Chapter 42 - Plotting

Seeing that the furnishings in the Second Aunt's house were extremely elegant, with a purple sandalwood beauty 's bed and red flowers' brocade curtains. As he walked further in, he saw that it was a bright red silk tent, and beside it was an incense burner with blue and white flowers twining around it.

Second Aunt was indeed a good person, the furnishings in the house had a different atmosphere from the rest of the aunts.

Second Aunt was wearing a long skirt, leaning on a soft pillow embroidered with a jade core, beside him was a maid wearing a lotus color jacket, adjusting rouge.

A faint smile appeared on Qin Luofei's lips.

When the Second Aunt saw Qin Luofei's eyes looking at the box of fresh rouge, he smiled and said, "As a person who doesn't like to go out, I don't need such a gorgeous colour. How about I gift it to Fourth Miss?"

Qin Luofei did not refuse either, smiled: "Thank you, Second Aunt. It was Second Aunt who doted on me."

Qin Luofei's witty words instantly caused the atmosphere in the room to become a lot more harmonious.

Second Aunt held onto Qin Luofei's hand, allowing her to sit next to him.

Second Aunt entered the manor early, and at that time, she was still under the control of Qin Luofei's mother, Mrs. Zhang.

"Fourth Miss, how come you're free to come to my place?"

Qin Luofei took one of the candied fruits offered to her and said, "I heard that Seventh Madame slipped and fainted because of sadness."

The Seventh Madame's personality in the courtyard was not very pleasing, to the point there weren't many people who felt sorry for her.

"I heard that too." Second Aunt also took a candied fruit and put it in her mouth.

"But I feel that this is the Aunt Rong's method." In front of smart people, there was no need to lie.

Second Aunt also guessed that it was Aunt Rong's method, but she did not expect Fourth Miss to directly say it out loud, so she quickly waved her hand towards the maidservant who was making up the rouge.

Seeing that the maid had walked out of the house, he said softly: "Fourth Miss, what are you saying?"

If he did not explain the formidable relationship between them, the Second Aunt would probably not help him.

"Second Aunt has also seen Aunt Rong's methods. Not only did she attack Seventh Madame, even Luo Fei had discovered her people. If it wasn't for Luo Fei's caution, she probably would've found her too. I know that the Second Aunt is not a nosy person, but based on her greedy personality, she probably won't tolerate the Second Aunt … Third Aunt's. "

Others might not know about the relationship between the Second Aunt and herself, but she knew that the Second Aunt and the Third Aunt's courtyard used to be right next to each other.

"Fourth Miss, this matter is under the care of the Mrs. Meng." Second Aunt was a cautious person, he did not want to get into this mess.

Qin Luofei sneered as she stood up, saying, "Could it be, even Second Aunt is not moved by her actions?"

Qin Luofei turned around and left immediately, Second Aunt's face alternating between red and white.

Qin Luofei had suspected long ago that the Second Miss was the Second Aunt's child, but without solid evidence, coupled with the fact that the Mrs. Meng was so intolerable, she definitely would not treat the children of others well.

However, Qin Luofei found out that Second Aunt was pregnant with Mrs. Meng back then, and there was naturally a problem with that.

No matter how dull the attitude of the Second Aunt was, she would not ignore the Second Miss.

That evening, when Qin Luofei came back from Second Aunt's courtyard, she heard that General Qin had immediately gone to Second Aunt's courtyard.

Second Aunt's hands and feet went nimble.

If Qin Luofei was allowed to choose, she would rather her good sister enter the palace for the talent show. Rong Yu would not be easy to get along with.

In the evening, the General Qin sent a message that the talent show would be held ten days later.

She knew that the Jade Flower Princess's banquet was her only chance.

Not only did the old lady promise to bring Qin Luofei to the banquet, she also brought Rong Yu and the Second Miss.

Qin Luofei completely understood the Old Granny's thoughts, and even Mrs. Meng was able to guess a few points. She couldn't help but become more and more resentful towards the Rong Sisters, and intentionally or unintentionally ridiculed them.

The few concubines were also united as before as they stood in unison against the Aunt Rong.

Just before he was about to participate in the Jade Flower Princess's banquet, the Qin family's Seventh Madame jumped into the lake and committed suicide.

General Qin did not even look around and only ordered his men to bury him quietly.

Such a beautiful woman had disappeared just like that.

For a family like the Qin Manor, even if an aunt were to die, it would be a small matter. When Qin Luofei heard this, she was stunned for a moment before letting Xi Hua take the silver and secretly instruct the servants to buy a set of good coffins for the Seventh Madame.

If he had personally saved Seventh Madame that day, perhaps there wouldn't be such a thing as today, but he wouldn't be able to protect her for the rest of his life.

On the second day, Jade Flower Princess specially sent carriages to welcome the old lady.

Qin Luofei packed properly and went to the Mrs. Meng first.

Mrs. Meng had a headache today and did not go to greet the old lady.

When Qin Luofei entered the courtyard, she saw that the Second Miss's personal maidservant was also present. She was currently whispering something to the Mrs. Meng's maidservant, Qin'er.

The servant girl from the Mrs. Meng, Qin'er, raised her head. When she saw Qin Luofei, she quickly said with a smile, "The fourth miss has come. Is Madame at the Western Warm Pavilion?"

Qin Luofei opened the curtain of the jade-green silk, and saw Mrs. Meng sitting on the peony with a narrow bed, and Second Miss sitting beside her. Both of their faces were slightly gloomy.

"Mother, you're better now. Did you get another headache?" Qin Luofei smiled as she walked to the side of Mrs. Meng.

The Mrs. Meng had always disliked the Fourth Miss, but now, she disliked the Rong sisters even more. Even if Qin Luofei disliked her, she would not be a threat to her wife's position.

Second Miss Qin Luoyu was dressed in a particularly gorgeous attire. She was dressed in a Su Jin Yun's Pear Blossom Pear Blossom Pendant, with a light yellow tasseled around her waist. Her slim waist could not be held tightly.

She was originally a beauty, but the way she was dressed made her even more attractive.

Qin Luoyu's eyes were also carefully sizing up Qin Luofei as they saw her dress full of smoke and clouds. He had tied her sleeves with water patterns and tied her sleeves with a pear pattern, making them look as light as the clouds and as beautiful as the moon. His hair was tied into a Spirit Serpent bun, giving him a fresher appearance than usual.

Most girls who were good-looking could not tolerate other girls being prettier than her, but she felt that this Fourth Sister was slowly opening up and becoming more and more beautiful.

"Do it!" It's all an old problem that can't be stopped. " It seemed like the impact that the Aunt Rong had on the Mrs. Meng was great, causing her to look dispirited.

"Mother, are you sad about the Seventh Madame? Why did the Seventh Madame jump into the lake so easily? That child was also lost. " Qin Luofei sighed lightly.

This was the heart of the Mrs. Meng, she did not believe that a person like him would be able to jump into the lake.

Had she done it?

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Qin Luofei stood up and said, "Second sister, I think the old lady is in a hurry. Let's go over!"

"Alright, rest well mother." Qin Luoyu stood up and followed Qin Luofei out of the room.

The two of them brought their personal maidservants with them.

Before he could even reach the entrance of the courtyard, he saw the old lady bringing along her two servants and Rong Yu as they walked out.

Rong Yu had dressed up very beautifully today, and her entire body was covered with Zhu Yu.

A few beads of cloth were inserted into her head, and she slowly drooped down, covering half of her forehead, making her seem even more mysterious.

Qin Luofei snickered from the bottom of her heart. You have been staying in the Rong family well, yet you insisted on coming to the Qin family to use some tricks. Today, you will definitely die without a chance to return.

"Yu'er... Fei Er, you two come over. Rong'er and I will take a carriage and you two take one. " The old lady was already old, so she started to love these two grandsons and granddaughters from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, Grandmother." Qin Luofei reached out to support the old lady, but Qin Luoyu's face was gloomy, and did not even dare to move an inch.

The old lady looked up and down at Qin Luofei's clothes. The color was a bit light, but it could still be considered luxurious. The hairpin she picked was also expensive.

A few people left the mansion and got into separate carriages.

Qin Luoyu kept a dark face the entire way, and did not speak a word.

Qin Luofei leaned on the carriage as she slightly closed her eyes. After a long time, she opened them and said with a frown, "This is powdered up by some ignorant maid. Don't you know that the current emperor hates the taste of pear blossoms the most?" I heard that last time, there was a concubine who was sent to the Cold Palace by the Emperor because he smeared the Pear Blossom's scented powder on them. "

As soon as Qin Luofei finished speaking, Qin Luoyu's eyes flashed with a bright light.

Qin Luofei acted as if she didn't notice as she took out the other powders from her bag and threw them on top of her body. She muttered, "These damn servants, if Big Sister and I get scolded, we'll definitely punish them well."

Qin Luoyu closed his eyes and meditated.

When they arrived at Jade Flower Princess's courtyard, there were already many luxurious carriages parked at the entrance.

Qin Luofei got down from the carriage with the support of Chrysanthemum, then helped the old lady and Rong Yu down. Just as she turned around, she saw the Fifth Prince and a few servants riding over.

Qin Luofei only did things she couldn't see.

Old Lady Qin recognized Fifth Prince and Seventh Prince and quickly went over to pay his respects, forcing Qin Luofei to follow suit.

Seventh Prince looked at him sinisterly. He glared back at him with all his might. She had yet to settle the score with him about the matter with Qin Manor. He had a look of someone owing him silver.

"Fourth Miss, long time no see." Today, Fifth Prince was dressed in a crescent moon-colored gown, which made his seem even more outstanding.

"Good morning, Fifth Prince." Qin Luofei bowed in all seriousness.

This Qin family's Fourth Miss was becoming more and more interesting, and Fifth Prince's eyes swept across Qin Luofeng without leaving a trace behind.

When Rong Yu saw Seventh Prince and Fifth Prince looking straight at Qin Luofei, she could not help but feel hatred in her heart.

It was obvious that the two with the most outstanding looks were Qin Luoyu and her, but why did it have to be her that people liked his the most?

Qin Luoyu was depressed today, so he took the opportunity to stand beside Rong Yu while a few people were talking.

"Both princes, please enter." Old Lady Qin was puzzled when he saw that both of the Duke and Duke were looking at Qin Luofei.

"Please, Matriarch." Seventh Prince opened up a path, to let Old Madam Qin pass first.

One of Jade Flower Princess's personal palace maids, Su Jin, was already waiting for the Old Madam at the entrance. When she saw the Old Madam, she welcomed her with a smile, one hand supporting the Old Madam as she said, "Old Madam, the princess invites the Old Madam to go to the back hall for some snacks first."
