After making the arrangements, Feng Yuqin left the courtyard.
She hadn't gone far when she encountered many servants and maids in the mansion.
Previously, these servants and maids hadn't been very friendly to Feng Yuqin. After the incident of the poison this time, they became even less so.
"Pah! I really don't know how she has the nerve to stroll around in this courtyard," a maid said venomously in the direction where Feng Yuqin was.
"Right! She's so vicious, poisoning so many people. Because of that, it's inconvenient for us to come and go with the families of the people outside who are watching," said another maid who was in charge of small purchases and could occasionally get some small benefits for her good bargaining skills.
Now, due to Feng Yuqin, she couldn't earn any extra money. She hated Feng Yuqin to the core.
"I heard that her mother wasn't a good person either. No wonder she taught such a vicious daughter," one of them sneered.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Four consecutive slaps resounded. The maid who had slandered Yan Aoyun was directly beaten with a swollen eye and blood oozing from her mouth.
With the last slap, Feng Yuqin used a clever force and sent the maid flying.
The others around looked at Feng Yuqin at this moment as if they were looking at a fiend.
The cold and furious aura emanating from her made these maids subconsciously take a few steps back, with a flicker of panic in their eyes.
A cold glint flashed across Feng Yuqin's eyes, and her voice was as cold as that of a demon: "It's okay for you to gossip about me on a daily basis. After all, I care the least about other people's gossip. So I didn't bother with you when I heard your remarks before. But the last thing you should do is slander my mother."
Hearing this, the maids trembled, backing away in trepidation.
"If I hear you slandering my mother again..." Feng Yuqin paused for a moment, pointing at the maid she had just sent flying, "She will be your end."
After setting an example, Feng Yuqin turned around and left. The maids were so frightened by this scene that they were trembling and couldn't utter a single word.
Even the maid who had been sent flying wasn't helped up by anyone. They were all afraid that Feng Yuqin might suddenly come back and see them helping the maid and get implicated.
It wasn't until they could no longer see Feng Yuqin's figure that a bolder maid finally voiced a question: "The direction she just left in, isn't it the courtyard of the third young miss?"
The others gradually came to their senses and asked in confusion, "What is she going to the third young miss's courtyard for?"
"I... I don't dare to think about what she's going to do in the third young miss's courtyard now. All I can think about is the scene of her beating someone just now. It was so... so terrifying. The aura around the eldest young miss just now was... much scarier than when the prime minister and the second madam were angry," a maid hugged her trembling body and stammered.
"Yes, I don't know why the eldest young miss suddenly exuded such a terrifying aura." Just thinking about that scene made the maids feel terrified. But they didn't dare to care about the injured maid.
In the end, none of them dared to discuss why Feng Yuqin was going to Feng Yao's courtyard. They simply left the injured maid behind and fled the scene.
If it weren't for the guards on patrol who found the maid, she might have died on the spot.
...
"Third young miss, Feng Yuqin is coming," a maid saw Feng Yuqin walking towards their courtyard and rushed to report to Feng Yao in a hurry.
"What? Who did you say is coming?" Feng Yao suddenly stood up and grabbed the maid's collar with one hand.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" The maid was choked until her face turned red and her neck thick.
Seeing this, Feng Yao immediately let go and asked, "Who did you just say is coming?"
She thought she must be hallucinating. How could Feng Yuqin possibly come to her courtyard?
"I'm here," Feng Yuqin's cold and indifferent voice sounded.
"Feng Yuqin, why... why are you here?" When Feng Yao had gone to find Feng Yuqin before, she had brought several very powerful guards with her.
After all, Feng Yao hadn't forgotten the strength that Feng Yuqin had displayed during the battle in the trial ground.
She didn't know exactly what level that strength was, but Feng Yao knew that Feng Yuqin's strength had increased again, and she was already far behind.
So now, seeing Feng Yuqin appear, she felt a shiver in her heart.
"What? You've framed me, and I can't even come to see you?" Feng Yuqin's straightforward words made Feng Yao subconsciously take a step back.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Feng Yao started to play dumb.
The maid outside the courtyard sensed something was wrong and immediately went to call for help.
"Don't understand?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows, found a chair to sit down on, and said mockingly, "What? Just the distance of a door makes you unable to sense what's going on outside?"
Hearing this, Feng Yao's small face began to turn deathly pale. "I... I don't know what's going on outside either."
Feng Yuqin let out a cold snort. Although she was sitting, the aura around her, combined with this cold snort, made sweat start to break out on Feng Yao's forehead.
"Feng Yao, in principle, if you didn't provoke me, I wouldn't have so much time to deal with you," Feng Yuqin said coldly. "But you always keep looking for trouble with me regardless of the danger. Do you think you can escape today?"
"What... what do you mean? What are you going to do?" A flicker of panic flashed across Feng Yao's eyes.
"What you've done to the people outside, I'll do to you. After all, I believe in an eye for an eye," Feng Yuqin's lips curled slightly, and her cold voice echoed in Feng Yao's ears, making Feng Yao feel as if she was being hunted for her life.
"You dare," Feng Yao quickly realized what Feng Yuqin meant. "Now so many people outside are poisoned, and the whole imperial city knows it was you who did it. If you dare to poison me, my mother won't let you go."
"Don't worry. Your mother arranged for so many people to poison the people in the imperial city. Her end will definitely be more miserable than yours," Feng Yuqin said sinisterly. "You guys are really ruthless. Poisoning so many people without an antidote. It was completely to frame me and put so many people to death."
"It's all your fault," hearing this, Feng Yao thought of how Feng Yuqin had always bullied her. She roared angrily, "If you hadn't always been against us, would we have had to come up with the method of poisoning to deal with you? Those people died because of you. If it weren't for you, they would never have been poisoned."
Feng Yuqin sneered, "You're really good at making excuses for yourself. Since you like to use poison, you surely won't mind being poisoned yourself."
"Feng Yuqin, you dare," the voice of the second madam suddenly sounded outside. Immediately afterwards, she rushed in quickly.
"Mother, Father, save me," seeing the second madam and Feng Pingqiu, Feng Yao was like a lost child finding her backbone. She directly ran in front of them, looking as if she had suffered a great deal of injustice.
Seeing this scene that looked like a real family, the sneer on Feng Yuqin's face became even colder.
"You unfilial wretch! Why aren't you staying in your own courtyard properly and instead come to Yao'er's courtyard?" As soon as Feng Pingqiu saw Feng Yuqin, he started scolding loudly. The murderous look on his face wished he could execute Feng Yuqin on the spot.
