What four-year-old child? He is clearly a dwarf, a dwarf whose facial features have stopped growing along with his body.
Feng Yuheng's eyes shot out a brilliant light, which circled around the face of the dwarf in front of him. The dwarf was smart, and he pulled back his wrist and put his arms around Yao's neck again, and cried like a child: "Sister is so scary, I want my mother." As he spoke, tears fell.
Yao quickly hugged him and gently scolded Feng Yuheng: "Don't scare him. This child's parents were killed by criminals. We can't just leave him alone."
This is what Feng Yuheng feared, and she said to Yao helplessly, "Saving him is already a moral obligation, mother, do you want to adopt him?"
"It's not impossible!" Yao's eyes were filled with hope. It's fate that we met. Ah Heng, you can't always be so hard-hearted."
Feng Yuheng frowned and looked at Yao. To be honest, she felt very aggrieved at this moment. Since returning to the Feng Mansion, she had been desperately dealing with the Feng family in order to protect her mother and brother. Even Yao's divorce letter was obtained by her using her grace to exchange with the emperor. In the end, her mother accused her of being cruel.
She was unwilling in her heart and said casually: "If I didn't hate it, the three of us would have been eaten by that Feng Mansion long ago!"
Yao knew that her words were too harsh and she regretted it a little. But Feng Yuheng had already ordered Wang Chuan to take the child away from her. The child's crying was so heartbreaking that it broke her heart.
She ignored Feng Yuheng's emotions and simply stood up and said forcefully: "I must keep him here. If you think it's inappropriate for him to stay in your county lord's mansion, then I can take her to an inn. When you finish your business, I will take him to Xiaozhou."
"Madam!" Wang Chuan couldn't bear to hear it any longer, "The County Lady's Mansion is also your home."
"But I don't even have the power to take a child back with me." Yao and Feng Yuheng were competing with each other and refused to give in.
Looking at the mother in front of her, Feng Yuheng suddenly laughed. Although they had a very similar face, Yao was not her mother who had passed away many years ago. She had taken over the body of the original owner, and the changes she brought to this body could not escape the mother's. Yao had already seen that something was wrong, but she had been holding back and not saying anything. I guess this was a kind of tolerance towards her.
"Mother," she said, "If you could be so strong when facing the Feng family in the past, the three of us wouldn't have been driven to the northwest and suffered for so many years. Now you have the ability to protect a child of unknown origin, why couldn't you protect me and Zirui like you do now?" Her words were cold and emotionless. "Forget it, if you want to keep him, then keep him. He can also live with you in the county lord's mansion. It's not only my mansion, but also your home." As she said this, she turned around and walked towards the imperial carriage, saying, "Wangchuan, Madam is weak, let the child sit with us."
Seeing that she finally agreed, Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly persuaded the dwarf to go with Wangchuan. Although the dwarf was not very happy, he knew that it was very difficult to be left behind, so he obediently followed Wangchuan to the palace carriage.
Yao watched them get on the imperial carriage, and then she returned to her own carriage with Qinglan's help. When the carriage started moving again, she asked Qinglan in a daze, "Do you think she is angry with me?"
"Madam, are you talking about the young lady?" Qinglan tried to persuade her: "How could that be? The young lady treats you the best. She doesn't want to take care of the child because she's afraid of danger. Madam, please don't think too much about it."
"Am I overthinking it?" Yao said to herself, "Zi Rui and I are always a burden to her. Who knows, one day she might get upset and no longer want to bear this responsibility, and she will throw us away."
Qinglan was frightened by her and kept trying to persuade her, fearing that Yao would say something excessive. What if the second young lady got wind of it and got angry?
How could she know that even if Feng Yuheng couldn't hear what Yao was thinking, she could guess it almost exactly. After this time of being in the Soul-Separating Powder, Yao's temperament had changed compared to before. The person who was so submissive and delicate before now knew how to resist, but this resistance was not directed at others, but at her own daughter.
Feng Yuheng was unhappy, and sat in the palace carriage leaning against Xuan Tianming. The dwarf was led by Huang Quan and Wang Chuan, and was quite obedient, but his little eyes moved around and stayed on Xuan Tianming's legs for a long time.
Although Huang Quan did not get out of the car, he saw the whole process of what happened just now. He did not have a good impression of this dwarf at all. Seeing his eyes rolling around, he scolded him harshly: "What are you looking at? If you keep looking around, I will dig your eyeballs out!"
The dwarf pretended to shudder and pouted as if he was about to cry, but then he heard Xuan Tianming say, "This king hates people crying in front of him the most." As he spoke, he fiddled with the whip in his hand and stared at the dwarf and said, "If you don't believe me, try it. If you dare to make a noise, I'll see if I can whip you in two."
Wangchuan felt a little bloody. Although the child had upset the young lady, he was still young and didn't know much. She didn't dare to say anything to Xuan Tianming, so she could only pull the dwarf and said calmly, "Come sit over here."
The dwarf's shrunk mouth was frightened by Xuan Tianming and puffed up again. He didn't dare to shed a single tear. Feng Yuheng turned his back and said silently to Xuan Tianming with his lips: "It's not a child, it's a dwarf whose body and appearance have not grown."
Xuan Tianming didn't show much surprise. He just nodded, looked at the dwarf again, and then asked in confusion: "Are you hot?"
When he asked this question, people discovered that the child was sweating all over. Although he tried his best to control himself, he still couldn't stop the sweat from flowing out through his skin glands.
Wang Chuan frowned. "Although it is the dog days of summer, we haven't left the mountain yet. The mountain breeze is a bit cool, but it shouldn't be this hot."
Feng Yuheng suddenly thought of something, glanced at Xuan Tianming, and saw that he nodded imperceptibly, then he said: "We feel cool, but for people who are used to staying in cooler places, it is really hot and unbearable."
As soon as these words came out, the dwarf was obviously startled, then turned his head away and stopped looking at Feng Yuheng.
She also leaned lazily against the carriage, crossing her legs, but her eyes never left the dwarf.
Wang Chuan saw through the clue and cast a questioning look at her. Feng Yuheng couldn't explain dwarfism to her immediately, so he just lip-synched two words: Qian Zhou.
Wangchuan was shocked. Huangquan also saw Feng Yuheng's mouth shape and subconsciously wanted to catch the dwarf, but was stopped by Wangchuan. "You are very active. You can play as you like after getting off the car. Don't scare the child now." As he said that, he winked at Huangquan. Huangquan understood and smiled and sat down on the other side of the dwarf. The two of them took one on each side and sandwiched the dwarf in the middle.
The carriage continued to move forward, and after nearly two hours, they had left the mountainous area and gradually could hear the sound of flowing river.
Feng Yuheng said: "I have a lot of feelings for the river we are about to see. The first time I was in trouble after returning to the capital was when I was forced to jump into that river, right, Wangchuan."
Wangchuan nodded, "Yes, thanks to His Highness the Seventh Prince for passing by and saving us. Miss, do you want to take a rest by the river?" She could see what Feng Yuheng was thinking.
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "Great! We are tired from the journey, it's time to take a break."
As he spoke, the sound of running water became clearer. Wang Chuan walked outside the carriage and gave the driver an order. He then shouted at the other carriage, and the two carriages drove straight to the riverside and stopped after a while.
Huang Quan took the initiative to carry the dwarf out of the car, Feng Yuheng pushed Xuan Tianming's wheelchair, and on the other side, Qinglan also helped Yao get out of the car.
As soon as the dwarf saw Yao, he tried to go over, but Huang Quan refused to let go. He struggled several times to no avail, and simply shouted, "Mother! Mother!"
Xuan Tianming reminded him: "You can eat anything you want, but you can't say anything you want, and you can't recognize anyone you want. Who is your mother?"
Yao also heard this, but she dared to refute Feng Yuheng, but she didn't dare to compete with Xuan Tianming at all, so she just pretended not to hear it and walked over to take the child from Huang Quan.
Huang Quan looked at Feng Yuheng and saw that he shook his head slightly, so he quickly stepped back two steps and said, "Madam, this child is dirty, let me hold him! I will wash him well when we get back, and then let him accompany you."
Yao was a little unhappy. She felt that Feng Yuheng was too nosy. But she herself hadn't realized that Feng Yuheng was nosy before she was poisoned by the Soul-Separating Powder, but she thought it was natural and was happy to listen to her daughter's arrangements. Since he was poisoned by the Soul-Separating Powder, although he is fine now, his temperament has changed a lot. Even Qinglan could see this change, but she herself could not detect it.
Feng Yuheng pushed Xuan Tianming forward and stopped at the river. She picked a high stone and sat down, saying, "It's really cool." Then she glanced at the dwarf, who was still sweating. She smiled and asked, "You've never experienced summer, right? It's really hard for you. You have to perform such a flawed play in such a hot day. I feel exhausted just thinking about it."
The dwarf looked at Feng Yuheng warily and lowered his head in an aggrieved manner.
Huang Quan snorted coldly and threw him to the ground. The dwarf was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a thud, falling hard and even losing two of his front teeth.
Yao screamed, rushed forward regardless, picked him up from the ground, and shouted at Huang Quan: "How did you do that? You are so clumsy!" She looked down and saw that the child's front teeth were gone. She felt uncomfortable again. "I have been following your young lady for a long time, and I have learned to be cold and indifferent. The child is so young, how could you do that to him?"
Feng Yuheng suddenly stood up. Yao shivered with fear. She saw her walking towards her step by step. She stretched out her hand and pulled the dwarf to her side with a sudden force.
The dwarf was originally crying loudly because of the pain of losing a tooth, but was suddenly pulled by Feng Yuheng, and he was so scared that he held back his tears.
Feng Yuheng said, "Don't worry, mother. I see that the child is sweating all over. Take him to the river to wash." After that, without waiting for Yao's reaction, he pulled the dwarf away. When they reached the river, he pushed the man's face into the water. When he lifted it up again, his face was not only not washed clean, but also covered with a lot of mud.
The dwarf finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly turned his head to look at Feng Yuheng, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and veins on his head bulging.
Feng Yuheng laughed immediately, "Why, do you think washing by the river is not clean enough? Then I will take you to the middle of the river to wash."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly grabbed the dwarf by the collar, jumped up suddenly, and using her half-baked Qinggong skills that she had only just learned, she flew directly to the middle of the river.
Yao was shocked and wanted to call her to come back quickly, but suddenly she found that Feng Yuheng's figure was shaking, and she seemed to be flying unsteadily, and she turned twice in space. The person in her hand also turned twice, and then there was a "plop" sound, and the dwarf was thrown into the river by Feng Yuheng—— The daughter of the genius doctor
