Chapter 354 (1/2)

“You cannot go!” He finally arrived at the entrance of Pine courtyard. Although he had prepared himself mentally when he saw the ground covered in blood and the headless corpse, even if he was the prime minister, he felt his legs tremble. “A-Heng.” He bit the bullet and desperately tried to convince her, “If you go to the Xiang Palace based only on the words of a servant, that is improper!”

Feng Yu Heng stared at him and asked: “Then what does father believe is proper?”

Feng Jin Yuan pondered a little then tried to say: “Mei Xiang has already died. You were a little too harsh with your punishment. Now there is no evidence one way or the other. Even if you went, if he denies it, what can you do?”

Feng Yu Heng suddenly laughed, “Father, who said that I wanted him to admit to anything? I am just going to return the woman that he was raising in the Feng manor.”

“Hah, what woman. Don’t listen to that servant’s nonsense!” Feng Jin Yuan stomped his feet and went to grab Feng Yu Heng. At the same time, he said: “Listen to father and quickly go back. Father will definitely get the best doctor in the world to take a look at your mother’s illness and will definitely get the best medicine in the world to treat her. Don’t worry, father will do as father said! Father…”

Crack!

The whip cracked, and who knew that Feng Yu Heng would actually whip Feng Jin Yuan. Although this did not break the skin, it did cause the Winter coat to become torn. Feng Jin Yuan felt his arm hurt so much that he could not raise it.

“You-” He glared at Feng Yu Heng in horror. He wanted to say that a child hitting their father would be struck down by lightning! But when he looked up, he found that the skies were clear, and the sun was shining down. There was no possibility of lightning.

“I will tell you-” Feng Yu Heng fiercely said: “I am the best doctor in the world. I have the best medicine in the world, but I still cannot cure my mother. Feng Jin Yuan! Put away the word “father.” You truly do not deserve to be called a father! Today, I will definitely be going to the Xiang Palace. If you so desire, you can come to take a look. If you are afraid, just obediently stay in the manor like a scared turtle. I will say it again. Anyone that dares to touch my mother, I will definitely tear their heads off!”

Once she said this, she waved to the guards then turned and left.

Feng Jin Yuan held his arm and stood in place. In his mind, he repeatedly wondered if he should go or not.

If he went, would the third prince believe that he was going with Feng Yu Heng to accuse him?

If he did not go, if that girl caused too grand of a scene, how should he handle it? After all, to outsiders, that was his Feng manor’s daughter!

Feng Jin Yuan was extremely troubled, but Kang Yi said: “Husband, quickly go and take a look. A-Heng is still holding her whip!”

These words reminded Feng Jin Yuan. In the worst case scenario, that girl would go fight to the death at the Xiang Palace. If someone truly lost their life, regardless of which side, he could not bear that responsibility!

If the prince died, that would be a big problem. If Feng Yu Heng died, there would be nobody to produce steel, and that would be an even bigger problem!

Stomping his feet, he went to follow them.

When he arrived at the gate, the gatekeeper told him: “Second young miss’ group left on horseback. At this time, they should have already traveled a few blocks.”

The driver cracked his whip, and the horses flew straight toward the Xiang Palace. Feng Jin Yuan, however, trembled out of habit upon hearing the sound of the whip.

When they arrived, Feng Yu Heng’s group had already arrived for quite some time. He saw her order someone bring the corpse forward and place it in front of the Xiang Palace’s gate. She then said to the guards that stood in front of the Xiang Palace: “Go tell your prince that the woman he was raising outside has died. This county princess has come to return her corpse.”

The Xiang Palace’s guards were startled. One of them went into the palace to report, while the other stood outside and stared at the headless corpse, a cold filling his heart.

Not long later, the third prince, Xuan Tian Ye personally came out of the palace. Still having an angry expression, it was as though he was surrounded by countless ghosts that had died unjust deaths. As a whole, he looked very gloomy.

Well before he heard about county princess Ji An’s arrival, he knew what had happened. None of the people that he had sent out to kill Mei Xiang returned alive. Not only was this the case, the place where Mei Xiang’s family had been buried was dug up. All four corpses had disappeared.

Despite all of his preparation to protect himself, he had protected himself against Feng Yu Heng attacking during the night and against Xuan Tian Ming setting fire to his palace; however, he did not think that Feng Yu Heng would not attack in secret. Instead, she openly carried the corpse all the way to the Xiang Palace’s gate.

What exactly did this woman want to do? Could it be that she really believed that she had the power to compete with a prince?

Thinking of this, Xuan Tian Ye was not too optimistic. As an opponent, he understood Feng Yu Heng. This girl was indeed just as arrogant as Xuan Tian Ming, but she did not act as blindly. Since she dared to come so openly, who knew what sort of trap she had dug for him to fall into.

Xuan Tian Ye’s brow twitched uncontrollably a few times, as a bad premonition filled his heart.

Just as he stepped out of the palace, he saw Feng Yu Heng looking at him with her elegant face. That face was inexplicably pure. Although there were a few spots of blood, she still looked as though she was a very pure jade. There were absolutely no impurities.

Mei Xiang’s corpse lay at Xuan Tian Ye’s feet, but he did not even take a look at her, as he looked right back at Feng Yu Heng.

The civilians that were looking on had already been pushed back by the guards. The two looked at each other like this for a long time until the people of the Feng family and the Xiang Palace could no longer endure watching the two look at each other icily. At this time, Xuan Tian Ye suddenly shifted his gaze. With a bit of panic from not wanting to be found out, he looked off into the distance. He required five breaths to regain his composure.
