I still remember when she successfully mastered the final move, she transformed into a fluttering golden flower, with flowers and plants blooming in the surrounding dozens of meters, creating a peculiar scene.
Rouge was even more astonished, seeing a sight she had never witnessed before, but Hailing reminded her not to disturb anyone.
Now, the people from the Crown Prince's residence are guarding her all around, ostensibly for protection.
In fact, Jiang Batian would not kill her again, but wanted her to enter the Crown Prince's residence. Once she entered the Crown Prince's residence, she would become a pawn to be discarded, merely a chess piece used by Jiang Batian to appease the Crown Prince. After that, the Jiang family would probably no longer be loyal to the Crown Prince.
This was probably what Feng Zixiao least expected. Although Jiang Batian had ambitions before, his Achilles' heel had not yet been provoked. Now, the Crown Prince had successfully provoked him, and the struggle between their two families had officially begun.
In just a few days, Hailing diligently practiced the Eighteen Forms of Golden Flower and bought two maids and two rough-working old women for her mother, Du Caiyue.
These people were carefully selected by her. The two maids were extremely ugly, the kind that would make anyone disgusted. The two old women were deaf and mute, and no one would usually pay them any attention. But Hailing bought them in so that they could have food to eat. Therefore, these people were grateful and would naturally treat Du Caiyue well, unlike the other members of the Jiang family who treated their mother badly.
Moreover, her mother would be fine before the Jiang family and the Crown Prince officially broke off relations. She had to make the Crown Prince unable to tolerate her and depose her in anger before the two families broke off relations, so that she could withdraw unscathed from this situation.
August 15th, the night before the wedding.
Hai Ling was listening intently to the Crown Prince's nanny recounting the details of the wedding in her room. In truth, she knew perfectly well that she didn't need to pay attention to this or that at all.
Her wedding was just a formality.
The people in the General's Mansion wouldn't care, nor would the people in the Crown Prince's Mansion, so why would she need to know these details?
As Hailing thought about it, she yawned, reminding the old women who were talking so earnestly and with great enthusiasm that she was tired and needed to sleep.
Unfortunately, the four old women were so engrossed in their conversation that they seemed not to notice and continued to talk about what needed to be noted.
Just then, Green Lotus walked in from outside and respectfully reported, "Your Highness, the second young lady from the General's Mansion requests an audience."
"Jiang Feiyu".
She hadn't seen her for a while. She'd heard that she'd been very quiet lately, neither going to see Bai Ye nor going out to cause trouble, but staying hidden in her Mingyue Pavilion. What was she doing here now? This woman hated her very much.
"I wonder what she wants by showing up?" A cold glint flashed in Hai Ling's eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips as she nodded, "Understood."
Seeing that Hailing had something to do, the four old women finally stopped talking. They had originally wanted to offer some suggestions, but seeing that Hailing's expression was not good, they wisely excused themselves and left.
Rouge walked over and whispered in Hailing's ear, "Miss, it's best not to see her. She's never up to any good when she shows up. General Bai doesn't want her anymore, so what good can come of her at this time?"
Hai Ling thought about it and realized that was indeed the case. She decided it was best to ignore the woman and instructed Lü He.
"Go and tell her I'm asleep and won't see anyone."
Green Lotus responded and went out. Hai Ling was indeed a little tired. She had been listening to those old women talk about this and that all day, but she hadn't listened at all. She knew perfectly well what this wedding was like, so why were they still trying to poison her ears?
"Miss, it's late, you should go to bed early. Tomorrow is your wedding."
She wondered what the wedding would be like. The Crown Prince certainly wouldn't take it seriously, which would be very embarrassing for Miss. Thinking about this, Rouge knew she would have trouble sleeping tonight.
The master and servant left the hall and walked along the covered corridor back to their room. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the courtyard, and many people were rushing towards the door, as if something had happened.
Hai Ling raised an eyebrow in surprise and called out to a maid, "What happened?"
The maid had been so engrossed in watching the commotion that she hadn't noticed the Crown Princess in the covered walkway. Now, upon hearing Hai Ling's question, she became nervous and whispered, "I heard that Miss Jiang is making a scene outside the courtyard gate. She seems to be saying that if the Crown Princess doesn't appear, she will commit suicide."
"suicide?"
He ran to her door to commit suicide. Hai Ling raised an eyebrow, her eyes cold and icy. This was rather interesting.
She thought for a moment, then turned around and led Rouge outside. People had already committed suicide outside her door, so she wanted to see what she was up to.
A large crowd had gathered in front of Qinfang Courtyard. Before Hailing could even walk over, she heard Jiang Feiyu's loud crying coming from there.
"Jiang Hailing, Jiang Hailing, if you don't come out today, I will die in front of your door. Tomorrow is your wedding day. You have ruined everything I have, and I will ruin everything you have."
As Hai Ling walked to the door, the crowd automatically parted to make way, allowing her to clearly see Jiang Feiyu screaming hysterically.
Her once radiant and beautiful face was now hideous, and with her sobbing uncontrollably, she looked as ugly as could be. She held a sharp kitchen knife against her neck, staring intently at Hailin.
His eyes held a curse-like glint, ruthless and intense, fixed intently on Hailin.
During this period, she experienced the bitterness of being ridiculed. Several times she overheard the servants gossiping in secret. Everyone in the capital knew that she had been dumped by Bai Ye and that her face had been disfigured. Everyone treated it as a joke. Even the servants in the mansion pointed and whispered among themselves, which made her afraid to even leave the house.
Not to mention others, even her own mother doesn't know how to comfort herself, she only knows how to cry, so what's the point of her living? She might as well just die.
"Jiang Hailing, everything I have today was destroyed by you, so today I will curse you with my blood, curse you to never be happy, to always be trampled on, and to live a life worse than a pig or a dog."
Jiang Feiyu had originally planned to lure Hailing out, then commit suicide and frame her, so that even if she died, she wouldn't let the woman get away with it. But the woman didn't fall for it at all, so she would curse her with her own blood, cursing her to get nothing and die a horrible death.
As soon as Jiang Feiyu finished speaking, she decisively and ruthlessly slashed the knife across her neck, and blood spurted out.
Many people screamed in fright. Her eyes were wide open, glaring at Jiang Hailing with resentment. Everything she had was ruined by Jiang Hailing, and she would curse her even in death.
Hai Ling looked at her with pity in her eyes and sympathy on her lips. She slowly walked over and saw that the woman was still breathing. She wanted her to understand that she had no one to blame but herself for her foolish actions and for having a good older sister. If she was right, not many people in the capital cared about her affairs. The servants in the mansion were all too busy to care about their own problems. Who would pay attention to her affairs? It must have been someone with ulterior motives who did this.
"Jiang Feiyu, you died a pitiful death. I'm afraid you didn't even know you were caught in someone else's trap until you died. Actually, I didn't do anything, but your dear sister probably did quite a lot."
After Hai Ling finished speaking, she stood up. Jiang Feiyu's eyes widened, and Hai Ling's words made her think of something. She trembled.
In her final moments of unconsciousness, her consciousness became somewhat clear. It turned out that the one wearing human skin was her sister. No wonder she had always disliked her, but recently she had been coming to comfort her from time to time, and then intentionally or unintentionally saying that she had nothing left. Instead of comforting her, she was leading her into a dead end, which was why her mind became more and more confused, and why she died such a miserable death.
Jiang Feiyu opened her eyes wide, but closed them again under the moonlight, unwilling to accept the situation.
Suddenly, a desperate cry rang out in front of Qinfang Courtyard: "Yu'er, Yu'er."
It turned out that the third wife rushed over, and when she saw that her daughter was dead, she rushed over and cried loudly. Then she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
The crowd hurriedly carried the mother and daughter away, and a chill settled over the entire general's mansion.
