I Conquer the World For My Duke - C58

Feng Linyuan raised his hand…

He heard flustered footsteps coming from outside.

“Not good, not good!”

The man immediately turned around and walked out of the study room. “What happened?”

“Commander Mo, you’re here ah, something has happened to the little miss!”

“Miss, did something happen?” The voice of the man known as “Commander Mo” suddenly rose. It was obvious that he was very nervous, he didn’t bother with the study, and ran away with the messenger.

Only when the sound outside the door completely disappeared did Bai Zheng let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, in the narrow space, the two people next to each other suddenly felt a little awkward.

Just now, when Bai Zheng pulled at him in panic, it was as if they were embracing each other. Bai Zheng’s entire body was already in Feng Linyuan’s embrace.

Feng Linyuan turned his head, and his chin just happened to be on Bai Zheng’s head. At the tip of his nose, he could smell a faint fragrance coming from the woman’s hair.

Feng Linyuan’s heart thumped twice.

Bai Zheng awkwardly turned her face away and pushed Feng Linyuan away, stuttering: “Zheng Yan, Zheng Yan must have already found out about Feng Jingyang’s situation, there’s not much time left, let’s quickly go look for him.”

Then, without even looking at him, she ran out.

Looking at Bai Zheng’s panicked back figure, Feng Linyuan faintly smiled, and a few more starlight gentleness appeared in his normally deep eyes.

At this moment, the manor was no longer as crowded as the servants and maids from before. There were no longer any signs of people, and it was extremely quiet.

“It seems like Zheng Yan has made a big deal out of this, my cousin really did not disappoint me.” Bai Zheng sighed when she saw that she did not bump into anyone along the way.

Feng Linyuan smiled slightly: “This older cousin of yours is indeed rare.”

Bai Zheng looked at him with ridicule: “If Master Hou likes her, then marry her, and help me get rid of the harm, right?”

Feng Linyuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Bai Zheng, and laughed: “Third Miss knows, this marquis’ heart is only on you.”

“Don’t,” Bai Zheng curled her lips, “How could I be as beautiful as my cousin? There’s no need for you to put your heart at ease with me.”

“This marquis likes unsightly things.” Feng Linyuan said with a serious face.

“What do you mean!” Bai Zheng raged again.

“We’re here.” Feng Linyuan suddenly raised his head, his chin pointing forward.

Bai Zheng calmed her emotions and looked over to where Feng Linyuan was looking at. She saw a tall and fake mountain, and she could see a corner of the lake water beside it.

As she passed the rockery, her vision widened.

It was actually not a small lake.

The surface of the lake was as clear as jade. There was a layer of ice floating on top of the water, which was about to melt. The water was as clear as jade, and a layer of ice floating on top of it, which was about to melt.

Bai Zheng looked over. In the center of the lake, there was a mansion surrounded by a white silk curtain. There were no corridors or bridges in the surroundings, and it was all standing alone on top of the green waves.

“Let’s go over there …” Bai Zheng subconsciously felt that this was the house she was looking for. While she was still thinking about how to get there, her body had lightened.

Feng Linyuan embraced Bai Zheng’s waist, and with a tap of his foot, the shockwave shot up like a wild goose.

By the time Bai Zheng had reacted, she was already in front of the house in the lake.

“You didn’t scare the Miss Bai right?” Feng Linyuan asked gently.

“No, no,” Bai Zheng came back to reality and excitedly said, “It’s pretty fun, next time Master Hou is free, can you take me to fly a few laps more?”

“…”

Feng Linyuan turned and walked in.

The house was not big, and the layout inside was very simple and crude.

Upon stepping in, what faced the door was a red wooden square table, and on the wall behind the square table hung two portraits, one of the previous Marquis and the other was the Wife of Departed Marquis.

There were rooms on either side of the house, and a small, open pavilion at the back.

Feng Linyuan and Bai Zheng looked at each other and split up, each entering a different room.

Bai Zheng rummaged through seriously once: by the head of the bed, under the bed, and in the wooden cabinet. But she didn’t find anything.

Feng Linyuan walked in and asked: “How is it?”

“Only the ground has not been searched. There are no other places.” Bai Zheng explained simply.

Feng Linyuan glanced at the room and squatted down. He formed a hook with his index finger and started to carefully tap the green bricks on the ground. Not long after, he stopped in front of a normal color green brick, but the sound of him knocking on it was even more ethereal.

Bai Zheng became suspicious and knelt down to the ground to stare at the brick as well.

Feng Linyuan’s finger swept across every corner of the green brick, and finally stopped at a corner after pressing a circle.

“Get out of the way. Be careful of the things inside.” Feng Linyuan said to her.

Bai Zheng knew that she did not have the ability to protect herself in front of the mechanism, so after hearing what was said, she did not refuse and quickly retreated to the side.

Only then did Feng Linyuan press his strength down, causing the green brick to make a “thump” sound as it tilted to the side.

He saw a small square hole in the wall, and inside the hole was a wooden box.

Bai Zheng was surprised: “Bone-penetrating Herb?”

Feng Linyuan’s eyes also revealed a trace of hope. He looked at the lock on the wooden box, then inspected his surroundings.

He skillfully inserted the needle into the keyhole of the wooden box and fiddled with it for a moment. Then he heard the lock click open.

“I didn’t think that the duke would be so adept at such things!” Bai Zheng raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw Feng Linyuan’s fluid actions of unlocking the locks.

“This marquis fought with his father when I was young, it’s hard to avoid him getting used to it.” Feng Linyuan smiled slightly.

Bai Zheng looked at the gentle Feng Linyuan in front of him, and suddenly a beautiful young man appeared in his mind, riding a horse willfully and willfully under his father’s protection.

“Miss Bai, move back a little.” Feng Linyuan reminded.

Bai Zheng retracted her train of thoughts, as she was about to open the box.

After rummaging through the house at the center of the lake for a long time, they only found this hidden wooden box. It could be said to be their only hope at the moment.

Bai Zheng stretched out her neck, and clearly saw Feng Linyuan’s hands lifting up the lid of the wooden box.

The wooden box was opened. Inside, there was a stack of silk with black words written all over it. It was clearly a letter from his family.

“This …” Bai Zheng frowned.

She didn’t give up and walked forward, rummaging through the box again and again. As expected, there was only the letter from home and nothing else.

Bai Zheng and Feng Linyuan looked at each other, and both could see deep disappointment and helplessness in the other’s eyes.

A gust of cold wind blew into the house through the window in the early spring. Feng Linyuan could not help but cough, his body trembling violently from the cough.

Seeing that Feng Linyuan was coughing and holding onto the box tightly, not letting it fall, Bai Zheng quickly took the box and placed it on the side of the bed, patting his back.

“With such a severe cough, did you bring any medicine?” Bai Zheng asked anxiously.
