Chapter 727 - Severing Ties (2/2)
Xuan Tian Hua was helpless, “I thought that your mood would be quite bad from handling this matter.”
“And after that?”
“Reality provided that it does not appear to be the case.” Xuan Tian Hua laughed and pinched Feng Yu Heng’s face, “But I can be at ease with you like this.”
Feng Yu Heng, however, suddenly recalled a matter, thus she said to Xuan Tian Hua: “Seventh brother, wait for me here.” After saying this, she turned back and headed toward the courtyard. When she came out, she was pulling along the maidservant Tian Qing. “You can go back.” She said to Tian Qing, “Thank aunty Lan for me. Say that I will go to the palace later on to visit her.”
Tian Qing was a bit startled, “But Imperial Daughter, the princess told this servant to keep an on eye Fu Ya.”
“No need.” Feng Yu Heng faintly smiled while shaking her head, “When looking, what matters is the mind, not the eyes. But Yao shi insists on only using her eyes to look at this world, thus there is nothing that I can do. Go back and tell aunty Lan that they want to cause their own demise, and nobody can stop them. Also, what I just said in there was the truth. You can tell aunty Lan about it. I know that aunty Lan grew up with Yao shi, and perhaps aunty Lan will be unhappy with me doing things this way and will blame me, but you also saw it. I didn’t have any other choice. Faced with that sort of mother, if I continued to acknowledge her, it would only cause her more harm.”
Tian Qing also felt helpless and could only nod then bow and depart. Only when she was further away did Xuan Tian Hua gently advise her: “You’re clearly unwilling, right?”
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, “What of it? I am Imperial Daughter Ji An. You’ve seen Imperial Daughter Ji An ride horses and shoot arrows. When have you ever seen Imperial Daughter Ji An get overly emotional?”
“Have you not?” Xuan Tian Hua thought for a bit then shook his head, “There clearly was, but you do not admit it while choosing to forget about it. It clearly is not that easy, yet you deliberately put on airs. With you like this… Ming’er will be sad.” He looked away, as his heart began to hurt for no apparent reason. It was not just Ming’er that would be saddened, he would also be. It was just that he could only keep this feeling in his chest. He could not give voice to it, much less express it.
“You just need to not tell him!” Feng Yu Heng was all smiles, as she used this smile to cover up the pain in her eyes. “I endured these kinds of days in the past, but I won’t in the future. The people here do not have a shred of relation to me. I will not cry for her, nor will I smile. No matter what sort of hardship befalls her, she will no longer be able to find me. Regardless of what happens to her, I will not extend a helping hand to her. Isn’t this very good? In my life, a burden has been lifted. In the future, there will be a day when I will not need to worry about anyone trying to get revenge on her because I offended someone or caused a big problem. Severing the mother-daughter bond with Yao shi, this is something that I must make public to the world.”
She happily walked forward and casually raised her arms above her head. It looked like she was very happy and pleased; however, Xuan Tian Hua knew that cutting off ties with Yao shi was the best way to protect Yao shi, even if Feng Yu Heng made it sound very heartless. The current Da Shun was not stable, and there were many hidden dangers. Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tian Ming were together, which meant that the days to come would be turbulent. That girl was afraid that Yao shi would be drugged like before. If she wanted to prevent such a thing from happening, what she had done was definitely the best.
“Heng Heng.” He chased after her and thought for a long time but could only say one thing: “It’s good if you can be at ease.”
At this time, Feng Yu Heng had already regained her usual disposition. She no longer smiled foolishly, and she no longer looked as fierce as she did in that courtyard. She also did not speak about trivial things. She had already begun handling official matters. She stopped in her tracks and called into the air: “Ban Zou.”
A person’s figure immediately appeared.
“You stay here and personally keep an eye on Fu Ya.”
Ban Zou nodded and disappeared once more.
Only then did Feng Yu Heng look toward Xuan Tian Hua and seriously say to him: “In the coming days, I fear that Fu Ya will make use of that face. Don’t be curious as to why I did not ruin her face with my whip. To ruin it from the very start, it truly would be too much of a pity. We will keep her around and see just what path she plans to take. We’ll see just who she decides to choose. At the same time, the one that she chooses will be the big fish that we aim to catch!”
