When Bai Rumei saw someone coming, she stopped what she was doing, took off her hairpin and combed Ji Fengyao's hair. She ignored the sarcastic Mi Jiang'er and sat down next to Ji Fengyao.

Ji Fengyao paused, holding the half-piece of white hoof cake in her hand. Her eyes flickered, and her smile deepened.

Mi Jiang'er and Shan Yuheye led their maids over to pay their respects to Ji Fengyao. The two women cast rather unfriendly glances at the silent and gentle Bai Rumei.

Ji Fengyao glanced at the two uninvited guests, put down the pastries in her hand, deliberately exuded a bandit-like aura, and with a long leg sweeping across her body, stared at the two with a smug smile: "I'm all for this kind of thing, so what, you have a problem with it?"

Mi Jiang'er and Shanyu Heye were startled and waved their hands.

"No, no objection!"

"This humble servant wouldn't dare!"

After saying that, Mi Jiang'er was still unwilling to give up, so she mustered up her courage and pointed in Bai Rumei's direction, saying, "Your Highness, don't be fooled by her seemingly innocent appearance. She is not a good person. Several maids in the manor who accidentally offended her died mysteriously in the end. Even Consort Jia said that she is very evil."

Mi Jiang'er was born with sharp eyes and a clever and intelligent appearance.

But Ji Fengyao only wanted to say it.

Girl, you're really something else. You love to jump around on the edge of death so much. You're the kind of person who should have been killed off in the first episode of a family drama or palace drama. How have you survived until now?

Xi Que must be playing this game without any brains, so Ji Fengyao glanced at Bai Lu.

Unexpectedly, Bailu understood the bond between master and servant in less than a day.

Hearing Bai Lu chuckle, she covered her mouth and said in a sweet voice, "Third Madam, you've openly offended the First Madam. So, doesn't that mean you're also..."

Mi Jiang'er was stunned. Yes, she had openly offended Bai Rumei.

What should we do? Could she also be possessed by an evil spirit?

After glancing nervously left and right a few times, Mi Jiang'er felt a chill run down her spine. She moved closer to Chanyu Heye, and as if remembering something, she took out a sachet from her bosom and said with a superior expression, "This is a sachet bestowed by the Emperor. It contains the aura of a true dragon, and evil spirits dare not approach it. This concubine has nothing to fear!"

The aura of a true dragon?

I even have an aura of dominance!

Ji Fengyao was almost driven crazy by these bored women who spent all their time bickering.

Unable to suppress a smile, Ji Fengyao got up and picked a few flowers from the flowerbed. She gave one to each of Bai Rumei, Mi Jiang'er, and Shanyu Heye, said some polite words about how they were all sisters and should live in harmony, and then told everyone to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

"Miss, the show has only just begun, why are you just giving each person a flower to send them away?"

Xi Que was puzzled. She had just prepared to move a small stool, crack some melon seeds, and watch the show when Ji Fengyao called for her to leave before she could even take out the melon seeds.

Ji Fengyao turned around and smiled at her, winked, then rolled her eyes and fell against her.

"Miss, Miss!"

The magpie was so startled that it dropped the flowers it was holding. It quickly caught her, picked her up, and ran towards the inner courtyard.

Bai Lu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She ran all the way, shouting, "Quickly, go and fetch a doctor! Go and fetch the prince!"

"What's going on?!"

Black Owl suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leaping to block the way for Magpie and peering into her arms at Ji Fengyao.

"Miss suddenly fainted. It must have been that damned prince who beat her this morning. She has a huge bump on the back of her head," Xi Que said, her eyes reddening with regret. "I was even thinking this morning not to help Miss bully the young master, afraid of driving him away. Who would have thought he would be so ruthless? When he comes again, I'll definitely skin him alive!"
