Chapter 24 (1/2)
Feng Yu Heng was a little regretful. She could only blame the fact that she only just arrived in this world that day. She was busy wondering what sort of changes had occurred with her body, but doing so caused her to slip up on things she should have watched out for.
That person was hiding in the mountains with heavy injuries, so he was clearly being hunted by enemies. On his side, however, was a single servant. No matter how she thought about it, the situation was extremely dangerous, yet she had stopped feeling concerned after his legs were mended; furthermore, she carried away all the money he had on his person.
“Damn!” She subconsciously cursed then immediately felt depressed again.
Didn’t leave? What reason did they have for remaining there? Even if they remained, when met with the enemy, what could he possibly do to help? Is it possible that she had to throw him in to her pharmacy?
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, this was a bad idea. Things that aren’t common could be said to be evil. She could not allow herself to be seen as some sort of evil spirit. In this era, once deemed a monster, she could be burned to death or stuck in a bamboo cage.
The more she thought, the more upset she became. She decided to enter her space. From the first floor to the second, she ceaselessly searched.
Broken legs and a ruined face, she searched for a long time, but she could not find any medications that could treat these two things.
Sitting on the ground in frustration, she felt a wave of cold air wash over her despite the pharmacy maintaining a constant temperature.
Feng Yu Heng remembered that night from beginning to end. That man’s body was quite haggard, but he never gave off an air of being in trouble. She also remembered that upon meeting him, her face had made a foolish look.
But now that she had heard the news, that man’s face was ruined!
No wonder she had seen him wearing a mask at the entrance to the capital. No wonder the great army did not display even a glimpse of celebration despite being victorious.
The war was won, but the leader was so severely injured, he could no longer have children.
How could a man continue to live!
Feng Yu Heng felt that this piece of shit world was testing her patience, again and again. The man that she cared for was ruined in an unclear manner. She, of course, had no idea who the enemy was.
Bullying her in to an unknown place with unknown people? Bullying her to change in to a twelve year old child?
It’s fine. Spending time in unfamiliar circumstances will eventually lead to them becoming familiar, and she will continue to grow older every day.
If they’ve ruined her things, regardless the perpetrator, they would always need to pay the price.
It was a sleepless night. Only when light reached the horizon, did she return to her bed and get some sleep.
In the morning, Feng Yu Heng was awoken by Feng Zi Rui calling her. The little guy had run all the way to her bed, while grabbing at her neck and calling, “Big sister, big sister, quickly get up.”
Feng Yu Heng sat up and drowsily looked at the child. Her mind immediately cleared up.
“Come.” She reached out and brought Zi Rui close, “Take these clothes off, we won’t wear them.”
She would not forget about her dress that felt like sandpaper. The clothes she received were of absurdly low quality, how could Yao shi and Zi Rui have received any better.
Shortly afterwards, granny Sun also entered the room. Following behind her was Man Xi, who was carrying a wooden basin.
“Young miss, there’s a problem with madam’s clothes.” Granny Sun walked forward and whispered to Feng Yu Heng: “The material was quite good, but as she wore it, the dye bled on to her skin somehow. Now, the dye is all over her body.”
Granny Sun spoke while watching Feng Yu Heng remove Zi Rui’s clothes. Slightly startled, she said: “Is the second young master’s clothes bleeding dye too?”
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, “The dye is not bleeding.” She raised the clothes up and inspected them for a while, then she flipped the collar for granny Sun to see, “Granny, look here.”
Granny Sun shuffled forward, only then did she notice that the collar of Zi Rui’s clothes were lined with countless small needle tips.
“Young miss! You must report this to the master!” Granny Sun became angry, “The master absolutely must know that someone wants to harm the second young master. This is not a small matter!”
Feng Yu Heng shrugged and laughed sarcastically, “Report what! It was most likely him that did it.”
“Second young miss!” Granny Sun raised her index finger to make a silencing gesture then pointed towards Man Xi, who was still in the room.
Feng Yu Heng spoke freely, “It’s fine.” Then advised granny Sun: “Change Zi Rui and mother in to the clothes from yesterday. Just make do with them for one more day. Bring the clothes that bled dye, this young miss will go take a stroll around the manor.”
