"The honored tutor left behind the catalpa tree just like that? "It shouldn't be appropriate …" She knew that it would be harmful if Xiao Yuxuan and Duan Jingyang met, but in order to win Xiao Yuxuan's gratitude, she was willing to make a mistake. Of course, this was on the premise that Xiao Yuxuan and Duan Jingyang wouldn't be able to play any tricks!

"Yuxuan has lost his composure …" "Princess, please come in. Yuxuan will give you the complete title of 'Butterfly Flower' …" Avoiding Duan Zitong's burning gaze, Xiao Yuxuan turned around and walked to the table. He picked up the brush and began to brush the ink!

At the side, Duan Zitong looked at Xiao Yuxuan, who looked like a direct descendant of immortals. That fanatical possessiveness engulfed her entire body like a venomous snake. She swore to himself that he would definitely obtain Xiao Yuxuan.

Early in the morning, the night mist gradually began to dissipate. The sky was slightly blue, and the stars seemed to hide behind the thin gauze, faintly discernible!

Around breakfast time, Duan Mu Yan walked into the main hall.

"Princess, please have a meal!" Steward Zhou respectfully greeted sher when he saw her enter. Before she left, he had told himself that he must do his best to take care of Princess Hua-Yang.

"Mm …" Where's the Prince? " Duan Mu Yan surveyed her surroundings, but there was no sign of Mo Jingfeng!

"Reporting to the Royal Consort … Your Highness should be arriving soon! " Housekeeper Zhou said, but he didn't think much of it. Normally, the Qi King should have already arrived!

After sitting for almost an hour, Xiao Jingfeng still had not appeared.

"Housekeeper Zhou, the prince, he …" Just as Duan Mu Yan was speaking, Su Jin Xiu walked in with lazy steps!

"Housekeeper Zhou!" "Ah, you are here, but it will be easy for me to find you. From now on, the prince's meals will be delivered directly to his room. The prince says that he doesn't like to eat with those who hate him!" With a disdainful glare, she glanced at Duan Mu Yan before turning around to leave!

"Embroidery..." Has Your Highness ever eaten? " Duan Mu Yan slowly rose up as her beautiful eyes dimmed. She knew that Xiao Jin Feng rejected her, but she didn't expect him to reject her so much!

"Ha!" Dining? I'm so angry! " Su Jin Xiu's coquettish voice came out as Qiu Yue took a step forward.

"Embroidery elder sister, don't forget who you're talking to!" Her tender voice carried a trace of reprimand as Qiu Yue furiously looked at Su Jin Xiu!

"Ugh …" "Esteemed wangfei, don't misunderstand. These are the words of the prince. I'm just speaking the truth …" The coldness in Su Jin Xiu's eyes disappeared as she spoke with a wronged expression!

"It's fine, I'll have to trouble you to tell your highness that Mu Yan will be eating in her room from now on …" Yue Er, let's go! " A faint light flickered in Duan Mu Yan's eyes, as a trace of gloom flashed past. She originally didn't have any intentions, so why would she care about Xiao Jin Feng's attitude?

Seeing Duan Mu Yan's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Housekeeper Zhou walked up to Su Jin Xiu and coldly spoke.

"Embroidery!" In the end, she's still a side concubine, so pay attention to your tone! " Housekeeper Zhou's words were just a slight reprimand to Su Jin Xiu!

"Housekeeper Zhou is right. Embroidery knows her mistake …" Su Jin Xiu was very clear about Housekeeper Zhou's position in the Xiao family. If it wasn't necessary, she wouldn't easily anger Housekeeper Zhou, so there was no harm in saying a few soft words!

"As long as you know your wrongs …" Steward Zhou sighed deeply as he walked away, unable to stop himself from sighing.

When they returned to the bedroom, Qiu Yue couldn't help but ask.

"Princess, it's not that Yue Er is blabbermouth, the old prince has already passed the three foot long dragon staff to you. With the situation just now, you're not going to punish Su Jin Xiu lightly, and she's not going to put you in her eyes anymore!"

Duan Mu Yan pursed her lips and smiled, a trace of bitterness flashing past her eyes.

"Forget it, she said she had no intention. Why should I care about her? Just let her be …" It wasn't that Duan Moyan didn't feel Su Jin's hostility, but she was clear that she and Xiao Jin Feng were like an arrow on a bow. Just a small matter could reduce their relationship to a freezing point, and this was something she didn't want to see!

"Royal Consort … There are some things that Yue'er doesn't know whether she should say or not... If I'm wrong... "Esteemed wangfei, don't blame Yue'er …" Qiu Yue's clear eyes flashed, and she spoke sincerely!

"Why would I blame you!? "In this Xiao family, you are my only friend …" Seeing Qiu Yue wanting to say something, Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but find it funny. In her eyes, Yue Er was still a child!

"Actually... Yue'er could tell that the wangfei also had a king in her heart. Since that's the case, why didn't you run away from the king so that you wouldn't have to suffer for no reason here … These days, your days at the Xiao manor have been difficult. Due to the relationship with the Qi King, the servants of the manor did not dare to get too close to the princess. Previously, the old prince was still alright and could uphold justice for you, but now that the old prince has left, who will protect you! " As Qiu Yue spoke, her eyes moistened and her voice choked with emotions.

"Stupid Yue'er!" What's going on … Didn't you just say that I still have a three-foot-long dragon staff? No one will do anything to me with it! I can protect myself, and I can also protect Yue Er! Don't worry... "Don't cry …" When Duan Mu Yan saw Yue'er like this, a trace of astonishment and gratitude flashed past her heart!

Duan Mu Yan thought that her retreat and patience would be able to slowly dispel the hatred in Xiao Jin Feng's heart. Even if she couldn't, she wouldn't have any more problems. However, things went contrary to her wishes.

On the left side of the kitchen, Xiao Jingfeng carefully opened the carved red pine wood cabinet. However, in the next moment, his expression became exceptionally unsightly!

"Old Li!" Xiao Jin Feng's cold voice was laced with anger, and his cold eyes turned serious. He called the kitchen manager over and pointed at the dishes in the cupboard!

"What's going on!?" Why are there less than half of Princess Hua-Yang's chopsticks? " After Chu Shirou had passed away, Xiao Lingfeng had washed and dried the dishes she usually used with his own hands and placed them in the cupboard, not allowing anyone to touch them!

"This... This old servant does not know that he has never touched the things here! " When Li Ping saw that several bowls were missing from the cabinet, he was shocked!

"Don't know?!" Who was in charge of this kitchen! You don't even know what's missing?! If you can't say it, then you don't need to stay any longer! " Xiao Jin Feng's black eyes were like daggers as he glared at Li Ping!

"Ugh …" This old servant deserves to die … Just now … Just now, the secondary concubine came over to say that she was here to get lunch. This old servant is busy … "So …" Li Ping saw that Xiao Lingfeng was angered and answered truthfully, but he was curious in his heart. He was looking at the bowl and chopsticks at the bottom that the secondary wife was holding, and thought that he shouldn't make a mistake, but aside from the secondary wife, everyone in the Xiao family knew that the tableware could not be touched without the permission of the Qi King!

Before Li Ping could finish speaking, Xiao Lingfeng had already left the kitchen in a fit of rage and was rushing towards Duan Mu Yan's room.

In the bedroom.

"You are an imperial concubine, how can you go into the kitchen! If the servants saw this, they would point it out again! It's all Yue'er's fault. Who knows if she's eaten the wrong thing these past few days! "It's always a problem!" Qiu Yue looked at the dishes on the table and could not help but feel guilty!

"Isn't it the same no matter who it is? Since it's just the two of us, there's no need to divide it up!" As for others … Let them be... Sit down, it's getting cold! "Come here, your stomach hasn't been feeling well these past two days. I've specially ordered the kitchen to make some light food!" As she spoke, Duan Mu Yan personally scooped a bowl of porridge and passed it to Qiu Yue!

"Thank you, esteemed wangfei …" Looking at the hot porridge that Duan Mu Yan passed over, Qiu Yue's eyes reddened and a warm feeling flowed through her heart. This was the first time someone had served porridge to her since she was young, but just as Qiu Yue was about to receive the bowl, she suddenly felt that the bowl was extremely familiar!

"Crap!" "Esteemed wangfei's bowl …" Without waiting for Qiu Yue to finish speaking, the door was kicked open by someone from outside. With a 'pah' sound, Duan Mu Yan's hands subconsciously trembled, and a crisp sound rang out as the porcelain bowl fell to the ground.

The moment Xiao Jin Feng barged in, he saw Chu Shi Rou's favorite porcelain bowl crash to the ground like a piece of glass. At this moment, the image of Chu Shi Rou's pale, snow-white face suddenly appeared in her mind, lying on her bed without any signs of life, just like this bowl of fate!

His heart felt as though it had been pierced by a sharp blade. Xiao Jin Feng's gaze chilled as he rushed forward, rushing towards Duan Mu Yan. However, he was stopped by Qiu Yue kneeling on the ground!

"Prince, please calm your anger. It was Yue Er who deserved to die. She forgot the rules of the manor and mistakenly gave her main wife's porcelain bowl to her mistress. Yue Er's wrong wife didn't know about this …" Prince … "Ugh …" Before Yue'er could finish her sentence, her entire body was thrown aside by Xiao Lingfeng. Like a fallen leaf in the wind, she smashed into the wall, causing blood to flow out from her forehead.

"Yue Er …" Duan Mu Yan looked at Qiu Yue, who was convulsing on the ground, and was about to rush forward to support her when Xiao Jin Feng viciously grabbed her by the wrist!

"What?!" He didn't dare to accept the honor of doing so! And I need a maid to take the blame for you! " Her bone-piercing voice caused Duan Mu Yan to tremble involuntarily. At this moment, Xiao Jin Feng was like a devil from hell, his entire body exuding a dangerous aura. His black eyes narrowed slightly, exuding an incomparably sinister coldness!

"I don't know what Your Highness is talking about, but I beg Your Highness to let go. Yue Er, she …" Duan Mu Yan frowned, but Qiu Yue's body was still trembling uncontrollably. If she didn't treat him soon, she was afraid that Qiu Yue wouldn't be able to take it! But how could she know that she could no longer protect herself?!

Hearing these words, Xiao Jin Feng ignored Duan Mu Yan's struggling and used his hand to smash her jaw against the wall!

"Don't know?!" How could you not know?! Didn't anyone tell you that this porcelain bowl only belongs to Shi Rou?! No one will tell you that other than This King, no one is allowed to touch it! How dare you shatter it! You deserve to die! " Xiao Jin Feng ruthlessly spoke, his voice was filled with rage, his icy blade like voice entering Duan Mu Yan's ears one word at a time!

As the strength in her hands increased, Duan Mu Yan felt as though her lower jaw was being squeezed by a pair of iron pincers. In an instant, it felt as though her jaw was about to shatter! That extreme pain caused Duan Mu Yan to be unable to restrain herself from moaning!

"Ugh …" Painful... I deserve to die... I deserve to die... Then strangle me … I just want you to save Yue'er … She is innocent … " Duan Mu Yan slowly closed her eyes and died … She had never been afraid, and there was even a hint of expectation, mufei … Waiting for Mu Yan.

Tears quietly flowed down her face. The moment she closed her eyes, a hint of a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her lips. So sad, so lonely, so unable to enter Xiao Jingfeng's eyes!

Just as Xiao Lingfeng was about to increase his strength to help her, suddenly, a tear fell on his hand. The scalding heat, which was similar to magma, suddenly awakened Xiao Lingfeng's consciousness!

"You want to die?!" It's not that easy! "

Xiao Lingfeng suddenly flung out his hand, and that figure fell to the ground like a messy leaf falling from the wind!

Blood immediately flowed out from Duan Mu Yan's forehead. It was so dazzling, so glaring, and the blood slowly flowed down along her unparalleled beauty into her collarbone, turning into a life-stealing mana ball. It was extremely shocking!

"Ugh …" Yue Er … Yue Er … "Sorry …"

Duan Moyan ignored the pain in her forehead and used all her strength to crawl towards the unconscious Yue'er! He didn't even spare Xiao Lingfeng a glance!
