FID – Chapter 236.1

Bandit who came to rob people

The next day Feng Qingbai appeared at Qiande Palace, and was confronted with the pathetic expression of the boy squatting at the door.

“What are you doing?”

“Imperial Uncle, I’m hungry…” He’d been hungry all night – too hungry to sleep!

Had he known, he would have returned after dinner at the royal residence!

Feng Qingbai rubbed his eyebrows. “You’re hungry and you didn’t ask for food?”

“I was afraid that the old witch would know if I asked for food,” He just returned sick. If he turned around and appeared lively in his own chambers to eat, wasn’t that directly telling others that his stubborn disease claim was nothing but faked?

“You returned to your bedchamber for a rest and recovered a bit after a while. Naturally you’ll be hungry and want to eat. Do you think she won’t suspect you if you don’t eat?” Feng Qingbai knew everything that happened in the palace. The boy was still childish.

Feng Mohan: “…” His Imperial Uncle was too right. It was him who suffered from this hunger!

Breakfast was served, and Feng Mohan almost gobbled them up.

He swallowed so fast he finished the meal in a blink of an eye.

“Don’t eat too much, lest you’ll be uncomfortable later.”

“It’s okay. There is Aunt Liu’s digestion tea. I’m not afraid of overeating!”

Feng Qingbai again pressed on his frequently twitching eyebrows. After their return from Xinghua Village, Feng Mohan almost changed appearance, one by one, the list of his crooked ways were getting longer!

“Last night, the old witch was hypocritical. She said that we’re all of the same family and bound together for good or ill. I really wanted to scratch her face with my paw! She really has the nerve to say that! The Liu family is my mother’s family? Stand behind me? Snort!” The boy chattered and gritted his teeth when talking about the Liu family. If it weren’t for the Liu family, I wouldn’t have suffered for so many years! If it weren’t for Aunt Liu, I would have been buried deep in the ground after two more years at most!”

“Mind your words and actions! This is in the palace!” Feng Qingbai also gritted his teeth.

“What are you afraid of? With you here, who can eavesdrop?”

Feng Qingbai smacked him at the back of his head, and the boy’s whole face snapped into the bowl. He wailed, “Imperial Uncle!”

Feng Qingbai looked at his palm, and his entire face turned black.

He too acquired the grandparents’ habits back in Xinghua Village when they couldn’t stand it.

…

In October, a carriage with gold bells hanging from all four corners and even the curtains embroidered with gold thread slowly drove into the capital’s territory.

“We still have two hours before entering the city. We’ve been trekking through the mountains and rivers, and I can finally take a good rest.” Knowing that they were about to reach the capital, Qian Wanjin shed off the days of decadence and came to the spirit.

He wanted to take Lucky Nannan and Liu Zhixia to his home for a visit, and arrange for them to live next door to him. That way, anyone from their shops could talk to him and Lucky Nannan together!

He wanted to show her the winery in the capital. The scale was much larger than the Xinghua Village winery!

“When we enter the capital, I will go back to the Qian Residence with you to meet Uncle Qian,” Shi Xianrou said.

“No, you can go straight home. You’ve been away from home for several months, so your family should miss you very much.”

“If I don’t go, are you sure you can handle it?”

“…When I first took you away from the capital, I’m supposed to meet your father first, lest he think I sold you out.”

Xue Qinglian immediately snorted softly. He’d heard counselings, but never something like this.

He even fought against such people. Now that he thought about it, he felt like he has downgraded.

Liu Yusheng lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery that flew behind the carriage window. Her expectation deep inside was getting thicker and thicker, but she also felt increasingly nervous.

She was about to arrive in the city he was in. Did he know she was here?

What would his reaction be when he saw her?

The closer they got to the capital, the tighter the thread that twisted in her heart.

The thought of seeing him intensified.

“I need to visit Lord Yang after I arrive at the capital, so I may not be able to stay with you all the time. Will you join Xiao Jinzi or … look for Feng Qingbai?” Find Feng Qingbai? Lu Zhixia was quite not uneasy.

Would Feng Qingbai in the capital still treat Nannan the same as when she was in Xinghua Village?
