Chapter 128 Scheming ([-])

"That's the case. The slave girl still needs to get the affirmation of the lady before she can rest assured."

"En." Feng Jingyun nodded lightly.

The guard Zhou Wu walked into the yard and reported, "Miss, many dignitaries and dignitaries have come to the mansion, and they have brought a lot of congratulatory gifts. They say they are here to celebrate the Fourth Madam's birthday. The Da Furen has put away all the congratulatory gifts and is warmly greeting them in the hall Guests. A distinguished guest asked about the fourth lady, and the eldest lady said that she is resting now and will see guests at night."

"Eldest lady is really shameless! She is ashamed to accept a gift from our wife!" Fei Cui was furious.

Zhou Wu said again, "Congratulatory guests come in a steady stream, either rich or noble. The eldest lady has ordered that officials below the fourth rank will not receive them. Non-imperial relatives and wealthy people in Beijing will not be accepted. Judging by the number of people, it is estimated that there will be more than a thousand people at the banquet. people."

"Such a big battle?" Fei Cui was worried, "Preparing meals for so many people, no matter how simple it is, I'm afraid it's too late. After all, it's my wife's birthday banquet, so it's not justified without food, and it's shameful if it's poor. "

Wei Xuemei also became anxious, "Why are there so many people here?"

Feng Jingyun said calmly, "The crown prince and King Qi will come to the banquet, it's normal for those people to follow suit and come here to curry favor. If they don't come, it's not normal."

Xiao Shunzi said with a smile, "Madam, don't worry, Miss has already made arrangements."

"What arrangement?" Fei Cui was puzzled, "Why didn't the maidservant know?"

"You are busy taking care of Madam, I have already done as Madam ordered."

"Oh, all right."

……

An hour later, Feng Guiwan and her maid, Qiu Ju, had had enough fun in the compound, and was about to sing back to the Wan Pavilion, when beside a flower bush, Gui Wan spotted a small cloth bag with sharp eyes, she pointed to the cloth bag and said , "Pick it up in the past and see what it is."

"Yes." Qiu Ju said in surprise after she got it and spread it out, "Miss, it's such a beautiful jewelry!"

"What are you talking about?" Feng Guiwan glared at her, "I'm afraid people won't know that I picked something up? If someone else sees it, it's hard to justify not returning it." He took the bracelet and hairpin and took a look, "The quality is good, two 300 It's worth the two."

Qiu Ju stared at the jewelry enviously, "Miss, you are so lucky to pick up such a precious thing, it shows that God treats you kindly."

"Really." Feng Guiwan took a closer look at the bracelet and hairpin, "I always feel something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"A hairpin and two bracelets are made of jade, similar to the gift I gave Wei Xuemei."

"But this hairpin is inlaid with gold and gold pendants, and the bracelet has delicate carvings, which are different from the ones you gave to the Fourth Madam."

"The quantity is the same." She narrowed her eyes cautiously, and suddenly smiled, "So what if Feng Jingyun gave it back to me? It's poisonous, and Wei Xuemei has touched it. It won't be long before she She will become a mad woman at the birthday banquet, so she can keep company with her brother Wei Jingyao, that crazy Wu."

"Then you..."

She smiled sarcastically, "I have already taken the antidote for the poison on the bracelet and hairpin. I can't bear it at all. I saved the gift I bought for 200 taels, and the extra decorations on it cost almost 100 taels. I still earn some money. However, it is also possible that I was overthinking, and it may not be that Feng Jingyun changed the trick to return it to me. Maybe it was dropped by someone else, and the amount I gave is just a coincidence."

"Do you want my servant to come to Yiju quietly to see if the things you gave to the fourth lady are still there?"
