"Dad, Mom, why are you all here?"
The female voice was heavy with exhaustion.
Feng Tongtong hadn't yet grasped what had happened.
"Tongtong?"
Zhang Shi stared, as if struck by lightning, her feet rooted to the ground, unable to move.
Feng Guangyao was also startled.
To ruin Feng Ninghe's reputation, he had deliberately invited many people to witness the spectacle.
He was waiting to see Feng Ninghe's downfall and seize the treasury key.
But the woman lying in bed turned out to be Feng Tongtong?
The joke had landed on his own daughter?
Feng Tongtong finally realized, quickly lowering her gaze.
Her clothes were disheveled, and even more damning, Mo Zisang, who had just rushed out of the room, was also in disarray.
This time, she finally understood what had happened.
Feng Tongtong hastily tidied her clothes, stammering an explanation, "This... it has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything! This is definitely not what you think!"
Baili Ye stood outside the door with a dark expression, his large hands clenched tightly beneath his wide robes, his knuckles cracking.
Feng Tongtong, this disgraceful creature, not only embarrassed herself but also damaged his reputation by having his fiancée share a bed with another man.
But wasn't it Feng Ninghe who was supposed to be sent to the bed? How did it become Feng Tongtong?
Feng Tongtong, on the verge of tears, rushed to Baili Ye to explain, "Your Highness, please listen to me, I only know someone hit me hard on the back of the head, and I don't know what happened after that!"
Jiang Bugao clicked his tongue, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He deliberately drew out his words, "No wonder Brother Guangyao is so anxious; I would be anxious too."
Feng Guangyao's face instantly turned ashen.
If he had known this would happen, he would never have invited Jiang Bugao along.
Now, if he couldn't silence Jiang Bugao, this matter would soon become the talk of the town.
"There must be a misunderstanding. Tongtong is dignified and virtuous; she would never do such a thing!"
Feng Guangyao said with feigned seriousness, "Patriarch Jiang, we cannot jump to conclusions before the matter is clarified."
"Uncle, in front of everyone, a man and a woman in disarray sharing a room, everyone saw it with their own eyes. Can you explain why the third daughter of the Feng family is in the same room with an outsider?"
At this moment, a leisurely and light female voice reached everyone's ears.
A figure walked over unhurriedly.
The sunlight cast freely on her cheeks, illuminating her face, her eyes sparkling with the daylight, yet a hint of coldness could not be erased.
"Feng Ninghe! It's you! You must be the one causing trouble from behind the scenes!"
Feng Tongtong's eyes were fierce. She couldn't care less and rushed towards Feng Ninghe.
At this moment, she only wanted to kill Feng Ninghe!
Elder Xu waved his hand, and a surge of spiritual energy struck Feng Tongtong, knocking her to the ground.
Feng Ninghe curled her lips. The smile on her exquisite face was full of hidden meaning, her eyes clear and calm as water.
"You are the one lying in bed with a strange man. How could I be causing trouble? Oh, right... that man is Mo Zisang, the Enforcement Elder of the Immortal Sect."
The clear, bell-like female voice was utterly calm.
Feng Tongtong shrieked hysterically, her entire face turning red with shame and anger. Her sharp gaze fixed on Feng Ninghe like a wolf.
"Shut up! You shut up!"
"You must have plotted against me. You are corrupt. Five years ago, you colluded with a servant and acted wickedly together, and now you want to frame me..."
Before she could finish, a clear slap mark appeared on her cheek.
Feng Ninghe, without hesitation, slapped Feng Tongtong across the face.
As if her hand hurt, she gently rubbed her wrist, looking down at Feng Tongtong from above. "The third daughter of the Feng family is corrupt, colluding with an outsider and then speaking nonsense, attempting to smear others. We will decide the punishment after the clan elders deliberate. You disgraceful creature, why don't you hurry back to the Feng family?"
Her words were like knives, making people's faces turn green and white.
Feng Tongtong clutched her swollen cheek, her eyes filled with unwillingness. "My father is the head of the Feng family. He hasn't judged me yet, so on what grounds do you want to convict me with just a few words?"
"On the grounds that I am the acting head of the Feng family."
"Your father and you are close. You should avoid suspicion and not interfere. I will handle it, and I believe Uncle and Aunt will not object, right?"
Feng Ninghe said leisurely, her expression as if she were discussing something unrelated to her.
Her composed demeanor was completely different from her past self.
Feng Guangyao was so angry he could barely breathe, and for a moment, he didn't know how to retort.
Zhang Shi's eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
"Madam has fainted! Quickly take Madam back!"
The maid quickly called for someone to help Zhang Shi away.
Before fainting, Zhang Shi specifically winked at Taohua, and Taohua pulled Feng Tongtong away.
But Feng Tongtong was in a fit of rage and unwilling to leave so easily.
"Feng Ninghe, you are so heartless. My parents treated you well, yet you treat us like this, and today you designed to frame me!"
Feng Tongtong couldn't care less and said whatever came to mind. She stood up and rushed towards Feng Ninghe again.
"Enough!"
This time, Feng Guangyao couldn't stand it and stepped forward to stop her. "Take the third daughter back quickly!"
They were still at the First Prince's mansion, and outsiders were watching, so they had to quickly take Feng Tongtong back to avoid further embarrassment.
Upon receiving the order, Taohua pulled Feng Tongtong away.
"Brother Baili Ye, please listen to my explanation..."
When her gaze shifted to Baili Ye, Feng Tongtong put on a wronged expression again, her eyes reddened, and she bit her lip as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Baili Ye's gaze was deep. He reached out and patted Feng Tongtong's shoulder, lowering his voice so only they could hear. "Tongtong, go back first. I'll come to you later."
Not far away.
Several figures stood in the shadows.
A hint of interest flickered in Sixth Master's eyes.
Sensing Sixth Master's gaze, Su Xian couldn't help but say, "Sixth Master, this eldest daughter of the Feng family is not stupid, but she has no cultivation base. It's a waste of such intelligence."
Sixth Master didn't say much. He turned and left generously.
In the Tianxue Mountain secret realm, with that great demon king present, Feng Ninghe was still able to obtain the Yan Ling Lotus. This woman is definitely not ordinary.
On the other side, Jiang Manman was staring at a white figure in the crowd.
This woman's mind is clear, but a sharp mind alone might not be enough to become a disciple of Immortal Xu.
Or perhaps, Feng Ninghe is far more complex than she imagined. kuAiδugg
"Patriarch Jiang, I heard you were looking for a certain herb a few days ago. I happen to have one. If you could help me with a small favor..."
As she spoke, Feng Guangyao nimbly took out a crystal-clear herb.
Upon seeing the herb, Jiang Bugao's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed, "Of course, of course. What favor does Brother Guangyao need?"
Feng Guangyao was busy trying to win over Jiang Bugao and paid no attention to Feng Ninghe beside him.
There weren't many people present. As long as he could silence Jiang Bugao, he would find a way to cover this matter up.
Feng Ninghe took a step, but before she could walk far, Baili Ye caught up from behind and called out to her.
