There are consequences to being a traitorous official.
First: Being born into a loyal official's family. She felt out of place and uncomfortable all over.
Second: Following her loya...
Everyone laughed.
Feng Chan: "Grandpa, Xiao Liu and Lao Bai are worried that you'll get tired."
12, 13: "Mmm."
Little Mumu saw that Twelve and Thirteen were making "hmm" sounds and also made two "hmm" sounds.
Grandpa Yun glared at Lao Hei and Ning Yirong. The implication was clear: if Xiao Liu goes astray, it's because you two spoil him. "Well, your sixth sister and Uncle Bai are just worried about Great-Grandpa. Let's go back."
"good."
Twelve and Thirteen each took one of Old Master Yun's hands, one on the left and one on the right.
Little Mumu ran to Feng Chan's side, hugged Feng Chan's leg, and whispered, "Third Aunt, do Sixth Sister and Uncle Bai not want to take Great-Grandpa out to play?"
Great-Grandpa: "..." You brat, couldn't you have asked after you got in the car? Your great-grandpa practices martial arts every day, I'm in excellent health. My hearing isn't bad, and my eyesight isn't failing either. "Ahem! Mumu, come here, let's test whether you can recite the Three Character Classic?"
Little Mumu: "..." No need to ask anymore, he doesn't like playing with his great-grandfather either. "Hoo...hoo...Third Aunt, Little Mumu is sleepy, Little Mumu wants to go to sleep."
Yun Qingying hasn't returned, so Xiao Mumu is temporarily treating Feng Chan as his mother. Feng Chan also likes children.
Feng Chan picked up Xiao Mumu. "How about your third aunt reads you a bedtime song?"
"Okay." Little Mumu nestled in Feng Chan's neck and made a face at Old Master Yun.
Grandpa Yun: "..." It's time to rectify the family's conduct.
As Feng Chan carried Xiao Mumu towards the carriage, she recited: "At birth, people are inherently good; their natures are similar, but their habits differ..."
Grandpa Yun: "..." Oh well, this is fine too.
On the other side, Sisi and Lao Bai stopped when they figured that Grandpa Yun and the others had gone back.
Old Bai wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead. "That scared me to death."
Sisi wiped her forehead. "Can you see if my great-grandfather has caught up yet?"
Old Bai looked back. "No."
"Phew... Let's go."
"Okay. Where to?"
"Go find my godfather." She couldn't be her godfather's daughter-in-law anymore; she had to give him an explanation.
"Okay. I was just thinking of going to see my old flames. When I was in the capital, they even sent me messages asking when I was coming back."
"Then you should spend more time with them. By the way, my mother just said that if you don't want to get married, you should have a child, and she'll raise it for you. Did you hear that?"
"I heard that, your mother is such a worrywart."
"Yes. When Lao Hei has a son, my mother will definitely bring Lao Hei's son to you. By the way, don't sell the land that the Emperor bestowed upon you. If you're short of money, just tell me, and I'll give you some. If you sell that land, my mother will keep nagging us."
"I understand. Old Qi won't let me sell it either. He even threatened me, saying that if I sold those lands, it would be disrespectful to the Emperor."
"Old Qi treats you like a son, and he's afraid you'll squander the family fortune."
"Just play until you've exhausted your resources and then make more money."
"They don't think that way. They're afraid you won't earn enough, afraid you'll go hungry. Let's go."
"With you and Old Black, I'll never go hungry, even if I wanted to. Giddy up!"
Just as Sisi and Lao Hei were about to reach the border, Abbess Qingzhu and her entourage arrived in the capital.
After arriving in the capital, Abbess Qingzhu pretended to inquire about Feng Chan's background before coming to find her.
Feng Chan was feeding Xiao Mumu water when the steward entered. "Third Madam, several nuns have come to the door, saying they need to speak with you. What do you think?"
Feng Chan found this rather strange. "Are they trying to beg for alms, or what?"
"They're not here to beg for alms. One of them looks a lot like you."
"..." No way? Someone's already coming to claim kinship so soon? Her daughter told her before she left that someone might come to claim kinship, and if she thought it was true, she should go find Lao Hei. If Lao Hei wasn't there, she should go find Ning Yirong. If Lao Hei or Ning Yirong also said it was okay to claim kinship, then she should. If they said it wasn't okay, then she shouldn't. "Let them in."
"yes."
A moment later, the steward brought in Abbess Qingzhu and the two young nuns who had come out to take care of her.
The moment Abbess Qingzhu entered, she stared at Feng Chan. Feng Chan looked both young and beautiful. Feng Chan had only suffered a bit of hardship during the one or two years she spent back in her hometown.
Feng Chan was also quite curious about Abbess Qingzhu. This person did indeed look quite like her, but she wondered if she was only trying to deceive her because of their resemblance, or if they were truly related by blood.
The two young nuns bowed to Feng Chan. "Greetings, benefactor."
Abbess Qingzhu neither bowed to Fengchan nor spoke to her. Abbess Qingzhu wished she could tear Fengchan apart. She suffered in the nunnery, while Fengchan acted like a noble lady here.
Feng Chan smiled. "Hello, please have a seat."
Little Mumu had never seen a nun before and was very curious about her. "Third Aunt, what are they?"
"They are spiritual practitioners."
What is spiritual practice?
"Cultivation is similar to studying or practicing martial arts."
"Oh." Little Mumu understood. "Why aren't you sitting? My third aunt invited you to sit. Third aunt, is it not allowed to sit while cultivating?"
Feng Chan: "I can sit."
Master Qingzhu didn't want to sit; she wanted to resolve the matter quickly. She pinched her palm hard.
Master Qingzhu looked at Fengchan and said in a trembling voice, "You...you look so much like me? I...I also have a daughter. But my mother always tells me that my daughter doesn't look like me at all. I...I thought my mother was just imagining things. I never expected...I never expected..."
Master Qingzhu walked up to Fengchan and tried to take her arm.
Feng Chan took a step back.
