zChapter 1131 - The Real Feng Yuheng (2/2)

Tian Ping was pushed by him and almost fell over, but chills also grew in her heart, she quickly knelt down and pleaded: “This Servant knows it was wrong, General, please calm down, This Servant will not do this again.”

Bu Cong waved his hand in dismissal, “That’s enough, you can leave! Take care of the Madam properly.”

Tian Ping leaving did not cause Bu Cong to pull himself away from the events of just now, he remembered his encounter with Chunyu Ling, even when he thought about that event now, he felt that it was a little mysterious.

That year, he received help from Yu Qianyin, escaping from Da Shun’s capital, heading straight to Zong Sui at the eastern border to hide himself. Receiving a recommendation from Yu Qianyin, he entered General Chunyu’s manor, becoming a low-ranking guard. At that time, it was not that peaceful in General Chunyu’s manor, the reason was that the old General Chunyu An’s first daughter, Chunyu Ling, whom he loved and pampered a lot, got into an accident and fell off her horse when she left the city to go horse riding. Her life hung on by a thread and she even stopped breathing at one point. After that, it was unknown what happened, and she started to breathe again. She had woken up, but her mental state was abnormal and she had gone crazy, she did not think she was the First Miss of General Chunyu’s manor, and did not even think she was a Zong Sui citizen, saying that she wanted to return to Da Shun, saying that was her home. She even said that her mother was still suffering at a place known as Xi Ping village, begging people in the manor to save her.

At that time, the Chunyu family did not know what to do and asked a lot of physicians to come over to examine the First Miss, but every physician left while shaking their heads. Some people said, this First Miss had been lived in by a demon, it was not an illness, it was a possession. But the old General Chunyu was a military general and did not believe in the occult. He felt it was possibly a mental illness, it was likely that his daughter had some strange dream when his daughter fell off the horse and was unconscious, to the point that it looked like she was awake, but in reality, she was still in the dream.

Therefore, he secretly sent people to infiltrate Da Shun, searching the northwest area for a long time, but he did not hear about any mother and children who ended up there with no one else to depend on.

The people of the Chunyu family did not know, at that time, Yao Shi and the children had already been taken back by the people of the Feng family, and in order to stop people from talking about it, the Feng family also secretly sent people to seal the mouths of the villagers in Xi Ping village.

He heard that the First Miss Chunyu Ling had been acting strange since that year, occasionally saying strange things and not being close to anyone, not even cultivating a close relationship with her father who loved her the most in the past. She acted just like an outsider, only taking up residence in General Chunyu’s manor, being unfamiliar with everything in this manor.

Old General Chunyu became very anxious because of his daughter’s illness and aged quickly, even giving up a small portion of his military authority so he could have more time to stay home and accompany his daughter.

For these matters, Bu Cong heard the servants talking about it after entering the manor. At the beginning, he did not take it to heart, only thinking it was a Young Miss who got a huge shock after falling off a horse, thus having an abnormal mental state. But when he heard that Young Miss clearly say that her mother and younger brother were still at Xi Ping village, it was as if something had plucked at a string at the bottom of his heart such that his emotions could not settle down easily.

After that, he would willingly, unwilling and intentionally hear some information about this First Miss’ situation every day, but what he heard the most frequently was that the Young Miss would close her doors and not come out, not acting close with anyone. Until one day, the First Miss went crazy again, running out from the courtyard. He was on duty at that time and that First Miss knocked into him, and when they collided, the other party even shouted: “Let go of me! Let me leave, I am going home, I am going to find my mother and younger brother!”

As she was shouting, she looked up, her gaze meeting Bu Cong’s, then this person who was acting crazy suddenly quietened down. After half a beat, she actually pointed at Bu Cong and said: “You…… I seem to recognise you.”

From that day, this First Miss who went crazy until no one was willing to pay attention to her stuck to Bu Cong. As long as Bu Cong was around, she would quieten down, she would speak to Bu Cong and would ask Bu Cong many questions.

Until today, Bu Cong still remembered that the first question Chunyu Ling asked him was actually: Da Shun’s Left Prime Minister Feng Jinyuan, did he take back his wife, one son and one daughter who he had sent to the northwest?

Bu Cong did not understand this then, unable to think of why a Young Miss who lived deep in the protection of a General’s manor in Zong Sui would ask about Da Shun. But this was a General’s manor, he thought, it was possible that old General Chunyu normally talked about the national affairs of Da Shun and were heard by this daughter. So he played along and really talked to Chunyu Ling about the matters of Da Shun, from Feng Jinyuan taking back the Yao Shi mother and children, talking about how Feng Yuheng almost burnt to death once, then talked about Feng Yuheng being a divine doctor, helping society and saving people, being appointed as a county mistress, then appointed as a county princess.

With regards to the story of the Feng family, Bu Cong started to the beginning which he knew about, then talked about what he heard about later, and a few years passed just talking about this.

During this period, old General Chunyu saw that his daughter had calmed down after so much effort and was this attached to Bu Cong, therefore he made a decision, promising his daughter to Bu Cong as his wife, and made a referral to the Zong Sui ruler, obtaining the position of General for Bu Cong.

Bu Cong planted his roots in Zong Sui with this and became the son-in-law of the Chunyu family. Old General Chunyu made him swear not to take in concubines in his life and not touch other women, only wholeheartedly treating Chunyu Ling well. Bu Cong agreed to everything!

Actually to Bu Cong, taking in concubines or not was a small matter. What he was bothered by was Chunyu Ling who he felt was becoming more and more strange……
