Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

Looking at the handkerchief in Yue Qi's hand, he instantly understood many things. He figured that the handkerchief was deliberately dropped on the ground by Xiao Fengyi as a way to expose Xiao Qingyin and Feng Mingjing's affair.

Perhaps it wasn't the maid who bumped into Xiao Fengyi, but rather Xiao Fengyi who deliberately bumped into the maid.

After Feng Xingye understood the whole story, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Fengyi a few more times.

She's only fifteen, yet she's so cunning; she's definitely not to be underestimated.

After Yue Qi finished describing the painting on the handkerchief, she said, "The embroidery on this seems to depict a moonlit lake, with a man and a woman boating on it, and there's also a line of poetry."

Xiao Qishan laughed and said, "It looks like a token exchanged between a man and a woman in secret?"

Private transactions?

When Xiao Qingyin heard Yue Qi describe the handkerchief embroidery and poems, she felt that they might be related to her and Feng Mingjing.

She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, looked at Feng Mingjing who was drinking alone, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

In the end how to do?

"Duke Xiao, the signature on this is Mingjing and Qingyin."

A clear mirror, a pure sound.

The wind is clear and bright, the sound of flutes is melodious.

Now everyone in the hall looked at the Seventh Prince and the Second Miss Xiao.

"So it was the two of them."

"No wonder their duet was so harmonious."

Immediately, a prince said, "So Seventh Brother likes Second Miss, which is why he plays with her. I thought he liked Xiao Fengyi."

"It seems that Seventh Brother really doesn't care about the throne."

"Perhaps the eldest daughter of the Xiao family knows that her younger sister likes the Seventh Prince and wants to help her achieve her goal, which is why she doesn't appear in the banquet hall."

Lady Ye glanced at Qingyin and thought to herself, "No wonder she doesn't like my nephew. It turns out she has her eye on the Seventh Prince." She changed her tune and said, "It seems I misunderstood the eldest young lady. Did she already know that the second young lady liked the Seventh Prince?"

Upon hearing these words, Feng Mingjing finally sobered up.

Who said he doesn't care about the throne?

Upon hearing that the handkerchief belonged to Qingyin, Xiao Qishan instantly became much more alert.

Family scandals should not be aired in public; it was incredibly shameful for my daughter to have married a prince.

Qingyin and Fengyi are different. Fengyi has the protection of the Phoenix Fate, making it impossible for her to choose.

If the Seventh Prince doesn't want Qingyin, who else would dare to want her?

"Qingyin, come out." Xiao Qishan became angrier the more he thought about it.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyin immediately went around the screen and gracefully walked to the center of the banquet hall.

"Your Majesty!"

In front of everyone, Xiao Qingyin knelt pitifully before Xiao Qishan, involuntarily glancing at Feng Mingjing.

"Qingyin, tell me, is this handkerchief yours or not?"

Xiao Qishan desperately wanted his beloved daughter to say no, that it was just a misunderstanding, so that he could clarify things for his youngest daughter in public.

But when Xiao Qishan saw the way Qingyin looked at Feng Mingjing, he knew that this was not a misunderstanding.

"Duke Xiao, I do indeed like Qingyin."

Feng Mingjing couldn't stand her gaze, so he walked to the middle of the banquet hall and helped Xiao Qingyin up.

It's not that he doesn't care about the throne, but he cares more about Qingyin.

After seeing Feng Mingjing acknowledge their relationship, Qingyin also admitted, "Father, I do indeed like the Seventh Prince."

What a perfect couple!

When the masked Xiao Fengyi stood on the stage and danced with her sword, she saw this scene and exchanged a glance with Zi Hua for a moment.

I don't know what Xiao Qishan will do, I'm afraid of Xiao Qingyin and Feng Mingjing, but she has finally managed to get rid of Feng Mingjing's entanglement.

After the banquet, Xiao Fengyi returned to her room without letting Zihua follow her, where she encountered Feng Xingye, who had been waiting for her.

She had changed out of her dancer's attire and bowed to the man, saying, "Your Highness, Prince Zhao."

The man stood upright in the garden of Changyi Courtyard. "It's time to administer acupuncture today."

Xiao Fengyi said directly, "Please come with me, Your Highness."

Inside the room, after the acupuncture treatment was completed, the woman carefully put away all the silver needles.

"I can see that you want to get rid of Feng Mingjing."

Xiao Fengyi admired the man's ability to see through things. "Since Your Highness has realized that I don't like the Seventh Prince, there's no need to ask any more questions."

The man took her hand, his tone inquiring.

"But I heard that you used to like the seventh brother a lot. Why did you change your attitude so quickly? Don't tell me that you gave up because you found out that your sister also liked him."

Xiao Fengyi felt the probing gaze of the man in front of her. She could sense that he was investigating her, but as a reborn person, she couldn't say anything, and even if she did, he wouldn't believe her.

“Your Highness, we are just doctor and patient. I don’t think it’s necessary to tell you anything else.”

Feng Xingye grabbed the woman's chin, forcing her closer to him. "Xiao Fengyi, you are really stubborn."

After the man shook off his pointed chin, he left.

Xiao Fengyi sat on the ground, watching his tall, receding figure, and took a deep breath.

"Reborn into this world, I will never let anyone control me."

Half a month later, Xiao Fengyi had recovered enough and prepared to move out of Changyi Courtyard.

One day, when paying her respects, Xiao Fengyi brought up this matter. Liu wanted her to stay a few more days, but she still refused.

"I can't just stay here with my grandmother forever." If she continues to stay, Madam Shen will definitely continue to deduct her allowance.

After her rebirth, Xiao Fengyi felt that she needed to have some money on hand for self-defense.

Seeing that she insisted, Liu did not force her, "Then when you have recovered, go back to Qingya Courtyard."

Xiao Fengyi curtsied and said, "Thank you, Grandmother, for taking care of me these past few days."

"So nice."

Seeing Xiao Fengyi's composed and dignified demeanor always reminded Liu of her own youth, and thus she always held a slight preference for her.

That day, after Xiao Fengyi left, she happened to run into Xiao Qingyin who came to pay her respects.

Since her affair with the Seventh Prince was exposed, Xiao Qingyin has straightened her back considerably and pretends not to see Xiao Fengyi passing by on the roadside.

Xiao Fengyi was also happy to have some free time.

Unexpectedly, she returned to her room to pack her bags, preparing to leave after having lunch with her grandmother.

As soon as she entered the hall, she heard the old nanny talking about the old lady's vomiting and diarrhea during her bedchamber service.

According to the physician, the symptoms were exactly the same as those of my grandmother's mysterious death in her previous life.

"The old lady was fine this morning, but she vomited and had diarrhea, felt dizzy, and is now unconscious. I don't know what she ate."

Xiao Fengyi found it strange. "Grandmother ate the same food as us this morning, so it shouldn't be food poisoning. She was chatting and laughing when we greeted her in the morning, so how could she have lost consciousness by noon?"

The physician told her his concerns, "Miss, I noticed that the old lady's fingertips are bluish-purple, which seems to be a sign of poisoning."

Poisoning?

Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Fengyi looked at the physician in astonishment.

"Who poisoned me?"

The physician was unsure, but Xiao Fengyi suddenly thought of someone.

Xiao Qingyin.

She visited her grandmother this morning.

Thinking back to her previous life, when the old lady also passed away suddenly after meeting Xiao Qingyin, she became increasingly suspicious of the truth.

Could it be that... Grandmother was killed by Xiao Qingyin in her past life?

No, she must prevent this tragedy from happening in this lifetime!
