Upon hearing this, Madam Wang frowned slightly and said with some disapproval, "Miss, why do you have to personally take care of that old woman? If she doesn't behave herself, I'll teach her a lesson for you. Why give her face?"

Feng Qiongzhu shook her head and sighed softly: "Mother Wang, you don't understand. She is too noisy, I have to make her quiet down. Otherwise, it will only make me more upset."

After hearing this, Mother Wang immediately understood her intention and nodded in agreement.

Feng Qiongzhu turned around and told Xuan Qi, "Xuan Qi, you stay here and wait. If Feng Tingjing comes, ask the shopkeeper to check the accounts with him. I have important things to do and need to go to the old lady's yard."

Xuan Qi responded respectfully, "Yes."

Mother Wang put some bird's nests in a bowl, put it in a food box, and handed it to Xuan Wu who was standing beside her.

"Xuanwu, you and the young lady go to the old lady together. Once there, be sure to protect the young lady and don't let her suffer any harm."

Xuan Wu took the food box and nodded to show that he understood.

Feng Qiongzhu glanced at the food box in Xuan Wu's hand. She raised her chin slightly, motioning Xuan Wu to open it, and then took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from her arms.

The hand holding the porcelain bottle opened the lid and shook it into the bowl of bird's nest.

Seeing this, Xuan Wu stirred the bowl with her fingers without hesitation.

Feng Qiongzhu looked at her rude actions with her eyes wide open, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid of dirtying your hands?"

Xuan Wu laughed and said nonchalantly, "Miss, it's okay. We martial artists are not like those spoiled ladies who care so much. If your hands get dirty, just wipe them. It won't hurt a piece of flesh."

Feng Qiongzhu's mouth twitched, and she didn't say anything more: "Let's go and meet the old lady. No matter what, today, we must let her taste this bird's nest with added ingredients."

Feng Qiongzhu stepped into the old lady's yard, her eyes moving around.

Her eyes fell on the inconspicuous little Buddhist temple in the corner of the yard.

She turned to the little maid in the courtyard and asked, "Does your old lady believe in Buddhism?"

The maid replied in a low voice: "My dear young lady, the old lady stays in the Buddhist temple for a while every day."

Feng Qiongzhu smiled coldly, "Your old lady must have done too many bad things, and she wants to ask the Buddha to help her wash away her sins. But can the Buddha really help her cleanse the stains on her soul?"

The maid lowered her head and dared not answer.

Feng Qiongzhu said nothing more and walked straight to the old lady's room.

As soon as she opened the door, a strong smell of medicine hit her in the face, as if it could penetrate every inch of her skin and every nerve.

The old lady had received the news the moment Feng Qiongzhu stepped into the yard.

She quickly lay down on the bed, put a hot towel on her forehead, and began to act out a scene of being seriously ill.

Feng Qiongzhu entered the room and saw the old lady lying on the bed, looking extremely weak.

She knew very well that this was just a show, but she didn't expose it. She just walked past it without seeing it.

She took the bird's nest handed over by Xuan Wu, with a gentle smile on her lips, and said softly: "I heard that grandma was not feeling well today, and I was very worried. I was even more heartbroken when I heard the maid next to you mentioned this matter before. That maid who didn't know the rules actually spoke rudely and contradicted the old mother next to you. I am deeply sorry. In order to show my filial piety, I specially stewed this bowl of bird's nest by myself, hoping to bring a little warmth to your body."

After saying that, Feng Qiongzhu sat down beside the old lady's bed, holding the bird's nest in one hand and a spoon in the other, ready to feed the old lady herself.

However, the old lady was a little scared in her heart. She was afraid that Feng Qiongzhu would do something to harm her again, so she dared not speak.

Feng Qiongzhu seemed to see the old lady's concerns, so she gently persuaded her, "Grandma, I will do my best to serve you in the future. This bird's nest is a royal product from the palace. It has been carefully stewed on the stove for several hours."

After saying that, Feng Qiongzhu took a sip herself to show that the bird's nest was non-toxic.

The old lady looked at Feng Qiongzhu's seemingly sincere eyes, and saw her taste the bowl of bird's nest with her own mouth, and the doubts in her heart were slightly alleviated.

Seeing this, Feng Qiongzhu said while the iron was hot: "Grandma, please try it. This bird's nest has a mellow taste and rich nutrition. It is very beneficial to the body. As a filial granddaughter, I only hope that grandma will be healthy soon and enjoy the happiness of family life."

After hearing Feng Qiongzhu's words, the old lady's defenses were finally broken.

Although she was still a little nervous, she could not resist the temptation of the bird's nest in the palace.

So the old lady plucked up her courage, picked up the bowl of bird's nest, and tasted it carefully.

All of a sudden, she felt her mouth full of fragrance. This bird's nest was indeed as good as its reputation, with a mellow taste that melts in the mouth, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.

Feng Qiongzhu looked at the old lady's satisfied expression, her lips slightly curved, revealing a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

Her eyes slowly slid across the old lady's face, as if admiring her own masterpiece.

When the old lady contentedly ate up all the bird's nest in the bowl with an unsatisfied look on her face, Feng Qiongzhu's mouth curled up in an even more obvious arc.

The old lady subconsciously glanced at Feng Qiongzhu and was about to praise the deliciousness of the bird's nest and hint that she should stew more next time.

However, before she could say anything, she suddenly found herself speechless.

The bowl in his hand slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

The old lady's face was instantly filled with horror. She pointed at Feng Qiongzhu and screamed, "Ah...ah..." Her voice was full of fear and confusion.

Feng Qiongzhu seemed to have expected all this. She looked at the old lady coldly, and the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious.

The old lady's cries gradually became weaker. She found that she had lost all her strength and could only lie helplessly on the bed. She didn't even have the strength to raise her hands. She stared at Feng Qiongzhu fiercely.

If looks could really kill, then Feng Qiongzhu would probably have been cut into pieces by her angry eyes.

Feng Qiongzhu stood beside the bed, looking at Old Madam Feng with cold eyes, "How is it? You can't speak now, right? I warned you a long time ago not to make me angry, otherwise the consequences will not be something you can bear. But why are you always so stubborn?"

Tears were already flowing from the corners of Madam Feng's eyes, and she felt completely regretful at this moment.

She finally realized that Feng Qiongzhu was an absolute lunatic, a fearless lunatic.

At this time, the old nanny beside the old lady was already in tears.

She knelt down in front of Feng Qiongzhu, grabbed Feng Qiongzhu's dress with trembling hands, and begged bitterly: "Miss, I don't know what you gave the old lady to eat. Please spare the old lady this time. I promise that the old lady will never dare to trouble you again. She is old and can't stand such a torment. The old lady has been strong all her life, but now she can't speak and can only be paralyzed in bed. This is worse than death!"
