The fifth lady against the sky

Chapter 164 The Conspiracy Begins (3)
Ouyang Yanniang put away her thoughts, touched Feng Mulei's head, and smiled softly: "Are you back from school? Auntie has nothing to do, how is your study today?"

Feng Mulei said with a smile: "I met my father just now, and my father said that I worked hard and did not disappoint him. My mother gave me 200 taels of silver and said it was a reward for me."

When Ouyang Yanniang heard the word "mother", her heart ached, because she was a concubine, and even the son she gave birth to could not be called her mother but only aunt.Concealing the loneliness on her face, Ouyang Yanniang smiled and said: "Sure enough, Lei'er has become a lot more sensible just after growing up one year old, Auntie is very happy."

Feng Mulei helped Ouyang Yanniang up from the reclining chair, and said with a smile: "It was my birthday a few days ago, and my fifth sister knew that my son likes to collect inkstones, so I gave my son two very expensive and rare inkstones. My son guessed that it was worth 1 yuan. Two silver coins, brothers and sisters also gave my son birthday presents."

Ouyang Yanniang nodded faintly, seeing the smile on Feng Mulei's face.Thinking about what to do in a few days, he tentatively asked, "Lei'er, do you think the status of a bastard is a joke?"

Feng Mulei wondered why this question was suddenly asked, and said in confusion: "Auntie, why did you ask this question suddenly, although my son is a concubine, he is not as careful as other concubines in the house, mother treats her son very well, grandparents I also treat my son the same as my elder brothers, and my son doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it. The son will definitely get a good grade in the exam and earn a royal order for his mother.”

Ouyang Yanniang nodded, "It's okay, Auntie is just asking, Lei'er, go back quickly. Don't catch a cold when you sleep at night."

"Well, my son is going back first, and I will visit my aunt tomorrow."

Ouyang Yanniang suddenly didn't know what to do, yes, except that she was not favored by her husband, Lei'er was not wronged in the general's mansion, and her life was several times better than other bastards.If he really failed, Lei'er would definitely be implicated, and maybe he would even hate himself.But if I don't follow their requirements, I won't let myself and Lei'er go.

Seeing Ouyang Yanniang standing at the door in a daze, Xiaohua walked up and said worriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you."

Ouyang Yanniang looked up at Xiaohua who had been by your side for the past few years, and said, "Xiaohua, we have been dependent on each other for the past few years, and I have always regarded you as my younger sister. Tell me the truth, is it right for me to do this?" , in order to give Lei'er the status of a legitimate son, and for the position of the eldest lady."

Xiao Hua bit the corner of her lips in embarrassment, and asked in embarrassment: "Master, do you want to hear the truth?"

Ouyang Yanniang nodded solemnly.Xiao Hua looked at death like home and said: "Master, if Xiao Hua were you, Xiao Hua would never do this. The third young master is living a very good and happy life now, and the third young master is very smart and will definitely rely on his own ability to obtain fame. Since the last time we poisoned, Xiaoyao Pavilion must have stepped up its defenses, maybe waiting for us to fall into the trap. If we fail, what will the third young master do? How can the other young masters and young ladies be treated the same as before? The third young master. The third young master is a kind-hearted person. It is not guaranteed that the third young master will hate the master after knowing the truth. Master, why are we not like the aunt, let alone contented and happy."

Ouyang Yanniang frowned and said, "But if we don't follow their orders, they won't let me and Lei'er go."

"Master, the only way is to go to the uncle to confess the truth. However, if this is the case, the master will definitely be punished. Whether it is life or death, Xiaohua will definitely follow the master. The eldest lady and the old lady are both kind-hearted people, maybe will bypass us."

Ouyang Yanniang thought of how Feng Zewen doted on Feng Muxie, if she knew that she was the one who almost killed Feng Muxie back then, how could she survive.Ouyang Yanniang waved her hands with a headache, and went straight back to the inner room to lie down.Xiaohua also knew that her master was thinking calmly and did not follow up to disturb him.

Ouyang Yanniang lay quietly on the bed, hesitating what to do.I have now entered a dilemma. One step forward is a cliff, and one step back is a cliff.If Feng Muxie was poisoned to death according to the other party's request, she was just a woman with no strength to restrain her. If the other party wanted to kill people to silence her, she would have to be slaughtered.If he confessed everything to the uncle, then perhaps he could die with dignity because of that little affection.Ouyang Yanniang took a deep breath and made an important decision in her heart.

In the middle of the night, the winding branches are blowing with the wind under the moonlight, and only the chirping of insects can be heard in the quiet night.

In the darkroom of Qixia Palace, Li Xiangyun is reclining on a soft couch carved with phoenix wings. Only the queen can use the phoenix pattern, but Li Xiangyun's dream is to sit on the throne of the queen. Every object in the darkroom is decorated with With a phoenix pattern.She was only wearing a translucent crescent nightgown embroidered with fiery red peonies.The collar of the nightgown was half open, revealing a white thigh under the nightgown.Fingers painted with Danko supported her forehead.If he raises his orchid fingers again and calls out in a flattering voice, "Come on, come on, young master." Even the oiran in the brothel would be willing to bow down.

Opposite Li Xiangyun, there was a man kneeling on one knee. Even though he was beautiful, he just lowered his head respectfully, and he didn't dare to look at Li Xiangyun above him.

Li Xiangyun gently blew on his fingers, and said slowly: "How's the matter?"

The man's face was expressionless, and he said respectfully: "The Prime Minister has notified the Cui family. The Cui family has now started to suppress the Feng Group. The young master Cui has blindly lowered the price these days, and the shops related to the Feng Group have followed suit. People everywhere It's all crazy buying. Mr. Xiang said that Young Master Cui will arrange everything and will definitely wipe out the Feng Group's industry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

The corner of Li Xiangyun's mouth curled up into a sneer, and he said with a low smile, "Okay, very good, it's finally started, and it's a good deal for them to live for a few years. Where's that dead girl of the Feng family?"

"Master Xiang ordered his subordinates to give the poison to Feng Zewen's second aunt, and asked her to put the poison on Feng Muxie. However, this poison will not kill you in a short time, it will only erode your whole body every once in a while. Pain in the bones. Master Xiang said that Feng Muxie can be used to blackmail Prince Li at critical times."
