Chapter 9 (1/2)

Feng Yu Heng was trusting of granny Sun, but did not have any faith in the one driving the carriage. Especially seeing how he had struck Xu shi in Xi Ping village, she was certain he was not a good person.

“Granny stay in the carriage, I am going to get some air outside.” Waving to granny Sun, Feng Yu Heng pushed aside the curtain and left the carriage. She arrived next to the driver and sat down.

The driver did not think she would come out and froze briefly. Displaying an unnatural smile, he greeted her: “Second miss.”

This was the Feng manor’s hierarchy. Above her was another elder sister, Feng Chen Yu. It was exactly this person that had caused Yao shi’s fall from grace as the clan matriarch and Chen shi’s subsequent rise. Nowadays, she was the true matriarch.

“Uncle, it must be very tiring to drive all day and night.” Her body sliding back slightly, she leaned against the carriage. She reached her right arm in to her left sleeve and gently caressed the phoenix-shaped birthmark.

“What is the second miss talking about? This is this old servant’s job.” The driver pulled on the reins, not noticing the odd tone Feng Yu Heng took. The carriage drove even faster.

Feng Yu Heng picked at her lips, “Feng manor’s servants truly are loyal.”

“Naturally.” The driver shared a few laughs without any additional understanding. A 12 year old girl was absolutely incapable of arousing any doubts.

However, many things often will not develop in a normal manner, like Feng Yu Heng who was overlooked by the driver.

“It’s a shame though.” She quietly said: “It’s a shame the loyal servant doesn’t know the way. If we continue this way, we won’t reach the capital in this lifetime.”

“Hm?” The driver only just realized and turned to look at Feng Yu Heng. The originally earnest face began to distort. Her eyes shone with a sharp light. “Second miss, what do you mean with those words?”

Feng Yu Heng looked towards her opposition, their eyes stared at one another. The imposing manner of this 12 year old girl did not at all lose to the almost 40 year old man.

“I said, this road definitely does not lead to the capital city.”

The driver pulled on the reins again, “Then, second miss, where are we going?”
