Feng Qiongzhu snorted and said, "You only know one side of the story. Li Mei'er was originally brought back from the temple by Feng Tingjing, who intended to take her as a concubine. Unfortunately, her beauty was too stunning, and she attracted the emperor's covetousness. Feng Tingjing had no choice but to present Li Mei'er to the emperor and let the old lady take her as his adopted daughter. Now he loves Li Mei'er but cannot get her, and he is depressed all day long."

Bai Chanyi was shocked when she heard that Li Meir was favored by the emperor.

Although she was of humble status, she knew what it meant to Feng Tingjing that Li Meir was favored by the emperor.

She couldn't help but wonder, what was Feng Qiongzhu's intention in telling her these secrets?

She tried to stay calm and waited quietly for Feng Qiongzhu's next words.

"Do you know why Li Meir has become so beautiful?" Feng Qiongzhu's voice was full of mystery. "That's because she took the pills I made specially. The medicine has magical effects, which can nourish the skin and make women glow with amazing charm. Li Meir has become crazy about all men, including Feng Tingjing, because of it."

Feng Qiongzhu approached Bai Chanyi and gently pinched her chin with her fair fingers. "I heard that you once had a child. That was your only hope in this life. You thought you could rely on this child to gain a foothold in the Feng Mansion. Unfortunately, you had a miscarriage due to the scheme of that vicious woman Lu Minjing. Are you willing? Are you willing to endure her bullying every day in this shabby courtyard?"

Bai Chanyi's body trembled slightly. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let her tears fall.

That child is the eternal pain in her heart.

She hated Lu Minjing, and hated herself even more for being powerless.

Seeing this, Feng Qiongzhu continued to seduce, "Everything Lu Minjing has now was given by Feng Tingjing. As long as you are willing, as long as you can win Feng Tingjing's favor, then everything she has will become yours."

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Bai Chanyi's eyes.

She remembered the lost child and Lu Minjing's smug smile.

She hated it so much that she wanted to tear Lu Minjing into pieces.

Bai Chanyi's mind was clear at this moment. She finally understood the eldest lady's intention, which was to join forces with her to deal with Lu Minjing.

Both of them have grudges against Lu Minjing, so why don't they join forces?

This was her only chance, and a strong fire of revenge surged in Bai Chanyi's heart.

"Okay, I promise you." Bai Chanyi finally spoke, "I will make Lu Minjing pay the price she deserves, and I will take back everything that belongs to Lu Minjing."

Feng Qiongzhu nodded with satisfaction. She walked to the table and gently put down the small porcelain bottle containing the pills.

Facing the last rays of the setting sun, she said slowly, "The pill in the porcelain bottle is called Drunken Beauty. If you take it, you will be able to break out of your cocoon and become a butterfly. But you have to do it as soon as possible. I don't have much time."

Bai Chanyi stretched out her hand and tightly grasped the small porcelain bottle.

"I will," she whispered.

She knew she was about to embark on a path full of challenges and dangers, but she was ready.

……

The night was as dark as ink, gradually swallowing up the last ray of afterglow, and the entire Feng Mansion compound was filled with restlessness in the dark.

Yun Kaizhou received an urgent message from the guards, and learned that Feng Qiongzhu planned to move all of her biological mother's dowry away tonight.

He decided to personally lead the guards of Prince Duan's Mansion to Feng Mansion to help Feng Qiongzhu.

He knew that there were secret guards sent by the palace lurking everywhere inside and outside the Feng Mansion, so this operation had to be cautious and swift, and no one could be noticed.

So, he discussed with An Qing and carefully planned an action.

He sent out a group of elite guards to cleverly lure away the government officials who were secretly monitoring Feng Mansion.

At the same time, he asked An Qing to find several agile stand-ins to play himself in order to lure away the hidden guards of the palace.

In this way, the obstacles to their actions were removed one by one.

Yun Kaizhou himself changed into a black tights and nimbly climbed over the wall into Feng Qiongzhu's yard.

He didn't have time to have a good reunion with Feng Qiongzhu, even though the longing he had felt for her for many days burst out at this moment.

But he suppressed his feelings, knowing that this was not the time to be sentimental.

After saying hello to Feng Qiongzhu, Yun Kaizhou personally commanded the guards to quietly move the dowry out of the warehouse under the cover of night and carefully load it onto the carriage.

Finally, in the darkest hour of the night, all the dowry was successfully loaded onto the carriage.

Yun Kaizhou breathed a sigh of relief and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He knew that this action not only successfully helped Feng Qiongzhu, but also put his own worries to rest.

Feng Qiongzhu stood at the door, watching the carriage slowly drive away from the Feng Mansion and disappear into the night.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing beside Feng Qiongzhu were four maids, Xuan Er, Xuan Wu, Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu, who were also her secret guards.

She looked at these people and asked, "Is it guaranteed that everyone in this mansion will be unconscious during the time when the dowry is moved away?"

Xuan Wu immediately said, "Master, don't worry. I personally put the drug into the well water. And afterward, Xuan Er went to check every courtyard to make sure that everyone was unconscious."

Feng Qiongzhu took out a packet of medicine powder and handed it to Xuan Er, "You are the best at Qinggong. Go again and sprinkle this antidote into the well water."

"Yes, master." Xuan Er immediately ran away.

"I think everyone in this house should be awake by now. If they sleep for too long, they might be exposed."

"Xuan Yi, have you come into the mansion to help clear the traces today?"

At this time, Xuan Yi jumped down from the beam and reported: "Master, the traces in the warehouse have been cleaned up, and I have also cleared all the footprints left by the guards in the mansion when they moved the boxes."

Feng Qiongzhu's face was solemn, and the people around her also felt a hint of tension in the atmosphere. They held their breath and waited for Feng Qiongzhu's next instruction.

Feng Qiongzhu whispered, "You guys must pay attention to the movements in the mansion. Once you notice that the people in the mansion are about to wake up, Qianshan, you must quickly go to the storehouse and set it on fire. Remember, the fire needs to be big, but it must be controlled and not spread to other places. Make some big noise so that the hidden guards outside the mansion can take the opportunity to disguise themselves as thieves and create the illusion that the storehouse has been robbed."

At this moment, Feng Qiongzhu caught a hint of awakening with her keen hearing.

She immediately waved her hand and everyone quickly dispersed.

Xuan Wu then pulled the flare in his hand, and the hidden guards pretending to be thieves outside the mansion saw this and immediately took action.

A group of masked people drove a horse-drawn carriage and left Feng Mansion with great fanfare. The old night watchman was frightened and panicked in the dark.

At the same time, a fire suddenly shot up into the sky somewhere in Feng Mansion, and the entire mansion was instantly brightly lit.

Everyone exclaimed: "The water is flowing!"
