Chapter 115 - 115 117 The Battle for the Luxury Mansion

?Chapter 115: Chapter 117: The Battle for the Luxury Mansion Chapter 115: Chapter 117: The Battle for the Luxury Mansion With those blood-sucking leeches of the Feng Family gone, these past few days at the Princess’ Mansion, both Feng Bailing and her daughter have been sleeping very well.

However, at the other end of the Princess’ Mansion, Feng Zhanlian, fuming with anger, did not sleep a wink all night.

The Princess’ Mansion was divided into two parts: the main gate was sealed, and the plaque was taken down. The storeroom was also allocated to the east wing, and Dongfang Lianhua took all the servant contracts after she was ordered to live separately.

Moreover, the courtyard that came with the east wing was the largest; the other wings only had small courtyards left, each with barely one or two maids or nannies. This made the people of the Feng Family green with rage.

“My lord, don’t be angry. I’ll hire new maids and servants for you tomorrow.”

Lady Nan Feng smiled warmly, staying by Feng Zhanlian’s side, soothing him.

“You understand me so well, Nan Feng.”

Feng Zhanlian, caressing Lady Nan Feng’s hand, now had a smile on his face.

“In half a year, we will all be kicked out. What’s the point of having so many people? Moreover, we don’t have enough silver to hire them. The Princess took all the shops and fiefs.”

Aunt Xue said sourly, seeing the affectionate behavior between Lady Nan Feng and Feng Zhanlian.

“My Lord, actually I think the Princess’ Mansion is old and worn-out, it’s uncomfortable to live in. I’ve already arranged for someone to purchase the mansion next door. Within a couple of days, once the furniture is settled, we can move in.”

Lady Nan Feng sneered inwardly. How dare a mere scholar’s daughter oppose her?

“Nan Feng, you’re truly my precious darling.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhanlian felt like heaven had sent him a pie, leaving him dazzled.

He jumped up and planted a big kiss on Lady Nan Feng.

He had been worrying last night; if he truly divorced Dongfang Lianhua, even his status as Prince Consort would be gone, and he might lose his cushy official position. Without a salary and lacking shops, his entire family might end up destitute.

Now, hearing about Lady Nan Feng’s grand gesture, he cast all his troubles aside.

The mansion next to the Princess’ Mansion used to belong to the late Duke An. After Duke An’s death, his descendants settled in their fiefs, leaving the grand mansion vacant.

That mansion was much larger than the Princess’ Mansion, with several successive sections, southern-style pavilions, and northern-style broad martial arts grounds. It was said that the mansion was vast enough to ride horses in.

Feng Zhanlian had always dreamed of living in such a splendid mansion. Compared to it, the Princess’ Mansion was nothing but a shabby stable.

Aunt Xue’s face became even uglier; she looked resentfully at her daughter, Feng Xiangxue.

But Feng Xiangxue’s eyes quickly lit up with joy.

Aunt Xue had lost all her savings to Jubao House. Now she was embarrassed for funds; it was all her mother’s fault for betting everything on Luochen’s future.

Feng Xiangxue thought about her upcoming marriage. The Crown Princess Consort had said that she would soon have an excellent opportunity. If she seized it, she could go from being one of Dongfang Li’s concubines to his concubine.

If she truly became a concubine, she would bring a significant dowry. That dowry money, she hoped, would come from Lady Nan Feng.

“Aunt Nan, I heard that Duke An’s Mansion even has a dedicated music pavilion and flower room; I’ve been longing to see them.”

Although Feng Xiangxue truly looked down on women like Lady Nan Feng who came from the demi-monde, she did not despise Lady Nan Feng’s silver.

“This morning, I can take you few to the mansion to look around. I’ve even hung up the signboard; it’s called Feng Mansion.”

Having said that, Feng Zhanlian was too eager to wait. He gathered Feng Zhan Tian’s family and, supporting Old Madam Feng, the whole family was overjoyed to go to Duke An’s Mansion — oh no, to Feng Mansion.

“What’s all this commotion outside so early in the morning?”

Today, Princess Consort Shun was coming to propose marriage, so Feng Bailing got up early to prepare Feng Xiaoli, asking Chun Liu to send Feng Xiaoli to the Imperial Academy.

As soon as they arrived at the doorstep, they saw the Feng Family exiting through a side gate.

Upon seeing Feng Bailing and her daughter, Feng Zhanlian straightened his back.

“South Wind, you have used your own private funds to purchase such a large residence for the Feng Family. What kind of virtue and ability do I possess to marry you? Unlike some people, selfish and self-centered, ungrateful, daring to plot against their own birth father. What goes around comes around, and there will be retribution sooner or later.”

Feng Zhanlian had a smug look on his face that suggested the success of a crook.

“Speaking of which, Sister Bailing, you should quickly persuade the Princess to allow Aunt Nan to enter the household. That way, she could move into the new residence and no longer have to live in that leaky, haunted old house.”

Feng Xiangxue spoke with feigned consideration.

Feng Bailing raised an eyebrow and glanced at the large residence next door.

Lady Nan Feng was truly generous. The purchase of such a grand estate must have cost a massive sum of 200,000 taels.

Yet, if she had that amount of money, why insist on living next to the Princess’ Mansion? There are many other residencies with good feng shui and large courtyards in Chu City, like Duke An’s Mansion.

“My mother has no such fortune to live in a luxury mansion. I’ve seen plenty of people living off others, but never an entire family doing it with such delight.”

Bai Ling shook her head.

The faces of the Feng family members darkened.

“Why waste words on her, a doomed short-lived creature.”

Feng Zhanlian spat with disdain.

What did it matter that she married Dugu Wu? It was still uncertain how long she could live.

Little Feng Xiaoli puffed out her cheeks; she had been attending more of the teacher’s lectures recently and had learned many new words.

The term ‘doomed short-lived creature’ was not something to be said lightly.

Dare to curse Her Majesty!

Just then, there was a loud bang. The signboard that had been hung up that morning, which bore the inscription “Feng Mansion,” started to shake and then, with a thud, fell down, its edge striking Feng Zhanlian right on the head.

Blood sprayed from Feng Zhanlian’s forehead as he screamed in pain, sitting on the ground.

Feng Bailing was startled and covered Feng Xiaoli’s mouth, gently pinching her little face in reproach.

Feng Xiaoli stuck out her tongue, hugged Feng Bailing’s neck, and kissed her, transforming from a little devil to irresistibly cute in an instant.

Feng Bailing shook her head, caught between tears and laughter, thinking that she would need to practice more medicine and charity to accrue virtue for Xiaoli.

“Go quickly and call for a doctor.”

Lady Nan Feng was also shocked.

The signboard, in perfect condition, how could it have fallen?

The Feng family members were in a panic. Just as they were about to take Feng Zhanlian to the clinic, a group of people, looking like house servants, approached the main entrance of “Feng Mansion.”

“Who are you? This is a private residence, and no outsiders may come near.”

The group was tall and sturdy-looking, extremely fierce, and began throwing Feng Zhan Tian and the others out onto the street.

“Hold on, this is Feng Mansion, we are the Feng family members, and we’ve come today to reclaim the property.”

Lady Nan Feng, accustomed to grand scenes, faced the group with no trace of fear.

“Feng Mansion?”

One of them approached, his body rippling with muscle, and with the thud of a large fist, smashed the signboard to splinters.

“Work for Feng Mansion? Our master just bought this house. Never heard of any Feng Mansion or dog Mansion.”
