Feng Ruqing held the little maiden tightly in her arms, the corner of her lips slightly lifted.

Sunlight shone down on both of them. Covered with glistening rays of sunshine, the courtyard was extremely warm and peaceful.

***

In the inner yard of the Qin family.

Lady Qin—Wen Yu’s eyes lit up as she saw Qin Xiaoyue.

“Xiaoyue, what happened to you and Luo Fei?” Wen Yu walked up to Qin Xiaoyue, slowly.

Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyue could not help but feel resentful and gritted her teeth.

“That old fart of the Luo family is really stubborn. His daughter too is shameless. Luo Fei is nothing but an old fart who has lost his wife. It is a blessing that I am willing to marry him. Who do the people of the Luo family think they are to stop me?” Wen Yu furrowed her brows as she looked at Qin Xiaoyue resentfully.

“Xiaoyue, if Luo Fei knew that you are infertile because of the miscarriage back then, do you think he would have wanted to marry you?”

Qin Xiaoyue’s face darkened as she clenched her fists tightly. She could not get married all these years because she was infertile. In fact, she had fallen for a young master when she was young. When her father found out that the young master was powerless, he had beaten the young master to death. However, Qin Xiaoyue had slept with the young master and had gotten pregnant. She even had a miscarriage because of the whole incident.

Then, Qin Xiaoyue’s father had locked her up in a fit of anger and did not allow anyone to visit her. Only when she could no longer hold on, her father released her and got a physician to treat her.

However, the physician had actually told Qin Xiaoyue something that she could not accept—she could never bear another child for the rest of her life.

“Xiaoyue, don’t forget this. No one in this world would marry you besides Luo Fei. Well, if Luo Fei had known about this, you might never have had a chance to get married.” Wen Yu forced a smile as she said.

“Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, you can just tell me. You don’t need to beat around the bush.” Qin Xiaoyue’s face changed.

“I know that Luo Fei is giving a piece of Grade-6 rare spirit herb to Gu Yiyi as a birthday gift. Do me a favor. Replace it with poison.” Wen Yu’s eyes were full of resentment.

Panicking, Qin Xiaoyue raised her head to look at Wen Yu.

“Sister-in-law, what are you doing?”

“This is something that your brother wants you to do but he did not manage to tell you. Hence, I am here to convey his message. Don’t you ever forget how your father died. It was the old lady of the Luo family who killed him. Initially, the Luo family has lost its foothold in this realm. However, since Gu Shi has taken the helm of the Luo family, they had slowly regained its foothold.” Wen Yu sneered.

“Your brother cannot accept this. Why should the Luo family still live a carefree life? Luo Li has even hurt Fei’er’s heart in the Paramount a few days ago. Fei’er had been treating Luo Li so well but she had actually bullied Fei’er. This time, even if we could not bring the Luo family down, we must stir up a conflict between the Luo family and the manor master.”

Gu Yiyi’s birthday was a good chance. Gu Shi had never thrown Gu Yiyi a birthday party all these years. Hence, the Qin family did not have a chance to set the Luo family up. If the Luo family gifted Gu Yiyi poison on her birthday, Gu Shi would no doubt explode with rage since he cared for Gu Yiyi so much.

“But… what if we fail to frame the Luo family? Do you think that the manor master would think that the Luo family wants to harm them? They would think that someone has framed the Luo family.” Qin Xiaoyue’s lips quivered as she took a few steps backward.
