A temporary peace was reached between the two. Yun Nian was not willing to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. For her, this hot spring villa was a suitable place to rest temporarily.

Seeing that Yun Nian was unwilling to leave with them, Shen Ningsi had no choice but to agree. However, Huo Daiyu didn't care. She had nothing to do these days, so she could naturally spend more time keeping an eye on Yun Shuo to prevent him from doing anything to Sisi again.

The Spring Banquet is coming soon, and Princess Rongyang will obviously not miss such an opportunity. She has already invited the girls she is familiar with. I wonder what she will arrange at that time.

Shen Ningsi and Huo Daiyu also received invitations. Rong Yang was not arrogant enough to send them invitations.

"What about mine?"

Yun Nian stretched out her hand and looked at her brother. Since she might be the protagonist of this banquet, how could she not be present?

How could Rong Yang miss the opportunity to laugh at her? He must have sent an invitation.

"...I'll give it to you tomorrow. Since you're ready to go, I just got a batch of brocade woven by an embroiderer. How about sending it to you to take a look?"

Yun Shuo put his hands behind his back. He was clearly in a forced position, but his expression was still calm. He just said lightly,

Shen Ningsi was also very polite and bowed slightly. When he raised his head again, his eyes fell on the girl next to him.

"No need. Men don't know how to match clothes. Our Sisi is so pretty, so naturally I should arrange her makeup. When the banquet comes, I will severely dampen Rongyang's spirit and let her know that she can't think that she can do whatever she wants just because Sisi doesn't care."

……

"Princess, the invitations have been sent out. The Spring Banquet you host will surely be the grandest banquet in Luochuan City. I wonder how many people will envy you!"

Rong Yang stretched out his finger, leaned back on the recliner, and lazily listened to the maid's report, with a scornful smile on his face.

"Of course. How could Yun Nian be better than me? I only looked up to her because of her engagement with the prince."

A petite girl half-knelt in front of her and gently painted her nails with Kou Dan. The light pink color with a strong smell of medicine fell on her nails.

She looked only slightly younger than Rongyang, but she was not wearing the clothes of a maid.

"Now that she has lost her status as the Crown Prince's Consort, I wonder why she can still act so arrogantly in front of me. Does she really think that everyone in Luochuan City likes her?"

Rong Yang was still chattering, half-opening his eyes to look at his fingers, and suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped them.

"Snapped!"

The woman who was wearing the kohlrabi immediately had red marks on her face, along with long, dark pink marks where she had been scratched by her fingernails.

"You are so clumsy that you can't even apply Kou Dan properly. I don't know what else you can do."

The arrogant girl waved her hand in dissatisfaction, and the juice on it was blown into a mess by the wind before it completely dried.

"You are indeed a lowly creature born of lowly people. Tell me, did you do it on purpose? Did you deliberately smear it to make me look bad?"

She gave a look, and the maids beside her immediately stepped forward and grabbed the girl on the ground from both sides.

The girl raised her head and explained in panic, revealing a pitiful and pretty face. She looked pretty, but the slap mark on her face ruined her beauty.

"Sister, I didn't. I didn't mean it. If you hadn't moved just now..."

"You still dare to quibble?"

Rong Yang looked extremely angry and slapped him twice more, this time with more force. Blood streaks appeared on his face.

"Miss...the master will be back soon."

The maid beside her saw this scene, her eyes flickered, and she stepped forward to remind him.

"If I see you playing with Miss Five again, I'm afraid I'll be nagging you again."

Hearing this, Rong Yang paused in wiping his hands, frowned at the rather miserable Fifth Miss, and waved his handkerchief.

"Don't worry. Go and tell Daddy that I have something to say to my fifth sister, so I won't be dining with him today."

Rong Dan, who was trembling and touching her face, showed a look of fear after hearing this. She wanted to scream loudly and ask someone to save her.

But she knew that in this Shangshu Mansion, Rongyang was a character she could not resist. Although she was the fifth lady, there were many other ladies in this mansion, and no one treated her as the master.

"Sister, I will study hard. If you give me another chance, I will dye better Kou Dan!"

She didn't care about anything, she knelt on the ground awkwardly, took a few steps forward, hugged Rongyang's thigh,

"Sister, please, please, I will do it well."

If it was just a slap, she would just feel a little pain and it would pass after enduring it.

But if she was brought into the room by Rong Yang, those silver needles would fall on her body without hesitation. The sharp and continuous pain would be a continuous and unbearable torture, enough to drive a person crazy.

When she thought of such a terrible scene, tears flowed down her pretty face, which looked very lovable.

Rong Yang originally wanted to kick her away impatiently, but when he saw that face, he paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking of.

"You want me to give you a chance?"

She suddenly smiled, her tone became gentle, and she leaned slightly closer to Rong Dan.

"Sure, I can not only give you a chance, I can also give you a life of wealth and glory. How about it, would you like to consider it?"

Rong Dan was stunned. She naturally didn't dare to think about what kind of wealth and glory would be waiting for her, but she also knew that Rong Yang would not allow others to refuse what he wanted to do.

Sure enough, the princess spoke again the next second.

"Of course, you have no choice but to accept it. After all, you are my sister."

She waved her hand and led the head maid into the room. The other two maids dragged Rong Dan in. The door was closed.

"I heard that there is a kind of poison that can cause a person's skin to fester and emit a foul odor. Most importantly, the onset is very long, taking a full three days. Coincidentally, I just got this kind of poison recently."

Rong Yang had a strange smile on his face as he looked at the Fifth Miss.

"The method of poisoning is also very simple. Just hide it between your fingers and gently scratch the person's hand with your fingernails. The poison will naturally enter. How about it? Isn't it simple?"

She said it lightly, but Rong Dan's muddled mind actually had a hint of clarity.

"Who are you going to poison?"

The princess looked down at the woman on the ground and said two words lightly,

"Yun Nian."
