Chapter 495 Is that what you taught her?
With a pallid complexion, she immediately kowtowed. " I was upset and couldn\'t control my feelings, and that\'s why I said those words that dirtied Lord Fei\'s ears, please forgive me. I really didn\'t know that you were here, Lord."
Though she apologised to Lord Fei inwardly she was cursing the servants for being useless and not telling her that lord Fei actually came to their house, what were those idiot servants doing? They should have warned her that her father was receiving an esteemed guest, then she would have kept a check on her words, now look her image in front of lord Fei has crumbled.
It wasn\'t that the servants didn\'t try to stop Wang Ruoqing, they did .. the situation inside was chaotic enough and they tried their best to keep Wang Ruoqing from making it worse but this hedonist and the arrogant young lady didn\'t listen to them at all and when they tried to stop her she slapped three maids, one of them was around ten and was immediately pushed on the floor with the impact. The servants were also humans when they saw that she was acting like this, they didn\'t bother with her anymore and let her do what she wanted, the house was going to fall into ruin anyway.
Lord Fei picked up the important part in her speech, he smiled kindly as he patted the back of Shen Junxi\'s, the latter was too angry to think straight, if not for him maybe the Wang family would have become a battleground. It\'s the Wang family\'s fortune that he was here, or else- his lips curled in a sneer before he morphed his expression to that of a kind grandpa and asked " Upset? Who made the young lady of the Wang feel upset?"
Lord Wang and the matriarch stiffened, they hoped that Wang Ruoqing would be smart enough to understand the underlying meaning of Lord Fei but they were deemed to be disappointed because Wang Ruoqing was after all just a young lady whose mind was only limited to scheming in the courtyard of the mansion beyond that she couldn\'t think of anything. Thus, when Lord Fei asked her this question instead of thinking it through carefully, Wang Ruoqing thought that Lord Fei was worried about her, she didn\'t even think about why the great imperial uncle of the Emperor would worry about her but she was conceited enough to believe that maybe she charmed Lord Fei when she went to the selection for Lord Fei\'s grandchildren.
She smiled with stars in her eyes as she looked at Lord Fei and answered, " It was a commoner, she runs a stupid shop in the town. She isn\'t apt in her skills but she still dared to sell those lacklustre products in her shop. This lowly one brought a cream perfume from her shop and got rashes. I thought that what she was selling was something good and bought it but in the end, she turned out to be a con woman, that\'s why I sent her to the yamen, like this she will not be able to harm anyone as she harmed me."
Con woman? Ohho, so his good granddaughter became a con woman in such just a single day, why didn\'t he know about it? He seldom came in contact with these officials, let alone pay attention to what they were doing to think that they were this lawless. His old eyes fell on the reddish rashes that were popping on the back of Wang Ruoqing and suddenly frowned- just for such a small thing she pressurised the yamen? Was this girl\'s brain filled with water? He does admit that she wasn\'t completely wrong but that didn\'t mean that she had the right to mobilise the yamen like her father\'s background.
He smiled at her with a shrewd glint in his eyes as he looked at Wang Ruoqing and said, " so, for the sake of your sense of justice, it\'s fine for you to forget the laws of our country? Have you forgotten that the commoners have their rights but so do the shopkeepers. Do you think that without the ruling of the yamen and giving the woman a chance to defend herself, it\'s fine for you to send her to the yamen? If everyone started to act like you then by the end of just one year, the entire population of shopkeepers and merchants would take a sharp drop." Then he motioned at the red rashes on Wang Ruoqing\'s skin and sternly asked, " Do you think that for a small injury like that it was fair for you to mobilise and pressurise the Yamen officers? You even wanted them to punish that girl with physical punishment, do you think that you can do anything just because the Wang family is a family of officials? You think commoners are just your stepping stones is that it ?"
The more Lord Fei spoke the angrier he got when he went to war, the officials were the first who panicked and retreated but it was these commoners who were foolish yet loyal to their country who raised their arms and joined the army. They didn\'t have to but they did because they loved their country and were willing to lay their lives for their country. Lord Wei once fought with commoners beside him, he even saw them die for their country with a smile, thus he sympathised with commoners a lot.
At first, he just wanted to teach a small lesson to the Wang family but after listening to what Wang Ruoqing had to say about commoners, he was furious. He tightly clenched the teacup in his hand - his grip was so hard that the cup shattered.
"Lord Fei!"
"My lord !"
The people surrounding Lord Fei cried but he just raised his hand and stopped them, he turned to Lord Wang and coldly asked, " Is this what you have been teaching your daughter, Lord Wang? Have you forgotten just how many commoners died on the battlefield in the last war? Have you forgotten all about it?"
Lord Wang\'s heart that was hanging by the string dropped to the bottom of his stomach and rolled somewhere he couldn\'t sense it - he was done for, this was the end.
