C13 (1/2)

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the General's Estate received the Emperor's imperial edict: ”The Emperor has been delivered by the heavens. The Empress and I have grown rather fond of each other. We have hereby bestowed the title of Fourth Prince's Consort with a single jade pendant.

”Thank you, your majesty.” The people of the Qin Clan saluted. As the imperial edict was delivered by Qin Yi, their faces were filled with unconcealable joy. Although the crown prince and empress didn't have any chances now, Qin Feng had him tie up the Fourth Prince. Fourth Prince was also a popular person in front of the emperor now, so Qin Yi thought like this as he looked at Qin Feng with eyes full of gentleness.

Looking at the calm Qin Feng, Qin Wu's eyes were filled with jealousy. Why?

Qin Feng received the jade from her father-in-law. The jade was warm to the touch and crystal clear, at a glance, it was high quality jade. Qin Feng casually put the jade pendant on her waist.

Looking at the beautiful jade in Qin Feng's hand, Qin Wu's eyes darkened, such a good item, in the hands of a person like Qin Feng who did not know how to appreciate it, was simply too wasteful. Since it's Qin Feng …

Since she did not know how to cherish them, let's just give them to her. The position of Fourth Prince's Consort should belong to her anyway.

Qin Feng felt Qin Wu's hostile gaze and frowned. She glanced at Qin Wu and accidentally saw the deep gaze in her eyes. Qin Feng laughed sarcastically, it seemed like Qin Wu had not suffered enough.

After sending off her father-in-law, Qin Feng returned to her room, took off the jade pendant on her waist, and gently caressed it twice. From the very beginning, Qin Wu's line of sight had always been on this piece of jade. What plans did Qin Wu have for her to steal her jade? Then let's see if she, Qin Wu, has the capability to do so.

Qin Feng curled her lips, placed the jade into her dressing box, and left the room.

Not long after Qin Feng left, Qin Wu quietly entered Qin Feng's room. She rummaged through the boxes in Qin Feng's room and finally found the jade pendant from Qin Feng's dressing box. Qin Wu was overjoyed, and hastily stuffed it into her sleeves.

”What is little sister doing?” Just as Qin Wu finished packing up and was about to leave, Qin Feng appeared. She lazily leaned on the door and the corner of her mouth hooked up into a smile that was not a smile as she looked at Qin Wu.

”No, nothing.” Qin Wu was panicking for a moment, but she quickly covered it up, ”Sister came to look for me, but sister was not here, so Sister is preparing to go back now.”

”I wonder why little sister is looking for me?” Qin Feng asked.

”Sister came to congratulate sister on becoming the Fourth Prince's Consort.” Qin Wu said, ”To have such honor, I am truly blessed by many generations of my sister.”

Sister, you're too kind.” Qin Feng's eyes were fixed on Qin Wu. Her piercing gaze made Qin Wu feel as if her entire being was exposed to Qin Wu, leaving her with no place to hide.

”Sister, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first.” Not daring to meet Qin Feng's gaze, Qin Wu lowered her head and prepared to leave Qin Feng.

”Little sister, you've finished talking. Big sister still has something to say.” When he was rubbing shoulders with Qin Feng, Qin Feng said indifferently.

”How may I help you, sister?” Qin Wu asked.

”I only want to tell you, don't try to get your hands on things that don't belong to you. Otherwise, you will die miserably.” Qin Feng said coldly, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally looking at Qin Wu's sleeves.

Qin Wu subconsciously pulled up her sleeves, and replied: ”The lesson that big sister taught is, mother is still looking for me, so little sister will be leaving first.” After she finished speaking, she ran out of Qin Feng's room without looking back.

Looking at the backup Qin Wu was about to leave in a hurry, Qin Feng's implementation became dimmer. She went back to her own and sat in her seat. She opened her dressing box and found that the jade pendant was no longer in it. Qin Feng smiled playfully: ”Qin Wu, you brought this upon yourself. From now on, don't blame me.”

Closing the dressing case, Qin Wu threw it into the quibbling charcoal bowl. The wooden dressing box quickly turned into ashes.

A few days later, news came from the Qin Residence that the Qin Residence's Second Miss had contracted a strange disease. Qin Wu didn't know what was going on, but she felt that his entire body was itchy and couldn't stand it. Countless rashes appeared on her face, making him look extremely terrifying. Qin Wu was itching to death, but she did not dare scratch her beauty, as her temper was getting worse with each passing day. Lin Ru had invited many doctors over, but none of them were able to cure Qin Wu. In the end, they still begged Qin Yi and invited a famous imperial physician in the palace to show him.

Once the juice of this kind of grass was touched by someone, it would cause a situation like Qin Wu's. If the person was unable to treat it within four days, then the person's skin would gradually fester from the face. Although it was not difficult to cure, it would leave behind an eternal scar.

When Qin Wu heard this, he was both afraid and angry. If you were to say that she touched something she should not have touched, that would be Qin Feng's jade pendant. She did not expect Qin Feng to be so vicious, wanting to kill her. Qin Wu told Lin Ru about this matter and after the two of them discussed it, they finally had a way to teach Qin Feng a lesson.

”Master, you have to uphold justice for Wu'er!” Lin Ru kneeled down in front of Qin Yi, her face full of tears, looking very pitiful. Lin Ru had a weak look to him, now that she was crying, it made people's hearts tremble.

”What's wrong?” Qin Yi's heart softened as he immediately supported Lin Ru up, and asked, ”Quickly get up, tell me, what exactly happened?”

”Our dance was almost killed by others. ”Master, do you know that someone intentionally placed the Seven Star Grass beside Wu'er so that Wu'er would unknowingly be poisoned?” Lin Ru cried very sorrowfully, ”If it wasn't for the old master's invitation to the imperial physicians, I'm afraid, Wu'er …”

”What!” Qin Yi stared angrily, and unconsciously raised his voice, ”Who dares to be so bold!”

”Something like 'Seven Stars Grass' is extremely rare. It is impossible for servants to have it. I have asked Wu'er, these few days, Wu'er only visited her elder sister a few days ago. ”Feng Er is such a gentle and kind person, of course she wouldn't do such a thing. There must be someone who wants to sow discord and deliberately let Wu'er, after seeing Feng Er, be poisoned. Old Master, you must redress the grievances of your two daughters!”

If Lin Ru had mentioned Qin Feng at the beginning, Qin Yi would definitely have doubted him. But now that she said such words and cried so bitterly, Qin Yi was actually a little suspicious of Qin Feng. She immediately followed Lin Ru to Qin Feng's courtyard.

Before Qin Yi could knock on the door, the sounds of an argument came from Qin Feng's room.

”Sister, I beg of you, please let my sister go.” ”Little Sister has offended Big Sister in some way, to the point where Big Sister actually wants to use the 'Seven Star Grass' to kill Little Sister. There are many things wrong with your little sister. She's your little sister, your father's little sister, your big sister. How could you be so cruel?! ”

”Bastard!” Hearing that, Qin Yi's heart was filled with rage, without saying a word, he kicked open Qin Feng's door.
