Feng Yu Heng looked at Fu Ya and had already guessed a bit of Yao shi's request. Sure enough, she saw Yao shi lean toward Fu Ya's side and hold Fu Ya's hand tightly, saying to her: "Have my daughter live in that other courtyard and accompany me."
Although these words were discussed with Feng Yu Heng, the firmness in her words was not to be questioned. In truth, Feng Yu Heng really wanted to ask, could it be that in your heart, I really am not considered a daughter? That protection from the Northwest all the way to the capital. That imperial decree was requested for you to divorce Feng Jin Yuan. That protection from beginning to end and doing everything possible to ensure that you lived a better life, what was the purpose of all of this?
But in the end, she was unable to ask this question. She thought, perhaps this was the best ending for Yao shi, right? To Yao shi, Fu Ya was a source of mental support. Yao shi hoped that Fu Ya would be able to give her the mother-daughter affection that she could not obtain from her.
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, "Since you recognize her as your daughter, whether or not she accompanies you is not up to me. Instead, it is up to her. Madam should be asking her."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked back the way she had come. While walking, she said: "You two have discussed it well. Just send someone over to inform me. I will take care of everything. I definitely will not allow you two to suffer the slightest grievance in that other courtyard." She did not stop walking, as she left the courtyard and returned to her own courtyard.
Yao shi looked at Feng Yu Heng's back and clearly let out a sigh of relief. Only after Feng Yu Heng left the courtyard did she turn around and ask Fu Ya: "Feng Yu Heng, how about coming back with mother to live? Mother really misses you. "
Fu Ya furrowed her brow and looked at her for a while; however, she also felt a bit of pity for Wu Li Sheng. She nodded and said to Yao shi: "That's fine."
Feng Yu Heng returned to her own courtyard, Qing Yu went to busy herself with the shop, while Wang Chuan and Huang Quan followed behind her with resentment. Huang Quan, in particular, couldn't keep his thoughts to himself. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he began to say, "If it were up to me, we shouldn't have brought that Miss Fu Ya back to the capital, or let her live in our residence. Isn't this just making things difficult for others?"
Wang Chuan shook his head and said, "You, you always speak and act without thinking. If you could think a little more, you should be glad that we brought Fu Ya back instead of leaving her in the North."
"Hmm?" Huang Quan was puzzled. "Why do you say that?"
Wang Chuan looked at Feng Yu Heng and saw her nod. Only then did he continue to say: "That Miss Fu Ya looks so much like young miss that even the madam mistook her for someone else. Say, if this sort of person ends up among the common people and is used by someone with ulterior motives, how much trouble would that cause for us?"
Huang Quan was startled. After thinking a bit, he could not help but inhale sharply, "That's right! Why didn't I think of that? If Fu Ya was caught by bad people and they insisted that she was Princess Ji An, that would have a great effect on the outside world. But … "She then shook her head and said:" Xiao Jing is in the capital, after all. The real person is here. Wouldn't the rumors collapse on their own? "
Wang Chuan reached out to pat her head, "This head of yours is just thinking about the east and not the west. If this matter happened in the North, it would take several months for it to reach the capital, not to mention us trying to dispel the rumors. These two months are enough for a lot of things to happen. "
When Huang Quan heard this, he could not help but feel a burst of lingering fear. He said: "I was too shallow in my thinking. It's fortunate that I brought Fu Ya back."
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, "When the false turns into the truth, the truth turns into a lie. Where there is nothing, there is nothing. It's good to be able to dispel the rumors. I'm just afraid that one day, the truth will turn into a lie and I'll regret it. " She sighed softly, then entered the room and sat down on a chair in the front hall. She then said: "Go and bring Miss Fu Ya in. She should have entered the courtyard."
After saying this, the two servants turned around. Sure enough, they saw that Fu Ya had just passed through the winding corridor and through the moon gate of the courtyard.
Wang Chuan hurried forward to welcome her and brought Fu Ya to the front hall. Huang Quan had someone bring in tea. Only then did he hear Feng Yu Heng ask Fu Ya: "Are you very surprised?"
Fu Ya smiled bitterly, "With Li Sheng's matter before, this time, it wasn't too surprising. I just didn't expect that there would be someone who would mistake her own daughter. Moreover, when the imperial daughter stood in front of her, she actually couldn't tell the difference. " As Fu Ya spoke, she touched her own face, "Could it be that the two of us really look alike?"
Actually, Feng Yu Heng had also asked herself this question. When she first saw Fu Ya, she also felt that she looked very similar to her, but she didn't think that they looked alike to the extent that they could be mistaken for the real one.
But people were like this. Just like twins, when they looked at each other, it was always easy to find the differences. But if others were to look at them, they would most likely think that they looked exactly the same.
Feng Yu Heng did not reply to Fu Ya's question. She only told her: "My mother once suffered from a very serious illness. After that time, her mind would occasionally become absent-minded. Fu Ya, I only want to ask you, are you willing to go to the courtyard in my name to accompany her? "
Fu Ya did not immediately reply. She only looked at Feng Yu Heng. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Feng Yu Heng continued: "I know that your parents are no longer alive, and I am unable to provide you with any additional care. It seems that this request of mine is an unreasonable request. Just treat it as a way for me to be filial to my mother. If you agree, the other conditions will be up to you."
Fu Ya smiled helplessly, "It's just like you said. My parents are no longer alive, so what other conditions can I have? I see that Madam Yao is also very amiable. Just treat it as accompanying my own mother! If the imperial daughter is at ease, then please send Madam and I back to the courtyard. I can't do anything else, but I can still accompany Madam and chat. I … "She paused. She seemed to have thought of something, but it was difficult for her to say it. She hesitated.
Feng Yu Heng could see her hesitation, but she did not press her. She only sat there quietly and waited for Fu Ya to speak. After waiting for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Fu Ya finally asked in a stuttering voice, "I see that you have hidden guards by your side. Shouldn't there be someone protecting the courtyard as well?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Naturally."
Wang Chuan also said, "The courtyard was prepared by the old man. Other than the servants in the residence, the imperial daughter's manor has also sent some guards over to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Fu Ya began to hesitate when she heard this.
Feng Yu Heng saw through this and took the initiative to ask, "I'm afraid that the protection you want isn't ordinary guards, right?"
Fu Ya was startled and began to twist her hands together. After a while, she finally said: "Yes." She said to Feng Yu Heng: "The person that saved me outside of Guan Zhou City, I want his protection."
"You can't!" Someone suddenly shouted. The one who spoke was Huang Quan. She already knew that the person who saved Fu Ya that day was Ban Zou. When she heard that Fu Ya wanted him, her anger immediately flared up, "That is the hidden guard that his highness gifted to the young miss. Other than the young miss, he doesn't care about anyone else's life."
Fu Ya was originally a weak woman. How could she endure Huang Quan's arrogant shouting? She did not have much hope for Ban Zou, so when she heard Huang Quan say this, she was not too surprised. She quickly said, "If you can't do it, then forget it. It's fine. I, I was just saying." She then looked at Feng Yu Heng, "I will still accompany the madam. After all, my mother said that you are our family's benefactor. No matter when, this grace must be repaid." She stood up and bowed towards Feng Yu Heng. She did not say anything else and quietly left.
Seeing her leave, Huang Quan quickly ran in front of Feng Yu Heng and repeatedly said, "Young miss, you absolutely can't send the hidden guard over there. We can't do without Ban Zou here. What if something happens when you go in and out? Although the manor doesn't lack other hidden guards, it's not as good as using someone you're used to. Don't you think so? "
Feng Yu Heng and Wang Chuan both looked at Huang Quan in amusement. The two of them knew what she was thinking. They could not hide the smiles on their lips, making Huang Quan's cheeks burn. "What are you laughing at me for? I'm thinking for the young miss. What I said is the truth. "
"I know." Wang Chuan stopped smiling, "I know you're thinking for the young miss. We're all thinking for the young miss." Then he said to Feng Yu Heng: "Huang Quan is right. Others can't compare to Ban Zou."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "I understand this. Whether or not I go is not up to me. I still have to ask for Ban Zou's opinion."
As soon as these words left her mouth, she heard an extremely unhappy and sullen voice in the air, "I'm not going!"
Feng Yu Heng facepalmed, "Come out and talk. Don't keep acting like there's a ghost."
Just as she said this, she saw a figure flash in front of her. Ban Zou appeared out of nowhere. "I said I'm not going, so I'm not going. If you insist on sending me over, I'll run back even if my head is chopped off."
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "Who would chop off your head?"
"Your Highness!" Ban Zou spoke seriously, "His Highness said that he sent me to your side, so you are my master. In the future, even if you want me to assassinate him, I will do it. Otherwise, he will chop off my head."
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan both nodded, "His Highness indeed said this. We are the same."
Feng Yu Heng naturally understood Xuan Tianming's feelings for her. It was just that she truly hoped that Fu Ya could wholeheartedly accompany Yao shi. If this matter caused a barrier to form in the other party's heart, that would not be good.
Seeing her hesitate and tangled, Wang Chuan said: "How about we think a bit more and see if we can compensate Fu Ya in other ways?"
Ban Zou's figure flickered and disappeared. Before leaving, he left behind some words: "You can do whatever you want. Either way, I'm not going."
Huang Quan happily smiled and said to Feng Yu Heng: "Young miss, you should give up this time. It's Ban Zou himself that doesn't want to go." However, she was also tangled, "What kind of compensation can Fu Ya ask for?"
"Forget it." Feng Yu Heng waved her hand. This matter could be discussed later. At least, Fu Ya had agreed. In the end, they would take things one day at a time. Who knew if the madam would not recognize her after a while.
Right now, she was not even willing to call her mother. Huang Quan and Wang Chuan both sighed when they heard this, but there was nothing they could do.
Over the past few days, the imperial palace had been busy with Winter Moon Palace. A group of craftsmen were rushing to repair it, the Imperial Clan Court was busy with interrogations, and the empress was busy reorganizing the inner palace.
But on this night, Fang Yi brought news that was not too surprising to the empress — — "Concubine Jing has died."
