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

From then on, there was no trace of that woman left in the Feng Mansion. The entire Feng Mansion would become Qian Wanyi's domain!

Just then, an old woman rushed in frantically, shouting, "Madam! Something terrible has happened! Someone has died in the manor!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Wanyi immediately thought of Feng Jiutian. Suppressing her overwhelming joy, she adopted a gentle yet slightly anxious expression: "What happened? Where exactly did the trouble occur?"

She waited for the old woman to say Feng Jiutian's name, even ignoring the woman's somewhat embarrassed expression.

"lady……"

The old woman had a bitter face, and hesitated, unsure of how to begin. "Then, the dead person was in our yard!"

Qian Wanyi didn't react at first, but after hearing this, she realized something was wrong: "What did you say? There's a dead person in our yard?"

"Yes, yes! The dead man was indeed in our yard!" The old woman said, her voice trembling as she looked at her face.

Qian Wanyi's face darkened.

But he quickly suppressed his unease and strode out of the courtyard. In the distance, he saw a man's corpse in the center of the waterside pavilion.

Her heart pounded faster and faster, and when she got closer, it confirmed her suspicions.

—It's him!

It was the assassin she hired to kill Feng Jiutian!

But... but how did he end up here?

Shouldn't the one who died be Feng Jiutian?

Qian Wanyi's carefully manicured nails dug into her palm, and judging from the current situation, the matter had clearly been exposed.

This body must not be left in her yard; it must be sent out quickly!

With a quick glance, she calmed herself and ordered the maids and servants beside her, "You lot, quickly deal with this man. Use the supply carts from the manor to send him out and get rid of him as soon as possible!"

Just then, a sharp voice came from the doorway: "Madam! The master is here!"

"What..." Qian Wanyi's expression changed immediately.

……

At this moment, Feng Jiutian was leaning against his pear blossom couch reading a book. The tea on the table was boiling hot, with bubbles rising from it.

Qingzhi walked in from outside, her footsteps light and silent. She quietly came to her side and leaned down, saying, "Miss, the matter has been completed."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian put down the book in his hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Feng Xiangyu already knows about that matter?"

Qingzhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, as Miss said, I secretly bribed an old nanny and had her inadvertently tell the master that she saw a strange man's corpse in Aunt Qian's courtyard. The master was very angry when he found out and rushed to Aunt Qian's courtyard as soon as court was over. I believe Aunt Qian will not have an easy time this time."

Feng Jiutian stood up and took the clothes that Qingzhi had prepared. "Of course. Feng Xiangyu is the most suspicious person, and he hates betrayal by his woman the most. Now, a dead man has suddenly appeared in Qian Wanyi's courtyard, and he was in his prime. What do you think Feng Xiangyu will think?"

Qingzhi smiled and said, "Qingzhi is dull-witted and naturally cannot compare to Miss's intelligence, but she still understands that Aunt Qian will definitely not get away so easily this time."

Feng Jiutian smiled but remained silent.

She was probably really looking forward to seeing how Qian Wanyi would be able to explain herself this time.

However, Qian Wanyi did her a great favor this time. She was just worried about how to leave the mansion, and Qian Wanyi herself brought the opportunity to her.

This time, a dead man appeared out of nowhere in her courtyard, and even if she had a thousand mouths, she might not be able to explain it clearly.

Let alone someone as suspicious as Feng Xiangyu?

I'm afraid Qian Wanyi is already too busy with her own affairs these past few days to bother with her.

She could also take this opportunity to sneak out of the mansion.

"Qingzhi, I'm going out of the manor later. When someone brings me food later, please bring it to my room yourself and tell them not to come in and 'disturb' me while I'm reading."

Qingzhi was a clever maid, and she immediately understood the unspoken meaning behind her young mistress's words.

However, she said with some concern, "Miss, the Prime Minister's residence is heavily guarded. Do you really have to go out? You're all alone, without anyone with you. Won't that be dangerous? What if something happens to you..."

Feng Jiutian looked up and saw Qingzhi's worried eyes through the mirror.

A warm current flowed through my usually indifferent heart!

This Qingzhi is probably the only one who truly cares about 'Feng Jiutian'!

"Don't worry, I have a plan. Just do as I say." Feng Jiutian interrupted her worries with a faint smile.

Over this period of time, Qingzhi has come to understand her young mistress's personality.

Even though she was still worried, she didn't ask any more questions and left.

After Qingzhi left, Feng Jiutian went to the dressing table.

He glanced at the 'cosmetics' on the table and sighed helplessly.

It seems that in the future, for convenience, there are some things that I will need to properly purchase.

However, Feng Jiutian still sat down at the dressing table and began her amazing makeup skills!

If she could, she would prefer to just climb over the wall and go out.

But since it's broad daylight now, and the guards in the Prime Minister's residence aren't just sitting around doing nothing, they have to put in some extra effort.

After a while.

A pale-faced, thin girl dressed in a maid's uniform walked out of the main house in the East Garden, completely ignoring everyone's attention.

The entire mansion was deathly still. Everyone was in a hurry, not talking to others, quickly finishing their tasks and leaving.

No one suspected such an insignificant little girl.

Feng Jiu was only intercepted when she was about to leave the manor.

The guard at the door suddenly called out to her, "Hey! You girl, stop for a moment."

Feng Jiutian paused slightly, and when she turned around, she had put on a completely different face. Like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before, she asked nervously and stammering, "B-Big Brother, what's wrong?"

The guard glanced at her and immediately showed a somewhat disgusted expression.

He thought to himself that he must have been seeing things. How could he have thought that this maid had an air of nobility? It seems that he was indeed overthinking things.

"Let's go! Let's go!" he waved impatiently.

Once Feng Jiutian received permission, she immediately ran out without looking back. However, the way she ran was just like a timid little girl who had just entered the city, leaving no room for doubt.
