"You're the liar! Father only brought me the clay figurine. How could he have brought one for you? You're a bad omen. You killed your own mother as soon as you were born. Father hates you so much!"
As she spoke, the mini-version of Feng Manshu still seemed angry. She stepped forward and kicked away the broken clay figurine in Feng Yunshu's hand. "Why are you still staying in the mansion, you bad omen? You should just get out quickly! My mother said you're extremely inauspicious!"
Tears fell from the mini-version of Feng Yunshu's eyes and landed on the fragments of the clay figurine. Facing Feng Manshu's bullying, she could only swallow her anger.
...
Suddenly, the scene in front of her changed, and a new scene appeared.
Feng Yunshu never expected that she would see the Third Prince, Dongfang Yuan, in Feng Manshu's dream. Feng Manshu not far away was much older than the one in the previous dream. She was already a graceful young lady.
And Dongfang Yuan standing opposite her still looked like a high-spirited young man. However, compared with his current appearance, there wasn't much change in the handsomeness of his eyebrows.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, Manshu has known you and Crown Prince since childhood. I don't want to see you continue to be deceived by my elder sister's innocent appearance. In fact, it's all an act!"
"Why do you say so, Miss Feng?"
"Your Highness the Third Prince, you may not know this. In private, my elder sister behaves very promiscuously. She always flirts with other men and has an ambiguous relationship with them. I've advised her several times not to be so reckless, but she told me not to meddle in her business, or she would be rude to me..."
As she spoke, Feng Manshu's eyes turned red. "My elder sister has always been extremely arrogant and domineering. I've endured all this, but she behaves so outrageously in private and yet pretends to be innocent and kind in front of you, Your Highness the Third Prince. Manshu really can't bear it any longer, so I've come to tell you these things."
Dongfang Yuan frowned. His face looked rather solemn. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Is what you said true?"
"If Your Highness the Third Prince doesn't believe me, Manshu has solid evidence."
As she spoke, Feng Manshu took out a silk handkerchief from her wide sleeve. The handkerchief was filled with delicate black characters. She handed it to Dongfang Yuan.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, take a look. This is the evidence of my elder sister's amorous exchanges with other men. Every few days, she would send her maid to meet the other man's servant boy and exchange love letters. One day, by chance, it was picked up by a maid in my courtyard and has been kept ever since."
Dongfang Yuan took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully. The handwriting on it was indeed Feng Yunshu's. The content on it was so cheesy that it was unbearable to look at. His face became even colder, and he tightly clenched the handkerchief in his hand.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, there are many women in the capital who are more beautiful and talented than my elder sister. I hope Your Highness the Third Prince will get rid of this burden soon and find your true lover. As for someone like my elder sister, just let her degenerate."
Dongfang Yuan was silent for a long time before he coldly said, "I know what to do. Thank you, Miss Feng, for the reminder."
After saying that, he turned around with the handkerchief and strode away.
Feng Manshu watched Dongfang Yuan's departing back and sneered with a curled lip. The scene changed to the Orchid Courtyard of the First Lady.
"Mother, daughter just did a wonderful thing. In this way, the only straw that Feng Yunshu was relying on will probably break. Now the war on the front line is urgent. I heard that His Highness the Third Prince has volunteered to lead the troops to the front line. He will definitely not protect Feng Yunshu anymore. Hehe!"
"Mother has always told you that Feng Yunshu is just an ant on the ground. As long as this lady is here, she only deserves to be trampled under our feet and never be able to turn over! So what if she's the legitimate daughter? As long as she's dead, you'll be the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"With mother here, daughter feels relieved..."
Feng Yunshu watched all this happening in front of her. Her heart was greatly shocked, and that uncontrollable emotion began to rise again. Sensing that something was wrong, Feng Yunshu quickly concentrated her mind and left Feng Manshu's consciousness.
After leaving her consciousness, Feng Yunshu felt that the emotion in her body was getting stronger and stronger, just like the feeling when she saw the painting scroll not long ago.
Oh no, she was about to lose control again!
Since spiritual power needed a high degree of concentration to be released, now that Feng Yunshu's mind was distracted, her spiritual power instantly dissipated, and her invisibility ability was gone.
Just at this moment, Feng Manshu, for some reason, suddenly murmured and turned over. She suddenly opened her eyes -
Feng Yunshu was right above her at this moment. Their eyes "popped" and met each other, staring at each other.
"Ah!"
Feng Manshu let out a panicked scream. Feng Yunshu quickly reached out her hand to cover her big mouth. Suddenly, she got a playful idea and deliberately made a hideous face and approached Feng Manshu.
"Feng Manshu, you've done so many evil things. Are you afraid of ghosts knocking on your door?"
Feng Manshu's eyes were full of panic. Her whole body was shaking like a sieve. "Sp... spare me..."
"I, Feng Yunshu, always have a principle: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You really want to be the Crown Princess, don't you? You even dream about it! Hehe, as the saying goes, ruining someone's marriage will send you to hell..."
"With your virtue, you still want to be the Crown Princess?" Feng Yunshu took out a needle and pricked it on the back of Feng Manshu's neck. "You'd better continue to have your pipe dream!"
Before Feng Manshu could react, her eyes closed, her head tilted, and she fainted directly.
Seeing that it was almost dawn and her spiritual power was almost exhausted, Feng Yunshu immediately climbed out of the side room through the window.
As soon as she landed, she looked up and saw Kong Ze leaning against the corner, looking rather bored.
"Third Senior Brother."
Kong Ze turned his head and looked at Feng Yunshu in confusion. "Have you finished everything? Why did you stay inside for so long? It's almost dawn. Just now I heard your conversation with Feng Manshu. Did she wake up and find you? Weren't you invisible?"
Feng Yunshu shrugged and spread her hands helplessly. "It's a long story. It's getting late. Let's leave here first."
Kong Ze nodded, and the two quickly returned the same way and left the Miaokong Nunnery.
Since her spiritual power was insufficient, on the way back, Feng Yunshu directly hitched a ride on Kong Ze's magical tool.
On the way back, Feng Yunshu told Kong Ze about the same problem that had been occurring in her body recently. "Third Senior Brother, does the body you're resurrected in suddenly lose control? For example, sometimes when you encounter someone or something that the original owner cared about very much, you're prone to strong emotional fluctuations and even can't control yourself."
Kong Ze's face became rather complicated after hearing this. "You... also have this problem?"
Feng Yunshu was even more stunned when she heard this. "So, Third Senior Brother, you also have this problem?!"
Kong Ze nodded. It was as if he remembered something, and his face became even more complicated. "This matter is really a headache... I guess every resurrected person will have a similar situation. It's because the original owner's certain obsessions are too deep and always remain in the subconscious, so this happens."
"Okay, but isn't there any way to completely solve this problem?" Feng Yunshu was a bit distressed. This time the problem wasn't too serious, but if something went wrong at a critical moment, she would be finished.
Kong Ze looked solemn. "Let's observe it for a while and see if there's any way."
"That's the only thing we can do."
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Yunshu washed up and got into bed after tidying up, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
