FID – Chapter 449

Chapter 449: They Couldn’t Die or Live Well

  There was only so much Feng Qingbai could do.

  The real crux of the problem was Liu Zhixia.

  The final outcome of the matter would depend on his next step.

  Because of Fu Yuzheng’s sudden departure, the family lost their spirit that night. They finished their evening meal hastily and went to bed.

  No one was in the mood for the Number One Scholar title.

  Liu Zhixia sat alone in the hall for a long time. He opened the crumpled letter paper several times, and read it word by word, he could almost recite it backwards. He didn’t focus on the beautiful calligraphy but on the stains left on it.

  It was her tears, which fell on the paper, burning his heart.

  He had been previously unaware of her pain, but still rejoiced that she had returned to normal, looking forward to a bright future that awaited them.

  Whenever he showed those expectations and joys in front of her, she must have been forcing a smile on her face, right?

  He dragged his weary self out of the hall and walked back to Liuyun Pavilion.

  At the entrance of Liuyun Pavilion, Wei Zi was waiting.

  When he saw him coming, he handed him a note: “Young Master Liu, Master instructed me to give this to you. Master said that you should make sure to solve the crux of the matter, before picking her up, so as not to toss back and forth.”

  Liu Zhixia took the note in a daze. It was light and almost weightless, but it made him feel hot.

  The address written on the note was in a certain alley in the capital.

  It was extremely close to him.

  He thought that since she was planning to run away, she would definitely go far away from him.

  He didn’t expect her to be within his reach.

  Blind spot.

  She was truly an expert in hiding.

  Liu Zhixia smiled bitterly, cupped the piece of paper and slowly walked back to his room.

  In Liuyun Pavilion, Liu Yusheng was still not asleep.

  She grabbed the man beside her and asked, “Did you really find Yuzheng?”

  ”Before the metropolitan exam, Zhixia told me to pay more attention to her. Of course, I won’t ignore his request.” He pinched her cheek with amusement.

  If he hadn’t seen her tossing and turning restlessly, he didn’t intend to inform Liu Zhixia now.

  An emotional entanglement wasn’t so easy to solve. If Fu Yuzheng couldn’t unravel hers, they might as well stay poles apart.

  Otherwise, when she was caught back, she’d only suffer more.

  Only then did Liu Yusheng breathe a sigh of relief. “Do you think that my brother can get Yuzheng back?”

  ”That depends on what he does.”

  ”If it were you, what would you do?”

  Feng Qingbai’s face immediately sank. “Shengsheng, I won’t let that happen to you. Nothing bad will ever happen between us.”

  If he couldn’t protect her well, he wouldn’t have let her appear in front of his enemies.

  Having walked out, he would not let any eventuality happen.

  Liu Yusheng was scared by the outbreak of cold intent from him. She shrank her neck, and then arched into his arms while muttering, “I was just assuming. Why are you taking it so seriously?”

  ”Don’t make such assumptions.” If anything happened to her, a river of blood would flow in the capital.

  ”I know.” The little girl wrinkled her nose at him, then pushed him, “Go back to your bedroom. I’m going to bed.”

  ”I’m sleeping here.”

  ”No. If my grandparents know, they’ll break your legs.”

  ”They won’t know.”

  ”That won’t work either…”

  She argued aplenty, wanting to drive him away, but Feng Qingbai turned around and blocked all the little girl’s words.

  The next morning, Liu Zhixia called all the elders to the flower hall and dismissed all the servants around.

  Looking at this battle posture, Grandpa Liu was a little worried. He had a hunch that Zhixia was going to tell them something major.

  It was a big deal that couldn’t be heard.

  Liu Yusheng also wanted to join in, but Feng Qingbai pulled her back.

  ”I already told you what you want to know. You’re a junior. If you’re there, Zhixia will find it inconvenient to say some things.”

  Liu Yusheng’s shoulders instantly collapsed.

  Seeing her wilted appearance, Feng Qingbai chuckled in amusement. He brushed her hair and said, “Shall I take you to see Fu Yuzheng?”

  ”Right now?”

  ”Let’s go.”

  She learned from Feng Qingbai that Yuzheng actually stayed in the capital and didn’t go far, but she didn’t know where exactly she was.

  No sooner had the two of them reached the entrance of the royal residence, Qian Wanjin’s breathless shout came from across the street.

  ”Where are you guys going, huh? Where is Zhixia? I’m here to congratulate the Number One Scholar. Call Zhixia and Yuzheng. Let’s go out together, shall we?”

  Qian Wanjin looked like he was walking on air today. He was in a pleasant mood, and when he spoke, his eyebrows danced with the splendor of spring.

  Shi Xianrou was following close behind him. Her pace was unhurried, but her eyes were glued dotingly on Qian Wanjin.

  The deep affection between the two was increasingly becoming obvious. Something was going on, ah.

  However, now wasn’t the time to talk about it. Liu Yusheng signaled Qian Wanjin to be silent, pointing out the door for them to walk out together.

  Qian Wanjin was at a loss. He ran here early in the morning and was dragged out just as he entered the door. “Lucky Nannan, what happened?”

  At this time, they should be celebrating Liu Zhixia. Why did Lucky Nannan look unhappy?

  Then shouldn’t he tuck his expression away to match her?

  But he couldn’t control himself, ah.

  ”What’s going on?” Shi Xianrou also sensed that something was wrong.

  ”Yuzheng is gone. Let’s talk as we walk,” Liu Yusheng said.

  Shi Xianrou immediately frowned. Qian Wanjin was even more puzzled. He glanced at Feng Qingbai and asked, “Why is Yuzheng gone? She’ll soon be the wife of the Number One Scholar, reaping all the sweetness after the hardships. Don’t tell me there are mishaps again?”

  His logic was so simple that Feng Qingbai expressed his disdain to talk to him with a flitting glance.

  While Qian Wanjin was hopping mad, Shi Xianrou pulled his wife into the carriage.

  ”Nannan, what is going on?” Shi Xianrou asked immediately after taking a seat.

  She knew Yuzheng’s nature. She was noble and arrogant, but unless something unbearable happened, she would never leave Liu Zhixia.

  ”Previously, Fu Yuxian tricked Yuzheng, and she suffered some trauma.” Both of them could be trusted, so Liu Yusheng continued, “It’s not irreparable, but Yuzheng can’t get past herself. 

  The couple weren’t stupid. With her hint, they linked it to Fu Yuxian’s final punishment. What else couldn’t they understand?

  Shi Xianrou’s expression immediately turned gloomy. The beating she served before was too light!

  Qian Wanjin’s eyes shone with a dark glint.”Feng Qingbai, where were those two bitches exiled? I have to go around every year to inspect our business, and may pass by there. I’ll go and see if they’re suffering enough along the way.”

  If not enough, he would fill the gap.

  ”In the Northwest exile camp.” Feng Qingbai curled his lips. “You don’t have to do anything. Their current state is enough for them to suffer. Fu Yuxian is unmarried and pregnant. Her old mother is the same. In that kind of place, they can not die, but also live well.”

  ”Did you even leave people to keep an eye on them?”

  ”I always have to make sure they’re not having a good enough time, don’t I?”

  Qian Wanjin winced, while Shi Xianrou moved a little closer to him, admonishing herself to keep an eye on Xiao Jinzi in the future. She must try to keep him from provoking Feng Qingbai too much.

  This man was truly scary.

  Liu Yusheng, on the other hand, felt nothing about this. With people watching, they could prevent the Fu family from regenerating demons.
