Chapter 154 (2/2)

Yao shi nodded: “It’s possible. The Bu family has always been ambitious and proud. Lord Bu’s funeral has just ended. It has yet to be 100 days, so it’s impossible for the Bu family to not be angry. Doing extreme things is very possible.”

Wang Chuan lightly sighed and advised Yao shi: “Madam, do not think too much on it. Young miss has a hidden guard from his Highness at her side. Now, that hidden guard has already begun searching. I will also send a letter to his Highness to have him quickly come over towards Feng Tong county.”

Yao shi was a little apologetic: “We are always troubling the prince, truly…”

“Madam, do not speak like an outsider.” Huang Quan responded: “Second young miss will be troubling his Highness for a lifetime, and his Highness enjoys it too.”

An shi also comforted her: “Big sister, be at ease. With his Highness the ninth prince here, second young miss will definitely be fine.”

Yao shi nodded, but she still felt anxious. At present, she had no other options.

Wang Chuan and Huang Quan helped Yao shi lie down and rest before leaving the room with An shi and Xiang Rong.

After sending off An shi and Xiang Rong, the two returned to their own rooms. Only then did Huang Quan pursue the earlier subject and ask: “What exactly happened at the peak of the mountain?”

Wang Chuan recounted all the events that took place at the top of Qi Feng Mountain for Huang Quan. Hearing about it caused Huang Quan to feel another urge to kill Feng Chen Yu. But, her rational mind still remained, and she reminded Wang Chuan: “We must go take a look at the peak of the mountain. If it really was them, then there will be movement on Feng Zi Hao’s end.”

Wang Chuan said: “Ban Zou has definitely already gone over. What we must do now is take good care of madam. With the situation being what it is on the young miss’ side, we must not allow anything to happen to madam. Also…” A sad look appeared on her face, “When we see his Highness again, I fear the two of us, as well as Ban Zou… will need to commit suicide to atone for our failure.”

Huang Quan was a little startled then immediately recalled the rules set by his Highness Prince Yu and could not help but become gloomy.

That’s right. His Highness the ninth prince had always been very clear when awarding and punishing people. Today, under their watch, their princess was lost. How could they possibly meet with his Highness.

The two fell silent for a while, with neither speaking. After roughly two hours, Ban Zou returned. He still had his usual devilish appearance, as he floated into the room; however, a cold breeze followed him in. Wang Chuan knew that Ban Zou was also in a state of disarray, as his qi gong was no longer at its peak performance.

“Do you have any news?” Huang Quan quickly asked.

Ban Zou shook his head: “No news. I have thoroughly searched the entirety of Feng Tong county. I have even looked in the Qi Feng Mountain range, but there were no clues.”

“What about on Feng Zi Hao’s side?”

“He has been sleeping the entire time, and there have been no movements.” Ban Zou wiped away some sweat, “I have already sent a letter to his Highness and written about the happenings over here. For the three of us here, none of us will be able to escape.” In regards to the punishments from the Yu Palace, the three were all very clear.

On this side, the three thought of countless ways to look for Feng Yu Heng. As for Feng Jin Yuan, his hidden guard held a pigeon and stood before him: “This was a carrier pigeon sent by the hidden guard at the second young miss’ side. It was captured by this servant.”

Feng Jin Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Reaching out his hand, he received it and skillfully removed the note from the pigeon’s leg. Glancing at it, he coldly snorted “He still wants to call Prince Yu over to Feng Tong county? They truly are optimistic!” He crushed the pigeon to death in his hand then coldly ordered the hidden guard: “This matter absolutely must not be known in the capital. The ninth prince and seventh prince especially must not find out. Starting today, capture all of their carrier pigeons!”

“This servant obeys.”

That night, not a single person in the Feng clan residence slept happily. The air was still thick with the smell of fire, which reminded everyone that a child from the Feng family disappeared without a trace.

When the sun finally rose, some of the servants who had gone to search for Feng Yu Heng returned. Feng Jin Yuan swapped them out for another group of people to go search. It appeared that he was putting in effort.

Yao shi sat in her own room without moving. Her breakfast had to be brought in by the servants. An shi and Xiang Rong also had their maidservants go help search. For everyone, they only had one objective. That was to find Feng Yu Heng.

The matriarch quietly arranged things for when they would go make offerings in five days time. She did not mention Feng Yu Heng at all, but when she watched people come and go, as they searched for Feng Yu Heng, a look of worry appeared in her eyes.

In the afternoon, as the matriarch was feeling anxious, everyone gathered. Chen Yu had always been at her side like an obedient small cat. Every now and then she would pour some tea or massage the matriarch’s shoulders. The matriarch was a little distracted and felt that Chen Yu was not doing a good job, so she simply pushed her away: “Go rest to the side. There is no need for you to do such things.” As she said this, she waved to Jin Zhen: “Come massage my shoulders.”

Chen Yu drew back the corners of her lips as she was pushed away. A light flickered in her eyes before she immediately recovered. A young servant came forward to help Chen Yu sit down. When she helped Chen Yu sit down, the servant leaned close to her ear and quietly said: “The results of the drugged wax, is eldest young miss satisfied?”

Chen Yu was extremely shocked. She turned her head to look at the servant, but the servant had left immediately after helping her sit down. Holding the tea tray, she left the room.
