The Feng family is truly despicable!
She said sarcastically, "Looks like my daughter rescued an ungrateful wretch!"
Madam Feng turned pale with fright. She couldn't bear such a stigma, otherwise how could the Feng family maintain its standing in the capital?
Most importantly, neither of her children is married yet.
She quickly said, "Madam Hou, please don't be angry. My son is unaware of the truth and is young and impetuous. He said something wrong, please don't take it to heart!"
Lin Yiwan said sullenly, "Of course I wouldn't stoop to the level of someone insignificant, but I don't want my daughter's reputation to be damaged!"
Madam Feng immediately understood that Lin Yiwan wanted the Feng family to make a statement.
She glared at Feng Ziyu: "Why aren't you apologizing to Madam Hou and Miss Zhan right now?"
Feng Ziyu had no choice but to kowtow and bow, saying, "I have made a mistake, please forgive me, Madam Hou!"
Lin Yiwan ignored him, and just then Feng Yingying slowly woke up.
Zhan Miao immediately rushed to her side and asked with concern, "Miss Feng, you're awake? Are you alright?"
After saying that, she threatened in a low voice, "If you want to say that I pushed you into the water, then I will expose to the public that you asked me to help you cheat. At that time, you will be ruined and will never be able to participate in the Flower Goddess election again!"
Feng Yingying gritted her teeth and swallowed back her resentment.
At this moment, Madam Feng asked worriedly, "Daughter, tell your mother, how did you suddenly fall into the water?"
Feng Yingying replied tearfully, "I slipped and fell by accident. I'm sorry, Mother, for making you worry!"
Madam Feng quickly reassured her, "It's good that you're alright. Miss Zhan went to great lengths to save you. You should thank her quickly; she's your savior!"
Feng Yingying felt a tightness in her chest from anger. This was hardly a savior; she was more like a murderer.
She remembered clearly that Zhan Miao had forcefully pushed her into the water several times, almost drowning her.
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, she dared not tell the truth.
She could only stammer, feeling wronged, "Thank you so much, Miss Zhan, for saving my life!"
Zhan Miao patted her shoulder with a smile; "Don't worry about it, I'm a kind person, I don't expect anything in return for saving people!"
Just one sentence made Feng Yingying's face turn increasingly pale and unsightly.
She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes surging with hatred.
In the subsequent flower identification competition, she naturally lost completely.
Feng Yingying looked very dejected after failing to win the title of Flower Goddess.
On the carriage ride back, she questioned Feng Ziyu with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say you would help me? Why didn't you do anything?"
Feng Ziyu explained guiltily, "It's not that I didn't do it, but the palace is heavily guarded, and I really couldn't find an opportunity. As for you, how did you suddenly fall into the water?"
Feng Yingying felt aggrieved and uncomfortable when this was mentioned.
She said in a deep voice, "It's all Zhan Miao's fault for refusing to help me. She even pushed me into the water. She's so wicked!"
Feng Ziyu clenched her fists in anger: "I knew it was her! She's so vicious, forcing us siblings to submit to her in front of others!"
Feng Yingying chimed in, "Our Feng family cannot let her bully us. We must teach her a lesson she won't forget!"
Feng Ziyu squinted and said, "Leave this matter to me. I will make sure Zhan Miao is utterly disgraced!"
He already had a plan. The Marquis of Zhanyi's mansion was like an impregnable fortress, making it impossible to place anyone inside. But the Xie General's mansion next door was a different story.
Zhan Qingning was handling the affairs of the manor as usual when she saw Zhan Miao running in with Xiaobai, lifting her skirt.
She exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, have you heard? A very amazing opera troupe has come to our capital! They say their monkeys can not only fly over rooftops and climb walls, but they can also imitate people bowing and greeting!"
Zhan Qingning asked in surprise, "Really? You went to see it?"
Zhan Miao tugged at her sleeve and pleaded, "That's why I'm begging you, sister, because I haven't seen it before! Please take me there, sister! I want to see the excitement!"
Zhan Qingning chuckled helplessly, "Alright, I'll take you to see it after I've finished explaining things. You sit quietly to the side and wait!"
"Okay!" Zhan Miao smiled, his eyes narrowing.
About half an hour later, the two finally boarded the carriage that led them out of the mansion.
Zhan Miao asked in confusion, "Sister, did you hire a new driver? I've never seen him before."
Zhan Qingning nodded: "Yes, his name is A-Qiang. He's only been here a few days. The previous one was sick, so your brother-in-law sent him to the estate to recuperate for a while!"
Zhan Miao didn't ask any more questions, and instead lowered his eyes to play with Zhan Xiaobai, who was huddled in the corner.
They soon arrived at the opera troupe's place, bought tickets, and entered a huge tent.
Sure enough, quite a few monkeys were bowing to people on stage, begging for snacks and tips. Their silly appearance was truly amusing.
Zhan Miao also wanted to reward it, so he immediately took out a few pastries and tossed them over.
Unexpectedly, the monkeys suddenly changed their expressions and pounced on her.
They landed on her shoulders, their sharp claws ready to tear and rip at her clothes.
Exclamations came from all around, and many people began to run outside.
Zhan Miao was surprised that the monkeys attacked her in a group. She immediately swung the vine whip wrapped around her wrist away.
The monkey was in pain from the whipping, but it didn't flinch at all.
It's even getting more and more outrageous!
Even when the animal tamers came, they couldn't stop them.
In a flash, Zhan Qingning proved to be the most capable. She immediately took out a packet of powder and threw it over the heads of the monkeys.
With a thud, several monkeys collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhan Miao's face turned pale with shock. Luckily, her older sister acted quickly, otherwise, her clothes would have been torn to shreds by the monkeys.
very scary!
At that moment, a question popped into her mind: why were the monkeys bothering her instead of attacking others?
what happened?
She frowned and called over the troupe manager, who quickly found out the reason: the perfume on her body had agitated the monkeys.
In other words, her scent attracted them.
Zhan Miao was utterly puzzled. When did she get some unknown perfume powder on her?
Zhan Qingning guessed what was going on. She took out some silver and handed it to the theater manager, saying, "Take the injured monkey to see a doctor first. If this is not enough, go to General Xie's mansion to find me!"
The theater manager was extremely grateful. He hadn't expected that Madam Xie would actually compensate him. Logically speaking, it was his fault for not keeping a good watch on the monkey, and not punishing him was already an extraordinary act of mercy.
This is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhanyi's mansion. If anything goes wrong, he might lose his life.
He spoke tremblingly, "Thank you, young mistress, thank you, Miss Zhan!"
The two returned to General Xie's mansion, Zhan Qingning's expression was gloomy and solemn.
Zhan Miao felt somewhat guilty; it was her fault for making her older sister worry so much.
She said guiltily, "Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run off like that. I won't do it again!"
Zhan Qingning said softly, "Miao'er, don't overthink it. I'm not blaming you. I'm just a little scared. What if I ruined your reputation? How could I explain it to Mother and Father?"
