zChapter 1119 - We Are Only Strangers (1/2)

Feng Fendai came to see Feng Yuheng, her purpose was very clear, she wanted to bring Xiao Bao back. This morning, she heard the news that Princess Yu and Prince Chun had exterminated a group of Zong Sui renegades last year, rescuing a child. This was when she knew that Xiao Bao was rescued.

Yu Qianyin and her group were very secretive when taking action, the Fifth Prince searched for so many days outside but did not obtain any clues at all, but she knew, as long as Feng Yuheng was willing to take action, she would definitely be able to find him.

As expected, Xiao Bao was rescued by Feng Yuheng in the end, but she hesitated in her manor for the whole morning, and it was only now did she pluck up her courage to go to Yu Palace. However, when facing this Second Sister, she did not have any confidence at all. The arrogance and obstinance she had already been smoothened out by Feng Yuheng long ago. In her own manor, in front of the Fifth Prince would always gave in to her, she could still act high and mighty, but with Feng Yuheng, she could not express any of this at all.

Huang Quan went to get Xiao Bao, throwing down a sentence when she left: “That child was taken by the servants to coax him to sleep, we do not know if he is willing to go with you. We had thought that Fourth Miss does not want that child, since he was hit and scolded when he was raised at your place, it appears that you dislike him very much.”

In response to Huang Quan’s cold words, Fendai did not say anything, only standing up after Huang Quan left, bowing towards Feng Yuheng, saying: “Many thanks to Princess Yu for rescuing my younger brother, I do not have any valuable objects to express my gratitude, just accept a kowtow from me, consider this my sincerity!” After saying this, she knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Feng Yuheng for the first time in her life.

Feng Yuheng did not stop her, Feng Fendai had a strange temper, she never thought that the actions of this girl at any given moment would represent hat she would always behave like this. Just like how she was kowtowing in thanks now, it was possible that she would become hostile in the blink of an eye.

Feng Yuheng had a muted attitude to Fendai, just like she was a stranger, this caused Fendai to feel a little awkward. Standing up on her own, glancing at the person sitting at the host seat, she did not say anymore, returning to her chair, peacefully waiting for Huang Quan to bring Xiao Bao out.

Huang Quan did not make her wait for too long, it was just that when she returned, Xiao Bao was being carried by a granny and was sleeping deeply. Dong Ying approached and received the child. Seeing that the child had a good complexion and knowing that he did not suffer that much, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. She wanted to establish eye contact with Fendai, but Fendai ignored her, only saying to Feng Yuheng: “Can I see Third Sister?” Thinking about it again, she changed her words, “Or…… I should address her as Feng Third Miss.”

Feng Yuheng smiled, “This humble behaviour does not match my memories of Feng Fendai. Why? You feel guilty?”

Fendai’s cheeks heated up because of what she said, only lowering her head and not rebuking. Hearing Feng Yuheng say again: “Xiangrong is staying at Chun Palace now, it is useless for you to request it from me, if you really want to see her, then knock on the gates of Chun Palace. But whether you can enter, that is something which is not guaranteed.”

Fendai’s brow twitched and she did not mention wanting to see Xiangrong any longer. She understood in her heart, Prince Chun looks like a deity and it seemed it was easy to negotiate with him, but in reality, he was the most unreasonable one amongst all the princes. It was easy to negotiate with him on things which were not related to principles, but once his bottom line was touched, his revenge was definitely much fiercer than the ones carried out by the Ninth Prince.

Fendai trembled, a soundless sigh rising up within her heart, raising her head again and looking at Feng Yuheng, she asked after half a beat, “Second Sister, do you hate me?”

Feng Yuheng’s gaze was still muted, still remembering to remind her: “Just address me as Princess Yu, I am not worthy of the words Second Sister. When you marry His Highness the Fifth Prince in the future, I still have to address you as Older Sister-in-law! We can just see it from this direction.” After saying this, she drank a mouthful of tea, speaking again: “There’s nothing to discuss over feeling hatred or not, people live for their own sake, in addition, you were not only doing it for you own sake, but for your younger brother’s sake as well. I cannot say that Xiangrong’s life is more valuable than Xiao Bao’s, so I cannot blame you for thinking about who to protect first when you are in danger. In the end, you and I are just strangers, why should I hate you?”

With one sentence of stranger, the distance between Fendai and her were pulled far away again. Fendai was stunned, wanting to say something, but she could not say anything in the end. When she was younger, she felt that her Second Sister, who was the first ranked daughter was unreachable, then Feng Yuheng was sent away later, and she was happy for many years. But when Feng Yuheng returned again, it was as if the Feng family was grasped in her hands, making or ruining them at will, anyone who she had a grudge with, anyone who she felt animosity to, anyone who offended her, no one was able to escape punishment.

Actually, thinking about this, she was considered good, at least she was still alive, Feng Yuheng also did not do anything much to her. Thinking about it, she should be grateful, but her temperament since young did not allow her to really lower her head towards these sisters. Even if she knelt down just now, even if she also kowtowed just now, it was what Feng Yuheng thought, Feng Fendai’s temperament was difficult to grasp, it changed greatly, what she did earlier did not mean that she would continue doing so.

Just like right now, after a few rounds of careful thinking, her stubborn streak in her bones rose up again. She stood up, received Xiao Bao from Dong Ying’s arms, then shook him forcefully a few times, quickly shaking that child awake.

Once Xiao Bao opened his eyes, blearily seeing Feng Fendai, even though he just woke up, after seeing his older sister, happiness quickly replaced the sleepiness he felt. The child grinned and he chuckled, even calling out: “Older Sister! Older Sister! Xiao Bao misses you!”
