Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife - Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Those That Feng Yu Heng Adore

“Uh?” Seeing Feng Yu Heng suddenly changed her tone . Xiang Rong was shocked to the point of not knowing how to respond . Thinking hard for a long time, she nodded, “I have been well, second sister as well?” Without waiting for Feng Yu Heng to respond, she looked towards Yao shi: “Mother… Concubine mother, have you been well?”

Hearing Xiang Rong subconsciously call Yao shi mother, the smile on Feng Yu Heng’s face became more natural .

But Yao shi was nodded with a bit of a cold indifference and did not speak .

Xiang Rong was quite embarrassed . She reached an arm in to her sleeve and pulled out a small paper packet . Having handed it to Zi Rui, she said: “Concubine mother is still waiting for me . I will come see second sister if I get a chance . ” She turned and ran away .

Feng Yu Heng watched Xiang Rong run further and further away, as her memories slowly became clearer .

She could remember that Xiang Rong and Fen Dai were born in the same year, both were two years younger than her . Since she was little, Xiang Rong loved to follow her around . Her hair wrapped in to small buns on her head . She used to be quite chubby like the baby from a New Year’s picture1 . While learning calligraphy with a teacher at a pavilion, that girl lay on her stomach on a stone table not too far away . Her hands supporting her cheeks, she just watched .

Only, at that time, she was still the daughter of the first wife . The lessons the manor had arranged for her, the daughters of a concubine didn’t have the qualifications to learn with her . It was a pity she hadn’t paid attention to the little sister’s desire to get closer to her . Even up to the Yao family’s incident, with the mother and children being chased from the manor . On the day they were leaving, she could still see that child crying, as they got further and further away from the manor .

Following Yao shi’s quiet sigh, Feng Yu Heng turned around and handed the empty basin in to granny Sun . Explaining to the servants to continue working, she pulled Yao shi and Zi Rui in to the room .

Zi Rui opened the paper packet he was holding . Inside were a few soft treats . With just a look, it was clear they were freshly made .

The child greedily inhaled the scent of the treats, the saliva almost drooling out of his mouth . Yet, he did not dare to eat . Instead, he anxiously looked at Feng Yu Heng .

She looked at the treats then nodded to Zi Rui: “Go ahead, eat . ” Hearing this, the child happily began to eat, but he did not forget to give some to his sister and mother .

At this moment, granny Sun picked up the cloth bag that Fen Dai had thrown and come inside . While walking, she said: “Although the fourth young miss has always been domineering, she has never acted like this in the past few years . It’s clear she came to scout us out . What have we done to offend her?”

Feng Yu Heng coldly snorted, “Some people don’t necessarily need to resolve their debts before feeling sorry for them . These sorts of people love to find trouble where there is none . Even without wind, they could make waves three-stories high . Even more so when we have just arrived . She just came to openly declare her superiority . Sadly, the Feng manor never had a place for the daughters of concubines to speak . I am the daughter of a concubine . She is the same . ”

Yao shi received the cloth bag granny Sun held and opened it . Inside, were clothes that Feng Yu Heng had worn before leaving the manor . Looking over these clothes, Yao shi’s eyes became red .

Faced with an always very emotional Yao shi, Feng Yu Heng did not know how to comfort her . She had grown accustomed to the military in her previous life . The people around her were men who would not let out a sound even if their bones broke . How could she have dealt with someone like Yao shi, who would start crying over anything .

Thankfully, there were Feng Zi Rui and granny Sun, especially Zi Rui, who was naturally good at comforting others . Seeing Yao shi’s eyes redden, he immediately put his hands in his dear mother’s palms, then he raised his head and spoke in a calming voice: “Dearest mother, don’t cry . The clothes are smaller, so they’ll fit Zi Rui . ”

Yao shi let out a laugh and smiled . Holding Zi Rui’s hand, she spoke: “Silly child, these clothes are for girls to wear, how could you wear them?”

Feng Zi Rui blinked a few times, “If mother is smiling then it’s ok . ”

While Yao shi did smile, she was still worried . She pulled at Feng Yu Heng and pointed outside: “Granny Li was Chen shi’s wet nurse . If she sent over her own wet nurse, then surely they’re not just here to help out . ”

Granny Sun continued: “As for Man Xi and Bao Tang, the head wife really likes valuable items . She even gave the servants closest to her names like Jin Yu and Man Tang . Those four are the head wife’s top personal servants . ”

Yao shi added even more: “Personally, I quite like that child, Xiang Rong . When she came over earlier, I was worried I would get her caught up in our troubles . Thus, I did not dare act too familiar . With those three around, it’s possible that every word we say will end up transmitted back to the Golden Jade courtyard . ”

Yao shi and granny Sun’s faces appeared very concerned . Feng Yu Heng, however, felt this was normal . If the Feng manor didn’t send people to observe them, then that would be odd .

Looking again at the clothes in the cloth bag, they were a little old, but they did not look as if no one had worn them these past few years . One garment’s sleeve was worn to the point of fraying . As she was the daughter of the first wife in the Feng manor, there was no activity that would cause this to happen .

Thinking back, after she had left the manor, the things in her room should have been taken by Feng Fen Dai . For the daughter of a concubine, these materials would be considered exceptionally good . Their ages were only two years apart, so these clothes would barely fit Feng Dai .

After wearing it ragged, she threw it away back to her? Feng Yu Heng raised the corner of her lips . Sometimes she really could not understand the feelings and thoughts of children . Using these sorts of tricks to annoy her? Truly too innocent!
