Rebirth of the Concubine Fenghua

Chapter 66 Twenty Loud Slaps
The fact that Feng Ruoqing murdered her daughter-in-law, was punished by the family law, and had to kneel in the ancestral hall after her injuries were recovered, soon spread throughout the Feng family, and no one knew about it.While everyone was shocked by Feng Ruoqing's viciousness, they also began to believe that the eldest lady has really changed since she became a concubine. She is no longer stammering and cowardly. It's not the good-for-nothing in the past. Although she doesn't have any outstanding talents, the second young lady who is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting doesn't seem to be very outstanding in front of her.

After practicing the piano for a while, Feng Ruoliu felt a little tired—in fact, she was very irritable, so she leaned on the couch to rest.The eldest sister's sharpness is getting more and more powerful, and her status in Fengfu has been greatly threatened. If she doesn't try to suppress the momentum of the eldest sister, she will be overshadowed sooner or later.

But Mrs. Xue now regards her eldest sister as her own. Although his father dotes on him, he is also very protective of his eldest sister. This can be seen from the fact that the fourth sister pushed her into the pond. Besides her talent, she has nothing else to do with her. Where is the balance, how can we win?

Thinking of these troublesome things, Feng Ruoliu clenched her teeth, with hatred on her face: Feng Ruotong, you have been an idiot, a fool, why don't you, why do you have to wake up and grab everything from me!
"Second Sister, what are you thinking, you are gnashing your teeth like this?" Feng Ruotong walked in, just in time to see Feng Ruoliu's appearance, and teased her.

Feng Ruoliu was startled, and quickly got up, her face became gentle and serene, she said very naturally, "Eldest sister is here? It's nothing, I just took a nap, maybe I had a nightmare, did you scare elder sister?" Calling the girls outside all dead, and not notifying anyone who comes.

"I'm not so timid anymore, Second Sister, this is not the past, I have died once, there is nothing to be afraid of, but Second Sister, did you do something wrong, why are you still having nightmares in broad daylight , I didn't scare you, did you scare yourself?" Feng Ruotong made a pun, with a faint and mocking smile on her lips.Just now, she deliberately kept the maids outside from making a sound, just wanted to see the true face of the second younger sister in private, but she did not expect to let her watch.

Feng Ruoliu was very embarrassed immediately, "I..." What I said just now was just an excuse, who knew that the elder sister took it seriously, how should she answer.

While talking, Zijing hurried in, and upon hearing this, she said angrily, "Miss, what do you mean, Miss Er has done something wrong, don't talk nonsense!" Miss, otherwise the eldest lady would not be allowed to enter the door at will.

Feng Ruotong glanced back at her, with a cold expression, "Zijing, you still dare to disrespect me?" This girl is self-confident that she is favored by her second sister, and she is used to lawlessness. She has made a move, but she hasn't taken her into consideration yet, so she hasn't learned her methods, right?
"Did the slave girl say something wrong?" Zijing didn't realize that she had offended Feng Ruotong at all, and her face was arrogant. Thinking of the second lady's kindness, she speaks with a gun and a stick, and doesn't know what is good or bad."

She is so angry, of course, because in the Feng Mansion, the slaves and the masters are both prosperous and hurt. In the past, Feng Ruoliu was unmatched in the Feng Mansion, and she also gained a lot of glory. Many little girls flattered her , wanting to enter this Menglan Courtyard to wait on her through her, so as to get some benefits.But now Feng Ruotong is getting stronger and stronger, she is about to be favored even more than her master, her interests will definitely be damaged, how can she not be angry.

Haitang turned pale with anger, "Zijing, the more you talk, the more you go too far, is this something you can say?"

"I--"

Feng Ruotong waved her hand to signal Haitang not to say more, but she looked at Feng Ruoliu with a half-smile, "Second Sister, do you still remember what I said before?"

Feng Ruoliu was taken aback, "What?" She was originally angry, but what Zijing said was not what she had in mind, of course she didn't think there was anything wrong.

"It seems that Second Sister really doesn't know how to teach those around her a lesson," Feng Ruotong shook her head with a regretful expression on her face, "Second Sister, Bauhinia has disrespected me not once or twice, last time I said However, if there is another time, Second Sister, don't blame me for stretching out my hand and teach her for you."

Feng Ruoliu's heart sank, she realized something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, Zijing really has no rules, she offended her, elder sister don't take it to heart—"

"Second Sister, I don't want to hear these words anymore. I just took it to heart this time." Feng Ruotong's face darkened, her eyes were cold. According to the rules of the house, you should slap your mouth, Haitang, don’t you think so?”

The other maidservants waiting outside the house were shocked when they heard the news, the eldest lady is going to punish Bauhinia in front of the second lady today?It seems that being raised under the name of the wife and becoming a daughter-in-law is really different from before. The eldest lady has enough confidence in her words, and I am afraid that Bauhinia will suffer a lot today.Of course, apart from being surprised, most of them also gloated a little. Whoever let Zijing spoil her because of the eldest lady would not take them seriously, and deserved to be taught a lesson.

Haitang immediately said, "Go back to Missy, it's true, Zijing speaks rudely to Missy, you can slap her mouth twenty times."

"That's it," Feng Ruotong nodded briskly, "Then slap your mouth twenty times, and punish it with a small punishment."

When Bauhinia heard this, she became anxious immediately, "Second Miss——"

"Second Sister, you've always been well-educated and sensible, and you can tell right from wrong, so you definitely won't defend yourself, right?" Feng Ruotong took the first step to block Feng Ruoliu's retreat, smiling like a little fox.

"This..." Feng Ruoliu was speechless, Zijing should be punished for being disrespectful to Eldest Sister, but... "Eldest Sister, it's all because I can't teach you well, so don't bother Eldest Sister to do it, I will teach Zijing a lesson later." I was negligent just now, and I should never let Zijing contradict my eldest sister again.Eldest sister is not punishing Bauhinia, she is clearly slapping her in the face, if this matter is to be spread, what face will she have in Fengfu!
"Then how did it happen?" Feng Ruotong shook her hands repeatedly, looking shocked, "Second sister has a good reputation, she has always been sympathetic to servants, tolerant and kind, and punishing servants, how can I let the second sister do this?" Do it, ruin the reputation of the second sister? Let me, the first daughter, teach Zijing a lesson, so that others won't say that the second sister treats the servants harshly, and won't say that the second sister protects the weak, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Feng Ruoliu was immediately speechless: what the elder sister said is simply...

"Second sister doesn't speak, does that mean she agrees?" Feng Ruotong clapped her hands and smiled, looking very happy, she didn't seem like the capital sharpness just now, "Bauhinia, you followed my second sister, you didn't learn the rules, but you learned to criticize the master. Well, today I let Haitang palm your mouth, you are not wronged, are you?"

Bauhinia was dumbfounded immediately, "Slave, slave—" Could it be that not only can't I get the reward today, but I also have to be slapped in the face?

"Stop shouting, the second sister defends me the most, how can I let you disrespect me?" Feng Ruotong smiled happily, but her eyes were as cold as a knife, "Haitang, do it, hit hard."

"No way!" Bauhinia blushed immediately, and she raised her chin confidently that she had the backing of her master, "The servant girl is right, why should the young lady control the slave servant's mouth?"

"Why?" Feng Ruotong's expression turned cold, "Because I'm the eldest lady of the Feng residence, is that okay? Haitang, hit me."

Haitang immediately said, "Yes, Miss." She took two steps forward and raised her hand.

"Second Miss!" Bauhinia immediately changed her expression, hid behind Feng Ruoliu, and said unconvinced, "Second Miss is the servant's master!"

Feng Ruoliu frowned, trying to ease the situation, "Elder Sister——"

"Second Sister, does she have to get a reputation for protecting her weaknesses?" Feng Ruotong immediately laughed when she spoke to her, which made Feng Ruoliu very irritable, "When did the Feng Manor have such a rule that slaves can still question their masters?" , Even if you make a mistake, you are justified, it seems that the rules set by the mother are not as good as the second sister, you teach the servants well, isn't it?"

Feng Ruoliu's complexion suddenly changed. Under the careful teaching of her mother and father since she was a child, she has learned all kinds of etiquette better than others, and she has always been well-educated and reasonable in front of the outside world. The appearance, the attitude of Zijing towards the eldest sister today is indeed out of courtesy and should be punished.

If she insisted on protecting Bauhinia, if the news of today got out, it would be that she was not strict in teaching her servants and protecting her shortcomings, which would damage her image.But if she doesn't protect her, if Zijing is beaten, the servants will say that she has no prestige in the Feng residence, which is a dilemma.This advance and retreat is the elder sister's reason. It seems that the elder sister is really getting more and more scheming, and it is difficult to deal with.

"I knew that Second Sister was always fair and just," Feng Ruotong said deliberately, with mocking eyes, "I am ashamed to be the eldest sister. Haitang, you still haven't fulfilled Second Sister's good intentions, give me a call." !"

"Yes, miss." Haitang stepped forward and dragged Zijing out, rounded her arms, and slapped her hard across the face: "I told you to bully miss the most, this time you have tasted it, right?"

"Wow..." Zijing burst into tears on the spot in pain, and of course she felt ashamed more: Why did everyone here bully the eldest lady, and she was the only one who had to be beaten?
"Why are you crying?" Feng Ruotong shook her head, with an unhappy expression on her face, "I was beaten before, but it hurt much more than this, I didn't even cry."

Feng Ruoliu's expression changed immediately: So, the elder sister remembers the past?Then she deliberately turned a blind eye to the bullying and abuse of the elder sister, and the elder sister must have thought about it, would she also take revenge on her? "Sister, you—"

"Second Sister, do you feel sorry for Bauhinia?" Feng Ruotong looked at her with a smile, deliberately pretending not to see her shocked, "There is a saying that 'it is the fault of the father', although you are not Bauhinia's parents, Second Sister, But she is your girl, she made a mistake, you can take it on her behalf."
