Chapter 1096 Planting Your Stolen Goods

In reality, there was no way to deal with this. With Feng Yuheng’s glib mouth, ever since she arrived at this Da Shun court, she had never lost in a quarrel of words. Of course, if she fought, she was even stronger.

Lu Song thought of countless ways to reply, but he did not say anything in the end. But Feng Yuheng reminded him again: “As a person, you should know how to feel satisfied with what you have, do not carry things out crazily without caring about other things because of greed. Thinking about Feng Jinyuan in the past, he was Left Prime Minister just like you, his Feng Manor was also larger and richer than your Lu Manor, the appearance of that Feng Chenyu also did not lose to Lu Ping by much. But what happened in the end? Lu Song, use your brain more for everything, else, This Princess would really doubt how you managed to become Left Prime Minister in the first place. With this standard, you can become a first rank official? You making a mistake from muddle-headedness is not a serious issue, and it is not our business on how you made things difficult for your daughter, but if your mind is not good, it will negatively affect the important matters of the country. When This Princess has time, This Princess will need to mention this to the Sixth Prince about whether the position of Left Prime Minister should be re-evaluated, Lord Lu doesn’t seem to be suitable for the position!”

She said this and did not stay any longer, following Ren Xifeng to the back courtyard to examine the patient. It was just that these words caused Lu Song to tremble all the way down to his heart when he heard them. What did Feng Yuheng mean? Could it be that she wanted to remove his position of Left Prime Minister? It was not impossible! This woman had always been able to cover the skies with one hand. Everyone said that the Ninth Prince was Ninth King Yama, but they did not know, this Princess Yu was also a true Rakshasa, never holding back with punishing people. If he did not even have the position of Left Prime Minister, then what else would he have left?

For a while, whatever happened to Feng Jinyuan in the past, from glory to falling into disgrace, all these scenes replayed in Lu Song’s head. He had seen some of them with his own eyes and heard about some of them from others, but either way, none of the events were good and none of the Feng Jinyuan’s schemes have ended well. The more he thought, the more fearful he felt, and the more he was worried about his own future.

And at this moment, General Ping Nan said: “This General also thinks that Lord Lu has sat on the position of Left Prime Minister for too long, to the point that this power and position has fogged your intelligence. This General will enter the imperial palace together with Princess Yu, mentioning this to the Emperor and His Highness the Sixth Prince, this position of Left Prime Minister should be replaced by another person.” After he said this, he left with a flick of his sleeves.

A servant from General Ping Nan manor approached, telling Lu Song: “Lord Left Prime Minister, the young miss from your manor has been unconscious the whole time and is lying next to the stable! Carry her away! We invited Princess Yu here to examine Young Master and we do not care about the life and death of the young miss from your family. Oh yes, Young Miss Lu was rescued by us after much effort and we did not neglect her on the way home. If you still have a conscience, remember to send some gratitude over the General’s Manor, and not have us spend all that effort for nothing.” After that person finished speaking, he reached out and pointed in a certain direction, Lu Song looked in that direction and saw Lu Ping lying on a litter.

Gritting his teeth, he got up from the ground, walking to Lu Ping and watched her for a while, getting an urge to strangle her to death. But his fist tightened and relaxed, giving up on the idea in the end. He knew, wanting to send Lu Ping to the Sixth Prince now was impossible, and the animosity between the Lu family and the General’s manor had been established. Moreover, Princess Yu was helping the General’s manor in a mystifying way, so he was unable to gain any advantages, and he could not guarantee how many days he could still wear this official’s hat. But it was not as if the situation could not be turned around at all, the Ren family’s young master could jump off the cliff for Lu Ping, so to say that Ren Xitao did not have Lu Ping in his heart, he did not believe it at all. Therefore, Lu Ping had to be alive and well, just based on Ren Xitao’s infatuation, the fate of his Lu family could be turned around.

Lu Ping stepped forward two steps, looking at the servant of the Ren family, speaking in a troubled tone: “Can I borrow two people to help This Prime Minister carry my daughter back to the manor? This Prime Minister will thank you properly.”

However, the servant standing at the side shook his head, expressing that he would not help, and someone even told him: “You can carry Lu family’s Eldest Miss away, but those people who pursed her and caused Young Master to fall off the cliff, none of them will be allowed to live.”

How would Lu Song still care about the life and death of those people, and waved his hand in frustration, only saying: “You can do whatever you want with those people.” Then with a stamp of his foot, “Since you are not willing to help carry her, then stand guard a while more, This Prime Minister will summon people over.” He left the General’s manor hurriedly, and quickly summoned the servants from Lu family to come over. The people carried Lu Ping back, and because they were in such a hurry, they forgot to come over in a horse carriage, so they simply carried her while walking in the streets, causing many people to crowd around and watch.

The people started to speak one after another: “I heard this is the Lu family’s Eldest Miss, but is she dead?”

“It can’t be, right? She can be still so beautiful after dying?”

“That’s right! She does look a little dishevelled and her eyes are closed, but she is really good looking! Just like a fairy maiden from the skies, how can she be this pretty?”

“Putting aside whether she is beautiful or not, why is a woman this dishevelled? Look, her hair is scattered about and her clothes are not neat, these are clearly signs that she had been taken advantage of! Lord Left Prime Minister! You are Lord Left Prime Minister, right? Please say something about this, your family’s Eldest Miss was taken advantage off by someone?”

Lu Song was so angry that he almost coughed up blood, and just as he was about to rebuke, he suddenly had an idea, and what came out of his mouth turned into: “Sigh! Don’t talk about it, if not for that Young Master from General Ping Nan’s manor……”

He spoke vaguely and did not continue speaking after saying half the sentence, and even shook his head while walking, causing everyone to make their own guesses. People did see Lu Song come out from the General’s manor and Lu Ping was carried out from that manor. Therefore, combining it with what Lu Song said just now, the people made their theories: “Could it be that Ren family’s young master coveted Lu family’s Eldest Miss’ looks, and……”

Lu Song smiled inwardly, he had wanted this result. That Ren Xitao harboured strong feelings for Lu Ping, but for General Ping Nan to agree to this marriage, how would that work if he did not add some unexpected condiments? In addition, the two of them were alone in the cave for three days and three nights, who could guarantee that nothing happened at all? Lu Ping’s reputation was already ruined. Even though marrying Lu Ping to General Ping Nan’s manor was something he was no longer willing to do, he did not have any other ideas now. If he wanted to keep his official’s position, if he wanted to protect the Lu family, this was the only route he could take.

On this side, Lu Song carried her back to the manor, on the other side, Feng Yuheng was infusing Ren Xitao with nutritional fluids.

This person had eaten or drank anything for many days. Luckily, Ren Xifeng kept using ginseng to preserve his life on the way back and occasionally injected water into his mouth, so he was able to continue living. For someone who practiced martial arts, they would not be so weak after being trapped in a cave and not eating or drinking for three days and three nights. But he did jump down from the top of a mountain and got injured. His injuries were also infected due to poor treatment, which caused him to obtain a fever and remain in an unconscious state.

As Feng Yuheng continued to infuse the nutritional fluids, she helped Ren Xitao treat his injuries. Those injuries looked hideous and terrifying, but General Ping Nan did not think it was a big deal, quoting his words: “These small injuries are considered nothing on the battlefield, when I was leading troops in battle all those years ago, my back was cut open in an injury which was many times larger than this, my flesh was turned outwards and bone was seen, yet I still lived in the end. What I am angry about is that this boy actually jumped down from such a high place for the sake of that girl from the Lu family, that is so shameful! For a manly man, they have to die on the battlefield, what is the meaning of jumping off a cliff for a woman? Wouldn’t people treat that as a joke if this was spread?”

Ren Xifeng also followed, saying: “Exactly! Ah-Heng, you did not see this, at that time, Lu Ping just threw a seductive glance, and my older brother seemed to have his soul taken away. He could not even control his actions, jumping down without hesitation, it gave me such a fright.”

Feng Yuheng said helplessly: “Lu Ping sounds like an evil spirit when you say that, she even knows how to steal souls now?”

“She can really steal souls!” Ren Xifeng spoke without any exaggeration: “With that appearance of hers, if she was not transformed from an evil spirit, I will not believe it.”

“Then Feng Chenyu from the Feng family in the past was also an evil spirit then? I have never seen an evil spirit who likes to court death.” She shook her head, saying again: “But if you said femme fatale, I will believe it. Since ancient times, beautiful women are born under an unlucky star, some of them were just had bad timing, some brought it upon themselves.”

“Ah-Heng.” Ren Xifeng said, “I know that you’re familiar with Lu Ping, what do you think about this?”

As she asked this, General Ping Nan also directed his attention over here, and even asked: “Oh yes, little girl Heng, please give your opinion, my boy is so attracted that he will jump down the cliff after her, if he is determined and stubbornly wants to marry her after walking up, should our Ren family agree or not?”

At this moment, Feng Yuheng was helping Ren Xitao stitch his wounds. Numbing medicine was applied, so the patient would not feel anything during the stitching. This was General Ping Nan’s first time seeing this method with his own eyes and could not help but feel amazed.

Feng Yuheng said: “Just like what Old General said, since Brother Ren can jump off the cliff together with Lu Ping, this means that she has already entered his heart. Wanting to forcefully remove this person from his heart when she is already craved into his bones and heart, it will be very difficult.”

“Then what do we do?” Ren Xifeng asked: “Do we have to grant his wish and allow Lu Ping to marry in?” She looked reluctant, “Ah-Heng, let me tell you this, I do not have much thoughts about Lu Ping, but I really do not like the Lu family. Especially the matter with Lu Yao and Brother Yao in the past, I really feel disgusted by the Lu family thinking about this. Just letting a daughter from the Lu family marry into the family just like this, if Lu Song causes some trouble, wouldn’t it mess up our whole manor?”

“If there was no Lu family?” Feng Yuheng asked in return, “If there was no Lu family behind Lu Ping, is General Ping Nan manor willing to marry an exceptional beauty such as her into the family?”

Ren Xifeng did not say anything after hearing this, but even though she still looked a little reluctant, it was not a complete rejection, and she asked General Ping Nan and his wife beside her: “Father, Mother, what do both of you think?”

The General’s wife sighed, saying: “As parents, we will always wish for our children to live well. I have spoken to your father very early on, our family does not place any emphasis on marrying people from families of the same status, as long as all of you truly like the person you are willing to marry, as long as you are willing, it is fine.”

General Ping Nan also said: “If there is no Lu family, it will naturally be better. But that Lu Eldest Miss, we do not know her character that well, so it is hard to decide.”

Feng Yuheng put in her last stitch and passed her tools to Wang Chuan to keep properly. She told the maid standing guard next to the bed: “I will come over personally every day to change the medicine, all of you just have to watch Young Master and make sure he does not move too much. “ As she spoke, she handed over an aerosol can, and taught them how to use it: “If the wound really hurts too much during the night, then spray this on him.” After saying this, she told General Ping Nan: “Since Old General has said this, then let me tell you about this Lu family’s Eldest Miss……”
