Chapter 66 Chapter 66 "Does the young lady like it?" ...
==Chapter 66==
Cheating?
I'm not being mean. I never intended to divorce from the beginning. Writing a divorce letter in anger was already out of line. How could I possibly stamp it with a seal?
Besides, he didn't give her the divorce papers.
Gu Yushi said, "You haven't even received the divorce papers, how can it be a divorce?"
Feng Wenyu was stunned. After recalling for a while, she realized that in that memory, she did not get the divorce papers. When she was about to get them, her memory stopped abruptly.
So, he didn't give it to her in the end?
Feng Wenyu was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicably emotional. Finally, she suppressed her emotions and said in a low voice:
"Who's talking about the past? Anyway, this time, you and I are really breaking off the engagement."
Someone suddenly asked her, "If you come back and find that I haven't broken off the engagement with you, and I happily marry you, knowing nothing about it, and pretend that nothing happened, will you really be happy?"
Will there really be no grudges?
Even though this person is her, there is still a gap between them.
Feng Wenyu didn't give Gu Yushi an answer until she returned to the living room. Without ifs, she couldn't answer this question.
But she knew that the past was the past.
Now that she is engaged to Xie Zhujing, it would be unfair to Xie Zhujing if she still has an affair with Gu Yushi.
Feng Wenyan saw that she was a little absent-minded after returning, and couldn't help but ask worriedly:
"How come you feel so exhausted after going out?"
Feng Wenyu forced her lips and said, "I'm fine."
The Prince of the County also returned, and the group was preparing to return to the Minister's Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the Minister's Mansion, Feng Wenyu saw a carriage parked at the door.
Feng Wenyan covered her lips and smiled: "It seems that we came back late."
Feng Wenyu felt uncomfortable from being laughed at and got off the carriage as if to escape. Someone quickly reached out and held her up: "Slow down."
When she first met Gu Yu and then saw Xie Zhujing, Feng Wenyu's mood was extremely complicated. She could only suppress these emotions and asked calmly:
"Did you wait a long time?"
She unconsciously gathered her long hair, making many small movements. Xie Zhujing looked at her in confusion and replied appropriately, "I just arrived too."
Feng Wenyan and Feng Wenxu also got off the carriage. Feng Wenxu and Xie Zhujing had met several times and were colleagues, so they were very familiar with each other. However, this was the first time Feng Wenyan met Xie Zhujing. She looked Xie Zhujing up and down, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and finding fault with him.
Finally, she smiled and said, "This must be Mr. Xie."
Xie Zhujing bowed slightly:
"Miss."
He didn't call her Madam. After all, this was the Minister's Mansion, and everything should be addressed according to the local terms.
As expected, Feng Wenyan smiled and said jokingly, "Just like Ah Yu, you can call me Ah Jie."
The name will have to be changed sooner or later, so Feng Wenyan doesn't mind changing it sooner.
Feng Wenyu was embarrassed by what she said, and couldn't help but say: "Sister!"
Xie Zhujing looked at her with a smile.
A man appeared at the door of the Minister's residence. He frowned at the group of people at the door and interrupted their conversation: "Dad and Mom are already waiting for you at the residence."
Seeing him coming, Feng Wenyu quickly walked to Feng Wenzhou's side. Feng Wenzhou subconsciously blocked her behind him. As they walked into the mansion, he staggered a step and walked side by side with Feng Wenyan, his voice muffled:
"As long as they are not married, they are not a real couple."
Feng Wenyan was stunned for a moment before she realized that her second brother was unhappy with her asking Xie Zhujing to call her "Ajie". She felt both angry and amused: "You'll keep Ah Yu tied to your belt for the rest of your life, and you can always take her with you wherever you go."
Feng Wenzhou didn't say anything.
Feng Wenyan knocked on his head, but Feng Wenzhou didn't dodge. Since he was a child, Feng Rongyu had just been promoted, and Zhou Yueyu had to take care of his social life, so they were both very busy. It was Feng Wenyan who always took care of him and his sister. In his heart, Feng Wenyan's weight was undoubtedly heavier than others.
"I heard you had a fight with mom?"
Feng Wenzhou frowned, thinking her news was untrue: "There was no quarrel."
Just discussing the matter at hand.
Feng Wenyan ignored him and rolled his eyes, warning slightly:
"Filial piety is the most important virtue. You should know the importance of filial piety. Don't destroy yourself, and don't drag Ah Yu down with you."
She was worried that if she only mentioned him, he wouldn't take her seriously enough, so after thinking about it, she decided to bring Ayu along.
Feng Wenyan couldn't understand how her second brother developed such a temper, but there was nothing wrong with it. Whether he was close to the Feng family or not, as long as he didn't harm the Feng family, there was no need to restrain his temperament.
A family dinner is a meal that everyone eats together. After the meal, Zhou Yueyu held her grandson tightly in her arms and teased the child with Feng Wenyan.
Feng Wenyu was not indoors. She and Xie Zhujing were in the back garden. She took the bait from Jinshu and asked Xie Zhujing curiously:
"Aren't you busy today?"
You come so early and stay so long.
Xie Zhujing sat beside her, looking at her with a smile. Feng Wenyu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, and her fingers twisting the bait felt a little tight. Then she heard him say, "I'm taking a day off today."
Feng Wenyu was half leaning against the railing, scattering fishing bait in one hand. She had gone to the Prince's Mansion today and had dressed up specially. The scarlet silk dress made her look even more charming, and her waist was so slender that it could be held in one hand. She was being stared at and did not dare to look back.
The bait fell from her fingertips with a trembling sound. As she moved, her sleeve slipped down a little, revealing a piece of her white wrist.
The place was empty.
Then someone pushed a brocade box towards her. Feng Wenyu turned around in surprise and asked hesitantly, "What is this?"
Xie Zhujing looked at her wrist and stretched out his hand to her. Feng Wenyu hesitated for a moment before extending her hand to him. After a pause, she quickly retracted her hand, wiped the bait clean on her handkerchief, and then reached out again.
This action made Xie Zhujing burst into laughter. He held her hand, opened the brocade box, took out the things inside, and gently put them on her.
"When I saw it, I thought it was perfect for you."
This is a red agate jade bracelet. The red color is particularly dazzling, which makes her wrist look even whiter and complements her wrist perfectly when she wears it.
Feng Wenyu stared at the jade bracelet in a daze, looking a little dazed.
Xie Zhujing released her hand, but not completely. His index finger seemed to still be entangled with her pinky, loosely intertwined. He explained to her, "I got it from a pair of Hu merchants a few days ago."
His fingertips brushed against the jade bracelet and seemed to gently touch her wrist, causing Feng Wenyu to bite her lip involuntarily.
She heard him laugh and said, "It really suits the young lady."
He said it was suitable, and then asked Feng Wenyu:
"Did the young lady like it?"
Feng Wenyu looked down at the jade bracelet again. There was no way she couldn't like such a rich color, so she nodded honestly, her voice buzzing and a little whispering:
"……like."
Xie Zhujing couldn't tell for a moment whether her "like" was referring to the jade bracelet or the person.
My heart seemed to skip a beat, and the sound was secretly transmitted to my ears, and an indescribable itchiness surged into my limbs.
It was very disappointing, but it made Xie Zhujing laugh.
Feng Wenyu was confused by the laughter and felt a little conflicted: "Then what should I give you?"
Xie Zhujing glanced at her. He didn't know if she was also so calculating when she was with Gu Yushi, but perhaps there was no need to compare them all the time.
He took out the purse that had been hanging from his waist, looked at the woman and said:
"If you want a return gift, young lady, why not make me another purse?"
He said, “This is old.”
The voice was steady and gentle, causing Feng Wenyu to unconsciously look at the purse. She recognized it at a glance as the one she had given her. She exclaimed in surprise:
"How did it get so worn out?"
She frowned, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "Why don't you know how to change them?"
She knew his background, that he was not wealthy to begin with, and if he only carried a worn-out purse, some malicious people might gossip about him behind his back.
Xie Zhujing raised his eyes and spoke in a normal voice: "I don't have any women in my family, no one to worry about me, and I don't have a second purse to replace it." He was not lying. Before this, he never wore a purse or sachet.
No need.
Moreover, no one had deliberately prepared these for him.
Feng Wenyu's words were stuck in her throat. After a long moment, she lowered her head dejectedly, "Okay, I'll do it for you later."
He is her future husband, she should pay more attention to him.
She was not stupid, so of course she could hear the self-torture in the words, but she did fall for it.
Someone succeeded in his goal, then suppressed a smile and said gratefully:
"Thanks for your hard work."
Feng Wenyu glanced at him and didn't say anything politely that it wasn't hard. The purse was very simple, and Jinshu helped her pick out the cloth and silk thread. She could make a pile in a day. If he took good care of it, it would be enough for him to replace it for a year.
But isn’t a day of hard work still hardship?
She thought with some pride that she deserved this word of gratitude.
******
In early July, Emperor Wenyuan caught a cold and fell seriously ill.
This seemed to be a signal. For a time, all the noble families and officials in the capital were worried, but no one dared to show it openly.
After Feng Wenyu learned the news, he couldn't help but recall the memories of his previous life. He knew very well that the master of this dynasty would soon be replaced.
It was a little later in the previous life, but perhaps it was the Gao Party case and the downfall of the Fourth Prince and the Second Prince, which dealt a heavy blow to Emperor Wenyuan. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, he had already suffered losses internally.
Feng Rongyu became increasingly busy, leaving home early and returning late. Even when he was off duty, he would go to the old house first.
In the old house, Feng Rongyu was sitting restlessly. Elder Feng glanced at him and frowned:
"Okay, sit tight."
He seemed to be asking Feng Rongyu to sit down, but also seemed to be making a double entendre.
Feng Rongyu sat down for a long time before he couldn't help but say, "The Emperor's illness is very serious, and the Fourth and Second Princes have already been demoted. Who does the Emperor favor?"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lord Feng, who said in a deep voice:
"You're upset."
Feng Rongyu suddenly fell silent.
How could he not be in chaos? The new emperor ascending the throne meant that all the power in the court would be completely reshuffled. Who knew whether this would be a good thing or a bad thing for the Feng family?
Feng Rongyu glanced at the old man and asked, "You can't guess it either?"
Elder Feng looked down at the chessboard, his voice filled with inexplicable emotion:
"Maybe someone will know."
Feng Rongyu quickly realized who the old man was talking about. He was a little bit incredulous: "Your Majesty actually values him so much?"
Elder Feng lowered his eyes, his voice clearly showing fatigue:
"Wait."
"The transfer order should come down soon."
Like Xie Zhujing, his term in the Hanlin Academy has expired and it is time for him to be transferred.
Elder Feng had a premonition—
Gu Yushi will be on the list of officials transferred this time.
Even if his term has not yet expired, it is not a problem at all as long as His Majesty wants.
