Chapter 376 (1/2)

My Wife Must Go Where She Pleases

Xuan Tian Ming’s eyebrows were immediately furrowed together. He simply raised his hand and stopped Feng Yu Heng: “Don’t say anymore.”

She became obstinant and looked at him wide-eyed: “Why do you not let me speak? Is this something that bothers you a great deal? Since the second daughter of the Feng family was set to become engaged to you, I do not believe that you would not have investigated me.”

She said a bunch of things in a single breath; however, Xuan Tian Ming only said: “You’re just speaking in anger.”

“I’m not speaking in anger!” Feng Yu Heng decided to stand up, but for some reason, she became irritated, “Xuan Tian Ming, what exactly did you find out?”

Seeing that he could not avoid speaking on this subject, he could only spread his arms: “What I found out was that you are indeed the Feng family’s second daughter, Feng Yu Heng.”

“I don’t believe you!” She became angry, her small face pouting angrily, “My mother even built up a barrier against me, and she only recognizes Zi Rui as her own child. How could it be that you have found out nothing?”

Xuan Tian Ming was also speechless, “Then what did you hope that I would find out? That you area fake? That you are impersonating her? Then tell me, did you use makeup or were you just born looking exactly like Feng Yu Heng?”

“I…” She stumbled over her words. This was a subject that she could not continue to discuss. From a physiological point of view, no matter how he investigated or checked, she was definitely the second daughter of the Feng family, but… “But did you not think that I changed too much after returning to the capital?”

Xuan Tian Ming shook his head, “No. We will not speak of our occasional meetings when we were young. Just based on the time that we met in the mountains of the Northwest, this is how you are. You dared to climb out of a pile of corpses and throw pebbles at people. You dared to argue with me, and you dared to drop me on the ground because you were tired.”

Very well, he should have begun tracking the changes in her from before she climbed out of that pile of corpses, but at that time, Xuan Tian Ming did not recognize her. Naturally, he did not know how the former Feng Yu Heng should have been.

With a bit of frustration, she sat back down on the bag of sand. Feng Yu Heng casually picked up a branch and began to doodle on the ground, “Xuan Tian Ming, you also saw that just now. In truth, mother loves Zi Rui. She only loves Zi Rui. Of course, she also thinks about me, but in her heart, she only acknowledges Zi Rui as her child. Because I have changed too much, she does not feel close to me.”

He turned his own wheelchair to face her. Reaching out, he grabbed the girl’s small hand. Feng Yu Heng looked up at him and asked seriously: “If there comes a day when you find out that I am not me, what will you do?”

This question was full of mystery; however, Xuan Tian Ming only asked: “Are the you of right now and the you that treated my leg in the mountains of the Northwest the same person?”

She nodded, “Yes, this I can guarantee. I definitely am.”

“Then that’s fine.” He suddenly began to laugh then wave around her hand, saying: “Silly girl, there have never been any feelings between me and the Feng family. In fact, that Feng Jin Yuan was an opponent. For me, whether or not you are the Feng family’s second daughter does not matter to me. Or perhaps, this is even better. All I want is the girl I met in the mountains, who argued with me while earnestly treating my injuries. I don’t care what the previous Feng Yu Heng was like. That is not what I want. I only want you.”

This girl finally revealed a smiling face. It was as though she had won a great prize, as she was like a small white rabbit, leaping up with a smile and circling around him.

“Xuan Tian Ming, your eyes really are great! Un, they really are great!”

Ban Zou had gone away to purchase things and would be away for at least five days. Over these days, Feng Yu Heng dove straight into the Divine Intent Army. Once again, she took care of teaching archery to the divine archery team during the day and teaching tactics to the support team at night. She also freed up some time every day to take care of Yao shi.

Yao shi could be considered an eye-opener for her. At first, she thought that she would not be able to endure the withdrawal symptoms; however, she did not think that just by mentioning Zi Rui, she would be able to grit her teeth and endure for her son. Wang Chuan was worried that she would end up biting her own tongue, so she gave her a wooden stick each time to bite down on. Even if it was a thick stick, three would be chewed through in a single day. It was clear how difficult it was.

These days, Feng Yu Heng had it quite rough. She would frequently fall asleep while sitting in the camp after she finished teaching the support team. The soldiers would secretly start a bonfire near her to provide her with warmth while covering her in a thick coat. Xuan Tian Ming would then stay at her side to keep her company. When she woke up the next day, she found that she was being held in his embrace, and she could feel the warmth of his body. She could even hear the sounds of the soldiers quietly snickering.

On the morning of the sixth day, Xuan Tian ming told her that Ban Zou had returned.

The two went together to look at the equipment that had been purchased. Only then did the find that when Ban Zou left, he had brought along the old man that had wanted to protect his own grandson. The old man was full of energy. Seeing them arrive, he smiled and loudly said: “General, county princess, quickly come and take a look. These were all chosen by this old one, and I can guarantee that they are all the highest quality tools and materials.”

Feng Yu Heng went forward to inspect things. Sure enough, everything was of the highest quality. “Sure enough, a blacksmith who has worked with metal for a lifetime has good eyes.” She sincerely praised him then said to Ban Zou: “Call people over to send these things into Xu Tian Cave.” She then turned to ask Xuan Tian Ming: “How many days until deputy general Qian comes with more people?”

Xuan Tian Ming said: “Ten days, and I fear it may be longer.”

She thought a little then frankly said: “Let’s give it a try first? How about it?”

Xuan Tian Ming’s eyes lit up: “Right now?”
