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

Looking at Feng Lingyu's expression, Qian Shi saw that beneath her feigned gentleness lay gritted teeth and anger. It was because of that woman that she had spared this wretched girl!

Having been married for over a decade, how could Qian Wanyi not know Feng Lingyu's true nature?

Although Feng Lingyu harbored deep resentment towards that woman, her place in his heart remained unchanged, only his affection for her had transformed into hatred.

Otherwise, the position of that lady would not remain unoccupied to this day.

Even though Feng Jiutian was clearly a good-for-nothing, she was still allowed to occupy the title of 'legitimate daughter'!

Just thinking about it makes my jealousy surge.

However, in front of Feng Lingyu, no matter how jealous and angry Qian Wanyi felt inside, she concealed it all with her feigned gentleness.

"So you went to Xiaoxiang Garden. You really worried Second Madam!" Qian Wanyi said with a gentle and virtuous smile, as if showing concern.

She calls herself "Second Aunt," not "Imperial Concubine."

Feng Jiutian gave her a cold look, and the moment their eyes met, the Qian mother and daughter couldn't help but shiver.

The fact that this mother and daughter were able to file a complaint with Feng Lingyu means that she must have spies planted in her courtyard.

After she moved to the main house in the South Garden, her courtyard was naturally furnished with the servants befitting a legitimate daughter: four maids and two attendants.

Those people all seemed to have been sent by Qian Wanyi.

"Yes, I heard that someone died in Aunt's courtyard this morning. I thought Aunt was already too busy to handle anything, but I didn't expect Aunt to care about me so much. Thank you so much for your concern, Aunt."

After saying that, Feng Jiutian's cold, indifferent eyes suddenly turned to look at Qian Shi with a half-smile.

The mother and daughter were stunned for a moment, and then their faces instantly turned ugly.

The scene fell silent instantly, and an unusual atmosphere filled the air.

Although the mother and daughter tried their best to remain calm, their pale faces were already showing, and a hint of panic flickered in the depths of their eyes.

They devised a plan: to assassinate Feng Jiutian, and then eliminate the assassin after the assassination, so that there would be no evidence against them.

Unexpectedly, this good-for-nothing Feng Jiutian somehow managed to escape this calamity.

What terrified them even more was that the killer's body had inexplicably appeared in their yard!

This caught them off guard, so they could only appease Feng Lingyu first, and then, after hearing the report from their informant, they came up with a solution.

That is, taking advantage of the fact that Feng Jiutian was not in his room and could not be found in the mansion, they planned to first set up a big scene to smear him, in order to shift the blame and cover up the matter.

But unexpectedly, Feng Jiutian suddenly mentioned it casually!

The mother and daughter almost instinctively looked at Feng Lingyu at the same time. They saw that the mother and daughter, who had been looking somewhat tired, suddenly had a sharp look in their eyes when they heard Feng Jiutian mention it casually.

Clearly, that matter won't be so easily forgotten.

Looking at the expressions of the mother and daughter and Feng Lingyu, Feng Jiutian's lips curled up slightly, seemingly in a pleasant mood.

That smile was clearly seen by the Qian mother and daughter, and their expressions immediately changed to surprise.

Did she do it on purpose?

So, that assassin...

No, how could Feng Jiutian, that useless person who can't cultivate, possibly kill a professional assassin?

The Qian mother and daughter initially didn't believe it, but as they thought about the changes in Feng Jiutian's behavior over the past few days, their fear grew stronger.

What if the assassin was really killed by Feng Jiutian?

Does that mean Feng Jiutian is already capable of cultivation?

By the way, the steward mentioned last time that Feng Jiutian had arrived at the Medicine Pavilion, and some of the missing medicinal herbs in the Medicine Pavilion happened to be antidotes.

Is it...

Feng Jiutian remained standing in the same spot, her long hair flowing straight down her back, her face becoming increasingly refined, and her deep black, clear eyes seemingly containing many things.

She has changed.

At this moment, Qian Wanyi finally realized that the young girl in front of her was no longer a child who could be manipulated at will.

Her eyes were like a tiger's eyes, seemingly unremarkable in ordinary times.

However, a tiger may not roar, but when it does, it will shake the mountains and forests!

What exactly caused such an amazing change in her?

Is it all because of that marriage that happened to her?

The more Qian Wanyi thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, as if everything had slipped out of her control.

Seeing the mother and daughter's panicked eyes and emotions, Feng Jiutian finally felt relieved.

If you want to cause trouble for her, you'd better be prepared to get yourself out of there!

She never likes to be taken advantage of!

……

Feng Jiutian didn't care how Qian Wanyi 'explained' to Feng Lingyu after all; she had long since given up on that scumbag father.

After saying she was going back to her room, she left the study.

However, on her way back to Nanyuan, Feng Jiutian couldn't help but think of her promise to the masked man with the sinister charm.

"I need you to kill someone for me."

"who?"

"The current emperor, the seventh prince!"

That sinister figure seemed to reappear before my eyes, especially those captivating black eyes, which were utterly eerie.

Where is he holy?

Beneath that meteor-like, moon-like aura lay an incomparably powerful presence, clearly the mark of a formidable expert who inspired fear.

But he actually ordered me to kill a helpless cripple?

Is it really just because I don't like the look of them?

This is so weird!

Moreover, there's something familiar about him... but I can't quite put my finger on what it is!

Feng Jiutian shook his head, clearing his thoughts.

Forget it, if I can't think of anything, I won't think about it anymore. I'll deal with the things in the yard first!

While pondering, I unknowingly arrived at my main house in the South Garden.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, Qingzhi, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet me.

"Miss…."

"Hmm," Feng Jiutian said in a cool, low voice; "Let's go inside and talk."

"Oh, okay." Qingzhi snapped out of her daze and immediately nodded in understanding.

The two then went inside.

After Feng Jiutian sat down, Qingzhi handed her a cup of jasmine tea and asked, "Miss, is something wrong?"

"Besides you, who else has entered my room today?" Feng Jiutian asked casually, taking a sip of tea from the cup.

Qingzhi thought for a moment and quickly remembered that the girl named Xiaohong had come into the house at noon saying she was going to tidy up.

"Yes, around noon, that maid Xiaohong came in and said she wanted to clean the house," Qingzhi replied, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes as she asked, "Miss, has something happened?"

Feng Jiutian put down his teacup and said calmly, "It's nothing, just that there's one more spy in my own courtyard."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Qingzhi's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, are you saying that Xiao Hong is...?"
