iChapter 759 - Give Her a Chance to Find a Father (1/2)
Yao shi and Feng Jin Yuan had gone missing. This news caused Feng Yu Heng to freeze, but she very quickly understood. She returned to her room with a heavy expression. Qing Yu, Wang Chuan, Huang Quan and Ban Zou were all present, and they were all looking at her, waiting for her orders. But they just stared at their master for a long time without seeing Feng Yu Heng have any sort of reaction. Huang Quan could no longer endure and asked: “Young Miss, what should be done?”
Only then did Feng Yu Heng recover and ask: “What can be done?”
Huang Quan was puzzled, while Ban Zou and Wang Chuan frowned. It was Qing Yu that spoke up, saying: “News of their disappearance came two days ago, with people saying that Madam Yao was no longer in that courtyard. But apparently, she actually disappeared three days ago. Because we removed our hidden guards from that courtyard, the information did not travel as smoothly. Speaking of, the disappearance saw movement from the Yao family’s side first. Following that, the hidden guard that we stationed in the Feng residence to keep an eye on the young master also reported that Feng Jin Yuan also disappeared. Up until Young Miss returned, the two are still missing.”
“Missing is missing, but how did those two end up together?” Huang Quan was completely stumped, “Those two people aren’t even close! Aren’t they enemies? Or perhaps… their disappearances were coincidences and are unrelated?”
Wang Chuan, however, snorted coldly, “How could there be so many coincidences? As I see it, they’re just working together.” After saying this, she asked Feng Yu Heng: “Young Miss, what should be done about this? Should we concern ourselves with it? If the two were plotting a scheme together, that would be a small matter, but if they are captured by another group…”
“You’re worried that Feng Jin Yuan will kidnap Madam Yao?” Huang Quan waved her fist around, “Not to mention Feng Jin Yuan not having the courage or ability, even if he did, that would just serve Madam Yao right. Our young miss has already cut ties with her. Whoever wants to kidnap her can kidnap her. Young Miss, we don’t care about it. This servant will immediately go and prepare a bath for you. You should get a night of good sleep, and the matters outside can go as they want. It’s completely unrelated to us.”
Wang Chuan stomped her foot and stopped Huang Quan before advising Feng Yu Heng: “Young Miss, don’t listen to Huang Quan. This matter needs to be thought about carefully. As this servant sees it, could it be related to Noble Lady Yuan?”
When Wang Chuan’s words came out, Feng Yu Heng finally let out a smile then praised: “Someone has finally shown some progress. If the situation is indeed true, with the two disappearing at the same time, it’s very likely that they were secretly sent to the South by Noble Lady Yuan in order to meet up with Fu Ya. Or perhaps they will meet along the way before they even get to the South.”
“Should we give chase?” Ban Zou asked her, but after thinking for a bit, he shook his head: “It’s already too late to give chase. After so many days, who knows just how far they’ve gotten. Although there is only one official road from the capital to the South, there are quite a few smaller paths. There’s not much that we can do.”
“We won’t give chase. What’s there to chase?” Feng Yu Heng shrugged. Receiving a cup of tea that had just been brought in by a servant, she took a sip then said: “Noble Lady Yuan is trying to create a false image of having Imperial Daughter Ji An make an appearance in the South. It’s natural that she will need to make sure that the play is acted out fully. How could having just Fu Ya be enough? To make people believe it, Imperial Daughter Ji An still has not gotten married yet. She alone would not be able to handle the situation. If her father and mother are also brought along, Feng Jin Yuan and Yao shi being out there would make things clear. That would be a truly grand play. Only like that can Fu Ya’s identity feel more appropriate.”
“Since it’s like that, why do we not give chase?” Huang Quan was exceedingly puzzled, “Young Miss, you’ve already analyzed what sort of effects would happen in the South, so why not send people to give chase? If one person alone can’t catch up, just send two. We have enough people, so we can just send some more people. Just send them down every path. Even if they have already reached the South, they can think of something to bring them back. We can’t just leave them to develop their strength!”
Huang Quan’s question also brought out the thoughts of the others. In regards to Feng Yu Heng’s decision not to give chase, even Qing Yu and Wang Chuan could not understand.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: “Don’t panic. I already said it before. Fu Ya’s days in the South will not be that quiet.” After she finished speaking, she asked Ban Zou, “Has Hundred Herb Hall been informed?”
Ban Zou nodded, “The order has been informed. Our information posts have been put to use. The speed at which Hundred Herb Hall can send information is very high.”
Feng Yu Heng let out an “un” sound then said: “Aside from this, the reason that I chose not to give chase is that someone will give chase for us.”
“Who?” Everyone voiced this question in unison.
Feng Yu Heng replied: “Feng Fen Dai! Think about it. Feng Jin Yuan and Yao shi, along with Fu Ya, this sort of amazing family of three is heading to the South. Who will they be helping? It’s clear that it’s the eighth prince! But what about Feng Fen Dai? She is the fifth prince’s future official princess. All of her plans and ideas rest on the fifth prince. This includes the collaboration with Noble Lady Li. All of this is for the sake of paving a road for the fifth prince’s success. But Feng Jin Yuan, as her father, ran to the South at this critical juncture to help the eighth prince. He joined back up with Yao shi. Say, based on Feng Fen Dai’s personality, would she not go crazy?”
“She would definitely go crazy.” Huang Quan understood at this point, “Young Miss means that Feng Fen Dai will definitely have the fifth prince send someone to chase them down? But how could she know where Feng Jin Yuan went?”
“Stupid.” Ban Zou rolled his eyes at her, “We just need to find a chance to leak it out to her.”
“That’s true.” Huang Quan accepted the scolding, “Then Young Miss won’t need to worry about this matter. The matter of spreading this information can be left to us. We can guarantee that Feng Fen Dai will head South tomorrow to give chase. Regardless of whether or not she catches up, with that young miss causing a fuss, the South will not be so peaceful.”
