Cai Die thought about the things Feng Zhiqiong had told her to do, and if she didn't finish it, when she returned to the Plum Court, she would definitely be whipped by her. Thus, she thought about how in the past, although the eldest miss was virtuous and noble, she was kind-hearted.
After thinking about this, Cai Die kneeled down in the direction of Feng Zhiyao.
"Eldest Miss, this servant begs your pity, if this servant can't invite Eldest Miss, this servant will definitely be scolded by Second Miss when I go back. Wuu, wuu, Eldest Miss, you have a bodhisattva's heart, you definitely won't be able to bear this servant's pain. Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss, this servant will kowtow to you now …"
In short, Cai Die kept kowtowing to Feng Zhiyao. Perhaps it was for the sake of her life, but she kept kowtowing so hard that her white forehead started to ooze scarlet blood beads.
Feng Zhiyao continued to rest with her eyes closed. She didn't expect that Feng Zhiqiong's personal girl had some tricks up her sleeve. She knew how to trick her into joining the bet. Unfortunately, she didn't respond, so she let Cai Die kneel.
Cai Die saw that her forehead was covered in blood, how could eldest miss not feel any pity?
"Cai Die, why aren't you kowtowing anymore? Could it be that you are tired and wants to rest and continue kowtowing?" Seeing that she didn't hear the sound of kowtowing for quite a while, Feng Zhiyao slowly raised her eyelids. She raised her hand and gently fanned the cool breeze, asking leisurely.
The warm wind was slow, the crabapple blossoms in the yard gently fell down, sparkling like snow, captivating red like a pail, falling on the delicate beauty's dress.
"…" Cai Die raised her head and blankly stared at Feng Zhiyao bathed in sunlight and rain of flowers. She immediately felt like a fairy, sacred and inviolable. For some reason, Cai Die was scared by Feng Zhiyao's powerful aura and shivered, not saying a word.
"Zi Yun, go get a bowl of water for Cai Die to quench her thirst. It's been such a hot day and she's been kowtowing for so long. She must be thirsty!" Feng Zhiyao said with a gentle and virtuous tone, as if Cai Die kowtowing was a natural thing for her. She even considerately ordered Zi Yun to bring Cai Die a bottle of water to quench her thirst!
Zi Yun received a hint from her eldest miss' gaze and walked over with a broken porcelain bowl filled with hot water.
Cai Die looked at the bowl of water that Zi Yun handed over, her eyes filled with resentment, was it easy for her Cai Die? After kneeling for nearly an hour, her eldest young miss did not ask her to stand up, and she even gave her a broken porcelain bowl to drink.
However, she was indeed thirsty. Thus, she lowered her eyes, concealing the resentment in her eyes. She wanted to raise her hand to receive the broken porcelain bowl on the tray in Zi Yun's hand.
As soon as she caught the broken porcelain bowl, she grimaced from the heat of the water.
This time, Cai Die did not want to feel wronged, she could only curse out loud, "A despicable woman that no one wants! You deserve to be annulled by the Prince! Hmph." After saying that, Cai Die coldly threw the broken porcelain bowl in Feng Zhiyao's direction.
Fortunately, Feng Zhiyao had dodged well, avoiding that broken porcelain bowl. Otherwise, she would have her skin wounded.
"How dare you slut! It's one thing to slander my name, but you actually plotted against me, Zi Yun! Go, slap her mouth!" When Feng Zhiyao saw that Cai Die had shed her image as the miserable female character, she couldn't be bothered to put on an act with her. She directly called out for Zi Yun to take action.
After Zi Yun received the order, she drew Cai Die's face. How could Cai Die be willing to let her hit? She quickly grabbed Zi Yun's hair.
"What exactly happened that caused the maidservants to fight each other? How is this proper?" It turned out that it was Feng Wucai who had come to the Begonia Garden to see Feng Zhiyao, this legitimate daughter.
"Yao'er, what's wrong with them?" Feng Wucai was not in a good mood because of how the polictical parties were trying to involve him in. Now that he saw his maidservants acting so vulgarly, he became even more infuriated.
"Father, Cai Die said that Yao'er is a despicable woman that no one wants! Zi Yun was still angry, so she started arguing with her. This Cai Die still wanted to pluck Zi Yun's hair, why do you think this servant is so arrogant! Father… You have to help Yao'er!"
Feng Zhiyao thought, "Okay, since you want to play a childish game with me, we can only reluctantly keep you company. However, it's hard to say who will win the fight!"
"What? Cai Die? Are you really scolding Eldest Miss?" Feng Wancai was so angry that his eyes were wide open and he raised his foot to kick Cai Die, "Bitch!"
"Men, take the family law!" Butler Feng, who was behind Feng Wancai, saw the expression on the old master's face and knew that Cai Die was in trouble.
Thus, Butler Feng conveniently signaled Wang Hu, who was guarding the door, and signaled him to call First Wife Su Qiaoyin over. This Su Qiaoyin was Feng Zhiqiong's mother, who was also Su Muyan's aunt.
"Father, forget it, Cai Die might not mean that, but someone must have said it, that's why Cai Die said that about Yao'er!" Feng Zhiyao thought, using family law, wouldn't it be too easy for Cai Die, that bitch? As the Night Demon's golden killer, she had ways of torturing others, so she asked for mercy.
"Humph!" Feng Wucai coldly glanced at Cai Die's small body on the ground, coldly snorting.
"Father, this little girl Cai Die has been with little sister Zhiqiong for so long without any achievements, but work hard. So much effort is needed to take care of little sister Zhiqiong, dad, don't punish her too seriously. It's better to give little sister Zhiqiong face and punish her with half a month's worth of silver."
The more Feng Zhiyao continued, the more Cai Die felt guilty. Previously, she had gone overboard with her scolding of the eldest miss. After all, she had been criticized as being unwanted by others, which was indeed very hurtful.
"Old master, this servant is wrong, this servant is wrong. Old master, please give this servant a chance! Woo woo …" This time, it was Cai Die who was really crying.
"Father, what are you doing to punish Cai Die?" Feng Zhiqiong happened to be going to the Melody Pavilion to pay her respects. After hearing Wang Hu's report, she hurriedly came with her mother, Su Qiaoyin.
Strange, didn't Cai Die help her by inviting Feng Zhiyao to watch snow epiphyllum tonight? Why did Cai Die look like she had been beaten up?
Could it have been Feng Zhiyao's doing?
Therefore, Feng Zhiqiong's gaze suddenly became sharp. Suddenly, she remembered that her father was beside her. No matter what, she must pretend to be a good sister! So that Father could arrange her marriage to the King of Qi as soon as possible.
"Alright, let's do it according to Yao'er's wishes today! Cai Die, hurry up and thank the young miss! " Feng Wucai thought about the scheming of the children in the backyard and felt a little sorry for the legitimate daughter. Her mother had died early. Among all the children, he liked Feng Zhiyao the most.
"Yes, master, this servant thanks eldest miss for her forgiveness!" Cai Die's eyes inadvertently caught her second young miss' sinister gaze. She thought about her second young miss' vicious methods and all the hairs on her body stood up.
Feng Zhiyao said with a faint smile, "No need to thank me. You can take care of yourself from now on!" Later, enjoy my torturous journey!
All the servants looked at Eldest Miss' bodhisattva smile and thought to themselves, What a beautiful smile, what a beautiful Eldest Miss. What a pity, to actually have her marriage annulled by the King of Qi!
The servants, who had originally wanted to laugh at the Begonia Garden, all had expressions of pity on their faces. They were all worried that the kind-hearted Eldest Miss would find a good home in the end.
After seeing her father and mother leave the Begonia Garden together, although Feng Zhiyao was angry at her father's refusal, she still did not give up and asked again, "Elder sister, how about we enjoy snow epiphyllum in the back garden tonight? I've even invited the other young masters and misses of the Venerable families! And fireworks at night! What do you say to having fun together? "
Wait, noble young master?
That means there will be good prey tonight!
Feng Zhiyao pretended to be silent for a moment, then she gently smiled and said, "Since little sister Zhiqiong has invited me so many times, wouldn't it be too unreasonable if big sister refused again!? How about this, I will definitely be there tonight!"
"That's good!" Hearing this, Feng Zhiqiong was extremely excited. It seemed that tonight's plan was prepared for everything but the east wind!
The moon hung in the sky, and a gentle breeze blew past. In an instant, the sparkling moonlight scattered down like a silver ray of light, covering the entire garden with a layer of silver mist.
In the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the snow epiphyllum were about to bloom in another two hours. At this moment, many familiar faces had already gathered.
Feng Zhiyao heard people talking about her and King of Qi's engagement from afar.
"Qiong'er, what did you invite that shameless woman for?" The one who spoke was Su Muyan. He had already seen Feng Zhiyao's graceful figure from far away. It had obstructed the matter of him being "seduced" by her earlier, so he hated her even more!
Feng Zhiyao acted as if she didn't hear Su Muyan's words and directly walked into the moon shaped pavilion in the middle of the garden. Her smile was so light that people couldn't tell what she was thinking.
She swept her gaze in all four directions. Almost all of the people she knew were here, Situ Yelei, Beitang Ziqian, Wen Xingyuan, and even the Xuanyuan siblings. However, the beautiful woman beside Beitang Ziqian looked very similar to Beitang Ziqian.
Wait, why is Li Mincan among them? Could it be that he was also a scion of a noble family? As for the three men and two women, she was not very familiar with them!
"Sister, why have you only just arrived?" "But it's not too late. This Ephemeral Snow Flower won't bloom for at least another two hours." Feng Zhiqiong glanced at Feng Zhiyao, immediately stopping her conversation with Xuanyuan Lingxi.
Feng Zhiyao mumbled when she saw these two stupid women together again. It seemed that she hadn't succeeded in taunting them. It seemed that she had to work harder.
Feng Zhiqiong's hout of "Sister" focused the attention of these men and women on Feng Zhiyao.
Li Mincan was very surprised to see Feng Zhiyao here. He thought that if the two met again, they wouldn't be in public.
He looked at the beautiful girl who was unconscious like a pearl and couldn't help but fall into a trance. He remembered the situation a few days ago when she had saved him … Now that she was in front of his eyes again, his gaze fell on her, and his heart fluttered like a fawn's.
A pair of pear-shaped cheeks appeared on Feng Zhiyao's white and tender face. The faint blush from her rouge made her cheeks look as smooth as peach blossoms, revealing her rosy white complexion.
Her eyebrows were curved, like a painting, a pair of eyes that looked forward to the light. Her mesmerizing eyes were clear in black and white, rippling with an enchanting charm. The pearl white wide ribbon was tied up, and her long black hair gave off a fairy aura.
She had long hair and a droop of white and pink flowers at her temples. Occasionally, one or two disobedient beads would droop down from her hair, adding a bit of true and fantasy beauty to it. She wore a milky white jade bracelet around her wrist, exuding an indescribable radiance that complemented her plain attire. She wore a thin silver necklace on her neck, faintly glowing with a purple luster. It was only a purple crystal, and its entire body exuded a natural and fresh yet graceful aura. However, it was actually able to forcibly compete with the young ladies who were wearing makeup.
Xuanyuan Haofei looked at the different Feng Zhiyao and a strange feeling flashed across his heart. When he wanted to investigate further, it had already flashed past.
Ever since Feng Zhiyao appeared, Situ Yelei's gaze had been glued onto her pretty face, not moving the slightest bit.
This caused Xuanyuan Lingxi to clench her teeth in anger and clench her fists. Thus, the corners of her lips curled up slightly as she spoke out. "Eldest Miss has really given us a lot of face. She made us wait for her for a long time!"
When Situ Yelei heard such harsh words, his pretty eyebrows slightly creased. Why was Princess Lingxi becoming even more unreasonable!
Feng Zhiyao and Feng Zhiqiong both knew very well that Xuanyuan Lingxi was making things difficult for Feng Zhiyao. Feng Zhiqiong thought that Feng Zhiyao would glare at her angrily or find excuses, but Feng Zhiyao only smiled lightly.
"I'm really sorry. Just give me a few more shots later!" Feng Zhiyao didn't want to lose her composure in front of Li Mincan and the others, so she smiled as if she was blaming herself.
"That's right, Princess Lingxi is right. It must be that Eldest Miss is looking down on us, so she came late!" The beautiful woman beside Beitang Ziqian smiled sweetly. However, her words were very aggressive.
"That's right, what big sister Zixuan said is what I wanted to say!" Xuanyuan Lingxi hurriedly nodded her head like a chick pecking rice when she saw that someone had replied.
"Well, what can I do to allay your grievances?" That's true. Waiting for someone to hone her skills was indeed tormenting. She admitted that she was a little lazy, but she slept a little more. This time, she almost missed out on the beautiful man hunting.
When Feng Zhiyao heard Xuanyuan Lingxi address the woman next to Beitang Ziqian as big sister Zixuan, she knew in her heart that Beitang Zixuan was the younger sister of Beitang Ziqian. She was also the number one prodigy in the entire Nan Shao Kingdom, and the title of "number one prodigy" had been given by the old emperor himself!
"No matter how much I resent, I can't compare to the grudge of someone being divorced!" "Hmph!" Beitang Zixuan was quite proud and arrogant. At this moment, she was coldly refuted by Feng Zhiyao. Her face immediately turned the color of a pig's liver as she mockingly said, not wanting to show any weakness.
Hate, big brother Xingyuan had been looking at Feng Zhiyao the whole time. He really didn't know what was so good about a woman who had her marriage annulled!
After Beitang Zixuan saw King Qi, Xuanyuan Haofei, hand over a silk book to Feng Zhiyao, the corner of her mouth slightly hooked up. Ha, the rumors were true, and it was rumored that King Qi had dissolved Feng Zhiyao's engagement.
Feng Zhiyao received the marriage annulment letter and hurriedly told Zi Yun to keep it properly. She thought to herself, I've finally recovered. God, she was so happy that she almost jumped three feet into the air.
However, if the ancient woman was delivered with the marriage annulment letter on the spot, her normal expression should be filled with tears, right?
However, she couldn't cry in front of so many people! But be good enough to pretend to be sad. She pretended to be listless and lowered her head, not saying a word.
Feng Zhiqiong seeing that Xuanyuan Haofei had really brought the marriage annulment book over to Feng Zhiyao, she immediately felt sweet inside. It seemed that Brother Hao cared about her the most. Thus, her lips unconsciously raised upwards.
In the eyes of Wen Xingyuan and Li Mincan, Feng Zhiyao looked lonely and forgiving.
Situ Yelei felt that this was a bit too much for Xuanyuan Haofei to deliver the marriage annulment letter in public!
Su Muyan inexplicably felt that he was in a much better mood. It was a good thing for such a shameless girl to have her marriage annulled!
Although Beitang Ziqian didn't really like Feng Zhiyao, it was still quite embarrassing for a girl who hadn't been married yet to be delivered the marriage annulment letter on the spot. Thus, he signaled Zixuan not to mock her.
After Feng Zhiyao's happiness, she thought again. Xuanyuan Haofei really knew how to pick the right time. He gave her the marriage annulment letter at this time, it was really shameless! And in front of so many people, it was not giving her any face at all!
"Alright, I suddenly feel tired. You guys can continue admiring the Ephemeral Snow Flower! I'll leave first!" Feng Zhiyao pretended to leave.
"If you leave now, are you afraid of competing with us?" Xuanyuan Lingxi remembered that she was going to recite poetry. If Feng Zhiyao left, wouldn't it mean that she wouldn't be able to find fault with her?
Intimidation? Such a childish provocation!
Feng Zhiyao stopped in her tracks, "I'm not interested!" A cold voice rang out, penetrating through the darkness of the night, making her seem even more powerful.
"Elder sister, for your younger sister's sake, don't leave the table early! Well?" Feng Zhiqiong said. If Feng Zhiyao left now, wouldn't all her preparations be in vain?
"What if there's a prize?" Xuanyuan Haofei's enchanting black eyes looked at Feng Zhiyao. His sudden suggestion had brought the current atmosphere to its climax …
