“Sister Yuqing, I have something to tell you. Let’s talk alone,” Hong’e said to Wang Yuqing.

Wang Yuqing had a bad feeling, but she dismissed the servants and sat down with Hong'e on a bench in a corner of the veranda.

"Is there anything you want to tell me, Sister Hong'e?"

Hong'e wasn't going to reveal all her secrets to Wang Yuqing yet, so she pretended to be very hesitant and said, "Although it's not very kind of me to say this, I'm more worried about Sister Yuqing's future standing in His Highness's heart, so I must tell you."

“Sister Yuqing, you can’t let Ningbi enter the future Third Prince’s mansion.”

"why?"

"Sister Yuqing, you don't know this. Ningbi's methods of bewitching men are extremely skillful. She's only been with the Third Prince for two months, and he's already swayed by her, causing a conflict with the Empress. Moreover, Ningbi has practiced martial arts since childhood and knows a little about swordsmanship. She fell ill as soon as she arrived at the Wang family; it must have been a show. When the Prince heard that Ningbi was ill, he even suspected that Sister Yuqing was mistreating her. You see, the Third Prince cares about Ningbi so much even before she has a formal title. Even Sister Yuqing, who is the future Princess Consort, is suspicious of her. If she keeps whispering in the Prince's ear day and night, what will become of Sister Yuqing's life in the Wang family..."

Wang Yuqing blinked slightly and said, "Is that so..."

“It’s absolutely true, these are my heartfelt words.” Hong’e observed that Wang Yuqing’s expression was calmer than she had expected, and a hint of displeasure flashed through her heart. “Does Sister Yuqing not believe me? I’ve heard that Sister Yuqing is gentle and kind, but that makes her easy to be plotted against by villains.”

“It’s not that I don’t believe it, but,” Wang Yuqing thought to herself, “that taking action against Ningbi during this period of time would inevitably give others grounds for criticism and make it easier to anger His Highness.”

"Don't worry about that. Your sister has a plan that will allow you to easily destroy her."

"What's the plan?"

"Sister, come closer, I'll whisper to you..."

Hong'e whispered her plan in Wang Yuqing's ear. After listening, Wang Yuqing's expression changed drastically; just hearing it made her feel uncomfortable.

That's a truly despicable and vicious tactic.

On Hong'e's first day at the Wang family, Wang Yuqing continued to teach them royal etiquette without making things too difficult for them, and they got through it peacefully.

On the second day after Hong'e arrived at the Wang family, Granny Liu tested their needlework skills. Both Lengyi and Hong'e embroidered mandarin ducks as ducks and were punished. Overall, nothing serious happened, and they got through the day peacefully.

The third day after Hong'e came to the Wang family...the fourth day...

They all got through it safely.

The seeds of doubt began to sprout in Leng Yi's heart. She thought that Wang Yuqing was one thing, but it was too strange that Hong'e could remain calm and not cause trouble for her after coming to the Wang family.

Therefore, she asked Xiaolian to secretly monitor Hong'e for a period of time at night to see what Hong'e was up to behind the scenes, but Xiaolian did not discover anything unusual.

"Miss Ningbi, I will continue to keep an eye on Miss Yuqing and Hong'e's movements, and report to you if anything unusual happens," Xiaolian said, looking at Lengyi's solemn expression.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaolian."

"Alright, just give the orders."

Leng Yi lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then looked at Xiao Lian and said, "Sister Xiao Lian, there's something I've been wanting to ask you since I came to the Wang family."

"I want to ask, how is Yunqiu now? Is she really... dead?"

"He's not dead."

"Ah." Xiaolian answered too quickly, and Lengyi couldn't process it and exclaimed, "Then why did Yunqiu and Fengxianglou lose contact?"

“Where is the disconnection? Oh,” Xiaolian suddenly realized, “It’s normal that Miss Ningbi doesn’t know. The young master plotted to seize power from the madam, and Miss Xia Hua still has many things to take over.”
