Chapter 50 – The Past
Fengning carried Bao’er and sneaked into Long Er’s courtyard quietly when he was not in. Fengning gestured to Bao’er to keep silent while she carried her. Then Fengning used her qinggong to dodge the servants that were guarding in the courtyard.
Finally, they managed to sneak into Long Er’s study.
After entering the study, Bao’er could not help but whisper. “Mother knows how to fly! Mother is awesome!”.
“Of course!” Feeling immensely proud of herself, Fengning kissed her.
“Then is Mother more powerful or Father is more powerful?”
“Of course, it’s Mother!”
“Why?” Bao’er was very curious.
“Because I am a mother. A mother is always more powerful than a father.”
Fengning did not feel embarrassed at all and Bao’er, who had learned something new, nodded vigorously.
Fengning put Bao’er on the floor and reached out to open Long Er’s cabinet. Relying on the fact that Bao’er was short and unable to see, Fengning placed an ingot and a letter inside the cabinet. Then she pretended to search around inside the cabinet and said. “Aiya, Bao’er……come and have a look.”
Bao’er tilted her head back and said anxiously. “Mother, I can’t see!”
Fengning picked her up and pointed to the ingot and letter. “Look Bao’er……Second Uncle left you an ingot and a letter.”
Bao’er was surprised and broke into a grin as she raised her baby voice. “Ingot?”
“Yes…….look, isn’t this an ingot?”
Fengning coaxed Bao’er. “Let’s read the letter Second Uncle left for you and see what it says, alright?”
Bao’er nodded and Fengning pretended to let Bao’er open the letter. After opening the letter, Fengning read the letter word by word in a soft voice to Bao’er. “Good baby Bao’er……..”
This name made Bao’er smile shyly and she buried her head in Fengning’s shoulder. Fengning stroked her little head and continued to read. “Second Uncle is placing this ingot in my study and if Bao’er is smart, Bao’er will be able to find it. If Bao’er can find it, the ingot will belong to Bao’er. This matter must be kept secret and can’t be made public.”
Bao’er blinked and was confused by the contents of the letter. She asked Fengning. “Mother, what does Second Uncle mean?”
Fengning explained. “Second Uncle is saying that he has hidden the ingot here and wants to give it to Bao’er. After Bao’er has found it, the ingot will belong to Bao’er but this is a secret and Bao’er mustn’t tell anyone.”
“Why is this a secret?” Bao’er did not understand.
Fengning was stunned and after thinking for a long time, she replied. “It’s because Second Uncle is shy.”
Bao’er frowned and thought about it seriously then nodded in response. “So Second Uncle will also feel shy.”
“Yes, that’s right, Second Uncle will also feel shy, so all this while he was too embarrassed to give the ingot to Bao’er personally. He wanted to hide it to let Bao’er find it by herself but he told Mother, so Mother brought Bao’er here to have a look.”
Bao’er stared at the ingot and asked. “Then is it considered as Second Uncle had given this ingot to Bao’er now?”
“Of course.” Fengning smiled at Bao’er and said to her. “Hurry, take it.”
Bao’er stretched out her chubby little tender hands to pick up the ingot and then held it up to Fengning. “Mother, finally Bao’er can get an ingot……this is for Mother.”
Fengning chuckled and kissed her little cheek. “Thank you, Bao’er. Now we should leave quietly. Bao’er mustn’t forget that Second Uncle will be shy, so you can’t talk to him about this matter.”
Bao’er agreed with a nod and Fengning quietly brought Bao’er out of Long San’s courtyard. As soon as they arrived back at their courtyard, Fengning saw her maid rushing up to her anxiously.
“Madam……Master Feng and Madam Feng have arrived and they are waiting in the main reception hall. Third Master sent someone to look for you everywhere……”
When Fengning heard, the happiness in her heart diminished by half for an unknown reason. She had completely forgotten all about her maiden family. Now that they have arrived, she wonders if they came to cause trouble again.
Fengning carried Bao’er to the main reception hall.
The three brothers of the Long Family and the couple from the Feng Family were in the hall with each family sitting on opposing sides and the atmosphere was a little tense.
Standing at the door, Fengning suddenly felt awkward and Bao’er whispered. “Mother, it’s grandfather and grandmother.”
Fengning composed herself then looked at Long San who was sitting there but he did not stand up to come to her and only glanced at her. Carrying Bao’er in her arms, she went in then bowed and greeted her parents.
“Father…….Mother…….”
Bao’er also obediently called out to them. “Grandfather…….Grandmother…….”
Feng Zhuojun looked very happy when he saw Bao’er and Fengning. He got up to carry Bao’er and hug the little child, Then he placed her on his lap and asked. “Bao’er has grown taller. Did you miss Grandfather?”
Bao’er replied. “Yes.”
This made Feng Zhuojun smile and he asked. “Where did Bao’er go and play with Mother?”
“Second Uncle’s courtyard.” As soon as Bao’er said this, the expressions of everyone in the room turned ugly. Qiao Li threw a fierce look at Fengning while Feng Zhuojun looked embarrassed and glanced cautiously at the brothers of the Long Family.
Long San beckoned to Bao’er and called. “Bao’er, come to Father.”
Bao’er obediently waddled over on her short legs, snuggled into Long San’s arms, and whispered. “Father, Bao’er has gotten the ingot. Second Uncle is shy so he didn’t give the ingot to Bao’er. He put it inside his house and waited for Bao’er to go and get it herself and he also gave Bao’er a letter.”
Although Bao’er’s voice was soft, Long Er could still hear her. He instantly choked and then started to cough terribly.
He is shy? He put an ingot in his house and waited for Bao’er to find it? And left a letter?
He stared fiercely at Fengning while Fengning’s gaze floated to the other side and acted as if she did not see him.
Long San wanted to laugh. His wife is indeed a person who acts swiftly. While he is still trying to find a way, she had already settled the matter. However, it is a pity that this little silly girl, Bao’er had exposed her.
Bao’er continued to whisper to him. “Father, I mustn’t tell Second Uncle about this. I’m only telling Father.”
Suddenly Long Er leaned over and said to Bao’er. “Bao’er, I heard that.”
Bao’er’s little body trembled and was so nervous that she stared at him blankly. She repeatedly opened and closed her mouth, and did not know what to say. She was sure she had only told her grandfather and father, but why did Second Uncle say he heard? She thought and thought with her face wrinkled up, and was about to burst into tears.
Fengning walked over, picked up Bao’er to coax her, and gave Long Er a fierce glare. Long Er lifted his eyebrows and straightened up his body as if nothing had happened.
At the side, Qiao Li who was watching this coldly all this while suddenly spoke. “Fengfeng, this time Father and Mother rushed here for two reasons. First, it is to celebrate Bao’er’s birthday. Second, you have disturbed the Long Family for a long time. You’re only an abandoned wife, so it’s better not to disturb others for too long. Mother came to take you home.”
As soon as the words were said, everyone was stunned while Qiao Li sat there without any expression as if waiting for the Long Family to counter this move of hers.
However, Fengning was the first person to make a move.
She walked to the door, waved to a maid, and handed Bao’er to her. “Take Miss Bao to play.” Then she said to Bao’er. “Father and Mother have something to discuss with your Grandfather and Grandmother. Bao’er is a good girl, go and play with sister for a while.”
Bao’er did not want to leave but dared not refuse when she saw Fengning’s serious expression and obediently left with the maid.
Fengning turned back into the hall and asked Qiao Li bluntly. “Mother, in the past, you had used all means to make me a daughter-in-law of the Long Family. Now that the Long Family had accepted me and you are saying such words. What are your intentions?”
Qiao Li pulled a taut face. “You can ask the Long Family about this. In beginning, they didn’t even show you any good expressions but now you have a daughter and they tried so hard to take you back. So what are their intentions?”
Long San frowned while Long Er smiled and just as they were about to speak, Fengning waved her hand at them.
“Husband, if I didn’t believe in your sincerity, I wouldn’t have returned with you, so I will speak on your behalf. Second Uncle, since your smile is so fake, you wouldn’t have any nice things to say, therefore it’s alright if you don’t say anything at all.”
Long Er and Long San raised their eyebrows simultaneously and the expressions on their faces were surprisingly consistent.
At the side, Long Da remained silent as he stretched out his hand to pick up the cup to take a sip of the tea, but he was already exuding the majestic aura of a military commander. Fengning gulped and had the feeling that Long Da was allowing them to hold a discussion but if it fails, he would use a fierce strike with his sword to settle it.
Fengning regained her composure, turned to Qiao Li, and said. “Mother, don’t talk about other people. You should be clear about your intentions. Both our Long and Feng Families have a deep relationship while Long San and I have gone through many years of obstacles before we finally have today. Why don’t we discuss this with sincerity and perhaps there might be a solution.”
Qiao Li slapped the small table beside her and said angrily. “Are your arms turned outwards*? Don’t forget who are your biological parents and elders!”
(Arms turned outwards mean to side with outsiders instead of siding with people related to oneself.)
Fengning moved her arms around twice and replied. “There’s something wrong with Mother’s words. Look, an arm can move with flexibility and if it can’t be turned in and out, then the arm is useless. If Mother feels that some words can’t be said, maybe Mother can talk to daughter in private. Shall we have a discussion?”
“Hmph, do you think that after a man is captivated, he will become your support? Silly girl, you have a child whose biological father is unknown, therefore no man will ever accept you and they harbor ulterior motives. Words of affections and sincerity are all false. Only Mother and Father are good to you.”
“If that’s the case, why didn’t you as my parents not stop Long San from searching for me? Why didn’t you come to see me for such a long time after I returned to the Long Mansion? The Long Family that you accused of ‘harboring ulterior motives’ could have killed me a thousand times over and could have made use of Bao’er to force me to do anything that I am unwilling to do. For you to come now, you were only hoping to see the corpses of both me and my daughter or to look at our pitiful and miserable state. It is only now that you claim it’s for my good but what can it change?”
The moment Feng Zhuojun heard, he became anxious. “Fengfeng, did they really treat you badly?”
“Father, in fact, both of you can already guess that they are good to me. Because of this, you used the ploy of retreating to advance saying that you wanted to take me away to rile the Long Family, and then you would be in a better position to negotiate, right?”
“Fengfeng…….” Feng Zhuojun was about to say something but stopped and at the side, Qiao Li was fuming with anger.
“Fengning, what drink did they give you to make you so daring as to find fault with your parents! It was in vain that we gave birth to you!”
“Mother, it’s only because you are my parents that I hope you can resolve your grievances with the Long Family. If it is another family, I won’t be bothered to waste time talking.”
If it was an outsider who had blabbered and talked in circles in this manner, she would have kicked that person out of the door a long time ago. Fengning felt very annoyed and could not understand what was the use of keeping her words hidden.
Qiao Li sneered. “You know that it’s a waste of time talking as well but you’re solely helping the Long Family.”
“It’s because you’re my parents that I’m speaking up.” Fengning said. “Although I don’t have my memories, I’m not a fool. In this world, no one is truly a fool. Everyone understands in their hearts but it’s only that everyone cares about different things and so this understanding is placed differently. In fact, you’re the same as the Long Family and understood what happened in the past few years. However, everyone could survive up to this day by putting on a pretense which clearly shows that you are all on the same path. Since that is the case, it should be easier to talk over this.”
Fengning paused, looked back at Long San, and then turned to look at Feng Zhuojun and Qiao Li again.
“I am a daughter-in-law of the Long Family and a daughter of the Feng Family. This is a fact that no one can change. Since this is my status, I will speak the truth today. I feel very tired watching all of you acting hypocritically and had wasted all these years for nothing. Without discussing and understanding the matter, you have secretly investigated each other and fought back and forth with each other. It was obvious that you were unhappy with them but you insisted on marrying your daughter into their family to become in-laws with them. You thought they were fools but in actual fact, you are the fool!”
With her words, Fengning scolded all the members of the two families and everyone was stunned for a while not knowing how to refute. In the hall, the person who had a damaged brain was the one scolding everyone for being foolish but after thinking about it seriously, all the people actually felt they were indeed quite foolish.
Fengning looked around and then said. “Look, I feel so happy after speaking out the words in my heart!”
Feng Zhuojun who usually does not talk much suddenly said. “The matter of being sincere is different with different people. Fengfeng, you are right but you are wrong as well. Many things are not that simple.”
“Since it’s not simple, why bother making it more complicated? Father, gratitude breeds gratitude, revenge breeds revenge. If you have grudges or grievances, just say it out and I as your daughter will definitely not keep silent if the Long Family bullies you.”
Feng Zhuojun was still hesitating but Qiao Li could not hold back any longer.
“That time, the Long Family killed my father-in-law and that was your grandfather. They drove our Feng Family to a poor remote rural area without showing mercy and your father and I had to suffer extreme hardships before we finally managed to prop up the Feng Family. The Long Family is not only vicious but also extremely hypocritical. They never mentioned a word about what happened back then and just pretended not to know.”
The three brothers of the Long Family glanced at each other and were thinking that it was indeed for this matter.
Long Da started to speak. “You said that the Long Family harmed the Feng Family, is there evidence?”
“The map that is your family’s heirloom is the evidence.”
“How can the map be evidence?”
It was the first sentence that Long Da heard from the Feng Family after meeting them.
Qiao Li and Feng Zhuojun looked at each other and then he said.
“That time, both my father and your grandfather ventured out into the world to make a living. Together, they joined the army and made great contributions to the building of the country. You should know all about this. They not only went through life and death experiences but also discovered a great treasure. Togeth
