Chapter 20 Meet Your Prey
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 n.o.ble, 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 s.l.u.t! 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, “b.i.t.c.h!”
“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 w.a.n.g 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 taht, 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 b.i.t.c.h? 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 w.a.n.g 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, n.o.ble 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!
