Zirui was pulled to the side by Yao shi. With great difficulty, he steadied himself and did not fall. Raising his head, he saw Yao shi's slightly fierce appearance that gave him a fright.
He subconsciously took a couple steps back and looked at Feng Yu Heng. He then firmly told Yao shi: "Elder sister is elder sister."
Yao shi stubbornly shook her head: "No!"
"Enough!" Feng Yu Heng could not continue listening. She suddenly slapped the stone table and stood up. She used a little too much strength, and a crack appeared on the stone table from her slap.
Yao shi looked at the crack on the table and said to Zirui: "Look, she knows martial arts. How could your elder sister know these things?"
Zirui also began to argue with Yao shi. Every time she said something, he would retort back, "So what if it's martial arts? Martial arts are all learned. Right now, I can hold a sword and fight dozens of rounds with people. Mother, do you also think that I am not your son? Elder sister had a fortuitous encounter in the Northwest. This is something that even the emperor believes. Why do you not believe it? Moreover, isn't it good that she learned martial arts? Without martial arts, how could she protect us? How did we end up living in this imperial daughter's manor? Mother, why don't you think that the current elder sister is better than the elder sister of the past? "
With the mother and daughters quarreling, the servants in the yard did not dare make a sound. They all hid far away, not listening, not watching. Even Wang Chuan and Huang Quan hid in Feng Yu Heng's courtyard. They even closed the door to the manor, telling the Imperial Guard outside that the imperial daughter's manor was rejecting all guests today.
Yao shi could not accept that both her children had turned against her. She sat on the stone bench and stared blankly. She did her best to not let her tears fall. She also wanted to live a good life with her children, but her daughter's change had already become a thorn in her heart. It had pierced deep into her heart, making it impossible for her to pull it out. She also knew that Zirui was right. The current Cheng Heng was better than the past, but the past … the past Cheng Heng was closer, closer from the heart.
She didn't know what had happened during this period. Feng Yu Heng's body and appearance hadn't changed at all, but she was the mother. She was the one who gave birth to the child. No one could be clearer and keener than her to discover the strangeness. She firmly believed that they were two different people, and this belief continued to expand until it became deeply rooted.
However, could her original daughter come back?
Looking at Feng Yu Heng in despair, Yao shi took a few deep breaths and did her best to adjust her mood to a slightly acceptable state. When she opened her mouth again, she said: "Since you are my daughter, then where it is possible to forgive people, one should forgive them. So many people from the Feng family have died. It's enough. He is your father. If you kill him, you will … you will be punished by the heavens. "
Feng Yu Heng didn't know where Yao shi had gotten this idea from, nor did she know why she was so certain that she wanted to kill Feng Jin Yuan. She had just sent that person to prison, and that was just a normal prison in the capital's government office. How could it have anything to do with the word "death"?
She looked at Yao shi again. For the first time, she saw a resolute look in this mother's eyes. Perhaps this wasn't the first time. Back when Yao shi had obtained the imperial decree from the palace to divorce Feng Jin Yuan, she had also revealed this resolute look. Unfortunately, not much time had passed. When this resolute look appeared once more, Yao shi was pleading for mercy for Feng Jin Yuan.
Feng Yu Heng did not want to explain too much about whether or not Feng Jin Yuan would die. She only asked Yao shi: "Then what if your daughter died? She was sent to the Northwest by that so-called father and starved to death. She was killed by someone or fell to her death in the mountains. Or perhaps she was killed by an assassin sent by father on the way back to the capital. Mother, if it was like this, would you also stand in front of Feng Jin Yuan and demand justice from him? "
Yao shi did not know how to respond to such a question. After being stunned for a long time, she finally said: "Aren't you still alive and well?"
Feng Yu Heng laughed, "Who was it that just said that I wasn't her daughter? Since I'm not, then think about it. Where did your real daughter go? "After she finished speaking, she stood up with a tired expression. This sort of exhaustion came from her heart. It was even more intense than when she had fought dozens of battles with the enemy.
Zirui stepped forward to support her. Feng Yu Heng patted Zirui's head and smiled bitterly. Grabbing the child's small hand, she began to walk towards her own courtyard. Seeing that she was about to leave, Yao shi became anxious. Standing up, she shouted: "Just let the Feng family off! Heng will not be so hateful. Just treat it as if it's for her sake. "
Feng Yu Heng stopped and began to choke up. Ever since she came to this world, she worked hard to protect this mother and little brother. She worked hard to make their lives better. But in the end, she was still unable to enter this mother's heart. To say that she was not sullen would be a lie. To say that she was not disappointed would be even more impossible.
She waved her hand behind her and helplessly said: "Fine, I promise you."
Yao shi, however, said: "Zirui will live with me in the future!"
Feng Yu Heng was startled. The hand holding Zirui subconsciously trembled. This mother, she was not even willing to leave a little brother for her?
Zirui could feel the change in Feng Yu Heng's mood and heard Yao shi's words clearly. He raised his other hand and gently patted the back of Feng Yu Heng's hand as though he was comforting her. He then turned around and said to Yao shi: "Zirui has his own courtyard. He will not live with anyone. Mother, do not say anything that will hurt elder sister. Regardless of whether or not she is my elder sister, I will recognize her. Zirui will only recognize people that treat me well. "After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to grab Feng Yu Heng's hand and quickly walked into the courtyard. When they finally returned to Feng Yu Heng's small courtyard, the two let out a sigh of relief.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan quickly gathered around. The two servants looked at her for a while. Huang Quan then said: "Young miss' complexion is very poor. Did madam say something unpleasant?"
Feng Yu Heng did not reply but unexpectedly ordered them: "Send someone to see Xu Jing Yuan. Have him … release Feng Jin Yuan."
"What?" Huang Quan was extremely shocked, "Young miss, have you gone crazy?"
Wang Chuan was also unable to understand. Staring wide-eyed at Feng Yu Heng, she then asked: "Did madam say something to young miss?"
Feng Zirui seemed to be able to understand Feng Yu Heng's feelings, as he took the initiative to say: "Indeed, it was mother that asked for mercy on father's behalf."
"Madam has also gone crazy." Huang Quan absent-mindedly blurted out these words, "You've all gone crazy! It would be best if that person remained locked up in prison. That way, our days would be peaceful. Young miss, do you believe that as long as Feng Jin Yuan is released, not only will he not be grateful to you, he will even repay your kindness with evil. He will hate you. "
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, "I know. Then let him hate me. Either way, he has never treated me well. Are you still worried that your young miss will be eaten up by him?"
Huang Quan still wanted to say something; however, she was stopped by Wang Chuan. In the end, she was calmer and more rational than Huang Quan, as she immediately said: "Young miss is right. Regardless of what Lord Feng does, in the end, the one to suffer is still himself. We will deal with whatever comes our way. We are not afraid." She then said to Feng Yu Heng: "Young miss, don't worry. This servant will personally go to the governor's side."
Feng Yu Heng did not say anything else, as she pulled Zirui back into the room. Zirui saw that his sister did not call for someone to send him back to his own courtyard, thus he knew that his sister either had something to say to him or hoped that someone could accompany her.
Feng Yu Heng was thinking of the second point. She just felt that her heart was a little empty, and she really hoped that someone could accompany her for a while. In truth, it would be best if Xuan Tianming or Yao Xian could be present at this sort of time. Unfortunately, Xuan Tianming had gone to the military camp, and Yao Xian had been running around Hundred Herb Hall for the past few days. He was rarely home during the day.
She held Zirui in her embrace for a while. When she let go, she asked: "Zirui, do you feel that elder sister treating father like this is going too far?"
Zirui immediately shook his head, "Although I am not in the capital, the people elder sister sent to protect me will tell me about these things. Zirui does not believe that elder sister has done anything to father. Instead, he feels that father has brought this upon himself. Each and every matter was caused by his own actions. If he has the ability to do it, then he should be prepared to accept it. Zirui instead feels that elder sister should not have listened to mother and let him out. If he does something wrong, then he should be punished. He should be in prison. "
Feng Yu Heng's nose became a little sour. Fortunately, she had this little guy at her side. Fortunately, he was of the same mind as her.
Zirui spent the entire afternoon at Feng Yu Heng's side. After dinner, Yao Xian and Wang Chuan returned together. Wang Chuan reported to Feng Yu Heng: "Lord Feng has already returned to the manor. On the way back, this servant passed by Hundred Herb Hall and happened to see imperial physician Feng Yu Heng working, thus I went to help."
Feng Yu Heng knew that Wang Chuan was telling Yao Xian about what had happened in the manor in the afternoon. Sure enough, when she looked at Yao Xian, she saw a trace of anger in his eyes.
She helplessly sighed and had Wang Chuan send Zirui back to his courtyard. She also sent Huang Quan away until only she and Yao Xian were left in the room. Only then did she put down all of her mental burdens and lean on Yao Xian's shoulder. Just like when she was young, she hugged her grandfather's arm and silently complained about her grievances.
Yao Xian hated seeing his granddaughter like this the most. The anger in his heart surged. Feng Yu Heng knew about her grandfather's temper and needed to comfort Yao Xian. But as she comforted him, her grievances surged forth once more. There was also a bit of worry. She asked Yao Xian: "Grandfather, do you think the two of us are considered monsters? Although we can't see anything from this body, our souls are different, and our minds are different. Others might not know, but Yao shi is the one who gave birth to her and raised her. How could she not notice anything? "
Yao Xian coldly snorted and said: "So what if she noticed? Her daughter was not killed by you, and this body was not taken by you. Instead, you gave this body hope to be reborn, and you gave her a daughter that was no different from before. If she really wants revenge, have her go find Feng Jin Yuan. Why did she come to you to show off? "
Yao Xian was truly filled with anger. If Yao Xian was a man, this old man with a temper that was no different from Tianwu's would have slapped Yao shi to death long ago. But Yao shi was a girl, and she was his daughter in this life. She also had the face of his daughter-in-law from his previous life. He wanted to get revenge for his granddaughter, but he could not bring himself to do it.
Yao Xian was out of options and discussed with Feng Yu Heng: "How about this. Send her to Huang Zhou and have your uncles from the Yao family look after her. You two will be separated, and she will not see you for many years. After a few years, perhaps things will be better than now. "
Feng Yu Heng did not have much of an idea on this matter. Yao shi had caused her mind to be in a mess today. In regards to Yao Xian's suggestion, she did not refuse, only saying: "We'll ask later. Let's listen to her own opinion."
As the two spoke, the sound of frantic footsteps came from outside. Not long later, the door was pushed open by Huang Quan, who was standing guard outside. Huang Quan angrily said: "Young miss! That shameless grand scholar Feng Jin Yuan has come knocking on our door! "
