It was impossible for the Prince Sheng's Mansion to be unaffected by the officials' emotions, but for Xuan Tianmo now, these people were no longer important. He had to redeploy and replan his forces, especially in the Kyoto area. He had to take advantage of the great opportunity when Feng Yuheng left and Xuan Tianming was about to leave to make a big change in his forces and make further progress.
At this time, in Feng Mansion, Feng Fendai and her maid Dongying were walking around the mansion for two days. Dongying was always with them. Although Feng Fendai didn't say a word, this clever maid could guess what her mistress was thinking.
Yesterday morning, when Princess Ji'an left the capital, her daughter had secretly gone to see her off. She just followed the motorcade from a distance, without showing up in public, and didn't even say a word. The fourth daughter, who was always arrogant and domineering, and who always had a bad relationship with Princess Ji'an, showed a little bit of reluctance and envy in her eyes when she saw Princess Ji'an leaving the capital yesterday. It was the first time she saw her daughter like this, and the scene at that time was still imprinted in her mind and could not be shaken off.
After seeing off the guests and returning home yesterday, the Fourth Young Miss has been wandering around the mansion. She even stood at the gate of the courtyard where the Third Young Miss and Aunt An used to live for a long time, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
Dongying followed Fendai silently in the mansion until her feet were sore. Finally, Feng Fendai stopped in front of Feng Jinyuan's study. She suddenly sneered and muttered to herself, "The legitimate daughter of the Feng family? I have been dreaming of becoming the legitimate daughter of the Feng family for so many years. Now I think it's really a joke! The Feng family is gone, so what does it matter whether I am legitimate or illegitimate?"
She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She punched the fence outside the yard, scraping her fingers and bleeding. Dong Ying was so scared that she quickly took out a handkerchief to bandage her wound. While bandaging, she advised: "Miss, please don't be like this. It's all over. We will live our own lives in the future. What does it matter what the surname of this mansion is? You will marry into the Prince Li's mansion sooner or later. At that time, people will only remember that you are the principal wife of the Prince Li's mansion, and it has nothing to do with the Feng family<=".." The little girl has been with Fendai for so long, and she has seen all of Feng Jinyuan's suicidal behavior. To be honest, there is no one in this mansion who doesn't despise Feng Jinyuan. As long as they think of Feng Jinyuan, they even feel that they should sympathize with Feng Fendai, who is also suicidal.
Fendai did not refuse Dongying's bandaging. She just stood there, looking at the house in front of her, and suddenly asked: "Dongying, if I had chosen to stand on the same line with Feng Yuheng, would the result today be different?"
Dongying was stunned. She didn't know whether Fendai was asking her this because she had come to terms with it or because she was angry. She didn't dare to answer for a moment.
Fendai then added: "I know you are a thoughtful girl, just tell me the truth and tell me what you think."
Dongying thought deeply, tied a knot on her handkerchief, helped Fendai put her hands down, and then lowered her head and said, "Since the Fourth Young Lady asked, I will dare to say a few words. When we were in the Old Phoenix Mansion, I was young and was assigned to work in the miscellaneous courtyard. I didn't know much about the master's affairs. But since I served the Fourth Young Lady, I was confused at first. I only knew that the Fourth Young Lady was my master and everything had to be considered for her. But slowly, as time went by, I saw more, and after these changes, I felt that the Second Young Lady was right."
"Right?" Fendai smiled bitterly, "Tell me what's right."
"The Second Miss was not kind to the Master, not kind to the former First Lady, not kind to the Old Madam, and not so kind to the Fourth Miss and Aunt Han. If we think about these from our own perspective, she is a bad person. But if we look at it from the perspective of the Second Miss, if she hadn't done this, she would have died in the mansion a long time ago. Although I haven't served many other masters, I have heard about many things in wealthy families over the years. It is too easy to kill someone in a mansion. Fourth Miss, let's be honest, if you had known that the Master of the Feng Family would become what he is now, would you still be like before? Would you still fight for the position of the legitimate daughter, and would you still be against the Second Miss?"
Faced with the girl's words and questions, Fen Dai did not get angry for the first time in her life. Instead, she nodded calmly, "No. Unfortunately, how could I know what would happen in the future?"
"But the Second Miss knows." Dong Ying added, "What I mean is that the Second Miss can see further ahead. Of course, she is a few years older than you, the Fourth Miss, and she has been raised outside. She also met a strange master. She has seen a lot and knows a lot. She saw it early... Please forgive me for my rudeness, the Second Miss saw that the Master of the Feng Family was not a good person, so she made plans for herself early on. But you are a step late!"
Fendai smiled bitterly, "Yes! I didn't see it. I was blinded by power. At first, I thought the position of the eldest daughter of the Feng family was so high and so unattainable. I even thought that if I sat in that position, it would be a step to heaven. But now I think about it, it's bullshit. I just don't have Feng... I just don't have the foresight of my second sister, so I ended up like this."
Dong Ying felt relieved when she heard that she was willing to call Feng Yuheng the Second Sister, and she quickly comforted her: "No bad ending, Fourth Miss, you are still the future principal wife of Prince Li's Mansion. The Fifth Prince's thoughts about you are something that everyone would envy! Also, if you want to make peace with Second Miss, it's not too late now. Didn't Third Miss leave the capital with you? They are sisters as well, they can be close, and so can you."
"Me?" Fendai shrugged and smiled, "How is that possible. But I think Rong is a person with her own ideas. I always thought she was a weakling who could be bullied by everyone. Even though she is a few months older than me and I call her sister, I still feel that she is inferior to me in every way. Look, I have become the future wife of the fifth prince, and what about her? She has not fought for anything for herself. Oh, Luo Tianfu sent a lot of dowry, but what's the use of having dowry? Who is she going to marry?" Although she said so, the envy in Fendai's eyes was still revealed. Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore, and she lowered her posture and said, "No matter who she marries, it's good. At least she can go out with the second sister. With the second sister protecting her, she will be able to find a good marriage sooner or later, and I don't have to worry about it<=".."
"Fourth Miss." Dong Ying persuaded again, "Why don't we go too!" She, Dong Ying, was really not Feng Yuheng's lobbyist. She was just thinking about herself and was eager to pull Fendai onto the right path, at least not to follow her and kill herself. If Feng Fendai continued to do this, she didn't believe that the fourth young lady could live safely until she was fifteen and get married. She was a bonded slave, and the bond was in Feng Fendai's hands. She couldn't escape, and if she wanted to live, she could only keep persuading.
But Feng Fendai shook her head, "It's too late. It's too late to seek refuge now. There are too many grievances between Feng Yuheng and me. I'm afraid that even if I kneel at her feet, I can't ask for forgiveness." She smiled, and her face showed the same spirit as before, "Forget it, since it's too late, I might as well run all the way to the end, and I must not look back, and there is no room for turning back. I don't believe that I can't fight for a life of wealth and honor for myself in this life! Dongying, send someone to pass the note. Tomorrow, Miss Ben will visit the Sixth Prince."
The hope that Dongying had just raised in her heart was extinguished in an instant. She was desperate and no longer believed that she could persuade the fourth young lady to come back. Forget it, forget it. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. The fourth young lady just said that she could only run to the end of the road and never look back. Since she couldn't turn back, she could only follow her, and then follow her well, help her plan, and help her do everything. She only hoped that the fourth young lady was really lucky and could one day become rich and powerful as she wished, so that she, Dongying, could fight for a future for herself.
Outside the capital, Feng Yuheng's convoy had already set off from Baishui County and continued on their way. Because Xuan Tianhua had made arrangements in advance, the inn in Baishui County provided good hospitality. Even the beds were remade and thickened. The room was warm, there was no peculiar smell, and it was comfortable to sleep. When they checked out in the morning, the shopkeeper refused to accept the money. After a few more questions, he said that the Seventh Prince had already paid the money and could not accept any more from them. Feng Yuheng did not insist, but just thanked them and continued on the road with the convoy.
Xiangrong was feeling more and more emotional as she sat in the car. Now she was getting farther and farther away from the capital. She began to miss An and began to worry that An would not live well and would be bullied. Feng Yuheng saw her worry and said helplessly, "Don't worry, I believe that the Fourth Prince will ask people to take good care of Aunt An."
"Him?" Xiang Rong shook her head. "I didn't tell him when I left. I'm afraid he would scold me in the mansion these days. How could he be willing to care about mother's side?"
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly, "Even if he doesn't care, isn't there still the Seventh Prince? The Ninth Prince will definitely return to the camp, and will lead troops to the Southern Territory soon, so I told the Seventh Brother a long time ago to help take care of the capital. Aunt An has also made arrangements, so don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Really?" Xiangrong's eyes lit up, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'm relieved. Mother didn't agree to leave in a hurry, but later she agreed when she saw that I was really insistent. Second sister, in fact, no one can bully mother. I'm worried about Fendai."
Speaking of Feng Fendai, Feng Yuheng was helpless. The youngest daughter of the Feng family truly inherited the temperament of a concubine. In fact, people in the capital city were not very tolerant of concubines. Although every wealthy family had concubines, the existence of concubines was not presentable. When it was mentioned, the wife of the main wife would scold them. Even the children born from the concubines were not welcomed. They were said to be like their mothers, thinking about competing for favors and climbing into bed all day long, and all they learned were the skills of climbing into bed.
Fen Dai was just such a person, a typical daughter raised by a concubine. She had all the bad habits that a concubine should have, but her heart was higher than that of a legitimate daughter. Feng Yuheng still didn't know where her confidence that she could definitely become a legitimate daughter came from.
"Second sister." Xiangrong tugged at Feng Yuheng's sleeve and asked softly, "If Fendai can learn to be good and not be like she was before, second sister, are you willing to forgive her?"
Feng Yuheng was stunned. She hadn't thought about this question yet because she didn't believe that Fendai could change. So Xiangrong's question made her think for a long time, and the answer she finally gave was -
