Chapter 1119

We Are Only Strangers

Feng Fendai came to see Feng Yuheng, her purpose was very clear, she wanted to bring Xiao Bao back. This morning, she heard the news that Princess Yu and Prince Chun had exterminated a group of Zong Sui renegades last year, rescuing a child. This was when she knew that Xiao Bao was rescued.

Yu Qianyin and her group were very secretive when taking action, the Fifth Prince searched for so many days outside but did not obtain any clues at all, but she knew, as long as Feng Yuheng was willing to take action, she would definitely be able to find him.

As expected, Xiao Bao was rescued by Feng Yuheng in the end, but she hesitated in her manor for the whole morning, and it was only now did she pluck up her courage to go to Yu Palace. However, when facing this Second Sister, she did not have any confidence at all. The arrogance and obstinance she had already been smoothened out by Feng Yuheng long ago. In her own manor, in front of the Fifth Prince would always gave in to her, she could still act high and mighty, but with Feng Yuheng, she could not express any of this at all.

Huang Quan went to get Xiao Bao, throwing down a sentence when she left: “That child was taken by the servants to coax him to sleep, we do not know if he is willing to go with you. We had thought that Fourth Miss does not want that child, since he was hit and scolded when he was raised at your place, it appears that you dislike him very much.”

In response to Huang Quan’s cold words, Fendai did not say anything, only standing up after Huang Quan left, bowing towards Feng Yuheng, saying: “Many thanks to Princess Yu for rescuing my younger brother, I do not have any valuable objects to express my gratitude, just accept a kowtow from me, consider this my sincerity!” After saying this, she knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Feng Yuheng for the first time in her life.

Feng Yuheng did not stop her, Feng Fendai had a strange temper, she never thought that the actions of this girl at any given moment would represent hat she would always behave like this. Just like how she was kowtowing in thanks now, it was possible that she would become hostile in the blink of an eye.

Feng Yuheng had a muted attitude to Fendai, just like she was a stranger, this caused Fendai to feel a little awkward. Standing up on her own, glancing at the person sitting at the host seat, she did not say anymore, returning to her chair, peacefully waiting for Huang Quan to bring Xiao Bao out.

Huang Quan did not make her wait for too long, it was just that when she returned, Xiao Bao was being carried by a granny and was sleeping deeply. Dong Ying approached and received the child. Seeing that the child had a good complexion and knowing that he did not suffer that much, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. She wanted to establish eye contact with Fendai, but Fendai ignored her, only saying to Feng Yuheng: “Can I see Third Sister?” Thinking about it again, she changed her words, “Or…… I should address her as Feng Third Miss.”

Feng Yuheng smiled, “This humble behaviour does not match my memories of Feng Fendai. Why? You feel guilty?”

Fendai’s cheeks heated up because of what she said, only lowering her head and not rebuking. Hearing Feng Yuheng say again: “Xiangrong is staying at Chun Palace now, it is useless for you to request it from me, if you really want to see her, then knock on the gates of Chun Palace. But whether you can enter, that is something which is not guaranteed.”

Fendai’s brow twitched and she did not mention wanting to see Xiangrong any longer. She understood in her heart, Prince Chun looks like a deity and it seemed it was easy to negotiate with him, but in reality, he was the most unreasonable one amongst all the princes. It was easy to negotiate with him on things which were not related to principles, but once his bottom line was touched, his revenge was definitely much fiercer than the ones carried out by the Ninth Prince.

Fendai trembled, a soundless sigh rising up within her heart, raising her head again and looking at Feng Yuheng, she asked after half a beat, “Second Sister, do you hate me?”

Feng Yuheng’s gaze was still muted, still remembering to remind her: “Just address me as Princess Yu, I am not worthy of the words Second Sister. When you marry His Highness the Fifth Prince in the future, I still have to address you as Older Sister-in-law! We can just see it from this direction.” After saying this, she drank a mouthful of tea, speaking again: “There’s nothing to discuss over feeling hatred or not, people live for their own sake, in addition, you were not only doing it for you own sake, but for your younger brother’s sake as well. I cannot say that Xiangrong’s life is more valuable than Xiao Bao’s, so I cannot blame you for thinking about who to protect first when you are in danger. In the end, you and I are just strangers, why should I hate you?”

With one sentence of stranger, the distance between Fendai and her were pulled far away again. Fendai was stunned, wanting to say something, but she could not say anything in the end. When she was younger, she felt that her Second Sister, who was the first ranked daughter was unreachable, then Feng Yuheng was sent away later, and she was happy for many years. But when Feng Yuheng returned again, it was as if the Feng family was grasped in her hands, making or ruining them at will, anyone who she had a grudge with, anyone who she felt animosity to, anyone who offended her, no one was able to escape punishment.

Actually, thinking about this, she was considered good, at least she was still alive, Feng Yuheng also did not do anything much to her. Thinking about it, she should be grateful, but her temperament since young did not allow her to really lower her head towards these sisters. Even if she knelt down just now, even if she also kowtowed just now, it was what Feng Yuheng thought, Feng Fendai’s temperament was difficult to grasp, it changed greatly, what she did earlier did not mean that she would continue doing so.

Just like right now, after a few rounds of careful thinking, her stubborn streak in her bones rose up again. She stood up, received Xiao Bao from Dong Ying’s arms, then shook him forcefully a few times, quickly shaking that child awake.

Once Xiao Bao opened his eyes, blearily seeing Feng Fendai, even though he just woke up, after seeing his older sister, happiness quickly replaced the sleepiness he felt. The child grinned and he chuckled, even calling out: “Older Sister! Older Sister! Xiao Bao misses you!”

Feng Fendai only looked at him expressionlessly, then put the child who already woken up onto the ground, saying coldly: “Since you woke up, then walk on your own.” After saying this, she bowed slightly to Feng Yuheng: “Princess Yu, many thanks for your assistance, we will be leaving.”

The three of them left quickly, with Dong Ying holding onto Xiao Bao’s hand the whole time. Feng Fendai was walking in front with quick steps, and no compassion could be felt from her at all. Xiao Bao’s steps were not so large to chase after her, almost falling down a few times, Dong Ying could not continue watching and could only make an effort, picking up the child again.

Huang Quan watched their backs as they left, saying angrily: “That Feng Fendai really resembles the people of the Feng family in the past! A complete white eyed wolf, unable to mature at all.”

(Translator’s note: A white eyed wolf is someone who forgets the kindness given to them and would not recognise or treat their benefactors well later on.)

“Hoho.” Feng Yuheng laughed, “A wolf who wouldn’t mature? Feng Jinyuan said this about me in the past. In the end, every person has their own fates, if she is willing to live like this, we cannot manage her as well. That girl’s heart is higher than the sky, and she is fixated on fighting to obtain a fate which can match that ambitious heart of hers, but unable to see the light after fighting until now, it appears that she is anxious.”

“She plotted together with Yu Qianyin to harm Third Miss, Young Miss is really not angry at her?” Huang Quan started to seek justice for Xiangrong, “Third Miss is really pitiful, being plotted against by her own younger sister and almost lost her life!”

But Feng Yuheng shook her head: “Actually what I said to her just now was considered the truth, in order to save Xiao Bao she had no choice but to betray Xiangrong. When looking into this matter, there is no right or wrong, she was only choosing between her younger brother from the same mother and different father and her older sister from the same father and different mother. Since she chose Xiao Bao, then she naturally broke that kinship with XIangrong, so from now on, we just won’t contact each other, there is no place to talk about getting angry at her or not.”

At this moment, Feng Fendai had walked to the palace gates, the gatekeeper opened the gate for her and she walked out first, but before she finished walking down the stairs, she saw the Fifth Prince Xuan Tianyan riding a horse and heading over, dismounting the horse in front of her, then seeing Xiao Bao in Dong Ying’s arms, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let me!” He took two steps forward, then received the child from Dong Ying’s arms. Xiao Bao was a little afraid when seeing him, wanting to hide, Xuan Tianyan quickly reassured him: “Don’t be scared, older brother does not blame you for secretly running off.”

Feng Fendai glared at him, seeing Xuan Tianyan carrying Xiao Bao and constantly placating him, she suddenly felt some pain in her heart. She did not know what she was thinking, suddenly opening her mouth, saying: “Xuan Tianyan, let’s break off the engagement! After going back, I will order someone to send the eight characters letter back to you, you and I should not talk about marriage anymore.”

Xuan Tianyan was stunned: “What did you say?” He acted like he did not hear it well, questioning further anxiously: “Fendai, what are you saying?”

Feng Fendai repeated each word again, and when she said “Let’s break off the engagement”, Xuan Tianyan became anxious, he thought that Fendai became angry because of the matter with Xiao Bao, after all, the child went missing for so many days but he could not find him, and the child was brought back by Feng Yuheng in the end. The two sisters, Fendai and Feng Yuheng never got along, the person Fendai was most unwilling to lower herself and plead to was her Second Sister, but currently, for Xiao Bao’s sake, she had no choice but to come here, he thought that Fendai had suffered grievance in Yu Palace and could not help but speak loudly: “Even though she is your Second Sister, she is also my Ninth Brother’s wife, in the end, she still needs to address me as Fifth Brother. If she gave you a hard time, I will go and reason with her now, she cannot bully you just because she was the one who found Xiao Bao!”

As Xuan Tianyan spoke, he wanted to barge into Yu Palace, but Dong Ying took one step and stopped him, this girl shaking her head at Xuan Tianyan, using her gaze to express that this was not the case. Xuan Tianyan then asked Fendai again: “What is up with you? Why do you say such words? Or are you complaining that I did not have the ability and could not get Xiao Bao back? If it is because of that, I will keep you company, it is true that my abilities are lacking, and you can be angry, but for words like that, you cannot speak of that lightly!”

“I am not speaking lightly of this.” Feng Fendai looked at him, saying very seriously: “I am sincerely wanting to break off the engagement with you. Xuan Tianyan, you are a prince, you can get whatever you want. However I am just the daughter of a concubine from a fallen family, from my identity, I am not a match for you at all, in addition, my temper is this bad, rebuking you on the lighter end and scolding you outright on the heavier end, why should you tolerate me? Xuan Tianyan, I know why you are together with me, and I also know how much effort I put in just for me to get an engagement with you. But those are all matters of the past, I have already lost such thoughts long ago, so, our engagement, let’s break it off!”

Xuan Tianyan listened to her speak and gradually felt that he did not seem to recognise the woman in front of him, everything was so foreign, foreign to the point that he could not remember when she started to walk into his life.

Those are all matters of the past…… that’s right! They were all matters of the past, but the only thing he could not forget, was that past!
