Chapter 59 [59] Secret Substitution

"Miss Feng San, Miss Feng Wu, what happened?"

The Queen's face darkened and she looked a little embarrassed. Her intuition told her that Feng Lingyun's tears must be related to Feng Lingyan.

Madam Feng also had an unpleasant expression on her face. She glanced at Feng Lingyan, then quickly went over to hold the crying Feng Lingyun in her arms and comforted her: "Yun'er, what's wrong? Why are you crying so sadly?"

Feng Lingyun sobbed, "Mom, I want my third sister to come with me and plead for my eldest sister. She just had a miscarriage. Kneeling on the ground for too long will hurt her body."

"The third sister said that my eldest sister and I are sisters, so she won't join in the fun."

"I felt sad, so I cried like a loser."

Feng Lingyun's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked pitiful no matter how you looked at her.

"Yan Yan, I know you have resentment in your heart, but Yun'er's face is like this, and I don't blame you."

"Now Xue'er is being punished to kneel. You two are sisters after all. Why are you so heartless?"

Madam Feng's rage was rising, and she had no idea that her people were on their way back to the palace with the Queen Mother's handwritten letter.

It was secretly replaced by Qing Yan. When he replaced it, he quickly copied the contents above, making the replica exactly the same, ensuring that no one would notice that it was not the original.

"Aunt, what you said is wrong. Do you know what your precious daughter said?"

Feng Lingyan paused deliberately to whet the appetite of Madam Feng and the Queen, and also made Feng Lingyun at the side feel uneasy. She twisted her handkerchief with both hands in annoyance, and it was obvious that she was guilty.

"Yun'er is very simple. What can she say with her brain? Is it worthy of your ridicule?" Madam Feng was so angry that her heart ached. Damn Feng Lingyan, she really didn't want to see her charming face that seduced men wandering around in the world again.

"Naive? Haha, your aunt doesn't understand your little daughter at all."

"Just now, in order to achieve her goal, she even asked me to use the whip to deal with the Queen."

"If I really did that, what do you think would happen to me?"

Feng Lingyan said it lightly, but Madam Feng was frightened. The Queen was furious, and the look she gave Feng Lingyun became especially cold.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable to her, Feng Lingyun quickly shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no! It's not like that. Third sister deliberately distorted my meaning."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't mean it. I love you, Your Majesty. How could I be so vicious?"

"Mother, it was really an unintentional mistake. I just wanted Third Sister to use the whip to deal with the palace maids and eunuchs who were watching Big Sister being punished. I definitely had no intention of targeting the Queen."

"Your Majesty, please understand! This minister really did not mean what Third Sister said."

Feng Lingyun's mind was working rapidly as she quickly defended herself. Although her reasons were lame, they were still tenable. She knocked her head heavily on the ground. Anyone who saw her would think that she really said that unintentionally.

“Empress???” Madam Feng wished she could stop Feng Lingyun from kowtow-ing. If she continued to kowtow, her forehead would become red and swollen.

"Forget it, forget it. Hurry up and help Yun'er up. This girl is just too simple. She doesn't have as many thoughts as other girls."

The queen was furious but could only control her temper. At the moment, her handle was still in the hands of Madam Feng and had not been destroyed. However, she couldn't stand Feng Lingyan's arrogance. She didn't take her as the queen seriously at all. She was exactly the same as her dead mother and was extremely hateful.

"Aunt, do you still want the Rejuvenating Pill? If not, I have eaten my snacks and drunk my tea, and it is time to go home." Feng Lingyan didn't want to beat around the bush with them anymore, so she asked directly.

"Yan Yan, we are all family, isn't 100,000 gold too expensive? Can it be less? How about 50,000 taels of gold?"

Madam Feng's face froze. Sensing Feng Lingyun's expectant eyes, she couldn't ignore it, so she could only bite the bullet and bargain with Feng Lingyan.

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold. I won't sell it if it's one cent less!" Feng Lingyan pursed her lips and chuckled. Not only was she unmoved, she directly raised the price.

Madam Feng: “…”

Queen: "..."

Feng Lingyun: "..."

They looked at each other and really wanted to rush up and tear Feng Lingyan's face apart. How could she be so hateful?
It seems so natural for her to raise the price, why doesn't she just go and grab it?
"Ah, Fifth Sister, it seems that you are just like that in your mother's heart. If Big Sister's face is ruined, even if it is one million taels of gold, your mother will definitely buy it for Big Sister without blinking an eye."

Feng Lingyan smiled sweetly and looked very happy. She took the opportunity to sow discord between Feng Lingyun and Madam Feng. She wanted to see whether Madam Feng would bleed heavily for Feng Lingyun.

Gong Yanchen, who was worried about her and had sent a wisp of his spiritual sense to check the situation here, curled up the corners of his lips slightly, which surprised Emperor Jing.

"Mom! Do you really only love my eldest sister and not Yun'er? Is what my third sister said true?" The expectation in Feng Lingyun's eyes faded away little by little, her voice choked, and tears dripped down her cheeks.

The Queen couldn't bear to watch this any longer. She couldn't help but frown and said, "Madam Feng, Yun'er and Feng Lingxue are both your daughters. You can't favor one over the other."

"Besides, I have said that I am willing to pay half of your consultation fee. Why are you still bargaining with a junior and losing your identity?"

The queen was very angry. She had to pay an extra 25,000 taels of gold all of a sudden, and it really hurt.

"It's all my fault, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Madam Feng was almost gritting her teeth. She lowered her eyes to hide the resentment in her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she raised her eyes again, there was a gentle smile on her face: "Yan Yan, then it's as you said, 150,000 taels of gold. It's getting late today, how about tomorrow morning, I will prepare the gold and come to you to buy the Rejuvenating Pill?"

At that moment, Madam Feng really wanted to cut Feng Lingyan into pieces, but with so many eyes watching her, she still had to maintain her reputation.

"No problem, Queen, I have something else to ask Master, so I'll take my leave now."

Feng Lingyan quickly stood up and said goodbye, leaving without a single cloud behind.

"Mrs. Feng, look at what you are doing."

"I bargained with her, but instead of reducing the price by a cent, she asked for an extra 50,000 taels of gold! Tell me, what can I say about you?"

The Queen's face looked extremely ugly, but she forgot that she had just said that she would help Madam Feng to bargain with Feng Lingyan, but Madam Feng had just taken the lead.

"It's all my fault. Don't worry, Your Majesty. When I return home, I will make up the 100,000 taels of gold. Your Majesty's contribution of 50,000 taels of gold is already a great gift to Yun'er. Yun'er, why don't you come over and thank the Queen for her kindness?"

Madam Feng gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger. At this moment, she was still thankful that she had Linglong Pavilion and Juyun Tower, two shops that made a fortune every day, otherwise she would have been in great pain.
