Chapter 5: 005 [Heaven-Slaying Arc] Teasing the Crown Prince

In a dense forest not far away, a pair of dark, eerie eyes watched the entire process. When he heard Feng Yunmo say, "You only told me to stop my hands, not to stop my feet," the man hidden in the forest smiled secretly. That little fellow was a bit cunning, a bit heartless, and a bit cold.

"Greetings, Crown Prince." The two people who had been fished out performed a slight bow, saluting Crown Prince Mu Lingjun.

"Fourth Sister, what exactly is going on? Why were you in the water?" Feng Hantian asked seriously.

"Big Brother, I was just passing by and saw Seventh Sister looking for something, so I walked over to ask. Seventh Sister said her hairpin fell into a pile of grass and asked me to help her look for it. I thought it was no big deal and helped her, but who would have thought she would actually launch a sneak attack from behind? It was bad enough that she pushed me into the water, but she wouldn't even let me get back onto the shore. Look, my hands—look at what she did to them by stepping on them."

Feng Yunyi presented her hands to Feng Hantian and Mu Lingjun. Her hands were indeed red and swollen; Feng Yunmo had stepped on them with great force just now.

Mu Lingjun gave them a faint glance, his cold eyes showing no ripple of emotion.

Seeing the Crown Prince's calm expression, Feng Yunyi continued, "Just now, Second Sister gave her a few words of instruction. Unexpectedly, instead of helping, she pushed Second Sister into the water as well. To think the Empress holds such high expectations for her, yet she repays the Empress with such a malicious heart."

After speaking, she turned her head slightly and shot a meaningful glance at Feng Yunshang beside her.

Feng Yunshang lowered her eyes slightly, putting on an air of fragility that invited pity: "Fourth Sister, how can you blame Seventh Sister? Her mind hasn't been right since she was a child, and being playful is just her nature. You know that with Seventh Sister like this, she shouldn't have been allowed to play by the lake. Fortunately, it was you who fell in and you know how to swim. If it had been Seventh Sister falling in and she injured her brain further, then that would truly be a disservice to the Empress."

By mentioning the Empress on one side and the Empress on the other, the two were trying to remind Mu Lingjun that he had a foolish fiancée by his side, who was a massive laughingstock.

Mu Lingjun's expression changed slightly. Indeed, that fool was his disgrace.

A hairpin? That was too ridiculous. If she could find a hairpin on top of Feng Yunmo's head, she would have to thank the Feng family ancestors.

They were harsh with her regarding even eating and drinking, let alone ensuring she wore her clothes properly. The clothes she was wearing had been bought with her personal maid Lü Ying's own money; she had been wearing them for two years. Since she had grown just a little bit, the clothes had been a size too large when she first got them, so they actually fit well now.

She kept Lü Ying's kindness toward her deep in her heart.

Feng Yunmo let out a few laughs. "Since you all know I have problems with my brain, you should walk the long way around when you see me in the future. That way, if I start acting foolish and my hands get itchy and I accidentally drown someone in the lake, don't go blaming me."

"Yunmo, the Crown Prince is here. You must not say such vicious words in front of him," Feng Hantian scolded.

"Big Brother, even the Crown Prince hasn't said anything, so why is the eunuch in such a hurry? Since I'm not allowed to say vicious words in front of the Crown Prince, then I'll just say them behind his back. Is that fine?" After saying this, she moved behind Mu Lingjun.

*Pfft...* A eunuch? The Crown Prince's sparring guard was actually branded a eunuch by his own sister. The man in the dense forest covered his mouth, his stomach twitching slightly. This little fellow was too interesting; he hadn't expected to encounter such an amusing person upon visiting the General's Mansion.

Feng Hantian was naturally flushed with rage at the word "eunuch," wishing he could draw the sword in his hand and cut Feng Yunmo in two to serve as food for his sister's battle beast.
