Even Feng Yanfeng had to greet the chief steward with a bow.
The chief steward was a fair, chubby elderly man with a Buddha-like smile, which made him seem very approachable.
He smiled at Feng Yanfeng and said, “Master Feng, you’re too polite. Now, I have an imperial edict for Miss Feng Wu. Please bring her out here to hear it.”
Feng Yanfeng paled when he heard this.
Because of Feng Wu, he lost his job yesterday. He felt he had nothing left now.
That just showed how much His Majesty didn’t like Feng Wu!
And now, there was an imperial edict, and it was directed at Feng Wu alone. It didn’t take a genius to figure out how terrifying the imperial edict would be.
It couldn’t possibly be anything good.
At that thought, Feng Yanfeng finally summoned up his courage and smiled bitterly. “Sir, you’ve e a little too late. I’m terribly sorry…”
“Really?” The chief steward raised his eyebrows.
Feng Yanfeng said, “Starting from yesterday, Feng Wu has been expelled from the Feng clan. That is to say, after that, whatever she does has nothing to do with the clan.”
Lady Wang, Feng Yiran, and the others immediately chimed in, “That’s right!”
They decided that they were done paying for Feng Wu’s mistakes!
The chief steward frowned a little. “Do you mean it…”
Feng Yanfeng nodded repeatedly. “Yes! Yes, of course! Feng Wu has nothing to do with the Feng clan now, so any of her punishments or rewards will have nothing to do with our clan!”
“Well…” The chief steward heaved a long sigh. “Master Feng, are you sure? I hope you won’t regret it.”
Feng Yanfeng smiled bitterly. “Of course, I won’t. The decision was made yesterday.”
The chief steward nodded. “Even if that’s the case, because this is an imperial edict, the edict table has to sit here, and Miss Feng has to e out here as well.”
Feng Yanfeng had no problem with that.
Even if the imperial edict was about Feng Wu’s punishment, his family wasn’t going to be involved anymore.
Feng Wu was meditating, when she was disturbed by the noise outside.
Granny Gong told her about the imperial edict.
Feng Wu frowned a little. “Can’t he e here?”
Granny Gong smiled. “He can, according to regular practice. However, the chief steward insisted on having the edict table set there; I’m sure he has a reason for it.”
She then added, “The chief steward really likes His Royal Highness, so don’t worry. He won’t trick us. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.”
Feng Wu shrugged. “Let’s go and have a look, then.”
Deep down, she already had a faint idea. After all, she had saved the empress dowager, so the emperor was bound to give her some reward, even if it was just for show.
Unfortunately, only a handful of people knew that she had saved the empress dowager, and that didn’t include Feng Yanfeng and his people.
In the Feng clan’s camp.
As soon as Feng Wu arrived, Feng Yanfeng’s family stared at her with eyes filled with hatred!
It was especially the case with Feng Liu, and she didn’t try to hide her hatred toward Feng Wu.
Feng Wu shrugged.
“Feng Wu! How dare you e here!” Feng Liu growled in Feng Wu’s ear.
Feng Wu asked casually, “Why wouldn’t I dare?”
Feng Liu asked, “Did you know that my father lost his job because of you?!”
Feng Wu smirked. “Why don’t you ask your father how he got that minister job in the first place?”
She had pulled some strings, and Feng Yanfeng still owed her 100,000 spiritual stones for it.
Feng Liu said, “Heh, are you suggesting it had something to do with you?”
