“Old Man Feng, regard this as a homecoming!”
Old Geng Family Patriarch laughed in a clear and loud voice. He looked him up and down and saw that Old Patriarch Feng was fine. Contrary to people’s expectations, he was glowing with health. In an astonished tone, Old Patriarch Geng asked, “Where have you been these days? You didn’t seem to have suffered much, did you? Why are you in better health than I am?”
Old Patriarch Feng did not know how to answer this question. He was unable to speak since he felt that telling his old friend that he was going to get married was too embarra.s.sing.
Seeing his grandfather’s ridicule, Feng Jiu could not help but compressed her lips in a smile. “Grandpa Geng.”
“Hehe, Feng clan’s girl! Where did you find your grandfather? Look at how strange he is. I asked him a question and he got so embarra.s.sed.” Old Patriarch Geng thought it was so odd and looked at him from time to time.
Feng Jiu smiled craftily and spoke in a mysterious tone, “My grandfather is in good spirits since he encountered a happy event. Grandpa Geng, please keep it a secret for the time being. Soon, the news will come out and you will surely be surprised.” She smiled.
Old Patriarch Geng was shocked and then laughed heartily. “Good, good. Then this old man will wait to see what the big happy event is.” He paused and then spoke again. “You’ve just come back. I don’t want to delay your return to the palace. We can talk later when we have time.”
“Good. Then we’ll go back first. Wait for a few days, this old man will visit the Geng clan for a drink.” Old Patriarch Feng spoke and patted him on the shoulder. Then he walked away with his granddaughter.
On the way, many clan people came to express their good wishes. He also returned their greetings along the way, so that everyone could see that he returned safe and sound. When he reached the palace gate and saw the people waiting there, Old Patriarch Feng was deeply moved.
He never foresaw that a Feng clan descendant would overthrow the Murong clan and ascend the throne. What’s more unimaginable, he left home and everything was totally different when he came back.
