1742 Concern, the turmoil caused by marriage
The Ninth Prince rode at top speed, exhausted. Feng Qingchen was not much better, and parted with the Ninth Prince on bad terms. No matter how strong Feng Qingchen was, she couldn't avoid being sad.
When you are in a depressed mood, you need to vent it out, and galloping on horseback is the best way to vent.
Traveling day and night, he was exhausted, so naturally he had no time to think about those romantic things. When he arrived at the inn, Feng Qingchen fell directly on the bed and slept for two full days before getting up.
Feng Qingchen got up again, and he felt much better both in spirit and mood. The Eighteen Riders secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Feng Qingchen had only been crazy for a few days. If they continued to travel so madly, these grown men would not be able to bear it. They really didn't know how those people who followed the Ninth Prince survived.
The Ninth Prince had already sent a message to Wang Jinling, telling him that he would change his route to Yecheng. Feng Qingchen also did not send a message to the capital to say that she had returned alone. Except for the Eighteen Riders, almost no one knew that Feng Qingchen had returned to the capital alone.
Feng Qingchen and the Eighteen Riders entered the city at the time when the city gate was closed, and they acted very low-key. If the generals guarding the city had not wanted to please Wang Jinling and revealed the news to Wang Jinling in private, Wang Jinling would probably have to wait for Feng Qingchen to tell him before knowing it.
Feng Qingchen had been sleeping in the open air all the way and had lost a lot of weight. As soon as she arrived at the Feng Mansion, the housekeeper caught her and scolded her, saying that Feng Qingchen did not take good care of her body. She had lost a lot of weight and became darker.
The old housekeeper treated Feng Qingchen as both her master and her daughter. His sincere words made Feng Qingchen even more determined that her choice to come back was the right one. As a Chinese, she would definitely go home for the New Year unless it was something extremely important.
Sixing was in the operating room, Feng Qingchen asked the servants not to disturb him. When Sixing saw Feng Qingchen, Feng Qingchen had already taken a shower, changed clothes, and washed off the dust.
"Master, you're back. I thought you wouldn't be able to make it back for the New Year." Sun Sixing was a little excited after not seeing Feng Qingchen for a long time, and his handsome face was slightly flushed.
"Knowing that you are coming back to celebrate the New Year, Master has to rush back no matter how busy he is." Feng Qingchen insisted on rushing back. In addition to taking care of his own affairs, accompanying Sixing and Feng Jin to celebrate the New Year was also an important factor.
They were all children without parents. If she didn't go back for the New Year, only Sixing and Fengjin would be alone. She was fed up with the loneliness of spending the New Year alone. She didn't want her apprentice and brother to spend the New Year alone like her.
"Master is right. No matter how busy you are, you have to go home for the New Year and be with your family." Sun Sixing was both happy and sad. He was happy that Feng Qingchen was thinking about them and didn't forget about them because of the big event. He was sad because he would never be able to spend the New Year with his parents again.
Thinking of his dead parents, Sun Sixing couldn't help but shed tears. Feng Qingchen was startled and hurried forward to ask: "Sixing, what's wrong? Who wronged you?"
Feng Qingchen glared at the servant who was taking care of Sun Sixing. After Sun Sixing noticed, he pulled Feng Qingchen's clothes and said with a red face: "Master, no one is wronged by me, I just miss my parents."
Every festive season makes one miss his family. In Jiangnan, a group of people are busy all day long, and he has no time to think about these things. Returning to the imperial city and approaching the end of the year, Sun Sixing can't help but think more.
"My silly disciple, since you miss your parents, go and burn some incense for them tomorrow and tell them about your recent situation." Feng Qingchen patted Sun Sixing's shoulder, thinking about taking some time to visit his parents' graves and talk to them about something.
She should think carefully about the question that the Ninth Prince asked before they parted. She was willing to do anything for the Ninth Prince because she didn't need to be responsible to anyone, she just needed to be herself.
But what about now? Can she still ignore the life and death of the Fengli clan for the sake of the Ninth Prince?
Feng Qingchen knew she couldn't do it. But if one day, the Fengli Clan and the Ninth Prince became enemies, she would hand over the Fengli Clan to someone she could trust, or completely abandon the Ninth Prince.
No matter what, she would not put herself in the same situation as Li Xuanyue, caught in the middle, causing herself pain and making things difficult for the Ninth Prince.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Sun Sixing saw Feng Qingchen suddenly stunned and gently pulled the hem of Feng Qingchen's clothes.
The one who comforts others, ends up making others worry. Feng Qingchen came back to his senses and laughed at himself. Seeing Sun Sixing's worried face, Feng Qingchen teased, "Master is thinking, you will be one year older after the New Year. Other men of your age would have already married and had children. Master should also find someone for you, otherwise all the good girls will be picked up by others."
"Master... I'm still young, there's no rush." Sun Sixing's face flushed instantly, feeling very uncomfortable: "The eldest son and elder brother Yun are not young anymore, and they haven't married yet, so I'm not in a hurry either."
Seeing this, the housekeeper stepped forward and joked, "Don't worry, young lady. Master Sixing is not coming back alone this time."
"Not alone? Could it be that he brought a girl back?" Feng Qingchen put aside the matter of the Ninth Prince and joked with a smile.
The housekeeper nodded quickly: "He just brought back a girl. The girl looks delicate and weak but is very capable."
After the housekeeper said this, Sun Sixing's face turned even redder, and he felt even more uncomfortable. He opened his mouth to speak but didn't know what to say. Feng Qingchen thought that Sun Sixing was worried that she would not agree, so she said, "Don't worry, Sixing. As long as you like a girl, Master will like her. We don't care about her family background, as long as she is a good person."
"No, no..." Sun Sixing's face was red as blood, and he wanted to explain anxiously, but he didn't know how to start. At this time, a maid came in and reported: "Miss Feng, Miss Qin is outside and wants to pay her respects to you. Is it convenient for you?"
"Miss Qin? The girl you brought with you, Sixing?" Feng Qingchen's heart skipped a beat when she heard the name. Sun Sixing looked like he was definitely interested in Miss Qin, but it must not be the Miss Qin she was thinking of.
Seeing Sun Sixing nod, Feng Qingchen asked, "Is it Miss Qin Baoer?"
Seeing Feng Qingchen's sudden change of tone, Sun Sixing nodded uneasily, thinking that Feng Qingchen didn't like Qin Baoer, and hurriedly explained: "Master, don't worry, although Miss Qin is not in good health, she is clever, not afraid of hardship, and very smart. She has only studied in medical school for a few months and is already very good. She is patient and meticulous, and she doesn't dislike patients. She is an excellent girl."
"Master knows that she is a good girl." Feng Qingchen had a bitter face and secretly cursed Yun Xiao and his group for being unreliable and not helping her look after Sixing.
There was nothing she didn't understand about Si Xing, but Qin Baoer really couldn't do it. It wasn't a question of whether she liked him or not, but that Qin Baoer was already taken.
Everyone present was a shrewd person. Seeing Feng Qingchen's face suddenly change, they naturally knew that she didn't like Qin Baoer. They put away their smiles and dared not play around anymore.
Feng Qingchen was not in the mood to joke, and waved the servants away with a stern face: "You go first. Tell Miss Qin that I am a little tired today. I will see her tomorrow and let her rest early."
"Yes." The old butler bowed and retreated with a group of servants. Before leaving, he looked at Sun Sixing with worry in his eyes.
Sun Sixing was feeling uneasy. After everyone left, Sun Sixing hurriedly asked, "Master, is there something wrong with Miss Qin?"
"There's nothing wrong with Miss Qin." Feng Qingchen looked at Si Xing's nervous expression and sighed, "It's just that she has a fiancé."
"What?" Sun Sixing was stunned...
