Madam had asked about Feng Yuheng more than once or twice, and the maid had long been accustomed to it, so she just calmly replied: "I don't know yet. The general only said that she would definitely come back, but I don't know when exactly. Madam, why do you...always ask about her?"
The young woman glanced at the maid, then snorted coldly: "It's nothing, don't think too much, it's just because that person is one of our main enemies, so I am more concerned. You know, if she returns to the capital by herself, it means that the Ninth Prince will go to the East to attack Zong Sui. Zong Sui is our home, and my father has to go to the battlefield. How can I not care about it?"
The maid nodded and said, "Madam, rest assured. The old general is brave and will surely win the battle."
"Yes." The little woman responded, then waved her hand, "You can go down! I won't go out today. I'm tired and want to rest."
When the maid heard that she was not going out, she was relieved and quickly helped her to lie down before leaving the room. However, the woman in the room opened her narrowed eyes again after the maid left, and a look of annoyance appeared on her face.
She didn't care whether Zong Sui could win the battle or not, and she didn't even care about the old general. She was just a little conflicted. If she could choose, she hoped that Dashun could win the battle, but she was the legitimate daughter of the old general Zong Sui. If Dashun won, it would mean that the other family she had worked so hard to get would be destroyed, and she... would be homeless again.
The young woman had a headache and sat up from the bed, folding her arms and bending her knees, her face full of bitterness.
Who is she? What kind of person is she? There is a soul living inside her, supporting such a strange body. What is this? Is she a ghost?
She still remembered what happened many years ago. She, her mother and her brother were sent to a mountain village in the northwest by the Feng family. Their life was worse than that of the pigs raised by the good people. Her brother was young and her mother was a poor woman. She had no choice but to learn how to make fire and cook, and how to mend clothes. She also relied on the little medical skills she learned from her grandfather when she was young to identify edible things in the mountains. Once she tried a kind of mushroom and almost poisoned herself to death.
She thought that life would continue to be miserable, and she had almost gotten used to it. She had gradually forgotten the luxurious life she had in Feng Mansion, and she once thought that she was a child from a poor family in Xiping Village. Life was not getting better, but it was not going to get any worse. At most, it would leak when it rained and leak when it snowed.
But she never expected that she would be framed by thieves when she went up the mountain. Her beautiful appearance was finally targeted by others, and she died in the mountains in a daze.
That death... She felt terrified whenever she thought of it. Although it had been many years, she could still tremble all over when she thought of it.
"There really is such a thing as reincarnation in this world." She murmured, and the scenes from the past appeared in front of her again. She remembered that the person who occupied her body had said that he would avenge her, and she even thanked him. But in the blink of an eye, she herself "resurrected" with the help of another body, but her identity changed. She was resurrected as the legitimate daughter of General Chunyu of the Sui Kingdom, Chunyu Ling.
That’s right, Chun Yuling, she is the real Feng Yuheng, the original owner of that body, and the real second daughter of the Feng family.
But what was the meaning of all these past identities? She could only be Chun Yu Ling after all, and was no longer the familiar Feng Yu Heng.
Chun Yuling was thinking about the secret in her heart in the bedroom. At this time, her maid Tian Ping was standing in front of Bu Cong, telling Bu Cong all her recent movements very seriously. Tian Ping was very good at adding fuel to the fire. Not only did she describe Chun Yuling's whereabouts in recent days, she even had her own thoughts. She said to Bu Cong: "Normally, I shouldn't doubt Madam. After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the old general. The old general is the most loyal to the court, and the legitimate daughter of the family must be loyal and filial. But Madam's behavior recently is really too puzzling. It's okay that she goes to Yao Mansion every day, and she always says some strange things. There were even a few times when I felt that she was deliberately waiting for someone to come out of the gate of Yao Mansion. No matter who it is, as long as they can say a few words, Madam will look very happy. General, don't you think this is very strange?"
Bu Cong listened very carefully, and he was very interested in every move of his wife. In the past, this state seemed to be a loving relationship between the couple to outsiders, especially the old general Chunyu, who was very satisfied to see Bu Cong caring about his beloved daughter. However, only Tianping, a maid who had been taken in by Bu Cong, knew that the young general's attentiveness to his wife was not just care, but also a different emotion.
"General." Tian Ping said, and her body moved closer to Bu Cong, and her voice became softer. "General, do you think my analysis is reasonable?"
Bu Cong looked at the girl and couldn't help but sneer. He stretched out his hand as if to touch her, but when he touched the edge of her clothes, he immediately increased his strength and pushed her away. He said in a cold voice: "This general has promised General Chunyu that he will not take concubines in this life, and will not have affairs with other women again. Now I still let you serve my wife because I think you have taken care of me. You should respect yourself and stop doing useless things."
Tian Ping was pushed so hard that she almost fell down, but she felt a chill in her heart. She quickly knelt down and begged, "I know I was wrong, General, please calm down. I will never do it again."
Bu Cong waved his hand, "Alright, leave now! Take good care of the Madam."
Tianping's departure did not bring Bu Cong back to his senses from what had just happened. He recalled his encounter with Chunyu Ling, and that incident still seemed a bit weird when he thought about it.
That year, with the help of Yu Qianyin, he escaped from the capital of Dashun and went straight to the East Border of Zong Sui to hide. With the introduction of Yu Qianyin, he entered the General Chunyu Mansion and became a small guard. At that time, the General Chunyu Mansion was not peaceful because the daughter of the old general Chunyu, Chunyu Ling, who was held in the palm of his hand and loved by him, accidentally fell off the horse when riding out of the city. Her life was hanging by a thread and she even lost her breath. Later, I don't know how she recovered. She woke up, but she was mentally ill and crazy. She didn't recognize herself as the daughter of the General Chunyu Mansion, and even didn't recognize herself as a Zong Sui. She kept saying that she wanted to go back to Dashun, saying that that was her home. She also said that her mother was still suffering in a place called Xiping Village, and asked the people in the mansion to rescue her.
The Chunyu family had no other options at the time, so they invited many doctors to treat the young lady, but every doctor shook his head and left. Some people said that the young lady was possessed by a ghost, and that she was not sick at all, and that she needed to be exorcised. However, General Chunyu was a military commander and did not believe in ghosts. He thought that it might be a mental illness, and that his daughter probably had some strange dream when she fell off her horse and was unconscious, so that she looked awake, but was actually still in a dream.
So he secretly sent people to infiltrate Dashun and searched the northwest area for a long time, but he did not hear of any orphans and widows stranded there.
The Chunyu family didn't know that at that time, the three Yao family members had already been taken back by the Feng family. In order to stop people from gossiping, the Feng family also secretly sent people to silence the villagers of Xiping Village.
It was said that Miss Chunyu Ling had been in a state of madness since that year, saying strange things from time to time, and not being close to anyone, not even to her father who loved her the most. She looked like an outsider, just staying temporarily in General Chunyu's mansion, and was unfamiliar with everything in the mansion.
General Chunyu was very worried about his daughter's illness and aged rapidly. He even gave up a small part of his military power just to spend more time at home with his daughter.
Bu Cong heard these things from the servants after he entered the mansion. At first, he did not take it seriously, thinking that the young lady had fallen off a horse and was frightened and mentally ill. But when he heard that the young lady kept saying that her mother and brother were still in Xiping Village, it was as if something had touched a string in his heart, making it difficult for him to calm down.
Later, he would deliberately inquire about the situation of the young lady every day, but what he heard most was that the young lady would stay indoors and not get close to anyone. Until one day, the young lady went crazy again and ran out of the yard. He was on duty at the time, and the young lady bumped into him, shouting as she bumped into him: "Let me go! Let me go, I want to go home, I want to find my mother and brother!"
As he was shouting, he looked up and met Bu Cong's eyes. The mad man suddenly calmed down. After a long while, he pointed at Bu Cong and said, "You... I think I recognize you."
From that day on, Miss Di, who was so crazy that she didn't want to pay attention to anyone, just pestered Bu Cong. As long as Bu Cong was around, she would calm down, chat with him, and ask him many questions.
To this day, Bu Cong still remembers the first question Chunyu Ling asked him, which was: Has Feng Jinyuan, the left prime minister of Dashun, brought his first wife and one son and one daughter back to Beijing from the northwest?
Bu Cong didn't understand why a young lady from the Zong Sui General's Mansion would ask about Dashun. But this was the General's Mansion after all, and he thought that it was possible that General Chunyu talked about Dashun's national conditions on weekdays, and this daughter heard it. So he took advantage of her and really told Chunyu Ling about Dashun's affairs, starting from Feng Jinyuan bringing back the mother and daughter of the Yao family, to the time when Feng Yuheng was almost burned to death, and then to the fact that Feng Yuheng was a miracle doctor who saved people and was named a county lady and then a princess.
Bu Cong talked about the story of the Feng family, starting from what he knew at the beginning and then what he heard later, and this story lasted for several years.
During this period, General Chunyu saw that his daughter had rarely calmed down and was so attached to Bu Cong, so he made the decision to marry his daughter to Bu Cong, and introduced him to the King of Sui, who secured a general position for Bu Cong.
Bu Cong settled down in Zong Sui and became the son-in-law of Chunyu family. General Chunyu asked him to swear that he would never take a concubine or touch other women and only be good to Chunyu Ling. Bu Cong agreed to all of them!
In fact, for Yu Bucong, taking a concubine or not was not a big deal. What he cared about was Chun Yu Ling, who made him feel more and more strange...
