Looking at the trembling Sun Lan, even someone as kind as Feng Yi couldn't help but laugh unkindly.
He couldn't help but say, "You're indeed much fairer. Now you're a handsome young man. Do you feel at ease now?"
The pearl powder mask did have some effect. Sun Lan's face looked much fairer, and the acne on her face disappeared, leaving only shallow acne marks. Looking at Sun Lan's pitiful look, Feng Yi said the effect was ten percent, which made him feel at ease.
Sun Lan let out a long sigh of relief. He immediately realized that he was acting a little silly, so he couldn't help but smile shyly.
"It's good that you're fairer."
His current appearance wouldn't be despised by Jinghui.
Feng Yi invited his friend, "Lan, do you want to rest in my house for a few days?"
He knew about Sun Lan's situation. The Sun family only had Sun Lan and Old Master Sun Wen. The old master was at the front line of Zhanjiang Pass, and only a few servants and housekeepers were left to take care of the mansion in the city. Sun Lan would be alone in the mansion, so it would be better to stay in his house for a few days.
Sun Lan declined Feng Yi's invitation.
He hadn't been back for a few years, and there were still some chores to take care of, such as the performance of the housekeepers and servants, the management of the mansion, whether there was any embezzlement … If there were any dirty hands and feet, he should get rid of them as soon as possible, so that the mansion wouldn't be in a mess.
Even though Sun Lan had no relatives at home, she still had to go back to reorganize.
Feng Yi was sensible and didn't force it.
"That's good. When you're done, we'll go to the school together."
Both families received the news of their return in advance. The housekeeper of Feng Yi's mansion had been waiting outside the city for a few days, but there was no news from Sun Lan. The housekeeper who welcomed Feng Yi was very enthusiastic, and he looked at the young master with gratification. This housekeeper wasn't only an old man by Feng Zhen's side, but also an elder who watched Feng Yi grow up. Looking at the handsome and elegant young master, he was so excited that he almost cried. He couldn't help but say that Feng Yi was taller and more handsome, but also thinner and darker. If he didn't restrain himself, he might have overstepped his boundaries.
Seeing the familiar old man, Feng Yi smiled gently and helped him up before the old housekeeper could greet him.
"Ever since we received the news, Madame sent me to wait for you outside the city. You're finally here."
The old housekeeper's eyes were brimming with tears. He was truly moved by Fengyi's return.
Feng Yi sighed and asked about the situation at home.
The old butler said, "Everything is good, everything is good in the manor."
Feng Yi asked, "I received a letter from home earlier. I heard that Mother caught a cold. Is she feeling better?"
The "mother" he spoke of was naturally not his biological mother, but Feng Zhen's current second wife, Wan Xiu 'er.
Feng Yi had always respected this stepmother. Before Wan Xiu 'er married Feng Zhen, she had been living in the Feng Manor with the tacit cooperation of the father and son. Although the young Feng Yi was carefully taken care of by the housekeeper and servants, he was not as meticulous as the female elders in many aspects. After they became familiar with each other, Wan Xiu'er often took care of Feng Yi's daily life, which also laid a good foundation for the mother and son.
Apart from the age difference, the relationship between mother and son was probably closer than that of an ordinary landowning household.
"Madam has been feeling better for a long time. It's just that she has been busy with the affairs of the manor recently and can't make time for it. That's why she sent me to fetch Eldest Langjun." It was rare for a stepmother and a stepson to get along well. The old housekeeper was also very pleased that the two had a good relationship. After all, everything went well in a harmonious family.
Feng Yi said seriously, "Mother is an elder. How could she be sent to wait for the younger generation?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Eldest Langjun is right."
After some small talk, Feng Yi noticed the situation with Sun Lan and frowned slightly.
The two of them had rushed back in a hurry, but they had already sent a message to the manor in advance. Why didn't anyone come to fetch Sun Lan?
However, it was not convenient to ask these questions in public, so they could only keep it to themselves.
Because of the initial city planning, Jiang Fei's subordinates lived in the inner circle. Most of Ji Yi's officials lived in the inner circle. In Salted Fish's words, they were the first or second circle. Feng Zhen was the first batch to receive the land deed for the house. Sun Wen joined later, so his house was naturally located further away.
Even so, the two of them still traveled together for a while.
"Madam, Eldest Langjun is back!"
Just as Feng Yi's carriage arrived at the main entrance of the manor, a servant passed the news to Wan Xiu'er.
"Rong Li is back?"
Wan Xiu'er had lived a comfortable and contented life in the past few years. Time did not leave any traces on her face. Instead, it added some charm to her face. Looking at her face, Zhen Zhen's face was like a goose's egg, and her skin was smooth and creamy. Her seductive phoenix eyes were filled with ripples, unlike the dead deep pool they used to be. Her eyes were slender and curved, and her arched eyebrows were like willow leaves in February. Her body was graceful and slim, and her whole body was full of mature charm. Looking at her appearance, no one would believe that she was in her early thirties. People would even believe that she was a young woman in her early twenties.
"Greetings, Mother."
Wan Xiu'er said, "Get up quickly. My son is back. Let me take a good look at him."
Looking at the handsome Feng Yi, Wan Xiu'er's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions and a faint sense of regret.
If only her first child could be born into the world, perhaps …
Thinking of this, Wan Xiu'er was too regretful to continue thinking.
She had a child with her scumbag ex-husband, but that scumbag ex-husband was too much of a scumbag. Under the urging of his ex-mother-in-law and concubines, he doubted Wan Xiu'er's innocence and insisted that Wan Xiu'er had been defiled in a bandit village. He even brought up a fallacious theory — a woman's first child was the blood of her first husband. If she wanted to give birth to her husband's child, her first child had to be cleanly aborted to wash away the stain left behind by her first husband. Thus, the scumbag husband personally gave Wan Xiu'er an insidious substance that caused her to have an abortion, causing her to lose her child.
Wan Xiu'er's body was already weak, and it was difficult for her to get pregnant. Coupled with that blow, she had no news even after marrying Feng Zhen for so long.
Of course, Feng Zhen's frequent business trips was also a big reason.
Now that she was over thirty, she no longer had any thoughts of getting pregnant. She could only pour all her tenderness into Feng Yi.
"Mother, your son is doing very well now."
Feng Yi turned around for her to see.
"I know you're doing well, but I don't feel at ease until I see it with my own eyes." Wan Xiu'er saw that his clothes were a little thin, and the fabric was a little faded and hairy. She said gently, "I asked the servants to tidy up your room a few days ago. Go and see if there's anything missing. Later, I'll ask the embroidery maids to come and measure for you and make a few new clothes. You can't wear the clothes that were left in the manor in the past. "
Feng Yi said, "Okay."
"When school ends at the Golden Scale Academy, Changsheng might come to the manor." Wan Xiu'er said with a smile, "Changsheng has become more and more beautiful these two years. She's also sensible and considerate. She's afraid that I'll be lonely in the manor, so she often comes to visit."
Feng Yi's smile deepened.
