FID – Chapter 450

  Chapter 450: Tell the World That She Has a Husband

  For some vixens could always cause trouble as long as they were alive.

  Even if they had fallen to the bottom with no chance for a turnaround, they could also think of ways to make you suffer.

  Or in some critical moments, the people you had ignored and thought would absolutely cause no trouble, could swivel around to give you the fatal blow.

  However: “A refugee camp?”

  What kind of place was that? When Liu Yusheng asked, not to mention Qian Wanjin, even Shi Xianrou who had gone to battlefields looked completely unwell. 

  Feng Qingbai understated, “As the name implies, it is a place where the stragglers in the northwest gather. The people there are all refugees.”

  After a glance at him, Shi Xianrou added, “There are various refugees. Some are really too poor to live in exile there. There are also wanted criminals and notorious bandits hiding there in order to avoid pursuit and capture. It’s too intricate to explain, like snakes and rats. Officials don’t even venture there, and it can be called an abandoned territory.”

  Qian Wanjin coughed lightly and then added, “There isn’t only chaos, but there’s also hardly any women there. So, women to there are equivalent to prostitutes, free of charge.”

  As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Qingbai’s chilly gaze landed on him. Qian Wanjin immediately hid behind Shi Xianrou, but he didn’t forget to stick his neck and challenge, “Why are you giving me the eye? I’m talking about the truth. I always want Lucky Nannan to understand the actual situation. She should never set foot in that kind of place.”

  The corners of Liu Yusheng’s mouth twitched. She’d be out of her mind if she were to go to a refugee camp by herself.

  Shi Xianrou sighed lightly, turned her head and kissed the man on the cheek. “Good boy, be quiet.”

  Qian Wanjin blushed and became quiet.

  Damn, how could she molest him in front of Lucky Nannan? Where could he put his face?

  Couldn’t she wait when they were alone so that he could respond?

  After the three people took turns explaining the basics of the place, Liu Yusheng was no longer curious.

  She could already imagine what life the Fu mother and daughter were living.

  They had to sustain blows from those refugees, including Fu Shuyuan.

  Being exiled was already harsh enough, yet his daughter got pregnant while unmarried. Even the concubine who killed his wife was pregnant with someone else’s spawn. Would he still be in the mood and condition to cherish the woman he once loved?

  Fu Shuyuan would personally taste the agony that Yuzheng’s mother once suffered two folds.

  Without beauty, prosperity and wealth would they genuinely live life. It was the best way to see someone’s true color.

  Those two people would spend the rest of their lives in mutual torture.

  As for Fu Yuxian, she had no pity for her.

  If she didn’t have such a vicious mind, she wouldn’t have landed in her current situation.

  She should blame herself for everything.

  While musing, a warm hand gripped Liu Yusheng’s hand. Only then did she realize that the carriage stopped at some point.

  The alley was in the west of the capital. In front of it were the houses of ordinary people in the city. Life wasn’t too good, but not too bad either. It radiated strong vitality.

  ”The security of the capital in this area is only a little worse than that of the rich districts.  There are cavalries who often patrol around. Scoundrels usually don’t flee and hide here during curfews, so their safety is more guaranteed,” Feng Qingbai softly explained to the woman.

  Liu Yusheng understood.

  Their carriage just now was short. The place was closely separated from the alley where the King’s Manor was located.

  Yuzheng was simply within their reach.

  And precisely because of this, if they had wanted to find her, they would never have considered this place.

  Who would have thought that the person who left was so close to them?

  Yuzheng just probably never thought that her brother would ask Feng Qingbai to keep an eye on her.

  After getting off the carriage, Feng Qingbai asked the coachman to drive the carriage away so as not to attract too much attention. After an exchange of glances with Shi Xianrou, the two carried their partners and flew up to the roof.

  It was still early in the morning, and there was no one at the entrance of the alley.

  Two silent wisps of smoke on the roof couldn’t possibly attract anyone’s attention.

  Crouching in a corner of a roof, Liu Yusheng spotted the woman in the opposite house.

  The house was very small with only one yard and two wing rooms. Two potted plants were placed in one corner of the yard, which added a little vitality to the dilapidated yard.

  The woman in the yard was washing her face with her hair tied up, and she was actually dressed as a married woman.

  She had shed her fancy brocade dress off, and wore only a cotton dress worn by ordinary people. It was azure in color, simple and inconspicuous.

  As woman, Yuzheng dressed herself up as unobtrusive, quiet and low-key as could be.

  Liu Yusheng could not describe her feeling. In her heart, Yuzheng had already treated herself as her brother’s wife. Even if she was living alone, she disguised herself in this outfit to maintain her loyalty to her brother.

  She was telling the world that she had a husband.

  ”Feng Qingbai, let’s go.” Aftering knowing Yuzheng’s current situation, Liu Yusheng didn’t tarry any longer. If they stayed long and was detected, Yuzheng would be forced to flee again.

  Instead of letting her hide in the east, it was better to pretend ignorance about her whereabouts for the time being. Let her live under their noses so that they could take care of her nearby.

  Liu Yuzheng left quickly and did not notice the woman in the courtyard suddenly squatting down and retching dryly.

  When they got back on the carriage and was returning to the residence, Qian Wanjin stroked his chin and proposed, “Why don’t I go back and find someone to buy the courtyard on both sides of Yuzheng? That way, she can live peacefully and have someone look after her.”

  Liu Yusheng’s eyes lit up, but then Feng Qingbai’s words doused her. “Fu Yuzheng is a smart man. She must have inquired about the neighbors around the house before staying there. If someone suddenly bought both sides of her yard and changed the owners, with her intelligence, she would definitely think of the reason. I’m afraid she will move away quietly again.”

  ”Let people untie the knot they themselves tied. She is afraid of becoming a burden to your brother, and only your brother can untie this knot,” Shi Xianrou also said.

  No matter what outsiders do, it would be useless.

  When they returned to the royal residence, the Liu family had already come out of the flower hall and were sitting in the hall.

  There were only Grandpa Liu, Liu Dalin and Liu Zhixia.

  Grandma Liu and Chen Xiu were not there.

  The atmosphere was sullen, and the two elders’ faces were extremely ugly.

  ”Big Brother, where are Grandma and Mother?” Liu Yusheng walked over and asked hushedly.

  ”They’ve gone back to the other courtyard. Go check on them.”

  Liu Yusheng nodded and quickly ran to the other courtyard.

  Feng Qingbai, Qian Wanjin and Shi Xianrou stayed in the hall to accompany them.

  After Liu Yusheng entered the other courtyard, she approached the  door of the wing room. She couldn’t hear any movement in the room because it was quiet.

  Liu Yusheng pushed the door open and went in. She found Grandma Liu lying on the bed and Chen Xiulan sitting beside her with her head down.

  ”Grandma, Mother,” she called.

  Chen Xiulan raised her head. Her eyes were red and swollen.

  Grandma Liu, on the other hand, did not move.

  Liu Yusheng pursed her lips and knew that her elder brother must have told her grandparents all about it.

  She really was afraid her elders couldn’t accept that kind of incident.

  She moved closer to the bed and could see that the corners of her grandmother’s eyes were wet. She must have cried a lot earlier.

  For a moment, she did not know how to comfort them.

  Her grandma and mother were both women born and raised in this time and space. With the concepts in this time and space, how could she instill modern ideas with them?
