Chapter 138 Confrontation

After Madam Xu and the others were released, Feng Qingsui went to Qinghui Nuanrong Pavilion.

Seeing that they were unharmed, I felt relieved.

"I'm sorry to have frightened you."

She apologized.

"Each of you will receive one hundred taels of silver later to calm your nerves."

Madam Xu shook her head. "My life was saved by Madam. Even if I had to endure a little shock, I would have deserved it. There's no need for silver to calm my nerves. Madam, please don't be so reserved."

Qingmai and the others also said, "It is our blessing to be able to serve Madam. Madam has suffered an unexpected disaster this time. Even if we need to calm down, that person should be the one to do it for us."

Feng Qingsui was grateful for their consideration, but still insisted on giving the money.

"Take it, consider it my treat for you."

Speaking of eating, Madam Xu immediately recalled the meal they had at the White Crane Tower last time and asked with concern, "Madam, is the Prime Minister still holding you captive?"

Feng Qingsui smiled and said, "He has never detained me before. He was just pretending to do it for others to see."

Aunt Xu and others widened their eyes.

"In disguise?"

How could they have the privilege to see Prime Minister Ji perform?

Feng Qingsui told them the whole story.

Qingmai and the others were stunned when they heard this and sighed, "We thought wealthy families lived peaceful lives, but we didn't expect them to be more dangerous than us ordinary people."

Feng Qingsui chuckled: "There is no such thing as a peaceful day in this world. Only a moment of peace can bring a lifetime of uncertainty."

Qingmai and the others nodded continuously.

"Madam is right."

After chatting and laughing with them for a while, Feng Qingsui left with Wuhua.

When getting on the car, Wuhua glanced at the second floor of the teahouse diagonally opposite, and Feng Qingsui followed suit, but did not see anyone.

"What's wrong?"

She asked softly.

Wuhua retracted her gaze: "Just now someone was staring at us, and after I noticed him, he left the window."

Feng Qingsui guessed that it might be someone belonging to the Queen or Princess Yongning, and said with a smile, "Let's go, don't pay any attention to it."

Wuhua nodded and said yes.

After the donkey cart drove away, two figures appeared again at the teahouse window.

If Feng Qingsui were still here, he would definitely be surprised.

Because one of the figures was none other than Ayu.

"Young Master, by now you should understand that without sufficient power and status, you can't protect anything."

The middle-aged man with brown eyes standing beside A Yu said.

"The princess can easily file a complaint and have your boss thrown into jail. No matter how strong your ability is, you can't rescue her from prison alone."

"This is just a princess of the royal family without real power. What if it was someone with real power?"

"I know you have no intention of fighting for the throne, but your brother is on his way to Daxi. You must be well aware of his preferences. If he proposes an alliance with this lady as a condition for marriage, would you be able to stop him?"

Ayu clenched his fists.

The young man with brown eyes sighed: "By then, I'm afraid even Prime Minister Ji won't be able to stop it."

After a long time, A Yu unclenched his fist and asked in a hoarse voice, "How many people did you bring this time?"

…

Feng Qingsui knew that Princess Yongning would not give up, but he did not expect that her revenge method would be as simple and crude as ever.

When she and Wuhua went out to walk the dog, Mobao and Juanmao saw a skinny man carrying a sack from afar and started barking.

The skinny man looked confused.

"Madam, I sell yams."

He walked towards Feng Qingsui despite the barking of dogs.

"This is wild yam I dug from the mountain. It took a lot of effort to find it. It's very nutritious. Would you like to take a look?"

As he spoke, he reached out to untie the sack.

Wuhua bent down, picked up a stone, and hit his wrist accurately.

The sack fell to the ground.

The skinny man's face was filled with shock and anger. "I just wanted to sell some yams. If the lady doesn't want them, forget it. But how could you hit someone? Do you think we country people are easy to bully?"

Feng Qingsui said expressionlessly, "If you dare to eat this bag of yam raw, I will give you one hundred taels of silver."

The skinny man: "Who said I don't dare!"

After saying that, he squatted down and untied the sack.

Wuhua threw out two more stones with a "whoosh".

The skinny man covered his nearly broken wrist and roared, "You still say you're not bullying me? My bones are almost broken!"

The next moment, he grabbed the sack and threw it at Feng Qingsui and the other man.

Wuhua somersaulted over and kicked the bag over, letting the bag mouth fall over the skinny man's head.

"ah!--"

The skinny man screamed in pain.

The pedestrians were so shocked that they froze in place.

When they saw the colorful snake with a triangular head sliding down from the skinny man, they immediately fled in all directions.

Wuhua took a bamboo pole from a small boat docked on the bank of the inland river and knocked the poisonous snakes to the ground one by one.

Then he reported the case to the patrolling yamen runners.

The yamen runners did not get any confession from the skinny man - he was poisoned by several kinds of snake venom and died before he was taken to the yamen.

Feng Qingsui knew who the mastermind behind this was without even having to guess.

"You like being straightforward so much?"

She chuckled.

It just so happens that she also likes to be straightforward.

Then he turned around and returned home with Wuhua and the two dogs.

After a while, the Benz pulled the car onto the road out of the city with a "clatter, clatter, clatter" sound.

Princess Yongning lay in bed for two days. Her face was still pale, her heart palpitations were still there, and she was still drooling from time to time.

The Imperial Medical Bureau told her that this was a sequelae of poisoning and that she would recover slowly after recuperation.

She was so angry that she kept cursing the quack doctor.

The imperial physician left with a gloomy face.

Eunuch Wang was in great pain.

"Princess, how could you scold the hospital envoy? He's the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital. If you make him angry and leave, who will treat you?"

Princess Yongning glared at him and said, "Isn't this Court Envoy appointed by my father? If anyone can rule over me, I will ask my father to appoint him as Court Envoy at any time!"

Eunuch Wang: “…”

"How's the task you were asked to do going?"

Princess Yongning then asked.

Eunuch Wang: "We found twenty or thirty poisonous snakes, all of which can kill with one bite. If they can bite Feng, they will definitely kill her."

The premise is that you can "bite it".

He didn't think the snake trainer could get close to Feng so easily.

Princess Yongning seemed to have seen Feng Qingsui's death from poisoning, and her face turned from cloudy to bright.

"Help me wash my hair. I haven't washed it in a few days and it's very itchy."

Eunuch Wang respectfully obeyed.

Princess Yongning didn't like to fumigate her hair. After wringing her hair dry, she always liked to lie in the sun to dry her long hair.

Eunuch Wang was still terrified by the thought of the bird of prey, and he said cautiously, "Princess, the sun seems a bit strong. How about we go out on the porch and let some air dry?"

Princess Yongning scowled, "What are you afraid of? Even with the lessons learned from the past, can't you stop that flat-haired beast? If you're really that useless, I'll send you to hell as soon as possible."

Eunuch Wang: “…”

I had no choice but to move the beauty bed to the courtyard.

Princess Yongning had a handkerchief covering her face, lying on her back on the couch, with her long hair spread flat on the table behind her.

The maids stared at the sky intently, afraid that a dark shadow would appear.

No one noticed that a few drops of water fell from the sky and hit the long hair on the table.
