After a brief silence, Hong Ling finally couldn't help but speak:

"Aunt, Cui'er asked the master to find a doctor for the lady. Why didn't you take the opportunity to stop her? If something happened to the lady, wouldn't it be..."

Bai Chanyi gently stroked the petals of the green peony, and the petals trembled slightly between her fingers.

"This green peony is really rare."

She raised her head slightly, "Lu Minjing is still the lady of the mansion. The emperor will come to Cangzhou and stay in our mansion. And in the mansion, there is also Li Meier who may become a phoenix. The master values ​​this card more than anything else."

Hong Ling listened attentively and asked softly, "Aunt, what should we do now?"

"Madam can't be in any danger, but she can't fully recover either. We need to keep her in a state of recovery, so that we can continue to be in charge of the power of the mansion."

The news that Lu Minjing was seriously ill and vomiting blood had reached the ears of the old lady in the backyard who never left her room all day.

She sat in the dim room and repeatedly asked the nanny beside her: "Did you hear it right? Minjing was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, and she even vomited blood today?"

The nanny nodded and confirmed, "Yes, old lady, I heard it right. Cui'er, the maidservant beside the lady, went to the front yard to ask the master to invite a doctor, but the master was not in the front yard. Cui'er had to follow the housekeeper's reminder and go to Aunt Bai's yard to find the master and invite a doctor."

The old lady slammed the table in anger.

"Mrs. Bai, this bitch! I just stopped asking about the affairs of the mansion for a short period of time, and she thinks she can really take charge of everything in the mansion?"

"Then what is the old lady going to do? The master has been in Aunt Bai's courtyard every night recently."

"Don't worry, go and tell Jing'er to ask the best doctor to treat Minjing. You must find a way to cure her."

Just as the nanny was about to turn around and leave, the old lady called her again.

"Wait, how is the whereabouts of Nanny An that I asked you to investigate going?"

"Reporting to the old lady, I have sent someone to investigate, but there is no news yet."

A cold light flashed in Old Madam Feng's eyes.

"Since we can't find the whereabouts of this bitch, why don't we send someone to go directly to her hometown in the countryside to check it out? I remember her hometown is called Stone Village."

"seems like it."

Ever since the old lady was raped by old man Ding last time, there has been no lights on in her house all year round.

It looks dark and eerie even in daytime.

At this moment, she suddenly let out a strange laugh, which made the old lady beside her feel cold all over.

This old lady's personality is changeable every day, making it hard to understand.

"Madam? Then I will arrange for someone to go to Stone Village now?"

The old lady looked at the fallen leaves in the yard and realized that autumn had arrived.

"Go, and be sure to end Old Lady An's life." She said coldly.

You can't blame her for being cruel and ruthless. It's because old lady An has been by her side for decades and knows too much.

She couldn't let those secrets leak out, otherwise the reputation of the Feng family would be in jeopardy and her son's career would be affected.

The old lady left with her legs trembling slightly.

From the moment Mrs. Feng received the news that Lu Minjing was seriously ill and vomiting blood, she knew that it was Feng Qiongzhu who did it.

Feng Tingjing had a particularly comfortable life these past few days. Although he was reluctant to part with Aunt Bai's tenderness and affection, he had to get out of her bed and discuss with the housekeeper the matters concerning welcoming the emperor's arrival in the mansion.

Eunuch Yu has already privately discussed this matter. The Emperor's visit to Cangzhou must be kept secret, and the itinerary must not be disclosed.

The butler looked worried and asked the question that had been bothering him the most:

"Master, when the emperor comes, which courtyard should we arrange for him to stay? The best courtyard in the mansion is now occupied by the eldest daughter, and Prince Duan often visits us."

Feng Tingjing glanced at the butler, with a bit of reproach in his tone:

"You old fool, don't you know why the emperor came? He came for Mei'er. Do you think the emperor came to see me? Is my reputation so important?"

The housekeeper reacted instantly and slapped himself hard on the face: "I am getting more and more confused as I get older. I will start preparing for the renovation of the Bihua Pavilion. The Bihua Pavilion is named after flowers and plants. I will buy all the rare and precious flowers and plants in Cangzhou and decorate the Bihua Pavilion."

Feng Tingjing nodded. He had been busy going to Aunt Bai's courtyard recently and seemed to have not seen Eunuch Yu for a long time. Could it be that there was something he didn't know?

"I don't seem to have seen Eunuch Yu recently?" he asked puzzledly.

The housekeeper replied, "Ever since Miss Mei'er moved in with the eldest lady, Eunuch Yu has not come to the Feng Mansion again."

Feng Tingjing looked at the old housekeeper in shock: "Mei'er went to the eldest lady's courtyard, how come I didn't know? When did the two of them get so close?"

Feng Tingjing was very afraid that Feng Qiongzhu would drag Li Meir along, and he didn't know what she was planning.

He was already exhausted by Feng Qiongzhu.

The housekeeper saw the master's worry and comforted him, "I heard that the eldest lady felt bored, so she asked Miss Mei'er to accompany her to relieve her boredom."

"Master, the eldest lady wants to see you." The servant's voice came from outside the door.

Seeing this, the housekeeper said, "Master, the young lady has been staying indoors recently because of her injury. She must have come here for something. I will take my leave first."

Feng Tingjing nodded and signaled to the servant to invite Feng Ruoyan in.

Feng Ruoyan walked into the hall and immediately bowed: "Ruoyan greets father."

Feng Tingjing looked at his daughter, whom he had doted on for many years, and now looked haggard. He felt sorry for her and raised his hand to signal her to stand up.

He asked gently, "Yan'er, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Feng Ruo looked at Feng Tingjing aggrievedly: "Father, you also know that Yan'er has a scar on her face. Today I heard that the medicine shop in Fanxing Pavilion has a scar removal cream for sale, and I heard that it is quite effective. Pavilion Master Xiao originally had a terrible scar on his face. After using this scar removal cream, his face is now white and clean, without any trace of the scar. Your daughter also wants to try it, and I beg you to agree."

Feng Tingjing thought it was a big deal, so he said directly, "Yan'er, you are the daughter of the Feng family. Why do you need to ask me for instructions for such a small matter? Just go to the account office to withdraw the money and buy it."

Feng Ruoyan said with some embarrassment, "Father, that scar removal cream is expensive, costing one thousand taels of silver per bottle, so I wanted to ask for your consent."

When Feng Tingjing heard the word one thousand taels of silver, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Recently, due to the arrival of the Emperor, the mansion has been undergoing various renovations and decorations. The money in the account has been spent like water, and his own private treasury is almost empty.

He wanted to refuse, but when he saw his daughter's tearful eyes, his heart softened.

After all, this is his daughter who was raised in the palm of his hand since childhood. How could he bear to let her down?

He gritted his teeth and said, "I agree, go ahead and buy it. As long as Yan'er's face looks better and she's happy, then father will be relieved."

"Thank you, father. I'll go now."

Feng Tingjing nodded, "Go ahead, be careful when you go out."

"I understand, father." Feng Ruoyan responded and left.
