zChapter 925 - Become Even Closer and Become Even Happier (2/2)
She looked toward Yao Xian and raised an eyebrow, asking: “Grandfather, why don’t you teach them? You know all the things that I know!”
Who knew that Yao Xian did not avoid it at all, directly saying: “These little ones don’t have faith in me. They only have faith in you, believing that what you have a grasp of is the source, while I learned it from you. They said that if they were to learn, they would want to learn it first hand and not second hand from me.”
Very well! She smiled bitterly, telling Yao An and the others: “In truth, grandfather’s medical abilities can only be said to be equal or better than mine. They definitely are not worse. It’s just that I spread the use of these techniques. But if you want to learn, that’s obviously a good thing. The Yao family has its foundations as divine doctors. There needs to be someone to join the family business. For cousins to have these aspirations, I am truly happy.”
“Then younger sister Heng has agreed to teach us?” The three were so moved that they immediately kowtowed and saluted her, scaring Feng Yu Heng into stopping them: “We’re family. What’s with the formality?” She then turned her head and said to Yao Xian: “I had been wanting to discuss opening a medical school with grandfather. It would specifically teach the new style of medicine that I know. Of course, the people that can join this school need to have their backgrounds clearly investigated back eight generations. There absolutely must not be anyone with ulterior motives allowed to join. Since you want to learn, it would be better to arrange for that school to be built first. Hundred Herb Hall needs a large number of doctors. No matter how many there are, there are never enough. How about my three cousins help take care of management?”
Yao An and the others heard this and were very moved, immediately agreeing to it. Whether it be Yao Xian or the three aunts and uncles of the Yao family, upon seeing that there were finally people in the Yao family wanting to take up medicine, they finally let out sighs of relief.
With the happy and joyous matters out of the way, the matter that Feng Yu Heng had struggled to bring up was still something that needed to be brought up. It was related to Yao shi. She began, but Xuan Tian Ming interjected and said: “In the end, it was a result of this prince’s order that Madam Yao died. For this, I am truly sorry to the Yao family.”
When Yao shi was mentioned, the family banquet fell silent. The members of the Yao family put away their joyous expressions and began to sigh. After a while, Yao Xian spoke up: “A-Heng already wrote about this matter in a letter. Qian Rou is my daughter. For the white-haired person to send off the black-haired person*, as a father, I am indeed quite saddened. But the things that she did and the way she acted over the past couple years are something that we have all seen, especially when she was actually muddled enough to go South with Feng Jin Yuan and that vile girl! On the day that she left, I no longer recognized her as my daughter. That’s why everything that she ran into and her final demise is a result that she sought herself. Nobody in our Yao family has any complaints. In truth, it was I, as a father, that failed in teaching that daughter, and this caused you a lot of trouble. Your Highness the ninth prince, there’s no need to say that you are sorry to the Yao family. If a discussion about this matter really is to begin, it’s the Yao family that is sorry to Your Highness.”
Yao Jing Jun also said: “That’s right. Younger sister passed away, and we are saddened, but the Yao family is a reasonable one. We definitely could not do something that goes against our conscience and ignore scoundrelly deeds.” As he spoke, he looked at Yao Xian and continued: “Father, there’s no need to self-criticize. At the root of this, the blame should be placed on the Feng family. Before younger sister got married, she was not like that. It all happened after she spent years married into the Feng family that her entire person was broken by the Feng family’s twisted ways. It was because of that that she became twisted. As for the Feng family, it has also suffered the retribution that it deserved. For this matter… just let it pass!”
The magnanimity of the Yao family caused Xuan Tian Ming to feel emotional. Speaking of, he felt intrigued and a bit of envious of the sort of family that the Yao family had. Where would there be any intimacy in the imperial family? Where would there be any trace of brothers respecting each other? He never believed that a large family could produce such a harmonious scene until the Yao family appeared, and he came to know more about the Yao family. There was nobody that could resist this sort of family. Even if he was a prince, he was very envious of this, and he even rejoiced that this was Feng Yu Heng’s maternal family. Now, they were related to him.
A certain person thought about things like how great the Yao family was, but it must not be destroyed by an outside influence. The situation with Yao Shu and Lu Yao had already been quite awkward. The remaining five must not be harmed by those with such intentions. Thus he began to ponder such things. He also had a younger sister. If Tian Ge was married into the Yao family, they would become even closer, and everyone would be happy with it, right?
Nobody knew what Xuan Tian Ming was thinking, and this included Feng Yu Heng. She did not even have the heart to think about it. Her entire body was sore. At this moment, she was thinking that she would simply go and sleep inside her space. That would save her from sleeping in the wolf’s den and getting eaten. If they went at it again, she really would collapse!
A certain person pitifully looked at the “husband” beside her. As for whether or not she would be spared was something that she could not grasp for certain!
Marriage, marriage really was something “damaging to the body…”
