1347 Didn't watch, Feng Zhan gave Feng Qingchen a coming-of-age gift
Is it about the father?
Feng Qingchen's hand froze in mid-air and her face changed. Although she quickly returned to normal, her change could not escape the eyes of Marshal Si. Seeing Feng Qingchen like this, a trace of heartache flashed in Marshal Si's eyes.
Feng Qingchen must have a lot of affection for Feng Zhan, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so strongly. No matter how strong a child is, they would always want their parents to protect them.
It makes sense. Feng Qingchen is so old and a girl. If Feng Zhan were still alive, she would definitely be a pampered lady and there would be no need for her to work so hard.
With Feng Zhan's ability, his daughter is worthy of marrying a prince. How could she be like this now, with an unclear relationship with the Ninth Prince, without any status or position?
Alas... Thinking of the dead Feng Zhan and Feng Qingchen being alone, Marshal Si couldn't help but sigh and waved his hand to signal Si Cheng to leave.
Si Cheng turned around and left without saying a word. These two men were more like a general and a soldier than father and son.
Although she wanted to hear about her father, Feng Qingchen didn't want to show her face. She quickly suppressed her thoughts and said, "Even if it's related to my father, there's no rush. So many years have passed. What does this little moment mean? Marshal, let me take a look at your injury first. The young marshal is very worried about you."
"That kid..." Marshal Si couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He didn't say anything more to Feng Qingchen. He took off his shirt, revealing his back covered with scars.
It is true that the general's military exploits were achieved at the cost of his life. There is not a single piece of good flesh on Marshal Si's body. There are scars all over his body, making him look hideous and terrifying.
Feng Qingchen had expected this, so she did not show any surprise or fear when she saw this scene. Feng Qingchen walked forward calmly, and after a simple examination of Marshal Si, she asked him where the hidden weapon had injured him, and looked for the injury that Si Cheng had mentioned.
"Marshal, does it hurt here?" Feng Qingchen pressed on Marshal Si's back a few times. These places were obviously injured. Marshal Si could still hold it back at first, but soon he couldn't bear it anymore.
"It hurts." How could it not hurt when a hidden weapon like a blade grows in the flesh and is pressed like this?
Feng Qingchen made a mark there and said, "The hidden weapon left behind did not hurt the lungs and organs, so we can do it anytime. Marshal Si, when are you free to go to Feng Mansion? I will help you take out the hidden weapon."
When talking about his expertise, Feng Qingchen was full of confidence. Marshal Si was also excited when he heard this: "Can it really be taken out?"
Over the years, he has been tormented by this hidden weapon. It hurts when it rains, and it also becomes red, swollen and inflamed at other times. He asked the doctor to dig it out several times, but the doctor couldn't find it. The piece of flesh on his back was almost dug out.
Although he came back for Si Cheng, his body really couldn't take it.
"That's amazing! The Marshal knows my father, so how dare I brag?" Feng Qingchen said as he packed his things.
When Marshal Si heard this, he was happy again.
I thought Feng Qingchen could really hold it in, but it turned out that she was very anxious. Marshal Si did not make things difficult for Feng Qingchen. He asked Feng Qingchen to wait for a while and then got up and went out. When he came back, he had a jade box in his hand.
"The things in this jade box are what your father left for you." Marshal Si handed the box to Feng Qingchen.
Something her father left her?
Feng Qingchen's heart skipped a beat and he almost jumped up.
Even though she tried her best to restrain herself, Feng Qingchen's fingers couldn't help but tremble. She stared at the box on the table with shining eyes, wishing she could hold it in her arms right now.
"Did my father say anything?" After being excited, Feng Qingchen quickly calmed down and looked at Marshal Si with a puzzled look.
Her father and Si Dashuai had no connection, so how could her father's things be in Si Dashuai's hands? Why did he give them to her now?
What for her?
Marshal Si understood Feng Qingchen's doubts and explained, "Your father and I have a connection. I was closest to his army at the time, but I was also entangled by Nanling's army and couldn't spare the time to rescue your father. Your father probably knew he couldn't hold on any longer, so he asked his confidant to give me this item and let me hand it over to you. As for what's inside, don't worry, I didn't look at it."
Marshal Si had a frank face and a sense of chivalry, which made Feng Qingchen feel good about him. He immediately held the box, stood up and bowed deeply to Marshal Si: "Thank you, Marshal. I will repay you for your kindness in the future."
"There's no need to thank me. I'm only doing my duty. Your father asked me to give this to you after you come of age. If anything happens to you, throw it into the sea. Unfortunately, I've been away from home and couldn't return to Beijing, so I missed your coming-of-age ceremony. I can only make it up to you now." Marshal Si said this with a hint of meaning.
He was very curious about what it was that Feng Zhan insisted on giving it to Feng Qingchen after she reached the age of 15.
Feng Qingchen heard the unfinished meaning in Marshal Si's words, but she just pretended to be stupid and pretended not to understand. She smiled and changed the subject. She said a few irrelevant words and then found an excuse to leave.
Although she is steady, she is also an ordinary person. How could she not be curious about the things her father left behind? Her father did not leave many things, and there were even fewer things left specifically for her.
Feng Qingchen hurried back to the Feng Mansion and jumped off the carriage without waiting for the servants to help him. A few passers-by saw her and pointed at her, saying that she was uneducated.
Feng Qingchen heard it but was too lazy to pay attention to them. She urgently wanted to know what her father had left for her and why he had to wait until she reached the age of 15.
"Miss."
"Miss, Mr. Zuo..."
As soon as Feng Qingchen entered the mansion, the servant came forward, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Feng Qingchen: "I'm busy. No matter how big the matter is, wait until I come out."
Feng Qingchen hurried into the room, slammed the door shut, and strictly ordered that no one be allowed to disturb her.
Feng Qingchen didn't even have time to drink a sip of tea. As soon as he entered the room, he took out the jade box and held it in his palm with great care, for fear that he would accidentally break the jade box and ruin the things inside.
Feng Qingchen couldn't help getting excited when she thought that the things in here were given to her by her father.
At least she knew that her father still had her in his heart, instead of treating her as a shame like in her previous life. As an illegitimate daughter who was not loved by her mother and not wanted by her father, she longed for her parents' love more than anyone else.
Unfortunately, she had a bad fate. Although she had both parents in this life, she did not have the chance to enjoy their love.
Feng Qingchen looked at the jade box carefully several times, even counting the patterns on it, but could not find the way to open it.
There is a crack in the jade box, but the crack is sealed. If it is opened, the jade box will probably be destroyed.
It’s not that Marshal Si doesn’t want to watch, but that he can’t watch, right?
Thinking of this, Feng Qingchen couldn't help but praise her father. Her father was indeed a shrewd man, and of course the person he entrusted the task to was also a person with conscience, otherwise Marshal Si would have destroyed the jade box and taken out the things inside.
Since there is a gap in the jade box, there is no problem of not being able to open it. Feng Qingchen took out a small scalpel and inserted it into the gap.
Although the gap was solid, it could still be easily cut open by a sharp thin knife. However, this movement caused cracks to appear on the jade box.
Feng Qingchen was reluctant, but he also knew that there was no other way. If he wanted to take out the things inside, he had to open the jade box, even if it meant destroying it.
With a snap, the jade box broke apart. Feng Qingchen opened the jade box with almost no effort. Of course, when he saw the things in the jade box...
