"I just want to take a look at her. After all, she is my sister." Fendai suppressed her surging blood and pleaded, "I just want to take a look at her, not to cause trouble. You see, I brought Xiaobao with me. Third sister used to like this child very much." She pushed Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, please help your sister to beg so that she can go in."
Xiaobao didn't understand, but still said to Ren Xifeng and the others in a baby voice: "My sister is a good person, just let her in! Or you can keep me as a hostage, I can be a hostage." Since the last robbery, Dongying told the child many stories about kidnapping and hostages. The purpose was to warn him and make him more careful in the future. Unexpectedly, the child remembered them and used them now.
Ren Xifeng and the others were somewhat softened by Xiaobao's words, but when they thought about what Feng Fendai had done, they hardened their hearts again and refused to agree no matter what. As they were in a stalemate, they heard An's voice coming from the door behind them. An said, "Let her in! She is right, Xiangrong is her sister after all. As a child of the Feng family, let her come to see Xiangrong off, so that there won't be anyone left in the Feng family at my daughter's last moment."
As she spoke, she turned sideways and let the door open. At the same time, she continued, "Fourth Miss, in fact, your third sister has never blamed you. No matter what you did to her, she told me that you were just a child and didn't know better. She was her sister and couldn't be really angry with you. The last time Xiangrong woke up, she mentioned your marriage. She said that she might not be able to make it to your wedding day, so she asked me to prepare a dowry for you. That's all the money she saved from managing the embroidery shop in Ji'an County. I've prepared it for you. You can take it with you when you leave. It can't compare to the money of the royal family, but it's her intention after all."
Fen Dai could no longer hold back the blood in her chest, and it spurted out. She almost fell down after a few swaying movements, but Ren Xifeng was quick to hold her up. She steadied herself and waved to Ren Xifeng, "I'm fine." Then she staggered into the room, and when she saw Xiangrong lying on the bed with a pale face, tears started to flow.
Among the children of the Feng family, apart from Feng Yuheng and Feng Xiangrong, no other two could help and care for each other. Feng Fendai never thought that she would cry for Feng Xiangrong one day. She always thought that it would be better if all the people in the Feng family died. That mansion did not leave her with any good thoughts. She hated everyone in that mansion.
But time passed, and one day she would grow up. She had come of age two months ago, and now she was a big girl who could get married. Then, she understood what family affection was, what sisters were, and what regret was.
She threw herself on Xiangrong's couch, and in an instant, those childhood memories that had been deliberately sealed away came flooding back into her mind from the corners. She held Xiangrong's hand and wanted to say something, but her thoughts were all confused, all about childhood memories, where should she start?
Finally, she spoke up. She started by saying that when she was four years old, the two sisters sneaked out of the house and saw a family getting married... "At that time, we said that we would get married together when we grow up! We were born in the same year, so we should get married together. Later, when we went home again, we failed to sneak back through the back door, and our father found us and wanted to beat us. It was only after our mother, Madam Yao, interceded for us that we were spared a beating. I still remember you, third sister, saying that mother was so gentle, much better than father. That was our little secret. Every time father scolded us, we would secretly say bad things about him."
"Third sister, do you remember that we once secretly threw a bug under Feng Chenyu's skirt because we heard her say that she was the most beautiful person in the world and that she also said bad things about the second sister behind her back. Feng Chenyu was so scared that she cried and went to my father to complain. My father didn't have any other ideas at that time. He just thought that she was prettier than us and would be more useful to the Feng family in the future than us, so he favored Feng Chenyu and punished us. That time, you took the blame alone and took my blame as well. You were punished to kneel in the Buddhist temple for three days and three nights and were not allowed to eat. I went to bring you food in the middle of the night and found that the door of the Buddhist temple was locked, so I wanted to climb through the window. As a result, I didn't climb well and broke a tooth."
"Although my aunt was favored when she was young, our lives were not that good. Aunt An had an embroidery shop, but my aunt was born in a poor family and had nothing. My father doted on her but refused to give her anything substantial, not much jewelry, and never gave her any money. On my fifth birthday, my third sister gave me an embroidered handkerchief. The pattern on it made even the old lady salivate. I loved it so much that I still have it now."
"Third sister, I'm getting married, but why did you fall asleep? Didn't we agree to get married together? Get up, don't be like this, I'm telling you, the Seventh Prince will not die, he is a god, how could he die? You can't just listen to rumors, get up quickly, what if the Seventh Prince comes back and doesn't see you? Also, Xuan Tianyan said that the Second Sister will definitely come back before the New Year, you should at least wait a while, there are only a few days left, at least listen to her tell you in person what happened, what's the point of dying like this? Third sister! Feng Xiangrong!" She broke down emotionally, becoming more and more excited as she spoke, and in the end she actually shouted loudly and miserably: "Feng Xiangrong, if you die like this, the Seventh Prince will not forgive you when he comes back! The Second Sister won't forgive you either! Feng Xiangrong, I'm so bad and I didn't die, how can you die!"
Fendai cried loudly, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the years. But as she cried, she felt as if a hand was gently rubbing her head, and a weak voice came from above her head, saying to her: "Silly girl, sister is not dead yet!"
Fendai was overjoyed, and so were all the others. An was so happy that she covered her face and cried. Xiangrong had woken up, and the doctor said that as long as she could wake up, she could still survive for a few more days. She no longer expected the doctor to cure Xiangrong, and only hoped that she could survive until Feng Yuheng returned to Beijing. Now that she had woken up, she felt like she had her daughter back again. She laughed and cried at the same time, and said, "The fourth young lady still has a way."
"Third sister." Fendai held Xiangrong's hand, sobbing uncontrollably and unable to speak.
Xiangrong smiled at her and said, "You are right. I can't die. I have to wait until my second sister comes back."
Fen Dai was angry: "You only care about my second sister. You don't even think about me. Have you forgotten what we said when we were little? It's fine that you can't marry with me, but now I'm getting married, you can't hide away, can you? I know I did a lot of wrong things in the past, but who said that I wouldn't bother when I was little? Who said that a sister must always remember her younger sister? Who said that no matter what mistakes a younger sister makes, she can be forgiven? You can't just want my second sister and not me!"
Xiang Rong laughed, "Silly girl, how could I forget? I have prepared a lot of dowry for you. My little sister can't be looked down upon when she gets married. Don't worry, I will try my best to survive, at least until your wedding, and accompany you to Prince Li's mansion. I can't let you get married alone."
Under the influence of Feng Fendai, Xiangrong finally woke up. The doctors of Baicaotang and the imperial doctors in the palace came forward and conducted another round of examinations on her. Finally, An heard some comforting news. The doctor told her: "As long as you can keep a good attitude, you can at least make it to the New Year. When the master comes back, everything will be fine."
An was anxious. She asked Feng Fendai, "You just said that the Fifth Prince said that the Second Miss would be back before the New Year. Is that true?"
Fendai nodded: "It's true. It's the news he got from his mansion. His Highness the Ninth Prince's carriage has already passed Pengzhou."
Only then did An breathe a sigh of relief. If they passed Pengzhou, they would arrive in three days if they could walk quickly, and they would definitely be able to reach Beijing before the New Year.
Everyone was very happy when Xiangrong woke up. Fendai took the initiative to stay with her. The two sisters talked about their past experiences in Feng Mansion, and there were laughs from time to time.
People are so strange. When I lived in Feng Mansion in the past, my life was only about Feng Mansion. So I felt that everything in Feng Mansion was closely related to my destiny. I would care about every little thing and even argue over a piece of clothing.
Now I walked out of Feng Mansion and saw the vast sky outside. Then I looked back at the road I had walked before. All the past that I once cared about was now only met with shrugs and smiles.
They no longer cared. Xiangrong no longer cared, and Fendai no longer cared. As for Feng Yuheng, she had never cared at all. Fendai said, "Second sister is still the wisest. She sees things clearly and far. I am the dumbest. I am like a clown who is despised by everyone in the end." △≧.*(.*)△≧,
When Xiangrong looked at her, he felt that this girl had really grown up, as if she had become sensible overnight. Thinking about the past, all that was left was to laugh off the grudges and bless each other from now on.
Xiaobao was taken to play in the courtyard by the servants. The Princess's Mansion was full of scenery, and the child was having a lot of fun. An Shi had always been kind-hearted. She had prepared several new clothes for Xiaobao even though he was only staying for a few days. She even cooked Xiaobao's favorite food in the kitchen. When the fifth prince Xuan Tianyan came to visit Xiangrong and Fendai, he saw that Xiaobao had grown several circumferences in just a few days.
He sighed, "It seems that children can only be best taken care of by their elders. Although Fendai is the elder sister, she is still an unmarried girl and does not know how to take better care of children."
An just smiled and didn't say much. She took Xuan Tianyan to see Xiangrong, and then left him and Fendai to talk alone.
Fendai said to him apologetically, "I want to spend the New Year at the Princess's Mansion to accompany my third sister. Over in the small courtyard..."
"No problem." Xuan Tianyan waved his hand quickly, "We will be married soon, and we will spend every New Year together in the future. There is no need to worry about this. I am so happy that you can stay with your sister. What I want to see most is that you sisters get along as well as you did in childhood. I am proud of you for taking this step."
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xuantian Mingfeng Yuheng returned to Beijing...
