A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

"Come ask for some perks!"

Feng Jiutian's lips curled into a smile. He raised an eyebrow at Qingzhi before entering the courtyard.

She was originally wondering how to obtain medicinal herbs legitimately, but unexpectedly, this opportunity came to her on its own!

Welfare?

What kind of benefits?

Qingzhi didn't understand the intricacies of the situation and couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it for a long time.

However, seeing the young lady go straight into the courtyard, she felt inexplicably anxious, but due to her status, she could not enter and could only wait anxiously outside.

……

"Oh? You want to host a banquet?"

Feng Xiangyu paused, leaving a mark on the paper with his pen. He looked up at his eldest daughter standing not far away, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

As for this eldest daughter, not to mention her timid and cowardly nature, she has been holed up in that secluded courtyard for more than ten years without ever stepping out of the door. Where would she get the courage to ask her for the right to host a banquet?

Feng Jiutian could clearly see the doubt in Feng Xiangyu's eyes.

With a slight upturn of her lips, she said in a faint smile, "Father, although I have lived in the side courtyard for many years and have hardly ever left the house, I am still your legitimate daughter. I still know how to apply the etiquette and manners I have learned."

Seeing Feng Lingyu frown.

Feng Jiutian continued, "I know that Aunt Qian is in charge of the household now, but it wouldn't be appropriate for a concubine to organize this banquet, would it? Besides, Grandfather should be back soon. If he knew that it was his legitimate granddaughter who knew how to organize the banquet, he would surely be very happy. I am not very capable, but I beg Father to give me a chance."

After Feng Jiutian finished speaking, a glint of light flashed across the window, and a sinister smile appeared in his eyes.

When Feng Lingyu heard her say the word 'Grandpa', he was slightly taken aback, and his gaze towards Feng Jiutian held a different meaning.

Although Feng Lingyu is now in charge of the Feng family, the former patriarch, who has retired and gone to recuperate, still returns every few years.

According to the schedule, the old patriarch should be back by now.

It's strange, really. Back then, the old patriarch strongly opposed Feng Lingyu marrying Feng Jiutian's mother. But over the years, the old patriarch had many grandchildren, yet he doted on Feng Jiutian, his eldest granddaughter, the only one he truly loved!

However, the old patriarch was in poor health, and each time he returned to the Feng family, he could not stay for long.

Otherwise, Feng Jiutian wouldn't be living such a miserable life!

To be honest, I don't have many memories of that 'grandfather', but they are the warmest and most precious of the few memories I have.

This time, Feng Jiutian had accurately predicted that Feng Lingyu would agree even if he didn't want to, but would definitely do so out of respect for his father.

"Alright then," Feng Xiangyu said in a low voice, relenting.

"As the legitimate daughter of the Feng family, you should know some rules."

Feng Xiangyu dipped his brush in ink, sighed, and continued to correct documents.

"Thank you, Father. Then I will take my leave." Seeing that her purpose had been achieved, Feng Jiutian curtsied and departed.

……

"Miss, Miss, are you alright..." Qingzhi rushed to greet Feng Jiutian as soon as she saw him come out.

Then, as if remembering something, she quickly lowered her voice and said, "Just now I saw Aunt Qian and the Second Miss walk out from the side, their faces were gloomy, I wonder what happened."

Feng Jiutian smiled, a smile that was strangely enigmatic!

However, she didn't pay much attention to that awful mother and daughter.
