zChapter 1149 - To Ask For The Truth (1/2)
Feng Yuheng’s story started from a child who was lost in the mountains, she told Xuan Tianfeng: “That child was abandoned by her family, she died, but after she died, she lived again, and when she revived, she seemed to have turned into another person, knowing medical skills, knowing martial arts, even knowing military tactics. Her memories from the past flowed in like a tide, she accepted them passively and knew everything about the family. Therefore, she started to take revenge, taking revenge against the people who had abandoned and harmed her. Finally, the days became better, she thought the storm had passed, but she met someone one day, that person should have been a stranger, but strangely, her emotions and body formed an unbreakable bond with that person, leading her to think, to search, and even going insane. She knew, that person had the same past memories as her, and she even knew that person is her true self, the true Master of this body. Now that person had returned, then, where should she go? Who exactly was she? Why did that person pester here with the emotions of hatred after returning? Is that person blaming her? Because her mother died, has also died in that revenge directed against her family, that person, came to seek payment for her mother?”
These were the guesses Feng Yuheng carried out with regards to the original owner in the recent days, excluding Yao Shi’s death, she could not think of any other reasons which could allow the original owner to harbour such huge hatred against her.
That’s right, it was hatred, the two of them did not have any actual interactions, but Feng Yuheng could sense emotions of hatred from the gaze of the original owner, her own body could also feel the desire for revenge from the other person. She could not under the reason for this. When she just transmigrated over, the original owner told her to take revenge for this when leaving the body and even thanked her. Thinking about this over and over, only the reason of Yao Shi was left, an accident which occurred during this plan for revenge.
Xuan Tianfeng listened to this story. It was as if he was reading a strange story spread amongst the people, and even if he was a person who read all the books in the world, he also had to use all of his ability to digest this story.
Feng Yuheng was not anxious as well, after finishing the story, she continued to eat as if she had not said anything at all, eating the dishes and drinking alcohol. When Xuan Tianfeng laughed loudly, she raised her head and asked: “Why is Sixth Brother laughing?”
Xuan Tianfeng said: “Because of an entertaining story, and because of a rarely obtained trust.” He raised his wine cup and said: “Congratulations to you, for obtaining a new life.”
Feng Yuheng blinked: “I only told a story, why am I involved now.”
“Regardless of whose story it is, we have to congratulate the two women in the mountains who both obtained new lives.” He drank all the wine, then told Feng Yuheng: “Sixth Brother can cure Ah-Heng’s mental illness, after we return, I will get the medicine for you, do you believe it?”
“My illness can only be cured with special medicine, if Sixth Brother only cures the symptoms and not the root of the issue, it is meaningless.” She smiled bitterly, “If her mother is still around, all of this might just take another form. Sixth Brother, you said Da Shun does not have a punishment of burning people to death, but what do you think, if that woman who was reborn in the mountains is in front of you, when her identity is exposed and known by everyone, what should be done? How should Da Shun treat that woman?”
“What else can be done?” Xuan Tianfeng spread out his arms, “Someone who practices medicine and saves people, someone who serves the people, someone who helped Da Shun break new ground, Da Shun would naturally treat that person as an honoured guest.”
“But…… she is only a ghost in the end.”
“There are no ghosts in the world, ghosts only exist in the hearts of humans.” Xuan Tianfeng tightened his fist slightly when he spoke, hitting the area where the heart was located, “It is only a story, everyone in the world would only know that this is only a story, but the person who told the story wants to treat is as something real, Ah-Heng, you are too stubborn. Forget it, forget it, you do not need to care about this matter, leave everything to Sixth Brother, do not worry, Sixth Brother’s mental medicine will not cure all illnesses, but it will definitely cure your illness.”
“Sixth Brother can really solve it?” Feng Yuheng’s eyes contained hope and expectations which could not be hidden.
“If I cannot handle one small matter, how can I manage a country?”
This was the promise Xuan Tianfeng gave Feng Yuheng, and in reality, Xuan Tianfeng really fulfilled this promise!
The day after they left the village, without consulting each other, almost all the storytellers in the tea houses in the capital all used the Feng family as a blueprint, talking about the matters of the Feng family over the years without obscuring any names. All the theatre troupes also used the Feng family as a script, singing about Feng Yuheng various battles of wits with the people in Feng manor.
What was included was Feng Jinyuan being focused on sending Feng Chenyu into the palace to be Empress; and also Chen Shi working together with the Chen family many times to attempt to kill Feng Yuheng; and the Granny being unable to make up her mind and constantly switching stances; as well as Han Shi seducing a troupe actor and causing Feng Jinyuan to wear a huge green hat. This included when they first entered the manor, Zirui was almost given aphrodisiacs by Chen Shi at a young age, and they even talked about how Zirui was taken in as a personal disciple of the Emperor’s teacher Ye Rong with Feng Yuheng’s help.
Other than the people earlier, people even talked about Yao Shi, the birth mother of that Princess Ji An. They talked about how Feng Yuheng asked for a certificate of divorce from the Emperor so her mother can be free from the evil claws of Feng manor; talked about how Yao Shi was harmed by someone and was poisoned by Xiaoyao Powder, Feng Yuheng whipped the Third Prince Xuan Tianye severely because of this; it even talked about how Yao Shi mood became very extreme because of this, often reprimanding Feng Yuheng about how she was too cruel to the people of the Feng family; and when Yao Shi finally stabbed Feng Jinyuan and cut off the possibility of descendents, she actually became a fake married couple with Feng Jinyuan again and adopted a person who looked very similar to Feng Yuheng as a daughter, taking that daughter to Lan Province at the southern border, helping the Eighth Prince in obtaining the throne.
