The Hundred Flowers Festival became more and more lively, with visitors coming in an endless stream. The distinguished guests left one by one.

King Jinzhou was in high spirits when he left. I heard that he had negotiated several big deals.

Ji Ying and the girls from the Lu Residence will stay for a few more days. She herself doesn't want to go back, and she can sleep well outside.

Jiang Xue Ning also relaxed for a rare moment, and took people to the hillside to appreciate the flowers. Ji Ying came over enthusiastically and naturally, "Your Highness, you are stealing a half day of leisure from your busy life."

"Madam Four, please take a seat."

A young girl followed her. It was the spoiled Miss Lu Wu. She greeted reluctantly, "Meet the prince."

Jiang Xue Ning nodded in agreement, too lazy to argue with a little girl.

As the few people were talking, Jiang Xue Ning felt a little drowsy in the spring sunshine.

Bai Yu was hiding in the pear tree, but suddenly flew down, "Here I come!"

Jiang Xue Ning opened her eyes and stood up.

Seeing her expression, Ji Ying stood up curiously and asked, "Your Majesty, are you waiting for someone?"

"Waiting for an old friend!"

At the corner where the pear and peach trees intersect, two men walked out. One was black and the other was white. The man in white was elegant and graceful, with a clear breeze and bright moon. However, his eyebrows and eyes were a little distant. The man in white had a few strands of white hair in his black hair, sharp eyes and heroic eyebrows, and a face as white as jade, with a bit of vicissitudes in his eyes.

Ji Ying said "tsk tsk" twice, "He's so handsome, I'm so lucky to see him today."

Miss Lu Wu, who was originally very impatient, stared at him, especially the one in black, who had a very special temperament...

The one in white is Xue Yujing, and the one in black is Duan Xilou.

After Duan Xilou was rescued from prison, Jiang Xuening sent him to be treated. He was sent to the Ghost Bone Divine Doctor. More than three months had passed, and Xue Yujing went to pick him up.

She was very pleased to see the two people slowly approaching her, and she felt that he had finally regained some of the elegance of the jade-faced general of the past.

The two men walked over and stopped at the foot of the hill.

Duan Xilou raised his head and looked at her, a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, I'm back."

Jiang Xuening tilted her head, "The Jade-faced General is still as elegant as ever..."

"Eh..." Ji Ying exclaimed, "It turned out to be the Jade-faced General Duan Xilou..."

The once famous general was said to have died tragically in Shengjing. Unexpectedly, he appeared here many years later.

Miss Lu Wu tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and accidentally met the man's deep eyes. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Haha, I'm glad you came back safely." Jiang Xue Ning said happily, "I've prepared a welcome drink for you."

A group of people happily went to Baihua Tower, ready to not return until they were drunk.

Ji Ying understood the situation and didn't follow him, continuing to enjoy the breeze on the hillside.

Miss Lu Wu couldn't help her curiosity after all, "Aunt knows him?"

"The Jade-faced General was the dream lover of thousands of girls...but when he became famous, you were still young..."

Miss Lu Wu pestered her and told her a lot of things about Duanxi Building, but Ji Ying just thought she was curious and did not see through her girlish thoughts.

In Baihua Tower, everyone was chatting and drinking, and the atmosphere was lively.

Jiang Xue Ning drank cup after cup. She was really happy that Duan Xilou could get better.

At the end, everyone was drunk and went their separate ways. Qinghe also helped her back to her room to sleep.

When I woke up, it was dark.

She had a splitting headache and drank a bowl of hangover soup. "Qinghe, come with me for a walk."

Then he said to Bai Yu, "Go and inform the Fourth Madam. I'll be waiting for her on the hillside behind."

Bai Yu's figure quickly disappeared into the night. Jiang Xue Ning picked up the flowerpot on the windowsill. There were two fiery red flowers in the small pot, bright and gorgeous.

This is a good thing that Baihuaying gave her after they had a secret talk.

Baihua Shadow, the owner of Baihua Valley, is indeed the one who knows the most about flowers. She just tried to ask, but she didn't expect that she really had this thing.

Jiang Xue Ning went for a walk holding a pot of flowers. The area where they lived was quiet to begin with, and it was even quieter at night.

She climbed to the middle of the mountain and stopped under a pear tree. Before long, Ji Ying arrived with her trusted maid.

Ji Ying said with some excitement and anticipation, "My Lord, I'm here."

"Is she beautiful?"

Under the moonlight, the thumb-sized red flowers in the small flowerpot she held were flying freely, warmly, brightly and flamboyantly.

Ji Ying stared at it for a while and said, "It's beautiful. It's dazzlingly beautiful."

Jiang Xue Ning smiled slightly, "Has the Fourth Madam ever heard the saying, the more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is!"

Ji Ying opened her eyes wide, and asked with a trembling voice, "What does the prince mean?"

"This flower, also known as the Love Flower, is colorless and tasteless, and its thorns and juice are extremely poisonous. It can cause hallucinations and cause heart palpitations and death. This is a rare flower from the Western Regions, and it is rarely seen."

Ji Ying's mind raced, "If I use her to poison Lu Si, will the doctor be unable to find out?"

"People who are not familiar with this kind of flower will not think of it as a love flower, and will only diagnose it as death from palpitations." Jiang Xue Ning gently gave him advice, "Doesn't Fourth Master Lu like to abuse you and have a big show? Provoke him and make him crazy."

"That's it. You will suffer a little. If you play too hard, your heart will not be able to bear the stimulation and die of palpitations. I think the Lu family is too embarrassed to announce the real cause of death to the public, and they are even less embarrassed to blame their daughter-in-law who was abused and dying."

Families like the Lu family are very concerned about their reputation, and this kind of thing is considered a scandal. As long as the real cause of death cannot be found, they will just bury the person decently. For the sake of face, they will also treat her, the widow of her deceased husband, well.

"This is a good idea. Not only can I kill him, but I can also protect myself to the greatest extent possible." Ji Ying said with hatred, "Many times I wanted to stab him to death, but I can't afford the consequences. I have a family."

Jiang Xue Ning handed her the small pot of love flowers and said, "After being the fourth lady for several years, it shouldn't be difficult for you to secretly bring this pot of flowers back to the mansion."

Ji Ying carefully took the flowers and suppressed her excitement, "I will return home tomorrow."

"I'm waiting for your good news, but you want to leave the Lu family. Maybe you need to find another suitable opportunity."

Ji Ying said softly, "It doesn't matter. As long as that devil dies, my life will be much easier. I can wait for the right time."

As for the method of irritating him, it couldn't be simpler.

Ji Ying returned to her room and hid the flowers. She allowed Meng Jiuan to touch her, and also allowed him to deliberately leave some obvious traces.

Because Lu Si is a loser, he is particularly sensitive about this aspect and he is very concerned about his reputation.

He clearly suspected her, and had no choice but to torture her to death. But he kept quiet about it, probably because of his pride, and fear of being laughed at and looked down upon.

It is also because of this that no one in the Lu family doubts her innocence.

When everything was over, Meng Jiuan asked worriedly, "Is this really okay?"

She said in a hoarse voice, "If you risk your life and suffer one last time, the nightmare will end."
