Feng Yuheng didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and took Huang Quan out of Prince Yu's Mansion and got on the palace carriage to rush to his own residence.
Huang Quan told her: "After our mansion reported the news, Wangchuan went back first. Alas, I can't understand why Madam suddenly went back to the mansion? Didn't the old man say that she was not allowed to leave the little house?"
Feng Yuheng was helpless. She didn't know why Yao suddenly left the house today and went to the Princess's Mansion, and she happened to see Fu Ya in the Princess's Mansion.
When she woke up this morning, Huang Quan told her the bad news. Feng Yuheng felt a headache! As for Fu Ya, she originally planned to take her to see Yao, but she was still considering when to meet her, in what way and with what identity. Since Yao was poisoned last time, her nerves have been more sensitive, especially when it comes to her problems, she has a strong rejection. So much so that she has not dared to go to see her since she returned to Beijing, for fear of irritating Yao's nerves that have finally recovered.
But she didn't expect that Fu Ya was discovered by Yao first. She really didn't know what kind of chaos was going on in the Princess's Mansion right now.
After several urgings, the imperial carriage finally arrived at the gate of the Princess's Mansion. When Feng Yuheng got off the car, she thought that a guard would come to report about the Yao family immediately, but after standing under the car for a long time, the imperial guards guarding the gate did not say much except to greet her respectfully and warmly, which surprised Feng Yuheng.
When they entered the courtyard, Qingyu came forward first and said to Feng Yuheng with a smile, "Miss, I just came from Bai Qiaojiang and brought two repaired jewelry." As she spoke, she pulled Feng Yuheng to the inner courtyard and whispered, "Madam is back, but she mistook Miss Fu Ya for you and dragged her to the original courtyard to chat. The servants looked at her and it seemed that she was completely sure that the girl was her daughter and forced her to call her mother."
Feng Yuheng couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. She felt a little uncomfortable, after all, Yao had the same face as her mother in her previous life. But at the same time, she was relieved. If Yao could regard Fu Ya as a psychological support, it wouldn't be a bad thing. But she didn't know how Yao would treat her when she stood in front of the two of them. After all, she couldn't pretend to be confused. She felt that it was better to make some things clear.
The three of them walked step by step to the courtyard where Yao originally lived. As soon as they entered, they saw Wang Chuan standing in the courtyard, looking calmly at the two people sitting in the small pavilion in the courtyard. Seeing Feng Yuheng coming, he hurried forward and whispered, "Miss, you are back."
Huang Quan noticed that Wang Chuan looked a little unhappy. He looked calm just now, but now he looked a little aggrieved. So he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Wang Chuan sighed softly and said, "I'm fine, but I feel sorry for the young lady." She pointed to the pavilion and said, "Madam has now completely treated Miss Fu Ya as her own daughter. If I hadn't stopped them, they would have gone to the young lady's room to sit and talk."
Feng Yuheng frowned slightly and looked towards the pavilion, only to see Yao holding Fu Ya's hand, with the corners of her lips naturally raised, her eyebrows relaxed, and a kind look on her face. It's not like she has never seen Yao like this before, but it was in the original owner's memory. Since she came to this world, Yao has cared about her, but she always felt that there was a lack of closeness, not like her unreserved joy for Zirui.
She thought that Yao was just like that, and that she was closer to Zirui because he was young and lovable. But she didn't realize until later that in Yao's heart, she was no longer a daughter, she had changed, she was completely different from before, so that she, as a mother, could no longer pretend and chose to break up with him.
But the maternal love is still there, with nowhere to vent it, and the longing for her daughter is still there, with nowhere to put it.
Today, Fu Ya's appearance has re-stimulated Yao's maternal cells, causing her maternal love to overflow and become irreversible.
She stopped the three maids and told them not to follow her. She walked slowly towards the pavilion by herself. When she got closer, she heard Yao Shi talking to Fu Ya: "Mother remembers that you didn't like mushrooms, but there was nothing else to eat in the mountains. I didn't know how to do anything at that time. In order to help us supplement the family income, the kind people in the village sent me some clothes to help wash, so that I could exchange them for food after washing, but I ruined their clothes. Later, someone sent me needlework, but I pierced my hands until they were covered in blood, but I didn't sew a single piece. Gradually, no one was willing to help us anymore. You were forced to do it, but you learned a lot of skills from your grandfather. You said you knew mushrooms and wild vegetables, so you went up the mountain alone, getting up early every day and coming back when it was getting dark. When you came back, you could always bring back a large bunch of mushrooms, which could at least feed the three of us for half a month."
Fu Ya also looked at Yao with a smile. Every time Yao finished speaking, she nodded and said vaguely, "Life was so hard back then."
Yao added, "Speaking of life in the mountains, we didn't even know how to make a fire at that time. It was our neighbor next door who taught us how to make a fire, and even the pot was given to us by him. Thanks to your Aunt An who stuffed a handful of silver into Zirui's collar before he left the mansion, we were able to buy some bedding and repair the broken thatched house so that it wouldn't leak. Later, you used half a loofah mushroom to exchange for a few bowls and spoons, and we were finally able to live a normal life."
The more Yao spoke, the more emotional she became, her face filled with memories. Normally, the life in the mountains should have been the most difficult in all those years, but now when she talked about it, it was full of fun.
Feng Yuheng heard her say, "Later, when the people in the village saw how delicious we cooked mushrooms, they also went into the mountains to pick them. But they didn't know much, and they got poisoned after eating the mushrooms they picked. It was you, Ah Heng, who used the herbs you picked from the mountains to cure their illnesses, and then taught people what kind of mushrooms they could eat. But once bitten by a snake, you'll be afraid of the rope for ten years. Even if they knew what kind of mushrooms were edible and could tell them apart, no one was willing to eat them anymore. So in those years, the three of us ate enough mushrooms in the mountains." As she spoke, she repeated the old saying, "But you don't like mushrooms. Zirui and I ate more, and you always cooked some wild vegetables. Over those years, you became terribly thin."
Sometimes Fu Ya didn't know how to respond, so she could only smile and say softly, "Yes!"
Yao didn't blame her. Instead, she looked at Fu Ya again and again, eyes full of relief. "This is my daughter. Mother knew that my daughter just went out to play and would come back one day. It's a pity that Zirui is not here, otherwise he would be happy to see you. He hasn't seen his sister since he returned to Beijing for so long."
While Yao was talking, Fu Ya had already seen Feng Yuheng standing outside the pavilion. Puzzlement gradually appeared on her face, and she cast a puzzled look at Feng Yuheng.
Yao stared at Fu Ya closely, and she immediately caught this subtle movement. She was startled and turned her head suddenly, following Fu Ya's gaze and saw Feng Yuheng.
It was during this exchange of glances that Feng Yuheng clearly saw fear in Yao's eyes. She felt uncomfortable, her mother was actually afraid of her, what kind of world was this?
Fortunately, Yao's fear soon disappeared, but what replaced it was a deliberately concealed calmness and a strong sense of strangeness.
Yao stood up and took Fu Ya to Feng Yuheng, saying with a smile as they walked, "Ah Heng, you haven't met the princess yet, right? Come, pay your respects. This is Princess Ji'an, the future wife of the current ninth prince."
Fu Ya didn't know what to do, but she heard Feng Yuheng say, "Madam asked you to perform the ceremony, so just do it."
Fu Ya had no choice but to bow to Feng Yuheng and said, "I greet the princess." When she stood up again, the questioning look in her eyes became even stronger. She really wanted Feng Yuheng to explain what was going on. In Fu Ya's opinion, Yao Shi was a bit like Wu Lisheng, who knew everything clearly, but was always confused when it came to the people closest to her.
Feng Yuheng looked at Yao and asked calmly, "Madam, how come you have time to come here today? Since returning to Beijing from the north, I haven't had time to visit you. I hope you can forgive me."
Yao Shi didn't seem to expect Feng Yuheng to talk to her like this, but this attitude made her very satisfied, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, you are busy, it's good enough that you think of me."
Feng Yuheng nodded and asked, "Madam, are you living well over there?"
Yao said, "Okay, everything is fine." Then she took Fu Ya's hand and said, "Although the house that Ah Heng's grandfather bought for me is not big, it is exquisite. There are many servants in it. They usually chat with me to relieve my boredom. It's just that..." She paused and said, "It's just that I missed Ah Heng and Zirui very much, so I thought of coming here to see them. I didn't expect Ah Heng to really come back." She looked at Fu Ya with a happy face.
Feng Yuheng couldn't explain how she felt. Yao had excluded her like that. Fortunately, she was not the original owner's real soul, otherwise she didn't know how uncomfortable she would feel.
"Um..." Yao asked her carefully, "Do you know when Zirui will be back?"
Feng Yuheng told her: "It should be soon, in one or two days. When he comes back, I will ask him to go to the other courtyard to pay his respects to Madam."
Yao asked happily, "Can Zirui live with me? There's still room in the house for two more people."
Feng Yuheng shook his head clearly about this matter and said to her: "This is definitely not possible. Zirui still has to go to school. After coming back to see his family and the emperor, he will return to Xiaozhou. Madam should know that boys should always focus on their studies. I hope Madam can understand."
Yao was afraid of Feng Yuheng, and when she heard her speak so seriously, she quickly expressed her attitude: "I understand, of course I understand, Zirui should study hard and that is the serious matter, let him go, I'm fine, but..." She thought for a while, and said firmly: "But there is one thing, you must promise me!"
