Feng Ziyu interrupted with a gloomy expression: "Don't mention her. If it weren't for her schemes, I wouldn't be back in such a sorry state!"

Feng Yingying looked at him with concern: "Are you injured?"

Feng Ziyu did not answer and walked straight into the mansion.

Feng Yingying followed behind him until the two entered the house, at which point he said, "Zhan Miao not only refused to help, but even had the old doctor scheme against me!"

He lifted his clothes, revealing the bruises on his skin.

Feng Yingying spoke angrily, "How could she do this? We only asked her for a small favor, how could she be so cruel? She's too heartless and vicious!"

Feng Ziyu gritted his teeth and said, "We must not let her go. But Yingying, you must prepare well for the Flower Goddess election. Only when you become a palace lady can our Feng family rise to a higher level!"

Feng Yingying frowned and pondered: "Originally, I was 70% confident. If Zhan Miao could say some nice things to the Empress, then it would be a sure thing. But now, she refuses to help me. I'm afraid there might be some changes!"

A cold glint flashed in Feng Ziyu's eyes. He said in a low voice, "Don't think too much about it now. I'll help you figure something out when we enter the palace for the competition!"

Feng Yingying nodded vigorously: "Thank you, brother!"

The Flower Goddess Festival election was fast approaching, and Lin Yiwan took Zhan Miao to the palace to watch the excitement.

The so-called election was nothing more than a contest of talents among the noble ladies.

However, this Flower Goddess has one more skill: identifying flowers.

Empress Lin brought out all the rare and exotic flowers and plants from the Imperial Garden, and then had the noble ladies who had won the prizes identify them.

Whoever argues the most wins.

At first, Crystal Fung was at the front of the line, but when it came to identifying the flowers, she found that there were several kinds that she didn't recognize at all.

She looked up and saw Zhan Miao; she hoped Zhan Miao could tell her the answer.

During a break, she quickly led her maid to greet Zhan Miao.

She greeted him warmly, "Miss Zhan, it's been a long time!"

Zhan Miao looked at her in surprise: "Who are you?"

She actually knew Crystal Fung, but she just wanted to embarrass her.

It's because she had ulterior motives!

A look of embarrassment flashed across Feng Yingying's face, and she quickly explained, "My name is Feng Yingying. Haven't we met before?"

Zhan Miao suddenly realized: "I remember now, it was you who tricked me into visiting your house last time, and then asked me for the medicine to cure my disfigurement!"

Her voice was so loud that it was quickly heard by several noble ladies nearby.

They asked instinctively, "Miss Zhan, you were fooled by her before?"

Feng Yingying was immediately ashamed and hurriedly argued, "No, I wasn't lying to her. I just thought that since she liked the novels of the Netherworld Prince so much, she would definitely be willing to help him!"

Zhan Miao couldn't help but sneer: "What makes you think you can make decisions for me? Who do you think you are?"

Feng Yingying tried to argue, "Miss Zhan, I can't make decisions for you, but you should be kind. In our prosperous dynasty, kindness is the most basic quality of noble ladies. How can you just stand by and watch innocent people get hurt?"

Zhan Miao said sarcastically, "Miss Feng is so kind, then why do you give even a little bit of charity to all the beggars on the street?"

Feng Yingying explained awkwardly, "I will give them alms, but not now. Also, Miss Zhan, you don't need to keep harping on other people's mistakes. That's not very generous of you!"

Zhan Miao curled her lips into a smile. She really didn't want to waste her breath on this kind of idiot who didn't know his own limitations.

She'd rather take Zhan Xiaobai for a run than waste that time.

She instinctively turned to leave, but was stopped by Feng Yingying.

She spoke urgently, "Miss Zhan, please don't leave yet, I need your help with something!"

Zhan Miao looked at her in surprise, then asked calmly, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Feng Yingying frowned and said, "Let's go somewhere secluded. There are too many people around here, and I'm afraid some unpleasant gossip might spread!"

Zhan Miao snorted coldly; "Tell me if you want, or don't!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Feng Yingying quickly caught up with her: "How can you be so rude? I haven't finished speaking, how can you leave?"

Zhan Miao frowned and said, "You're the one who refused to speak, and now you're trying to shift the blame?"

Crystal Fung vehemently denied it: "No, I just didn't want to talk to you in front of so many people. You can't force me to do something I don't want to do!"

Zhan Miao nodded: "Yeah, I didn't force you, so shut up!"

Anger suddenly surged in Feng Yingying's eyes. She reached out and grabbed Zhan Miao's sleeve, ordering in a low voice, "Go and write down all the names of those precious flowers for me now!"

Zhan Miao was stunned. Had she lost her mind?

Meeting her probing gaze, Feng Yingying asked with displeasure, "What are you looking at? Didn't you hear what I just said?"

Zhan Miao squinted and smiled: "Are you out of your mind?"

Feng Yingying's face immediately turned bright red, and she angrily retorted, "How dare you swear at me?"

Zhan Miao whispered in her ear, "Not only will I curse you, I'll throw you into the water, you idiot!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and pushed Feng Yingying into the pond.

Unable to swim, she frantically pounded the water and screamed, "Help! Someone help me! I've been pushed into the water by Miss Zhan from the Marquis of Zhanyi's mansion!"

Before anyone could react, Zhan Miao had already jumped down.

She shouted, "Miss Feng, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

She moved closer to Feng Yingying and stood guard beside her, pressing her down whenever she showed herself.

After several repetitions, Feng Yingying's belly was filled with dirty water, and she was almost rolling her eyes from the bloating.

Zhan Miao didn't really want her dead; he just found her too troublesome and felt he had to teach her a lesson.

She dragged Feng Yingying ashore like a dead pig, and pretended to be in a panic, shouting, "Quickly, someone, quickly go and fetch the imperial physician to treat Miss Feng!"

Lin Yiwan also learned about Zhan Miao falling into the water and rushed over immediately.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief only after confirming that Zhan Miao was unharmed.

Feng Yingying was severely submerged and, under the acupuncture treatment of the imperial physician, kept vomiting dirty water.

Madam Feng and Feng Ziyu rushed over, and the mother and son almost instinctively accused Zhan Miao: "Why did you harm my sister? Why did you push her into the water?"

Lin Yiwan retorted with an ugly expression: "Which of you saw my daughter push her into the water? Everyone else only saw that Zhan Miao rescued her. Is your Feng family repaying kindness with enmity?"

Feng Ziyu was still afraid of Lin Yiwan after all. He looked away and said, "Madam Hou, if Miss Zhan really wanted to save my sister, then why did she drink so much water?"

Zhan Miao answered softly from the side, "I can explain that. She's so heavy that every time I grab her, she pulls me to the bottom of the water. So I have to let go first, then surface to take a few breaths before going back down to save her!"

Hearing her words, Lin Yiwan felt a pang of heartache.

Her daughter is so kind, yet she was still misunderstood!
