"The head of the household..."

Jin Feng said with a slightly melancholy expression, "Me? I was originally a maidservant who accompanied the former queen in her dowry..."

"The former queen?"

"Yes! It was the Crown Prince's biological mother... who died four years ago..."

"Oh, go on."

Jin Feng murmured, "After the former queen died, the Prince of Yan placed us 'confidants' in the homes of various members of the royal family as their principal wives, to keep an eye on them and see if they would do anything improper!"

"Oh, I see!"

Jiang Ming sighed and asked, "Did Ji Bochang do anything improper?"

"Oh......."

Jin Feng sneered, "This good-for-nothing man, if he really had that ambition and courage... how could I look down on him like this? Husband, you don't understand women. Women admire strength and despise cowards the most!"

"Oh...so what do you think of me?"

"puff!"

Jin Feng nuzzled Jiang Ming's chin with her sweet cheek and murmured, "My husband is a brave and resourceful man, and also the most talented scholar! He is the most remarkable man I have ever met... I heard that in Yanshan, you not only repelled the Xianbei people, but also took advantage of the conflict between the Xianbei and the Xiongnu to severely damage the Xiongnu?"

"Well......"

Jiang Ming grinned: "The news spreads pretty fast..."

Jin Feng winked slyly: "How can this be kept secret? My husband, I know... you're a smart man, and you want to use Ji Bochang's name to avoid a lot of trouble, but... your talent doesn't allow you to remain so low-key, does it? Don't you... want a place in the Yan court? Actually, if I just put in a good word for you with the King of Yan..."

"hehe......"

Jiang Ming pinched Jin Feng's chin, slightly lifting her jaw to interrupt her: "Madam, I was just saying you were clever, how come you're confused again now? Do I need to? If Ji Bochang becomes the Prince of Yan, does it matter whether he becomes a powerful minister a day sooner or a day later? The current environment is not good, and I don't want to become someone the young masters try to win over, facing the dilemma of choosing sides, and ultimately getting caught up in a life-or-death struggle. I also want to be like you, reaping the fruits of victory in the end..."

"Giggle!"

Jin Feng laughed and said, "He really is my man. I was just saying that..."

"By the way, Madam, since you are the Prince of Yan's informant, how do you usually communicate with him?"

"Of course, I'll write a letter...hehehe!"

Jin Feng smiled and said, "Every month on the fifteenth, the palace sends someone named Zhou San to collect my letters..."

"Oh, I see!"

"My dear husband! From now on, I'll write the letters for you, and you can just give them to Zhou San. Anyway, you're the steward of the prefectural governor's mansion now..."

"Okay, okay!"

Hearing Jin Feng say this, Jiang Ming finally felt relieved.

"Madam, why does the Prince of Yan trust you so much? What benefits has he given you?" Jiang Ming asked curiously.

Jin Feng's eyes darted around, and she seemed a little guilty, not daring to look Jiang Ming in the eye.

"Hey! Tell me..."

Jiang Ming laughed and said, "We're practically husband and wife now, what's there that we can't say openly?"

"It's not that I can't say it outright..."

Tears of grievance welled up in Jin Feng's sad eyes as she murmured, "I'm afraid you... will despise me."

How could that be?

"Why not?"

Jin Feng sadly shed tears and murmured, "Since I was the former queen's dowry maid, I was bound to be... defiled by that old man... and I was bound to cater to him and make him happy. That's how... that's how I gained his trust. My husband, you won't despise me for not being a virgin, will you?"

"Ouch!"

Jiang Ming hugged her tightly and laughed, "Look at you, I'm not that petty..."

"My husband!"

Jin Feng held Jiang Ming's hand tightly, her eyes filled with infatuation yet also tinged with malice, and said, "It's all because we were born at the wrong time, that we didn't meet sooner. That Prince Yan took my virginity, so I'll take his kingdom. Ji Bochang defiled my body, so I'll take his life... to avenge my husband!"

Looking at Jin Feng's resolute eyes, Jiang Ming felt a surge of emotions...

Jin Feng is a very complicated and conflicted woman!

You could call her a heartless, ruthless, and utterly evil person!

But she was truly good to the people she loved!

It's like many heinous murderers who turn out to be very filial sons...

However, this is precisely what is deceptive!

This makes it easy for people to overlook the danger posed by such individuals...

"Madam, it's getting late, let's rest..."

Princess Jiang Ming picked up Jin Feng and carried her to the bed.

"My husband, I want..."

Jin Feng's hands groped Jiang Ming's body.

"Oh! Listen to me... Your period isn't over yet, and you still have injuries..." Jiang Ming comforted him.

"It's alright, my husband..."

Jin Feng gripped Jiang Ming's hand tightly, saying passionately, "I'm not afraid of having my period, I want it..."

wipe!

Jin Feng's words made Jiang Ming's heart skip a beat.
