With regards to Yao shi, Feng Yu Heng and Feng Zirui had talked about it before. Feng Zirui had even expressed his attitude before, but he had never done it like this before. He had been so direct and had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with that mother. He had even brought up the old grudge from the mountain village in the Northwest.
In truth, although Feng Yu Heng had not truly participated in the matters of the past, she had inherited all of the memories of the original owner. Moreover, the memories of those three years were very deep. Every detail was in her mind, so it was impossible for her to miss it. She knew everything that Zi Rui had said. She even remembered that during those three years, the body's original owner had complained about Yao shi's mother more than once.
She had no way of refuting Zirui's words. Yao shi and her son had brought this upon themselves. Even if she wanted to persuade them to reconcile, she was in no position to do so. Moreover, as a mother who had abandoned her child and left, why should she forgive them? She, Feng Yu Heng, had never been a saint in her previous life. If she wanted to repay evil with good, how could she repay good? She could not be like the saints who said, "If others abuse me thousands of times, I will treat them like my first love." To her, family was family, and enmity was enmity. If you were willing to change from family to enmity, she had tried to stop you, but she could not stop you. If it was not for the fact that Yao shi had the same face as her mother who had died early in her previous life, she might not have even tried to stop her. Her heart would not have been hurt. She would have stayed at a respectful distance from the other side when they first started acting like this. How could she have continued to deal with them until now?
She looked at Zirui and suddenly smiled. She softly said, "My Zirui has truly grown up. From this day forward, there will only be you and me left in this world. Don't worry, elder sister will do everything to protect you. I will properly watch you grow up and give you the best. "
Zirui also said to her, "I don't want elder sister to give it to me. Zirui will earn it himself. Zirui must grow up a bit and protect elder sister. I will let elder sister live in peace."
In the evening, as usual, Feng Yu Heng accompanied the child until he fell asleep. In the past, Feng Zirui was very clingy. He would either cling to Yao Shi or her. He could not cling to either of them. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan could also cling to him. In short, he needed someone to accompany him when he slept. It couldn't be like this, where he slept on the bed and the person beside him could sit on the chair and read a book casually.
But now, Feng Zirui was sleeping soundly, and he was very well-behaved. He no longer rolled up his blanket as often as before, and his legs were also kicking around disorderly. Now, the child's sleeping posture was like a well-disciplined soldier. His breathing was even, and he didn't move even when he was asleep.
Feng Yu Heng could not help but sigh in her heart when she saw the changes in her brother. In the end, people had to grow up. They understood more things and had the ability to analyze things independently. Even when they slept, they had restrictions on themselves. They were no longer as casual as before. But with restrictions, their innocence was gone. At such a young age, they had to mature like other children of this era. Until one day, they would separate from their families, marry and have children. They would no longer need her as an elder sister to protect them.
She smiled and quietly left Zirui's room. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan waited outside. The three of them returned to her courtyard. Huang Quan went to fetch some water for her to wash up. Wang Chuan helped her change her clothes while listening to her: "In a moment, send someone to the Imperial Palace Yu. There's no need to alarm His Ninth Highness. Just inform the gatekeeper. Tell him that when His Highness finishes court tomorrow, have him stop at the palace gates and bring Zirui into the palace to pay respects to the Emperor. "Wang Chuan nodded. He put away her outer robe and said that he would personally take care of it. Huang Quan just happened to come in at this time. Feng Yu Heng said: "Tomorrow at noon, Huang Quan will send Zirui off. When he returns to the capital, he has to see the Emperor first. Last time, the Emperor mentioned that he missed him."
Huang Quan quickly agreed. He then asked: "Then Young Miss won't be going into the palace with him?"
She shook her head, "I won't be going. You can just hand over Zirui to His Ninth Highness at the palace gates. I'll take Wang Chuan and Ban Zou to the village outside the city. It'll be the new year soon. I have to personally go to the orphanage to take a look."
Huang Quan nodded. After thinking for a bit, he said: "Young Miss, don't sleep yet. Try on the clothes that Lady Zhou sent over today first. Also, choose a set to wear for the palace banquet."
Feng Yu Heng didn't object. She tried on the clothes that Lady Zhou sent over one by one. In the end, she wore a peony colored dress and stared blankly at the mirror.
She wasn't the only one who stared blankly. Huang Quan also stared blankly. After a while, he repeatedly sighed: "It's really beautiful! This is the first time I've seen Young Miss wear clothes of this color. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. " After thinking for a bit, he carefully looked at Feng Yu Heng's figure and finally understood — — "This servant understands. Young Miss, you've grown taller than you were two years ago. Your body also has more meat. The places that should be outstanding have also become outstanding. Naturally, you'll be able to hold up your clothes better than before. En, your complexion also looks better. In addition to this color, it really is beautiful. "
Feng Yu Heng laughed and pointed at her chest: "You're saying that it grew here?" She laughed as she spoke, "I'll be fifteen years old soon. It's time for me to develop. Otherwise, I'll always be dry and unsightly."
When Huang Quan heard this, he was speechless. Only his Young Miss could say something like this. Other Young Miss's breasts would be tightly wrapped with cloth as long as their breasts bulged a little. They wished they could throw out all the fat that had grown out. However, they didn't know that it was true that it was beautiful to have some fat!
Huang Quan giggled and suggested to Feng Yu Heng: "In the future, Young Miss should wear more clothes of this color. It'll look good. Don't always dress yourself so plainly."
Feng Yu Heng also smiled and said: "I've never been particular about what I wear. As long as it's comfortable and pleasing to the eye, it's fine. Only the peony is truly beautiful. In the past, I was unwilling to wear this color when I entered the palace because I was afraid of causing trouble. " After saying this, she said somewhat helplessly: "Even if I avoid it like this, I still can't avoid it. Every time, it comes to me."
"That's right." Huang Quan agreed, saying: "That's why we don't need to think about those taboos this time. Moreover, these clothes were sent to you by Lady Zhou. Lady Zhou is the most thorough person. If she dares to make clothes of this color, it means that it's fine for us to wear them."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Then let's go with this." While saying this, she took it off and handed it to Huang Quan: "Hang it up. Don't put it in a pile. It'll wrinkle easily." She had already hung the clothes in her bedchamber. The two servants had also become very familiar with it. Their days were a combination of ancient and modern times.
The imperial daughter's manor went to bed early at night. In the Lu manor, Lu Yan had gone crazy from anger over a bowl of bird's nest. The members of the Ge Clan advised her from the side: "That's what this thing tastes like. Eating it is for the sake of nourishing your body and face. It's not for the sake of being delicious. No matter what is said, it's not sweet water."
Lu Yan, however, did not believe it, "Impossible! I heard people say that bird's nest is very delicious when it's stewed. Otherwise, how could the imperial concubines in the palace eat it? Think about it, I'm just the daughter of an official, yet I find it hard to swallow. How could the imperial concubines in the palace endure it with their delicate bodies? "
There was nothing that the members of the Ge Clan could do and could only tell the truth: "It's not your fault that you can't eat it. What sort of chefs are used in the palace! They put in plenty of ingredients. It's natural that it's delicious. With our manor's current situation, the chefs that we used in the past have all left. The ones that remain are just the ones that helped us cut the vegetables. "
Lu Yan was a little shocked, but she very quickly understood. Although the present Lu Family was still the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo, and even if they did not have the businesses outside, they would not be living as dismal as they were now. But the problem was that the Yao family's suppression of the Lu Family's businesses was extremely fierce. Not only did they destroy all of their businesses, they also caused the Lu Family to be deeply in debt. Just the amount of money that they had lost was enough to cover the lifetime salaries of many left prime ministers. How could they not be poor?
The hatred in her heart toward the Yao family immediately soared. That bowl of top-quality bird's nest that she found hard to swallow after just a few sips was fiercely thrown to the ground. She gritted her teeth so hard that they nearly shattered, "Yao family, there will come a day when I will have your family ruined! There will come a day when I will uproot the Yao family by its roots. Nine generations! Everyone related to the Yao family will be killed! "
Faced with Lu Yan's hysteria, the members of the Ge Clan did not stop her. They just calmly ordered the servants to clean up the things on the ground. As for the bird's nest that had been wasted, if the servants did not dislike it, they could pick it up and eat it. After thinking a bit, they resolutely said: "Daughter, don't worry. Mother will go and invite a chef that specializes in bird's nest into the manor tomorrow. Even if it takes the entire Lu manor, those bird's nest will be prepared for you! No matter how hard it is for us, it will not be for you. "
Who knew if Lu Yan had heard the Ge Clan's words. She just stared at the servants carefully picking up the bird's nest and placing it in another bowl. Just as she was about to take it away, she suddenly loudly said: "You're not allowed to throw it away, and you're not allowed to eat it. Go wash it and bring it back. No matter how disgusting it is, I will eat it. Not for anything else, but for the sake of the Lu manor being able to make a comeback in the future, I will eat all of these bird's nest. "
The next morning, Huang Quan sent Zirui to the palace gates to wait for Xuan Tianming. She took out the medicine from her space and had Qing Yu deliver it to Hundred Herb Hall. She then left with Wang Chuan in an imperial carriage and bought a number of new year goods in the capital. They then headed to the residence outside the city.
Speaking of the orphans living in the residence, aside from the younger ones, the older children had been sent to the Hundred Herb Halls in the capital and the other provinces after undergoing medical training. Currently, there were many new people coming to the residence. They were all orphans from the surrounding towns. Tian Dong and Fu Sang had also gone to the other provinces, but they were still called back. After all, the residence could not do without the two of them, and the two of them had a better understanding of the situation here and were more accustomed to it.
From the capital to the residence, it was a journey of less than two hours by carriage. When Feng Yu Heng's imperial carriage left the residence, there were many people inside who saw it. Some of the newly arrived children were very curious and even ran back into their rooms out of fear; however, the children that recognized the imperial carriage cheered and ran outside. Even Fu Sang and Tian Dong followed them out. Only after Feng Yu Heng lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage did Fu Sang quickly go forward and say: "It just so happens that Imperial Daughter has come. Right now, there is a matter that this servant and Tian Dong are worried about and are unable to make a decision!"
