A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

"My lord?" The waiter beside him asked cautiously, noticing the shifting, gloomy expression on his face.

Feng Xiangyu lowered his eyes, the candlelight illuminating his face, which was shrouded in shadow, inscrutable. His deep eyes were like a still pool, without any ripples or traces, making it impossible to discern any emotion from him.

After a long while, just when the waiter thought he wouldn't answer, the deep voice of the current prime minister slowly rang out, calm and composed.

"Bring the eldest daughter out of the Minnan Xiaozhu. She is, after all, the legitimate daughter of the Feng family. She should be given whatever a legitimate daughter deserves, so as to avoid others saying that I, Feng Xiangyu, favor my concubine over my wife!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

Feng Xiangyu only slowly raised his head and looked at the flickering candlelight after hearing the waiter leave.

The surrounding scenery gradually changed in the flickering candlelight, and everything looked just like it did many years ago.

The man stood before her, smiling gently, and she softly called out to him, "Feng Lang."

At that time, he thought they would live a good life together like this.

But unexpectedly, that thing happened in the end, so unbearable, so cruel, like a red-hot branding iron deeply imprinted on his heart, day and night, never to be forgotten.

Thinking of this, everything that happened that night reappeared before Feng Xiangyu's eyes, vivid and piercing.

Feng Xiangyu closed his eyes, suppressing the turmoil in his heart and trying to calm it down.

He would never forget that woman's betrayal!

All those good times from that night onward turned into a mockery of his foolish past!

He can't forget, but he can't forgive either.

Especially as Feng Jiutian grew up day by day, her appearance became more and more similar to her mother's.

That face terrified him; seeing it reminded him of that excruciating pain!

So over the years, he deliberately treated Feng Jiutian coldly.

He wasn't completely unaware of the little tricks Qian Wanyi and Feng Lingfu were secretly playing, but he deliberately ignored them each time, telling himself that he didn't care.

Over time, even he himself came to believe it.

But does he really not care?

That's all, that's all...

He sighed silently in his heart. Feng Jiutian was still his daughter after all, the daughter of that person.

He could ignore her, but he couldn't let her continue to ostracize him like that...

Feng Xiangyu never imagined that it was precisely because of this one thought that Feng Jiutian's life in this mansion would undergo a complete transformation.

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

There was a knock on the door outside Feng Jiutian's courtyard. She looked up at the sky, wondering who would come to her courtyard at this hour.

She was lying in bed when she heard rustling sounds outside. It was Qingzhi who went to answer the door, and she could hear faint voices outside.

A moment later, Feng Jiutian heard Qingzhi's voice from outside: "Miss? Are you awake?"

Feng Jiutian responded calmly, "Who's outside?"

When Qingzhi said this, she seemed a little hesitant. "Miss, it was someone sent by the master. He said he wants you to move to the main house in the South Garden."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian paused in fastening her belt, frowning with some confusion.

Isn't Feng Xiangyu the one who hates her daughter the most?

How could he suddenly change his mind and remember this orphan girl he had forgotten?

And she wasn't the only one in the Feng family who thought this way.

If we really have to say who is the most indignant, it should be the Qian mother and daughter.

"What?! The master actually gave the main house in the South Garden to that wretched girl!"

Upon hearing the news reported by her subordinates, Qian Wanyi disregarded her usual image as a noble lady and slammed her hand hard on the table, her delicate hands, covered in red nail polish, bulging with veins.

The people in her courtyard knew her habits best. Whenever she was unhappy, she would secretly scold and beat the people around her in the courtyard.

Sure enough, the next moment, she threw the teacup on the table at the new maid in the courtyard, spilling the tea all over her.

"Ah~!"

A sharp, piercing scream rang out, and the entire room fell silent, everyone trembling with fear.

The maid's miserable state was etched into everyone's hearts, and no one dared to breathe loudly.

Although Feng Lingfu was also angry, this time she was smarter. She put on a smiling face, stepped forward, gently took Qian Wanyi's arm, and softly comforted her:

"Mother, why bother with that ugly girl? She's just the daughter of a lowly person and doesn't deserve to be born! It's her fault for making you angry. Since she's an eyesore, let her disappear from this world forever!"

When Qian Wanyi heard her say that, a wicked glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, just like those venomous snakes that have been lurking in cold, damp corners for years—cold and vicious.

It's terrifying to look at.

"Since this brat is so ungrateful, then I won't let her get away with it! Feng Jiutian, she should have disappeared from this world long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingfu smiled slightly, a gentle and beautiful curve appearing on her face, but the words she spoke were so cruel:

"Feng Jiutian is just a brat. What gives her the right to be so arrogant? As long as she lives, Father will never give us the status of the Prime Minister's wife and the legitimate daughter. Only when she dies can we eliminate this threat forever!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Wanyi smiled and patted Feng Lingfu's hand, looking gratified: "As expected, Fu'er understands her mother's heart the best."

At this point, a glint of malice flashed in Qian Wanyi's eyes: "Don't worry, your mother will never let anyone stand in your way!"

The maids and servants standing around Qian Wanyi couldn't help but shudder when they heard her say that.

He thought to himself, "Of course, you can't afford to offend Aunt Qian!"

Offending Aunt Qian always ends in death, so Miss, you'd better pray for yourself!

……

Feng Jiutian took off her clothes and soaked in the hot bathwater. Her long, wet black hair clung to her neck, outlining her beautiful figure, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Despite having the same facial features, they give off a completely astonishingly different impression!

If someone were to walk in at this moment, they would find that not only had the appearance of the eldest daughter of the Feng family changed, but even her previously thin body had gradually become more curvaceous.

Her skin became increasingly supple and moisturized, almost as if you could squeeze water out of it.

It seems that the pills Xuanjizi gave me before, although they didn't detoxify, did regulate my body!

However, on this night when the bright moon hangs high in the sky!

In the darkness of the night, as the evening breeze blew by, a dark figure swiftly approached the main house of the South Garden.
