Feng Yinwan arrived with a smile and left in a huff. On her way back to the main courtyard, she had cursed Ye Tinglan a thousand times in her heart.
As she entered, she ran into Ye Tinglan coming out of his room. She shot him a displeased glance and directly sidestepped into the room.
Ye Tinglan frowned and reached out to stop her.
"What's wrong?"
She had been fine just moments ago, so why was she looking at him like that now?
Feng Yinwan sneered, "Is Your Highness asking me?"
She had kindly returned to offer a reminder, staying up all night to deal with this person's poison, and now she still had to painstakingly concoct an antidote.
And him? He had ordered her courtyard to be sealed off first thing in the morning. What was laughable was that he was still asking her what was wrong!
Ye Tinglan looked at the heavy anger on her pretty face, somewhat bewildered.
"Who upset you?"
"A dog!"
Feng Yinwan shoved him away forcefully and began packing her things as soon as she entered the room.
Ye Tinglan's handsome face darkened. He stared intently at her retreating back, his brows almost furrowed into the character "川".
She had only returned on a whim. The so-called belongings were just the bottles and jars for concocting medicine.
Feng Yinwan lifted the hem of her outer skirt, scooped up its contents, and headed out.
Qi Xuan had finally managed to send Qin Rulian back. As he entered, he saw this scene and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
"Wangfei..."
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Yinwan's sharp gaze was already upon him.
She glared at him and lifted her red lips coldly, "Guard Qi is indeed someone by His Highness's side. I am truly impressed by your ability to speak nonsense with your eyes open!"
No wonder Qi Xuan had always been evasive when she wanted to go to Lan Qing Courtyard. He clearly didn't want her to know the truth!
Qi Xuan felt guilty and dared not look up. Feng Yinwan snorted coldly, called Yu Ping from the side room, and left the manor.
Ye Tinglan's handsome face was clouded with gloom. "What exactly is going on?"
Qi Xuan sighed silently, lowered his head even further in a meek manner.
"Wangfei said just now that she wanted to return to Lan Qing Courtyard to get her medicine..."
He didn't dare to say the rest.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tinglan's expression froze. He pursed his thin lips and finally remained silent.
Vaguely, Qi Xuan saw a trace of regret on his master's face and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Master, you reap what you sow!
The entire way, Yu Ping was so intimidated by her mistress's aura that she didn't dare to ask any questions.
As soon as they returned to the manor, a guard stepped forward.
"Eldest Miss, Madam Yu specifically requested to see you. We have advised her many times, but..."
Yesterday, when Yu Shi was half-dead, her power was stripped away. When she woke up today and learned of this, she was so angry that she fell off the bed.
She had been making a fuss all morning, insisting on seeing Feng Yinwan, and even threatened to kill herself by banging her head against the courtyard wall if Feng Yinwan refused to see her.
Already feeling annoyed, Feng Yinwan had no intention of indulging her.
"Such a trivial matter requires reporting? Where are the guards of Fenghua Courtyard? Have them watch her without leaving her side. Apart from meals, no one is to open the door for her."
"Eldest Miss, this is perhaps not in accordance with the rules..."
Yu Shi was, after all, a concubine of General Feng. It was not appropriate to have other men in her chamber.
The strict separation of men and women in ancient times was truly troublesome!
Feng Yinwan's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Then have someone knock her unconscious and lock her in the room. If she dares to make a scene again, tie her up with ropes."
"This..."
The guard was still hesitating when he heard Feng Yinwan speak coldly.
"Tell her that if she doesn't quiet down, Feng Yiyi will have an even worse time in prison."
Feng Yiyi was Yu Shi's lifeline.
The guard nodded and withdrew immediately.
After dismissing everyone, Feng Yinwan returned to the embroidery building and took a comfortable bath, feeling much refreshed.
As she yawned, Yu Ping came in with a bath towel.
"Miss, the water is getting cold. Let me help you change."
Feng Yinwan nodded listlessly and climbed out of the bathtub. While Yu Ping was tidying her clothes, she casually asked.
"Has there been any news from the Capital Prefecture?"
After her warning yesterday, Feng Yiyi wouldn't be able to sit still.
Unexpectedly, Yu Ping shook her head, "I just asked Guard Cheng. He said there's no news yet."
Feng Yinwan's brows knitted slightly.
It had been a whole night, and she still hadn't confessed?
"Have Cheng Yi send someone to the Capital Prefecture to inquire. Say it is my wish."
Yu Ping smoothed out the wrinkles on her sash and nodded, "Yes."
After being frightened, Yu Shi did indeed quiet down. Feng Yinwan took a short nap and then got up to read medical books.
She truly wanted to wash her hands of the matter, but she couldn't.
She had only flipped through a couple of pages when the guard returned.
"Eldest Miss, Madam Yu insists on seeing you."
Feng Yinwan frowned impatiently. "Didn't I already say this morning? Have them follow the instructions."
The guard hesitated slightly and presented something in his hand.
"Eldest Miss, Madam Yu asked me to give this to you, saying you would understand once you saw it."
What he handed over was a pair of pearl hairpins. Feng Yinwan looked up slightly and her beautiful eyes froze.
These hairpins were in the style of the Western Regions.
After a slight pause, her lips curled into a smile.
Yu Shi was truly making great efforts for Feng Yiyi!
Seeing her expression change, the guard hesitantly spoke, "Eldest Miss, will you go and see her?"
Feng Yinwan stood up, her hand resting on the medical book on the table.
"Go to Fenghua Courtyard."
Cheng Yi diligently had his men surround Fenghua Courtyard three layers inside and three layers outside, making it very secure.
Upon seeing Feng Yinwan arrive, he immediately stepped forward.
"Eldest Miss."
Feng Yinwan nodded. "Open the gate. This Wangfei wishes to see Madam Yu."
Cheng Yi hesitated slightly upon hearing this. "Eldest Miss, Madam Yu was agitated after waking up. Her mind may not be clear yet. Do you truly wish to go in?"
"It's fine."
Seeing her firm attitude, Cheng Yi said no more. He waved his hand, and the guards immediately opened the courtyard gate.
Feng Yinwan stepped in and lightly gave an order, "No need to follow."
As if she had already anticipated her arrival, Yu Shi immediately came out of her room upon hearing the sound. When she looked at Feng Yinwan, there was still intense venom in her eyes.
"Feng Yinwan, you've finally deigned to see me!"
She was right. This little slut cared about her short-lived mother's遗物 (relics/belongings).
And these things must be of great origin!
Feng Yinwan glanced at her lightly and directly gathered her skirts before sitting down to the side.
"Madam Yu went to such great lengths, even bringing out my mother's遗物 (relics/belongings), just to lure this Wangfei here."
They both knew what these things were.
Having stayed up all night, her complexion was not as good as before. As she sat down, her elbow rested on the stone table, and her flat lower abdomen was exposed without any pretense.
Yu Shi's expression flickered upon hearing this. Her gaze swept over Feng Yinwan's waist, and she began to ponder.
That blow of hers had hit this slut right on the waist. Seeing her poor complexion, could it be... there was indeed some problem with her stomach?!
Her eyes flashed quickly. Before she could feel a surge of joy, Feng Yinwan flicked her sleeve, and her waist was completely covered.
Yu Shi looked up and met Feng Yinwan's slightly cold gaze.
"Speak. Where are my mother's遗物 (relics/belongings)?"
