These shallow people who judge only by appearances actually have the audacity to regret not noticing earlier how beautiful Susu is.
Yet with Feng Qiwu’s words filled with cold murderous intent, the men who were just staring at Bai Susu in a daze suddenly jolted, hurriedly averting their eyes, terrified of being targeted by Feng Qiwu, the god of death. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⸺fire.net
The ladies also quickly shifted their gazes, filled with surprise and uncontrollable jealousy.
The handkerchiefs in their hands were twisted into a bundle.
Some thought angrily: Today’s limelight has been completely stolen by Bai Susu!
Bai Susu looked at Feng Qiwu helplessly.
"Your Highness, keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!" Bai Susu whispered repeatedly, feeling her cheeks burning with embarrassment.
This is practically a large-scale social death scene, isn’t it?
What if others weren’t even looking at her?
Yet with Feng Qiwu’s shout, it seemed like everyone was indeed looking at her.
She wouldn’t be so narcissistic to think she’s adored by everyone like a blooming flower.
One should have a clear understanding of oneself, otherwise, it’s easy to get carried away!
Upon hearing Bai Susu’s words, Feng Qiwu finally withdrew his cold gaze, then softly replied, "Alright, I won’t shout at them anymore."
He knew she was thin-skinned.
But she really didn’t realize how her previous appearance could so easily evoke the desire in men to conquer her or tear her apart and devour her.
Since she didn’t like him reprimanding those people in public, he would just do it privately.
Meanwhile, Feng Wuchen also regained his senses with a melancholic loss.
In fact, during the Empress Dowager’s birthday last time, he had already noticed how incredibly beautiful Bai Susu was.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone along with Bai Wanwan’s suggestion back then.
Yet he still underestimated Bai Susu’s beauty.
He truly hadn’t expected the real Bai Susu to be even more enchanting and captivating.
Such a goddess-like woman actually belonged to the second brother.
How great it would have been if his plan had succeeded back then?
That way, the alluring Bai Susu could only sob night after night beneath him.
And married to the madman second brother... who knows what kind of brutal and inhumane abuses she would face?
With this in mind, Feng Wuchen slowly withdrew his gaze.
He didn’t notice that Feng Qiwu was looking at him as if he were already dead.
Did he think Feng Qiwu was blind and couldn’t see his barely concealed regret and pity?
Meanwhile, near the Prince Mansion’s carriage.
Bai Wanwan glanced at Bai Susu, then turned to look at Feng Changge.
She expected Feng Changge to be as stunned by Bai Susu’s beauty as other men, too astounded to move his eyes. But looking back, Feng Changge was entirely unfazed, casually waving his folding fan, showing no trace of amazement.
For a moment, Bai Wanwan was taken aback.
Since when did the old lecher Feng Changge become so composed in front of beauty?
Just then, Feng Changge looked over at her.
Seeing her staring in surprise, Feng Changge’s lips curled with mischief as he stepped forward, "Wan Wan, why are you looking at me like that?"
With Feng Changge’s words, the Great Imperial Concubine and another consort both turned their gaze to Bai Wanwan.
Bai Wanwan quickly calmed down, and said lightly, "It’s nothing, I’m just surprised at how beautiful my sister looks when she dresses up properly."
"I see, but Wan Wan, you don’t have to envy her because, in my eyes, you’re even more beautiful than she is," Feng Changge laughed heartily.
Especially when you’re atop me on the bed, wielding a little whip with a commanding presence.
Hearing this, Bai Wanwan’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
She looked at Feng Changge with some bewilderment, her feelings complex.
Whether Feng Changge’s words were sincere or not,
this was the first time someone thought of her as better than Bai Susu!
And with Feng Changge’s main consort and another consort hearing his words, they couldn’t help but glance at Bai Wanwan.
Silently thinking: As expected of Prime Minister Bai’s granddaughter, although merely a concubine’s daughter, in such a short time, she’s won the Eldest Prince’s favor.
Jealous of Bai Wanwan?
On the contrary, they just hoped Bai Wanwan could keep delighting the Eldest Prince a little longer.
That way, they wouldn’t have to be tormented by the Eldest Prince, the pervert, in bed.
Each time they had to share a bed with the Eldest Prince, it was no different from a cruel punishment for them.
"Your Highness flatters me, Wanwan still has some self-awareness," Bai Wanwan said, slightly lowering her eyelashes.
Upon hearing this, Feng Changge suddenly snapped his folding fan shut.
In the next moment, he reached out and gently lifted Bai Wanwan’s chin with the fan,
then said meaningfully, "Why belittle yourself, Wanwan? No matter how exceptional Bai Susu is, in some ways she can’t compare to you. At least in my eyes, you’re a thousand times better than she is."
No woman had ever truly dared to treat him like a servant before.
But Bai Wanwan dared.
Just for that, she was already stronger than all the women in the world.
And as Bai Wanwan heard this, she restrained the urge to swat away the fan at her chin, forcing a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
Outside, she had to be mindful of Feng Changge’s face and dignity and couldn’t carry on with their indoor antics.
But in her mind, she was thinking viciously: Tonight I’ll show you the consequences of lifting my chin!
At this time, the Emperor Feng Qingyang was smiling as he spoke to Prime Minister Bai, "Bai Xiang, it seems your granddaughter has captured the Crown Prince’s favor quite well. Look at him behaving so possessively!"
Upon hearing these words, Prime Minister Bai respectfully replied, "What Your Majesty said is right, now I can be at ease."
But in his heart, he silently cursed.
Your Heavenly Family’s father-and-son rivalry is one thing, but why drag my Susu into it as a pawn?
However, the Crown Prince’s acting skills were truly becoming more and more adept.
To achieve this performance, he even "cured" his misogyny, pretending to hold Susu’s hand in front of him with feigned affection was one thing, but he managed to act flawlessly in front of the Emperor as well.
To cooperate with the Crown Prince, she even bruised her own lips on the day of their betrothal, having to pretend it was swollen from the Crown Prince’s kiss!
If Bai Susu were to know Prime Minister Bai’s true thoughts at this moment, she would probably be dumbfounded.
After all, Prime Minister Bai’s previous demeanor clearly seemed to believe that Feng Qiwu had really done something to her.
Otherwise, why would he have even raised a broom to hit someone?
Yet never did he expect that in his heart... he actually didn’t believe that Feng Qiwu and she were genuinely involved, and their intimate gestures were all just an act in his eyes.
And his scrutinizing and even raising a broom to hit someone was all just to cooperate with them.
Otherwise, how would the Emperor know his stance?
