Feng Yuheng felt guilty about Yao. She promised the original owner to avenge her, but was killed by Feng Jinyuan on the way back to Beijing. She was determined to be the enemy of Feng Mansion from then on. She actually wanted to get close to Yao, not for anything else, but just because of her body's most instinctive reaction and Yao's face that was exactly the same as her mother in her previous life, so she couldn't remain indifferent to this woman.
But she was too cautious, and had too many enemies. Feng Yuheng was never afraid of those people becoming her enemies, but she was always worried about their indirect revenge. She sent Zirui to Xiaozhou, and kept Yao Shi firmly in the Princess's Mansion, under her nose, but she never dared to get too close to her, because she was afraid that people with ulterior motives would see her deep affection for her mother and brother, and then try every means to attack them.
But what's the point of not being close? She and they have the closest blood relationship after all, whether close or not, the fact is there. She had realized it since the last time Yao was poisoned by the Soul-Separating Powder, but it was too late.
Deliberate avoidance gradually alienated Yao from her. Mothers are the most sensitive, especially to their daughters. They can see even the slightest change. No matter how indifferent the original owner was, she was very close to her mother. She had revealed her true colors without realizing it, and only realized it today.
Feng Yuheng held Yao's hand and said softly, "He didn't die, but he didn't live happily. Mother was very brave. That knife stabbed him in the vitals, and the man's foundation was ruined."
She spoke in a narrative tone, as if she was talking about an insignificant matter. The atmosphere was relaxed and she even had a faint smile on her face.
Feng Yuheng heard Ban Zou mention an incident yesterday. That day, she was drunk in Xianya Tower. On the way back to the mansion, she met Xuan Tianming who had just returned from the camp. Xuan Tianming felt very distressed when he saw her like that, and rushed to the Princess's Mansion to find Yao to help her settle the score. Xuan Tianming talked a lot with Yao, telling her that he had taught her all these kung fu, and that he and her had known each other in the mountains of the northwest, so it was not surprising that she knew so many powerful martial arts now.
Feng Yuheng thought that Yao Shi returned to the Feng family with the purpose of killing Feng Jinyuan. She must have figured it out and wanted to seek justice for her children and avenge the Northwest for those years. Although she was almost killed by the knife, Feng Yuheng was still happy in her heart. Yao Shi finally figured it out and finally stopped rejecting her. She even stopped worrying about whether she was a father or not. She took up the knife and chopped off the shameless Feng Jinyuan. So from now on, the estrangement between them as mother and daughter will be solved, right?
She was a little excited, and when she spoke again, her voice was a little urgent: "Don't worry, mother, Ah Heng has cured you. We only need to recuperate for a few more days before we can return to the Princess's Mansion. In the future, Ah Heng will take good care of mother and will not let mother suffer any harm again."
She went from being anxious to speaking softly, and in the end, she even tried to please her. At this moment, Feng Yuheng really wanted to please Yao. As long as Yao was fine and stopped thinking about the truth and falsehood, she would live a good life with her. However, no matter where she was, she would remember that she still had a mother at home.
Feng Yuheng looked at Yao with full confidence and enthusiasm, but soon, the fiery enthusiasm gradually cooled down in Yao's cold and unfamiliar eyes. She saw alienation, despair, and helplessness in Yao's eyes.
She was a little scared and asked in a trembling voice, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Yao finally took back her cold gaze from Feng Yuheng and stared at the top of the bed blankly. After a long while, she finally spoke, coldly saying, "Thank you for your kindness. I won't go back to the Princess's Mansion. Now that my father has returned to the capital, I will live with him. I don't have the ability to avenge my daughter, and I don't want to drag you down anymore. You are a man who can do great things. Without me, you can live more freely."
Feng Yuheng's hands trembled violently, and a deep chill spread from head to toe, making her teeth chatter.
"Mother, what are you talking about? Your daughter doesn't understand."
Yao looked at her again, frowning slightly, looking very seriously. But in the end, she still shook her head and sighed softly, "My daughter is dead."
Feng Yuheng almost screamed like crazy, "No! I am your daughter! I am your daughter!" As she spoke, she touched her face with her hands, and lifted all the loose hair on her forehead. Then she pointed at her face and kept saying to Yao: "Look, look carefully, what's different? Why do you always say that I'm not your daughter? I am Ah Heng! The real thing, no doubt about it!" She almost shouted at the end: "Mom, why don't you recognize me, why don't you recognize me! Woo"
For the first time, she burst into tears in front of Yao. At the end of her speech, she made a slip of the tongue. Looking at Yao's face, she called out "Mom". Yao was originally observing her face carefully at her signal, and she was even a little dazed. The same face, who else could this be but her Ah Heng?
But the word "mother" quickly broke Yao's trance. She regained consciousness and immediately shook her head and said, "No! I am a mother. I will recognize the child I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. Although you look exactly like her, and although your body is indeed hers, but... you are not my Ah Heng after all. But thank you for living for her. Maybe she is living for someone else at this moment. If I recognize you now, if my Ah Heng comes back one day, she will be without a mother."
Feng Yuheng, who was already on the verge of collapse, was suddenly stunned, as if she was poured with ice-cold water from head to toe. The chill became more and more severe, so severe that she could hardly stand.
After all, mother and daughter are connected by heart. Yao, did she discover something?
Bu Cong had once raised the same doubt to her. She was a little worried at first, but after seeing Yu Qianyin's disguise skills, she knew that Bu Cong's doubts were limited to the level of disguise, but Yao Shi, through this face and this body, truly saw the essence.
She was a little flustered, because she was guilty. Suddenly, someone exposed her so clearly that Feng Yuheng didn't know how to continue the conversation.
She staggered back two steps, tripped over a chair, and fell to the ground with a plop. Yao's eyes showed a trace of pity, but Feng Yuheng understood that the pity was not for her, but she just felt sorry for this body and was afraid that she would damage it.
Tears fell down in big drops, totally out of control. She had so much grievance in her heart but nowhere to vent. She wanted to ask someone to find Yao Xian. Only her grandfather could understand her and not treat her as a monster. But Huang Quan didn't sleep last night, so she sent him to rest. Ban Zou should be nearby, but she had already ordered that Ban Zou should not show up when she was talking to Yao.
Now, facing this most fundamental problem alone, Feng Yuheng felt so powerless, as if if Yao said a few more words, she would have to leave her body and return it to her. She was like a child who had stolen something, standing in front of the owner, accepting the owner's accusations, without the ability to quibble.
She just sat on the ground and cried non-stop. She didn't know how long she cried. Later, perhaps Yao softened her heart and took the initiative to say to her, "Don't be like this. I won't tell anyone."
Feng Yuheng's brain nerves were severely stimulated again, and suddenly she felt pain. She sat on the ground holding her head and began to shiver.
Yao asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
She wanted to say she was fine, but her headache was so severe that she couldn't speak.
Yao was used to Feng Yuheng's strong appearance, and never thought that she would get sick, become weak, and be so isolated and helpless one day. Therefore, she didn't think Feng Yuheng was really having a headache. She thought Feng Yuheng was pretending, and was deliberately acting like that for her to see in order to gain sympathy. Her face became even darker, and she spoke again, coldly saying: "I have already said that I will not expose you, what else do you want? Do you have to force me to perform a play of motherly love and filial piety with you? I can't do it, I really can't do it. I won't ask you where my Ah Heng is, I just beg you, let me go."
The more Feng Yuheng listened, the more she felt cold and desperate. She felt a sense of collapse that surged over her aching brain nerves. She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she suddenly raised her head, stared at Yao and said loudly: "Then ask! If you ask me, I will tell you! I tell you, the real Feng Yuheng died in a mass grave in the northwest wilderness. A man and a woman in that broken village drugged her and threw her in the mass grave, preparing to drag her out at night and sell her to Zuihualou! But they never expected that Feng Yuheng's body was too weak, and the drug that was not fatal was poison to her. She was killed by the couple, and before she left, she asked me to avenge her." She screamed at Yao, "Do you know what revenge she wants to take? Not that couple, she wants me to avenge her Feng family, she wants me to seek justice for her from the Feng family! She hates the Feng family the most!"
She used up her last bit of strength to say these words, and the painful nerve in her brain began to work desperately again. She was in so much pain that tears flowed uncontrollably. Yao, who was lying on the bed, was so shocked by the truth that her mouth was wide open and she couldn't utter a word.
Feng Yuheng spoke out the truth about the original owner's death for the first time. She didn't want to tell anyone, but she couldn't get past the Yao family. She felt that if she didn't tell the truth, she would never get past it. But what happened after she told it? She had a splitting headache and didn't really have the energy to think about what to do next. But there seemed to be a knock on the door, one by one, getting more and more urgent.
She tried her best to calm herself down and listened, and soon she recognized Zirui's voice. The child was calling out, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you crying? Open the door quickly and let me in!"
The child didn't know how long she had been shouting. Later, she heard a "bang" and the door was violently kicked open. Then, a gust of wind rushed over, and a pair of strong and steady arms embraced her. A familiar big hand kept stroking her head.
In a trance, she heard Xuan Tianming say: "Heng Heng, don't be afraid. Even if everyone in the world doesn't recognize you, I will."
