Yuan Fangfei covered her mouth and smiled while she said to Lady Dongfang, “Precisely. Her looks are so-so, and she came from a small place like Guiyuan. She has no status and looks so ordinary. I really don’t know what the Demon King sees in her.”
“She does look good, but like a vixen. Perhaps her methods are those dirty means.” Lady Dongfang had originally thought more favorably of Feng Tianlan. But now, the more she looked at her, the more she felt she was a vixen.
Yuan Fangfei looked at her contemptuously and said, “Had she not been skilled in servicing him, the Demon King would not have taken a fancy to her. From the way I see it, other than through those kinds of means, she could not be compared to Fourth Miss in other things.”
Lady Dongfang did not speak. She just could not help but look up to appraise Feng Tianlan. She saw that she ate elegantly. Even when she spoke to the Princess, she did not whisper in confidence. But that voice could not be heard by other people. When it came down to it, such a person really could not be faulted.
However, she was far worse when compared with her Chu’er. Only her family’s Chu’er was worthy of the Demon King.
“I don’t know what kind of bewitching means she has to have been on such good terms with the Princess. Ah, you need to be careful. It’s better that Fourth Miss doesn’t like the Demon King. Otherwise, who knows what’s going to happen if she were to find out?” Yuan Fangfei kindly reminded Lady Dongfang. But in fact, it was instigation in the ears of people with intentions.
Listening to Yuan Fangfei’s words, Lady Dongfang also briefly gave Feng Tianlan a disdainful glance. She said, “That is because our Chu’er finds it beneath her to compete with that woman. Otherwise, how is she allowed to act so shamelessly?”
Yuan Fangfei hurriedly responded and then followed the other woman’s lead in her words to say more about how only the Dongfang Family’s Fourth Miss was worthy of the Demon King. Feng Tianlan was not even worthy of carrying his shoes. She sought to sow as much discord as she could.
Feng Tianlan felt the glances they frequently cast over and frowned. She came to Lin’an City and did not participate in any floral appreciation. She had not met Lady Dongfang before. Why was she so hostile toward her?
“Dongfang Chu likes the Demon King, which is something everyone knows.” Xi Lin also felt their eyes. She quickly explained when she saw Feng Tianlan’s puzzled expression.
The corners of Feng Tianlan’s mouth twitched, and she said, “I didn’t know.”
She knew Dongfang Chu was the Fourth Miss of the Dongfang Aristocratic Family. Her status was comparable to Luo Shiyun, and she was beautiful. It could even be said that in her previous life, they occupied the same spot for Dongshu Nation’s top beauty. The two people were on par, and each had their own beauty.
In her previous life, she seemed to have a passable impression of Dongfang Chu. Just like her name, she was somewhat pitiful in a lovely way. Her extremely delicate appearance was very much to men’s liking.
Although the two of them occupied the same spot for Dongshu Nation’s top beauty, most men wanted to marry Dongfang Chu in their hearts, because she was like a willow branch trembling in the wind. Coupled with the soft and delicate way she spoke, she also seemed able to do everything. Unlike her, Feng Tianlan only seemed to stir up trouble and act like a crazy girl everywhere she went.
“It was Dongfang Chu who once went out the street when the sun was strong and directly fainted when she passed by the Demon King. She fell into the arms of the Demon King…” At which point, Xi Lin deliberately stopped speaking and looked up at Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan waited for a while. When she saw that no words continued, she turned her head to look at Xi Lin and said with a smile, “And then Mobai sent her flying, and she was secretly in love?”
“Tianlan, you know this as well. I stopped on purpose because I wanted to see how you would react. Whether you would be jealous of it.”
Feng Tianlan smiled helplessly and said, “Mobai has an aversion toward women.”
