193 I’m afraid some people will be unhappy when I go home 1
"Thank you, King Huai, for the advice." She said carelessly, "Can you let me go?"
"Okay, one last thing."
Feng Hongluan turned her back to him, as if she didn't even want to look at him. She only heard a faint and gentle voice coming from behind: "I've lost a lot of weight. I'll go back and recuperate."
I didn't expect him to say this, but Feng Hongluan wasn't too moved. She said "Thank you for your concern" lukewarmly and strode out.

As soon as Feng Hongluan left, a figure flashed out from behind the screen in the room. Looking at Feng Hongluan's disappearing back, he said coldly: "Keep an eye on her, don't let her do bad things."
"Don't worry, I believe her. She won't go back on what she promised. Just like your marriage to Lao Wu, when do you plan to let Lao Wu go?"
"When he agrees to marry Xia Rongling as my concubine, I will naturally let him go."
"Ha!" King Huai smiled helplessly and looked at the direction in which Feng Hongluan disappeared, "You should know Lao Wu's temper, why bother to embarrass him."
"It's not that it's difficult. He should know in his heart what his mission is."
"What about Feng Hongluan?"
"If Manman agrees, let him be your concubine."
"Aren't you afraid that Lao Wu will turn against you and me?"
"I'm just afraid that you will become haggard because of Yi."
King Huai paused for a moment, with a hint of sadness on his face. He shook his head and said, "I just want to be in the distance, not to play with."
"Haha, what's so good about this woman? Even if one of my two brothers doesn't want to marry someone else, and the other is haggard for me, I would like to know someday."
"Brother Imperial, you..."

When she woke up early that morning, Mrs. Dong felt uneasy and went to He Jixiang's Shuangfei Pavilion. He Jixiang was doing embroidery. The pattern he embroidered was that of a tiger climbing up the mountain. Now the whole body has been embroidered, lifelike and golden.
The black silk threads are intertwined, and for hundreds of years it is a fine tiger stripe, as if the tiger skin had been peeled off and pasted on.
The arrival of Mrs. Dong caused He Jixiang to temporarily stop the needlework in his hands. He quickly stood up and took Mrs. Dong's hand from Lixiang's hand. He said softly: "Mom, I happened to embroider a tiger-patterned money bag for daddy.
Mom, look at it, does it look good?"
Feng Hongluan has been missing for seven days. There is no news. Fengcheng has no desire for tea or food. He leads the army to search day and night. Finally, he is exhausted. He has been bedridden for the past few days, in a daze, muttering about Feng Hongluan.
Every time He Jixiang went to visit him, he always mistakenly identified He Jixiang as Feng Hongluan. When he saw clearly who it was, he had a cold face and refused to pay attention to it.
On the other hand, He Jixiang worked tirelessly and fed him three meals a day. No matter how sarcastic and cold-faced Fengcheng was, she was happy with it and never complained. This situation lasted for three days, and Fengcheng still treated He Jixiang indifferently.
surname is old
attitude, but He Jixiang is becoming more and more considerate towards Fengcheng. That day, she heard Luo He accidentally say that Fengcheng's wallet was broken. She worked non-stop to select materials and patterns, stayed up late at night, and worked day and night to sew for Fengcheng.
Make a new money bag.
Everyone sees He Jixiang's filial piety in their eyes, and He Jixiang also believes that as long as Feng Hongluan does not return for a day, one day Fengcheng will gradually despair, and then transfer all his love for Feng Hongluan to
For her only daughter.
Mrs. Dong also understood He Jixiang's intentions, took the wallet and took a look at it, and praised: "It's really good, the workmanship is exquisite. Your father likes tigers the most. He will definitely like this purse you embroidered. You are so sincere that gold and stone will open."
, if things go on like this, even if your father still has a grudge against us, one day he will clear up the dark clouds and see the light of day."
"Well, mother is right." He Jixiang said with a smile, "In two days, I will ask my mother to sell my childhood Ruyi Suo Jinhuan and buy back the jade bracelet. I will
Wear it every day, and then tell your dad more about your childhood, and he will always think of my mother and me."
"Ji Xiang, actually, Mom came here because she has been feeling restless today. How about you accompany Mom to Taiguan Temple to burn incense?"
"What's wrong, mother?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because your father has been too indifferent to me these past few days, which makes me feel bad. Over the years, although he can't treat me as well as your aunt, he has always treated me with courtesy, treating each other with the same level of respect as a guest.
, now he is as indifferent to me as frost, and I feel uncomfortable when my hot face is pressed against my cold butt all day long."
He Jixiang felt quite distressed: "Mom, if that's the case, then I'll ask Lan Xiang to order the kitchen to prepare some vegetarian dishes, and we'll go up the mountain to worship Buddha together."
Mrs. Dong smiled slightly: "Let's make arrangements now. It happens to be warmer in the afternoon and it's convenient to go out. Lixiang, I'll have lunch here. You go to the house and get me a big cloak and a pair of deers."
Leather boots, by the way, remember those scraps of silver and donate some merit."
"Yes, ma'am."
In this room, the mother and daughter made arrangements to go up the mountain to worship the gods. In the other room, Feng Hongluan was on the carriage back to the capital, reading the letter the old woman had written to her before she left.
The letter stated that he hoped she would keep her promise, otherwise the Feng Mansion would be disturbed.
The letter also said that he would not harm those women, and told her not to worry, just do her own thing, stop meddling in other people's business, and she would do what she promised not to rob women again.
At the end of the letter, he wrote something out of place, asking her to eat more and gain weight.
After reading it, she tore up the letter and threw it on the roadside.
Once a word is made, it will be hard to follow, and no matter how unwilling she is, she will keep her promise and no longer interfere in this matter, because people should judge their own abilities, and she knows that her weight is completely unable to compete with "that person" in King Huai's mouth.
If there is a forced confrontation, either both parties will suffer losses, or the Feng Mansion will be implicated.
Although she didn't know who that person was, she must be a powerful character. She still remembered that the old woman had told her to find out her identity. If she was an official woman, she would be killed directly. If she dared to act so recklessly and kill an official woman,
People need not only extraordinary courage, but also a strong ability to hide from others.
If Feng Hongluan's guess is correct, "that person" must be an official, and this official must not be a small official, but someone who has some power in the court, is friends with King Huai, and can control the Yamen to investigate the case
