The Unique Queen - C271
Chapter 271 – Emperor Xing’s Motherless Child Like a Root Grass
Feng Wuyou knew that he was holding back her anger, so she tactfully decided not to argue with him and turned towards another plate of Golden Cake.
However, the golden cake that Feng Wuyou had set her eyes on came into Hua Yurong’s bowl a second before she touched it. She took another symbolic bite and placed it in the bowl.
Feng Wuyou’s mouth twitched, and the hand holding the chopsticks quickly extended towards the other plate. As expected, Hua Yurong had acted even faster than her, and took what she had set her eyes as her own.
However, Feng Wuyou also knew what Hua Yurong was up to at this time. As she reached out with her chopsticks, her left hand also quickly reached out for a plate of pastries.
‘F * ck, if I can’t use the chopsticks, then I can only use my hands! ‘
Unexpectedly, before his hand could touch the pastry, a “pa —” sound could be heard, and Feng Wuyou’s extended claws were sent flying by Hua Yurong’s beautiful chopsticks. Looking at his red hands, Feng Wuyou felt that he was too wronged, he resisted the urge to jump up and beat him up, and shouted while gritting his teeth: “Hua Yurong, can’t you eat properly?”
Hua Yurong was not affected by Feng Wuyou’s emotions at all. Her charming peach blossom eyes stared at Feng Wuyou, before she snorted coldly, “Hmph, walking around the brothel with four hundred thousand silver, haven’t you eaten your fill yet!”
Hong Tian, who had already felt the weird atmosphere between the two of them, had yet to find an excuse to interrupt. Now, he finally found a reason to interrupt them, and with a face full of suspicion, he asked: “What …. “You’re bringing four hundred thousand silver to the brothel?”
He came back last night, and before he could even enter the house, he saw Fengfu’s servants coming to look for them, saying that young miss had met with an assassin outside, so he directly went to save Feng Wuyou. After that, Feng Wuyou had always been taking care of whatever Young Noble Ye Mei was doing, and he had just been drinking at the Lovesick Restaurant for four hours straight, so he did not have the chance to find Feng Wuyou and find Feng Wuyou to understand what happened last night.
Feng Wuyou’s face froze for a moment, she secretly glanced at Hong Tian’s expression, and her originally angry heart began to panic.
400,000 silver was definitely not a small sum. If Father found out that she had spent so much, he wouldn’t beat her up!
Hua Yurong looked at Hong Tian, and spoke in a somewhat gluttonous manner: “Red General, Xiao Zhonger did such a huge thing last night. He went to fireworks lane and spent four hundred thousand silver taels there, buying a brothel Xiao Guaner.”
This Xiao Zhonger, he could hold Baili Mingyue, Hong Li, and even the brothel’s Xiao Guaner, but he just couldn’t see Hua Yurong. How could he not be angry?
Feng Wuyou swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty. She knew that this matter could not be concealed from Hua Yurong and her brother. They would definitely find out, but she just did not expect them to find out so quickly!
“What!?” Four hundred thousand silver for a brothel Xiao Guaner? ” Hong Tian was baffled by his words. He turned his head and looked at Feng Wuyou in disbelief, pausing for a moment before probing: “That Xiao Guaner, is he very special?”
Although four hundred thousand silver taels was nothing to the Fengfu, but to his understanding of Feng Wuyou, she knew that it was impossible for Feng Wuyou to do something without meaning. So if she bought Xiao Guaner, could it be that there was something special?
Hong Tian’s words seemed to prick Feng Wuyou’s weak spot, she anxiously tried to explain: “No, no, it’s not very special!” It’s just that it looks very similar to someone.
“If there’s nothing special, then is it worth it for you to spend four hundred thousand silver taels?” Hua Yurong said again.
For the past few days, he had been recuperating from his injuries.
Ling Yun knew about this, but he was worried about his health, so when he woke up this morning, Ling Yun finally told him about what happened last night. When he heard that Feng Wuyou had gone to a brothel and spent four hundred thousand silver coins to buy a brothel, he was truly envious of him.
At that time, he wished that he could not rush out and chop Xiao Guaner into a dish!
“…” Feng Wuyou was completely stunned by his words, what he said was the truth, she did not dare to refute, and could only admit her wrongs: “I’m wrong, I won’t spend money recklessly next time.”
Hua Yurong tilted her head and glared at her, her peach blossom eyes revealed a dense helplessness: “It’s because they spoiled you that you are able to do such an outrageous thing.”
“…” Originally, what Hua Yurong said was also the truth. Feng Wuyou also deeply realized that this time’s matter, was really a bit too much. As she thought about it, she tilted her head to look at Hong Tian, and called out with a bit of grievance, “Father …”
After Feng Wuyou shouted, Hong Tian’s face froze for a moment, then she sighed helplessly: “Whatever, let’s leave this matter at that, it’s not like the four hundred thousand silver taels Fengfu s are unable to afford it, if it’s gone, then it’s fine, but after this matter, I too feel that we should first arrange for you and Feng’er’s marriage, so that you don’t have to meet with such a situation again in the future, and not even a person to mention about it.”
“No way!” Feng Wuyou and Hua Yurong spoke out at almost the same time, the expression on their faces also looked as though they had reached a tacit understanding, their faces filled with determination.
Hong Tian did not know about the negotiation between Feng Wuyou and Hong Li, he only thought that Feng Wuyou would marry him after she recovered from her injuries, so he was very curious about the two’s intense opposition: “Why?”
“Because… “Because …” Feng Wuyou stuttered. Her mind was in a mess, she couldn’t think of a reason. Did she have to tell him that she didn’t want to marry him when she went back to the Shengjing City?
Hong Tian frowned: “Why?”
Feng Wuyou looked at Hong Tian, and then looked at Hua Yurong, who did not expect the situation to develop in such a way, and thought quickly. Suddenly, she found an excuse: “Because, father is not even married yet!”
“Huh?” Hua Yurong and Hong Tian’s face at the same time was completely blank.
After Feng Wuyou finished speaking, she looked at the two of them with doubtful expressions, and then nodded her head: “That’s right, it’s because father is not married yet, and it has been so many years since my mother went, and father has not married either. Look at our Fengfu, we have such a large business, and we don’t even have a proper lady master, is that alright? Also, second brother is my elder brother, second brother is already a famous young general in Southern Qi, but he still hasn’t gotten married yet. Even second brother and father aren’t married yet, how can the youngest me! ”
After Hong Tian heard this, his handsome face stiffened for a moment. Then, he turned his head in embarrassment: “What nonsense are you spouting? You shouldn’t be afraid of people making fun of you if word of this gets out. ”
Hua Yurong blinked her eyes at the side and agreed with what Feng Wuyou said, she coughed lightly: “Red General, actually, junior feels that Xiao Zhonger’s words are very reasonable. None of the managers in Fengfu are married, how could it be Xiao Zhonger who is the youngest among them.” If Xiao Zhonger married Hong Li, what would he do?
“That’s right, so let’s delay the marriage between me and Big Brother for a while. Father, why don’t you find a stepmother for me first, and then marry second brother as sister-in-law?” Feng Wuyou immediately chimed in, and even winked at Hua Yurong, signalling him to hurry up and help.
In the future, his father would be under the control of the Sister Pearl. If his second brother married a sister-in-law, he would immediately have a baby and wander around in front of his father.
“Pfft …” After hearing Feng Wuyou’s suggestion of marrying a stepmother, Hong Tian couldn’t help but choke, and then violently coughed a few times before stopping himself, “Child, in this world, how can a daughter recommend a stepfather to marry a stepmother? Don’t talk nonsense! ”
“Actually, what Xiao Zhonger said is very reasonable.” Hua Yurong received Feng Wuyou’s gaze and immediately spoke for him: “Red General is a famous general in the history of Southern Qi, there are many girls who wish to follow the general. Furthermore, Fengfu is indeed lacking a female master, rather than urging Xiao Zhonger to marry off, the general should just set an example first.”
Hong Tian was at a loss for words when he heard the two singing. In fact, he was also extremely gloomy at the bottom of his heart, and just now didn’t he say that he had spent four hundred thousand silver to visit the brothel? “Why does it involve him getting married?” “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s eat, eat.”
“Father!” Since the words had come to this, Feng Wuyou had no reason to give up. I have never had the feeling of having a mother by my side. Sometimes, even in my dreams, I think about how great it would be if my mother was by my side, father, you definitely don’t know, a child without a mother really does feel like a little grass, no one is hurt by the sun or wind, and without my mother by my side, my baby wouldn’t even feel like eating! ”
As he said that, he purposely poked the rice bowl in front of him, indicating that if Hong Tian did not marry her to a stepmother, she would really not have a good meal.
“…” Hearing Feng Wuyou talk about the bitterness of childhood without a mother, Hong Tian also felt his heart ache.
When Feng Wuyou was not even one year old, she no longer had a mother. It was he who had brought her and Feng’er here, who had gone through countless hardships to come to Southern Qi. At the time, Feng’er, who was only ten years old, had suggested that “a little bit in the wild, a little bit in the city, a little bit in the court”, rather than hiding his name in the countryside, it was better to hide his name from the court.
This, was the result of becoming a General Zhenguo whose might had shaken the entire Southern Qi!
From then on, Feng Wuyou grew up by his side, and he was clear about everything that happened to him. Now that she mentioned those sad thoughts of her before, how could he not be moved? “Wuyou, this is all because I’m useless, I’ve let you down.” If he was not useless at that time and was unable to save the imperial concubine, then how could Feng Wuyou have separated from her mother and traveled a thousand miles to the Southern Qi to suffer so much!
“No, Father!” Feng Wuyou saw that Hong Tian’s expression was strange and quickly changed her words.
She said that she only wanted to use the matter of proposing to marry a wife to shift the topic of marriage between her and Hong Li, but she did not want Hong Tian to be affected by the situation: “Father, I am able to achieve this because of Father’s contributions. It’s just that I feel that after all these years since my mother passed, Father has, for the sake of being worry-free, wasted a lot of his youth. If daddy doesn’t take a wife, I will never get married. ”
So don’t force me to marry, okay?
“Silly child, what nonsense are you spouting?” Hearing this, Hong Tian put down the bowl: “All these years, Feng’er has put in a lot of effort for you and the Fengfu. Moreover, the marriage between you and Feng’er was set by your mother. If you were to marry him as soon as possible and open up a new branch for the Feng family, I believe that your mother’s spirit in heaven would also feel comforted. ”
Feng Wuyou immediately nodded her head, as if she had heard what Hong Tian had said in his heart: “I know, so ah, Father, in order for me to marry Big Brother sooner, you should get married as well, and find a stepmother for me earlier so that I can experience the feeling of having a mother’s love before marrying. In the future, when I have a wife and a son, I will definitely eat dinner with our great family, it will definitely be more fragrant, won’t it?”
Hua Yurong saw that the father and daughter pair were currently discussing the matter of getting Feng Wuyou married, and couldn’t help but put the matter of Feng Wuyou buying him aside. She helped Feng Wuyou speak up: “That’s right, it’s crowded and lively!”
With Hua Yurong’s understanding of Hong Tian, he was extremely infatuated.
After all these years, he had always been single, so the chances of him reconnecting was not high! Therefore, using Hong Tian’s marriage to delay Xiao Zhonger’s wedding, was actually a good idea!
In Hong Tian’s heart, Hong Li was Xiao Zhonger’s original husband, but in Hua Yurong’s heart, Hong Li was a houseflower, and that Ye Mei, was just a wild flower by the side of the road. Even if he did not deal with him, Hong Li might not be able to let him off, so did not believe that Ye Mei could stay by Xiao Zhonger’s side for a long time!
Then, it was very important for him to help Xiao Zhonger now to take care of Hong Li’s flower.
Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was, seeing Xiao Zhonger’s attitude, she did not want to marry Hong Li.
