Chapter 19 (1/2)

Although it was said that if the courtyard was not cleaned, then the three outside would not eat; however, those were just words. She had no intentions of treating servants so poorly, thus she passed an order to granny Sun: “Let those outside set down their work for now. They can continue after they’ve eaten. Also, the food in this manor, how do we eat it? I saw there was a kitchen in this courtyard. Do we need to make it ourselves?”

Granny Sun repeatedly shook her head: “That’s just a small kitchen for the mistress to use. Normally, the three meals each day are prepared by the main manor. The kitchen servants will then bring it over to this courtyard. Young miss and madam must be hungry. Please rest a while. I will go see the kitchen.”

Granny Sun left the room immediately after speaking. Calling to the three outside, they went together to the main house.

Feng Yu Heng had no expectations towards the food of the Feng Manor. Based on the variety of ways the Feng manor acted today, just being given food to eat would be considered not bad. It was best not to expect good food, nor to be full. As to what extent one would be left hungry, then it depended on their personal appetite.

Having prepared herself mentally, Feng Yu Heng no longer held any excessive expectations for lunch. Taking advantage of a moment where Yao shi and Zi Rui were not paying attention, she brought her right hand to the phoenix-shaped birthmark on her left wrist. Lowering her conscious in, she quickly grabbed two Snickers bars.

Inside the space, she tore off the wrappers and brought them out. She handed one to each of Zi Rui and Yao shi- “The eccentric I met in the mountains gave it to me. I wasn’t willing to eat it. Mother and Zi Rui should first get some food. It’s best not to put too much hope in eating your fill.”

In the mountains, she had met the ninth prince and explained using the excuse of having met an eccentric. Not only had he given her more medical knowledge, he also gave her some money.

That was how Feng Yu Heng had explained the origin of her 20 taels of silver. It was necessary because the trip back to the capital city required money for the inns and food. She only brought it out because it was such an emergency.

She was a little regretful that she had to spend the money. Originally, she had no intention of spending it. That person was the first she had communicated with since coming to this world. It was a similar feeling as with newly born animals. It would see the first person it saw as its mother.

Furthermore, she had never denied that she was astonished by that face. Even more, that was with him having broken both legs and looking extremely haggard, yet the purple lotus flower on his forehead was something she simply could not scatter from her mind.

Fortunately, returning to the capital, there was yet another matter that connected the two.

The person she thought she would not see again in this lifetime had somehow become her fiance. Although the Feng manor’s attitude had been confusing from beginning to end, the people Feng Yu Heng cared for, how could she allow them to fall in to another person’s hands.
