Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Counterattack

Feng Qing chuckled coldly, speaking better than singing, before she could even gulp down a cup of poison, but couldn’t she continue later? Besides, if Rong Ling knew she admitted this fault, she wouldn’t spare her.

However, even though Feng Qing knew this, she didn’t intend to say it; she just wanted to retaliate against the Empress properly.

As Feng Qing pondered, her face began to show hesitation. Feng Yao thought she had convinced Feng Qing, so she spoke more earnestly.

"Sister, in the end, we women don’t rely on men. It’s normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines. We rely on our family. If the family is strong, no one dares to touch us. Think carefully about what your sister said."

"Although your sister did wrong in the past, we are sisters after all, right? In the future, you will also become the Regent Queen. Your sister will still rely on you, won’t she? And won’t you also need your sister’s help in the future?"

Feng Qing seemed convinced, looking at Feng Yao and asked, "So what should we do now?"

Hearing Feng Qing’s words, Feng Yao finally relaxed, feeling a bit smug. Ha, this woman, no matter how patient and composed, still fell for her trick. Once she admits this fault, she would definitely have Your Majesty take action to remove her, so from then on, no one would drag the swapped bride issue onto her or the Feng Family.

Feng Yao, while thinking, reached out to hold Feng Qing’s hand and said, "Sister, just follow your sister’s arrangement."

Feng Qing looked hesitant at first, but finally seemed to have made up her mind, "Alright then."

Feng Yao felt reassured and took Feng Qing’s hand, and the two sisters walked out of the small pavilion in Cining Palace, heading toward the side hall.

"The banquet will start in a while. Let’s first go to the East Hall of Cining Palace, have some food, and then head over. You know, you can’t find much to eat at the banquet and it’s easy to get hungry. Let’s have some snacks to fill up."

"Alright."

The group headed toward the East Hall of Cining Palace. Along the way, Feng Yao chatted intimately with Feng Qing, treating her genuinely like a sister.

Feng Qing echoed here and there, but her heart was full of cold laughter.

After entering the East Hall of Cining Palace, Feng Yao immediately ordered the palace maid to serve tea and snacks. Feng Qing glanced but felt at ease since no tricks were played, so she ate a few pieces of snacks.

On the side, Feng Yao glanced at the inner hall of the East Hall and gently said, "Sister, just one word for me. Is it because you admired the Prince that you swapped the bridal sedan?"

After Feng Yao finished speaking, she looked at Feng Qing, mouthed two words silently, "admit it."

Feng Qing looked at Feng Yao, then slowly turned her head toward the inner hall of the East Hall. Could it be that someone was inside the inner hall, which was why Feng Yao asked her that?

She initially thought Feng Yao said those things earlier to make her admit it in the main hall, intending to shame her severely there.

Unexpectedly, she brought her to the East Hall to deliberately let others hear it.

Who are these people? Rong Ling the Regent King is definitely among them. Besides him, there were probably some other people.

Feng Yao wanted to leave Rong Ling speechless, and simultaneously make others confirm the swapped bride was her doing?

Feng Qing sneered, directly smashing the teacup in her hand furiously, "Sister, what nonsense are you spouting, saying I swapped the bridal sedan. Obviously, you swapped the bridal sedan with Feng chariot; the dowry carried into the Regent Prince Mansion is the evidence. Do you want me to display that dowry for everyone to see?"

"If the Feng Family didn’t know I married into the Regent Prince Mansion, why did they prepare such a disgraceful dowry for me? Also, you know that dowry contained several items from my mother’s dowry, including a medical book, which is ironclad evidence."
