Chapter 1106 - Find The Right Person To Take Responsibility
Xuan Tianyan actually really wanted to ask Fendai, if he really cancelled the engagement with her, what is the point of her causing trouble? But when those words reached the tip of his tongue, he still swallowed them, and until he sent her out of the hunting grounds, he was unable to say it.
In the end, he could not bear to let go, the marriage engagement between him and Fendai was formed after a strange set of circumstances, going into the details, it was also considered as someone setting him up to it. But he had a knot in his heart, which would be being unable to forget the past. So many times he had been angered by Fendai until he gritted his teeth, but when he turned around and saw her appearance as she wore the crystal earrings, events from the past would surge forth and he could not bear abandoning her.
Xuan Tianyan pulled Xiao Bao along, telling this child: “Your older sister needs to attend to a very important matter and cannot hunt together with us. We will play here for a few days and after we return, you will naturally see her.”
Xiao Bao sucked his finger and did not say anything, this young child already had the most basic awareness, he could feel that his older sister did not like him, but he did not understand why. Because at the very beginning, Fendai treated him especially well, even wanting to hug him and sleep together at night, but until one day, without knowing why, his older sister looked at him for a long time, only saying “Why is he getting fairer as he ages”, then she did not like him after that, hitting and scolding and hitting him all day.
He quietly followed Xuan Tianyan back to the camp, not making any more noise, and also not pestering to look for his older sister. He knew that he needed to be a mature and sensible child, if he was not sensible, he was afraid that his older sister would throw him away one day, no longer wanting him.
Fendai rode a horse carriage, leaving the hunting grounds and heading towards the capital. Master and servant sat in the horse carriage quietly, with neither of them speaking, until the horse carriage travelled for more than two hours, they suddenly heard the driver outside shout: “Oh!” and stopped the horse immediately, then the driver asked in surprise: “Who are you people?”
As if the people outside would reply, but they heard the sounds of weapons clashing. Xuan Tianyan sent two guards to accompany Fendai back to the capital, at this moment, those two people have already jumped off their horses, fighting with the people in front.
Dong Ying was trembling in fear, but she did carry out her responsibility, standing in front of Fendai to protect her. Fendai also felt very afraid, but she still gathered her courage and pulled open the carriage curtain, looking over, she saw a dozen black clothed people rushing towards her carriage……
Fendai and Dong Ying were captured, blindfolded and with their heads covered, they walked for a long time, and with all the moving around, they did not know where they went. When the cloth over their heads and eyes were pulled off, she discovered that she reached a dark house which could only be lit up by torches. There were no windows in this house, the four walls were all stone, dank and cold, it seemed to be underground.
Fendai looked around her and quickly discovered Dong Ying who had collapsed next to her, having already lost consciousness. She tried to call out to her twice, but Dong Ying did not wake up. She wanted to check Dong Ying’s breathing to confirm if she was dead or alive, but her hands were tied behind her and she could not loosen the bonds at all. Fear rose within her heart, but she tried to keep the calmness on her face. Dong Ying and her were not the only people in his house, a few steps in front of her, a few people sat there, with one man and one woman in front. The man was in his twenties, the girl was only sixteen or seventeen, the light was too dim to see clearly but she felt that woman was a little familiar but could not remember where she had seen her.
“Who are you people? Why did you catch me?” Fendai opened her mouth to ask, pathetically, her voice was trembling.
Hearing that woman chuckle, she replied immediately: “Sigh, consider yourself unlucky, we caught the wrong person.”
“Caught the wrong person?” Fendai breathed a sigh of relief, and the thoughts of leaving things to chance rose in her mind, “Since you caught the wrong person, then let us go!”
However, the reaction of the person opposite caused her to be very disappointed. She saw that woman shake her head and say: “How can we let go of a person we caught so easily? Not only are we unable to let you go, I still have to give you a greeting gift.” After she spoke, she clapped her hands three times, then seeing a small door at the back of the house, someone entered carrying a child. That child was unconscious and was thrown in front of Fendai, groaning on reflex.
Fendai was very shocked: “Xiao Bao?” Immediately staring at that woman in panic, she asked in confusion: “Why is my younger brother with you people? Could it be…… all of you barged into Da Shun’s imperial hunting grounds?” That’s not right! If those people made a mistake in capturing her, then why did they have to intrude into the hunting grounds to capture Xiao Bao too?
“We do not have the luxury of time and effort to intrude into the imperial hunting grounds.” The woman said: “It was just that after capturing you, we wanted to head over to the imperial hunting grounds to obtain some information, but who knew that on our way there, we found this child sitting in a horse carriage and brought him back as well. Based on what this child said, he was secretly returning to the capital to look for his older sister, and his older sister’s name is Feng Fendai.”
Fendai was stunned, Xiao Bao wanted to secretly return to the capital to look for her? Damn it, why was Xuan Tianyan not even capable of watching a child! Looking towards Xiao Bao again, she could not help but feel frantic: “What did you do to my younger brother, why is he unconscious and not waking up?”
“Do not worry, he was only drugged a little.” That woman stood up and approached, squatting one step away from Fendai, smiling and looking at her: “Feng family’s Fourth Miss, we have met in the past, but it has been a long time since we last met.”
Fendai thought this person looked rather familiar, hearing her say this, she started to seriously recall her memories. But relying on her memories alone, she really could not remember anything, it was just that she had seen Zong Sui’s prince Li Kun come to Da Shun with serious injuries today. Thinking in this direction, she quickly recognised this person opposite her: “Yu Qianyin?”
The woman laughed with a “Keke”, “Not bad, not bad, still remembering This Princess. This Princess remembers Feng family’s Fourth Miss! I remember you being suppressed greatly by Princess Ji An, unable to stand up tall in Feng manor, but you did get your engagement to Da Shun’s Fifth Prince. Even then, it was only from slipping through the gaps in the battle between your Second Sister and First Sister. In the end, it can be considered as charity from Feng Yuheng! Don’t you think so?”
It had to be acknowledged, Yu Qianyin was very intelligent, she knew which area to attack to obtain the most effect when insulting people, especially picking Fendai’s weakest area to insult. Fendai hated other people saying that she did not match up to the other children in the Feng family, especially Feng Yuheng! Not only did Yu Qianyin say it now, she even said that her engagement with the Fifth Prince was charity from Feng Yuheng, she felt that she was close to losing control of the anger in her body, and the thoughts in her heart stored for many years were about to explode!
But she was not an complete idiot, not completely being led around by others, just as her emotions were about to explode, she suddenly remembered one thing. When Yu Qianyin first came to Da Shun, she was next to the Seventh Prince, and when Li Kun first came to Da Shun, he also mentioned the political marriage between this Sixth Princess and Da Shun’s Seventh Prince. She knew Yu Qianyin loved the Seventh Prince very much, even offending Feng Yuheng because of this, causing Feng Yuheng to teach her a lesson until she did not have any intact skin left and needed to return and recuperate for a year before she fully recovered.
Thinking to this point, Fendai suddenly laughed until her stomach hurt. She started to agitate Yu Qianyin in return: “Why are you acting all high and mighty here? Zong Sui’s Sixth Princess, who was the one who was dealt a lesson by my Second Sister until they almost died? Who was the one who was pulled by His Highness the Seventh Prince under his horse from outside the city gates to the death row prison? Yu Qianyin, when talking about others, do not forget your own past shame. If you forgot, I can help you remember! So? Unable to obtain His Highness the Seventh Prince then, why have you come to Da Shun now? Have you not given up yet?”
Yu Qianyin did not think that Feng Fendai could mention this matter, in fact, the incidents which happened that year was the biggest shame she experienced in her life, the eternal hate harboured in her heart! Even towards that Xuan Tianhua, she hated him so much that no feelings of live was left. The man she used to love deeply, she currently had the urge to tear out his tendons and pull off his skin. If Xuan Tianhua ended up in her hands one day, she would definitely make that person have a taste of all the pain she suffered before.
Yu Qianyin grunted angrily, standing up. She ignored Feng Fendai and stared at Xiao Bao intently. This action caused Feng Fendai’s heart to tremble, and she blurted out: “Yu Qianyin, what are you planning to do?”
“Hmph!” Yu Qianyin scoffed coldly, “I want to see if there is really no sense of kinship between you Feng siblings! Say, if I kill this child in front of you, would you still mock This Princess?”
“You……” Fendai was tongue-tied, in a panic, her body moved forward subconsciously, trying her best to block Xiao Bao, saying loudly: “Yu Qianyin! You made a mistake capturing me, why are you venting it out on a child? If you have the ability, go capture the person you want to capture, is it because you do not know where to capture them? I can tell you, go to the imperial hunting grounds, go to the camping grounds and capture that Feng Xiangrong! You know Feng Xiangrong, right? Feng family’s third daughter, you should be capturing her the most!”
Yu Qianyin did not understand, “Feng family’s third daughter? Why should I capture her?” Damn it, she wanted to capture Li Kun, but did not expect to capture Feng Fendai in an act of muddle-headedness. She was filled with frustration now, and this Feng Fendai was shouting something and asking her to capture Feng Xiangrong? Had she fallen into the clutches of the Feng family? Was she unable to rid herself of the Feng family’s children?
But Fendai did not think this way, she only wanted to protect her younger brother now, this child who she normally scolded and hit, when it became a matter of life and death, she still wanted to protect him tightly. Therefore, she would rather betray Feng Xiangrong!
“Of course you have to capture her!” Fendai said anxiously: “You still do not know yet, right? Ever since the period before the New Year, Feng Xiangrong has been staying at Chun Palace, staying together with His Highness the Seventh Prince. Don’t you like His Highness the Seventh Prince? But he is going to marry Feng Xiangrong very soon, aren’t you jealous at all?”
Yu Qianyin was truly surprised by Fendai’s words, the impression she had of the Seventh Prince was someone who was like a deity, wanting him to marry a wife, wanting him to become close to a woman on his own accord, how difficult is that? At that time, she thought of everything she could to be able to stay at the Chun Palace for a while, but that Feng Xiangrong, what right did she have to stay from New Year to early autumn? Based on what?
Her feelings of hatred rose up again, she stared at Feng Fendai and asked her harshly: “What you spoke of, that is the truth?”
“Naturally!” Fendai looked at her and said: “You have anger, but you are taking it out on the wrong party, your most likely target should be Feng Xiangrong and not us sister and brother. If you’re looking at this from the angle of Zong Sui and Da Shun, you should look for the Sixth Prince and Ninth Prince to settle the debt; if it is from a personal angle, you should look for Feng Xiangrong, it should not fall to me at all! The person I will marry is only a prince who is not favoured and does not have any power or authority. In fact, he angered the Emperor many years ago because he had a relationship with a concubine in the palace, therefore, no matter which angle you want to view this from, I am not the target of your actions. Yu Qianyin, find the right person to take responsibility, let us siblings off. I, Feng Fendai , am willing to help you!”
