"Take her back to Fang and take care of her."

Bai Lun left without saying a word.

The Lord had already left, and Mrs. Bai and the servants also left in a mighty way, leaving only two maids supporting Feng Xiaojin.

The ancestral hall was deserted again, Feng Xiaojin looked back at the tablet engraved with the words "Bai Shixuan", he had thousands of words in his heart, and when he finished speaking, only a sigh remained.

"Take me back to my room."

Autumn is high and crisp, and the moon and stars are scarce.

After Feng Xiaojin was served by his servants and had a meal, she slept until night before waking up in a daze.

As soon as she woke up, she ordered someone to boil water to take a bath, which washed away the greasy scent of incense all over her body.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for two days, why did you become like this?" Jewelry Box asked with concern.

Feng Xiaojin said helplessly: "It's good if some people can't see me. Fortunately, I'm smart, otherwise, you would never see me again."

Dagger smiled coldly: "It's better to be hungry and thinner, so that you won't be bulky when practicing martial arts."

Feng Xiaojin choked, why is this dagger so mean, it doesn't save her face at all!

After washing, Feng Xiaojin practiced martial arts for a while in the yard, and he really felt a lot lighter.

She has been practicing martial arts for almost half a month, and with the advice of the "famous teacher" Dagger, although she has only practiced a few punches and embroidered legs, her physique has improved a lot.

Thirsty and hungry, she was imprisoned for a day and a night. If it was the other woman, she would have to take care of her for ten days and a half months. But when she came to Feng Xiaojin, she only rested for a few hours before recovering.

But, she didn't want to recover so easily.

Mrs. Bai made things difficult, although it made Feng Xiaojin suffer, but it also created opportunities for Feng Xiaojin.

She practiced martial arts until it was almost dawn, and then she fell asleep for a while.

When she got up again, Feng Xiaojin sat in front of the dressing table and dressed up.

Jewelry Box looked at Feng Xiaojin's dress, and asked in confusion: "Sister, why are you dressed like this?"

Feng Xiaojin smiled but did not answer.

After a stick of incense, she appeared in the main hall.

"Why don't you rest in the yard?" Bai Lun asked.

Feng Xiaojin saluted gracefully: "The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is coming soon, my daughter-in-law dare not be lazy."

Bai Yunhua sneered at the side: "I heard from others that you are almost dying of hunger. Looking at it now, you are not as weak as they said, wearing red and green?"

When Mrs. Bai heard this, her expression froze for a moment.

Feng Xiaojin was embarrassed on the face, but happy in his heart.

She purposely put powder on her face today, without lip balm, she looked very weak, and put on brightly colored clothes, just to make Bai Yunhua criticize.

Feng Xiaojin coughed twice and said, "My daughter-in-law is weak and has a bad complexion. I am afraid that my parents will not like it, so I can only wear some bright clothes. I didn't expect Miss Yunhua to have an opinion..."

"Yunhua!" Bai Lun said angrily, "Your sister-in-law is exhausted from managing the housework every day, and she has been made things difficult for her by treacherous people. How can you be so mean and nitpicking!"

Bai Yunhua immediately fell silent, her eyes were poisoned and looked at Feng Xiaojin.

Feng Xiaojin only thinks of her as a transparent person. She has carefully prepared to come here today, not to provoke Bai Yunhua.

"My daughter-in-law has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for a long time, and when she is exhausted and dizzy, she always hears Shixuan's voice next to my ear." Feng Xiaojin said, while peeking at Bai Lun's expression, "He told me that he misses his mother. Dear, if mother personally copied the scriptures for him, he must be able to leave with peace of mind."

Mrs. Bai was taken aback, "But, but there is still a lot of work left for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet..."

"You can copy it." Bai Lun said, "Jin'er is capable, let her organize the family banquet."

"Master, this...!"

"Thank you for your appreciation, my daughter-in-law will definitely do well!"

Before Mrs. Bai had time to stop her, Feng Xiaojin had already stood up and saluted. Mrs. Bai glanced at Feng Xiaojin, and there was no time to hide the sternness in her eyes, revealing a bit.

Feng Xiaojin's eyes drifted leisurely to Bai Yunhua: "Yunhua is familiar with the affairs of the house, why don't you let her help your daughter-in-law?"

Bai Lun was silent for a moment, and after taking a sip of tea, he said calmly, "That's it."

The goal has been achieved, Feng Xiaojin didn't want to put on a show in the main hall, so he saluted and left.

Bai Yunhua followed closely behind, Feng Xiaojin realized her existence, stopped after walking for a while, and the man really stepped forward to talk to her.

"What's your purpose!"

"I found a chance for you, but you still yelled at me instead of thanking me?" Feng Xiaojin looked at Bai Yunhua with raised eyebrows.

Bai Yunhua was at a loss for words for a moment, perhaps because of embarrassment, she muttered: "You will be so kind?"

"Of course not." Feng Xiaojin didn't want to hide his edge, "It's just that Madam is trying to make things difficult for me. If I take over the power, she will definitely make things difficult for me. But with you, it will be different. If you get close to Madam, Madam sincerely protects you, and the family banquet will be peaceful. If anything happens, I can definitely blame you for it."

When Bai Yunhua heard this, she became angry instantly, and pulled Feng Xiaojin's sleeve to drag her away: "Follow me to Dad, and tell him what you said!"

A sharp light flashed in Feng Xiaojin's eyes, she grabbed Bai Yunhua's wrist with one hand, and swung it vigorously, only to hear Bai Yunhua's "Ah!", and fell heavily to the ground.

Although she can only show some flair, she is more than enough to deal with these young ladies in the boudoir.

Bai Yunhua sat on the ground and said angrily: "Your body has basically recovered, what you said just now is all a lie!"

Feng Xiaojin cast a sideways glance at her, and was unwilling to entangle her again, "These are not your concerns. You just need to pray that nothing happens at the family banquet, otherwise, neither you nor I will be able to run away!"

After finishing speaking, Feng Xiaojin turned and left.

In the next few days, Feng Xiaojin was busy preparing for the family banquet. Although she was in good health, she still wore "sick makeup" on her face. Everyone in the house could see clearly that Feng Xiaojin was still sick.

"Aunt Feng, since you are weak, why don't you just stand in the wind and go back to the yard?" A maid advised from the side. She had only been in the White Mansion for half a year, and she didn't understand the turmoil in this family. Feng Xiaojin's concern is also sincere.

Covering her lips, Feng Xiaojin coughed a few times, and said with a smile: "I really can't help you, but the autumn wind is too cold, you should be careful when working in the yard. I wake up early in the morning and cook in the kitchen. I made a big pot of ginger soup, and when you are resting, each of you can drink a bowl of it, it will warm your body."

As soon as the words fell, two servants carried a few wooden barrels filled with warm ginger soup and put them beside Feng Xiaojin.

The autumn wind was cool, Feng Xiaojin handed the ginger soup bowl by bowl to the servants, and those people's faces were full of gratitude, and their mouths were full of gratitude.

Feng Xiaojin didn't know what they were thinking, and he didn't care.

After all, the reason she got up early in the morning to make soup was just to have a good reputation among the servants, so she spread word of mouth, and she was afraid that it wouldn't reach Bai Lun's ears?
Bai Yunhua has been watching Feng Xiaojin's actions from the sidelines. At first she sneered, but after seeing those soups, her attitude towards Feng Xiaojin also changed significantly.

Feng Xiaojin naturally felt the change in Bai Yunhua, which she had expected long ago.

Whether it is a good person or a wicked person with a dark heart, it is inevitable that they will have a good impression of the gentle person. Feng Xiaojin just wants to use people's hearts to make the noble but stupid Bai Yunhua her pawn.

At night, Feng Xiaojin was about to go back to the small courtyard, but a strange sound suddenly came from the originally quiet gravel road.

"Help... help...!"

It was a female voice, trembling and desperate.

A gust of cool wind blew ghosts at the right time, and Feng Xiaojin was so frightened that she froze in place for an instant. She swallowed and grabbed the dagger tied to her leg.

"Did you hear any sound?" Feng Xiaojin asked Dagger in a low voice.

The dagger said: "Isn't it just a cry for help, you will know when you go and have a look."

"I..." Feng Xiaojin hesitated, but his feet stuck in place and did not move.

"Are you afraid?" Dagger smiled, "I thought you were not afraid of anything, but I didn't expect you to be afraid of ghosts and gods."

"Who said I was scared!" Feng Xiaojin was shocked by the dagger, even though he was afraid in his heart, he still bravely walked towards the source of the sound.

She kept holding the dagger tightly, and muttered in her mouth: "If someone deliberately scares me, I will scratch his face!"

The source of the sound was not far away. It was only behind the shrubs beside the gravel road that Feng Xiaojin pushed through layers of branches until he came to an abandoned well before he saw the person who made the sound.

That person was in the well, Feng Xiaojin looked down, and it turned out to be a familiar face - it was the maid who guarded Feng Xiaojin at the ancestral hall a few days ago.

At this time, the maid was covered in bruises, her clothes were torn, and her delicate face was covered with dirt.

Fortunately, she still had the strength to call for help, which attracted Feng Xiaojin.

"Are you okay?" Feng Xiaojin yelled towards the bottom of the well.

Hearing the voice, the maid forced her strength to open her eyes, and when she saw Feng Xiaojin, she hurriedly shouted: "Auntie, help me!"

There was a light in her eyes, and Feng Xiaojin could see that it was the desire to survive.

Feng Xiaojin is a cunning woman, but not a hard-hearted woman. She estimated the height from the bottom of the well to the ground, and she already made up her mind.

This dry well has dried up, and the bottom is raised by bricks and stones, which is no more than one person high from the ground. The reason why the maid couldn't come up was because she was injured and unable to come up, but after she had the desire to survive, it might not be so.

"You take my hand and climb up hard." Feng Xiaojin lay on the mouth of the well and stretched her arms down.

Seeing hope, the maid instantly gained strength, grabbed Feng Xiaojin's hand, kicked hard on the well wall, climbed for a while, and finally climbed up.

To say that he climbed up, it would be better to say that he was pulled up by Feng Xiaojin.

"Thank you, Auntie, for saving my life!" The maid knelt in front of Feng Xiaojin and kowtowed, the blood on her face was mixed with tears, and she looked in a panic at night.

Feng Xiaojin was a little embarrassed. The maid was punished in the first place, partly because of Feng Xiaojin.

"You are injured, if you don't treat it quickly, no one can save you."

The maid sat slumped on the ground, "I used to be a maid in the Seventh Young Master's courtyard. After the Seventh Young Master left, I lost my master and did some rough work in the mansion. Now I'm being severely punished... Auntie also saw that Madam threw me away. Going into the well is just to let me fend for myself, there is no place for me to go now..."
