Chapter 968 - 968 3 The Chief Steward 2-in-1_4

Chapter 968: Chapter 3: The Chief Steward [2-in-1]_4 Chapter 968: Chapter 3: The Chief Steward [2-in-1]_4 Although he had been restraining himself, he ultimately couldn’t bear it any longer and decided not to hold back anymore.

He took the opportunity to confront Dong Xiaoyan, fuming with anger, “Miss Dong, we are acquainted with each other now, and I have something I must say to you in person to be at ease.”

Dong Xiaoyan was stunned, “Elder Jiang, please speak.”

“Let me ask you, when we were in Yuezhou, just what was your relationship with Doctor Feng?” Jiang Changhai asked sternly, his face solemn.

“My relationship with Doctor Feng?”

Dong Xiaoyan’s mind went blank for a moment, and she blushed as she said, “We are very close friends!”

Jiang Changhai frowned, “Just friends?”

Dong Xiaoyan, feeling as if her secret had been pierced through, replied with less confidence, “Yes, very close friends.”

Unsatisfied, Jiang Changhai bluntly pressed further, “Truly not a romantic relationship?”

“Elder Jiang!”

Dong Xiaoyan stamped her foot, her face red with embarrassment, “Doctor Feng he he he… Ah, you shouldn’t meddle in our affairs.”

Jiang Changhai angrily said, “Miss Dong, let me tell you, being fickle in love and flirtatious isn’t something to be proud of. Once you really make it everyone else’s business by cuckolding someone, it’ll not just be me who’s interested in the matter. Doctor Feng has done favors not just for me, but for many others. Even if your Cloud Palace is influential with a great foundation, do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand? I’m not afraid to tell you right now that I won’t stand by idly and let things happen without intervention!”

Dong Xiaoyan felt both ashamed and embarrassed, replying angrily, “What… what do you mean by cuckolding… I I I… Elder Jiang, you’re mistaken, how could I… how could I…”

“Still denying it, then tell me, who is the young man in your room?”

Jiang Changhai simply put his cards on the table.

“I am her biological brother!” Feng Yin stepped forward.

With a single statement, he hit right at the crux of the matter, making the word ‘biological’ sound clear yet ambiguous.

It was a clever play on words.

It could mean ‘biological brother,’ or if interpreted as ‘beloved brother,’ it would be perfectly fitting as well.

Well, it depends on how you hear it.

At that moment, Jiang Changhai felt relieved, his imposing manner deflated completely, and he said sheepishly, “Biological brother… damn… why didn’t you say so sooner… made me meddle unnecessarily…”

He suddenly felt quite embarrassed.

He turned his irritation toward Dong Tiesong, “You old man, if they’re siblings, say they’re siblings! Why didn’t you clarify earlier?!”

Dong Tiesong snorted and said, “Why should I clarify it? I would love to see you make a fool of yourself!”

Jiang Changhai burst out in rage, “Dong Tiesong, come out and fight! Today I’m going to teach you a lesson!”

He suddenly jumped out, conveniently avoiding the awkward scene.

Dong Tiesong shook his head and smiled bitterly, knowing he had no choice but to go out and take a beating.

There was no way around it; if he didn’t let this old devil vent his anger, he might continue to cause trouble for himself…

To end the matter this way today was, after all, a fairly appropriate resolution.

Oh, how his old bones would suffer.

The next day.

People from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace were all set to leave, obviously intending to depart from the Imperial Capital, this place of trouble.

The one secretly going after Dong Xiaoyan was definitely still around.

But they were also wary of the Great Qin officials.

And the people from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace like Dong Xiaoyan were also cautious. If the other party came and started a fight without care, at least hundreds of thousands of civilians nearby would suffer.

Thus, to resolve this matter, they had to find a secluded place.

But before they could leave the inn, they heard someone come to report.

“Official Shi, the chief steward of the palace, has come to pay a visit to the young princess of the Cloud Palace.”

“Hmm?”

Dong Xiaoyan was taken aback, “Let him in.”

Official Shi, the chief steward of the palace, was indeed an important figure.

Even Dong Tiesong, the elder of the Cloud Palace, held him in high regard.

The reason wasn’t just because of his position as the Great Qin palace’s chief steward, but because Official Shi himself was a person of significance.

However, Feng Yin didn’t understand these things and was somewhat puzzled.

He asked, “The chief steward of the palace? Official Shi?”

“Yes, Shi Hongzhen, Official Shi, a very remarkable person,” Dong Tiesong said.

Feng Yin acknowledged with an “Oh.”

He completely understood then.

Shi Hongzhen, Official Shi.

Acknowledgment, acknowledgment.

No matter how grand ‘Hong’ is, it’s still a ‘Zhen’ (needle).

No wonder, no wonder.

No wonder he entered the palace.
