The next day, Feng Jin was leaning against the swing in the back garden, lost in thought, when Ling Zhi quietly came over and waved two letters in front of her: "Here, Miss, the housekeeper asked me to bring these to you."
These two letters were delivered by Su Yu and another person, respectively.
Feng Jin was originally immersed in a dull and tedious state, extremely bored, but when she opened one of the letters, she was surprised to find an invitation inside. The red invitation clearly showed the words "Minister of War Zhao Tingxuan"! Her pupils dilated instantly, and she was so excited that she could hardly contain herself. Her hands trembled violently as she gripped the invitation.
What a sly fellow Zhao Tingxuan! I haven't even gone to find you yet, and you've already delivered yourself to my doorstep!
Zhao Tingxuan, Lord Zhao, justice will prevail, we will meet soon!
Lingzhi carefully observed Feng Jin's suddenly abnormal expression and tentatively asked, "Does Miss recognize this Lord Zhao?"
Feng Jin's eyes turned cold, and she sneered, "Of course I recognize him. This Lord Zhao is a remarkable person. He's capable of anything for himself."
Unconsciously, the image of corpses strewn all over the General's Mansion and flames engulfing the city resurfaced in her mind. It was the most terrifying nightmare she had ever experienced. If she had been burned alive in the fire, she might not even have had the right to regret it.
Thinking of this, Feng Jin's expression grew colder and colder. She tightly gripped the bright red congratulatory invitation and tore it to shreds in an instant!
Before her eyes, a slender, solitary figure gradually receded into the distance through the thin curtain. She walked quickly forward, a surge of resentment like a howling wind immediately welling up in her heart; Zhao Tingxuan, Yue Lingwei, you two had better prepare to die, otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead and make you taste the most painful torment in the world!
The next day was the day the Zhao family celebrated the birthday of their one-month-old baby. Feng Jin and Mu Beichen went to the Zhao residence together.
As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist at dawn, the Zhao residence was bustling with activity. The gate and courtyard were crowded with people exchanging various blessings, creating a lively atmosphere of laughter and joy.
Once most of the guests had arrived, the banquet officially began. When Zhao Tingxuan and Yue Lingwei walked out together with smiles on their faces, they immediately drew enthusiastic applause from the surrounding crowd. Almost everyone present praised how well-matched Lord Zhao and Madam Zhao were, and some even said that they were a loving couple worthy of being role models.
While attending to the guests, Yue Lingwei listened to the praise and smiled from ear to ear. A little while later, the wet nurse came out carrying the child.
Just as Yue Lingwei was about to take the child, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes suddenly appeared, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became quiet.
Several exceptionally loud voices rang out from the crowd: "Oh my! Who is this young lady? Her flamboyant attire has completely stolen the spotlight from the hostess!"
"Exactly! This girl is so rude! I think she's just here to cause trouble!"
"Prince Jing, Princess Jing has arrived!" With a servant's loud announcement, Feng Jin successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Feng Jin slightly raised her almond-shaped eyes and smiled calmly at the people. Her beautiful face was so delicate that it could almost drip water if pinched lightly. She was adorned with a series of valuable ornaments from head to toe. Her hair was tied up with a hairpin, and she was dressed in a bright red brocade dress with a matching shawl draped over her shoulders, which perfectly accentuated her exquisite figure.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she walked step by step to Zhao Tingxuan and Yue Lingwei, holding a square, exquisite-looking mahogany box in her hands, and then smiled again: "Congratulations to Lord Zhao and Madam Zhao on the birth of your son. This is just a small gift."
Zhao Tingxuan was already quite frightened when he saw her incredibly familiar face, so he had no mind to accept the gift.
His face alternated between black and white, his eyes wide as he stared at Feng Jin for a long, long time, his expression of astonishment and surprise lasting for quite a while.
Yue Lingwei was also terrified by Feng Jin's face, standing there motionless as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Mu Beichen silently watched the scene before him, lost in thought. He had been suspicious of these people's unusual words and actions since the moment he entered the room.
Zhao Tingxuan stared intently at Feng Jin's suddenly changed expression, his voice trembling violently: "You...who exactly are you?"
"Lord Zhao, I am Princess Jing!" Feng Jin's tone suddenly turned gloomy, like the cold laughter of a demon.
Zhao Tingxuan glanced at Mu Beichen sitting to the side, and his racing heartbeat gradually calmed down. He turned to Feng Jin and forced a smile: "Princess Jing looks like an old friend of mine."
Feng Jin immediately replied, "Oh? I wonder who your old friend is? I'd like to see her right now."
Zhao Tingxuan's smile was even more forced than before; his expression was worse than crying. He stood there for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
From beginning to end, Yue Lingwei didn't dare to look at her even once. She just held her breath and tried her best not to give herself away. But at this point, she couldn't take it anymore. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would go crazy. So she hurriedly fled from the scene.
After watching Yue Lingwei leave, Feng Jin went straight up to Zhao Tingxuan and met his eyes: "Lord Zhao, I heard that you and your wife have been getting along very well, is that right?"
Zhao Tingxuan seemed very happy when Yue Lingwei was mentioned.
"It's alright. Ling Wei is a gentle and kind woman, and she has always taken good care of me." He nodded, indicating that he agreed with this.
