Five minutes after Feng Songjie left, Bai Weiyang, who was sitting by the window, let out a maniacal laugh!

“Pfft! Hahahahahaha!”

She hugged her stomach and could not stop laughing!

If Feng Songjie knew that she was the culprit who had teased him twice in a row, he would probably immediately pounce on her and strangle her. Unfortunately, he knew nothing and even treated her like a fool!

His enemy had brazenly moved into his house and become the Military Governor’s wife!

The person he was looking for was right beside him.

No matter how she thought about it, this matter was hilarious!

Bai Weiyang knew that Feng Songjie would rarely come to this new room in the future, so she began to unpack her luggage openly. She hid the precious camera in the depths of the mahogany cabinet and casually placed the gun and jade pendant in the drawer beside her.

The most dangerous place was the safest place.

After unpacking her luggage, she finally fell asleep.

What Bai Weiyang didn’t know was that when Feng Songjie left the new house, someone in the dark also left quickly!

The side courtyard of the Military Governor Manor.

The maidservant with two braids took advantage of the night and quickly ran into the courtyard. She pushed open the door and said happily,

“Mistress! There’s good news.”

In front of the glass mirror behind the screen sat a beautiful young woman in a dress. She wore a blouse with a low neckline, wide sleeves that reached her elbows. The cuffs were wide and fat. The hem was straight, and she was wearing a beautiful embroidered mamian skirt1! On her feet was a pair of scalloped shoes!

She reeked of the afterglow of the Qing Dynasty.

This was the Military Governor’s Mansion’s Third Concubine, Zhao Zhi!

Third Concubine glared at her maidservant. “What good news can there be!”

Chunqin clenched her fists nervously and waved her handkerchief.

“The Military Governor entered the new room, but he only stayed for 20 minutes before leaving with a dark expression!”

“Is that so?”

Third Concubine stood up excitedly.

Her dejected eyes lit up.

“Chunqin saw it clearly!”

Third Concubine held on to her comb as she forced herself to sit down calmly. The gloominess of the day was swept away and her eyes were filled with smugness.

“During the day, I knew the Military Governor’s intentions when I saw that he ask Adjutant Yang to replace him as the groom at the wedding. However, I thought he could accept that fool when I saw him appear during the toast! Indeed, the fool was banished in less than a day! What’s so impressive about being the Military Governor’s wife? It only sounds good!”

Chunqin stood behind Third Concubine, combing her black hair. She was still grinning from ear to ear.

Third Concubine asked as she looked at the beautiful face in the dressing mirror, applying the night moisturizer before bed. She closed her eyes and massaged the skin at the corner of her eyes.

“Is there no reaction from Yu Youwei?”

Chunqin shook her head.

Third Concubine could not hide the smile on her face.

“She’s just a singer from the Heavenly Music Club who was brought back by the Military Governor! She really knows her place! She doesn’t dare to fight us!”

Then, she asked again,

“Did Second Concubine react?”

Chunqin scratched her head. “There’s no reaction from her. She didn’t send anyone to keep an eye on the marital bedroom, either. I wonder what Second Concubine is thinking.”

Third Concubine pursed her lips and said,

“What else can she think? So what if she’s Second Concubine? Look at her age. She’s almost 30 years old. No matter how well she takes care of herself, she’s like a flower that’s starting to decline after blooming! She’s already like a pile of smashed tofu! She still wants to compete with me for the Military Governor?”

Chunqin nodded and said, “Mistress, this fool is nothing to worry about! As long as the Military Governor likes you, we still have a lot of bargaining chips. When the time comes, he will promote you to be the wife. You’ll be a couple with the Military Governor. Who will remember that there’s a stupid wife in the Military Governor’s residence!”
