zChapter 799 - Who Is Truly Rich (2/2)
Feng Yu Heng left the palace using a different route, passing directly through the mountain and leaving through the back. The hidden guards that were in front of the mountain stood guard until daybreak and never again saw the figure in black clothes.
When Feng Yu Heng returned to the imperial daughter’s manor, it was after 4 AM. Just as she reached the entrance, she had been snatched out of mid-air by Ban Zou, who had been waiting there. He then brought her directly back to her courtyard. Suddenly being caught caused her to break into a cold sweat all over her body in shock, but after discovering that it was Ban Zou, she accepted her fate and obediently allowed him to drag her back by her collar. She was like a chick being carried back to her yard.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were both pacing back and forth in the courtyard with anxious looks on their faces. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng return, they both surrounded her and wanted to ask her a few questions; however, they heard her say: “This imperial daughter is very tired and wants to sleep.”
Huang Quan stomped her foot: “Hah, Young Miss!”
However, she was stopped by Wang Chuan, “Young Miss is already very tired. If you have anything, wait until tomorrow to ask.”
Huang Quan accepted it very quickly and followed Wang Chuan to quickly prepare water for Feng Yu Heng to get washed up. This left Ban Zou standing alone in the yard, as he angrily gritted his teeth. But there was nothing that he could do. After all, that was their master. Also, she had returned without a single scratch. What did this mean? It meant that in terms of physical qinggong, his master was indeed stronger than him. Also, she was not just a bit stronger, she was far stronger. She was strong to the point that he could not even find her. Since he was inferior to her, what was there that he could say? Ban Zou angrily returned to his own room and went to sleep. He would be going on strike tonight!
The two servants finally took care of getting Feng Yu Heng to bed and also left. Exchanging a glance, they helplessly shook their heads and returned to their own rooms to sleep. Feng Yu Heng did not like having someone keep watch overnight; moreover, they were not accustomed to doing it. Was there not Ban Zou hiding in the shadows? It was fine. However, who knew that as Ban Zou was throwing his tantrum, he remembered that he ought to report to the Yu Palace, thus he quickly got up and headed toward the Yu Palace.
But there was nobody keeping watch on her. To Feng Yu Heng, this had no effect, and she preferred having nobody keep an eye on her. Like this, she could enter her space without any concerns. She had just obtained a great deal of wealth, and she needed to take a look. She would not waste that trip spent on tenterhooks.
She entered her space and did not appear to be tired. She opened up all of the chests, and even the ones that had been stacked up were moved around with the use of her consciousness. Fortunately, she could still use her consciousness inside the space, thus she would not need to act personally, allowing her to save a great deal of energy.
It had to be said that there was not much of a feeling of shock from the wooden chests. With them being opened up, especially when all of the chests were opened at the same time, even Feng Yu Heng felt a little short of breath. It even caused her to feel a little dizzy. Of course, she knew that this dizziness was not because there was poison in the chests. Instead, she… was a country bumpkin that had entered the city! This was too fucking eye-opening! Entire chests were filled with gold and silver. Entire chests were filled with extremely valuable gems. They glimmered with light that nearly blinded her!
Laying on the chests filled with treasures in a slovenly manner, Feng Yu Heng repeatedly sighed: “Too rich! Really too rich!” This was still just the Sheng Palace located in the capital. The eighth prince had lived in the South for so many years. The small court that had been built there was equivalent to his residence in the South. There should be even more hidden there, right? Should she secretly head South and also clean out that treasury? Just thinking about it was fun. Stealing things was too invigorating. Especially when it was this sort of thing, it was even more invigorating! Teach you to sell your country, teach you to do evil and teach you to dream of usurping the throne! This grandaunty took liberties with your den. This grandaunty cleaned out your treasure vault, so you can just cough up blood!
From the time she got back to daybreak, Feng Yu Heng stayed inside her space. Laying on the pile of gems, she fell asleep until she heard the sound of Huang Quan knocking on the door. Only then did she drowsily reply and react to the fact that she was inside her space. Quickly coming out, she quickly changed into her pajamas then dove under her blanket. She then called out: “Come in!”
Huang Quan pushed the door and entered: “Young Miss, it’s time to get up. You said that you would go to the Lu manor today.”
Feng Yu Heng held her head in pain. She had not slept enough.
Huang Quan called another two times. Seeing that she would not get up, she walked over and pushed the curtain aside. Seeing that her young miss was sleeping peacefully, she did not continue to call her to get up. Either way, the Lu manor was not a major issue. Lu Yan getting poisoned was fine. Who cared if she died. Her young miss getting enough sleep was most important. Thus the servant left and went to find Wang Chuan and Ban Zou to analyze what exactly their young miss had done the previous night.
Feng Yu Heng slept all the way until noon, and it was hunger that woke her up. When she sat up, she muttered to herself: “Going out at night makes it easy to get hungry!” She then called her maidservants in to help her get washed up.
The person that entered was Huang Quan once more. While watching her brush her teeth, she said to her: “The people from the Lu manor really are impatient. They came at 9 AM and said something like imperial daughter promised our madam that she would come to our manor today, and this servant came to pick up imperial daughter. Tsk! What are they! They begged us to visit and are anxious to that extent. This servant just told her to wait. Whenever imperial daughter gets up, it will be discussed at that time. The servant anxiously paced around the front yard for the entire morning and has cried multiple times.”
The people of the imperial daughter’s manor did not have much of a good impression of the Lu family. Feng Yu Heng agreed because she wanted to see why Lu Yan would end up getting poisoned at this critical juncture. She had definitely been plotted against, and she needed to know the culprit to prepare her defenses.
But she was in no rush. After washing up, she ate a good breakfast before changing her clothes and left the manor with her two maidservants. The Lu family’s maidservant also followed them out while crying. Seeing Feng Yu Heng climb into her imperial carriage, she climbed into the Lu family’s carriage and followed closely behind.
When Feng Yu Heng arrived at the Lu manor, she could smell a large amount of medicine upon setting foot inside the front yard. Madam Lu, Ge shi, personally stood at the entrance to receive her, and her forehead was soaked with sweat. She did not have a good appearance, and it was clear that she had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng’s imperial carriage arrive, she immediately kneeled on the ground and loudly cried: “This wife welcomes imperial daughter!”
