After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom
Chapter 9 The person behind the scenes
Lu Minjing was thinking in her mind, as if she was thinking about her next plan.
She originally wanted to use this wooden box to get close to the wife of the Minister of Personnel, but now it seems hopeless.
She sighed and decided to find another way. The housekeeper knew her ambition but dared not say much. He could only respectfully wait for new instructions.
"You must keep this matter strictly secret and never reveal any information to the master." Lu Minjing's tone was cold and firm.
"Even though the master doesn't like that girl, she is his blood after all. We can't take any risks. We should just pretend we knew nothing about that little bitch falling off the cliff. Do you understand?"
The butler nodded repeatedly, and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, Madam, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well. I will dispatch those guards to other places to perform tasks, and recall them after the situation has calmed down."
Lu Minjing waved her hand, signaling the butler to leave. The butler breathed a sigh of relief and carefully left the room.
Lu Minjing sat alone in a chair with a cold expression.
The maids stood outside the courtyard gate, not daring to make a sound, and could only wait quietly for the lady's call.
The trees in the yard made a rustling sound, and the air was filled with a cold atmosphere that made people shudder.
The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
Feng Qiongzhu lay lazily on the bed with her limbs spread out, saliva slowly flowing from the corners of her mouth.
At this moment, she didn't care about any disturbance in the outside world.
Neither the chaos in the farm at the foot of the mountain nor the plots of her stepmother in the Feng family compound thousands of miles away could disturb her sweet dreams.
She seemed to want to make up for years of accumulated sleep deprivation at once and immersed herself in a deep sleep.
As the sun gradually set, golden afterglow filled the room. Feng Qiongzhu's stomach began to growl, and she opened her eyes on time.
She gently touched her belly and said to herself, "It seems that it is time for dinner. Other things can be put aside for the time being, but this meal cannot be neglected."
Feng Qiongzhu turned over and got out of bed, her movements quick and smooth, as light as a gust of wind.
She quickly put on her shoes and stepped out of the room with one smooth and graceful move.
She stood in the yard and shouted loudly: "Aunt Li!"
Aunt Li ran out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron and asking, "Qiongzhu girl, what's wrong? What happened?"
Feng Qiongzhu said aggrievedly: "Aunt Li, I'm hungry, is the meal ready?"
Aunt Li heard her voice and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at Feng Qiongzhu lovingly and said, "Girl, your voice is so loud. I thought something happened to you. Are you hungry? Don't worry, the meal will be ready soon."
Feng Qiongzhu nodded, walked slowly towards the hall, and said softly: "Then I'll wait for you in the hall."
"When I was buying groceries today, I saw some fresh melons. I've cut a plate and put it on the table in the hall. You can eat some to fill your stomach first." Aunt Li looked at Feng Qiongzhu's dazed back and called to her with a smile.
After saying that, he ignored her and went back to the kitchen.
Aunt Li was responsible for cooking for more than 20 people, including the guards. In order to speed up the process, she called two guards from the yard to the kitchen to help.
Aunt Li's cooking skills have been well received by everyone here. Whenever the food is served, the twenty or so young men are full of praise for it.
Even though Feng Qiongzhu had tasted many delicacies from land and sea in her previous life, she still had to give a thumbs up to the home-cooked dishes made by Aunt Li.
Feng Qiongzhu was enjoying a leisurely time, ordering people around her around without any restraint.
Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted her comfort.
"You really know how to enjoy yourself. When you come here, you either eat or sleep. You are not polite at all and order me around."
She looked up and saw that it was Yun Kaizhou.
This man was dressed in white today, completely different from his usual black clothes.
He was wearing a flowing white robe with silver bamboo leaves embroidered on the collar and a jade pendant shaped like a white frog hanging around his waist. He looked as handsome as a god from heaven.
Feng Qiongzhu's eyes were attracted by the jade pendant on her waist, and she couldn't help laughing: "Haha, what is that thing on your waist? Why does it look like a toad?"
Yun Kaizhou's face suddenly darkened, "What are you talking about? What toad? Are you blind? I am a toad, a symbol of wealth!"
Feng Qiongzhu disagreed: "Isn't a toad just a toad? What's the difference?"
"Also, even though she's so pretty, what she says is really unbearable to listen to. She can say all kinds of shit."
Yun Kaizhou was choked by her words, his expression became even uglier: "You...what do you know? I hung up the toad because I wanted wealth."
"Aren't we going out to explore the treasure map? That's why I hung it up." Yun Kaizhou explained with a red face.
Feng Qiongzhu looked at his aggrieved expression and found it somewhat cute.
She restrained her smile and said seriously: "Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. It's good to attract wealth. After all, I also have half of the wealth. If you attract wealth, then I will also attract wealth."
Feng Qiongzhu noticed that Yun Kaizhou was also sitting at the table eating melon, so she asked curiously, "Are you here to wait for food as well? Are you eating here too?"
Yun Kaizhou stared at her in disbelief with his eyes wide open: "This yard is so small, where do you want me to eat? You should avoid it. This is my place, you should eat in the kitchen."
Feng Qiongzhu rolled her eyes at him disdainfully: "I'm eating here. Aunt Li asked me to come here."
Yun Kaizhou then said, "Aunt Li is quite caring towards you. Look at your clothes. They are so big and old-fashioned. They should belong to Aunt Li, right? They don't look good at all."
Feng Qiongzhu snorted disapprovingly: "It's none of your business. I'm lucky to be rescued alive by you. It's good enough that you even care about clothes. It's not good enough for Hongan to have something to wear."
Yun Kaizhou touched his nose, said no more, and concentrated on eating the melon in front of him.
The two were silent for a while. Yun Kaizhou suddenly remembered the information from the secret guards' investigation, so he told Feng Qiongzhu: "Our secret guards have found out the identities of the team of men in black. They are from Cangzhou. According to our investigation, your stepmother sent them through the housekeeper."
Feng Qiongzhu sneered: "I guessed it a long time ago. Who else would treat me like this except my good stepmother."
She is no longer her original self, so these news did not cause much emotional fluctuations for her.
"Have you found any other information?" Feng Qiongzhu continued to ask, "For example, the person behind my stepmother. You also said that there must be a more powerful person behind her who is investigating something on me."
"We have found some clues, but they are not specific enough. We only know that your stepmother has recently tried to get close to the wife of the official in the Ministry of Personnel. We will have to wait for more details."
Yun Kaizhou looked at her without any reaction and asked tentatively, "Are you not angry? Your stepmother treated you like that, and you don't seem to care at all."
