Phoenix Duchess - C20

The morning light seeped in through the screen, shining on the young girl’s thin body. The young girl was holding a book, her hands holding a strand of wolf hair, dipping it into the cinnabar as she wrote a comment, quiet and tranquil.

Dong Ling Wan was confused by her actions, so she naturally wouldn’t let her go. At this moment, she only heard Yu Yu say angrily: “Isn’t it that King Qizhi? He actually sent five girls over. Are we really lacking these people?”

Dong Ling Wan’s eyebrows jumped. She put down her brush, but didn’t get up. Doubt arose in her heart as she thought to herself, “I wonder what kind of tricks this person is playing now!”

Furthermore, she heard that the person who had brought in Xiao Qian’s wet nurse, Wei mama, was of an extraordinary status, so she had to tidy up her clothes and come to the front hall. She had long since seen a slightly skinny mama with five beautiful girls wearing similar outfits standing behind her, standing in the middle of the hall.

When she saw Eastern Ling Wan, Wei mama hurriedly went forward to pay her respects, and Eastern Ling Wan supported her up in time, “This mama has really made a fool of Ling Wan, sit down!”

“This old servant’s status is low, how would he dare to sit together with Miss!” Wei mama remained calm and collected as she sized up Eastern Lingwan. This girl was obviously lacking. Even her body was emitting a faint smell of medicinal herbs. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to nurture her properly in the future. Previously, she thought that the rumors of the ‘sickly beauty’ was just a rumor, but now, it seemed that it was true.

Wei mama completely saw Eastluck Wan’er as the future consort. Her master wasn’t young anymore, and Wei mama was an experienced old man as well. She could tell that the prince treated this Second Young Miss differently, so she was naturally picky with others.

“I wonder if mama will come today …” Dong Ling Wan glanced at the five, and asked knowingly.

“His Highness asked this old servant to send a few people over to Second Miss.”

Just as she said yesterday, she already sent someone over today. Just like what Tingyu said, is there anyone else in the mansion who is lacking in manpower? This man was blatantly coming to his side! Dong Ling Wan smiled. “Please give me some advice.”

“This old servant only followed orders, I really don’t know what His Highness is thinking.” As Wei mama spoke, she got the other maidservants to give Eastern Ling Wan a salute. These people were called Fu Qin, Dill Flower, Tasting Tea, Hou Yue, and Dispensing Wine. Their names made Eastern Ling Wan quite satisfied.

“In that case, please ask this mama to thank Your Highness on behalf of Ling Wan.” After speaking, Eastluck ordered Snowy to take the five of them to arrange a residence.

During the entire time, Wei mama had been invited to sit down for a few times, but Wei Ling had refused to sit down. She stood in the hall and greeted Wei mama, acting extremely safe and sound.

Before long, Wei mama said that she had to rush back to the residence to complete her orders, before she stood up to take her leave. Dong Ling Wan gave Wei mama a wad of money, but Wei mama didn’t want it, so she said with a smile, “You must accept mama. Don’t make people say that Ling Wan doesn’t understand the rules.”

Wei mama smiled kindly and could only accept it. After everyone left, Eastern Ling Wan arranged for the five people to be rewarded.

After returning to the Fragrant Pavilion, Eastern Ling Wan felt a little troubled. Xiao Gan had clearly ordered her to do so, so she couldn’t treat these people like ordinary girls. However, if she brought them along with her, she couldn’t let them get tired of living!

After pondering for a long time, Dong Ling Wan finally decided to arrange for a separate garden for them to look after the flowers and trees. The person Xiao Qian sent over wasn’t some random girl. Taking care of the flowers and trees was a delicate matter, and was also something that Ling Wan loved. She didn’t want to dishonor Xiao Qian and didn’t need to let him near her.

Dong Ling Wan thought for a moment, then ordered, “Watch them closely, don’t make things difficult for them. Every single one of them … Following the instructions given by the first-rate lass, a crafty smile appeared on Dong Ling Wan’s face, with a hint of revenge in her tone, “Pick a few obedient girls from your mansion and send them to Prince Rong’s Mansion tomorrow. This is not about courtesy, just say that this is my way of returning the favor to Prince Qi.”

Xiao Qian sent a few people to add fuel to the fire, how could he let him have a peaceful time!

The next day, Xiao Qian and the rest were brought to Xiao Qian’s side. Looking at Xiao Qian, who was shyly stealing glances at him in return, Xiao Qian could only shake his head in frustration. This was the young miss’s decision; she had no choice but to give up!

Those girls had been jubilant all day, but nothing had happened. Dong Ling Wan had stayed in the mansion, but she didn’t expect it to come in handy right now. Those maidservants were merely second-rate maidservants in the mansion. The number of cases that were sent to the residence was no less than the number here. As for anything else, it could only be seen from how lucky they were.

Looking at these maidservants who pretended to approach him every day, Xiao Qian gritted his teeth in anger. ‘Dong Ling Wan, good job you are!’

Thinking about Xiao Qian’s angry expression when he was entangled by others, Dong Ling Wan immediately felt elated! However, within a few days, the door was closed again.

At that time, when Dong Ling Wan was fixing flowers and trees, she heard that King Qi had brought people to copy the Wang Court’s house. After listing dozens of crimes, he was put in prison, and the rest were yet to be investigated.

Even if Eastern Ling Wan had expected this to happen, when she heard it herself, her hands tensed up. The shape that had just been repaired was destroyed just like that.

Dong Ling Wan put down her flower shears and paced around gently, carefully putting away the great villain. However, she checked out this small hospital first. Compared to the other two princes, it was impossible to pick them out. This person … Wait a minute, it’s too hospital! The harem, the imperial court, and the Grand Hospital. So that’s how it was.

The imperial harem could not be run by the ancestors of the Great Ye, but which generation was not the imperial harem? Those empress masters, if they wanted to obstruct or use any methods, it would only be a matter of life and death. The deaths in the palace were much more severe than the deaths in the courtyard, so how could they not be investigated by the imperial physicians?

Wang Renji was undoubtedly the former. As long as he was willing to speak, countless lives would be implicated.

“Miss, do you want to arrange …”

“No need.” Dong Ling Wan shook her head towards Qing Xue. “Why are we in such a hurry? Someone else will take action. Why take such a risk?”

It wasn’t until she heard from someone that she understood why Xiao Qian wanted to move on to the unknown Wang Ren Zhi and felt some fear towards him. His shrewdness was like a bottomless pit; it was too dark and deep.

At that moment, Eastern Ling Wan suddenly lost all hope in her heart. If that Wang guy really did reveal her name … Dong Ling Wan shook her head and laughed at herself. No, he wouldn’t ignore the lives of his family.

There had been some bad rumors in the city recently, and the main character was naturally Dong Ling Wan. The previous incident between her and Pu Jing had been made known to everyone, and it had finally come to an end. Yet another Prince Rongyuan had appeared, but these two were childhood friends, so they didn’t cause too much trouble. Now that they were involved with another Qi King, things didn’t look good. At this time, it was easy for people to recall that on the first day the three kings returned to the capital, they all went to visit Eastern Ling Wan. People couldn’t not think too much about it, and there were even people who said that this woman would become a disaster in the future.

When Eastern Ling Wan heard this, she smiled calmly and looked at her face in the mirror. This was not a face that could captivate people with a single glance.

Xiao Qian’s actions were like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples. Currently, all sorts of rumors were being spread; naturally, there were different kinds of praise and disapproval. Let’s not talk about all this for now. After hearing her words, Tingyu almost jumped to her feet. After persuading her, Yi Yeyu was puzzled. “These things, how did they spread out? Our young miss doesn’t have any big enemies, right?”

Yingxue glared at her, “Do you think all the young misses are like Fourth Miss Song? Those young misses did a good job on face, who in the dark wouldn’t be jealous of our young missy? ”

Dong Ling Wan was a first-rate good man, and her family was also very prominent. If Dong Ling Wan was a young lady from a high-ranking family, then that would be fine. But she was just a daughter from a merchant’s family, and her background was poor, but she had everything that others could only ask of her, so it would be strange for her not to arouse jealousy.

After listening to what Dong Ling Wan had to say, they went to work together. After all, the most important thing for Dong Ling Wan to do right now was to take care of the matter of Yu Rui. As Dong Ling Wan’s trusted aide, the two were naturally very busy.

However, just as Dong Ling Wan was carefully executing her plan, an uninvited guest came to her door: Xiao Qian.
