Dragon Flies Phoenix Dances, Chapter 3: The Untrustworthy Third Master Long's Mistress’s...
Feng Ning didn't know what trouble she was causing. She walked around the entire house without encountering a person who was willing to talk to her, and of course did not find her husband. In fact, it was natural that she couldn't find him. She couldn't get in the door of any room, no matter how reckless.
The Third Master Long's Mistress wandered around alone, looking at the various eyes of the maids and servants, guessing the meaning behind those eyes, which of course was an embarrassing experience, Feng Ning had a vaguely sour feeling in her heart, but fortunately there were excellent tasting buns to comfort her broken heart. She puffed herself up and went back to her little yard as usual.
Xiao Qing walked in a hurry, wanting to know that if this mistress was lost for another time, it would be troublesome and would absolutely piss off her lordship. She was just thinking about whether or not to report that when she saw that Feng Ning had returned.
Xiao Qing greeted him: "Where was Mistress gone?"
Feng Ning handed her the empty bowl and sat down on the steps with one hip, asking, "O Xiao Qing, tell me how did I made everyone disgusted in the first place?"
Xiao Qing froze: "I too have just been transferred to take care of mistress within a short time, and I have been working in another yard before."
"So who took care of me before you did?"
"It was the mistress's dowry maid, but a while before her mistress's accident, the maid had a serious illness and died."
Feng Ning was stunned, "Dead?"
"That's right, Dr. Chen saw her and indeed, she was sick and died."
Feng Ning was dumbfounded again, "Xiao Qing ah, you stressed that indeed she died of illness, that means there was a suspicion before that she did not die of illness, right?"
Xiao Qing panicked and cautiously said, "Mistress is too worried."
Feng Ning propped his head up and muttered, "I was thinking a little too much."
Xiao Qing didn't answer, and Feng Ning added, "Usually the most important thing in the house is the gossip. If you work in other yards, you should have heard about my reputation. Don't be afraid, I can't remember anything anyway. It’s clear. I just want to know what’s going on in this house. If I have done bad things in the past, I think I have to make up for them.”
Xiao Qing looked at Feng Ning for a while and finally said, "I have only heard that Mistress's maiden's family asked Mistress to be married here as per the friend oath it was with malicious intentions, so on this side, a big family, is not welcoming to the mistress."
"Huh? My mother's family had a malicious intentions, so how come the Long Family is so useless and let me marry here too?"
"I heard it was a marriage contract given by the earlier Longs and Fengs, and it was inappropriate not to marry."
Feng Ning froze for a moment, unable to express her sadness in her heart, she stood up and walked back to her room, her voice astringent: "Then, can I go back to my maiden's family?"
Xiao Qing said, "This maidservant cannot be the one to answer, you can ask the Second Master or Madam Yu."
"Xiao Qing, why is it that you refers that question I have to the Second Master?"
"The Second Master is in charge?"
"But I'm married to the Third Master ah, I have the husband's, the second brother in law and everyone against me, shouldn't I and the husband be considered small family?"
Xiao Qing looked at her with sympathy in his eyes, "Mistress, the Third Master has never been too involved in your affairs, and he is often out of the house. the Second Master is the one who makes all the arrangements for your food and clothing, and the Second Master is the one to whom you report something."
Feng Ning listened to this, her heart became more and more obscure, her husband actually did not care about her, so she is a diner or something in this house? Depressed, she collapsed onto the bed and sulked, "Xiao Qing, this place doesn't like me, and I don't like it, I want to go home."
Xiao Qing looked at her for a long time before finally said, "Then this maidservant will report this to the Second Master for your mistress."
In less than two days, Feng Ning took the initiative to look for the Second Master Long before she could hear back the reply from Xiao Qing. The reason is that since she talked to Xiao Qing that day, Feng Ning's meal became smaller and lighter the next day, and Xiao Qing didn't say what was wrong, and asked the boy who brought the meal, only to say that it was arranged by the kitchen, and when she asked the kitchen, they were saying that it was ordered by the Second Master.
Feng Ning saw that several meals in a row consisted of two plates of vegetarian dishes and one bowl of rice, the taste of the dishes was good, but she was half-hungry and not full. She couldn't ask for anything else from her husband, but she always wants a good meal and food.
She went to the Second Master Long angrily, and without knowing where he was, she ran towards the forbidden ground of the corridor building, and when she reached the small building, someone stopped her, and she said righteously, "I want to find my second brother in law.
The Second Master Long came and slowly said: "Third Sister in law, I heard about you wanting to go back to your maiden’s family, but it's useless for you to be in such a hurry, you husband is not in the house, and you going back to your maiden’s family is a private matter between the both of you, I have to wait for the third brother to come back and discuss with him."
"I came to you, but not for that."
"Oh, what's that for?"
"I don’t get enough food to eat." She shouted so loudly that a boy next to her couldn't help but puff out and laugh.
The Second Master Long also raised an eyebrow in surprise and repeated the sentence in a plausible manner, "Can't get enough to eat?"
"Right." Feng Ning nodded hard, "What mistake did I make, why do you have to starve me?"
The Second Master Long couldn't help but smile at her childish expression, but he didn't deny that he had changed her meal: "I asked the kitchen to make some vegetarian food, so that you would be clear of grease, and the other day you had been taking supplements because of your injury. Those meals are enough for one person, how can the third sister-in-law say I am starving you."
"It's only a bowl of rice, how can it be enough to eat. I've always had two bowls of rice, one of meat, one of soup and two of vegetables, but now I'm half-hungry because the amount of food has been cut in half. If you don't like your sister-in-law, you'll have to feed her."
The Second Master Long couldn't hide his surprise, "You eat that much?"
"Right.” The Second Master Long finally couldn't help but laugh, Feng Ning interjected: "I don't care how much I used to dislike you, I'm sick and no one comes to visit me, my freaking husband doesn't care about me, I can also put up with it, but for you to make me go hungry, absolutely not going to stand for it."
The Second Master Long was genuinely amused and annoyed, what kind of new trick is this? He deliberately said, "But I've told the kitchen, what are you going to do about it?"
Feng Ning glared at him hard, suddenly twisted her head, turned around and left.
The Second Master Long thought about it, beckoned the boy to her, let the boy servant follow her, and turned back to the bookstore to continue reading the volumes by himself.
Feng Ning was not defeated as the Second Master Long thought, she stifled her head and went straight to the kitchen, just as the master's house was finished eating, the servants gathered themselves in the kitchen yard to have lunch, when the legendary Third Mistress, who was unattended, came in, the big guys were stunned.
Feng Ning was envious when he saw them all holding a large sea bowl full of rice like a small pointed mountain. She turned around and went into the kitchen, which was still untidy, and she looked through it without seeing any ready-made meals, she was disappointed.
A middle-aged, fat man followed, shouting, "What is Mistress doing here, this is the kitchen, not a place for Mistress to play."
"Who are you?"
The fat man jerked his chest: "I'm Chef Tang Rong, everyone calls me Chef Tang."
As soon as Feng Ning tapped him on the shoulder, Chef Tang's heart shuddered, did this lady want to trouble him over the matter of two vegetables bowls for one meal? Although the dishes are simple, he has made them with his heart, and if the lady is picky, he will not comply.
It turned out that what Feng Ning said was, "Chef Tang, your cooking is really good." Chef Tang was stunned, what kind of tactic is this, salute before you launch a fight?
"But with such a good meal, how can I get enough to eat when you only give me so little?"
The Second Master said that it was against the rules for the girl to eat like her master, and that the Second Master would not allow it.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Feng Ning simply asked directly, "I'm not full right now, what do you say we are going to do about that?"
There is nothing Chef Tang can do about it. He can only say casually, "The only food left is what the servants in our yard are eating now, and it will be too late to start the stove, so you can only wait until the afternoon."
At the mention of the afternoon, Feng Ning's eyes lit up, "Steamed buns?"
Chef Tang shook his head, "Buns aren’t cooked for you, buns are for the Second Master, who used to use some snacks every afternoon, if he doesn't eat them then on that day he will have a fit."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ning had an epiphany: "I see."
That stingy man, no wonder the meals have changed over the last few days.
She said thank you and turned to go, and Chef Tang scratched his head behind him, unable to figure out what this Third Mistress meant.
That afternoon, Chef Tang seriously steamed a cage of fragrant white fat meat buns, was about to open the pot to get the buns, suddenly he heard a crackling noise outside, he went out to take a look, the yard pile of firewood piled up for some reason all fell down, he hurriedly shouted for a few servants to pile up the firewood, he rushed back to the kitchen to collect the buns, but when he opened the steamer cage to see, he was shocked stiff!
Why is it like that day, the buns were all gone? Staring at the empty steamer, Chef Tang's face went green, what the hell is going on?
The Second Master Long didn't eat any buns on this day, but found an empty bowl on the path in front of the library. He knew in his heart that this annoyance did not come from anywhere. On closer inspection, however, he found that this sister-in-law was behaving very differently and strangely than before.
He searched for Madam Yu and said, "That woman Feng Ning, who claimed to have lost her memory after being injured, also behaved very differently from the past."
"This I know, originally it was intended to hang her out to dry, and when time comes, she will naturally reveal the true intentions."
"I tried her and she reacted like she really didn't know. If she is faking it, the faking is too good."
"The timing of this amnesia is indeed too coincidental, maybe she is doing it so that all the blame can be pushed out of her way." Madam Yu's suspicion of Feng Ning never abated.
The Second Master Long nodded, "There is also a strange thing, she said that she did not remember anything, but the alleyways in the mansion was not forgotten at all, a few days ago she wandered around, I sent someone to follow her, she did not even walk the same road, she was very accurate when she went in looking for the kitchen, and she was able to run to the library. At last she went back to her own yard, and it didn't take her long to find these places, not a fork in the road, which isn't like someone who is claiming she has no memories at all."
You have to know this the layout of the Long Mansion, the roads are all laid out with confusing doorways, and for the average newcomer, who has not been with here for months, is bound to get lost. This Feng Ning has been here for so long and lost her way many times, now she says she has forgotten everything, but is not lost in finding the pathways.
Madam Yu heard this, and even more firmly believed that Feng Ning was pretending to be an amnesiac: "I didn't think that before she was fully wounded, she would become restless again, and I had to take care of her."
The Second Master Long nodded and suggested another idea: "Although it is unlikely, but if her memory loss is true, such an odd behavior nowadays can be explained by the fact that in the past, she was all posturing, but now she has forgotten the purpose of the Feng Family in asking her to marry into this family, and she has shown her true identity."
Madam Yu "hummed": "Xiao Qing also told me that the woman wanted to go back to her maiden’s family. The Third Master was attacked, was it not necessarily because of the Feng Family?"
The Second Master Long said, "Then Feng Ning should be handed over to Madam, I have already instructed Master Tie to step up the investigation inside the mansion. The third brother will be fine even if he goes out this time, Madam should not worry."
"Alas, how can I not worry, you brothers are children who I watched grow up, nowadays everything is stable, but the Feng Family has plotted against it, the Third Master married such a woman, I fear it’s a mistake for life, I really have a heartache."
"Madam Yu.” The Second Master Long comforted the old man, who the three brothers treated like a mother: "The Feng Family matter, we will definitely find a solution."
Madam Yu sniffed back, "The Second Master don't worry, that woman wants to play dumb, I will definitely let her show her true intentions."
