Chapter 515 – A Married Daughter Cannot Return to the Yao Family (2/2)
Feng Yu Heng was feeling a little better, but that feeling of fear was still present. Yao shi’s words replayed in her mind again and again. It was like a complaint. She was complaining that she had taken over this body while reminding her that she will need to return it someday.
Feng Yu Heng desperately grabbed Xuan Tian Ming’s arm, as her entire body began to tremble. She suddenly recalled a matter and asked: “If… and I am saying if, but if I was a fake…”
“As long as you are the girl that treated my legs in the mountains, that’s fine.” He shrugged and added: “In truth, a fake is better. If you really were Yao shi’s daughter, I would not want her. A father and mother like that could not possibly give birth to a decent daughter.” As he said this, he pinched the girl’s face and teased her: “What is it? Do you regret it?”
“Of course not.” She shrank into his embrace. Her headache was feeling better, thus she looked up and asked him: “When will we be returning to the military camp? I want to go back to the military camp. My steel is still in production, and the steel weapons are being made. How can I stay in the capital. This is no good.”
A pleading look appeared on her face along with a fawning look. Just looking at it caused Xuan Tian Ming to feel distressed.
“Get a good night’s sleep. We will depart when you wake up. Is that alright?”
She nodded and thought a little before acting spoiled and saying: “Then take off your mask.” While she spoke, she was assaulted by sleepiness. Her consciousness became blurred, as she muttered: “Your good looks have an actual use. Use it to help me fall asleep!” She then grabbed at his arm, “It would be best if we were already on our way to the military camp when I woke up. That would be a truly pleasant surprise.” After saying this, she fell into a deep sleep.
Xuan Tian Ming laughed and tilted his head, gently calling out: “Bai Ze!” Bai Ze immediately pushed the door open and entered. He then heard Xuan Tian Ming order: “Send word into the palace. Tell the old man that this prince will be bringing imperial daughter Ji An to the military camp tomorrow. The capital will be left to him to take care of. If he truly cannot understand what is going on, just have seventh brother put in some effort.”
Bai Ze nodded then glanced at the sleeping Feng Yu Heng. Worried, he asked: “Princess is fine, right?”
Xuan Tian Ming said: “She’s fine.” After thinking a little, he added: “Keep a close eye on the Feng family’s side. Although that Yao shi does not have a conscience, we cannot allow anyone to use her to threaten the imperial daughter.”
“Master, don’t worry.” Bai Ze’s expression was a little ugly. After holding it in for a moment, he could not and still spoke his thoughts: “As this subordinate sees it, it would be better if that woman died. She really is hanging on to her daughter’s leg.”
Xuan Tian Ming waved his hand: “Don’t say this sort of thing ever again. Whether she lives or dies, it’s up to her. We cannot dirty our hands, and we absolutely must not cause a problem for Heng Heng’s heart. Go!”
Bai Ze turned and was about to leave; however, he recalled a matter and quickly said: “Oh right, master, the Feng family’s young master came. He said that he wants to return to Xiao Zhou and wanted for princess to arrange a group to send him back.”
Xuan Tian Ming pondered a little and did not object, “This is also fine. At home, his father causes trouble, and his mother causes trouble. There is really not much benefit to him. Arrange a few extra hidden guards and ensure his safety. Also, fetch ten thousand taels worth of banknotes. Distribute them to the family of his schoolmates that were affected by the floods and use imperial daughter Ji An’s name.”
Bai Ze rubbed his nose, “Master is really quite thoughtful of princess.” After saying this, he quickly retreated a couple steps fearing that Xuan Tian Ming would give him a spanking. He then bowed and ran out of the room.
Xuan Tian Ming shook his head and sighed, “These people really are fearing him less and less!”
He placed the girl in his embrace down in the bed. After adjusting the pillow and covering her in blankets, he then raised his hand and removed the golden mask from his face and placed it between their pillows. Only then did he smile and pull the small body into his embrace and fall asleep.
This night’s sleep was a bit messy. Feng Yu Heng thought, why would she dream of marrying a wife? Was she getting married, or was it Xuan Tian Ming? Why was it that the music and red flowers were all squeezed inside the Yu Palace? There were also people repeatedly saying congratulations to her.
She tried to ask someone what exactly was going on; however, not a single person replied. Everyone just smiled at her as though they were wearing masks. She turned her head and saw Xuan Tian Ming also wearing a bright red wedding robe. He wore a red crown and did not wear his mask. The purple lotus flower on his brow accompanied by the red wedding robe looked better and better. But she began to feel awkward. She was still wearing her undergarments. It was clear that she had just woken up. Who was Xuan Tian Ming getting married to?
She realized that this was definitely a dream, and she forced herself to woke up from this dream. Opening her eyes, she saw Xuan Tian Ming looking at her with his large eyes. He was not wearing his mask, and the purple lotus flower on his forehead was still blurry and appeared lazy.
She furrowed her brow and reached to tug at the blankets. Only after ensuring that Xuan Tian Ming was not wearing a red robe, she finally calmed down.
She could not help but let out a long sigh of relief: “It’s fortunate that it was just a dream.”
Just after she said this, she suddenly heard the sound of music and drums. The tune was quite a joyous one.
She immediately sat up in bed and glared at Xuan Tian Ming, asking: “You really are marrying a wife?”
