Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 2)

Chapter 359-360

Chapter 359 The Wedding Proceeds and Feng Yulei Gets Demoted

In the palace, Emperor Zongwen had already received the message. When he heard that something so embarrassing had happened, he was so angry that he smashed the dragon-patterned jade paperweight on the table into smithereens. Then, he paced inside the hall, frustrated.

Nothing so embarrassing had ever happened in the Qin Kingdom!

The princes’ bridal sedan chairs had been mixed up on their wedding day. Not only had that happened, but a pair had also already been anxious to consummate the marriage. Even though it had not happened, it was already a great embarrassment to the royal family. This was a matter of the Empire’s dignity. Furthermore, his eldest son had been made a cuckold. Even if Emperor Zongwen had never been especially close to Feng Yuxuan, the Emperor was still furious.

He felt that the Ding General Manor’s daughter was a slut!

It was human nature to be selfish and people often felt that if their family was in the wrong, the others had to have made even worse mistakes.

“Your Majesty, since the matter has already reached this stage and before a grave mistake is made, why don’t we let them return to their manors.” The Empress Dowager forced herself to go to the imperial study to persuade the Emperor.

The Empress was kneeling on the ground. She had been scolded badly and could only cry.

Even though the Empress and the Empress Dowager did not get along and each served a different master, they were both from the Ding General Manor. The reputation of the daughters of the Ding General Manor would affect their reputations. No matter what had happened, they must not allow Ling Fengyan’s reputation to be ruined. They could only stand hand in hand and speak up for each other at a time like this.

“Empress Dowager, you do not have to persuade me. The royal family cannot afford to marry a woman like that. It would be best to let her return to her own home lest the Ding General Manor be embarrassed.” The Emperor’s expression was stern and furious. He glanced coldly at Feng Yulei, who was kneeling beside the Empress. The Emperor clenched his hand into a fist, wanting desperately to hit Feng Yulei’s face.

Everyone knew that Feng Yulei and Ling Fengyan were childhood sweethearts. Earlier on, Feng Yulei had even made a fuss and said he wanted to marry Ling Fengyan. It was hard for anyone to believe that he was not involved in the matter. Furthermore, Feng Yulei’s behavior was odd today. It would have taken some time for the matron of honor to tear the canopy after the newlyweds were brought into the nuptial chambers. After that, he had to go to offer wine to his guests. It should be late at night after he was done with that. Why was Feng Yulei so anxious to scream that he wanted to consummate the marriage?

If his eldest son had not gone quickly enough, it would have been a done deal!

The Emperor truly did not believe that Feng Yulei did not know anything about it!

In ordinary circumstances, who would be so anxious to seal the deal? It was a respectable and serious wedding. It was not as if he had found a woman randomly.

“Father, please seek justice for me.” Feng Yuxuan’s expression was dark and he seemed haggard. It was as if he had suffered blows. He knelt in front of Emperor Zongwen, and even though he did not say anything, anyone could tell that he felt wronged and had suffered grievances.

If they really wanted to talk about it, he was the one who had suffered a loss!

“Son, get up first and stand at the side. Speak to me again after I ask my questions.”

“Yes, Father.” Feng Yuxuan showed an incredible amount of grace. Even though he was so angry his expression was dark and twisted, he did not make a fuss nor shout. He stood by the side and listened quietly with a cold expression on his face. Emperor Zongwen could not help but feel that his eldest son was sensible and gracious.
