Yao shi and Feng Jin Yuan had disappeared. This news caused Feng Yu Heng to be stunned, but she very quickly understood. She returned to her own room with a gloomy expression. Qing Yu, Wang Chuan, Huang Quan and Ban Zou were all present. They all looked at her and waited for her orders. But even after staring at their master for a long time, they did not see Feng Yu Heng have any strange reaction. Huang Quan could not hold back and asked: "Young miss, what should be done?"
Only then did Feng Yu Heng recover; however, she asked: "What can be done?"
Huang Quan was puzzled, while Ban Zou and Wang Chuan frowned. It was Qing Yu that spoke up: "This servant received news two days ago saying that lady Yao was no longer in that courtyard. But apparently, she disappeared three days ago. Because we had removed the hidden guards from that courtyard, the news was not as fast as before. Speaking of, the disappearance was first reported from the Yao family's other courtyard. Then, the hidden guard that we left in the Feng manor to watch over the young master said that Feng Jin Yuan had not returned for an entire night. Until young miss returned, those two were still missing. "
"Missing is missing. Why are the two of them together?" Huang Quan was very puzzled, "Those two are not together! Aren't they enemies? Or perhaps … their disappearance was just a coincidence, but they were not together? "
Wang Chuan, however, snorted coldly, "How could there be so many coincidences. As I see it, they are together." After saying this, he asked Feng Yu Heng: "Young miss, what should be done about this? Should we do something? If the two of them are working together to cause trouble, that would be a small matter, but if one side was kidnapped by the other … "
"Are you worried that Feng Jin Yuan kidnapped lady Yao?" Huang Quan waved his fist, "Not to mention that Feng Jin Yuan does not have the courage or the strength. Even if he did, it would be lady Yao's fault. Our Young Miss has already severed all ties with her. Whoever wants to rob her can rob her. Young Miss, I don't care. This servant will go and prepare water for you to bathe. You should have a good sleep. You can do whatever you want outside. It doesn't matter to me. "
Wang Chuan stomped his feet and stopped Huang Quan. He then advised Feng Yu Heng, "Miss, don't listen to Huang Quan. You should think about this carefully. As this servant sees it, could it be related to Noble Lady Yuan? "
Wang Chuan's words were thrown out, and Feng Yu Heng finally began to laugh. She then praised: "There's finally someone who's been enlightened. If the situation was true and the two had indeed disappeared at the same time, it was very possible that they had been secretly sent to the South by Noble Lady Yuan's subordinates to meet up with Fu Ya. Or maybe we don't even need to wait until the south. We can meet halfway. "
"Should we give chase?" Ban Zou asked her, but after thinking a bit, he shook his head: "It's too late to give chase. It's been so many days. Who knows where they've run off to. Although there is only one official road from the capital to the South, there are many smaller roads. We don't have much of a chance of success. "
"We won't give chase. What is there to chase." Feng Yu Heng shrugged and received a cup of tea from a servant. Taking a sip, she then said: "Noble Lady Yuan is trying to create a false impression that Princess Ji 'an has arrived in the South. Naturally, she needs to put on a good show. How could just having Fu Ya be enough. How could it be convincing. Princess Ji 'an has yet to get married. She can't hold up the fort on her own. If we bring our own parents over, and Feng Jin Yuan and Yao shi put on a show of dismissing the past, that would truly be a great show. Only like that would Fu Ya's identity be more solid. "
"Since it's like this, why have we not given chase?" Huang Quan was extremely puzzled, "Young Miss, you've already analyzed what sort of effect they will have in the South. Why have we not sent people to give chase? If one person can't give chase, then send two people. We have enough people. Send a few more people. Even if they get to the South, we can think of a way to kidnap them and bring them back. We can't just allow them to continue developing like this! "
Huang Quan's words were also what everyone else was thinking. In regards to Feng Yu Heng saying that they would not give chase, even Qing Yu and Wang Chuan could not understand.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "Don't rush. I already said it before. Fu Ya's days in the South will not be so peaceful." After saying this, she asked Ban Zou, "Has the order been given to Hundred Herb Hall?"
Ban Zou nodded, "It's all been given. Our communication relay station has already been activated. Hundred Herb Hall is very quick to send news."
Feng Yu Heng let out an "un" sound then said: "Aside from this, the reason I said that we would not give chase is because someone will give chase for us."
"Who?" Everyone asked at the same time.
Feng Yu Heng replied: "It's Feng Fen Dai! Think about it. Feng Jin Yuan, Yao shi, and that Fu Ya. This outrageous family of three has gone to the South. Who will they be helping? It's clearly the Eighth Prince! But what about Feng Fen Dai? She is the fifth prince's future official princess. All of her plans have been used on the fifth prince, including working with Noble Lady Li. All of this is for the sake of paving the way for the fifth prince's future. But Feng Jin Yuan, as her father, has gone to the South to help the Eighth Prince at this critical juncture. He has even become one with Yao shi. Say, based on Feng Fen Dai's personality, will she not go crazy? "
"Then she will definitely go crazy." Huang Quan finally understood, "Young Miss means to say that Feng Fen Dai will definitely have the fifth prince send people to give chase? But how would she know where Feng Jin Yuan went? "
"Stupid." Ban Zou rolled his eyes at her, "Let's just find a chance to reveal it to her."
"That's true." Huang Quan accepted the criticism, "Then Young Miss will not need to worry about this matter. Just leave it to us to spread the news. I guarantee that Feng Fen Dai will send people to give chase in the South tomorrow. Regardless of whether or not they can catch him, once the eldest young miss starts causing a ruckus, there will be no peace in the South. "
"Good!" Feng Yu Heng sighed, "It's been so many years. Let's give her a chance to find her father."
Feng Yu Heng's guess was correct. In the Feng manor, upon hearing that Feng Jin Yuan had not returned for many days and was suspected to have gone missing, Feng Fen Dai nearly exploded with anger. She loudly shouted: "Why can't he leave people at ease! What has he gone to do? " After shouting, she grabbed housekeeper He Zhong, who had come to report to her, and asked in a shrill voice: "Where exactly did Feng Jin Yuan go? Exactly where did he go? "
He Zhong had a bitter expression: "Fourth sister is young. If this servant knew where master went, I would have found him long ago. There would be no need to wait for young miss to return before reporting."
"Teahouse! Brothel! Brothel alley! Have you looked for any of these places? "Feng Fen Dai understood her father and immediately threw out a few names.
But He Zhong shook his head and said: "It's impossible for him to go to that sort of place. Master is penniless. How could he go?"
"It's precisely because he is penniless that I need you to go look for him!" Feng Fen Dai said: "It's most likely because he was penniless and was beaten to death inside. He also did not dare report it to the government, thus he was quickly buried! That damn old thing, the Feng family's face has been completely lost by him! "
Fen Dai was throwing a tantrum in the front yard. Xiang Rong had returned with her, so she naturally heard everything clearly. Feng Jin Yuan's disappearance left her without a single clue, but she would not shout wildly like Feng Fen Dai. Instead, she reminded He Zhong: "It would be best to do as fourth young miss said and look for him. Not to mention whether or not it is as fourth young miss said, it's not like father has never secretly taken money from the manor. If he wanted to spend money, he could have taken things from any courtyard and sold them. Who knows, he might have some money."
With Xiang Rong's reminder, He Zhong felt that it was reasonable, thus he quickly led some people out to search.
Fen Dai stood in the yard, and her anger had yet to subside. Her mind continued to turn, as she did her best to think of where Feng Jin Yuan could have run to. Xiang Rong, however, felt that it was pointless and did not say anything else. Bringing her maidservant with her, she returned to her own courtyard. As for the hides she had brought back, she had already sent them to the embroidery shop after entering the capital. Right now, the Feng manor was nothing more than a place for her to rest. She could leave of her own accord at any time, and she could be chased out at any time. This home was not like a home. There was no sense of security, nor was there any affection. She had even begun to secretly save money. In the future, she would think of a way to buy her own courtyard and bring An shi over to live properly.
"Young miss, where do you think master went?" Shan Cha quietly asked her, "He wouldn't really have gone to a brothel, right?"
Xiang Rong snorted coldly, "Who cares. He can go wherever he wants. It's unrelated to us."
As they spoke, the small courtyard appeared before them. An shi was standing at the entrance of the courtyard. Upon seeing her return, she quickly went over and considerately asked: "You must be tired, right? You were gone for so many days, but you did not bring any extra clothes. Was it cold at the hunting ground? Was it lively during the Winter Hunt? "
Xiang Rong's heart warmed. Holding An shi's hand, she finally found some feeling of home. "Mother, I'm very good."
An shi looked around then quietly said: "Just call me concubine mother."
Xiang Rong resolutely shook her head, "No good. Mother is mother. Where did concubine mother come from. Mother, don't worry. Now that the Feng family's days have become like this, could it be that they still want to set some rules here? Who would listen to who? We just came back to this shoddy place to sleep. Sooner or later, we will need to move out. "
An shi heard this and did not continue to insist. For her daughter to be able to call her mother, she was happy. With this happiness, she began to rejoice that the Feng family had fallen. If the Feng family had not fallen, perhaps she would never have been able to hear the word mother again.
The two held hands and went to An shi's room to sit. Shan Cha followed behind them and happily said: "Madam, don't worry. Young miss is doing well at the hunting ground. With his Highness the fourth prince taking care of her, she did not suffer any losses. She even brought back a lot of beast skins. When we entered the capital, we sent them to the shop. Madam, go take a look tomorrow. A large number of cloaks can be made. They were all specially made for young miss by his Highness the fourth prince. "
Hearing the maidservant follow Xiang Rong and change the way she addressed her, no longer calling her concubine mother. Instead, she called her madam. The words that she had been holding in for a long time could no longer be held back. Tugging at Xiang Rong, she said: "As I see it, we might as well not live in this Feng manor. These past two years, the shop's business has been quite good. Even if we can't afford such a large manor, we can buy a courtyard big enough for the two of us and a few servants to live in. Right now, you're all calling her mother and madam. If we continue to live here, I fear that something will happen. Fourth young miss' temper is also quite troublesome. It's better for us to avoid trouble. Endure for a few more days. We can't just randomly address her. When we move out, we can live our own lives. Nobody will be able to do anything about it. "
Xiang Rong nodded and immediately agreed with this decision. Just as she was about to tell An shi about Feng Jin Yuan's disappearance and think about when to go take a look at the courtyard, a servant trotted in from the outside. Arriving before the two, he quietly said: "Concubine mother, young miss, fourth young miss suspects that master went to the neighboring Lian manor. She has already gone to the Lian manor's entrance and is cursing."
