Chapter 263 (2/2)

Yi Lin completely despaired. She was unable to beat Feng Yu Heng in a battle of wits. This second young miss might even be able to make black sound white. When had she been thrown from the carriage in order to save eldest young miss? She had clearly bounced out on her own! But if she insisted on saying it, there was nothing she could do. After all, aside from Feng Chen Yu, nobody else present would speak up for her. But now, Feng Chen Yu…. absolutely could not die!

It was Feng Yu Heng’s final words that reminded her. If anything were to happen to Feng Chen Yu, the first to die would be herself! Thinking of this, the young servant immediately found strength. Without worrying about something like a young miss’ status, she just pulled Chen Yu by the arm and dragged her along the ground. Whether alive or dead, she would pull her to the side of the carriage. She then climbed into the carriage first then dragged Chen Yu into the carriage as though she were a dead dog.

Just as Chen Yu’s feet left the ground, the driver raised his whip and set the horse in motion.

Yi Lin was thrown in, and, fortunately, Chen Yu was thrown into the carriage. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was very subdued. Feng Yu Heng closed her eyes to rest. Huang Quan’s eyes were like knives, staring straight at Yi Lin. Zi Rui had fallen asleep while being hugged by Feng Yu Heng, and Qing Yu was trembling while wearing a coat provided by Ban Zou.

Yi Lin did not even dare breathe heavily, as she hugged Chen Yu’s head. In her heart, she hoped that the horse could run faster, so they could return to the Feng manor a little faster.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the Feng manor, and Yi Lin practically rushed out immediately. The moment she got out of the carriage, she shouted: “Eldest young miss was injured! Quickly come help!”

There were many servants in the Feng family, and this shout caused many to come over. The male servants did not go forward, but the maidservants and grannies did not worry about such things. In a flurry of action, they pulled her out of the carriage.

At this time, Chen Yu had already started to wake up, but she was still dazed and could not understand what was happening. She only felt that she was being carried by some people, and there was someone shouting: “Eldest young miss, you must endure! We have already gone to invite a doctor.”

Her mind groaned, as a pain finally surged forth.

Thinking about it, she had been bitten by a goshawk!

Once this memory surfaced, she immediately wanted to bring her hand up to feel her head. This scared Yi Lin, who immediately grabbed her hand: “Young miss, you must not wipe at it. The wound is still bleeding. When the doctor arrives in a bit, it will be fine. Young miss, just endure a little longer.”

“What do I need to endure?” She suddenly began shrieking, “Why does my head hurt like this? Where exactly have I been injured? Where did that hawk bite me?”

She shouted herself hoarse, and her miserable voice was heard by the entire Feng manor. Many maidservants and grannies held her down, fearing that she would jump up. This continued the entire way before finally sending her back to her room.

Yi Lin repeatedly advised Chen Yu: “Young miss, you absolutely must not move around. If you touch the wound, it would not be good if it left a scar.”

After having been consoled endlessly, Chen Yu’s mood finally began to stabilize, but the servants who had carried her back began to admire Yi Lin. Wasn’t this just nonsense? The flesh had already been lost, so how could there not be a scar?

Feng Yu Heng was holding Zi Rui’s hand and watching this scene. Zi Rui had spent a few months in Xiao Zhou and had gained quite a bit of knowledge. Faced with this sort of scene, he was not at all able to remain unmoved. The hand that Feng Yu Heng held was sweating slightly, but he did not reveal any expression on his face.

Because there were many people in the room, Yi Lin took responsibility and chased some people out. Seeing Feng Yu Heng and Zi Rui still standing there, she did not know whether she should invite them in or have them go back first.

Fortunately, she was not left in this awkward situation for too long. The matriarch had come in with the help of granny Zhao. Behind her were Fen Dai and Han shi, but when Fen Dai saw Feng Chen Yu’s appearance, she was so disgusted that she nearly vomited. Pushing Han shi, she quickly left. The matriarch did not approve of Han shi getting close either, saying to Fen Dai: “Quickly take her out of here. It is not good to look at such things while pregnant.”

In truth, the matriarch did not dare look either. Chen Yu’s appearance was too frightening. A chunk of flesh was missing from her head. No matter how beautiful she was, she now looked like some sort of ghoul.

Feng Yu Heng led Zi Rui forward, telling Zi Rui to quickly pay respects to grandmother.

Zi Rui obediently knelt on the ground then kowtowed, saying: “Zi Rui pays respects to grandmother. It has been many months since we last saw each other. Is grandmother’s body still well?”

Only then did the matriarch see Zi Rui and was completely shocked. SHe did not know when Zi Rui would be returning to the capital, and she thought it would still be another two days. She did not think that this child would suddenly appear before her, nor that he would be so courteous and understanding.

“Good child, stand up.” The matriarch finally put on a smile.

Zi Rui listened and stood up. Feng Yu Heng then said: “You should also go greet and pay respects to eldest sister. Eldest sister was very worried about you. She even brought a new set of clothes for you to Tong Sheng pavilion. She also brought grandmother’s earnest teachings.”

The matriarch did not understand, “What earnest teachings?”
