zChapter 964 - A Different Goal (1/2)
A Different Goal
Feng Yuheng felt that she truly had miscalculated! If it was not for having escaped for a few days and allowing that hungry wolf to do as he pleased every day, he most likely would not have been so ferocious. Sure enough, men could not be allowed to become pent up. If they were left alone for too long, the one to suffer would still be the girl.
She lay on the bed and looked at the luminescent pearl hanging above her. She just thought that she would have that pearl taken down later. It was too bright at night, and it was such that the wolf was able to see everything. It was a feast for the eyes and mouth, and the one to suffer was still her.
She tried moving a bit but found that her entire body was in extreme pain. She was still feeling completely powerless. Thinking about it, she did not even eat lunch. At this moment, she was really hungry! Thus she gritted her teeth and sat up in bed. Enduring the pain, she put on some clothes before weakly calling for Huang Quan.
Huang Quan, who had been outside, quickly pushed the door open and entered. While walking over to her side, she said: “Young miss has finally let this servant come in. If you still didn’t let this servant in, His Highness would be back in a little while!”
She trembled, “Saying something so inauspicious!”
Huang Quan rolled her eyes, “This servant is unable to stop His Highness returning home! That’s why young miss should get up! This servant had the kitchen prepare quite a few foods that are good for you. Young miss, eat a bit. In any case, recover some of the energy that was expended in preparation for another battle!”
Fuck!
Feng Yuheng facepalmed. What was this damn servant saying?
She really wanted to chase this girl out, but she was extremely hungry. There was nothing that she could do. In the end, she could only come to terms with the fact that she was hungry.
Today, Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua had both left the city to reorganize the 30 thousand troops belonging to the sixth prince, thus they would be returning a bit later. Huang Quan accompanied her in her room and ate with her. While eating, she said: “A report came saying that Feng Fendai is taking very good care of Xiao Bao, and they moved into one of the fifth prince’s other residences. Apparently, that residence has been furnished very brilliantly, and it’s the residence that the fifth prince pays most attention to.”
Feng Yuheng had no desire to concern herself with this sort of thing. She just felt a little more at ease upon hearing that Xiao Bao was being taken care of. She said: “Everyone has their own fate. That child is Han shi’s, and Fendai is his only relative. That is his lot in life. I can help once or twice but can’t help forever. Fendai wanted to take him away, and nobody could stop her.”
“In truth, young miss hoped that fourth young miss Feng would take him away, right?” Huang Quan was already very capable of analyzing Feng Yuheng’s thoughts. She probed a bit: “Was young miss hoping that having a younger brother at her side would cause some change in fourth young miss Feng?”
Feng Yuheng nodded and very happily said: “Indeed, I was hoping that having Xiao Bao would bring about some change in Fendai’s temper and personality. But I also felt that it was quite hard! When it comes to personality, there is more than just one’s nature. What’s more important is how they are raised. She was raised in an environment like the Feng manor’s. In order for her to not become twisted would be very difficult. In addition to this, Han shi was not someone with an education. Starting from a young age, she did not have any good influences around her. That’s why I figure that it’s too naive to think that just having Xiao Bao at her side will change her.”
“Then will something happen to Xiao Bao if he stays at her side?” Huang Quan began to worry, “What if there comes a day when she loses patience and goes crazy? Will she mistreat that child?”
Feng Yuheng, however, replied by repeating herself: “Didn’t I already say it? That would just be Xiao Bao’s fate!”
As the two spoke, a young maidservant’s voice came from the outside, reporting: “Princess, there is a young miss Lian, who calls herself your friend who has come to visit. They have already been invited into the main hall. Will young miss be seeing them?”
Young miss Lian? Feng Yuheng thought for a bit. It must be none other than Feng Zhaolian. Ever since she returned to the capital, she had not contacted that person much. She just knew that Feng Zhaolian was someone who enjoyed wandering around with his band of rogues. She also heard that he had left the capital for a stretch of time, and nobody knew where he had gone. When he returned, he was still the same as before, getting along with the madams and young misses in the capital.
She helplessly put down her chopsticks and gestured for Huang Quan to take it away. She then said to the maidservant outside: “Indeed, she is my friend. Bring them over here!”
Not long later, Fen Zhaolian barged into her bedchamber wearing a set of bright-red clothes, nearly bumping into Huang Quan, who had just returned from tidying things up. Huang Quan very helplessly said: “Can you not always walk in such a rush? At the very least, fit the image of the clothes that you’re wearing! Where are there any girls like you?”
Feng Zhaolian always dressed like a woman, but all of his actions exposed his original state. This was the case unless there were outsiders present, when he would deliberately put on a show. In front of Feng Yuheng, he had never bothered with hiding anything. At present, he rushed over to Feng Yuheng while ignoring Huang Quan’s mocking. With a very spoiled appearance, he said: “How long have you been back in the capital, yet you didn’t even say anything of coming to visit me. A woman’s heart really is as profound as the ocean. Finding a new sweetheart is enough to forget about old friends.”
Feng Yuheng raised a foot to throw a kick, and Feng Zhaolian dodged it with a smile, “You don’t visit me, yet you will kick me. Heng Heng, could it be that you really do dislike me?”
