gentle smile appeared in her blood-red eyes. “He’s my savior so you can’t be rude to him. Furthermore, have you finished your homework?”
Zuo Chen blinked and turned towards Feng Qianhuan to say, “Big Sister, Chen’er has finished his homework and cultivated very seriously. One day, Chen’er will grow up and protect you so those bad guys can’t bully you ever again.”
