"Oh, so that's why you wanted to seize my sixth uncle's property. Turns out you were keeping a gigolo."

"My sixth uncle's body is barely cold, and you've already brought this pretty boy into your home to fool around. How can you face my sixth uncle?"

"You wait, I will definitely report this to the clan chief!"

Feng Hong pointed at Xu Qing and Luo Jing and continued to curse. He had been eyeing Luo Jing for a long time, but she had a will, controlled the Feng family's assets, and had many loyal servants around her, making it impossible for him to do anything about her.

Today, he heard a report from the servants he had placed in the Feng residence to keep an eye on Luo Jing, saying that a strange man had gone to Luo Jing's room.

Feng Hong immediately had a plan in mind. As long as he insisted that the two had an affair and used this to threaten Luo Jing, wouldn't he be afraid that she would not comply?

If he could get Luo Jing, then the family fortune left by his sixth uncle would naturally be his too. It was a win-win situation, so how could he possibly miss it?

"You bastard! What nonsense are you spouting!" Luo Jing pointed a trembling finger at Feng Hong, her weak little face filled with anger.
Looking at Xu Qing, who had his back to her, Luo Jing's eyes gleamed; everything was proceeding according to her plan.

Her goal was to get closer to Xu Qing in order to monitor and win him over. Her current coma and her affair with Feng Hong were all part of her plan.

Marquis Wenxin, Lü Buwei, gave her the order to win over Xu Qing and persuade him to defect to the Qin state. However, to convert a person of high rank and power, seduction with beauty alone is not enough.

The best way to deal with such a person is to become friends with them through shared interests and enemies, and then use their beauty to seduce them, thus controlling them.

Feng Hong was a pawn she had carefully selected. He had previously worked in a local government office with his father, Feng Yu, and had only recently arrived in Xinzheng. He did not know Xu Qing at all.

The lustful and incompetent son of a high-ranking official can be easily manipulated by someone who whispers a few words in his ear, causing him to obediently follow her plan and thus offend Xu Qing.

More importantly, Feng Hong's father, Feng Yu, is the newly appointed Junior Minister of State of Han, a capable subordinate of the Fourth Prince, Han Yu.

Xu Qing's status in the Korean court is rising, but above him are Ji Wuye, Zhang Kaidi, and Han Yu, especially Han Yu.

After Luo Wang's investigation over this period of time, she discovered that Han Yu had arranged for someone to attack the Imperial Hospital, and the target was Xu Qing.

Later, when Xu Qing first became famous in Xinzheng, it was Han Yu who helped her gain recognition.

Therefore, she guessed that there was a considerable conflict between Han Yu and Xu Qing. The two were only on the surface and were probably secretly eager to get rid of each other.

Now that Xu Qing has such an enemy, Han Yu can become a common enemy to bring the two of them closer together.

As long as the conflict between Xu Qing and Han Yu is brought into the open, and she helps Xu Qing resolve the threat posed by Han Yu, then the two will naturally become "friends".

By using her status as a friend, she was able to gradually get close to Xu Qing, and through power, money, and beauty, she gradually swayed Xu Qing towards Qin.

Even if Xu Qing refused to submit and remained loyal to the Han state, and despite their close relationship, she was still able to kill Xu Qing without alerting the God-Slaying Swordsman.

Although her plan was somewhat old-fashioned and easy to spot, it was intricately linked, and unless Xu Qing learned her true identity, he could only see the surface of her purpose.

Xu Qing glanced at Luo Jing, then looked at the angry Feng Hong at the door.

They realized that this wasn't a honey trap, but rather that this Feng Hong wanted to use the pretext of adultery to seize the Feng family's property.

"What nonsense am I spouting?! It's clearly you who's raising this brat!"

Before Feng Hong could even utter the words "pretty boy" to Xu Qing, Xu Qing stepped forward and slapped him across the face.
The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the room. Feng Hong's two back molars flew out of his mouth, and his slightly lewd face instantly swelled up. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Feng Hong covered his swollen face, propped himself up with one hand, and pointed at Xu Qing with the other, shouting angrily.

"Ahhh! You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?" Xu Qing stared coldly at Feng Hong, her voice icy.
"I'm not interested in who you are. If you dare to speak rudely again, believe me, I'll make sure you don't leave this room alive!"

Although he didn't want to be involved in the Feng family's mess, it didn't mean he would tolerate Feng Hong's insults.

Feng Hong's attitude was clearly to insist that he and Luo Jing had an affair. To avoid getting involved in more trouble, the only option was to shut him up.

The best way to shut them up is to take a tougher stance, since these sons of South Korean officials have always been bullies who prey on the weak.

Meeting Xu Qing's icy gaze, Feng Hong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, the hairs on his back stood on end, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Feng Hong scrambled to his feet, glaring fiercely at Xu Qing, and shouted in a trembling voice.
"You...you dare hit me! Do you know who my father is? My father is a doctor from the State of Han, the Junior Minister of the Situ Mansion!"

"Is that so? Your father is Feng Yu, right? Go and call him over here, let me see what your father can do to me!" Xu Qing said coldly.

Situ was in charge of the civil administration of Korea, and Shao Situ was Situ's deputy. For others, this was indeed a high-ranking and powerful position.

However, for Xu Qing, the imperial physician who was backed by two favored concubines and a confidant of the King of Han, he was nothing more than a piece of cake weighing a large scale – not much of a product.

Looking at Xu Qing's domineering back, Luo Jing instantly changed her expression to one of surprise mixed with a hint of admiration and gratitude.

Looking at Xu Qing, whose momentum remained undiminished, Feng Hong couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He used to bully men and women in the area because his father was the prefect. Now that his father has been promoted to Junior Minister of Works, he feels even more important in Xinzheng.

In the past few days, many sons of officials have come to curry favor with him. In addition, he has had his share of disputes with people in the past two days, but they all backed down after learning about his father's identity.

This made him realize that things weren't so bad in Xinzheng, which strengthened his resolve. This was the first time he'd encountered someone who didn't respect his father, which made him feel a little guilty.

"You...you...my father is Han Yu's confidant! Who are you? Dare to leave your name?" Feng Hong said, taking two steps back.

The butler, who was standing outside the door, saw Feng Hong introduce himself and then stepped between the two men.
"Imperial Physician, please don't be angry. It's all a misunderstanding by Young Master Feng Hong."

"Young Master Feng Hong, please don't hold a grudge against the Imperial Physician. It's all a misunderstanding!"

"Imperial Physician! You are the Imperial Physician!"

Feng Hong stared at Xu Qing as if struck by lightning, his face filled with disbelief, and his legs felt weak.

Although he was arrogant and conceited, he spent his days hanging out with a group of children of officials, and learned some things about Xinzheng from them. Xu Qing was the person they mentioned the most.

His father warned him more than once that Xinzheng was not like other places; it was full of powerful and influential people with complex relationships, and there were many people they could not afford to offend.

Among the people in Xinzheng whom one should not offend, Xu Qing, a rising star in the court, was one of them. However, unlike the others, he had only been in Xinzheng for a few days and had never met Xu Qing.

Now, meeting for the first time, he never expected it to be like this. Thinking of Xu Qing's illustrious reputation, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

Looking at Feng Hong slumped against the door, Xu Qing glanced at the steward, then scanned the servants and maids around him, and suddenly realized that something was wrong; he seemed to have been set up.

"Imperial Physician, I was wrong. I was blind to your greatness. Please forgive me!"

Feng Hong immediately revealed his true nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, abandoning his previous arrogant attitude and pleading with Xu Qing to let him go.

Luo Jing watched this scene silently, then subtly winked at the maid beside her.
