Chapter 730: Chapter 730: All the Trouble Caused by Cucumbers (3)_1

Otherwise, with so many women outside, if Nangong Ye becomes powerful, he may just find another woman, so why would he come back and seek Nan Feng?

The Empress Dowager didn’t want to think any deeper. She sent one of her eunuchs to pass a message, only to have him return and report that Nan Feng wasn’t in Siyuan. She was summoned by Ning Liangpin.

"Ning Liangpin?" The Empress Dowager asked in surprise, "What does Ning Liangpin want with Nan Feng?"

"Ning Liangpin asked for cucumbers yesterday, but they were in short supply, so Song Liangpin got annoyed and summoned Lady Nan Feng to question her."

The Empress Dowager envisioned a face that was as beautiful as a fairy but somewhat harsh.

This Nan Feng hasn’t received any palace etiquette training, has she? She doesn’t understand the rules, and might be targeted by Ning Liangpin when she is there.

The Empress Dowager felt something was amiss and hurried to Ning Liangpin’s place.

But on her way back to the palace, she ran into the Emperor who had just returned from the early court. Seeing her hurry, the Emperor stopped her: "Empress Dowager, where are you going?"

The Empress Dowager did not intend to tell the Emperor about it, but then she remembered that the father of Ning Liangpin was on the same level as hers, and they were both supporters of the Emperor. It wasn’t convenient for her to confront Ning Liangpin. Besides, she had always been gentle by nature and wouldn’t dare create a commotion.

Therefore, she told the Emperor about the matter.

...

"Lady Nan, kneel, kneel down," said the sixth prince, who had already knelt down and was reminding Nan Feng from behind.

Nan Feng really wasn’t accustomed to the ancient rituals. Kneeling to her parents, or the emperor, was understandable, but now she had to kneel to a woman.

"What’s your name?" Ning Liangpin sat in a condescending manner and looked at Nan Feng.

Nan Feng slightly bowed,"Your Grace, my name is Nan Feng!"

"How audacious! As the head eunuch of Siyuan, you dare not to refer to yourself as a servant, and you dare to call yourself ’I’. Do you not understand etiquette? If you do not, let me teach you a good lesson. Anyone, slap her face! Let’s see if she will remember this!"

Slap on the face?

Nan Feng had never been slapped in the face before. Who exactly does this Liangpin think she is, calling for a slap so easily?

Just as she was talking, a eunuch stepped toward her. But before the eunuch got close to Nan Feng, he was deterred by her icy stare: "You dare?"

This eunuch had no hesitation in beating people for Ning Liangpin before, but usually the punished were shivering, either enduring the beating while crying or crying out for mercy. Who would dare to resist like this?

The eunuch glanced at Ning Liangpin hesitantly.

Ning Liangpin remained silent, implying that the eunuch should continue. Gathering his courage, the eunuch was about to slap again when his hand was caught mid-air by Nan Feng. She then kicked him hard, and the eunuch was sent sprawling on the ground, clutching his stomach and rolling in pain.

The eunuchs in the palace all love to play the victim. If he didn’t act as if it hurt, Ning Liangpin would order him to beat others again. He certainly dared not provoke Nan Feng anymore.

Nan Feng coldly issued a warning again: "I told you not to mess with me!"

Ning Liangpin was already outraged: "Impudent! Where does this unruly creature come from? She’s just a humble supervisor of Siyuan, but dares to cause troubles here. Anyone, all of you come out!"

In a short while, Ning Liangpin’s maids and eunuchs all came out.

"Dare to hit people in my presence, drag her down, beat her severely, beat her until her face is ruined!"
