The most furious person after Feng Wan'er's death was none other than the Third Prince. The Xu family was there because of the marriage agreement, but what about the Feng family? Did they refuse to follow him even at the cost of their lives?

The Third Prince angrily smashed a tea set. Seeing that the Third Prince was really angry, the advisors around him did not approach. After the Third Prince's anger had subsided, they said, "Third Prince, in my opinion, we should give up on this marriage alliance."

The Third Prince took a few deep breaths to suppress his frustration and said, "What can we do now if we don't agree? Even the daughter of a concubine from the Xu family is unwilling to become a secondary consort, let alone the legitimate daughters of these families?"

Another advisor said, "Your Highness, you already have a principal wife. These concubine positions are more suitable for ordinary families. These families are extremely aloof and proud, like the Feng family, whose daughter would rather commit suicide than come here."

The Third Prince sighed and said, "Enough, let's leave it at that and not mention it again."

Feng Wan'er was led south, and her health gradually improved. In February, the Jiangnan region was still chilly, but it also carried a hazy spring atmosphere. Looking at it from afar always made people feel much more comfortable.

Feng Wan'er hugged a thick quilt and looked at the scenery outside the window. It wasn't that she hadn't traveled far before; she had even been to Wuzhou with her family. But this time, Feng Wan'er felt that her mood was different from before. Although this trip had been so dangerous, Feng Wan'er felt as if she had been reborn. She had left the cage of the capital, and now she could roam freely in the vast sky and sea. Feng Wan'er just wanted to laugh out loud.

Thinking of this, Feng Wan'er couldn't help but smile. Because she was very weak, her laughter was a little weak, but Lin Mama, who had been attending to her, heard it and saw Feng Wan'er's smile. She said with relief, "Miss is in a good mood."

Feng Wan'er had met Granny Lin at her mother's estate before and knew that Granny Lin was her mother's confidante. When Shen Shi married into the capital, her family bought a small estate in the expensive suburbs of Beijing to accommodate the dowry servants. There was a hot spring on the estate, and Feng Wan'er often went there to play. She knew that the people on the estate were actually her mother's confidantes. Shen Shi only brought her four head maids into the inner courtyard, and a family of servants were also placed in the alley behind the Feng residence. The rest were placed on the estate. The purpose of arranging these people was so that if Shen Shi had any problems, someone would run errands for her. This time, she even sent Granny Lin's whole family over.

All of this was arranged by Feng Zhongyi. He was very careful in choosing the people so that no one would know that these people were related to the Feng family and the Shen family. Fortunately, the Shen family was not a flamboyant person. These people had been staying at the estate since they came with him from Lingnan.

Feng Wan'er had never been to Yuezhou before. Looking at the scenery outside and feeling the wind blowing on her face, she asked Granny Lin, "Granny, what is Yuezhou like?"

Granny Lin said, "Yuezhou is warmer than here. The climate is mild and warm all year round. This place is close to the sea, and large ships often go out to sea. It gets very lively when the large ships return from the sea."

Feng Wan'er asked, "Will I be able to settle in Yuezhou?"

Lin Mama smiled and said, "Madam has lived in Yuezhou for more than ten years. Miss is Madam's child. How could she not be used to living here? She will definitely be able to get used to it."

Feng Wan'er said, "I once heard my mother say that the big ships that go out to sea from Yuezhou are taller than three-story buildings. Granny, are they really that tall?"

Granny Lin said, "Of course it's that high. The sea is so big, and the waves are so high. Small ships are easy to capsize. Besides, a ship can drift at sea for months at a time, taking our goods out to sea and bringing back things from outside."

What Granny Lin said filled Feng Wan'er with longing, and she asked, "Granny, what's on the other side of the sea?"

Granny Lin said, “I once saw people from overseas in Yuezhou. Their hair was different from ours, their skin color was different, and their eyes were different. I was young at the time. A girl from overseas came to our house. She was a teenager with red hair and blue eyes, as blue as the sea. Her skin was as white as milk. She spoke a different language than ours, and no one could understand her.”

Feng Wan'er listened with longing and said, "Are there really people like that? I wonder if I'll ever get to meet one."

Granny Lin said, "Of course you'll be able to see it. Yuezhou is a port for trade in our Great Liang. Large ships that want to go out to sea all have to leave from our Yuezhou port, and ships that come from overseas also have to dock at our Yuezhou port. Since Miss will be living in Yuezhou in the future, she will be able to see it."

Feng Wan'er said, "I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to go to the other side of the ocean on a big ship."

Lin Mama said with some difficulty, "This is a bit difficult, as women are not allowed to board the ship."

Feng Wan'er sighed and said, "I knew it, it'll be like this again."

Lin Mama said, "But we can see the things brought back from overseas right away. Every time the big ships return, the harbor is especially lively. The things brought back are carried off the ships one by one, and the merchants waiting at the dock choose the things they like. I heard that some of these things can sell for sky-high prices in the capital."

Lin Mama tried her best to portray Yuezhou in a positive light, hoping to persuade Feng Wan'er to go there. Feng Wan'er was a noblewoman raised in the capital, not only of high status but also with manners that differed from those of women in Yuezhou. In the eyes of people in the capital, Yuezhou was merely a desolate and uncivilized place, while the capital itself was prosperous and bustling. Even Lin Mama felt that a girl like Feng Wan'er would not be comfortable going to Yuezhou.

Feng Wan'er sighed and said, "I'm someone who escaped death, and now I'm considered dead. It's already difficult enough to have a place to stand. How can I think too much? Granny, I know what you're worried about."

Lin Mama tucked the blanket around Feng Wan'er and said, "What Master and Madam are most worried about is that the young lady will not be able to adapt to the southern climate. You are weak, what if you can't adapt? This old servant thinks that the climate in Lingnan is mild and humid, which is most suitable for the young lady to recuperate. We can stay in Lingnan for a few years and get better. By then, the things in the capital will have been a few years, and we can come back."

Feng Wan'er gently shook her head and said, "Granny, now that we've gotten out of that quagmire, there's no reason for us to jump back in. I don't care about the future. Let's just focus on the present."
