Is there anything we can't say between you and me...
Wang Jinling's nose felt sore, and the smile on his face almost couldn't be stretched. Feng Qingchen's words brought out all the emotions and longings he tried so hard to hide.
There was indeed nothing that he and Feng Qingchen couldn't talk about, but this was all because he kept his duty as a friend, so he could talk about anything. He and Feng Qingchen could talk about anything, except feelings.
Feng Qingchen regarded him as a friend from the beginning, and she said no to him clearly from the beginning. And he also regarded Feng Qingchen as a friend and confidant at the beginning, without considering her gender at all, and never thought that one day,
Will fall in love with such a woman.
At first, in his eyes, Feng Qingchen was just a friend worth keeping, but he didn't know when his feelings for Feng Qingchen changed. But Feng Qingchen still treated him as before and regarded him as a good friend who talked about everything.
A trustworthy old friend.
This was his honor and his sorrow. Wang Jinling didn't know whether to blame God for teasing him or his own bad character for reaching this point.
Wang Jinling secretly smiled bitterly, blinked his eyelids, lowered his head slightly to hide the pain in his eyes, and hid his thoughts tightly to prevent Feng Qingchen from seeing the clues.
Feng Qingchen sat opposite Wang Jinling, but she didn't understand what he was thinking at this time. She only asked worriedly: "Jin Ling? What happened?"
"No." Wang Jinling raised his head and shook his head with a smile. His eyes were as warm as before, and he was as calm as ever. He could deceive even himself, which showed how deeply he hid his feelings for Feng Qingchen.
He will remember this promise as a friend.
Feng Qingchen had no doubt that he had it, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared to death. Seeing that you didn't speak for a long time, I thought something happened to you."
"The Wang family is under my control. Don't worry, what happened last time won't happen again." It was only at the expense of Jin Han that the Wang family's stability was achieved. Wang Jinling would never allow anything to happen to the Wang family in his hands.
"It's good since everything is fine. By the way, how is Jin Han? How is his recovery?" Feng Qingchen asked smoothly, not realizing that she had been taken away by Wang Jinling, and completely forgot to ask why Wang Jinling was acting abnormal just now.
"Very good, I can stand up now." Wang Jinling said a few more things about Jinhan. After talking about Wang Jinhan's current situation, Wang Jinling finally asked why he came to see Feng Qingchen today: "Qingchen, you
How long do you plan to stay in Jiuwangfu?"
"Uh... is there a problem?" When Feng Qingchen heard this, he knew there must be something going on.
Wang Jinling smiled lightly and comforted: "It's nothing serious, it's just that there are some unpleasant rumors outside."
Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."
Of course Wang Jinling wouldn't say what the specific rumors were, and he couldn't say that, and Feng Qingchen didn't ask. Since Jin Ling came to talk about it, it meant that those rumors were not ordinary unpleasant.
Wang Jinling knew that Feng Qingchen had his own plans, so he said no more and stood up to leave: "Qingchen, if anything happens, remember to send someone to find me. I will be in the imperial city during this time."
"Okay." Feng Qingchen did not refuse. He stood up and sent Wang Jinling away, but Wang Jinling refused: "I can just go by myself." After thinking about it, Wang Jinling still suppressed the gentlemanly feeling in his heart and said: "Qingchen
, I know there are some things you don’t care about, but... it’s better to make arrangements in advance.”
Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about General Feng and Mrs. Feng who are dead. If Feng Qingchen does something that is inconsistent with mainstream society, others will not only scold Feng Qingchen, but also General Feng and Mrs. Feng.
Feng Mansion has no tutor and no sense of shame.
It was not only Feng Qingchen who was embarrassed, but also the entire Feng Mansion.
It was not accepted by the world that Uncle Jiuhuang and Uncle Jiuhuang were together. The gap between Feng Qingchen and Uncle Jiuhuang was huge. As soon as the incident between the two came up, everyone focused their attention on Feng Qingchen and said,
Feng Qingchen climbed onto the dragon and attached himself to the phoenix to seduce Uncle Nine Emperors.
However, Uncle Jiuhuang is very strong and has always shown that he is pursuing Feng Qingchen, visiting Feng Mansion every now and then. Feng Qingchen is also reserved, rarely staying in Jiuwang Mansion, and even if he enters Jiuwang Mansion, he will not stay overnight.
Although Feng Qingchen’s words have always been criticized, it was Jiuhuangshu who took the initiative after all. No matter how unpleasant it is, there is a certain level, but it is different now. As soon as the marriage between Chu Changhua and Jiuhuangshu came out in the imperial city, Feng Qingchen moved in
The Ninth Prince's Mansion looked like he was here for a long time and had no intention of leaving. As soon as this incident came out, the words that criticized Feng Qingchen became even more unpleasant.
Wang Jinling has always supported Feng Qingchen. Although he disagrees with etiquette, he is not a stickler for etiquette, but this does not mean that he can accept criticism and insults from outsiders.
Speaking of this matter, Feng Qingchen was also a victim. If Uncle Nine Emperors had been more decisive and directly married Feng Qingchen, even if Qingchen was scolded by outsiders for following a dragon and a phoenix, it would still be justified.
But now? Feng Qingchen was criticized by the world, but did not get everything she deserved. This is so unfair to Feng Qingchen...
Wang Jinling left, but Feng Qingchen didn't move. He sat there with his right hand on the armrest, rubbing it back and forth. His whole body was in a daze, with tears in his eyes but he didn't cry.
She knew Wang Jinling's unfinished words and also knew Wang Jinling's worries. She lived comfortably in the Nine Princes' Mansion, but it seemed like her arm was broken. Her people were not here, and it was difficult for her to get out easily. The news outside spread
If she doesn't come in, she can only hear some news from the housekeeper, and these news are filtered by the housekeeper before letting her know.
"What on earth am I doing?" Feng Qingchen choked and raised her head to prevent tears from flowing down.
There is nothing wrong with her liking Uncle Nine Emperors, and there is nothing wrong with her being with Uncle Nine Emperors, but it is wrong to ignore her family and her own reputation for Uncle Nine Emperors.
"I am the only one left in Feng Mansion, but I still want to bring shame to Feng Mansion. What have I done?" Feng Qingchen bit her lip to prevent tears from falling.
"I only care about myself and don't care about the whole Feng family. Is there anyone more selfish than me in this world?"
There are not many servants in the Jiuwang Mansion, and the housekeeper has many things to do. Everything in the Jiuwang Mansion must be taken care of by Jiu Huangshu, and he cannot look at Feng Qingchen all the time. Feng Qingchen just sits in the flower hall without being disturbed.
No one came forward to ask
Feng Qingchen came back from deep thoughts and realized that she had been in a daze in the flower hall for half an hour, and no one came up to ask. Feng Qingchen raised a smile that was uglier than crying.
This is the difference between her own home and other people's homes. In Feng Mansion, everyone will regard her as the leader. Not to mention sitting alone for half an hour, even for the time of a stick of incense, the servants will come forward with concern.
Even if you don't ask, you will get some tea or snacks.
The housekeeper asked her to declare her sovereignty over the Nine Emperors Uncle, but she had no sovereignty in the Nine Emperors' Palace. The servants of the Nine Emperors' Palace regarded her as the mistress of the Palace, but in reality?
She doesn't care about her status, but after all, if her name is not right, her words cannot be obeyed. Even if everyone regards her as the mistress of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she is still essentially a "guest", a "guest" who lives in the Ninth Prince's Mansion without shame.
