Chapter 498 – Why Is He Crying? (1/2)

Why Is He Crying?

Yao Xian’s appearance succeeded in causing Feng Jin Yuan to vomit three mouthfuls of blood. By the end, he was helped into a carriage by servants.

Yao Xian had his arms crossed as he watched the Feng family’s carriages depart. He did not forget to remind Cheng Jun Man: “Remember to get him a doctor. Don’t let him die then blame me later on.”

Cheng Jun Man did her best to hold back her laughter, saying: “Lord Yao, don’t worry. One will be called.”

Finally, the Feng manor’s plaque was removed. Finally, the final carriage also left the road. Yao Xian asked Feng Yu Heng: “Feng Jin Yuan is their husband, after all. Say, will the Cheng family’s sisters go against you someday?”

Feng Yu Heng smiled wryly, “Who knows! The women of the ancient era have different thoughts compared to us. With one wife and many concubines, men are destined to place all of their thoughts on women. At the same time, smart women will be able put their feelings aside for the sake of the family and their own benefit. I trust that they are smart people. They have been in the Feng family for so long. They should know that if they follow Feng Jin Yuan and follow his desires, sooner or later, they would not even know how they died. Rather, if they follow me, there would still be a chance to live.”

Yao Xian nodded, but he still reminded her: “You must remain vigilant. People’s intentions are hard to guess!”

Feng Yu Heng naturally understood that people’s intentions were hard to guess, but she still wanted to trust those people that had chosen to follow her. This sort of trust was not some sort of subjective belief. Rather, it was a feeling that made her want to keep some more people on her side, with the Cheng shi sisters, An shi and Xiang Rong as examples. She always believed that “betrayal” was not human nature. As long as one was willing to work for it, she did not believe that it was impossible to obtain the desired outcome.

Yao Xian led a group to inspect the Feng manor. Feng Yu Heng did not have that desire, as she brought Huang Quan and returned to the imperial daughter’s manor. Upon entering the manor, she saw Qing Lan come over and helplessly say: “Young miss, madam is packing up her things and saying that she wants to move next door with the old master.”

Feng Yu Heng stopped in her tracks and furrowed her brows. An inexplicable irritation welled up. There were times when she truly wanted to be like Xuan Tian Ming and just begin whipping people when she was in a bad mood, or she could just go out and start fires. Feng Yu Heng thought, was this retribution? Normally, she did her best to allow herself to live arrogantly and happily, but there had to be a Yao shi. With her status as her mother, she could neither hit her nor curse her, and she had no place to complain about her grievances. Yao shi might be a hurdle in her life.

She waved her hand and began walking once more. Qing Lan believed that she was going to see Yao shi but found that she had actually turned to leave the manor once more. She could not help but ask: “Young miss, will you not go and advise the madam?”

Feng Yu Heng spat out: “If she wants to move, just let her. Tell her that I will not care about her matters from this day forward. If she is lacking money, just come and ask me. Don’t tell me about anything else.”

Qing Lan was stunned in place. Watching Feng Yu Heng leave the manor with Huang Quan, her heart began to ache. She was Yao shi’s personal servant; however, it was Feng Yu Heng that had chosen her back then. Having been at Yao shi’s side for a year, she had seen how well Feng Yu Heng treated the people in the manor. She had seen the protection offered to her as a daughter; however, she also saw the indifference and confusion after each time Feng Yu Heng departed. She was completely unable to understand why Yao shi was like this. Back then, it was her that had chosen to divorce the Feng family. Her daughter had such bright prospects and treated her so well. What was there to be dissatisfied with?

Qing Lan was unable to understand the situation no matter what. She just knew that they would need to move next door to live. She was very unwilling to leave this imperial daughter’s manor.

Feng Yu Heng brought Huang Quan and quickly left the road. She had practically escaped her own manor. Huang Quan complained for her young miss, unable to hold back: “Madam really is something. Has young miss not treated her well enough? Why does she hurt young miss like this? Young miss,” She tugged at Feng Yu Heng: “If you truly cannot accept it, just go and discuss it with madam a little more. It’s important that she understands how much you have done for her. If it was not for young miss’ protection, would she have been able to obtain the title of first-rank noble lady? Would she be able to live as comfortably? As this servant sees it, she has become too comfortable. Once a person becomes comfortable, they enjoy causing trouble when there is none. Maybe by throwing her into a dangerous situation and allowing her to see the gates of hell, she will not think like this.”

The servants of the imperial daughter’s manor were quite respectful toward Yao shi normally, but respect did not mean that they could watch Feng Yu Heng be bullied. Especially people like Huang Quan and Wang Chuan. The person that they followed was Feng Yu Heng. In this life, they would only listen to Feng Yu Heng. In fact, when they had been sent to Feng Yu Heng’s side by Xuan Tian Ming, he had said, even if there is a day when this prince goes against the Feng family’s second young miss, and she tells you to come and kill this prince, you must listen. That was why when Feng Yu Heng suffered grievances, for people like Huang Quan, it was something that they definitely could not accept.

“Young miss, if you will not go then this servant will go!” She reached out to tug Feng Yu Heng’s sleeve, “A mother should not be like this. Back then, even Chen shi treated Feng Chen Yu better than madam is treating young miss. If it continues like this, this servant could not endure it.”

Feng Yu Heng laughed, “If I can endure it, what is there that you can’t endure? It’s fine. Just let her go. This matter is not her fault.”

“Young miss!” Huang Quan was so angry that she did not know what to say. Her young miss was never someone that could endure like this. Why was it that she had been bullied to this degree, yet she was still able to endure?

Feng Yu Heng understood what she was thinking and helplessly said: “It’s not that I am not against it. It’s just that I don’t know how to resist this. She is not someone from the Feng family. She is my birth mother. What do you want for me to do to her?”

With her saying it like this, Huang Quan was also speechless. That’s right, it was the birth mother bullying her own daughter. What could they do to her? She could not help but shake her head and continue to walk slowly and aimlessly with Feng Yu Heng.

Finally, Feng Yu Heng stopped in her tracks and looked up; however, they had reached a lake. In the middle of the lake was Xuan Tian Ming’s Refined Deity Building. A boatman by the lake waved to her and said: “Is young miss going to Refined Deity Building? Quickly come on the boat!”
