Madam Lu would naturally stay at Qian Xi's side, but it was not to help her get over her shock. Instead, it was to keep an eye on her to prevent her from running away.
Feng Yu Heng washed up and got dressed. Although she was not wearing a cloak, her head was still covered with a veil. Satisfied, she was led out of the inn by madam Lu. Amidst the sighs of the inn's guests, they exited the gates and got into the sedan that had been sent by the leader's palace. The granny that had come to teach them the rules and madam Lu stood on either side of the sedan, following closely behind like matchmakers.
Feng Yu Heng sat in the sedan with her eyes closed to rest. She was filled with curiosity and anticipation towards the leader's palace that she was about to go to.
When the sedan arrived, the entrance to the leader's palace was already filled with people. Everyone had come for Duan Mu An Guo's birthday banquet. It was very lively. A portion of the Dashun officials had already thought things through. Either way, they could not leave. Either way, they would lose their lives. It would be better to just stay here. Who knows, they might be able to find a better path.
The sedan stopped at the entrance, and the granny and madam Lu helped Feng Yu Heng out of the sedan. She heard someone quietly mutter: "I heard that this one hasn't even reached marriageable age. She's even younger than the previous one."
"Lord Duan Mu's preferences really are becoming more and more extreme."
The granny increased her strength and practically dragged Feng Yu Heng into the manor. Going around and around, the noise from the front yard gradually became quieter until they entered a small courtyard. It could be considered that they had been completely cut off from the noise. The granny clicked her tongue and said to her: "Lord leader really dotes on you a lot. Apparently, the most favored fifth madam lived in this courtyard before. It's just that the fifth madam had a short life and died before two months had passed. Ever since that time, the leader sealed this courtyard to remember the fifth madam. He has never allowed any other concubines to enter." While she spoke, she forcefully gripped Feng Yu Heng's hand, reminding her: "Remember what you said last night. After entering the leader's palace, if you have any prospects, you must not forget about me."
Feng Yu Heng said in an excited and joyful voice: "Qian Xi definitely will not forget mother-in-law's grace."
"Yo!" Madam Lu was also anxious. "Qianxi, don't just remember your mother-in-law. There's also me, your mistress. I'm your benefactor who allowed you to enter the Leader's Palace."
Feng Yu Heng sneered in her heart, but her mouth was filled with gratitude. She suddenly stopped and held Madam Lu's hand, saying: "Madam, Qianxi is really nervous and needs to go to the toilet. I don't know the way in this fu, can Madam accompany me?"
Madam Lu was stunned. "Need to go to the toilet?" Then she glanced at the old woman, obviously asking for her opinion.
The old woman thought for a moment and nodded. "Go ahead." As he spoke, he pointed in a direction. "It's over there. Don't follow too closely. Don't let the new madam get lost."
Madam Lu knew that the fear of getting lost was fake. She was truly afraid that she would run away, thus she firmly held onto Feng Yu Heng. It was as if she was being escorted in that direction.
Feng Yu Heng's ears moved slightly, as she carefully paid attention to the movements outside the veil. It was only after they turned a corner that madam Lu stopped and suddenly lifted half of the veil over her head. She then said to her: "We've arrived. Go in on your own. I will wait for you outside." As the noble madam of an official's family, she could not possibly accompany a maidservant to the toilet, even if this girl was about to become Duan Mu An Guo's concubine.
Feng Yu Heng's lips curled into a strange smile. She was already certain that there was no one else here aside from the two of them.
When madam Lu saw this smile, her heart suddenly went "thunk" for some reason, as she had a bad premonition. This premonition immediately turned into "This girl is definitely going to run." Thus she reflexively grabbed her and anxiously said: "Run? Don't even think about it. This is the leader's palace. There are guards everywhere. As long as you've come in, you will not be able to escape! "
Feng Yu Heng's smile was still on her face. In fact, it was even more intense than before, as she told madam Lu: "I won't run. I managed to get in with great difficulty. Why should I run?"
"Hm?" Madam Lu was stunned, "You managed to get in with great difficulty? What do you mean? "
"What I mean is what I mean." As Feng Yu Heng spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and fiercely hit the back of madam Lu's head. Before she could react, she had already fainted.
Feng Yu Heng snorted coldly. She just thought that dealing with this sort of person who did not have any fighting ability really was boring. She only needed to raise her hand and she could easily get rid of her. Who knew where exactly she found the courage to scheme against others.
She squatted down and directly threw madam Lu into the pharmacy space. Then she stood in the same spot for a while. When she calculated that it was about time, she went back the way she came.
The old woman was still standing in the courtyard waiting for her. When she saw her return, she was stunned at first. Then she looked back but didn't see Madam Lu. She couldn't help but frown and ask with dissatisfaction, "Why did you lift the veil? Where is your family's madam? "
Feng Yu Heng said: "Madam said that she had something to do and went back to the front courtyard through the small path. She told Qianxi to come back by herself. Qianxi had no choice but to lift the veil a little to see the road. "
The old woman waved her hand and removed her veil. Then, she impatiently said, "Forget it, forget it. She's just a good-for-nothing from a small family. Right now, you're still calling her Madam. Once you gain a firm foothold in the Commander's Palace, she'll have to think of ways to curry favor with you." As she spoke, she pulled Feng Yu Heng into the room. The servant girls who were waiting in the courtyard came over early in the morning to congratulate Feng Yu Heng. Then they opened the door and invited her in.
That servant sat in the room for a while. After giving a few instructions, she let Feng Yu Heng sit on the bed by herself. She went outside to busy herself. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she immediately ordered the servants outside: "Lock the door and watch carefully. Don't let even a fly out!"
A servant girl outside immediately replied: "Mother-in-law, what are you saying? This room is clean and tidy. Moreover, it's cold outside. How could there be a fly?"
That servant snorted and left a message: "In any case, watch carefully. I will go invite the leader over. With the leader's temperament, when the new madam enters, even if today is his birthday banquet, he will definitely come over to take a look." After saying that, she flung her sleeves and left.
As soon as she left, the sound of the door being locked could be heard. Feng Yu Heng curled her lips and lifted the veil on her head. She looked around the room. There was an inner room and an outer room. In the middle, there was a small screen. The windows were tightly shut. Through the paper window, she could clearly see many wooden strips nailed to the outside. It was like a cage.
She sneered as she got up. The bed she was sitting on seemed to have taken some effort. It was completely covered with a bright red blanket with mandarin ducks embroidered on it. Even the pillow was made of a whole piece of red jade and covered with mink fur. It was extremely extravagant.
She didn't wait any longer. She quickly pulled Madam Lu out of the space and threw her onto the bed. Then, she hurriedly took off all her clothes. After thinking for a while, she simply stuffed them back into the space and tucked her under the blanket. After doing all this, she stretched out her hand and pressed down on one of her acupuncture points. The temporary coma caused by the heavy blow to the back of her head immediately passed and she woke up.
But just as she woke up, Feng Yu Heng's hand pinched a silver needle and quickly placed it on several of her acupuncture points. Madam Lu felt her body go numb and she couldn't move in an instant. Not only couldn't she move, her mouth couldn't speak. But her eyes were working and her mind was clear. She stared blankly at Feng Yu Heng, her heart filled with endless panic.
She really wanted to ask who exactly Feng Yu Heng was, but she couldn't speak. There was nothing she could do even if she was anxious. As for Feng Yu Heng, she was currently looking down at her with a smile on her face. The feeling of having the world in her grasp was revealed without any reservation. Where was the timid servant that had been sold by her master to follow at her side.
Madam Lu finally realized that she had been deceived. But why would this servant girl deceive her? Who was this person? Also, where exactly was she lying? Why did she feel as though she was naked?
Countless question marks appeared in her mind. Unfortunately, it was impossible for Feng Yu Heng to give her any answers. She just opened her mouth and faintly said: "Since you want to curry favor with Duan Mu An Guo so much, just use the most direct method. What is the point of sending a servant. If you want to get on this bed, you should be the one to say it. " After saying this, she raised her hand and covered madam Lu's eyes with a large red handkerchief, completely blocking her vision from the red.
Feng Yu Heng straightened her body and curled her lips into a faint smile. She then very leisurely walked around the room. After determining that there was nothing worth discovering, she did not delay any longer. Covering her left wrist with her right hand, she disappeared and used her space to quickly leave.
Her destination was the temple that the head madam was in. When the granny had set the rules the previous night, she had told her that every time a concubine entered the manor, they would need to first kowtow to the head madam outside the temple, but the head madam did not see them at all. That was why this procedure was skipped. Instead, a servant would bring the concubine's name card to the temple for the head madam to take a look.
In the courtyard that Feng Yu Heng had been sent to, there just happened to be a servant that had received orders to deliver the name card to the temple. She followed her the entire way, appearing and disappearing. Only when she reached the small path in front of the temple did she suddenly take action and knock the servant unconscious. She then threw the person and the name card into her space. After thinking for a while, he decided to go in and change into the servant girl's clothes. When he came out again, he had already become a servant of the Leader's Manor.
She quickly walked toward the temple. Passing through the corridor, she arrived in front of a moon-shaped door. As expected, she was stopped by two female guards that clearly had some martial arts training. One of them asked her: "Where did you come from?"
Feng Yu Heng quickly replied: "This servant was ordered to deliver the new madam's name card."
"New madam?" The female guard coldly snorted, "Really, even cats and dogs have the nerve to call themselves madam." As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Feng Yu Heng: "Give it to me."
Feng Yu Heng awkwardly said: "There is no name card this time."
"No name card? What are you doing here if there is no name card? "
Feng Yu Heng quickly explained: "Because the identity of the new madam entering the manor this time is rather awkward, Lord Lieutenant ordered that this servant not be allowed to make a name card. This servant only needs to come and verbally inform the head madam."
"Oh?" The two female guards heard that there seemed to be a story behind this. Their eyes met and one of them asked: "What is the identity of the new madam?"
Feng Yu Heng sighed softly and said: "She is Lord Lieutenant's … grandniece."
