That night, Chen Yu ate dinner outside the manor.
The letter invited her to a private room on the second floor of the Bright Moon Restaurant in the city, but it didn't specify who she was supposed to meet.
Yi Yue only told Chen Yu that it was sent by a servant guarding the door, and the messenger was a child. Once the letter was handed to the Feng manor's people, it immediately ran away.
Yi Yue did not approve of Chen Yu going out at this time. After all, it was already late. Moreover, they did not know who it was. If there was a trap, would something not happen?
But Chen Yu insisted on leaving the manor. For some reason, she felt that the person who wrote the letter was definitely an old friend. Also, meeting this old friend would definitely bring about some changes to her life.
There was nothing that Yi Yue could do and could only accompany Chen Yu out. Master and servant sat in a carriage and rushed to the second floor of Ming Yue Building. There was already a waiter waiting there. Upon seeing them arrive, he quickly went over to greet them, asking: "Are you young miss surnamed Feng?"
Before Feng Chen Yu left, she used a veil to cover her face. Hearing the waiter ask, she nodded then followed the waiter to a private room.
When she arrived, the person inside was already drinking tea. It was a girl wearing plain clothes and a bamboo hat. She was very thin.
She ordered Yi Yue to stand guard outside and walked in alone. She then heard the bamboo hat girl say: "For eldest young miss Feng to be able to come, it seems that you have a bit of courage."
Once she spoke, Chen Yu immediately recognized who it was. She saluted to the other party and said: "So it was imperial daughter Qing Le."
The other party put down the cup of tea in her hand and slightly nodded, saying to Chen Yu: "Sit."
Only then did Chen Yu sit across from Qing Le and remove her veil. She then said to Qing Le: "There are only the two of us in this private room. Imperial daughter, why bother with wearing a bamboo hat."
Qing Le was slightly startled and tightly clenched her fists. She then gritted her teeth and said: "I can't take it off. I fear that I will never dare take it off in this lifetime."
Qing Le was startled then recalled Ding An palace being burned down, "Your face was burned?" Once this was asked, she felt that something was off. Qing Le was wearing a bamboo hat, but her veil was very thin. Sitting across from her, she could clearly see that Qing Le's face had not changed. "What exactly happened?" Chen Yu realized that something was not quite right and quickly asked.
Qing Le clenched her teeth and fiercely said: "Thanks to your second sister, my hair was burned off!" Finished speaking, she suddenly pulled off the bamboo hat on her head.
Chen Yu was stunned. It turned out that under Qing Le's bamboo hat was a bald head. Her once beautiful head of hair now did not have a single strand remaining. On her scalp were ugly scars. Some of the scars had crusted over, while others had bloodstains. It was truly disgusting.
Chen Yu felt like vomiting a few times, but she forced herself to endure the discomfort.
Qing Le mocked himself: "You'll get used to it. When I first saw this head, I almost chopped it off myself. You know what? My Bufa will never grow again. Imperial Father has invited many doctors, but all of them said that it will never grow again. "
Qing Le's eyes turned red. For a woman to be burned like this, she no longer had any hope in this life.
But she was originally a princess! Although her father was conferred the title of prince, she was still much more noble than the girls from other families. But she never thought that she would fall to such a state … "It's all because of that Feng Yu Heng. I will definitely kill her!"
Feng Chen Yu was very smart. She knew that Qing Le had not called her out just to complain. The relationship between the two could not be considered good. If she wanted to complain, she would not be able to find her. Thinking about it, Qing Le should want to work together with her enemy's enemy to drag Feng Yu Heng down from her high position.
Chen Yu knew that if she heard the other's thoughts and secrets, she would definitely need to use her own secrets in exchange. Only like this could she gain a deeper level of friendship.
Thus she took the initiative to pour herself a cup of tea; however, she did not drink it. Instead, she dipped her handkerchief in the tea. After it was wet, she wiped her eyebrows in front of Qing Le. After a while, her eyebrows had been wiped clean. There was nothing left.
Qing Le was completely stunned. Feng Chen Yu's face had always been the object of envy for all women. She could not associate it with the eyebrow-less freak in front of her!
Chen Yu saw Qing Le's expression and knew that she had achieved her goal. She quickly pushed her hair down, covering her eyebrows. "Thanks to Feng Yu Heng, I now have the same appearance as imperial daughter."
Qing Le was puzzled, "How did you do it? Did she shave it for you? "
Chen Yu smiled bitterly, "Thinking about it, imperial daughter should have heard about what happened at my mother's funeral, right?"
"Your brother setting the fire?"
"Un." Chen Yu nodded then said: "But how could there be a reason for a son to deliberately set a fire. Was it not because my brother knew that mother had been killed by Feng Yu Heng that he lost control and wanted to kill her. In a moment of carelessness, he set the mourning hall on fire and burned my eyebrows. Imperial daughter, tell me, if I do not look for Feng Yu Heng to settle this debt, could it be that I will look for my brother? "
Qing Le agreed with her thoughts: "Naturally, you will need to settle this debt with Feng Yu Heng. Your brother did not do anything wrong. If it were me, I would also tear her to shreds to vent my anger. That's right, can your eyebrows grow back? "
Chen Yu smiled bitterly, "I have asked a doctor. Although they can grow back, the process of growing back for the first time is extremely long. At the very least, there is no hope for them to grow back within a year. If I want them to grow back to their previous state, it will take at least two to three years. Two to three years, huh. I am fourteen this year. After three years, I will have long passed the best age for marriage. "She deliberately made it sound a little more serious for the sake of pandering to Qing Le's mood. In truth, her eyebrows should be able to grow back in less than half a year. In seven or eight months, they should be as good as new.
The more Qing Le heard, the angrier she became. She then thought of her own hair, "At least you can grow them back. I, however, will forever remain like this."
Chen Yu felt that the two had reached a consensus, thus she did not wait for Qing Le to explain her intentions. She took the initiative to say: "In truth, Chen Yu and imperial daughter originally did not have any conflict. Now that we have a common enemy, why does imperial daughter not work together with Chen Yu to take back everything that we have lost?"
Qing Le felt that Chen Yu was very understanding, thus she did not continue to keep her in suspense. Nodding, she said: "I came to find you today for this purpose. After all, you and she are both living in the Feng family. You should be more clear about her daily life than I am. Also, I have not been an imperial daughter for the past few years for nothing. I have some influence on the outside. If you and I work together, there is no need to fear that Feng Yu Heng will not fall for your tricks. "
Chen Yu was very happy to have a helper in taking care of Feng Yu Heng, thus she quickly nodded and said: "Imperial daughter, do not worry. In the future, if imperial daughter needs anything from Chen Yu, just tell me. But how will we communicate? Always sending letters to the manor is definitely no good. "
Qing Le had already made plans for this, telling Chen Yu: "This Ming Yue Building is under our palace's name. If I have any news, I will have someone send it here. You should also send a capable servant to run over here. If you have any plans, you can also leave a letter with the shopkeeper."
At this point, Qing Le and Chen Yu had officially formed an alliance. As for all of this, Feng Yu Heng naturally did not know. She was currently with Yao shi preparing the things that Zirui would need to bring to Xiao Zhou.
Yao shi decided to send Zirui away as soon as possible. First, it was to show a positive attitude to the academy. Second, she also wanted to have Zirui leave the Feng family. She feared that something would happen in this place that had never been peaceful.
In regards to this, Feng Yu Heng was very much in favor of it. She always felt that the death of the Shen Clan and the departure of Fen Dai and Feng Zi Hao would not allow the Feng manor to settle down. That Feng Chen Yu was also not someone that could just swallow her words. Her mother and brother had fallen to this sort of fate. If she did not do anything, she would not be Feng Chen Yu.
Of course, Feng Yu Heng was not afraid of Chen Yu doing anything to her, but she was afraid that Yao shi and Zirui would be implicated. In truth, she really wanted Yao shi to accompany Zirui to Xiao Zhou, but Zirui had said that he was a man. How could he not leave his mother's side no matter where he went. For the sake of training his ability to be independent, she could only give up on this idea.
The next morning, after eating breakfast, the members of the Feng family once again gathered in front of the Feng manor's entrance.
This time, however, it was a joyous occasion. Feng Zirui had been accepted by Yun Lu Academy's head teacher, imperial tutor Ye Rong, as a personal disciple. What sort of glorious matter was this? Even Feng Jin Yuan, who stood at the entrance and gently patted Zirui's head, felt his face shine.
In the end, he was a father. His children's bright future was always more exciting than his own high position. He patted Zirui's head and warned him: "When you get there, you must listen to the head teacher. You must not be lazy. You must not learn bad things from bad children. You are a personal disciple. Not only must you learn from the head teacher, you must also learn to take care of the head teacher's daily needs. A teacher for a day is a father for life. You must not be like a normal student and blindly take things from your teacher. You must know how to give. "
Zirui nodded as if he understood. His small head then turned towards Feng Yu Heng.
She walked forward and repeated Feng Jin Yuan's words to Zirui. She then said: "You must remember what father said. It's fine if you don't understand now. Sooner or later, there will come a day when you will understand." In regards to Feng Jin Yuan's words, Feng Yu Heng agreed very much. She even felt that this was the most reliable thing her father had ever said. "Zirui, you are a big child. In the future, you will not be able to return home often. That's why you must be extra careful when you are outside. From this moment on, your master will also be your father. No matter what happens, ask your master to help resolve it. That is the best method. "
Zirui nodded seriously and saluted to Feng Yu Heng and Feng Jin Yuan: "Zirui has remembered everything. Thank you father and sister for your teachings. Father, please take care of your health." After saying this, he turned to the matriarch: "Zirui is unable to fulfill his filial duties before grandmother. I hope grandmother will not blame him."
Tears began to flow from the matriarch's eyes. They had both been sent to Yun Lu Academy, but this time, it was much more dignified and touching than when they had sent Zi Hao.
Yao shi hugged Zirui and cried for a while. Feng Yu Heng finally managed to pull the two apart and promised Zirui that she would definitely go to Xiao Zhou to visit him after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Only then did she help the child into the carriage.
Watching the carriage depart, Feng Jin Yuan replayed the words that the matriarch had said in his mind once more. He actually began to have a bit of hope. He hoped that the Yao family would be fine. Like this, he could bring Yao shi back. Like this, Zirui and Feng Yu Heng would once again be his son and daughter of the first wife. Like this, the second daughter to the first wife would be Princess Yu, and the second son to the first wife would be the Emperor's junior brother to the first wife. How glorious would that be!
When he turned around, he noticed the matriarch's gaze. Feng Jin Yuan knew that the matriarch had the same thoughts as him.
After sending off Zirui, everyone was preparing to return to the manor when they saw a carriage slowly approaching from the distance.
The matriarch let out a "huh" sound and immediately recognized the style of the carriage. She quickly said: "Wait a moment, that seems to be a carriage from the palace!"
