Feng Yu Heng did not even have time to eat breakfast. She just brought Huang Quan out of the Imperial Palace Yu and sat in the imperial carriage to return to her own manor.
Huang Quan told her: "After our manor came to report, Wang Chuan went back first. Hah, this servant also does not understand. Why did madam suddenly return to the manor? Didn't the old man say that he would not allow her to leave that small residence? "
Feng Yu Heng was also helpless. She also did not know why Yao shi had suddenly left the manor today and even went to the imperial daughter's manor. She also happened to see Fu Ya in the imperial daughter's manor.
When she woke up this morning, Huang Quan told her this piece of news that was not too good. Feng Yu Heng felt her head swell! In regards to Fu Ya, she had originally planned to bring her to see Yao shi, but as for when she would meet her and what kind of method and identity she would use to meet her, she was still thinking about it. Ever since Yao shi had been poisoned, she had become rather sensitive, especially when it came to matters related to her. She had a strong sense of rejection. It was such that after she returned to the capital, she did not dare go and see her, fearing that Yao shi's nerves would be stimulated again.
However, who knew that Fu Ya would be discovered by Yao shi first. She really did not know what sort of situation the imperial daughter's manor was in.
The imperial carriage was urged a few times before finally arriving in front of the imperial daughter's manor. When Feng Yu Heng got out of the carriage, she thought that a guard would immediately come to report about Yao shi, but after standing outside the carriage for a while, the Imperial Guard only respectfully and warmly saluted her and did not say anything else. This caused Feng Yu Heng to feel very confused.
When they entered the courtyard, Qing Yu was the first to come forward. She smiled and said to Feng Yu Heng: "Young Miss, this servant just came from Craftsman Bai's side and brought two pieces of jewelry that had been repaired." While saying this, she pulled Feng Yu Heng into the inner courtyard. At the same time, she quietly said: "Madam has returned, but she has mistaken Miss Fu Ya for you. She pulled her into her original courtyard and chatted warmly with her. From what we servants saw, she seemed to have completely recognized that person as her daughter and even forced her to call her mother. "
Feng Yu Heng could not describe the feeling in her heart. It was a little uncomfortable. After all, Yao shi had the same face as her mother from her previous life. But at the same time, she let out a sigh of relief. If Yao shi could treat Fu Ya as a mental support, that would not be a bad thing. She just did not know how Yao shi would treat her when she stood in front of the two. After all, she could not continue to feign ignorance. She felt that there were some things that were best explained clearly.
The three of them walked step by step to Yao shi's courtyard. Upon entering, they saw Wang Chuan standing in the middle of the courtyard. He was calmly looking at the two people sitting in the small pavilion in the middle of the courtyard. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng had arrived, she hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, you're finally back."
Huang Quan could see that Wang Chuan's expression was a little off. His face had just been calm, but he now appeared to be a little aggrieved, thus she asked: "What's wrong?"
Wang Chuan gently sighed and said: "There's nothing wrong with me. I just feel that it's not worth it for young miss." While she spoke, she pointed at the pavilion and said: "Madam is now completely treating Miss Fu Ya as her own daughter. If it wasn't for this servant stopping them, they would have gone to young miss' room to sit and talk."
Feng Yu Heng slightly furrowed her brow and looked into the pavilion. She saw Yao shi holding Fu Ya's hand, and the corners of her lips naturally curled up. Her brows were relaxed, and she had a kind expression. It was not that she had never seen Yao shi like this before, but it was in the memories of the body's original owner. Ever since she had come to this world, Yao shi had always been close to her; however, she always felt that there was a lack of closeness. It was not like the unreserved love that she had for Zirui.
She had originally thought that Yao shi was like that. She had thought that she was closer to Zirui because Zirui was still young. He was at the age where people liked him and wanted to be hugged. But it was only later that she understood that in Yao shi's heart, she was no longer a daughter. She had changed long ago, becoming completely different from before. It was such that her mother could no longer keep up the pretense and chose to break off relations with her.
But her maternal love was still there, and she had nowhere to vent it. Her longing for her daughter was still there, and she had nowhere to vent it.
Today, Fu Ya's appearance had reignited Yao shi's maternal instincts. It was such that her maternal instincts surged, and spilled water could not be taken back.
She stopped the three maidservants, telling them that there was no need for them to follow her. She then slowly walked towards the pavilion on her own. When she got a little closer, she heard Yao shi say to Fu Ya: "Mother remembers that you originally did not like eating mushrooms, but when we were in the mountains, there was nothing else to eat. At that time, I did not know how to do anything. The good families in the village, in order to have us support the family, sent some clothes for me to wash. After washing them, we could exchange them for food, but I ruined their clothes. Later on, someone sent some needlework, and I pricked my hands until they were covered in blood, yet I could not sew a single piece. Slowly, no one was willing to help us anymore. You were also forced into this situation with no other choice. It's a good thing that you learned quite a bit from your maternal grandfather. You said that you recognized mushrooms and wild vegetables, so you went up the mountain on your own. Every day, you would wake up early and go out, only coming back when it was dark. When you came back, you would always bring back a large pile of mushrooms. At the very least, it would be enough for the three of us to eat for half a month. "
Fu Ya also looked at Yao shi with a smile. Every time Yao shi finished speaking, she would nod and vaguely say: "The days at that time were too bitter."
Yao shi continued: "Speaking of life in the mountains, at that time, we did not even know how to make a fire. It was the neighbor who taught us how to make a fire. Even the pots were given to us by them. It's a good thing that before we left the manor, your concubine mother An stuffed some silver into Zirui's collar. In any case, we were able to get some bedding and fix up that shoddy straw hut so that it would not leak. Later on, you used half of the mushrooms to exchange for a few bowls and spoons. We were able to live a normal life. "
The more Yao shi spoke, the more emotional she felt. Her face was filled with memories. Normally speaking, life in the mountains should have been the most bitter and bitter of all, but now that she spoke of it, it was filled with joy.
Feng Yu Heng heard her say: "Later on, the people in the village saw that the mushrooms we cooked were delicious, so they also went into the mountains to pick them, but how could they understand so much. After eating the mushrooms that they picked, they became poisoned. It was you, Heng, who used the herbs that you picked in the mountains to treat their illness. You then taught them what kind of mushrooms could be eaten. But once bitten, twice shy. Even if they knew what kind of mushrooms could be eaten and knew how to distinguish them, no one was willing to eat them. That's why during those years, the three of us ate enough of the mushrooms in the mountains. " As she spoke, she brought up an old topic: "But you didn't like eating mushrooms. It was me and Zirui who ate the most. You would always cook some wild vegetables to eat. Over those years, you became frighteningly thin. "
There were times when Fu Ya did not know how to respond, so she could only smile and gently say: "That's right!"
Yao shi did not blame her. Instead, she looked at Fu Ya again and again, her eyes filled with gratification, "That's my daughter. Mother knew that my daughter was just going out to play. There would be a day when she would come back. It's a pity that Zirui is not here, otherwise, he would definitely be happy to see you. He has been back in the capital for so long, yet he has not seen elder sister. "
While Yao shi spoke, Fu Ya had already seen Feng Yu Heng standing outside the pavilion. Confusion gradually appeared on her face, as she cast a puzzled look at Feng Yu Heng.
Yao shi stared at Fu Ya very closely, and this small movement was immediately caught by her. She was then startled, as she suddenly turned her head around. Following Fu Ya's gaze, she saw Feng Yu Heng.
With this exchange of gazes, Feng Yu Heng clearly saw fear in Yao shi's eyes. She felt uncomfortable. Her mother was actually afraid of her. What sort of world was this?
Fortunately, Yao shi's fear very quickly disappeared; however, what replaced it was a deliberately concealed calmness and a deep sense of unfamiliarity.
Yao shi stood up and pulled Fu Ya toward Feng Yu Heng. While walking, she smiled and said: "Heng Heng, you still haven't seen imperial daughter, right? Come, salute. This is Princess Ji 'an, the future official princess of the Ninth Prince. "
Fu Ya did not know what to do; however, she heard Feng Yu Heng say: "Madam wants you to salute, so just do it."
Fu Ya was helpless. She could only salute to Feng Yu Heng and say: "This humble girl greets imperial daughter." When she stood up again, the confusion in her eyes became even stronger. She really wanted to have Feng Yu Heng explain what exactly was going on. The current Yao shi seemed to be a bit like Wu Li Sheng to Fu Ya. She was clear about everything, but she was always a bit dazed when it came to the people closest to her.
Feng Yu Heng looked at Yao shi and calmly asked: "Why does madam have time to come today? Ever since returning to the capital from the North, I have not had the time to visit madam. I hope madam will forgive me. "
Yao shi did not think that Feng Yu Heng would speak to her like this, but this attitude caused her to be very satisfied, thus she smiled and said: "It's fine. You are a noble and busy person. Being able to remember me is already quite good."
Feng Yu Heng nodded and asked: "Is madam living well over there?"
Yao shi said: "Good, everything is good." As she said this, she pulled Fu Ya's hand and said: "Although the residence that Heng's maternal grandfather bought for me is not large, it is quite exquisite. There are quite a few servants inside, and they usually accompany me to talk and relieve my boredom. It's just that … "She paused for a moment then said:" It's just that I really miss Heng and Zirui, so I wanted to come over here to take a look. Who knew that Heng really would come back. "She looked at Fu Ya with a face full of joy.
Feng Yu Heng did not know what to feel. Yao shi had excluded her like this. It was fortunate that she was not the original owner's true soul; otherwise, who knew how uncomfortable she would feel.
"That …" Yao shi carefully asked her: "Do you know when Zirui will be able to come back?"
Feng Yu Heng told her: "It should be soon. He will be back in one or two days. When he comes back, I will have him go to the other courtyard to pay respects to madam."
Yao shi happily asked: "Then can Zirui live with me? There is still room in the residence. It's enough for two more people to live in. "
Feng Yu Heng clearly shook her head in regards to this matter, saying to her: "That is definitely not possible. Zirui still needs to go to school. After coming back to see his family and the emperor, he will need to return to Xiao Zhou. Madam should know that boys should prioritize their studies. I hope that madam can understand. "
Yao shi was afraid of Feng Yu Heng. Hearing her speak so seriously, she quickly expressed her opinion: "Understand, of course, I understand. Zirui properly studying is the most important matter. Let him go. I am fine, but …" She thought for a bit. After a while, she firmly said: "But there is one thing that you must promise me!"
