Feng Xiyun felt very wronged. What unforgivable crime had he committed that both the master and the servant blamed him?
"You and your servant both say that it was Xi Yun who murdered Prince Wang, but I have no idea what Xi Yun did to you. I am truly confused. Please tell me in detail."
The story begins with the Hundred Flowers Festival in half a month.
The capital city holds the Hundred Flowers Festival on the third day of the third lunar month every year, and both men and women, regardless of their status, wear flowers in their hair and go out for fun.
Originally, Wang Yijun didn't want to go out, but after all, he was his only son. Tai Shi Wang felt sorry for Wang Yijun who had been studying hard at home, so he persuaded him to go out for a day, thinking that more than two years had passed and the people in the capital should have forgotten about him.
Wang Yijun then went out to Liulin Garden outside the city. When he got there, he found that most of the ordinary people had forgotten the former bully Wang Yijun. Many women were attracted by the scholarly temperament that Wang Yijun had cultivated after two years of hard study. He also received many fragrant flowers and fruits as expressions of appreciation.
Wang Yijun, who hadn't enjoyed such treatment for a long time, was very happy. Unexpectedly, he met Feng Xiyun who was also admiring the flowers in Liulin Garden. Feng Xiyun was not a person with a bad memory. He had a martial arts dream of traveling around the world with a sword and doing justice since he was a child. So he went up to Wang Yijun and gave him a sharp diss.
Wang Yijun was speechless in rebuttal, because he had indeed done too many wrong things in the past, so he could only leave Liulinyuan sadly.
After leaving Liulin Garden, Wang Yijun saw the spring scenery everywhere but had no intention of enjoying it anymore. He rode his horse slowly back to the city. He only felt "withered vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing water, and people's homes, ancient roads, west wind, and skinny horses. The sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are far away" and he felt very sad.
It was at this time that Bai Wanshuang appeared.
It was almost dusk, and people who had gone out to enjoy the flowers were returning to Beijing in an endless stream. However, there was one woman in white who stood out from the crowd. She was walking against the flow of people towards the outside of the city.
The woman in white was wearing thin clothes, had a simple hairpin, and looked pitiful. Wang Yijun couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
Just like the lyrics say, just because I took one more look at you in the crowd, at the moment when they passed by, Wang Yijun looked down for some reason and saw Bai Wanshuang shaking twice and suddenly fainting on the side of the road.
"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" At that time, Wang Yijun was trying hard to reform himself. How could he stand idly by? He quickly dismounted and helped Bai Wanshuang up.
"Cough... cough... thank you... thank you very much, sir. I'm fine." Bai Wanshuang coughed twice and thanked Wang Yijun in a very weak voice. She stood up bravely and walked out of the city.
"Girl, it's getting late now. Where do you live? How about I take you back?"
"Wu... I'm so scared, I'm going to have no home, wu", Bai Wanshuang started to cry angrily. It turned out that her father was seriously ill. She heard that the Bodhisattva in Zhaojue Temple outside the city was efficacious, so she wanted to go there to pray to the Buddha.
The story then developed smoothly. Wang Yijun sent Bai Wanshuang to Zhaojue Temple to pray to Buddha, and then sent Bai Wanshuang back to her temporary residence in the capital. From then on, he went to Bai Wanshuang's residence every day, gave her money and gifts, and also helped Bai Wanshuang's father invite a famous doctor to diagnose his illness.
Every time Wang Yijun went to see Bai Wanshuang, she would entertain him warmly and chat with him, but she was unwilling to accept his help.
All the gifts given by Wang Yijun were returned, and Bai Wanshuang refused to accept the famous doctor hired by Wang Yijun. She just pawned her jewelry, which was already few in number, for money to save her father's treatment. Wang Yijun felt distressed and admired her at the same time, and felt that Bai Wanshuang was the strongest and most beautiful woman in the world.
Wang Yijun fell deeply in love with Bai Wanshuang and confessed his love to her many times.
When they heard this part, Fengming and the other two who were listening to the story couldn't help but think of the story told by Tunan. The similar plot, similar words, and similar delicate woman in white clothes really seemed familiar.
