When everyone else dispersed, Feng Xintong did not return to her room. She took advantage of Housekeeper Xing sending Sheng Ning back to sneak into the right annex.
Previously, Qin Cuifen was confined here.
It was also her who spoke up to prevent Qin Cuifen from being dealt with, choosing instead to temporarily confine her. This was her plan all along; the enemy of her enemy is her friend. Qin Cuifen's hatred for Feng Zhenzhen gave her an opportunity to use.
Today's banquet was busy; the Feng family deployed a large number of bodyguards, including escorting some important guests away. So, apart from the outside being guarded, there was only one guard inside the annex.
Feng Xintong unexpectedly used a bat to knock the guard unconscious, then boldly approached the cell where Qin Cuifen was detained.
Qin Cuifen was almost driven mad from confinement; seeing someone suddenly appear, she treated them like a lifeline.
