"Does she demand all of Yan Aoyun's dowry as stated in the bet?" the Second Lady asked.
"She demands that all of Yan Aoyun's dowry be handed over within three days, and other items like silver notes be given in two hours." A fierce killing intent flashed in Feng Pingqiu's eyes. "For now, we'll meet her demands. Once I figure out a solution, I'll make her spit out everything she's taken."
The Second Lady frowned, extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement.
But since Feng Pingqiu had said so, and she couldn't think of a better solution for the time being.
It was just that Feng Yuqin had caught them off guard.
Regarding the previous bet, both the Second Lady and Feng Pingqiu had thought they were bound to win, so they never even considered handing over Yan Aoyun's dowry.
Originally, they had planned that Feng Yuqin and her mother were sure to lose. Then Feng Pingqiu could rightfully divorce Yan Aoyun and drive them out.
However, Ji Wenjie was beheaded. Before his death, he even dragged the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Ji Family into trouble.
In a fit of anger, Feng Pingqiu and the Ji Family had intended to kill Feng Yuqin. Once Feng Yuqin was dead, Yan Aoyun would pose no threat at all.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yuqin not only didn't die but returned safely.
Not only that, she also demanded Yan Aoyun's dowry.
Moreover, at this moment, they had no idea what consequences would follow after losing Yan Aoyun's dowry.
When Xiaoying asked, Feng Yuqin didn't say anything. She just said it would be a surprise.
It wasn't until they reached that point that the Second Lady and the others realized they had been badly tricked by Feng Yuqin.
...
Before Feng Yuqin reached the courtyard, she saw a figure in dark purple standing outside.
She quickened her pace, and her delicate voice rang out. "Mother, I'm back."
So this was what it felt like to have someone waiting for you at home.
In her previous life, she had lived for more than twenty years but had never experienced this.
"Although Lv'e and the others told me that you wouldn't lose the bet with the Second Lady and the others, I was still uneasy when you didn't come back." Yan Aoyun also stepped forward. When she took Feng Yuqin's hand, her hanging heart finally settled.
"I made Mother worry." A hint of apology flashed in Feng Yuqin's eyes.
"Are you injured?" Yan Aoyun suddenly asked.
Although she didn't see any blood on Feng Yuqin's body, she keenly smelled a faint scent of blood.
"No." Feng Yuqin didn't want to tell her mother about the assassination and worry her. "I just went to the execution ground. Maybe I got the smell because I was too close."
Yan Aoyun looked Feng Yuqin up and down. After confirming that she was really uninjured, she said, "Did you go to your maternal grandparents' house today?"
Feng Yuqin shook her head. "I had something to do today and didn't have time. I'll go tomorrow."
"Okay. You've been running around all day. Go and rest quickly." Yan Aoyun said with concern.
Feng Yuqin was really a bit tired today.
The main reason was that the original owner's constitution was not very good. So after today's activities, she felt that this constitution was far worse than that of her previous life.
When Feng Yuqin returned to her room, Lin Xuan had already prepared bath water for her.
She took a comfortable bath and returned to the room, thinking about the next arrangements.
Before she could figure it out clearly, Lin Xuan's anxious voice came from outside. "My lady, are you asleep? Something has happened to the madam."
Feng Yuqin frowned slightly, got out of the bed, picked up her outer robe, put it on, and asked, "What happened?"
"According to Xiahe, the Second Lady sent some silver over an incense stick's time ago. When the Second Miss found out, she came here to ask the madam for the silver." Lin Xuan said.
A cold look flashed in Feng Yuqin's eyes. This Feng Qing really didn't know when to stop.
Feng Yuqin had been too busy to deal with her, but she just had to come looking for trouble.
Thinking of this, Feng Yuqin quickened her pace.
The distance between the two yards wasn't very far. When Feng Yuqin arrived, she heard Feng Qing's shouting. "If you don't hand over the silver today, don't blame me for being rude."
"How do you plan to be rude?" Feng Yuqin's cold voice rang out.
She was in a very bad mood at the moment.
She had planned to go to bed early tonight because she was not feeling well.
But then Feng Qing started causing trouble again.
Hearing Feng Yuqin's voice, Feng Qing subconsciously turned around and saw Feng Yuqin walking in with a cold expression.
"Feng Yuqin, I don't know what you did to make my mother send the silver from the treasury here. If you're smart, tell your mother to hand over the silver. I'm going to the auction house tomorrow night. Now that my mother has given all the silver to you, I don't even have the money to go to the auction." Feng Qing said angrily to Feng Yuqin.
"What does it matter to us that you don't have money to go to the auction house?" Feng Yuqin said mockingly. "Don't you know that the silver the Second Lady sent tonight is my mother's dowry?"
Yan Aoyun also said coldly, "That's right. I just told you that those silver coins originally belonged to me and have nothing to do with you. If you don't have money, go ask your mother. Don't come to my yard and cause trouble. Otherwise, if word gets out, outsiders will say you have no manners."
"Who are you saying has no manners?" Feng Qing was scolded and pointed at Yan Aoyun.
Snap!
"Ah..." Feng Qing let out a shrill scream.
Feng Yuqin looked coldly at Feng Qing and said, "I told you before that if you don't want your fingers, feel free to point at me and my mother. I don't mind breaking the fingers you don't want."
Everyone around gasped when they saw the severed finger on the ground.
It was said that the fingers were connected to the heart. Feng Qing's finger had been broken off by Feng Yuqin.
She was a noble young lady, and most of her strength at the fifth level of the Soul Master was achieved by taking pills. She had never suffered any hardships.
It was imaginable that this was the first time Feng Qing had endured the pain of a broken finger.
Lv'e and the others thought their mistress was so domineering.
But the maids beside Feng Qing thought Feng Yuqin was too cruel.
"Feng Yuqin, I'm going to kill you." Feng Qing shouted hysterically at the guards behind her. "What are you standing there for? Cut off Feng Yuqin's fingers. All ten of them. I want all ten of her fingers."
The guards received the order and rushed towards Yan Aoyun and the others in a swarm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before the guards could get close, Feng Yuqin's soul power hit them directly.
The next moment, Feng Qing watched in horror as the guards she had brought were sent flying. Two of them even lost their lives.
Those two who had lost their lives had beaten Yan Aoyun and her daughter before, so Feng Yuqin showed no mercy.
"Feng Yuqin, you're looking for death. How dare you kill my people." Feng Qing roared with a twisted expression.
Feng Yuqin sneered. "I can even break your finger. Do you think I'll let go of these guards who once bullied me? Do you really think I'm a saint?"
