Farewell Flower Festival

Chaoyan listened to Furong's complaints patiently and advised her to divorce if she really couldn't live like this anymore.

Furong was stunned for a moment when she heard the word "He Li". It seemed far from the words of comfort she had imagined. So she pretended not to hear it and continued to complain.

Chao Yan didn't expect her to listen to the truth. She had finally married into the Marquis's Mansion, so how could she easily give up the wealth and glory in front of her? However, it was useless to complain to herself, and she couldn't interfere in the Marquis's Mansion's family affairs. There was obviously a ready-made big backer in the palace.

"Why don't you go find the Imperial Concubine? After all, you are now the Imperial Concubine's adopted daughter. As long as the Imperial Concubine says a word, see if that Zhao dares to treat you like this again."

Furong showed a trace of embarrassment, as if she didn't expect Chaoyan to mention Concubine Yin. "Although the Concubine has adopted me as her adopted daughter, it's not good to go to the Concubine for such a small matter."

Chaoyan was speechless, thinking that this was still a small matter. A green grassland was almost growing on his head. If she did that, she would definitely throw a divorce letter in his face and kick him out of the house.

Furong wiped her tears with a handkerchief, calmed down her emotions, picked up the teacup, scraped it, took a sip of tea, and gossiped about Chaoyan's relationship status as if nothing had happened.

"How is my sister doing recently? Is His Highness treating my sister well? When do you plan to give my sister a status?"

“……” His expression changed too quickly. . . . .

Before leaving, Furong gave Chaoyan a piece of advice, telling her to earn a reputation as soon as possible, and not wait until she was old and no one wanted her.

Chao Yan also gave her some advice, asking her to be more careful so as not to be taken over by others.

"Sister, you should worry more about your own affairs. Don't let the new guy take advantage of you before you even have a name."

After saying that, Furong raised her head and left with a bit of arrogance.

Chaoyan was speechless. She didn't know why this person came here. Was he here to show off or complain? Was he trying to gain sympathy? Was he just bored?

After Furong left, Chaoyan opened the window to ventilate the room. No one knew how much perfumed powder she had put on her body. The smell was a bit choking, which disrupted the delicate floral scent in the room.

After Amber came back, Chaoyan casually asked, "Did the person leave?" Amber nodded and told Chaoyan something with a blush. Just now, Furong secretly asked her on the way whether Chaoyan and Mu Tianling had slept in the same room. Feicui, who was standing next to her, also blushed when she heard this.

Needless to say, Chao Yan's ears were a little hot. She drank a few sips of tea and pretended to be calm, letting the two of them go about their business.

After Mu Tianling came back, Chaoyan mentioned to him that Furong had come to her to complain, saying that Zhao Huan had a private house outside to keep a mistress.

"She came here just to talk to you about this?" Mu Tianling asked casually while scraping the teacup.

Chao Yan thought for a moment, then moved her gaze to Mu Tianling's face, smiled slyly, and asked, "Does His Highness have a mistress hidden outside?"

Mu Tianling said: "I only have such a small salary, and you are always thinking about me, how can I have spare money to buy a golden house."

"A man's mouth is a liar."

"...?"

……

About half a month later, a maidservant of Furong came to the palace to look for Chaoyan. After seeing Chaoyan, the maidservant said that Furong wanted to invite her to the mansion to talk. Chaoyan asked if Zhao Huan was at home, and the maidservant replied that he had gone out.

Chaoyan was still a little worried about her personal safety. After all, the other party had bribed the eunuchs in the palace to kill her, and to be honest, her relationship with Furong was not good. Who knew if there was any trickery.

After considering it, Chao Yan declined, saying that she was not feeling well and would visit another day.

After the maid left, Chao Yan continued to study the new rouge formula.

In the afternoon, the maid came again. Furong asked her to go boating on the lake tomorrow and asked her to go there early.

Chaoyan told Mu Tianling and Eunuch Wu about this. Her intuition told her that Furong must have a secret to tell her.

After breakfast the next day, Chao Yan took Feicui out.

When we arrived at the agreed location, a small boat was already waiting on the shore.

After the two of them got on the boat, the boatman rowed to a pleasure boat in front. When he reached the side of the pleasure boat, he lowered a step. Chaoyan and Feicui boarded the pleasure boat. The maid who had delivered the message to Chaoyan led the two into the cabin.

Furong was already inside, looking restless. After seeing Chaoyan, she asked the servants to leave. Chaoyan gestured and Feicui went out first.

When there were only two of them left, Furong asked Chaoyan to sit next to her. Before she spoke, she glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then she covered her tears with her handkerchief.

Chaoyan waited patiently for her to calm down and asked, "What happened?" Furong hesitated for a few seconds and then started talking about what happened a few days ago.

In order to find out how many mistresses Zhao Huan had, Furong bribed a servant under Zhao Huan and learned from him where Zhao Huan's private residence was. While Zhao Huan was out fooling around with his friends, she took people to the private residence.

After the carriage stopped outside the house, Furong hesitated again, struggling over whether to get off. After some ideological struggle, she finally got off the carriage.

After the maid rang the doorbell, a servant came over and opened the door. He looked at the maid with a sly look and it was obvious that he was a cunning man.

After Furong revealed her identity, the servant wanted to fool her, saying that she had come to the wrong place. However, he was frightened by the guards she brought with her, so he quickly put on a servile attitude and invited her in.

After entering, the servant secretly winked at another servant, asking him to inform Zhao Huan, but Furong caught him with her sharp eyes.

Furong asked the servant to call everyone in the house over, and if there was one person missing, he would be questioned. She also asked the guards to guard the front and back exits and not allow anyone to inform the authorities.

Seeing this scene, the servant didn't dare to play any tricks. He obediently went to call all the maids and servants serving in the house. Zhao Huanzang's two concubines were among them. Furong didn't do anything to them, but just asked their names, ages and how long they had lived there.

When Chaoyan heard Furong say that he only had two mistresses, she was a little bit unconvinced. Judging from Zhao Huan's gangster nature, there must be at least seven or eight. Then when she heard Furong say that the two were only twelve or thirteen years old, Chaoyan wanted to curse. This guy Zhao Huan was simply a pervert. He could even lay his hands on such a young girl. If he were in modern times, he should be put in jail for life!

After calming down, she immediately found something suspicious. The two men had not been here long, both came two months ago, so there must have been other victims before.

Next, Furong told Chaoyan something even darker.

The two girls did not come here voluntarily. Zhao Huan used his power, coercion and inducement to buy them from their parents.

Bastard, despicable, shameless... Chaoyan cursed Zhao Huan in her heart. If he were in front of her, she would definitely let him understand the power of the kick that can cut off his offspring.

Furong didn't know what to do, and wanted Chaoyan to help her come up with an idea. Chaoyan blurted out two words, solving the problem in one go, "Castrate him."

Furong was stunned for a few seconds, not realizing what she heard. After she realized what she heard, she suspected that she had misheard.

After drinking a cup of tea, Chao Yan calmed down a little and asked Furong why she told her all this.

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Highness that robbing a woman is a serious crime?"

Furong covered her handkerchief and cried for a while, then said tearfully, "Instead of letting him make the same mistake again and again, it's better to let him suffer a little and learn a lesson, otherwise it will lead to disaster sooner or later."

These words of sacrificing one's own family for the sake of justice made Chao Yan look at her with a new respect. He didn't expect that her ideological level had improved so much in such a short period of time.
