More than three years later, Feng Jinyuan entered Yao's room again, but no one let him in. Yao sat on a chair in the outer hall, looking at Feng Jinyuan, neither welcoming nor warm, and even without a smile on her face.
Feng Jinyuan couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that in the past three years, not only his second daughter's heart had turned cold, but even his real wife had lost her feelings for him.
He couldn't help but think of Jin Zhen and Han's enthusiasm, and he began to regret coming to Tongshengxuan. Especially when he thought about the gatekeeper who questioned her for a long time before letting her in when she passed the moon gate in Liuyuan, and then followed her from behind, looking at him like a thief. And he needed a guide, otherwise he would really get lost in this mansion he had never set foot in before.
"How...are you doing lately?" Feng Jin tried to make small talk. No one paid attention to him, so he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yao nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm fine." She didn't even want to call herself a concubine.
"Do you usually go to bed so early?" He looked outside. Although it was already dark, the other concubines should be eagerly waiting for him to come over. It was unreasonable for them to go to bed so early. Even the usually taciturn An was looking forward to seeing him. But this wife, with whom he used to have a very good relationship, now became so cold.
"I'm used to going to bed early." Yao answered each question simply and clearly, without any nonsense.
"Then go to bed later today!" Feng Jinyuan simply said, "You've been back for so many days, and I haven't come to see you. It's my negligence. I'll stay here with you tonight. We've been apart for many years, and I think you should have a lot to say to me."
Yao shook her head and said, "I have nothing to say to you, Master. Please go back."
"Hmm?" Feng Jinyuan was stunned, "You don't understand what I mean?"
"Master, don't you understand what I mean?" Yao looked at him, without any emotion in her eyes.
"I don't understand!" Feng Jinyuan pretended to be stupid, then stood up, stretched out his hand to grab Yao, and dragged her directly into the house.
Yao Shi was no match for him, and she staggered after being pulled, and followed him into the house involuntarily. She was a little conflicted, and had already made up her mind to completely break off with Feng Jinyuan on this matter, but if the other party forced her to do so, she was the daughter-in-law of the Feng family after all, so how could she refuse? She couldn't help but get anxious, and just hoped that Feng Yuheng would show up and save her soon, but then she thought again, how could a daughter stop her father from sleeping with her mother? Her heart sank.
"Master." She made a final effort for herself, "I am not feeling well and cannot serve you."
Feng Jinyuan ignored her and reached out to pull Yao's clothes, but at this moment, the door was slammed open from the outside.
Just as he was about to get angry, he heard a child's voice shouting, "Father! Is father here? Zirui misses father so much!"
In the blink of an eye, Feng Zirui hugged her thigh. The child had gained some weight recently, and his cheeks had become plump and cute.
Feng Jinyuan looked at his adorable son, and his anger subsided. He quickly bent down and picked up Zirui, and asked him, "Why did Zirui come here?"
Feng Zirui said, "The servants said that father came to Tongshengxuan. Zirui hasn't seen father much since he returned to the mansion. He missed him so much that he asked his sister to bring him here. Father wouldn't dislike Zirui, would he?"
Feng Jinyuan glanced at Feng Yuheng who followed in, how could he not understand what was going on. But Feng Zirui said that he was the one who dragged Feng Yuheng here, so he couldn't blame him anymore, he could only rub Zirui's face and said hypocritically: "How could it be, father likes Zirui very much."
"That's great!" Zi Rui kissed Feng Jinyuan on the face, blinking his big eyes, which made Feng Jinyuan stunned.
He had so many children, and when they were young, he valued Feng Yuheng the most, but Feng Yuheng was originally a quiet person and never wanted to get close to him. Later, he doted on Chenyu and Zihao, but by then Chenyu had grown up and it was impossible for her to get close to him. And Feng Zihao, apart from eating, drinking, having fun, and causing trouble, seemed to do nothing else.
Now that Zirui had kissed him, he actually felt a little touched. It turned out that there were still children who were so lovable. It turned out that he could not only be a strict father, but also be kissed by his son and feel the joy of family.
In an instant, the unpleasantness of being disturbed by the children disappeared.
He simply carried Zirui back to the outer room, playing with the child while asking him about his homework. Zirui would answer every question and draw inferences from one instance, which made Feng Jinyuan simply forget about the Yao family.
Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Feng Yuheng, and felt a little scared.
Feng Yuheng stepped forward and held Yao's hand, whispering, "Don't be afraid, mother. Father won't be sitting for long and will leave."
Yao was puzzled, but soon, the doubt was answered - "Master." The maid Qingling walked in from outside and saluted Feng Jinyuan, "Aunt Han sent a maid over, saying that she has something to say to the master."
Feng Jinyuan frowned, "I'm staying at Tongshengxuan tonight. How come Aunt Han doesn't even know this little bit of etiquette?"
Feng Yuheng said quickly, "Mrs. Han has been in the mansion for many years. It's impossible for her to be so ignorant of the rules. Don't let anything important happen and delay her. Father might as well ask that girl to come in and ask her."
Feng Jinyuan nodded, and Qingling brought the girl in.
"Master." The girl knelt on the ground as she came in, her eyes were red and tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes.
Feng Jinyuan's eyebrows knitted together instantly, and he said irritably: "What are you crying for?"
The little girl hurriedly said, "Please go see Aunt Han, Master!"
"What happened to Aunt Han?" Feng Yuheng rushed to ask for his father.
"Mrs. Han has been unable to eat since noon today and has been complaining about a headache. I thought she would be better after a short sleep, but now it's already this late and not only has it not gotten better, it's getting worse. Mrs. Han is in so much pain that she can't get off the bed and is calling for you in a daze. Please go see Mrs. Han!"
Feng Yuheng laughed secretly in his heart, but advised: "Father, go and have a look! Aunt Han has always been weak, maybe she is seriously ill."
Feng Jinyuan had doted on Han for so many years. Although he now had a new lover, Jin Zhen, his affection for Han was still there. When he heard that Han was ill, he could no longer sit still. He put Zirui on the ground, stood up and said to Yao: "Then I'll go and see, and come to your side another day."
Yao lowered her head and said nothing. Feng Jinyuan felt that he owed her something and wanted to go forward and pull Yao's hand. The kneeling maid urged again: "Master, please hurry up. This side is far away. I am really worried that Aunt Han can't hold on!"
With these words, Feng Jinyuan stopped moving. He turned around and walked out. The girl quickly got up and followed him.
It was not until they were far away that Yao asked Feng Yuheng, "Did you know that your Aunt Han was coming over?"
Feng Yuheng told her: "Huang Quan told me when I came here."
Yao nodded, "I think Han is also keeping an eye on this matter. I am not afraid now. I am sure she will stop your father from coming next time."
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything more, thinking about communicating with Jin Zhen about this matter. Han could put out a fire once but not a second time, and having Jin Zhen was always a backup plan. After all, as a daughter, she couldn't openly stop her father from staying at Tongshengxuan.
Besides, Han finally tricked Feng Jinyuan into her yard by pretending to be sick. The woman who hadn't had a husband for a long time burst into tears as soon as she saw Feng Jinyuan.
She was born delicate, and now she was curled up in bed crying aggrievedly, which really broke Feng Jinyuan's heart.
He was about to go forward and embrace his concubine, but he didn't calculate that today was not an auspicious day for sex. He heard another maid outside calling cautiously, "Master!"
Han was so angry that she hooked Feng Jinyuan's neck and said coquettishly: "Don't bother with anything. The master is mine tonight."
Feng Jinyuan liked her tone the most, and nodded immediately, "Okay! Ignore everything." As he said that, his hand was about to reach into Han's collar again.
Then the girl outside said, "Master, the third master of the Shen family has arrived and is waiting for you in Songyuan."
Feng Jinyuan finally pushed Han away, got up from the couch, and said helplessly: "I'll come to see you another day. I'm afraid Shen Wanliang really has something to do when he comes to the mansion in person." After saying that, he walked out of the room.
Han was so angry that her teeth were about to break. She grabbed the pillow and threw it to the ground. Fendai's voice came from the door: "You couldn't keep your father even when he came to your door! I thought you had some skills to seduce men, but now you don't even have that ability anymore?"
"Shut up!" Han was also furious. "Feng Fendai, let me tell you, if you want wealth and glory, go fight for it yourself! If you want the Ninth Prince, go get him yourself! If you have the ability! If you have the ability, go and defeat Feng Yuheng and Feng Chenyu. If you don't have the ability, don't push me forward!"
"Do you think I don't want to?" Fen Dai rushed in, bent down to pick up the pillow on the ground and threw it back at Han. "If I were a legitimate daughter, what would I want? In the final analysis, it's not your problem. Shen can climb to the position of mistress, why can't you? The Shen family can use the power of Feng Mansion to become an imperial merchant, how come your Han family doesn't even have a worm? You shouldn't have climbed up to the high branch of Feng Mansion with your poor family background. You have implicated me and made me suffer for nothing. What kind of mother are you? You might as well die!"
Feng Fendai yelled without caring about anything, her movements became more violent, and her arm began to hurt again. She cried when her hand hurt, and while crying she scolded Han: "I was beaten by the man I love the most. If you have a position in the Feng Mansion, how dare he hit me so hard even if he is a prince? You are such a useless woman. I am so unlucky to be your daughter!"
Han felt a sweet and fishy feeling rising up in her chest. She tried desperately to suppress it, but she couldn't. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out of her chest, and the next moment, she fell to the ground, unconscious. [End of this chapter]
