Qi Xuan delivered a letter to the General's mansion and brought Yu Ping back along.
To be precise, Yu Ping, after hearing about what happened to Feng Yin Wan at the prince's mansion, used a combination of persuasion and coercion to return with Qi Xuan.
When she entered Lan Qing Courtyard, Feng Yin Wan was sleeping soundly on the couch, murmuring something about "drinking medicine."
Yu Ping frowned, immediately stepped forward, and woke her up, "Miss, Miss..."
Shaken a couple of times, Feng Yin Wan's blurry eyes opened, and upon seeing Yu Ping, she was immediately overjoyed.
"Yu Ping, why are you back?"
"This servant was worried and specifically came back to serve Miss."
Pursing her lips, her eyes were full of resentment, "Miss, why didn't you bring me back with you..."
She had been so worried upon hearing the news!
Feng Yin Wan chuckled sheepishly and scratched her head.
This matter, she had indeed forgotten.
Seeing Ye Ting Lan's divorce letter in the morning, she had flown into a rage and rushed back, completely forgetting to call for Yu Ping in the back courtyard.
Wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, she quickly looked outside, "What time is it?"
Yu Ping thought she was hungry and quickly nodded, "It's already dinnertime. Miss, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Hearing this, Feng Yin Wan's consciousness instantly cleared. She got up, jumped off the couch, and pulled Yu Ping out.
"Hurry, if we're late, we won't make it."
"Hey, slow down..."
Yu Ping, not understanding, was pulled by Feng Yin Wan straight outside.
By the time the two arrived at the dining hall, the servants had just begun serving the dishes. Feng Yin Wan raised an eyebrow and walked straight in.
Ye Ting Lan was in the midst of a quiet conversation with Ye Ting Yun. The moment he saw Feng Yin Wan, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.
This woman had already eaten a lot in the afternoon; how could she still eat dinner?
While he was thinking, Feng Yin Wan had already walked up to them. Without even looking at him, she sat down.
Ye Ting Lan's handsome face sank again. He spoke with displeasure, reminding her, "Princess Consort."
This woman didn't even bow. Didn't she see him there!
Feng Yin Wan looked up upon hearing him, "Hmm?"
Ye Ting Lan's thin lips pursed. He was almost driven to break character by this "Hmm?"
She was clumsy enough, and now she couldn't even understand a hint!
Ye Ting Lan was so angry he didn't want to bother with her.
Ye Ting Yun seized the opportunity and quickly chimed in, "With me and Third Brother here, you enter without even bowing. Do you not have us in your eyes!"
Trying to put on airs with her?
Feng Yin Wan calmly raised an eyebrow, "We are all family. Why is Prince Yun being so formal?"
"According to etiquette, you should still call me Third Sister-in-law. I haven't seen you get up to bow to me either."
"You!"
Unprepared for her daring to use seniority to pressure him, Ye Ting Yun was choked into silence.
"I am a Prince! A Prince!!!"
His status was noble, and he was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager. What was this woman's status, and what was his position!
He was so angry that his face turned red. Feng Yin Wan, seeing this, lazily curled her lips.
"Even if you were the King of Heaven, you'd have to call me Third Sister-in-law, unless, Prince Yun, you don't want to acknowledge the Prince as your brother."
Ye Ting Yun: ...!
This woman was simply too unreasonable; he couldn't argue with her at all!
Ye Ting Lan's expression darkened upon hearing this. He immediately spoke in a cold tone, cutting off the conversation.
"Let's eat."
Feng Yin Wan raised an eyebrow, intending to say a few more words. Unexpectedly, what came out of her mouth was a pig's trotter flying towards her, fitting perfectly into her mouth.
Feng Yin Wan's beautiful eyes widened, her mouth opening even wider than her eyes.
Seeing her silenced, Ye Ting Lan's thin lips curled. He smugly pushed the pig's trotter in a bit further.
"Princess Consort worked hard to treat Ting Yun's heart ailment, so eat more."
Feng Yin Wan: !!!
You motherfucker, she hated eating pig's trotters the most, especially this fatty one!
This person was doing it on purpose!
After being lectured by her in the side hall, Qin Ru Lian didn't even show her face at dinner.
Ye Ting Yun alone was naturally no match for Feng Yin Wan.
Feng Yin Wan had a very comfortable meal, except for the fatty meat Ye Ting Lan intentionally put in her bowl...!
Seeing that they were halfway through the meal, the meat in Feng Yin Wan's bowl had not decreased by half. Ye Ting Lan's dark eyes narrowed, and a hint of coldness overflowed.
"Why isn't Princess Consort eating? Is it that the portion I gave you is not to your liking?"
This tone, this expression.
It couldn't be called a threat, but it was as if "Dare to say no and I'll kill you" was written all over it!
Feng Yin Wan strategically retreated, nonchalantly turning her eyes away.
"No, Your Highness is overthinking things. Your concubine is just not very hungry."
Ye Ting Lan frowned sternly, "Is that so."
Before Feng Yin Wan could utter a "Yes," Ye Ting Yun, who had been quietly sipping tea, excitedly exclaimed.
"Third Brother, I just saw it. This woman ate all the meat on the table, but she didn't eat the one you gave her!"
What not hungry, she simply didn't want to eat it!
Dare to attack her?!
Feng Yin Wan glanced at him, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of sharpness.
"Your Highness, it's almost time. Prince Yun should drink his medicine."
Ye Ting Yun's health was naturally of utmost importance.
Hearing this, Ye Ting Lan immediately withdrew his gaze, "Send someone to bring Prince Yun's medicine."
Qi Xuan responded and quickly went out.
Feng Yin Wan watched his retreating back and said lazily, "Your Highness, this medicine is quite potent, but to be safe, you should personally watch Prince Yun drink it."
After all, an ordinary person probably wouldn't be able to drink it.
Hearing this, Ye Ting Yun felt a bad premonition immediately surge in his heart.
"Third Brother, I suddenly have an urgent need to... "
He said, attempting to get up, but before he could even lift his backside, he froze under Ye Ting Lan's death glare.
"It's not too late to go after you've taken your medicine."
"Yes, Prince Yun, you are young, holding it for a while is fine. But this medicine, it won't be good if it gets cold."
This woman dared to gloat!
He glared heavily at Feng Yin Wan, and Ye Ting Yun obediently sat back down.
In a moment, Qi Xuan brought the medicine. Even from a distance, a bitter smell permeated the air.
Based on years of experience drinking medicine, Ye Ting Yun instantly sensed it.
This medicine, it's not right!
"His Highness Prince Yun, please drink."
Qi Xuan stepped forward, the bowl almost reaching his lips.
Ye Ting Yun, with lingering fear, asked, "Third Brother, is this medicine really okay?"
He glanced at Feng Yin Wan, desperately hinting.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xuan spoke first, "His Highness Prince Yun, please rest assured. This subordinate has already had it tested, and it is not poisonous."
Ye Ting Yun stubbornly looked up, "Third Brother..."
"Drink it. It's good for your body."
Ye Ting Yun's heart turned to ash.
He looked at the dark brown liquid in the white jade bowl, picked it up with a sense of facing death, and drank it in one gulp...
And spat it out!
So bitter!
Bitterer than all the medicine he had drunk in the past ten years combined!
Feng Yin Wan raised an eyebrow, "Why did Prince Yun spit it out? Is it too bitter to drink?"
He couldn't let this damned woman look down on him!
Ye Ting Yun gritted his teeth and, unwilling to give up, took another sip.
He spat it out again!
It was truly, damnably bitter!
Is this medicine meant for humans?
Huh? Is this medicine meant for humans??
"Your Highness, your concubine sees that Prince Yun seems unable to drink it."
Feng Yin Wan spoke, her expression filled with concern.
Hearing this, Ye Ting Lan frowned. Before he could open his lips, he saw Ye Ting Yun stubbornly pick up the bowl again.
He drank one bowl of medicine, half-spitting and half-drinking, with only a few mouthfuls actually going down.
Finally, he finished the bowl, coughing violently, his face turning green.
Before he could take a sip of tea to soothe himself, he heard Feng Yin Wan's voice, like a death knell, ring out.
"This medicine needs to be drunk three bowls to be effective. Attendant Qi, quickly go to the kitchen and bring another bowl!"
