Following Ban Zou saying "there's someone outside," the door was pushed open from the outside. Ban Zou's figure immediately flashed, as he rushed straight toward the person in white. The hand that he extended went straight for that person's throat; however, he heard that person calmly say: "Don't be nervous. It's me."
The hand that Ban Zou had extended was practically about to touch the person's skin; however, he suddenly stopped. He then looked at the person that had come and said in a daze: "Your … Your Highness the seventh prince."
The person that had come was Xuan Tianhua. He was dressed in white. Even if it was the middle of the night and he was doing something like sneaking into someone else's residence, he was still dressed in white. It was as though he had never changed.
He gently pushed down the hand that Ban Zou had extended then said: "I heard that Feng Jin Yuan and Yao shi both disappeared, and I was thinking about it. I originally wanted to go to the imperial daughter's manor to take a look; however, I found that she was not there." While saying this, he rushed toward Feng Yu Heng.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng was still holding the papers and standing in place. Her small face was pale white, and her face was filled with unwillingness and grief.
Xuan Tianhua walked over to her and did his best to pry the papers out of her hands. In the blink of an eye, the girl's fingernails dug into her palms, causing blood to seep out. This caused him to feel extremely distressed. "Let go. Be good." Xuan Tianhua gently advised. Placing both hands on her palms, he tried to use his fingertips to pry open the wound. Who could have thought that he would succeed in an instant. The two's palms moved, and Feng Yu Heng's fingernails no longer dug into her own palms. Instead, they dug into Xuan Tianhua's hands. In an instant, his palms were pierced, and blood began to flow out. Xuan Tianhua, however, let out a sigh of relief.
Hurting him was better than hurting herself. He used his other hand to pat Feng Yu Heng's head, "I know that you can't let it go, but with things as they are, even if you can't let it go, it's pointless. Family is like a rope. If two people tug on it, no matter how hard you try, the other person will have already let go. No matter how hard you try, all you get back is an empty rope. The person on the other side has long abandoned you. Hengheng, Seventh Brother's words may be a bit harsh, but this is reality. You have to brace yourself to face it. Otherwise, time after time, even the strongest person will be defeated one day. "
Feng Yu Heng didn't say anything. She heard Xuan Tianhua's words, but she still couldn't come back to her senses. She withdrew her four fingers from his palm. She had always liked to keep her nails long. When she pulled her nails out of his flesh, Xuan Tianhua's eyebrows twitched slightly. Feng Yu Heng noticed it and looked down. She finally realized that she had not only hurt her palm, but also Xuan Tianhua's.
"Seventh Brother." She furrowed her brow and subconsciously reached into her sleeve. She wanted to take out some medicine from her space to help him apply it, but she was stopped by Xuan Tianhua. He gently shook his head at her and said: "It's fine."
Ban Zou left the room to stand guard. He held Feng Yu Heng's hand and walked over to the bed that Yao shi had slept on. Only when he had her sit down on the bed and met Feng Yu Heng's shocked gaze did he say to her: "Reach out and touch the bed that your mother slept on. Regardless of whether or not there's any warmth left, it's still the place where she lived. It still has her scent. "
Feng Yu Heng did not understand what was going on, but she still obediently reached out to touch it. With this touch, memories surged forth in her mind, but strangely, the memories that surged forth were not memories related to Yao shi, nor were they left behind by the body's original owner. Instead, they came from her previous life, from the twenty-first century Feng Yu Heng, from when she was young. At that time, her mother was still around. She wore a long dress and had long hair that draped over her shoulders. She had a gentle smile on her face and would always hold her little face in her hands, calling her my daughter, my daughter, over and over again. Even after her mother became pregnant with her younger brother, she would still tell her that with a little darling, she would not forget the big darling. You are all mother's darlings.
Feng Yu Heng suddenly understood. In reality, she did not have any feelings for Yao shi. All of her feelings came from her previous life's mother. Because of Yao shi's face, she could not help but think of her previous life's mother and not just Yao shi as the body's original owner's mother. In the end, it was her failure to be able to walk out of this vicious circle. So what if it was a face? Even Yao shi realized that one could not just look at a person's face. Yao shi looked into her soul and saw that the person underneath this empty shell was not the original Feng Yu Heng. Furthermore, she managed to withdraw in a timely manner. She no longer felt reluctant or attached herself to her. But she could not walk out. Only now did she realize that she was not as clear-headed as Yao shi. She could not throw away the surface and could not see into the heart. In the end, this game was because she was muddle-headed.
"Seventh Brother." She suddenly raised her head, "Thank you."
In truth, Xuan Tian Hua did not understand what she was thanking him for. He only told her: "You still have a chance to sit on your mother's bed and feel the place where she slept, but I don't even have that chance. Compared to Seventh Brother, Heng Heng is very lucky. However, you must also remember that in this world, fate is predetermined. Who meets whom, who becomes close to whom, how long you can be together, whether your fate is deep or shallow, how far you can go, these are all predetermined by the heavens and cannot be forced. My fate with Imperial Concubine Mother is so shallow that I can't even remember what she looks like. As for you and Lady Yao, your fate has allowed you to reach this point. This is already a gift from the heavens. Listen to what Seventh Brother said. Keep it in your heart. You can have regrets, but do not be sad, much less resentful. Looking back is shallow. Looking forward is the path you need to walk in the future. "
After he finished speaking, he reached out a hand to Feng Yu Heng. The person sitting on the side of the bed also reached out a hand to him. Finally, they looked at each other and smiled. He heard Feng Yu Heng say: "I understand. Fate has reached this point. There is no reluctance, no resentment. In reality, I should thank the heavens for allowing me to obtain these two beautiful years after losing them for so many years. I should not be stubborn. I should be grateful. "
When she said these words, she was no longer filled with hatred like when she had severed ties with Yao shi. Instead, there was a smile on her face, full of relief.
Only then did Xuan Tianhua let out a sigh of relief, "Let's go. I'll send you back to the manor. Have a good sleep. Don't think about anything else. Let those people who like to cause trouble do as they please. There will be a day when Ming will deal with them. You don't need to worry. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded. She followed Xuan Tianhua and brought Ban Zou with her. Their figures flickered as they left the Yao Family's other courtyard. Just as they reached the street, snow began to fall from the sky. It was unknown whether this was a memorial to the family she had completely severed or if it was cheering and paving the way for her future path. Feng Yu Heng raised her head to welcome the snow. Snowflakes landed on her long eyelashes, sparkling and translucent. It was very beautiful.
In truth, Xuan Tianhua really did not understand what she meant by the last words she had said in the room. What did she mean by having lost them for so long? But there were some things that he did not want to be too clear about. He always looked at this world differently from other people. As he saw it, there were truths and falsehoods in this world. If he tried to understand everything, he would lose the truth of this world. He would also lose the colorful lives that this beautiful world brought about.
The next day, Feng Yu Heng slept until noon. She still did not know that in just one morning, news of Yao shi going to the South to help Fu Ya support the Eighth Prince and that Feng Jin Yuan had gone with her had already reached Feng Fen Dai's ears.
These words were said by Feng Zhao Lian. That crazy person had said that the imperial family had gone out of the city to hunt, and Feng Yu Heng did not bring him along, thus he brought Wu Li Sheng and went into the mountains on his own. The hunt was not successful, and he was nearly beaten by the prey. Fortunately, there were guards protecting him, so he did not suffer any injuries. But they had quite a good time. Regardless of whether it was Feng Zhao Lian, who had grown up in Qian Zhou, or Wu Li Sheng, who had grown up in the North, the cold of the winter in Dashun's capital was nothing. The two did not even wear thick winter clothes. They just wore short clothes and went into the mountains. They happily played for many days before they were willing to return.
Of course, Feng Zhao Lian's movements were unknown to others, but they could not be hidden from Feng Yu Heng's side. Early in the morning, Wang Chuan received news that Feng Zhao Lian would be returning to the city, thus she went out of the city to welcome him. She told him about Feng Yu Heng's plans, and Feng Zhao Lian immediately nodded, only saying: "I understand!"
At this time, he was already sitting in the Feng manor's main hall. With Wu Li Sheng speaking, she reported to Feng Fen Dai about the damage that had been done to the manor's gate by Feng Fen Dai.
Wu Li Sheng had a serious expression as she calculated the debt with Fen Dai: "Our Lian manor's gate was changed after we bought the manor because husband said that whether a manor is expensive or cheap, the gate is very important. We are not lacking in money, thus the gate must be of the best quality. Even if gold and jade are not used, sandalwood must be used. That's why the gate that Young Miss Feng and the servants were vigorously beating was made of red sandalwood. With you venting your anger, there was quite a bit of damage to the surface of the red sandalwood. We just inspected it. Fortunately, the damage is not too severe. There is no need to change the entire gate. It just needs to be repaired. But the cost of repairing it will need to be paid for by Young Miss Feng. It will cost a total of 350 taels. Young Miss Feng, prepare it over the next few days. "
When Feng Fen Dai received the two, housekeeper He Zhong was also present. There was also a maidservant that happened to bring in some tea. When he heard that the other party had offered 350 taels, He Zhong trembled and the servant girl who was serving tea almost threw the tea away. He Zhong quickly went forward to help serve the tea then chased the maidservant out. He himself wiped away some sweat and secretly sighed to himself that things really were getting worse with each passing day! Thinking back to when the Feng family was flourishing, what could this bit of money be considered? Unfortunately, that was not the present. In the present Feng manor, not to mention 350 taels, even taking out 35 taels would be difficult! Fortunately, the other side was settling a debt with Feng Fen Dai. Thinking about it, it would not be too awkward.
Indeed, Fen Dai did not care about this bit of money. Not giving it to the Feng family was one thing, but she did not lack money. In this aspect, the fifth prince doted on her very much. He would give her as much as she wanted. Either way, he was a prince of a country and did not lack money.
That was why she did not argue with Wu Li Sheng. She just casually waved her hand and said: "I will naturally give you the money later. Today, I just want to ask one thing clearly. Is Feng Jin Yuan at your manor?"
Feng Zhao Lian raised his beautiful face and looked at her, asking in confusion: "Why would your father be at my manor? Oh right, previously, he had disguised himself as a servant and snuck in. After that, he was discovered and chased out. Why has Young Miss Feng come to me to ask for him? "
Wu Li Sheng also said: "The Feng family's master does not have any self-respect. He spends all of his time pestering my husband. If he continues like this, I will need to report it to the government. We husband and wife have already gone to the mountains to play for many days. If the Feng family's master disappeared during this period of time, Young Miss Feng should have reported it to the government instead of pestering us. "
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Feng Yu Heng to speak, she heard Feng Zhao Lian suddenly say: "This can't be blamed on the Feng family's young miss. After all, Feng Jin Yuan's actions were too shocking. Fourth young miss Feng is so young. How could she have thought of the truth …"
