Chapter 50 She Doesn't Want Her Scumbag Ex-Husband Anymore 10
When Feng Cangwu sensed that wisp of demonic energy, the golden egg in his hand suddenly began to stir. While everyone was puzzled, the golden egg suddenly hatched.
A dazzling golden light burst forth from the crack, instantly illuminating the entire area.
With a crisp cracking sound, a small yet incredibly gorgeous golden phoenix hatched from its shell.
As soon as Feng Fanyin hatched, she flapped her tender yet powerful wings and rushed straight towards Ji Huadan.
Before Ji Huadan could react, Feng Fanyin pecked her several times, making her scream in pain.
"Ah! Help! What's going on?"
Ji Huadan panicked and fled in all directions, but she could not escape Feng Fanyin's attacks no matter what she did.
As Feng Fanyin chased after her, pecking at her, she let out a clear chirping sound, as if venting her anger.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, and for a moment no one stepped forward to stop it.
Until Ji Xiaosong spoke up and shouted, "Fanyin, stop!"
Feng Fanyin reluctantly flew back to Ji Xiaosong's side, landing on her shoulder, still glaring angrily at Ji Huadan.
At this moment, Ji Huadan was in a terrible state, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were torn in several places by pecking.
"Cousin, what do you mean by this? She didn't hatch any earlier or later, but suddenly hatched right next to me and started pecking at me like crazy! I won't let this go until you give me an explanation!"
"An explanation? What explanation do you want? I believe in my daughter. She wouldn't suddenly hatch for no reason and then go out of her way to peck at you."
Although Ji Xiaosong didn't know why Feng Fanyin did this, she knew there must be a reason behind it.
She was supposed to hatch a month earlier than expected, but she has hatched prematurely, which means she is still unable to speak.
It is indeed somewhat difficult not being able to defend oneself.
But it doesn't matter. As a mother, even if Ji Xiaosong is biased and believes only one side, she will still stand on her daughter's side.
Feng Cangwu didn't speak, but he silently stood in front of Ji Xiaosong.
Xu Yang also stepped forward at this moment. He hadn't reacted in time when Ji Huadan was pecked, and by the time he did, Ji Xiaosong had already summoned the golden phoenix over.
He had clearly seen that when Feng Cangwu carried Jin Feng past Ji Huadan, a wisp of demonic energy seeped out from Ji Huadan's sleeve.
Although that wisp of demonic energy was extremely faint, he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't been keeping a close eye on Ji Huadan for fear of her causing trouble today.
To prevent the situation from escalating further, and in case Ji Huadan was indeed involved with the Demon Clan, which would implicate the Xu family, Xu Yang stepped forward and said with clasped hands:
“Your Highness, Hua Dan has just given birth, so it's understandable that her emotions are fluctuating. Jin Feng is still young and may have been frightened by the lively scene after hatching. Hua Dan happened to be standing next to her, so she was unwittingly caught in the crossfire. Given the current situation…”
Before Xu Yang could finish speaking, Ji Huadan slapped him across the face.
"Incompetent piece of trash! Why didn't you stand up for me when I was being pecked? Now you're trying to be a good guy?"
Everyone present was momentarily surprised to see Elder Xu, who was usually so aloof, being treated this way by the Second Princess.
Xu Yang's face was turned to one side by the slap. His body stiffened for a moment, then he slowly turned his head back, his eyes full of restraint.
He clenched his teeth so tightly that his cheeks were clenched, and the veins on his neck bulged out.
However, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and for the sake of the bigger picture, he reached out and grabbed Ji Huadan's arm tightly, saying in a deep voice, "Stop making a scene, come with me!"
"Let me go! You useless thing!" Ji Huadan struggled fiercely, still cursing under his breath.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Hua Dan just gave birth and isn't feeling well, so I'll take her with me and leave now."
Ignoring everything else, Xu Yang increased the force in his hands, practically dragging Ji Huadan away from the scene.
As they watched them leave, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
This incident did not have much impact on the celebration banquet held specifically for Feng Fanyin. After all, the couple's quarrel was just gossip, but the emergence of a golden phoenix in the Phoenix Clan was the hope of the entire clan.
Feng Cangwu pulled Feng Fanyin off Ji Xiaosong's shoulder, "Fanyin... Feng Fanyin..."
He repeated the name several times, saying, "Song'er has chosen a very good name."
He had thought of many names before, but he had never been able to decide which one to choose.
Until today, Ji Xiaosong suddenly called out this backup name, and his daughter responded, so he finally settled on it.
Upon hearing her name called, Feng Fanyin, who had been struggling in Feng Cangwu's grasp, finally quieted down.
“Song’er, you can see that she really likes this name.”
"Yes, it seems that this name is very much meant for her."
The lively and warm atmosphere in Fenghua Palace had nothing to do with the Xu family.
At this time, the Xu family presented a completely different picture.
As soon as Xu Yang returned, he pulled Ji Huadan into his study.
"You piece of trash, what do you want to do?"
Ji Huadan glared angrily and forcefully shook off Xu Yang's hand.
"What exactly was that wisp of demonic energy today?" Xu Yang's face was gloomy. He no longer wanted to settle the score with Ji Huadan for slapping him in public; that wisp of demonic energy was more important than that.
Ji Huadan's eyes darted around. "I don't know what you're talking about. What demonic energy?"
"Stop pretending. I saw it with my own eyes, seeping from your sleeve. Are you colluding with the demons?"
"You're talking nonsense! Don't frame me!"
"Ji Huadan, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise if the Phoenix Clan finds out, our Xu family will suffer as well!"
"I don't know anything about demons. As everyone knows, my parents died fighting against demons, so how could I possibly have anything to do with demons?"
“I saw it clearly in Fenghua Palace, there’s no way I could be wrong! It’s true that your parents died because of the demons, but you were with them at the time, so why didn’t the demons harm you?”
"How do I know why they didn't harm me? Maybe it was because I was young and they didn't think I posed any threat, so they let me go."
Just as the two were at an impasse, a palace servant suddenly came to report from outside the door.
"Elder Xu, the Empress has sent over all the palace servants that the Lady used to serve in her palace. The old lady said that the Lady should make all the decisions herself and that she would not interfere."
Ji Huadan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said impatiently, "Alright, I'll go arrange those palace servants now."
Xu Yang's doubts did not diminish; Ji Huadan's expression just now clearly showed something was wrong.
The demons have been harassing the phoenix clan for years. In order to live in peace, the phoenix clan fought a fierce battle against the demons.
After this battle, the Phoenix Clan was unable to recover for over a thousand years.
If the royal princess really has an affair with the demons, could he seize this opportunity to advance his career?
The Golden Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan is still young, and the royal family only has one princess, Ji Xiaosong. Although the identity of the son-in-law is unknown, he has never been seen to make a move, so he is probably not a very powerful person.
If he were to seize this opportunity, it wouldn't be impossible for him to bring down the royal family and take their place.
After all, the son born to his wife is of royal blood and will not be punished by heaven.
At this thought, a glint of greed and ambition flashed in Xu Yang's eyes.
