432: Relapse

Relapse

1Faced with Madam Mingxue's teasing, Feng Qing's expression did not change. "I'm sorry to have made Duke Raymond misunderstand. I'm already married."

Feng Qing's tone was neither servile nor overbearing. Her voice was firm but polite. She did not want to dwell on this matter anymore. She's a married woman. No matter how good Duke Raymond was, she would not agree.

Madam Mingxue nodded secretly when she heard Feng Qing say that she was married. Ever since Raymond returned to the country, he had mentioned Feng Qing more than once, and every time he mentioned Feng Qing, he would feel regretful that she was already married.

"From your appearance, are you sixteen years old this year?" Madam Ming Xue asked. Feng Qing was too young. Her fair skin and flushed face exuded an invincible youthful aura, especially her pair of clear eyes. She looked like a high school student.

"I'm nineteen years old this year. I'm an adult in any country," Feng Qing replied politely.

In Xia country, according to the law, one would become an adult when they reached eighteen. In the West, many countries stipulated that one would only be considered an adult when they reached sixteen. As for Madam Mingxue saying that she looked like fifteen or sixteen years old, Feng Qing thought that she was just being polite.

Madam Mingxue looked a little surprised, but her eyes were filled with envy. Nineteen years old was such a beautiful and enviable age. This was also the best age in everyone's lives.

Looking at Madam Mingxue, Feng Qing was very curious. As a woman from Xia country, she was famous throughout Country F and was considered a legendary figure between the two countries. The information given to her by the organization showed that when Madam Mingxue was young, she was already a frequent guest of Country F's royal family and was even good friends with Country F's imperial concubine.

Later, under the introduction of Country F's Imperial Concubine, Madam Mingxue and the old Duke fell in love. Although the old Duke was twelve years older than her, Madam Mingxue still loved him deeply and gave birth to Raymond.

After becoming the Duchess, Madam Mingxue's power in Country F became greater and greater. Coupled with her relationship with the Imperial Concubine, she became the most powerful person in Country F apart from the royal family. However, she was from Xia country after all. With so much power in her hands, she was naturally ostracized and suppressed by the citizens and nobles. Fortunately, Madam Mingxue worked gently and used both kindness and might. Through various methods, she gradually turned the situation around. Gradually, more and more people in Country F started to support her.

Until today, even though many Country F's citizens were biased and arrogant towards Xia countrymen, on the surface, all Country F's citizens were very polite and respectful to Madam Mingxue.

Madam Mingxue and Feng Qing looked at each other. Both of them had their own thoughts, but neither of them could see what the other was thinking. Suddenly, Madam Mingxue took a step back. Her originally red face instantly turned incomparably pale. She couldn't help but cover her temples with her hands, and her facial features were all distorted.

Seeing her like this, Duke Raymond immediately went forward to support her. He said with concern, "Mother, is your old habit acting up again?"

Madam Mingxue's expression was ferocious. At that moment, she was enduring extremely great pain. The feeling of her brain being pierced by a million steel needles made her want to smash her head into pieces. In just a few minutes, her entire body was covered in cold sweat.

"Mother, how are you? Do you want me to send you to rest?" Duke Raymond said nervously.

A few minutes later, the pain disappeared. Madam Mingxue lowered her trembling hands and smiled bitterly at Duke Raymond. "It's alright. It's over."

Duke Raymond heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly took a white hat from the side and placed it on Madam Mingxue's head. There were far-reaching infrared materials in this hat, so wearing it on her head could ease the pain. However, this method didn't treat the illness, but for Madam Mingxue, it was better than nothing.

Feng Qing did not go over to support Madam Mingxue, nor did she ask anything. She stood at the side and observed silently the entire time. Taking this opportunity, she saw through this legendary Madam Mingxue. First of all, she was certain that Madam Mingxue's makeup skills were very high. Although it was only light makeup, it was very exquisite and good-looking. However, the foundation of Madam Mingxue's face was very thick, and she probably planned to specially cover her original complexion.
