Feng Yuheng investigated heaven and earth, but she still couldn't investigate Xuan Tianhua behind the scenes. She knew that Yu Qianyin was suspicious, and that something was fishy, but she couldn't do it. She didn't know from which angle to investigate this matter. That person was Xuan Tianhua, not her fiancé, not Xuan Tianming who could let her do whatever she wanted. He was a god-like person, so good, so good... She didn't know how to deal with this matter.
That's all. She sighed softly, "I have to trust Brother Seven. If he doesn't tell me, I won't ask or investigate." She seemed to be talking to Wangchuan, but more of the words were spoken to herself.
Wang Chuan knew that Feng Yuheng was upset, so he still asked, "What about the third young lady?"
She said, "Let the girl think about it carefully. If she can't cultivate a proud character, I can't help her. What's more, I can't protect her forever. People have to rely on themselves."
Xiangrong also knew that people always have to rely on themselves. But she didn't know how to rely on herself. She couldn't understand why her second sister was only two years older than her, but she felt more powerful than her aunt? Could there really be such a gap of two years?
After leaving the County Lady's Mansion, she did not return to Feng Mansion. This girl never dared to go out alone. Perhaps she was stimulated today, and she walked to the street in a daze. When she came to her senses, she was already standing in front of An's embroidery shop.
The shop was not big, but it was doing quite well. The monthly surplus was enough to subsidize An and Xiangrong, and they could also save some money. It was with this that An saved a fairly generous dowry for Xiangrong.
Xiangrong stood at the door of the embroidery shop, thinking about what An said, that when she got married, this shop would be her dowry. Even if she was not favored by her husband in the future and had no children to rely on, with this shop, she would not starve to death.
But Xiangrong actually didn't want it. First of all, this shop was An's support. If she took it away, what would happen to An? Living in the Feng family, where people are eaten without leaving bones, how could she survive without a source of income? Moreover, what would it matter if she took it away? If her future husband didn't love her, what was the point of her having this shop? Is being alive really that important?
I was thinking about this in a trance. At this moment, I heard a clear voice coming from the shop. It was a girl saying, "That handkerchief is really beautiful. I want it."
Xiangrong looked into the shop again and saw a girl in a lake blue dress standing in the shop. She pointed at an embroidered handkerchief and said to the clerk, "You can pay any price. I want that handkerchief."
The waiter said apologetically, "Miss, I'm so sorry, this handkerchief was ordered by someone else, so I'm afraid I can't sell it to you. Why don't you take a look again? If you find something else you like, I'll charge you less money."
The girl didn't say anything for a long time. Xiangrong frowned and wanted to go in to help persuade them. At this time, the girl's voice finally came: "It's okay, I'll come again another day. If that person doesn't want it, give it to me. If it's taken away, I'll come back to pick something else." As she spoke, her straightforward nature was evident.
Xiangrong was a little envious. There were very few women with such a good temper and straightforwardness. She was a bit like her second sister, and also like that princess Xuan Tiange.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the woman turned around and walked out of the shop. He was startled, and it seemed that his breathing stopped for a moment.
That's... the woman next to His Highness the Seventh Prince. What's her name? My second sister said it was... Yu Qianyin.
She was stunned in the spot, and just then Yu Qianyin came out and bumped into her. The woman saw Xiangrong and seemed to try to recall it, then suddenly she exclaimed "Ah", pointed at Xiangrong and said: "I've seen you before, at the gate of the county lady's mansion, you are the county lady's sister, right?"
Xiangrong didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to talk to her. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond, but Yu Qianyin was lively. It didn't matter if Xiangrong didn't speak. She could chat on her own. So she opened her mouth again and asked directly: "My name is Yu Qianyin, what's your name?"
Xiangrong was stunned and said, "My name... is Feng Xiangrong."
"Feng Xiangrong, what a good name." Yu Qianyin's praise was very sincere. Then she looked at Xiangrong and praised sincerely, "You look good too. Brother Qi mentioned you before."
When she said this, a nerve in Xiangrong's heart was touched, and he subconsciously asked, "What did the Seventh Prince say about me?"
Yu Qianyin walked forward with a smile on her face, and Xiangrong followed her without a second thought. Yu Qianyin walked fast, and Xiangrong held up her skirt all the way, fearing that she would lose her.
Fortunately, Yu Qianyin did not keep her in suspense and quickly told her: "Seventh Brother said that Princess Ji'an has two younger sisters at home, and she is very close to one of them."
"That's it?" Xiang Rong was unwilling to give up. "Is that all His Highness the Seventh Prince said?"
Yu Qianyin blinked, as if she saw something in Xiangrong's eyes. She was slightly stunned, but quickly returned to normal, then smiled and said, "There's more! Seventh Brother said that he had met the sister who was on good terms with the county lord a few times. She was a very cute girl."
As soon as these words came out, Xiangrong's heart trembled a few times, her cheeks flushed, and her steps became chaotic. However, Yu Qianyin's constant calling of "Seventh Brother" made her irritated, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only follow along and watch Yu Qianyin's curiosity about the capital city.
Soon, the two of them were on a small bridge, with water flowing slowly below, which was quite refreshing in such a hot summer. Yu Qianyin looked very happy, pulling Xiangrong to run on the bridge, saying as she ran: "Don't be so depressed, don't always take small steps, run, run against the wind, that's the feeling of freedom. When I first met Brother Qi, he pulled me forward like this, and I thought at that time, if there was no end in front of me, I would be willing to keep running like this."
Just as she was thinking about this, her legs suddenly went weak for no apparent reason. Coincidentally, a wedding sedan chair was being carried over from the other side of the bridge, with music playing, which made her feel upset.
The bridge was a bit narrow, so Yu Qianyin pulled Xiangrong to the side and said, "It's a wedding! Let them cross first."
But the sedan bearer was not very good, his foot slipped and his shoulder bumped into Xiangrong. Xiangrong's legs were weak to begin with, and he couldn't stand still, and he leaned back and fell directly under the bridge.
Yu Qianyin was frightened and shouted loudly - "Feng Xiangrong!" Then she stretched out her arm to pull, but unfortunately, she only touched half of Xiangrong's clothes.
Xiangrong fell backwards, watching Yu Qianyin reach out her hand but fail to catch her, and then she could only stand on the bridge and anxiously call her name. Suddenly, she thought that if her second sister was there, she would definitely fly up, jump directly from the bridge, grab her, and then fly back to the bridge with her. This Yu Qianyin was not as good as her second sister.
She closed her eyes and waited to jump into the water. She was even prepared to drown.
Unfortunately, the sound of splashing water did not come for a long time. Before his back touched the water surface, he was steadily lifted up by a big hand, and then suddenly flew into the air and rushed to the side.
Xiangrong was frightened and opened her eyes quickly, but she saw a man's face. The man looked to be less than 20 years old, with a heroic look. He held her up like a kitten, and she didn't feel that he was exerting any effort at all. He landed her back to the ground steadily, causing the people who were shocked by her falling into the water to applaud.
Xiangrong's face flushed, and she quickly jumped off him, stepped back a few steps, and then bowed respectfully: "Thank you for saving my life, young master."
The man didn't say anything. She became puzzled, stood up straight and looked up, but she felt that the man in front of her looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
She tilted her head to think seriously, but after thinking for a long time, she found nothing. At this time, the lifesaver spoke, and heard him say: "You don't have to thank me. It is my duty to save my fiancée. However, as the daughter of the Feng family, you are really like this.
It’s a little too weak now.”
Xiangrong's nerves trembled, and when he looked at the other person again, he suddenly realized! No wonder he looked familiar, this person was Bu Cong, the leader of the East Realm who had just been announced to be engaged to her, Bu Cong.
She was a little at a loss, lowered her head, and didn't want to talk to the other party anymore, but she kept thinking about what Bu Cong had just said.
Too weak, and another person said she was too weak. Was she really so weak that she was a burden to the people around her? But how could she become stronger?
While thinking nonsense, Yu Qianyin also ran down from the bridge, circled around Xiangrong twice, and then let out a long sigh: "Fortunately you are okay, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the county lady. I'm glad you are okay. I promised my seventh brother that I would go back to the mansion for dinner, so I'll leave first."
Yu Qianyin really left without saying anything. When Xiangrong came to her senses, she had already walked a long way. Xiangrong frowned slightly, looked at Bu Cong again, and said, "Thank you, General Bu, for saving my life. I'm going back too." After saying that, she imitated Yu Qianyin and left without saying anything.
Bu Cong looked at the receding figure with cold eyes and shook his head slowly. He thought, Feng Jinyuan, Feng Jinyuan, you have a really good idea. If the Bu family didn't want to bet all their treasures on the fourth prince, he really didn't want to get married. But thinking about it again, the girl's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Feng Yuheng, but she pulled the corner of her lips lightly, and her eyes were no longer so cold.
Xiangrong fled all the way back to Feng Mansion. An didn't know where she went. She just thought she had been at Tongshengxuan. Knowing that she was upset, she didn't ask much.
But no one expected that not long after Xiang Rong returned home, a maid came outside to report: "Miss San, General Bu sent someone to deliver something to you."
This was good news to An, so she quickly smiled and let the person in. However, Xiangrong couldn't figure out what Bu Cong meant. He had clearly criticized her to nothing by the river, so why did he turn around and send her gifts?
At this time, the maid had already led the visitor into the house. The visitor was holding a few fruit boxes in his hands. He said to Xiangrong expressionlessly, "Miss San, this is a gift from General Bu to calm you down."
Xiangrong frowned and didn't want to accept it. An didn't understand what a gift to calm her nerves was. When had Xiangrong been frightened? Just as she was about to ask someone to take the gift away, another maid ran in and said hurriedly, "Miss San, Prince Chun's Mansion sent someone to deliver something to you—"
