Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife - Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Father Really is Loving and Just

Feng Zi Rui did not understand and unhappily asked: “Why?”

Yao shi explained it to him: “Because inside this manor, the two of you only have one mother, and that is Chen shi . Not only you two, but all of the children in Feng Manor only have one mother . ”

Feng Zi Rui still did not understand but did not ask further . He lowered his head and puffed his cheeks out in a pout .

Yao shi turned to beg of Feng Yu Heng, “A-Heng, you’re the older sister . There are some things that cannot be immediately changed when we want them to . At least keep up appearances in front of other people . ”

Feng Yu Heng nodded as she understood . Yao shi acting like this was already a huge improvement . She could not ask for her to instantly change too much .

“Zi Rui . ” She patted the child’s head, “We will always only have one mother, but in front of people from the outside we must at least put on an act . That’s all . For the time being, call that person mother . Sooner or later, a day will come where we will not be treated like this . ”

Feng Zi Rui found that he liked listening to his sister talk more and more, especially after leaving the village . His sister compared to before seemed to be very different . Small children don’t know how to use many descriptive words, but he thought that she had become more fierce . He admired her even more .

He nodded fiercely, “Zi Rui will listen to everything sister says . We will act and call her mother for now . That’s all . ”

Feng Yu Heng was amused by Zi Rui’s expressions . Looking at the children, Yao shi, once again, fell in to a trance .

This type of trance had happened just once on the path to the Willow courtyard . It was also that one time that had caused a subtle change in her mindset . Presently, that subtle change had begun to slowly develop . It was as if there were a type of force that drove her to get a taste of a life she did not dare live before . It caused her to look forward to and rejoice in the changes in Feng Yu Heng .

Not long after, granny Sun returned along with granny Li, Man Xi and Bao Tang .

Granny Sun’s face had a calm expression, while the three behind her carried trays . The trays had bowls and chopsticks, reminding them it was lunch time .

Granny Li fixed a professional smile to her face upon entering the room and gestured for the two girls to place the bowls and chopsticks on the table . Then she said to Yao shi: “Concubine Yao, quickly, please eat . ”

They looked towards the dishes, and Yao shi frowned, while Feng Zi Rui stared blankly, not daring to believe his eyes . Feng Yu Heng directly laughed with anger .

What was this that had been brought here? Food for humans?

A tiny bowl that was not even half-filled with rice; furthermore, the husks had not been cleaned from the rice . A plate of boiled radish, a plate of chopped, raw lettuce and a bowl of soup with only two stalks of vegetable . Not a drop of oil, nor piece of meat could be seen .

Seeing the three stare blankly as the dishes were served, granny Li smiled to herself .

There were many ways of dealing with people inside the manor without violence or cursing, some that specially drove people to death . The second young miss was only twelve years old . Her earlier display of force was merely something she had acted out and was good enough to bluff a child like the fourth young miss . Assessing the situation, how could she, who had been treated well for half her life, be afraid of a child?

Man Xi and Bao Tang also closely watched their so-called masters . They forcefully hid their jubilation and waited for the second miss to begin sniveling . After all, a second miss that could be bullied was easier to deal with than the scary second miss from earlier .

Feng Yu Heng blinked a few times then suddenly grabbed granny Li’s hand . Granny Li was so frightened, she retreated a couple steps and desperately wanted to pull her hand away; however, she found that the second young miss’ strength was not normal . Her two hands were like steel vices, forcefully holding her in place . No matter what, she could not pull her hand back .

“Second young miss . ” Granny Li began to get scared . “What does the second young miss mean by this?”

Looking at Feng Yu Heng, she indeed had a depressed face that was on the verge of crying . “The concubines of the Feng manor are fed this? How does one swallow this stuff?”

Granny Li breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that yielding would be enough .

But Yao shi and Feng Zi Rui along with granny Sun had been with Feng Yu Heng the entire time . They understood her personality quite well . They did not believe that Feng Yu Heng would be discouraged by these dishes alone . Worst case scenario, she had another devilish trick . In fact, they were a little interested to see what may occur .

Sure enough, the happy feelings the three had begun to feel were swiftly brought to an end, as Feng Yu Heng continued: “I originally thought that father exiled us to that mountain village because he didn’t want us . Who knew that he was looking out for our well being . ”
