Chapter 324 The Ruler departs (1/2)
When they heard this, the two family clan heads quickly glanced at Old Man Feng. They had not forgotten that the Ruler had arranged a marriage for Feng Qing Ge….
Although in the eyes of everyone, for Feng Qing Ge to be a side concubine of the Crown Prince of Green Gallop Country was a prestige and considered it to be her good luck. However, Feng Xiao was adamant against it. In his eyes, he felt that being a side concubine was a huge loss for his precious daughter and he had stormed to the palace that very day! It was obvious that he had disagreed with this marriage and he even threw Lord Xiang out by the collar.
However, now that Feng Xiao had fallen, Feng Qing Ge had yet to return home, how would this marriage play out?
When they thought of this, the two of them sneaked glances at the Ruler and Old Patriarch Feng.
The expression of Old Patriarch Feng was still sorrowful as he replied with melancholy: ”I've only sent her a letter and urged her to return to the manor as soon as possible. I didn't tell her that something had happened to her father, if she knew, how worried would she be? I didn't want her to worry too much.”
Hearing this, Murong Bo did not ask further but consoled him and said: ”Don't worry too much Old Patriarch Feng, it wasn't easy for Feng Xiao to stay alive, this King believes that once we are able to find the Ghost Doctor, he would definitely be saved.”
”Thank you Ruler for sharing such auspicious words.”
Old Patriarch Feng lowered his head and cupped his hands together as he spoke, however, there was no grief in his eyes. There was only a burning fury that disappeared the moment he raised his head. It was so brief that it was as if it had never appeared at all in the first place hence no one had noticed it.
The few of them exchanged some words for a while and after Murong Bo left, the two family clan heads also bade their farewell.
After sending them off, Old Man Feng returned to Feng Xiao's courtyard and went to the stone bench in the middle and sat down without a word. All the guards who were guarding the place in the shadows were all baffled by this as they exchanged querying glances.
”Say, Young Miss is back, yet why is it that we are to tell the outside world that she hasn't returned yet?”
”Old Patriarch Feng definitely has his intentions behind it.”
”Why do I feel that it is Miss' own idea?”
