  **Chapter 264: The Stage at the Marquis Jinyang’s Residence**

   

Feng Xuanbo wasn’t foolish; it was obvious that the ugly pouch was something his mother had made specifically for Feng Xuanrui.

 

He wasn’t jealous, though, because after all, Feng Xuanrui was their mother’s biological son, and it was only natural for a mother to make things for her own child.


Moreover...


That pouch was so ugly, Feng Xuanbo thought. Honestly, he wasn’t very interested in it either.


However, that didn’t stop him from teasing Feng Xuanrui.


Feng Xuanbo enjoyed seeing Feng Xuanrui’s disgruntled face, knowing that the little one couldn’t refute him.


He he, it was a strange kind of pleasure from teasing his younger brother.


Feng Xuanrui would’ve loved to cover Feng Xuanbo’s mouth.


But at that moment, Suisui came over, her bright round eyes lighting up as she looked at the pouch on her brother’s chest: “This was sewn by Mother, it’s super pretty!!!”


The little child, like a proud peacock, lifted her head high, eager for the whole world to know that the pouch was sewn by their mother and that it was particularly, particularly beautiful!


Children’s sense of beauty is illogical; what their mother makes is always the best, no arguments accepted.


Feng Xuanbo, who had originally planned to mock Feng Xuanrui, immediately changed his tune when he heard Suisui say that. He smiled and said, “As expected, Suisui has good taste! Fifth Brother was just about to praise Sixth brother’s pouch. Fifth Brother is envious, you know?”


Feng Xuanrui: ?  


Fifth Brother, I never imagined you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would lie so blatantly!


Feng Xuanrui looked at Feng Xuanbo in disbelief.


Feng Xuanbo, unbothered, let him stare, while slyly holding Suisui’s hand.


Liu Hemeng, who had been pushed aside, wasn’t angry. She simply walked over and took Shen Huatang’s hand.


Feng Xuanrui had originally planned to argue with Feng Xuanbo, but when he saw that his sister’s hand had been taken away, he quickly squeezed himself into the group.


Feng Xuanbin, not understanding why they were squeezing, followed suit and squeezed in too!


Suisui had always believed that whatever their mother made was the best.


Now, after hearing Fifth Brother’s praise, she proudly lifted her little head even higher: “Right, right, Mother made it the best, I like it the most!”


Although their mother had only made something for her older brothers, Suisui wasn’t jealous, nor was she upset.


Her brothers were the best in the world, and good things should be given to them.


So, it was fine that she didn’t have one.


As long as her brothers had it, that was good enough!


The children played and laughed as they made their way outside.


Feng Xuanrui had originally felt embarrassed to wear the ugly pouch his mother had sewn, but after Suisui’s praise, he thought...


It actually wasn’t that ugly.


Moreover, it had a very distinct personal touch.


Upon closer inspection, it even had its own charm.


With these thoughts in mind, Feng Xuanrui puffed out his chest, and even his steps seemed to carry a bit of pride.


In today’s class, the first half was a review of previous lessons, while the second half followed the young masters’ progress.

Suisui has not yet had formal enlightenment education, and there are many things she doesn’t understand.


However, Prince Qi has already discussed with Master Shen and arranged for him to provide private lessons for Suisui. Each day, he will set aside the time it takes to burn one incense stick to personally teach her.


The child is still young, so they plan to teach her slowly.


Moreover, this is considered a private tutoring arrangement with a famous teacher, one-on-one lessons, so regardless of how the schedule is arranged, there’s plenty of time.


Master Shen has a good impression of Suisui and sympathizes with her past misfortunes, especially since his granddaughter likes her.


Therefore, he had no objections to giving Suisui this special arrangement.


Of course, the most important reason is...

 

The residence of Marquis Jinyang has been in chaos recently. The Xu family no longer has the time or energy to make trouble for the Xie family, which has made life much easier for his niece.


Regarding the incident where his niece had her head injured, when Master Shen visited later, he inquired about the cause. It turned out that the injury was an unwarranted misfortune.


The wife of Marquis Jinyang went to the Xie family to find Marquis Jinyang's sister and complained about her husband’s behavior.


Since Master Xie is the Minister of Justice, Marquis Jinyang’s wife’s plan was to find an excuse to have the women, who were residing at a country estate as Marquis Jinyang’s mistresses, all arrested on charges and locked away until they died!


Of course, whether this fell under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice was another matter.


But the real problem was... what excuse could there be?


To arrest someone, you need evidence, you need a reason. Just because they are mistresses, does that mean they should be arrested? What if the woman had just kept her husband in check from the beginning?


Marquis Jinyang’s wife wasn’t ignorant, but after all these years, she had gone a bit mad. And since Madam Xie had a soft temperament, she was always easily controlled by her.

 

Thus, whenever Marquis Jinyang's wife was upset, she would cause a scene at the Xie family’s residence.


On that day, Master Shen’s niece happened to be passing by. She wasn’t unaware of the Xu family’s nature, so when they showed up, she deliberately avoided them.


However, she wasn’t able to avoid them completely. Halfway through, a shoe came flying out of nowhere and hit her head.


Her head wasn’t actually injured, but it did become red.


However, Madam Xie, not wanting to make things worse, told others that her injuries were far more serious, and that her husband had to mediate to maintain peace in the family. Her father-in-law also wouldn’t intervene.


Thus, Madam Xie exaggerated the severity of the injury, claiming she was still bedridden.


It was actually Marquis Jinyang’s wife who caused Madam Xie’s injury.


Whether it was Master Xie’s eldest son or Master Xie himself, neither of them could ignore such an incident.


Eventually, Marquis Jinyang’s wife left the Xie residence in tears, and not only did Master Xie’s eldest son accompany her, but they also brought along compensation as they left.


After this incident, Marquis Jinyang’s wife became even more irritable. When she returned home, she was scolded by the old matriarch and then proceeded to vent her frustrations in the residence.


Master Shen, following the advice of Physician Liu, used some means and connections to make Marquis Jinyang act impulsively and bring back one of his pregnant mistresses to temporarily stay in the residence.


Marquis Jinyang’s wife had already been wronged, and seeing her husband’s actions only made her lose control.


It is said that Marquis Jinyang, in an effort to protect his pregnant mistress, was scratched on the face, leaving visible scars, and has not gone out in public recently.


In the past, he might not have openly appeared in places like restaurants and brothels every day, but at least once every few days, people would spot him.


Recently, however, he has remained very quiet in the residence.


In the end, the pregnant mistress was sent away to give birth elsewhere.


Not only because Marquis Jinyang’s wife opposed it, but also because of the turmoil caused by her actions...


There were doubts about whether the child would even survive.


Due to these events, the atmosphere in Marquis Jinyang’s residence has been quite tense recently, with everyone on edge.


Also, since the incident with Master Xie publicly humiliating Marquis Jinyang, it seems unlikely that they will stir up any trouble with the Xie family in the near future.


Although this may not be a long-term solution.


However, family relationships are complicated.


Master Xie is already quite old, and it’s hard to imagine him divorcing his wife at this stage.


They still have children and grandchildren to consider, and the reputation of the family is also at stake.


All in all, there are too many factors involved, and unless absolutely necessary, divorce is not a viable option.


But even so, Master Shen felt relieved that his niece had been able to get some revenge.


In a good mood, Master Shen’s demeanor became much kinder during lessons.


The young masters of the household felt a bit uneasy at the sight of such a friendly and gentle teacher.


When Master Shen is in such a good mood...


Would he be holding back some big surprise?
