"Truly in love?"
Feng Yinwan scoffed.
"If I recall correctly, you two didn't even know each other before entering the palace yesterday. What, in just one day, you've fallen in love? Did Cupid tie you together with rebar?!"
"Eldest Sister!"
Feng Yiyi bit her lip.
"Meeting the Fourth Prince yesterday was fate. We fell in love at first sight, and we were bound to marry eventually. What's wrong with that?"
Feng Yinwan almost rolled her eyes.
"Feng Yiyi, your face is truly thicker than the sole of a shoe."
"There isn't even a hint of a wedding, yet you dare to speak so boldly. What, should I inform the Imperial Scriptorium and have your and the Fourth Prince's affair publicized properly?"
Feng Yiyi wished she would publicize it.
She hadn't been sure about making Ye Tingyu marry her originally. If this slut could really get the Imperial Scriptorium to publicize it, with the General's Mansion's status, it would be hard for her not to become the Fourth Prince's consort!
Ye Tingyu, of course, understood this better than she did.
"Third Sister-in-law is merely speaking in anger."
Subtly pushing Feng Yiyi aside, he immediately tidied his clothes and stood up.
"Third Sister-in-law, Yiyi and I are indeed truly in love. What happened just now was due to uncontrollable passion and would not happen again so disregarding of etiquette."
"Please rest assured, Third Sister-in-law. When General Feng and your elder brother return to the mansion, I will inform my father, the Emperor, and personally propose. I will not let the General's Mansion lose face."
His words were so fluent, as if recited from a script. Feng Yinwan knew with her toes that he must have said such nonsense more than once.
"My younger half-sister is impetuous. I fear she cannot bear the Fourth Prince's affections. I shall pretend I saw nothing today. Feng Yiyi, get up quickly."
Her intended prize slipping away, Feng Yiyi naturally refused, especially since Ye Tingyu had just personally said he would marry her!
"Eldest Sister, the Fourth Prince has already said this. Why must you be so aggressive and try to break us up!"
"Silence!"
Feng Yinwan's beautiful eyes flashed with anger.
"Shameless creature! Yuping, drag her back!"
"Yes."
Seeing Yuping about to grab her, Feng Yiyi was filled with shame and rage, losing her reason and screaming.
"Get away! I'm not going back, I'm not going back!"
"Slap—"
A crisp slap echoed, and the screaming stopped abruptly. Feng Yiyi clutched her face and fell back.
Feng Yinwan lowered her eyes, her gaze burning with cold fury.
"My patience is limited. If you dare to throw another tantrum, I will immediately report to His Majesty that the Zhenguo General's Mansion does not have a daughter like you!"
Feng Yiyi's eyes widened in terror. "No... you can't!"
"If you don't want to be kicked out of the mansion, get up and get out now."
Her pretty face was as cold as ice, yet her features were exceptionally striking, possessing a different kind of beauty now.
Ye Tingyu watched from the side, a trace of longing stirring in his heart once more.
He had never noticed such a stunning beauty before. It was truly a waste that Ye Tinglan got her!
"Why must Third Sister-in-law be so angry? Yiyi didn't mean to be disrespectful. Everything should prioritize the child in her belly."
Speaking of which, Ye Tingyu's gaze lingered on her lower abdomen for a moment.
With her figure, one could hardly tell she was pregnant.
A flash of disgust crossed Feng Yinwan's eyes as she turned away coldly.
"No need for the Fourth Prince's concern."
She said and walked directly outside. Feng Yiyi, led by Yuping, followed obediently.
In the private room, Ye Tingyu's gaze swept over the two figures, the hint of infatuation in his eyes deepening.
They walked out of the Huanyin Pavilion. Feng Yinwan paused, and Yuping immediately let go of Feng Yiyi.
"Feng Yiyi, I don't care how much you want to be a princess consort. If you dare to disgrace our family name or do anything that harms the General's Mansion's reputation, you won't be spared by me, let alone Father!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Yiyi let out a哼 and a smile, looking at her provocatively.
"What high-sounding words. You're just afraid that if I really become a princess consort, I'll be on equal footing with you."
"Eldest Sister, you were a princess consort before, and your demeanor was so imposing. You could easily suppress me. Now that the Fourth Prince fancies me, I'm about to become a princess consort."
"I am only one step away from the position of princess consort, and I will never let anyone ruin this step!"
She stared intently at Feng Yinwan, her eyes almost frenzied.
Feng Yinwan closed her beautiful eyes, her voice turning cold.
"Feng Yiyi, with such low-class tactics, you think you can ascend to the position of princess consort?"
"Are you dreaming?"
Ye Tingyu's background was not noble. If he were to contend for the throne, he would never marry an unfavored illegitimate daughter.
Feng Yiyi, however, was oblivious.
"Saying I'm dreaming? Feng Yinwan, aren't you too?"
This slut also shamelessly married into the Mo Prince's Mansion. What right did she have to say that about her!
Feng Yinwan was too lazy to reason with her.
"No matter what you think, remember what I just said."
The General's Mansion was one of the few things she wished to protect. If Feng Yiyi dared to ruin it, she would never let her off!
She had originally gone out to clear her head, but the outing only made her feel worse. Feng Yinwan felt today was truly unlucky.
"Let's go back."
Yuping was startled. "Miss, aren't you going to shop anymore?"
Not even eating at the Sihai Yunyan.
Feng Yinwan really wasn't in the mood and waved her hand, starting to walk back.
Yuping pursed her lips, about to follow, when she turned and saw a familiar figure.
"Hey, Imperial Physician Jiang?"
She recognized him. It was Jiang Rumò who had detoxified Miss last night.
Feng Yinwan's steps halted upon hearing this. She turned and indeed saw Jiang Rumò.
Unexpectedly meeting her here, Jiang Rumò was also taken aback.
"Greetings, Princess Consort."
Thinking of her injuries, he paused and reminded her.
"Princess Consort's body has not yet recovered and should not move about too much."
Feng Yinwan nodded.
"I heard that Imperial Physician Jiang detoxified this Princess Consort last night. Thank you for saving my life."
Jiang Rumò shook his head and stated truthfully.
"This humble minister merely prescribed a detoxification formula and dare not claim credit."
"This matter is thanks to the Prince. If it weren't for the Prince transferring his inner strength to the Princess Consort, the efficacy of the purple ginseng alone would likely not have been enough to detoxify."
"Inner strength?"
Feng Yinwan was stunned upon hearing this.
She had wondered why she always felt a breath of energy lingering within her after waking up, but upon close examination, there was nothing wrong. So it was Ye Tinglan's inner strength that had been transferred?
"What? Princess Consort didn't know?"
Feng Yinwan shook her head.
Ye Tinglan had truly said nothing about it.
Feeling that he had spoken out of turn, Jiang Rumò pursed his lips.
"My residence is just ahead. I happen to be passing by. Would Princess Consort like to come in for a sit?"
Feng Yinwan initially wanted to refuse, but thinking it impolite to reject him, she hesitated and then nodded.
Jiang Rumò's residence was located beside the bustling market, convenient yet quiet and elegant, a truly excellent dwelling.
"Princess Consort, please."
Upon entering, she smelled a medicinal fragrance. On the shelves at the front hall were countless medicinal herbs and rare treasures, immediately capturing Feng Yinwan's gaze.
As a fellow practitioner of medicine, Jiang Rumò naturally understood.
"These are all things I collected during my travels in the Jianghu. Princess Consort, if you are interested, you are welcome to inspect them."
"This is too embarrassing..."
She didn't just approach; she immediately reached out.
As she touched them, Feng Yinwan's gaze began to change.
Jiang Rumò's alarm bells immediately rang.
He had seen that look before. The last time this woman had been looking at Ye Tingyun's scriptures, she had looked like this!
Just as he was about to clear his throat to signal, he saw Feng Yinwan's beautiful eyes fix on one spot.
"What is this?"
