Chapter 60  : Brewing Spirit Wine I

The facial expressions of Zhan Yang and the others shifted slightly. Was Feng Ruqing really helping them sincerely? She might use this prescription to harm Nalan Dai’er.

Feng Ruqing left after saying this. The people stared blankly in the direction where she had taken her leave.

“I feel that Feng Ruqing is slightly different now,” Mu Qing’er frowned and whispered softly.

For they knew that Feng Ruqing would surely burst into anger when she overheard their gossips. But, why was she so calm today?

Everyone fell silent.

All the people present were young masters and young mistresses that have encountered Feng Ruqing. They knew exactly what this villain was like before. However, it seemed that Feng Ruqing’s perversion now had disappeared and they did not hate her as much as before.

“Should we try the solution Feng Ruqing suggested?” Lin Yueying hesitated for a while before asking them.

Zhao Yang shook his head and said, “Even if she has changed, she is still the old her who was bad in academics and martial arts. It’s impossible that she could cure Nalan Dai’er. It’ll be better if we rely on Feng Rushuang.”

Feng Ruqing did so many evil deeds before. He still could not believe her for now. Feng Rushuang who had been nice all the while was much reliable compared to Feng Ruqing.

Feng Ruqing returned to the princess’s manor after leaving Paramount. The spirit herbs which she had planted before were quite mature now. She could use those herbs to brew spirit wine.

After completing the task of brewing the spirit wine, she put the wine in the cellar. She wiped the sweat on her forehead and smiled brightly.

“The spirit wine will be ready in almost half a month. I’ll have an excuse to visit the General Manor by then.”

She sighed after remembering what an awful mess the previous owner had left for her.

Luckily, the state preceptor did not have any bad impression on her. If not, she would not be able to enter the Southern Bamboo Grove. It would be impossible to sleep with him then.

“By the way, I should be grateful for Noble Consort Rong. If Noble Consort Rong did not threaten the original Feng Ruqing, she would not have lowered her head and walked away when she saw the state preceptor. If she took favor upon the state preceptor after looking at his beautiful face, she would no doubt prey on him like hungry wolves preying on food.”

Feng Ruqing’s eyes narrowed as she thought that she really should thank her when it was time.

“But, the state preceptor had left for so many days and the day of his return is unknown.”

She missed the state preceptor so much. But what could she do?

Feng Ruqing’s eyes lit up. Suddenly, her lips raised in a smile and as she touched her chin. “I can still go and chat with the little snake even if I cannot meet the state preceptor. I have not entered the palace for several days and the state preceptor is not in Southern Bamboo Grove either. The little snake must feel bored and it must be missing me too.”

***

Southern Bamboo Grove. Something unknown was seen. It was the azure snake which was taking a bath in the lake sneezed uncontrollably. It felt that there was a chill down its spine and it seemed that someone was talking about it.

When the azure snake was in doubt, a huge silhouette suddenly appeared in front of it. It was so startled that it nearly jumped out of the lake and its eyes were filled with fear.

‘Why is this woman here? Help!’

The azure snake was so frightened that it wanted to dive into the ground and never come out again. But, the ground was so tough. It tried to dive in but it could not after several tries.

“Little snake, I realized for the first time that you’re so excited to meet me that you hit your head on the ground.”

‘Excited?

‘Never!’

The azure snake’s body shook uncontrollably. It almost burst into tears out of fright.
