The Slender Waist-Chapter 738 - 530: Slap in the Face

Feng Jingteng had been in Huaxi for several days, and Feng Yun had been ignoring him for just as many.

He actually wanted to reconcile with Feng Yun, and this was also an order from the Emperor. However, that day, the Chen Family made a scene at Changmen, tearing apart the last shred of warmth between father and daughter. Since then, Feng Yun has never paid her any attention.

Hearing that Feng Yun invited him to Andu with generous gifts, Feng Jingteng was overjoyed.

Before he set off, he asked the Chen Family to prepare a generous gift.

"My sister-in-law is at the residence, and it would be inappropriate to meet her empty-handed."

The Chen Family was extremely displeased.

She did not want them, father and daughter, to get along and share the familial warmth.

But Feng Jingteng didn’t allow her to come; the last thing she wanted after their confrontation was to have any interaction, and she had no face to go anyway.

-

Feng Jingteng entered the Pei Residence with a smile, all the attendants greeted him respectfully.

He felt a bit over the moon.

After all, it was his own daughter.

If the daughter is honored, how can the father be left out?

Shi’er Niang was inherently a gentle person, really longing for her father’s affection, and she had only treated him coldly before because she was angered by the Chen Family.

Now the anger had subsided, and she was fulfilling her filial duties...

Feng Jingteng was invited to sit in the floral hall.

Nobody came to receive him, nobody paid any attention, only a servant said with a smile:

"Please take a seat, my lord, the Princess is still napping, and it’s inconvenient to disturb her. She will come to meet you when she awakes."

"It’s no bother at all."

Feng Jingteng smiled broadly.

Even if it was a servant of the Pei Residence, he could not afford to be rude.

The servant exited.

Only then did Feng Jingteng notice there were no teas nor snacks provided.

Not only did Feng Yun not come out to receive her own father, but also no one from the Pei Family appeared.

What was worse, there wasn’t even a heater; the floral hall was frigid, the windows wide open, chilling to the bone in the December weather.

This wait lasted for two hours.

Feng Jingteng had never sat on such a cold bench for so long.

He closed the window, rubbed his hands in the floral hall, pacing back and forth, nearly turning into an icicle, when finally, footsteps of Feng Yun were heard outside.

Feng Jingteng quickly straightened his clothes.

He didn’t know when it started that he also had to be cautious when seeing his own daughter...

"Shi’er Niang, you’ve finally come."

Feng Yun stepped over the threshold, wearing a thick fur coat, her hands clutching a hot water bottle, and said lightly: 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"I overslept a bit in the winter, father. Thanks for waiting."

Feng Jingteng watched her expression.

"Shi’er Niang said that you prepared a big gift for father, may I know what it is?"

He was already impatient from waiting, his body cold, and he didn’t beat around the bush upon meeting.

Feng Yun slightly smiled, "A gift worth twenty thousand taels of gold."

She smiled mysteriously, glancing behind her.

"Bring it out."

Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang were brought over by an attendant.

Having been locked in the woodshed since last night until dusk today, they had not eaten or drunk anything, their eyes swollen from crying, appearing very worn...

But their beauty was still dazzling.

Feng Jingteng was surprised and asked: "Shi’er Niang, what is the meaning of this?"

Feng Yun chuckled, "A beauty in prosperous times is worth ten thousand gold. One for ten thousand, haven’t I just honored father with twenty thousand taels of gold?"

Feng Jingteng felt a chill down his spine.

"This isn’t appropriate."

In front of his daughter, he had to maintain his dignity.

Especially with the tigress, the Chen Family, at home, how could he dare to accept them?

"Shi’er Niang’s filial piety, father understands. But... at father’s age, I lack such interests, I’m afraid I might disappoint you."

Feng Yun glanced at him.

At just over forty, still pampered and privileged, Feng Jingteng not only looked young but also possessed a handsome appearance, a man in his middle years still exuding elegance...

She couldn’t help but think, was it because of his good looks that mother was blinded back then?

"Father." Feng Yun withdrew her smile, her gaze piercingly cold as she spoke chillingly, "These two beauties, born in troubled times, parentless, if father refuses to take them in, they won’t survive..."

Her words carried a double meaning.

Feng Jingteng caught the threat in her words.

Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang felt it too.

Feng Jingteng thought, Shi’er Niang giving him two maids, was to annoy the Chen Family.

If he refused to accept them, father and daughter might have no further relations.

But what Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang heard was — if they don’t go with Feng Jingteng, they only have one path left: death.

Feng Yun would kill them.

She definitely would.

"Please let us stay." Jin Shuang was the first to kneel down.

The beauty knelt straight before Feng Jingteng, slightly tilting her head upward, tears sparkling in her eyes, looking grievous and wronged, her charming face misted like flowers in front of Feng Jingteng.

Pin Shuang also knelt down immediately.

"We earnestly request that you take us, sir. We will serve you well..."
