The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife
chapter-663

Fifth Elder was silent.

He turned to look at Hong Yu. “Did our manor lady know nothing about that?”

Hong Yu raised her eyebrows. She smiled and looked at Feng Ruqing. “Young Lady, Tang Yu could do whatever she wanted before in Fengyun Manor because… Fifth Elder was so stupid. He believed whatever she had told him. So, he is here today just to ask for your forgiveness.”

“Oh!” Feng Ruqing understood now. “You came to ask for my forgiveness. How dare you come and frighten me! Are you really asking for my forgiveness or do you just want to frighten me because you’re unhappy with me?”

Fifth Elder seemed so sad. “I don’t have that intention.”

“No?” Feng Ruqing sneered and walked toward Fifth Elder. It was unknown as to what kind of things she had put in her hand. She rubbed it on Fifth Elder’s face. Then, she showed Fifth Elder her finger. “Then, why did you put so many freckles on your face? Are you not trying to frighten me?”

‘The others only put some freckles on their faces. But, Fifth Elder’s face is covered in them. Isn’t he trying to frighten me?’

Fifth Elder turned his head skeptically and glanced at Hong Yu gingerly.

“Young Lady…” Hong Yu did not give any time for Fifth Elder to say anything more. She said, solemnly, “How daring of Fifth Elder to do so! What if we punished him? Ask him to go and clean up the latrine?”

Fifth Elder was extremely shocked. “Hong Yu, you…”

Hong Yu remained calm and serene.

But, she was nervous.

She thought that Feng Ruqing would adore the freckles but she did not know why Feng Ruqing was infuriated.

‘Maybe… it’s because Fifth Elder is an old man. Not only is he a male but he is also an old man. Are those the reasons why the young lady is unhappy?

‘That must be it!

‘Young Lady adores freckles. She would never be angry because of them! It must be because of Fifth Elder’s ugliness!’

“Young Lady, better ask Fifth Elder to hurry up and clean up the latrine. If not, you’ll be frightened out of your wits.”

“Hong Yu!” At last, Fifth Elder realized that he had been wronged. He scolded angrily.

‘This girl seemed nice and serious. How dare she puts the blame on me instead!’

“Hong Yu is right. You better leave now.” Feng Ruqing puckered her lips a little. “If the state preceptor comes and meets me, he’ll be frightened by you too. If that’s the case, you better be prepared to clean up the latrine for a year…”

Fifth Elder disappeared like a breeze after listening to what Feng Ruqing had said.

‘He ran away like lightning!’

Feng Ruqing patted her own chest. “Finally, he’s gone. If he ever comes to meet me in that state again, I’ll never meet him anymore!’

“Qing’er.”

Suyi came in from the backyard. She smiled softly and walked toward Feng Ruqing slowly. “Did someone annoy you just now?”

Feng Ruqing was in great pain when she saw Suyi’s face.

‘My beautiful people… Why is everyone like that?’

‘It seems that they adore freckles so much. But I can’t even voice out against that just in case I hurt their feelings.’

“Suyi…” Feng Ruqing was hesitant.

“Yes?” Suyi looked at her, surprised.

“Nothing.”

Feng Ruqing sighed softly.

‘Let’s forget about it.

‘If Suyi likes herself that way, then, I shall respect her choices.’

“Oh, that’s right. You still haven’t told me what kind of things you like.” Suyi smiled. “I still haven’t given you anything as a gift when I first met you. But, Nan… the white phoenix told me that I can ask you directly.”
