Chapter 432: Cannon Fodder in Stepmother's Story 4
Before Feng Zhining was reborn, the prince unfortunately died in an accident. In addition, the emperor had not yet granted the original owner a marriage at that time, so the original owner was able to regain her freedom.
Later, the original owner also married Qi Yuqing, but her reputation was not damaged as it was this time.
So after the original owner married Qi Yuqing, although they had some bumps in the road, as time went by, they eventually fell in love and eventually created a harmonious life.
In this life, as soon as Feng Zhining was reborn, the first thought in her mind was to try every possible way to prevent the original owner from becoming Qi Yuqing's wife.
At the banquet hosted by the eldest princess, Feng Zhining set up an elaborate plan. First, she deliberately soiled the original owner's gorgeous dress, and then she tricked the original owner into going to a secluded guest house.
Relying on his rebirth, Feng Zhining knew the whole process of the flower viewing banquet clearly.
He had already quietly lit the confusing powder in the guest house in advance.
Huoxinsan is an extremely powerful drug. Once inhaled into the body, it can make people fall into a fantasy and unable to extricate themselves.
Not only that, it can also cause people to look crazy and insane.
The most crucial point is that when the Douxin Powder burns, the fragrance it emits is no different from ordinary incense, and it is difficult for others to detect the difference.
The reason why Feng Zhining took such great pains to use the Confusing Heart Powder was simply to let everyone know that the original owner who seemed gentle, virtuous and flawless was actually not like that.
She wanted to expose the flaws in the original owner's character and let everyone know that the original owner was by no means an ideal candidate for a wife.
More importantly, Feng Zhining wanted to prove to the world that the original owner was incapable of raising a good child.
Feng Zhining didn't want to stop the original owner from marrying the prince. She knew very well that the prince would die sooner or later, and by then it would be impossible for the original owner to marry him.
Feng Zhining just wanted to stop the original owner from marrying Qi Yuqing. A girl with a violent and crazy personality was not the type of daughter-in-law the Qi family wanted.
But Feng Zhining never expected that such a small calculation would be completely out of her control.
She clearly had not instructed anyone to lure Qin Ke to the guest house, but when everyone hurried to the guest house, they found that the original owner and Qin Ke were actually in the same room!
Faced with this sudden situation, in order to maintain her innocence, the original owner picked up the hairpin in her hand without hesitation and stabbed Qin Ke fiercely.
Not only that, the original owner was even cruel to herself, stabbing her thigh several times with the hairpin, and the blood instantly dyed her skirt red...
Feng Zhining stood in the middle of the crowd, staring blankly at the original owner covered in blood, feeling like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
When she learned that Yuan Xinkai had drowned, she was struck by lightning and turned pale in an instant. Her originally beautiful face turned extremely pale.
You know, before her rebirth, Yuan Xinkai had always been lively and healthy!
Moreover, due to his outstanding performance in the army, he was named a young general at a young age.
But now, how could he suddenly drown?
Feng Zhining began to doubt whether the memories in her mind were true and reliable, and the sense of superiority she had when she was reborn disappeared in an instant.
From then on, Feng Zhining retreated into her shell like a frightened turtle, not daring to make any rash moves.
In this way, she successfully avoided many suspicious and inquiring eyes.
Although this series of events completely exceeded her expectations, it is undeniable that the original owner's reputation was affected to a certain extent and left some flaws.
Just when Feng Zhining was fully convinced that the original owner would not be able to marry Qi Yuqing like in the previous life, an accident happened again.
When the original owner's grandfather was dying, he used his last breath to arrange the original owner's marriage with Qi Yuqing.
It only took one month from the engagement to the official wedding.
Such a hasty arrangement meant that Feng Zhining had no time to react at all. The matter was already set in stone and could not be changed.
Feng Zhining was unwilling to accept this result.
After all, her biggest wish after her rebirth was to marry Qi Yuqing.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to reject the other young men carefully selected for her by Feng, and even caused the Feng family to be dissatisfied with her.
Feng Zhining has been restless since the original owner married Qi Yuqing, and often mentions the outside world's negative comments about the original owner intentionally or unintentionally on various occasions.
They even spread the news that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had become infamous and fallen into disgrace because of the original owner.
Not only that, she racked her brains and quietly stirred up trouble between the original owner and Qi Yuqing, creating all kinds of misunderstandings.
Under such continuous blows, the original owner was depressed all day long, and eventually died in just a few years.
However, Feng Zhining was able to become well-known in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion thanks to her sisterly friendship with the original owner.
After that, she became more and more unscrupulous, using all her tricks to raise her own value, climbing up step by step on the corpse of the original owner, and finally got married to Qi Yuqing as she wished.
After becoming the second wife, Feng Zhining used all kinds of tricks to try her best to play the role of stepmother well.
She successfully won the favor of Qi Yuqing's daughter, and the two got along very well and their feelings grew deeper and deeper.
This made Qi Yuqing look at the virtuous Feng Zhining with admiration, and gradually turned his attention to her.
What a happy step-wife and warm step-mother story.
Yuan Wei quickly unraveled these plots and extracted a crucial clue - the third prince was the ultimate winner in the battle for the throne.
Zishu was the spy secretly planted by the third prince next to Feng Zhining.
But Feng Zhining was completely unaware of this and was kept in the dark.
It was not until much later that she accidentally discovered Zishu's identity as a spy.
It was then that she suddenly realized who was behind the conspiracy against the original owner and Yuan Xinkai.
Even though he already knew Zishu's true identity, Feng Zhining not only did not choose to reveal the matter, but instead turned the tables and cleverly used Zishu to convey information that was beneficial to him to the Third Prince, in order to gain his favor frantically.
What puzzled Yuan Wei was why the Third Prince, while plotting against the original owner, also pointed the finger at Yuan Xinkai?
If it is said that he intended to destroy the engagement between the original owner and the prince, and thus prevent the prince from gaining the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it would be reasonable.
But why did they act so hastily against Yuan Xinkai?
Yuan Jingsi sat upright in the chair, tapping the armrest lightly with his slender fingers, as if he was deep in thought.
After a moment, he slowly said, "Third Prince..."
Seeing this, Yuan Wei said, "Father, you might as well check out the nanny who wanted to drown my seventh brother. And the maidservant named Zishu who was beside my cousin, that maidservant is the Third Prince's."
