Chapter 350 (2/2)

Kang Yi was startled then immediately said: “That’s not what I mean. I naturally trust that you can treat her well. I just want to help you.”

“No need.” Feng Yu Heng smirked, “The things mother is thinking of doing are written all over your face. I am not an idiot. How could I not see it.” She said this while glancing at the matriarch, “I understand all of your thoughts. Forget it. I will not bother exposing it. If you have the ability, go and do whatever you want. This is perfect. We can compare and see whose servants are more reliable.”

Kang Yi was extremely embarrassed by what she had said. She had indeed seen through what the matriarch was thinking. She wanted to quickly leave the room to inform her servants to stop the escaping Mei Xiang. Only with Mei Xiang dying could this matter die down without any witnesses. Feng Yu Heng would also have no way of blaming the Feng family.

Unfortunately, she did not think that this girl would be so sharp and so clear-minded.

She naturally could not express this and could only helplessly say: “I really do not have any other thoughts. I was just thinking that there are no other adults over here at your side, and I am worried that there will not be anoyne here to help you. But since A-Heng can handle it on your own, I will not disrupt you.”

After saying this, Kang Yi helped the matriarch and led everyone out.

For a while, aside from Tong Sheng pavilion’s servants, only An shi and her daughter remained in the room.

An shi and Xiang Rong’s servants both went to find Mei Xiang. At this moment, they still had not returned. Wang Chuan saw both of them still kneeling then looked at Feng Yu Heng. Seeing her nod, she went to help the two sit in chairs.

An shi’s heart was flustered. Xiang Rong was also flustered. The two would look out the window from time to time, waiting for the two servants to return.

Feng Yu Heng tried to perform some acupuncture for Yao shi. Although it would not have much effect, it could slightly provide some relief from the suffering brought about by the addiction. Yao shi was still unconscious, but her brow was furrowed tightly. It was clear that she was not very stable.

“Ban Zou!” Feng Yu Heng suddenly raised her head and called out. A figure immediately appeared from the air, scaring An shi and Xiang Rong. “Send out some of the hidden guards sent by his Highness the ninth prince and his Highness the seventh prince. If I have not misunderstood, Mei Xiang is definitely no longer in the Feng manor.”

Ban Zou nodded: “I will have a group go give chase outside the capital and leave another group to search around the capital. In such a short period of time, she cannot have run very far. We cannot only worry about chasing outside and forget about simple hiding.” After saying this, he did not wait for Feng Yu Heng to say anything else. Disappearing in a flash, he could no longer be seen.

An shi’s heart was also suffering. With this sort of expert here in Tong Sheng pavilion, it would be very difficult for anyone to do anything. But because Yao shi trusted her, she would eat the food that was sent over without ever suspecting anything. Who knew that it was this trust that caused Yao shi to become like this.

The more An shi thought about it, the sadder she became. At this time, the two servants had returned. Feng Yu Heng’s expectations were correct. The news that they had brought back was: “Mei Xiang is already missing. These servants searched the entire courtyard but could not find a single trace of her.”

Huang Quan anxiously asked: “Did you go inquire with the guards at the front entrance?”

One of the servants replied: “We went to ask. They said that master left in the morning to attend court. After that only people in charge of buying necessities have left the manor. They did not see any of concubine mother An’s servants.”

An shi once again began crying, as she said to Feng Yu Heng: “It is all this concubine’s fault. This concubine has mistreated elder sister Yao’s trust. Second young miss, if you have any anger, just vent it on this concubine. This concubine is willing to accept anything.”

Feng Yu Heng did not speak, but Wang Chuan did: “Concubine mother An, stop saying such things. They will cause young miss to feel upset. Right now, the most important thing is to treat madam’s illness. We have already dispatched people to chase after Mei Xiang. Right and wrong are clearly distinguished. Sooner or later, the day will come when the truth is revealed.”

Feng Yu Heng also sighed then turned her head: “You should go back first. Before this matter is resolved clearly, I will not assign any blame. I have already said it. There are not many people that I am close to in this manor, but I will not be merciful because of these feelings. If it is discovered that you are unrelated to this, then everything will be easy to resolve. But if you are involved, do not blame me for lacking in mercy.”

Xiang Rong quickly stood up to give her a guarantee: “Second sister, if it does turn up that we are involved to this matter, concubine mother and I definitely will not try to escape responsibility. Even if we are unrelated, the pastries came from us. We still will not try to avoid punishment.”

Feng Yu Heng waved her hand. She did not have the heart to say anything. The two saw that she was indeed exhausted physically and mentally. If something like that had happened, it was improper for them to remain and provide help. They could only get up and bid farewell, thinking of how they would try to find that Mei Xiang.

After the matriarch returned to Shu Ya courtyard, she immediately said that she wanted to rest. Kang Yi left on her own, but as soon as Kang Yi left, she hastily said to granny Zhao: “Send someone to wait at the entrance of the manor. Once Jin Yuan has returned, have him come here immediately! Go quickly.”
