It was impossible for the mood of the officials to not be affected by the Sheng Palace, but to the current Xuantian Mo, these people were no longer important. He needed to redeploy and reorganize his power, especially around the capital. He needed to take advantage of this great opportunity when Feng Yu Heng left and Xuan Tianming was about to leave to completely change his power and take a step forward.
At this time, in the Feng manor, Feng Fendai brought her maidservant Dong Ying to stroll around the manor. They had already been strolling around for two days. Dong Ying accompanied them the entire time. Although Feng Fendai did not say a single word, this smart servant could guess a bit of her young miss' thoughts.
Yesterday morning, when Princess Ji 'an left the capital, her young miss had already secretly sent her off. It was just that she followed far behind the group of carriages and did not show her face. She did not even go forward to say a single word. The always arrogant and despotic fourth young miss, the one who did not get along with Princess Ji 'an both internally and externally, when she saw Princess Ji' an leave the capital yesterday, there was a bit of reluctance in her eyes. There was also a look of envy that was hard to hide. It was the first time she saw her young miss like this. The scene at that time was still imprinted in her mind and could not be erased.
After sending her off and returning to the manor yesterday, the fourth young miss had been strolling around the manor. She even stood in front of third young miss and concubine mother An's courtyard for a long time. Who knew what she was thinking about.
Dong Ying silently followed Fendai around the manor until her feet began to hurt. Finally, Feng Fendai stopped in front of Feng Jinyuan's study and suddenly sneered. She then muttered to herself: "Feng family's daughter to the first wife? All these years, the position of the Feng family's daughter to the first wife that I have always wanted, thinking about it now, it really is a joke! The Feng family is gone. What does it matter if I'm the daughter of the first wife or a concubine? "
She was so angry that she trembled. Punching the fence outside the courtyard, her fingers began to bleed. Dong Ying quickly pulled out a handkerchief in fear to help her bandage the wound. While bandaging, she advised: "Young miss, don't be like this. The matter has already passed. In the future, we will live our own lives. What does it matter what this manor's surname is? Sooner or later, you will marry into the Li Palace. When that time comes, people will only remember that you are the official princess of the Li Palace. It will not be related to the Feng family. " The servant had been with Fen Dai for a long time. She had seen all of Feng Jin Yuan's suicidal actions. From the bottom of her heart, there was not a single person in the manor that did not despise Feng Jin Yuan. As long as they thought of Feng Jin Yuan, even Feng Fen Dai, who was also suicidal, felt that they should sympathize.
Fendai did not reject Dong Ying's bandaging, she just stood there, looking at the room in front of her, suddenly asking: "Dong Ying, say, if I had chosen to stand on the same side as Feng Yu Heng back then, would today's outcome be different?"
Dong Ying was startled. She did not know if Fendai had asked this because she had thought things through or because she was angry. For a while, she did not dare to answer.
Fen Dai then added: "I know that you're a thoughtful girl. Just speak the truth. Tell me what you're thinking."
Dong Ying pondered and tied a knot on the handkerchief, helping Fendai put down her hand. Only then did she lower her head and say: "Since the fourth young miss has asked, this servant will be bold enough to say a few words. In the past, when we were in the old Feng manor, this servant was also young and was assigned to work in the courtyard. I did not know much about the matters of the masters in the manor. But ever since this servant began serving the fourth young miss, this servant was also muddled in the beginning. I only knew that the fourth young miss was this servant's master. Everything had to be done for master's sake. But slowly, as time passed and I saw more, and after experiencing these changes, this servant felt that the second young miss was right. "
"Right?" Fendai smiled bitterly, "Tell me what was right."
"The second young miss was not good to master and was not good to the previous head madam. She was also average to the elder madam. She was even more at odds with the fourth young miss and concubine mother Han. Let's think about this from our own perspective. She is a bad person. But if we look at it from the second young miss' perspective, if she did not do this, perhaps she would have already died in the manor. Although this servant has not taken care of many other masters, over the years, I have heard many things about the large families. In a single courtyard, if you want to kill someone, it is truly too easy. Fourth young miss, let's speak from our hearts. If you knew earlier that the Feng family's master would become like this, would you still be like you were in the past? Would you still fight for the position of daughter of the first wife and continue to oppose the second young miss? "
Faced with this servant's words and questions, Fendai did not get angry for the first time. Instead, she calmly nodded, "I would not. Unfortunately, how could the previous me know what would happen in the future? "
"But the second young miss knows." Dong Ying added: "This servant's meaning is that the second young miss is able to see further into the future. Of course, she is a few years older than the fourth young miss. She was also raised outside and met an eccentric master. She has seen many things and is knowledgeable. She saw it long ago … Young miss, please forgive this servant's rudeness. The second young miss saw that the Feng family's master was not a good person, thus she made plans for herself long ago. But you were one step too late! "
Fendai smiled bitterly, "That's right! I did not see it. My mind was blinded by power. At that time, I felt that the position of daughter of the first wife was so high and out of reach. I even thought that if I sat in that position, it would be like reaching the heavens in a single step. But thinking about it now, it is nothing but bullshit. I do not have Feng … I do not have second sister's foresight. That is why I ended up in my current situation. "
Hearing that she was willing to call Feng Yu Heng second sister, Dong Ying relaxed and quickly comforted her: "There is no bad ending. Fourth young miss, you are still the future official princess of the Li Palace. His Highness the fifth prince's feelings for you are something that anyone would be envious of! Also, if you want to repair your relationship with the second young miss, it is not too late now. Didn't you see that the third young miss also left the capital? They are both sisters. If they can get close, you can also do it. "
"Me?" Fendai shrugged and smiled, "How could that be possible. But Xiang Rong has her own ideas. In the past, I always felt that she was a weak person that could be bullied by anyone. Even if she is older than me by a few months and I have to call her elder sister, I feel that she is inferior to me in every aspect. Look, I have already become the fifth prince's future official princess, but what about her? She did not manage to get anything for herself. Oh, the Luo Province sent quite a bit of dowry over, but what is the point of just having a dowry. Who will she marry? "Although she said this, the envy in Fendai's eyes still showed itself. Finally unable to hold it in, she lowered herself and said: "Regardless of who she marries, it is all good. At the very least, she will be able to go out with second sister. With second sister protecting her, she will be able to find a good marriage sooner or later. There is no need for me to worry about it."
"Fourth young miss." Dong Ying continued to advise, "How about we also go!" She, Dong Ying, really was not trying to persuade Feng Yu Heng. She was just thinking for her own sake. She desperately wanted to pull Fendai down the right path. At the very least, she would not follow her and cause her own death. If things continued like this with Feng Fendai, she did not dare believe that the fourth young miss would be able to safely live until the age of 15 to get married. She was a servant who was bound by a contract, and the contract was in Feng Fendai's hands. She could not escape. If she wanted to live, she could only continue to advise her.
But Feng Fendai shook her head, "It's too late. Going to seek refuge now is already too late. Feng Yu Heng and I have already accumulated too many grudges. I fear that even if I kneel at her feet, I will not be able to get a single word of forgiveness. " She smiled, and her previous expression returned to her face, "Forget it, since it's too late, I might as well continue down this path. I definitely cannot turn back, and there is no room for turning back. I just don't believe that I will not be able to obtain a life of riches and honor in this lifetime! Dong Ying, have someone send out an invitation. This young miss will be going to visit His Highness the Sixth Prince tomorrow. "
The hope that had just risen in Dong Ying's heart was instantly extinguished. She despaired and no longer believed that she could persuade the fourth young miss to return. Forget it, forget it, an arrow that had been shot could not be turned back. Just now, the fourth young miss had said it. She could only continue down this path and definitely could not turn back. Since she could not turn back, she could only follow along. Then she would follow along well. She would help plan and help her with everything. She only hoped that the fourth young miss would truly have a good life. One day, she would be able to obtain riches and honor as she wished. Like that, she, Dong Ying, could also be considered to have fought for a future for herself.
Outside the capital, Feng Yu Heng's group of carriages had already set off from Bai Shui County and continued on their way. Because the Xuan Tianhua had informed them beforehand, the inn in Bai Shui County treated them quite well. Even the beds had been remade and thickened. The room was very warm and did not have any strange odors. It was also very comfortable to sleep in. When they were settling the bill in the morning, the shopkeeper refused to accept the money. After asking a few more questions, he said that His Highness the Seventh Prince had already given the money and could not accept any more. Feng Yu Heng did not insist and only gave her thanks. Leading the group of carriages, they continued on their way.
Xiang Rong sat in the carriage and felt even more emotional. Now, they were getting further and further away from the capital. She began to miss An shi and began to worry that An shi would not be living well and would be bullied by others. Feng Yu Heng could see her worry and helplessly said: "Just don't worry. I trust that His Highness the Fourth Prince will definitely have people take care of concubine mother An."
"Him?" Xiang Rong shook her head, "I did not tell him when I left. I fear that he will be cursing me at the manor for the next few days. How could he be willing to take care of mother's side."
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, "Even if he doesn't take care of it, isn't there still His Highness the Seventh Prince? His Ninth Highness will definitely need to return to the military camp. Not too long later, he will be leading troops to the South. That's why I already told my Seventh Brother to help take care of the capital. Concubine mother An's side has also been taken care of. Don't worry, nothing will happen. "
"Really?" Xiang Rong's eyes lit up, as she let out a sigh of relief, "Then I can be at ease. I left in a hurry, and mother did not agree at first. Later on, seeing that I was truly insistent, she finally nodded. Second sister, in truth, nobody can bully mother. What I am worried about is Fen Dai. "
With Feng Fen Dai being brought up, Feng Yu Heng was also helpless. The youngest daughter of the Feng family; however, she truly inherited the personality of a daughter of a concubine. In fact, the tolerance of the people in the capital towards concubines was not very high. Although the rich and powerful families all had concubines, the existence of concubines was not something that could be brought up in public. When it was mentioned, even the first wife would scold them a few times. Even the children that crawled out of the concubines' bellies were not treated well. Everyone said that they took after their mother. All they thought about was fighting for favor and crawling into bed. What they learned was all about crawling into bed.
Fen Dai was this sort of person. She was a classic example of a daughter raised by a concubine. She had all of the bad habits that a concubine should have, but her heart was even higher than that of a daughter of the first wife. Even now, Feng Yu Heng did not know where that confidence that she would definitely become the daughter of the first wife came from.
"Second sister." Xiang Rong tugged at Feng Yu Heng's sleeve and quietly asked: "If Fen Dai can learn some good things and is no longer like she was in the past, second sister, are you willing to forgive her?"
Feng Yu Heng was stunned. She had not thought about this problem because she did not believe that Fen Dai could change from the bottom of her heart. That was why Xiang Rong's question caused her to think for a long time. In the end, the answer that she gave was …
