[Why wasn't my mother surprised at all when she saw Feng Yinli's jade ring being handed over from Huanbi?]
[Also, my mother said this jade ring was a gift from Huanbi. What kind of gift is it? It's not a token of love between Feng Yinli and Zhen Cai. How can it be used to convict them? What's the point?]
[Wait, a token of love?]
Feng Wanwan suddenly opened her small palm, her eyes fixed on the warm jade ring in her hand, and an idea grew wildly in her mind.
[Could Feng Yinli have already run into Zhen Qia? Could this thing be evidence that Feng Yinli was trapped in Sui Yuxuan?]
Zhen Cai treated Huan Bi so badly, first scratching her face and then breaking her leg. I'm afraid the little sisterly love Huan Bi had in her heart had long been beaten away. So she sent this jade ring to her as irrefutable evidence that could kill Zhen Cai!
[This is surrender, so my mother said that she will definitely return to me in the future.]
She tried to raise her little neck to look at Concubine Hua.
Concubine Hua still had that indifferent smile on her lips. She looked calm and relaxed, like a trader who was in control of the overall situation.
[And my mother actually knew that Zhen Cai and Feng Yinli were hooking up! So she wasn't surprised at all when she saw this jade ring.]
I originally thought my mother was using Huanbi to monitor Zhencha's every move and guard against this woman. Unexpectedly, my mother had already been monitoring Zhencha. She already knew about Feng Yinli and Zhencha's affair and was just waiting for a witness.
【Huan Bi is the witness she is looking for.】
[My mother...is not the beautiful, brainless, and violent Rose described in the original book. She is clearly the brave, resourceful, and beautiful Peony. Even I, the baby, didn't expect such scheming.]
Feng Wanwan's emotions surged in waves.
This made Concubine Hua laugh uncontrollably: If you hadn't predicted it in advance, I, your mother, wouldn't have been able to take such a thorough step. This is clearly the joint effort of both of us.
She handed Feng Wanwan to the wet nurse to feed and take care of her, then told Suzhi to invite Concubine Jing over.
Not long after, Concubine Jing arrived as expected. Feng Wanwan had just finished her meal, so Concubine Hua carried Feng Wanwan in her arms and rode with Concubine Jing to the Suiyu Pavilion.
In the Suiyu Pavilion.
Zhen Cai was lying lazily on the bed, holding a men's robe in her arms. She closed her eyes and imagined that the man was still by her side, holding her in his arms and coaxing her with a gentle voice.
Since that day, Feng Yinli never came again. She thought about that man every day, but she could never see him or get any letter from him.
Her heart went from anger to anxiety, and now to pitiful hope.
When will we hear from that man again?
At this moment, a eunuch's voice was heard from far away outside.
"The Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Jing have arrived."
The voice made Zhen Qia frown. She slowly opened her eyes, with confusion and doubt in her eyes.
Did she hear it wrong? Who is coming?
Liu Zhu rushed in like a gust of wind from outside and shouted anxiously.
"My lady, please get up quickly. The Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Jing have suddenly arrived."
"Are they really here? What are they doing in my Shattered Jade Pavilion?"
Only then did Zhen Qia realize that she had heard correctly, but her brows furrowed even more.
"I've already paid a large sum of money to have Imperial Physician Lin report my illness. I've been recuperating in Suiyuxuan for some time now. The palace's affairs naturally have nothing to do with me. Why did they suddenly come?"
"My lady, I don't know the reason behind this, but they are already outside the second gate. Please let me help you dress and put on your makeup, otherwise you will be scolded by the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Jing for being disrespectful."
Liu Zhu was in a panic. He snatched the men's robe from Zhen Qia's arms and stuffed it into the closet, then pulled Zhen Qia to comb her hair.
Zhen Qia frowned, pushed Liu Zhu away and cursed.
"What are you panicking about?"
He didn't care at all that his hair was disheveled and he wasn't even wearing an outer robe. He just walked straight to the door of the hall and squatted down to salute.
At this moment, Concubine Hua, holding Feng Wanwan, and Concubine Jing had already walked into the inner courtyard.
From a distance, I saw a woman in plain clothes and a palace maid waiting at the door.
"Your servant, Suiyu Xuanfang, has promised Zhenca to pay her respects to the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Jing."
[Zhen Cai? This woman with no coat and uncombed hair is actually Zhen Cai?]
[Why is there such a huge difference from what I saw during the audition that day? ]
[Although she wasn't very pretty during the talent show, she at least looked energetic and had a certain cleverness to her.]
How come I haven't seen her for only half a month, but this woman looks like she's aged ten years, haggard and worn.
If she hadn't claimed to be Zhen Cai, I would have thought she was a concubine from the cold palace who had come to the Sui Yu Xuan.
As soon as Feng Wanwan saw Zhen Qia, her eyes widened and she started complaining.
In fact, her words were not exaggerated.
Zhen Qia has been suffering from lovesickness these days. She feels her heart is getting colder and colder, which is no different from being banished to the cold palace.
So she had no appetite, let alone dressing up, and she looked haggard and much older.
Concubine Hua, however, showed great concern. She took a few quick steps and asked Zhen Qia to get up.
"Hurry up and get up, kid! Even though summer is almost here, it's still chilly. You're sick, so why aren't you wearing any coat?
You must be Liu Zhu, so hurry up and help your young master up."
As expected, Liu Zhu immediately helped Zhen Cai up. Several people entered the house, quietly brought up tea, and served it carefully.
