The Initial Volume ◆ The God of Gambling Descends VS The Change of Tianyao ◆ 008 The Beginning of Revenge
Sunlight shines between pavilions and towers, green water flowers are lush, pink walls and green stones, a classic and elegant beauty. Emerald tiles and golden eaves, shining brightly, giving people a sense of solemnity and grandeur.
A slender figure, light as the wind, quickly ran through the winding corridor, with large red lanterns hanging high above, gently swaying.
The exterior is smooth and shiny, with golden decorations, delicate and exquisite. The top-grade Snow Jade Orchid, Spring Sleep Begonia, Golden Plum Welcome Spring, Snow Tower Peony, and other flowers are arranged to form the "Jade Hall Spring Rich and Noble", giving people a sense of grandeur and luxury.
Feng Mei Xue's gaze lingered on the pot of top-grade Snow Orchid, this Snow Orchid was extremely beautiful. The flower was as white as jade, with white petals that seemed to have rolled up a thousand layers of snow, and its fragrance was like orchids, delicate and intricate, overflowing with purity. Thousands of branches and countless stamens, blooming all over the ancient tree's twisted branches, were as gentle as clouds and snow, sparkling and elegant.
She remembered that it was her mother's favorite pot of flowers, which Erniang had forcibly taken away in order to complete the auspicious "Jade Hall Spring Rich and Noble" and later somehow ended up in the Yanran Building.
At that time she was powerless to resist, and with red eyes watched as the second wife left with the family slaves, chasing after her all the way, crying and begging her not to take away Mother's flower.
But what she got was just a severe beating and Second Aunt's disdainful sneer.
"A half-dead person with one foot in the coffin is still occupying this pot of flowers, what for? Why hasn't she gone to die yet!"
The sharp, piercing voice of the second aunt was like a sharp knife that stabbed into Feng Xue's small heart, making her whole person feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Even now, the memory in her mind is still clear.
Thinking of this, Feng Yuxue couldn't help but clench her teeth in anger. Did she and her mother ever live a human life before?
Just as Feng Meixue was about to sneak into the Yanran Building, she heard a series of footsteps approaching and quickly hid behind a nearby cluster of trees. Taking advantage of the lush flowers and trees to conceal herself, she quietly approached the window of the Yanran Building like a ghost.
Through the half-open red lacquer wooden lattice window, Feng Xue saw that the luxurious and majestic bedroom was actually the boudoir of Miss Feng Xiao Liu, the fifth daughter of the Feng family. The precious silk fabrics, beautiful clothes, dazzling jewelry and accessories all showcased her superior life.
At this moment, she was lying weakly on the bed, with a red and swollen patch on her white and tender arm, obviously the force of Feng Mianxue's washing board that morning was quite fierce.
"Mother, that scoundrel can't stay any longer! We might as well go all out and settle this once and for all!"
Phoenix swept willow against Phoenix's enchanting snow, her teeth ached with hatred, and in her excitement, she bumped into the wound on her arm, suddenly feeling a sharp pain that made her gasp for cold air.
Ordinarily innocent and harmless, looking the most gentle, the loveliest Miss Feng of the five sisters, now looks like a white-boned demon stripped of its disguise, revealing her truly vicious face.
"Willow, don't be impatient. Those two scoundrels won't be able to jump around for much longer! If you're going to do it, do it quietly and unnoticed, or else someone else will take advantage of the situation!"
A well-maintained middle-aged woman sat on the edge of the bed, her face full of wrinkles. She was wearing a golden and silver auspicious cloud-patterned brocade dress, with an auspicious high bun on her head, adorned with a gold hairpin, extremely luxurious.
Feng Mei Xue found the identity of this person from her memory, she was the fifth aunt of Feng Fu, had a son and a daughter, deeply favored by the old master of Feng Fu.
She has entered middle age, without a single wrinkle at the corner of her eyes, with thick makeup on her face, looking charming and enchanting, if not for the terrifying expression on her face, she would be considered a beauty.
"Feng Mei Xue that cheap woman is really lucky! Clearly she was already dead, but she still managed to come back to life! It's really infuriating!"
Feng Huai Liu tore at the handkerchief in her hand, her originally lovely face twisted in distortion.
"She's just a little yellow-haired girl, what kind of waves can she stir up? Today she dares to hurt Liu Er, tomorrow when the master returns, let's see how she'll die!"
The fifth aunt's lips curled up into a cruel smile, as if she had already seen the miserable sight of Feng Yuxue being beaten to death with family law.
"What Mother said is absolutely right! Tomorrow, let's see how Father will deal with that little scoundrel!"
Feng Hui Liu couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that her father had always disliked that mother-daughter pair, and now Feng Mei Xue was causing such a commotion, wasn't she just asking for trouble.
Two people's piercing laughter floated into Feng Yuxue's ears, and the corners of her lips also rose with a cold smile.
"Hah, want to see how I die? I'll send you on your way first!"
As for her father who was like a stranger to her, Feng Xue still didn't have much impression of him.
She had never seen him a few times since she grew up, and he was like an enemy to them, every time it was a cold face, full of hatred. The original Feng Mianxue was actually very afraid of him, seeing him couldn't help but tremble, not even daring to look at him straight in the eye.
"Ah..."
The door was pushed open, and the old doctor, carrying a medical box on his back, hurried over. Eight maidservants were waiting at the side, their faces all showing tension.
"Weren't you going to invite Dr. Xianyao? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Feng Huai Liu stretched out her hand and pinched the waist of the maid standing beside her, saying in a low voice, her face full of anger.
She had heard that the second-ranked Xianyao Shengyi on the list of national beauties had recently arrived in the imperial capital, Ziqiao. She wanted to take this opportunity to get close to him and was waiting here half-naked, but unexpectedly, the beauty did not arrive, and instead, she got an old man.
"Wu - Miss Wu, Xiao Yao Sheng Yi is in Zui Huan Lou, but I couldn't invite you!"
The personal maid of Feng Hui Liu said timidly, her eyes filled with a hint of fear as she looked at her unpredictable face. The fifth young lady had already changed dozens of maids, it was said that no maid who served her well survived, and she didn't want to become the next dead person.
"Useless thing! Quickly put down the mosquito net!"
The fifth aunt hastily drank and her face also looked a bit unsightly, waving her hand for people to put down the silk screen.
"Yes!"
The maids hastily put down the mosquito net and stood aside in trepidation.
"Doctor, please take a look at my little girl's injured arm!"
The fifth aunt squeezed out a big and dignified smile on her face, letting the old doctor walk to one side, diagnosing and treating the injury through the mosquito net.
The old doctor walked over panting, examined Feng's injuries, and began writing a prescription.
This minor injury had him rushing over with his old bones, and he was truly displeased in his heart. However, the Feng manor was wealthy and powerful, so even if he was displeased, he could only hide it in his heart.
"You all go with the doctor to get medicine! Miss is tired and needs rest, you all go out!"
The fifth aunt waved her hand, dismissed the maid, and whispered a few words in Feng's ear, making her emit a few flirtatious laughs that made Feng's scalp tingle.
Feng Mei Xue saw the crowd leave Yan Ran Lou, a smile played on her lips, she quietly walked to the door and added a lock. Then, from her sleeve, she pulled out several fire starters, with swift and precise movements, she threw them into several windows. The interior of Yan Ran Lou was filled with floating silk fabrics, extremely flammable, the flames rapidly spread.
She was very careful when she left and sealed all the windows tightly. It's not hard to push from the outside, but it's not easy to push out from the inside.
She didn't forget to visit Wu Yiniang's residence at Yanliu Building, and when she left, the jar in her hand was empty.
At Feng Hui's age, how could she have come up with such a vicious plan? How could she not see who the real mastermind is?!
"Fantastic Saint Doctor! Sounds quite impressive! Then let's invite him to treat Mother!"
Feng Mei Xue murmured to herself and with a flick of her arm, the urn fell into the water.
At this moment, a raging fire had already broken out inside the Yanran residence. That was only the beginning of their nightmare!
Feng Mei Xue walked out of the mansion, on her way she saw several batches of guards rushing towards the direction of Yan Ran Lou, and she skillfully dodged them all.
Mom's illness can't be delayed any longer!
She clearly saw the blood-stained handkerchief hidden under the pillow, which made her heart skip a beat. The guards in the mansion had all gone to put out the fire, and the situation was chaotic, making it convenient for her to slip out of the mansion.
