The Wife I Picked Up Is Too Fierce

431 - 440

Duke Raymond smiled and said, "Miss Qingqing, this is my mother, Madam Mingxue." With that, he looked at the beautiful woman and said respectfully, "Mother, her name is Feng Qing, She's the girl from Xia country I told you about."

Madam Mingxue looked at Feng Qing and repeated, "Feng Qing."

Feng Qing nodded. "Hello, Madam Mingxue. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Madam Mingxue did not reply immediately. Instead, she stared at Feng Qing and narrowed her eyes. Her eyes were like scanners that kept sweeping across Feng Qing, The first impression Feng Qing gave her was that she was a harmless ordinary girl.

"Yes, you're really beautiful. No wonder my son is so devoted to you." Madam Mingxue smiled.

Chapter 432: Relapse

Faced 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.
