Feng Zirui's sudden change caused He Zhong to become absent-minded for a moment, but his gaze very quickly landed on the small hand that was wrapped in gauze. He Zhong vaguely felt that the young master's personality was definitely related to this injury. He also realized that this injury was most likely caused by the master.
He had served the Feng family for half of his life, and he had watched Feng Jin Yuan climb step by step from the top scholar to the current prime minister. He then fell from standard first rank all the way down. Like this, he could only feed the horses. But He Zhong understood that this served him right. For a large family to be so indifferent to such a degree, it was also quite sad.
Feng Zirui's footsteps were hurried; however, he headed towards Yao shi's room. Yao Xian had previously said that Yao shi had not yet moved out of the Feng family. He had bought the residence, but the courtyard was a little shabby and was in the process of being renovated. In addition to this, he still needed to buy some furniture, and Yao shi's injury was severe. The matter of moving could only be delayed for the time being. Cheng Jun Man sent her own servant to take care of Yao shi. Even if Feng Jin Yuan hated Yao shi and wanted to kill her, he did not dare because she was protected by the Cheng shi sisters.
Yao shi had woken up long before Feng Jin Yuan left the capital, but she was not in good spirits. Aside from eating and drinking, she spent her days in bed in a daze. The Cheng shi sisters would come over every day to say a few words, but Yao shi ignored them. Gradually, she no longer wanted to come. Yao shi would sometimes ask if Feng Jin Yuan had died. Hearing a maidservant say that he was still alive, she would excitedly cause a ruckus for a while. Cheng Jun Man had specially invited a doctor for her. The most important thing was to take care of these sudden situations.
When Feng Zirui arrived, just as he arrived at the door, he heard a maidservant timidly say to Yao shi: "I heard that master has been able to get out of bed since yesterday afternoon."
These words were like firecrackers being lit, as Yao shi immediately exploded. Following this, she loudly shouted: "What?" She then sat up in bed and loudly shouted: "He can actually get out of bed? Impossible! That stab of mine was very severe. Wasn't it said that his family jewels were cut off? How is it possible that he can get off the ground so quickly? "
The servant was on the verge of tears. While supporting Yao shi, she did her best to prevent her from reopening her wound due to her large movements. At the same time, she repeatedly consoled her: "Master definitely has some good medicine. Madam, you must take care of your body!"
Feng Zirui tilted his head and quietly asked the servant at the door: "Feng Jin Yuan can get out of bed?"
That was a servant who had previously worked in the Feng manor. She was very curious as to why the young master would directly call the master by his name. In the past, she had heard the second young miss call him this, but the second young miss and the master did not get along. This was something that everyone knew. Now, even the young master was standing on the opposite side of the master? This girl faintly felt that she really could not stay in the Feng family. She was not afraid of the family's secret fights, but now that they were openly fighting, this was too frightening.
Thinking was just thinking, but hearing Feng Zirui ask, she quickly replied: "Master is not only able to get out of bed. I heard that he can already walk around the yard."
"How could he have recovered so quickly?" This time, even Feng Zirui was puzzled, "What sort of doctor was brought to treat him? An imperial physician? "
Before the servant could reply, Wang Chuan spoke up and coldly snorted, saying: "How could he possibly bring in a good doctor. An imperial physician is even more of a dream. Young master does not know, but Feng Jin Yuan has a new group of hidden guards at his side. Apparently … "Wang Chuan lowered his voice even further. Bending over, he whispered into Zirui's ear:" Apparently, they are from Qian Zhou. "
Feng Zirui's brow was so tightly furrowed that water could practically come out. Now that this child heard the words Qian Zhou, he was unable to control the anger in his heart. Just as he was about to explode, he heard a "clang" sound come from inside the room. He looked inside and found that it was Yao shi who had pushed down the servant that had been taking care of her. The servant had crashed into the table, knocking over the teacup on the table.
It was as though Yao shi had gone crazy. Sitting on the bed, she loudly shouted: "Didn't you come to take care of me? Aren't you my servant? Why do you not listen to my orders? "
The servant was dizzy from the crash, but she still cried and replied to Yao shi, saying: "Madam can have this servant do anything, but if you want this servant to kill master, this servant really does not dare!"
Yao shi glared at her and cursed: "Useless thing! If you don't dare kill someone, how can you continue to live in the Feng family? "
She shouted as though she was venting; however, she spoke of a truth. She was completely correct. If she did not dare kill someone, how could she continue to live in the Feng family?
Feng Zirui was finally unable to continue watching. Quickly running into the room, he quickly went to support Yao shi. The young child did his best to lower his voice, using a very coaxing voice to say to Yao shi: "Mother, don't get angry. Your body is your own. If you fall ill from anger or tear open your wound, the one that will feel distressed is Zirui! Doesn't mother dote on Zirui the most? "
Yao shi was a little dazed. The anger from earlier had caused her to gasp for breath the entire time. She was a little out of breath. Zi Rui's small hand stroked her back, and Yao shi felt that there was something wrong with the hand that was stroking her back.
She stared blankly at Zirui for a while. She then turned around and pulled Zirui's hand over. Only then did she see the bandage wrapped around his hand and the broken finger.
Yao shi was practically scared witless, as she immediately threw Zi Rui's hand away. It was as though she had received something very frightening. After a long while, she finally calmed down and asked as though she had gone crazy: "Where's your pinky? Zirui, where's your little finger? "
In the end, he was still a child. Even if he had returned to the Feng manor with a belly full of anger, even if he had a cold expression in front of others, he was still weak in front of his mother. Zirui choked up and turned his head away. Tears nearly fell.
Yao shi saw that he did not speak and quickly asked Wang Chuan: "What happened? Wasn't it said that Zirui went back to Xiao Zhou to study? Where's his elder sister? "
Wang Chuan seriously explained to Yao shi: "Young master was originally going to Xiao Zhou to study. Young miss sent ten hidden guards to escort him, but along the way, they encountered assassins from Qian Zhou. Not only did they kidnap young master, they also … cut off young master's little finger."
Upon hearing the words "cut off his little finger," Yao shi's mind immediately collapsed. Wang Chuan continued to speak, saying: "The reason those people from Qian Zhou knew of young master's whereabouts was because the Feng family's master, Feng Jin Yuan, sent them a letter." But Yao shi did not hear these words at all. Her mind was filled with the idea of "Zirui was kidnapped on the way to school." Following this, her nearly morbid imagination turned this idea into a single sentence: "Why did Mr. Heng not protect him?"
Wang Chuan furrowed his brow, as a bad feeling filled his heart, but he still explained: "She protected him. Young miss sent ten hidden guards to escort young master to Xiao Zhou. Unfortunately, the enemy was Qian Zhou's divine archery team."
"I asked her why she did not personally escort Zirui to Xiao Zhou?" Yao shi shouted once more. What Qian Zhou's divine archery team, she did not understand at all what that represented. She only knew that her son's finger was cut off. The reason for this injury was that Feng Yu Heng did not personally escort him. "My son is still so young. He is not even ten years old. Who could he possibly have a grudge with? Why would he be kidnapped? "She muttered to herself as though there was no one present. Even though the wound had already begun to bleed, she did not seem to notice. Yao shi continued to analyze, "Zirui is just a child. It's impossible for someone to kidnap him. He left with his elder sister, so the person that they wanted to kidnap should be …" Her eyes lit up. "It should be his elder sister!" Yao shi raised her head and looked at Wang Chuan: "The person that they wanted to kill should be Feng Yu Heng, right? She did not personally escort Zirui, so she was able to avoid this disaster. They placed this debt on Zirui's head, right? "
Wang Chuan admired Yao shi to the point of prostrating himself before her. She had no way of speaking with this woman, so she simply snorted coldly and turned her head away without saying a word.
But Yao shi saw that she did not speak and became spirited once more. She did not know where the mother that had always been loving had gone. Now, she had become sharp and mean. She was no different from the Shen Clan of the past. She glared at Wang Chuan and said: "I was right, so you did not speak! Then why do you still have the face to come see me? I know that this is not her younger brother, so she did not feel distressed. When there was danger, she avoided it herself; however, she pushed Zirui forward. She caused the death of my daughter, and I did not settle this debt with her. Why would she cause the death of my son? What sort of enmity does she have with me? "
Yao shi began to cry loudly.
Feng Zirui practically did not dare believe his own ears. He stood at the side of the bed and looked at his mother in horror. Over and over again, he asked himself, when exactly did his mother become like this? Was this still the mother that had brought them to the mountain village in the Northwest and depended on each other for survival?
He watched Yao shi question Wang Chuan one sentence after another. His nose, which had been sore from his mother's concern, immediately cleared up. The hatred in his heart surged once more.
He turned around and asked the Feng family's servants: "Didn't you send someone to inform Feng Jin Yuan that I had returned? Did they go? Where is he? "
How could the servants on this side know what had happened on Feng Jin Yuan's side, but since the young master had asked, they had no choice but to answer. They could only say that they would go and take a look. Thus the two young servants trotted out of the room. Yao shi continued to cry, causing the anger in Feng Zirui's heart to burn even brighter.
This child was finally unable to endure. With nowhere to vent his anger, he looked all around. The table that the maidservant had fallen onto entered his eyes. He did not know where he found the strength, but he quickly walked over to the table and picked it up. He then fiercely threw it across the room.
With a "bang," the table hit the cabinet, causing one of its legs to become crooked.
Zirui's disturbance caused Yao shi to stop crying. She blankly looked over and saw Zirui raise his hand with the missing finger and say to her: "I don't care what you're thinking, and I don't care if you recognize elder sister or not. I will only tell you that my finger was cut off by the people of Qian Zhou. As for those people from Qian Zhou, they did not want to kill elder sister. Their goal was me! As for my whereabouts, it was that bastard Feng Jin Yuan who revealed it! Mother, did you hear that? It was my father. It was him that told the people from Qian Zhou to kidnap me. It was my father. It was him that wanted my life! "
