Chapter 205:
Oh my god, look at the guts on that girl. So loose and still dare to come out in public.
I know. How thick can her skin be? She already lived so long as the number one disappointment in the Feng family. Living in so much excess, was there even any value in her chastity?
Does she even have any face left? I dont know why Feng house would let someone so shameful back in.
I know. If it was my house, wed have kill the slut already for ruining the family name like that.
She dare come light the lantern even though she already has a child. So shameless.
I know. I would have mortified to death.
The noble ladies held themselves with grace and proper poise while delivering these vicious words. It was a testament to their education.
If it was Original Feng Wu, she would have already rushed out and slapped some bitches. She didnt get the nickname she devil for nothing.
But the one standing there now wasnt the Feng Wu they knew.
Xiao Wu! Youre here. Why didnt you call out to me? Yi Lin yelled up from down the stairs.
Yi Lins family was a smaller noble family so she didnt have the qualifications to go to the second floor. Without Feng Wu there she wouldnt have the courage to go up. She could only blame her mother for marrying poorly.
As the eldest daughter in Feng house, her mother could have married better, but instead she married into some no name minor noble house.
Her mother, Feng Tian Jiao, had been the number one catch back then. She naturally attracted the spotlight as the eldest Feng daughter. Everyone wondered which top notch family she would marry into. Who knew the delicate Feng daughter would fall in love and try to elope with the son of a minor noble.
She was captured and brought back home in under two hours, but she didnt give in and instead went on a hunger strike. So between having her die from hunger or letting her marry the man she wanted, the family ended up giving in, however they only gave her a small dowry.
Her life wasnt peaches and cream after marriage. It was only after she moved out of Feng house that she realized what hardships lay in living in a minor house. It was too late for regrets though.
Feng Jiao had two sons and three daughters. Yi Lin was her eldest. Because she had so many children, she was able to live an easy life. Feng house members were relieved.
No matter what, she was still the eldest daughter of Feng house. The house she married into didnt dare treat her badly. Everyone had already gone through their indignant phase over the marriage. Even her arrogant and domineering father and brother[notes] couldnt do anything but shake their heads in helplessness.
Feng house may have ignored her long ago had they not been bound by blood.
Its Yi Lin. Come on up. Feng Ting beckoned for Yi Li to come up.
Now that she had Feng Tings approval, Yi Lin picked up the hem of her skirt and walked upstairs. As soon as she reached the top she went to stand beside Feng Wu and Feng Ting. She looked around curiously.
The other ladies had no interest in her so they didnt pay her any attention. She was a Feng cousin so they werent concerned about her behaving inappropriately like some greenhorn.
Yi Lin, this person was good at using other people. She was outrageously spoiled by her mother. In fact if it werent for her knowing to display the right image, she would have been rejected by Feng house long ago.
Feng Ting hid the disdain in her eyes. It figured Feng Wu was only worthy of associating with this kind of person. She knew Yi Lin spoke badly about Feng Wu behind her back. Yi Lin even used Feng Wu to beat her two younger sisters by fooling Feng Wu into thinking they bullied her at home.
The results were predictable; of course there would be no words of praise. Her family scolded her severely and her aunts family was offended. Feng Wu was a fool.
Lets go sit here. Yi Lin pulled Feng Wus hand to a couple of empty seats.
The seat wasnt bad. It had a good view of both the garden and river below.
Xiao Wu, Feng Ting, have you heard? Other than the usual male guests we always have, theres another bigshot visiting. Yi Lin lowered her voice. She looked left and right, pretending to be mysterious.
A heavy weight huh? Is he one of the three princes? Feng Ting wasnt all that interested.
Daughter day was basically like a giant blind date with many minor princes and members of the imperial royal family in attendance. There were always a few who paired up during the festival.
The three princes attended every year. Not many people could get close to them, but that didnt dampen the ladies enthusiasm. If they could become an imperial concubine, theyd be the envy of the nation.
Feng Ting wasnt looking to marrying any of the three princes though. She wasnt delusional. She knew that with her status, there was no way she would be admitted as a concubine. Besides she already had a target in mind.
Yi Lins dream of being a concubine was ridiculous. She looked down on Yi Lin and her silly dreams. A girl from such a small house, how could she be accepted as a royal concubine? Feng Ting was disdainful of Yi Lin.
I dont know which prince, but its definitely a prince from the Silver Moon country. A descendent of a god! Yi Lin grew more excited the more she thought about it. If she could get his favor, she wouldnt have to suck up to Xiao Wu anymore!
Prince of the ancient Silver Moon country? Feng Ting nearly yelled out loud. No wonder there were so many more male guests downstairs than normal. Turned it a big shot would be visiting.
A fire lit in Feng Tings heart. Bo forget it, she wouldnt have a chance. Eighty percent of the aristocrats here would by aiming for him. She wouldnt get the chance to get close.
Feng Ting dreamed big but she was realistic. She had a strong sense of self-awareness and knew better than to try and snatch a prince away from one of the princesses. It would be one thing if she succeeded, but if she failed she would be blacklisted forever. The risk wasnt worth it.
