Not only did Feng Wu take all the wealth of Night Light, but she also took a lot of the treasures of the Jing Manor.
Feng Wu had made up her mind that after Lord Jing and Night Owl fell, all their things would be hers.
As for the research and development departments of the Dongsang Kingdom…
Feng Wu would sneak in whenever she found a chance. She took stuff when no one was looking and left a bloody handprint behind.
So far, the Dongsang Kingdom was still investigating the handprint, and no one knew that Feng Wu had done it.
Sometimes when Feng Wu was too busy, she would let Little Phoenix do it.
What was better about Little Phoenix was that it had an invisibility skill, which enabled it to succeed every single time. Moreover, it was out of reach, and the incidents had been reported to the Dongsang King, who had handed it over to Night Owl, the crown prince.
Night Owl was too busy trying to kill Yan Ling to keep his secret and to kill the Dongsang King to take the throne. He couldn’t care less about such petty things. Therefore, the incident was put on hold for the time being.
Feng Wu followed Princess Yan Ling back home.
Princess Yan Ling was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. Seeing the look on Princess Yan Ling’s face, Feng Wu immediately told her that she wasn’t feeling well and needed to go to the toilet. Hence, she pushed Shijian toward Yan Ling.
Shijian was indeed arrogant in front of Feng Wu, but she didn’t dare to utter a word in front of Princess Yan Ling and had to go in to serve her.
But Princess Yan Ling was still angry, so she whipped Shijian until she was covered in blood.
“Get her out of here!” Princess Yan Ling bellowed.
rlWvo people quickly came in and carried Shijian out.
“Xingxiang, come in!” Princess Yan Ling bellowed.
Feng Wu had no choice but to walk in slowly.
Holding her whip, Princess Yan Ling stared at Feng Wu with a brooding look in her eyes, as if she was going to explode at any moment.
Feng Wu spoke first before Princess Yan Ling lost her temper. “Princess, did the Dongsang Kingdom pick on you? I don’t think there’s a good person in the Dongsang Kingdom.”
Princess Yan Ling hated the Dongsang Kingdom at the moment, but she couldn’t tell her maid that she had been recorded, which was why she was so flustered. Now that Feng Wu was complaining about the Dongsang Kingdom, she liked Feng Wu a lot more.
Feng Wu was very good at reading faces. She saw Princess Yan Ling seemed a little relaxed, so she said, “Night Light offended you first, and then Lord Jing offended you. Doesn’t that mean that there’s still the crown prince and the others? How are we supposed to stay in the Dongsang Kingdom?”
Princess Yan Ling stared at Feng Wu. “You’re not a member of the Dayan
Empire. You’re from the Dongsang Kingdom. How can you speak up for me? You’re betraying the Dongsang Kingdom!”
Feng Wu said in a hurry, “From the moment His Majesty gave this manor to you, I’m yours. Since you’re a member of the Dayan Empire, so am I. I’m loyal to you.”
Princess Yan Ling asked, “How can I trust you?”
Feng Wu said, “Princess, I’ll do anything for you.”
Princess Yan Ling smirked. “What if I give you to ten strong men?
Damn it! Feng Wu cursed inwardly, but she only smiled bitterly. “I’m sure you won’t do that, princess, because you’re the kindest person and you care about your servants the most…”
Feng Wu was very good at singing praises.
Hearing Feng Wu’s compliment, Princess Yan Ling forgot about her evil plan. She stared at Feng Wu and asked, “What do you think I should do now?” Feng Wu hesitated and didn’t say anything.
Princess Yan Ling glanced at Feng Wu and snorted. “You followed me to the second prince’s manor and then to the Jing manor. Of course, you know what happened to me!”
Feng Wu looked panicked. “…Princess, please forgive me.”
Princess Yan Ling glanced at Feng Wu. “If you can come up with something nice, not only will I forgive you, but I’ll also reward you. But if you can’t, I’m going to kill you, too! Speak!”
As she spoke, Princess Yan Ling exerted her formidable energy.
Feng Wu said, “Actually, I do have an idea. Princess, you can go to His Royal Highness.”
“Night Owl? Why do I need him?”
Feng Wu had a plan. Princess Yan Ling might seem to be forcing her, but in fact, Feng Wu had everything under control.
Feng Wu’s acting was so amazing that Princess Yan Ling thought that she was the winner.
Feng Wu said quietly, “Lord Jing and Night Owl are working together against you. Princess, haven’t you thought about splitting them up? Or even killing him with a borrowed knife?”
As smart as Princess Yan Ling was, she immediately said, “Are you saying that we should separate Night Owl from Lord Jing and use Night Owl to kill Lord Jing?
Feng Wu nodded. “That’s right. Night Owl and Lord Jing have always been good friends. If Lord Jing finds out that Night Owl did it, he’ll be the most upset.”
Princess Yan Ling thought to herself, “It’ll be worse than death because Lord
Jing is Night Owl’s father!”
“That’ll be great news!” The thought of Night Owl killing Lord Jing excited Princess Yan Ling. She stared at Feng Wu in excitement.
Princess Yan Ling said, “It’s just that Lord Jing and Night Owl are closer than you can imagine. They’re as close as father and son. How can they turn against each other?”
Feng Wu chuckled. “They didn’t fall out because you haven’t tempted them enough. With enough temptation, of course, they’ll fall out.” Princess Yan Ling said, “They’re father and son! They both know that!” Feng Wu seemed frightened by the news.
Princess Yan Ling sneered at Feng Wu. “Now you know that they won’t turn against each other.”
Feng Wu acted as if she had digested the information and shook her head at Princess Yan Ling. “But why are they so sure that they’re father and son? Even if that’s the case, what if they aren’t? Even if they are, we can still make up the evidence to say otherwise. Can’t we accuse Lord Jing of falsifying the evidence so that the crown prince would believe that they’re father and son? That way, wouldn’t the crown prince hate Lord Jing? Wouldn’t they turn against each other?”
Princess Yan Ling gave Feng Wu an indescribable look.
Feng Wu said, “Princess…”
Princess Yan Ling suddenly reached out, patted Feng Wu on the shoulder, and smiled.. “You’re really my lucky star! That’s a great angle! I need to study it!
Night Owl’s mother is the current queen…”
