Soon, news leaked out of the Feng clan.
It was said that Feng Wu ran back home after Jun Linyuan hit her, but Granny Gong came after her and took her back to the residence.
Jun Linyuan was such a high-profile name.
And Feng Wu drew a lot of attention.
Everyone was so curious about their story that in less than two hours, the news spread to every corner of the imperial capital.
Even the empress dowager heard it.
“What? Junjun beat Feng Wu up?”
The empress dowager didn’t like Feng Wu in the first place. After what she heard from Bixi, she disliked Feng Wu even more.
Therefore, she was secretly delighted when she heard the news.
“If that’s the case, let her stay in the crown prince’s residence to recover from her injuries. Eliminate her name from the list of participants for the winter hunt!” The empress dowager didn’t want to see Feng Wu’s face.
Lady Northern Feng was about to speak, but the old lady cast a stern look at her. “Don’t say a word! Don’t mention her name again in front of me. Otherwise, I won’t like you anymore!”
Lady Northern Feng was rendered speechless.
What could she do about the willful old lady?
All news got around eventually, not to mention a decree from the empress dowager herself.
Therefore, before Feng Wu and Granny Gong got back to the crown prince’s residence, the news of Feng Wu being scolded by the empress dowager and her name being removed from the list had already gotten around.
It spread so fast that someone had to be behind it.
And the two of them came back too late to hear the news until the following day —
The winter hunt was a big deal for the royal family, but with so many servants around, things were quickly prepared and packed.
Early next morning —
Feng Wu had yet to wake up when she felt something cold on the tip of her nose.
She opened her eyes to find the domineering crown prince sitting by her bed.
Feng Wu smacked his hand away and glared at him. “Jun Linyuan, what are you doing?!”
“Hmph!”
The proud crown prince felt rather humiliated by her reaction.
After what Feng said the night before, Jun Linyuan seemed to realize that what he had done to Feng Wu was wrong. Right now, he was here to mend things.
But Feng Wu’s rejection immediately set him off.
Feng Wu had no idea that she had offended Jun Linyuan, and she glared at him. “Even a crown prince shouldn’t just walk into a girl’s room! I have my own dignity!”
Jun Linyuan smirked and said the first thing that came into his mind. “Heh. You’re a bed-warming maid. What dignity do you have?”
Feng Wu almost exploded when she heard that.
Her eyes went bloodshot red, and she yelled, “Jun Linyuan! What did you say?!”
Outside, Feng really wanted to smack the crown prince on the head.
He didn’t know what else he could do.
The crown prince was an incredibly smart man, and other people would willingly follow his lead. But when Feng Wu was involved, he simply stopped thinking. What was wrong with him?!
Seeing that the young couple was going to start a row again, Feng immediately intervened. “Your Royal Highness, you still need to sign a lot of memorials to the throne.”
Hearing that, Jun Linyuan threw an angry glance at Feng Wu. “You’re impossible! Reflect on yourself!”
He stormed off after that.
