Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the General's Estate received the Emperor's imperial edict: "The Emperor has been delivered by the heavens. The Empress and I have grown rather fond of each other. We have hereby bestowed the title of Fourth Prince's Consort with a single jade pendant.

"Thank you, your majesty." The people of the Qin Clan saluted. As the imperial edict was delivered by Qin Yi, their faces were filled with unconcealable joy. Although the crown prince and empress didn't have any chances now, Qin Feng had him tie up the Fourth Prince. Fourth Prince was also a popular person in front of the emperor now, so Qin Yi thought like this as he looked at Qin Feng with eyes full of gentleness.

Looking at the calm Qin Feng, Qin Wu's eyes were filled with jealousy. Why?

Qin Feng received the jade from her father-in-law. The jade was warm to the touch and crystal clear, at a glance, it was high quality jade. Qin Feng casually put the jade pendant on her waist.

Looking at the beautiful jade in Qin Feng's hand, Qin Wu's eyes darkened, such a good item, in the hands of a person like Qin Feng who did not know how to appreciate it, was simply too wasteful. Since it's Qin Feng …

Since she did not know how to cherish them, let's just give them to her. The position of Fourth Prince's Consort should belong to her anyway.

Qin Feng felt Qin Wu's hostile gaze and frowned. She glanced at Qin Wu and accidentally saw the deep gaze in her eyes. Qin Feng laughed sarcastically, it seemed like Qin Wu had not suffered enough.

After sending off her father-in-law, Qin Feng returned to her room, took off the jade pendant on her waist, and gently caressed it twice. From the very beginning, Qin Wu's line of sight had always been on this piece of jade. What plans did Qin Wu have for her to steal her jade? Then let's see if she, Qin Wu, has the capability to do so.

Qin Feng curled her lips, placed the jade into her dressing box, and left the room.

Not long after Qin Feng left, Qin Wu quietly entered Qin Feng's room. She rummaged through the boxes in Qin Feng's room and finally found the jade pendant from Qin Feng's dressing box. Qin Wu was overjoyed, and hastily stuffed it into her sleeves.

"What is little sister doing?" Just as Qin Wu finished packing up and was about to leave, Qin Feng appeared. She lazily leaned on the door and the corner of her mouth hooked up into a smile that was not a smile as she looked at Qin Wu.

"No, nothing." Qin Wu was panicking for a moment, but she quickly covered it up, "Sister came to look for me, but sister was not here, so Sister is preparing to go back now."

"I wonder why little sister is looking for me?" Qin Feng asked.

"Sister came to congratulate sister on becoming the Fourth Prince's Consort." Qin Wu said, "To have such honor, I am truly blessed by many generations of my sister."

Sister, you're too kind." Qin Feng's eyes were fixed on Qin Wu. Her piercing gaze made Qin Wu feel as if her entire being was exposed to Qin Wu, leaving her with no place to hide.

"Sister, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first." Not daring to meet Qin Feng's gaze, Qin Wu lowered her head and prepared to leave Qin Feng.

"Little sister, you've finished talking. Big sister still has something to say." When he was rubbing shoulders with Qin Feng, Qin Feng said indifferently.

"How may I help you, sister?" Qin Wu asked.

"I only want to tell you, don't try to get your hands on things that don't belong to you. Otherwise, you will die miserably." Qin Feng said coldly, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally looking at Qin Wu's sleeves.

Qin Wu subconsciously pulled up her sleeves, and replied: "The lesson that big sister taught is, mother is still looking for me, so little sister will be leaving first." After she finished speaking, she ran out of Qin Feng's room without looking back.

Looking at the backup Qin Wu was about to leave in a hurry, Qin Feng's implementation became dimmer. She went back to her own and sat in her seat. She opened her dressing box and found that the jade pendant was no longer in it. Qin Feng smiled playfully: "Qin Wu, you brought this upon yourself. From now on, don't blame me."

Closing the dressing case, Qin Wu threw it into the quibbling charcoal bowl. The wooden dressing box quickly turned into ashes.

A few days later, news came from the Qin Residence that the Qin Residence's Second Miss had contracted a strange disease. Qin Wu didn't know what was going on, but she felt that his entire body was itchy and couldn't stand it. Countless rashes appeared on her face, making him look extremely terrifying. Qin Wu was itching to death, but she did not dare scratch her beauty, as her temper was getting worse with each passing day. Lin Ru had invited many doctors over, but none of them were able to cure Qin Wu. In the end, they still begged Qin Yi and invited a famous imperial physician in the palace to show him.

Once the juice of this kind of grass was touched by someone, it would cause a situation like Qin Wu's. If the person was unable to treat it within four days, then the person's skin would gradually fester from the face. Although it was not difficult to cure, it would leave behind an eternal scar.

When Qin Wu heard this, he was both afraid and angry. If you were to say that she touched something she should not have touched, that would be Qin Feng's jade pendant. She did not expect Qin Feng to be so vicious, wanting to kill her. Qin Wu told Lin Ru about this matter and after the two of them discussed it, they finally had a way to teach Qin Feng a lesson.

"Master, you have to uphold justice for Wu'er!" Lin Ru kneeled down in front of Qin Yi, her face full of tears, looking very pitiful. Lin Ru had a weak look to him, now that she was crying, it made people's hearts tremble.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yi's heart softened as he immediately supported Lin Ru up, and asked, "Quickly get up, tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Our dance was almost killed by others. "Master, do you know that someone intentionally placed the Seven Star Grass beside Wu'er so that Wu'er would unknowingly be poisoned?" Lin Ru cried very sorrowfully, "If it wasn't for the old master's invitation to the imperial physicians, I'm afraid, Wu'er …"

"What!" Qin Yi stared angrily, and unconsciously raised his voice, "Who dares to be so bold!"

"Something like 'Seven Stars Grass' is extremely rare. It is impossible for servants to have it. I have asked Wu'er, these few days, Wu'er only visited her elder sister a few days ago. "Feng Er is such a gentle and kind person, of course she wouldn't do such a thing. There must be someone who wants to sow discord and deliberately let Wu'er, after seeing Feng Er, be poisoned. Old Master, you must redress the grievances of your two daughters!"

If Lin Ru had mentioned Qin Feng at the beginning, Qin Yi would definitely have doubted him. But now that she said such words and cried so bitterly, Qin Yi was actually a little suspicious of Qin Feng. She immediately followed Lin Ru to Qin Feng's courtyard.

Before Qin Yi could knock on the door, the sounds of an argument came from Qin Feng's room.

"Sister, I beg of you, please let my sister go." "Little Sister has offended Big Sister in some way, to the point where Big Sister actually wants to use the 'Seven Star Grass' to kill Little Sister. There are many things wrong with your little sister. She's your little sister, your father's little sister, your big sister. How could you be so cruel?! "

"Bastard!" Hearing that, Qin Yi's heart was filled with rage, without saying a word, he kicked open Qin Feng's door.

Qin Wu was kneeling on the ground, crying pitifully. Her two cheeks were already much better because she needed your treatment, and now that they were slightly red and swollen, it made her look really pitiful. However, Qin Feng was sitting in her seat with a cold expression. Not to mention panicking, she didn't even seem to be feeling any guilt at all.

"You unfilial daughter, kneel down!" Qin Yi said to Qin Feng.

"Father came very fast." Qin Feng sat in her seat, took a sip of the tea beside him, and said slowly: "Little sister's previous leg had just finished acting, and father has already come."

"Stop slandering people!" Qin Wu said loudly, "When did I act like this? You were the one who did this to me!"

"Heh, what a joke." Qin Feng sneered, "Where is the evidence?"

"I was sitting here for a while before I was poisoned. If it wasn't you, who else would it be?" Qin Wu said.

"How can I believe a one-sided speech?" Qin Feng looked at Qin Wu in disdain and said, "According to what you said, you only got poisoned after sitting at my place for a while. Then, may I ask, why is it that I, who am in the same room as you, am not poisoned? "

"If you poison me, would you harm yourself?" Qin Wu said.

"The only way to cause a person to be poisoned is to spread it through the air." Qin Feng said, "The only possibility is that the incense was poisoned with the Seven Stars Grass. Little Sister Wu'er, tell me, am I right?"

"Yes, that's right." Somehow, when she saw Qin Feng's wise eyes, she didn't feel flustered at all.

"That's strange." Qin Feng said, "That day, I did not know that you would come. "If I were to order 'Seven Stars Grass' every day, then why is it that no one else is fine? But coincidentally, something happened to you?"

"I …" Qin Wu was rendered speechless by Qin Feng.

"But, speaking of this, there is indeed Seven Stars Grass in my room." Qin Feng smirked and continued speaking, "If Little Sister Wu'er were to accidentally get poisoned, that would be acceptable."

"Yes, I was poisoned because I touched elder sister's thing." Qin Wu immediately said, "Younger sister, I was just curious for a moment, I didn't think that elder sister would actually want to kill me."

"You vicious woman." Lin Ru wiped away her tears, "Wu'er is your sister after all, how can you treat her like this?"

Qin Feng sneered, then took out a sandalwood box from the drawer. She opened it gently, and found an exquisite hairpin inside.

Qin Feng said, "This hairpin was bestowed by the Queen. There are a few types of precious jade on it, if exposed to the air for a long time, they will lose their original luster. It's not that Big Sis wanted to place such a highly toxic substance in my room, it's just that this was the last time at empress, I can't neglect it. I usually keep this box in the drawer. Other than me, no one else would touch the contents inside, so I didn't tell anyone that there was the juice of the Seven Stars Grass on it. I just, I didn't expect that my sister would actually touch my things. "

"I, I didn't …" Just as Qin Wu was about to deny it, she was interrupted.

"I also put the juice of the Seven Stars Grass in the other box." Qin Feng said, "Just that in the box, there is a piece of jade bestowed by the Emperor. If father wishes to see it, daughter will take it out now for father to see. "

Qin Wu was speechless. If she took it out now and took out the jade pendant, the crime of stealing would be proven.

Once Qin Feng said this, not only did his expression change, Qin Yi's expression became ugly too. Originally, he had only wanted to seek justice for his second daughter after seeing her daughter being wronged. She hadn't thought that she would suffer all of this because she had made a bad impression in front of her eldest daughter.

Qin Wu's face also turned pale, she couldn't understand why such a situation would suddenly turn around and cause her, from a victim, to reap what she sowed, but she had to admit that she did touch the jade pendant, because if Qin Feng said that the jade pendant was gone, then she would really be hiding the truth.

"Old master, madam, forgive this servant!" Suddenly, an older servant girl rushed in, knelt in front of them, and said while kowtowing, "The Seven Stars Grass is my servant. This servant saw that some of Madam's jewelry had lost some of its splendor, so I asked Madam for help with it. But who would have thought that the second young miss would accidentally run into him? This servant deserves to die! "

"Someone, come!" Qin Yi said with a cold face, "I don't need such a person to drive her out of my General's Estate."

"My lord, please forgive me. My lady, please forgive me!" The servant girl wailed as she was dragged down.

Lin Ru and Qin Wu heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, they had found a scapegoat.

"This matter has nothing to do with your sister." Qin Yi said to Qin Wu, "In the future, don't think too highly of your sister. You are a blood sister after all, don't you know that you have to love each other?"

"Daughter understands, father." Qin Wu lowered her head, responded, walked to Qin Feng, and was about to kneel down, "Big sister, little sister has wronged big sister indiscriminately, I hope big sister can forgive me!" She was sure that in front of so many people, Qin Feng would not allow herself to kneel down, in case it fell into her hands.

Qin Feng did not make her kneel down either, "Little sister, you are right. We are a family, why would big sister blame little sister." Qin Feng moved as if she was about to support Qin Wu, but somehow, the ground beneath her feet slipped, causing her entire person to fall down, and fiercely press her down. Qin Wu's head hit the ground heavily, making her beautiful to the point of fainting.

"Little sister, little sister, are you alright? Don't scare me, I didn't do it on purpose!" Qin Feng pretended to be anxious and shook Qin Wu with all her might. In reality, she had secretly pinched Qin Wu a few times, and even intentionally knocked her head on the ground a few times, "I don't know who pulled at big sister just now, until her legs became unsteady, and she bumped into little sister."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Qin Yi's eyes dimmed. It was not as if he did not know about some of the things that were happening in the Inner Palace. He just didn't want to pursue the matter from before. It was just that she did not expect Qin Wu to be so daring, to actually think of doing something small in front of him, and ended up harming him.

Qin Yi glanced at Lin Ru, snorted, and turned to leave Qin Feng's room.

Lin Ru carried Qin Wu and hurriedly went to the imperial physician once again.

The corner of Qin Feng's mouth raised into a ridiculing smile. Today, it was really going to be an incomparably interesting show.
