Meixiang didn't mention Huo Jincheng and Jian Ning by name when she scolded them. She called them "young master" and "bitch," but she mentioned the Taifu Mansion. She complained that she was a second-class maid in the Taifu Mansion, responsible for eating, drinking and having fun with the younger masters, not a third-class maid who was responsible for sweeping and doing rough work.

If she hadn't mentioned the Taifu Mansion, Feng Qingzi wouldn't have stopped and signaled Ding Gui to keep quiet.

After Meixiang vented her anger, she began to express her admiration and longing for Ding Youtian. Ding Gui whispered, "Wow, so she likes Fourth Uncle. No, she likes that bastard Ding Youtian. It seems like she wants to be Ding Youtian's concubine."

Feng Qingzi looked around and saw no one. He jumped up, grabbed Meixiang and covered her mouth. After a few leaps, he skimmed across the river like a dragonfly skimming the water and instantly disappeared into the forest opposite.

Ding Gui’s eyes widened. Oh my God, his fifth uncle was so powerful?

"You stay here and if anyone comes, tell them she went to the toilet." After instructing Ding Gui, Yang Wuqi leaped a few times and followed him across the river into the woods opposite, leaving Ding Gui alone and disheveled in the cold wind.

Feng Qingzi covered Meixiang's mouth and said, "I'm going to let you go. If you dare to make a sound, I'll break your neck and kill you instantly. If you understand, just nod your head."

Meixiang was terrified and nodded hurriedly. Feng Qingzi pushed her to the ground and said, "Tell me, is that old man Taifu in Dingjia Village?"

"Go back, go back." Meixiang initially thought that the man had kidnapped her to commit indecent acts, and she was scared to death. But when she heard him ask about the Taifu, she felt a little relieved and then she looked up at Feng Qingzi.

At first glance, she felt that it looked familiar.

Thinking about it again, he remembered that it was one of Ding Youtian's brothers. That night, their whole family came to Ding Youtian's house to make trouble. He was the guy who was arrested and locked up in the yamen for beating Tian's man.

"Why are you asking about my master?" After knowing that he was Ding Youtian's brother, she became bolder and her voice became a little higher.

"Answer the questions honestly. When will it be your turn to ask questions?" Yang Wuqi walked over and kicked her. "If you tell even a single lie, you'll lose your head."

"You dare to kick me?" Meixiang was a bit aggressive. Knowing the other party's identity and relying on the fact that she was from the Taifu Mansion in the capital, she got up and kicked Yang Wuqi back.

Yang Wuqi was about to punish her, but Feng Qingzi waved her off and then looked at Meixiang, "How about we make a deal? I'll help you fulfill your wish and let you marry that Ding. You tell me everything you know. How about that?"

"What ability do you have to make my wish come true?" Meixiang looked disdainful and didn't believe that he had such ability at all.

Feng Qingzi took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and said, "The day after tomorrow is the La Festival. I will lure the Jian family away for you then. You just need to dissolve the pill inside and have Ding take it. It will be difficult for him to not get along with you then."

"Really?" Meixiang took the porcelain bottle with a half-believing, half-doubting attitude, opened it, and poured out a red pill. She had also heard of aphrodisiacs, so she put it under her nose and sniffed it. "You're not lying to me, are you? Could this be poison? I don't want to kill Brother Ding."

"He is my brother after all. What good will it do me if I kill him?"

Meixiang thought about it and realized that this was the truth. Brother Ding had separated from them, and if they killed Brother Ding, they would not be able to get Brother Ding's family's money. Only then did she feel relieved.

"What do you want to know?" she asked Feng Qingzi.

"Has the Grand Tutor been to Dingjia Village? And Huo Jincheng, where is he now? How many people came with them, and what are they doing here?"

"My master has already returned to the capital. Didn't you see my young master that night? He even brought a man with a broken hand with him that night."

"Where is he at the moment, and what is he doing?"

Meixiang pointed to the left and said, "They're digging sand over there. They seem to be making lanterns and glass, and they're also trying to generate electricity. I don't quite understand what they're doing, but you'll know when you go and see for yourself."

Feng Qingzi lowered his eyes and scratched his chin lightly in thought. Although he didn't understand what Huo Jincheng and the others were tinkering with, one thing was certain: what they came up with would please the emperor and help the prince win the hearts of both the emperor and the people.

This won't do.

The prince was about to ascend the throne and become the new emperor, and all the glory and wealth in his life became like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

"How many men did your young master bring with him?"

"My young master didn't bring many people with him. They were all craftsmen from all over the place. However, my young master's master brought a group of people with him. They all looked very capable. They set up several camps at the foot of the mountain. It was very crowded."

Meixiang deliberately mentioned Weidong. She looked down on "Old Five" and she had also heard that Old Five had run away with gambling debts. She thought he was trying to rob her son, so she brought up Weidong. She thought that her son was already very powerful, and his master would be even more powerful, which would make "Old Five" even more frightened.

Is the old thief Wei here too?

The strength of that eunuch should not be underestimated. Nanyangzi alone is already a problem for Feng Qingzi, not to mention the captain of the police named Ma and the Jian family.

Feng Qingzi has never faced such a big trouble in these years. Even Old Man Wei has been dispatched. He is even more certain that these people are up to no good. No matter what they want to do, they must not be allowed to succeed!

"I'm leaving now. I haven't finished washing the clothes yet, and there's still a lot of work to do. I've told you everything I know."

"Wait!" Feng Qingzi stopped her, "If you dare to reveal a single word about what happened today, you won't be able to get my brother, and I can easily take your life. Think carefully."

"As long as I can get what I want, I won't say a word. I'm worried that you might tell others."

Feng Qingzi waved his hand and let her go.

Meixiang still had a long way to go back to the other side, but she was happy. She held the porcelain vase tightly and began to fantasize. After leaving the forest, she walked briskly downstream. There were many rocks in the shallow water that could jump to the other side.

"Take this and go to Prince Zhao's mansion." Feng Qingzi took out Prince Zhao's token and instructed Yang Wuqi, "Send someone to the capital to report the news first. On the night of the La Festival, bring people to this forest to ambush. Wait for my message then. This time, we must eliminate Huo Jincheng and the others. We must not let them succeed. Go!"

"Yes, disciple will set off immediately." Yang Wuqi took the token and felt happy. Now that was good, after the matter was settled, he would chop off Meng's dog head with a knife and ask for double the silver back.

They dared to treat him as a servant. He had never suffered such humiliation in the palaces of Prince Zhao and Prince Yong. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could chop that dead old woman Meng to pieces right away.

Feng Qingzi waited for a while on the other side of the river, and only when no one except Ding Gui was moving around did he cross the river. Ding Gui's admiration for his "Fifth Uncle" reached five stars, and he excitedly pulled his arm and said, "Fifth Uncle, take me to the other side too. My father and the others are working on the other side where the current is fast."

"Don't go today. Go back and let your fifth uncle teach you boxing." Feng Qingzi hurried back to find Meng, so that Meng could talk to the eldest brothers of the Ding family in the evening, and he could come to work tomorrow. That way it would be more convenient to find out the truth, and then catch them all in one fell swoop!
