Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

The people of Ningxiang Village were out of danger and recovered completely after taking herbal medicine for several days.

Feng Qingluan gave Ge Ming some instructions and prepared to leave Ningxiang Village.

Xie Yan couldn't help feeling uncomfortable seeing that she was particularly concerned about the child.

"Who is he? You seem to care about him a lot?"

He had seen Feng Qingluan go to Ge Ming's room alone to treat him many times. She spoke to him gently and prepared the medicine herself.

Feng Qingluan is nice to every man except the one who treats him badly.

Feng Qingluan said: "It's none of your business!"

She discovered that Xie Yan had gone crazy. Whenever he saw her being nice to any member of the opposite sex, he would come up to her angrily and question her. No matter how she mocked or ridiculed him, he would not listen and would just come to her to get into trouble by flattering her.

Xie Yan said angrily, "After leaving me, you became a fickle woman, flirting with every man. Feng Qingluan, you are my ex-wife, please be careful about your words and actions, and don't let this hurt my reputation!"

Feng Qingluan rolled her eyes at his nonsense.

Talking one more word to him would make you look like an idiot.

Feng Qingluan got on the carriage and lowered the curtain to block out this ignorant dog-skin plaster.

Feng Qingluan saved the lives of the people in Ningxiang Village. When they left, the villagers came out to thank them and see them off.

Feng Shuyao used some jewelry to give to several aunties in the village, and the aunties exaggerated the news that she had found the last Jiegu grass to tell the villagers.

"Concubine Feng Shu is a really kind person. She is of noble status. She not only drags her seriously ill body to find medicine for the common people, but also personally administers medicine to us every day. Concubine Feng Shu is a living Bodhisattva, a noble person with great compassion and mercy, who cares about the people."

"Yes, it is a blessing for the people that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has Concubine Feng Shu by his side."

The villagers lined the streets to see her off, and many of them praised Feng Shuyao highly.

Feng Shuyao smiled brightly: "This is what I should do. It is also what the Chu Palace should do to benefit the people."

Amid waves of praise, Feng Shuyao got on the carriage.

Xue Zimo looked at this scene and couldn't help but ask Feng Qingluan:

"Miss, do you want to praise her to death?"

The young lady knew that Feng Shuyao had a private relationship with the prince, so she deliberately leaked the news of Feng Shuyao's Jiegu grass to let her pick it, so that she could become meritorious even though she had no contribution during the epidemic, and she would also have a share of the rewards when she returned to the capital.

The young lady was not someone who would tolerate Feng Shuyao, and this was the only possibility she could think of for her to do this.

Feng Qingluan knocked on the car window but there was no answer. Xue Zimo knew he had guessed right.

The group returned to the capital in a grand manner.

After Li Gu finished dealing with things here, Xie Jin arranged a group of people to escort her and the red monkey back to Baihua Valley.

In the palace, Emperor Xia Ming learned that the epidemic in the two villages had been cured, and he praised in the hall:

"Qingluan, I didn't expect you to be such a good doctor. You have controlled the epidemic and treated the people. I will reward you. The King of Chu has also done a good job. You and Qingluan cooperated very well."

Xie Yan said, "Thank you, Father. The epidemic in the village was able to be quickly controlled thanks to my concubine who found the most critical herb. She also deserves credit."

"A concubine?"

Emperor Xia Ming stopped smiling and asked, "Is it the concubine in your house?"

Xie Yan said: "It's her. Shu Yao has a weak personality and is a bit competitive, but she is unambiguous when it comes to major events and has a heart of dedication. She truly cares about her son and minister, and she also truly cares about the people."

Although Xie Yan believed that Feng Shuyao had only helped a little during this illness, he would support Feng Shuyao to take the position of Princess of Chu in the future. He finally had the opportunity to perform in front of his father, so he wanted to say a few good words for her to change his father's opinion of her and let his father know that he doted on Shuyao because she was worthy.

Emperor Xia Ming said: "Okay, I will reward them all together."

Xie Jin did not enter the palace, but returned to Prince Rong's Mansion on the grounds of feeling unwell.

Feng Qingluan took the reward back to the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, before she could even sit down, the housekeeper came to report:

"Miss, the concubine of the King of Chu sent an invitation. Please take a look."

The concubine of the King of Chu, Di Manli?

Feng Qingluan was surprised and opened the invitation. It invited her to have tea at Chunfenglai.

Feng Qingluan's eyes flashed with deep meaning. Because of Xie Yan, Di Manli regarded her as a love rival. What was there between her and her that made her go for tea?

But she came at the right time. Feng Qingluan accepted the invitation and went to Chunfenglai.

After Di Manli was rescued from Lengyuan by Xie Ying that day, Xie Ying sent Feng Shuyao to Ningxiang Village, where she was able to recuperate in peace for the next few days.

Di Manli thought she was a strong person, and after marrying into the Prince of Chu's Mansion, she would definitely not be bullied by a small concubine like Feng Qingluan.

But she overestimated herself and underestimated Feng Shuyao's importance in Xie Yan's heart. Feng Shuyao took advantage of Xie Yan's favoritism and trust in her and designed a plan to have Xie Yan lock her up in Lengyuan and forcibly restrict her movements, giving Feng Shuyao the opportunity to secretly drug her and almost driving her crazy. Only then did she realize how naive and stupid her initial thoughts were.

Now the King of Chu and Feng Shuyao are going back to the palace, Feng Qingluan has also returned, and she has something to ask Feng Qingluan.

When they arrived at the teahouse, Feng Qingluan saw Di Manli again and was shocked by her weak and pale face and her listless appearance, as if all her energy had been taken away.

Di Manli looked at the change in her expression and said with a wry smile:

"Are you trying to tell me that I have fulfilled my wish and married into the Chu Palace, so I should be happy and joyful? How come I have become like this, half-human, half-ghost in just a dozen days?"

Feng Qingluan walked to the seat and sat down: "So why did you become like this?"

Di Manli stared at Feng Qingluan. She did not see any gloating on her face, but rather a hint of pity.

"You have been to the Prince of Chu's mansion before, so you should be able to guess why I became like this. I came to you today to ask you something. Feng Shuyao was born in a poor family and her appearance is not particularly outstanding. I am better than her in every aspect. Why did she get the favor of the King of Chu?

He is so partial to any woman who loves him that he can be completely indifferent and unconcerned. How am I inferior to Feng Shuyao? How are you inferior to Feng Shuyao?"

At this time, Di Manli had long lost her previous arrogant and domineering attitude. She asked these questions in a crying voice, like a resentful woman who was heartbroken.

The tea waiter brought the tea. Feng Qingluan took a cup and sniffed it. It was the best Biluochun.

Seeing that she was sipping tea without saying anything, Di Manli calmed down and didn't urge her.

After tasting the tea, Feng Qingluan spoke softly:

"Feng Shuyao once saved Xie Yan's life. She owes him a life-saving favor."
