Chapter 205 (1/2)

Feng Fen Dai quivered as she turned around. Sure enough, she saw a large carriage with its curtain lifted and a person sitting inside. That person wore a set of dark purple Winter robes, had a golden mask on his face and a purple lotus flower on his forehead. If this was not Xuan Tian Ming, who else could it be!

She wanted to kneel and greet him, but she was unwilling to pull her eyes away. Just like that, she stared at the person inside the carriage, while her heart felt as though it was going through a turbulent sea. For a long time, she could not regain her calm.

Feng Yu Heng saw Xuan Tian Ming reach for his whip out of irritation. Only then did she helplessly shake her head and remind: “Fourth sister, if you don’t want your face to be whipped, it would be best to look away.”

Fen Dai was startled and immediately realized that she had lost control of herself, but she did not know where she found the self-confidence to believe that Xuan Tian Ming clearly liked her. She was certain that Xuan Tian Ming would not whip her face, thus she continued to stare at the face covered by the golden mask while ignoring the raised whip in Xuan Tian Ming’s hand.

The officials and the third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, who had come to send off Feng Jin Yuan had left a long time ago. Now, it was only the people of the Feng family who were knelt on the ground. The citizens who were walking past did not understand what was happening, but they knew that the person in the carriage had to be a person with a high ranking. Thus, there were also people who knelt down. There were also people that were more frightened, who turned back and ran away.

Feng Yu Heng frowned and looked at the scene in the street. She quickly walked towards Xuan Tian Ming’s carriage and gave an order to Wang Chuan: “Tell concubine mother An to bring every back to the manor first. I have some things to discuss with his Highness.” After saying this, she got in the carriage.

Feng Fen Dai was not willing to accept this. She was especially not reconciled when she watched the curtain close. The carriage then turned around and departed. She stomped her foot, as a great hatred surged forth.

Han shi quickly went forward to offer her advice: “You are taking too much risk. What if you roused the anger of the ninth prince, who knows what trouble would have been caused.”

Feng Fen Dai did not say anything. Instead, a thought surged to the top of her mind. If Feng Yu Heng died, became crippled or lost her purity, she would no longer have the right to marry Xuan Tian Ming. They were both daughters of the Feng family, so perhaps she would have the opportunity to marry him in her place.

Han shi saw Fen Dai’s eyes spinning and knew that she definitely came up with some sort of idea. She could not help but remind her: “You must remember the lesson you learned from last time. You absolutely can not act rashly.”

Fen Dai flicked her sleeve, “I know, you’re so annoying.”

At this time, Feng Yu Heng was with Xuan Tian Ming in the carriage. She held his whip in one hand and the armrest of his wheelchair in the other. She was earnestly advising him, saying: “Whatever the case may be, a man hitting a woman is not a good thing.”

Xuan Tian Ming looked at her with an interesting look, “I have hit plenty in the past.”

She recalled the time he had hit Chen shi and helplessly said: “At any rate, that happened in the manor. Was this not the middle of the street.”

“Heng Heng, when have you started to be reasonable?”

Feng Yu Heng was stunned then immediately became angry: “Are you saying I was not reasonable in the past? Xuan Tian Ming, when have I ever been unreasonable?”

“You’re pretty unreasonable right now.” He broke down the situation for her: “Look, I was originally coming to rescue you, but you ended up scolding me for a while. Is this something a reasonable person can do?”

She rolled her eyes, “I am developing your gentlemanly demeanor.” After saying this, she saw a blank look on his face, thus she shook her head: “Even if I said it, you would not understand. Oh right, were you not at the military camp? How come you’ve returned so suddenly? I was just about to go visit you at the military camp after sending off Feng Jin Yuan.”

Xuan Tian Ming smiled, “It seems I really should not have come back. I should have waited at the military camp for our Heng Heng to come visit.”

Feng Yu Heng raised her hand and poked the hole in the mask at the forehead, “In your dreams.” After smiling, she became serious, “It snowed so heavily a few days ago, nothing happened on your end, right?”

“Nothing happened.” Xuan Tian Ming shook his head, “The city where the military camp is located is sturdy. It is not as desolate as you think.”

Feng Yu Heng let out a sigh of relief, “That’s good. That day, seventh brother went out of the city to make offerings to his mother and was caught up in an avalanche. I worried that something would have happened on your end. But Ban Zou and them said that it had snowed too heavily, so there was absolutely no way of going.” Her expression dropped. No matter how strong a person was, there would always be some things that would be out of reach.

Xuan Tian Ming could see that she had become dejected. He could not help but raise his hand and pat her hair, “I am a man. It should not be that everything I do will cause you to worry. Instead, it was me that was stuck in the military camp after the heavy snowfall, worrying about you. I have wanted to return to the capital quickly to see you, but I could not simply leave behind all of the officers. Afterwards, I heard about all the things you did in the capital, and they were even done in the name of the Yu Palace. Truly…” He thought about how he should phrase it, “Un, a girl must be married off when she becomes of age!”

Xuan Tian Ming, you unreasonable man!

She wanted to lose her mind, but was grabbed by the person before her, “Enough messing around. Let’s speak about important matters. My legs… is there any saving them?”

Feng Yu Heng gradually calmed down and turned her attention towards his legs; however, she did not speak for a long time.

Xuan Tian Ming saw that she was a little troubled and could not help but say: “It’s fine. Either way, I have become accustomed to sitting in a wheelchair.”
