Chapter 81: She Just Could Not Be Left Alone II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was still an aunt to face even if Feng Ruqing’s grandfather and uncle had forgiven her.

Her aunt swore never to meet her again because of Dai’er. She could not stay at the general’s manor for long if her aunt had not forgiven her.

But, she believed that her aunt’s prejudice toward her would be lessened if she treated the general’s family nicely. Her aunt would then be able to trust her again.

“Cousin.” Dai’er tugged at Feng Ruqing’s sleeves and looked at Feng Ruqing with teary eyes. “Will you come to meet me again?”

Feng Ruqing patted Dai’er’s head. “I’ll come and meet you after a few days. Is that alright?”

“Alright.”

Dai’er nodded vigorously and showed her sweet smile. “Dai’er will wait for cousin.”

Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes and patted Dai’er’s head gently. Feng Ruqing was determined now.

One day, Feng Ruqing would help to recover Dai’er’s face. Feng Ruqing would also make sure that Feng Rushuang and her gang would never look down on her again.

“I won’t detain you if you’re determined to leave. You are welcome to come to our manor anytime you like,” Master Nalan said, sighing.

Master Nalan would never be cruel toward Feng Ruqing no matter how many times Feng Ruqing had disappointed him. Master Nalan would rather choose to believe that Feng Ruqing had changed for the better.

“Yes, grandpa.” Nalan Jing bit his lip and looked at Feng Ruqing in confusion.

Feng Ruqing had really changed. It made Nalan Jing unable to understand Feng Ruqing now. Feng Ruqing also had changed and she was no longer as vile as before.

“Dad.”

Feng Ruqing left them under Nalan Jing’s accompaniment. Looking at her, Nalan Zhangqian raised his eyes and lowered his voice. “Could you tell whether Feng Ruqing has really changed for the better or she’s just fooling with us again?”

Master Nalan laughed bitterly. “For sure I’ll say she’s changed for the better because I’m her grandpa and I always hope that she will improve someday. I don’t want her being tricked by Noble Consort Rong again to the point where she no longer recognizes her family.”

Qing’er was gentle and obedient when she was young. After meeting Noble Consort Rong, Feng Ruqing had treated Noble Consort Rong like her mother. She had changed and followed suit what Noble Consort Rong taught her to do. She became impatient every time they wanted to advise her.

From then on, she kept her distance from the general’s manor and His Majesty could do nothing about it.

“Dad, did you forget how she had treated you before? And… the scar on Dai’er’s face…”

“People make mistakes. We should be tolerant of her since we are her elders. If Qing’er was hurt by someone, would you be able to stand there and just ignore it?”

“… ”

Nalan Zhangqian was quiet.

How could he ignore her?

They did not go and visit Feng Ruqing when she fainted the other day. But it was not because they no longer cared for her, they were afraid that they would be saddened by the sight of her.

Nalan Zhangqian had always mistreated Chancellor Liu during the morning meeting. Jing’er had also never been nice to Liu Yuchen whenever Jing’er met Liu Yuchen.

They knew very well that it was Feng Ruqing’s fault in marrying Liu Yuchen.

But, Qing’er was almost killed by the Liu Family. They could not bear it.

Moreover, Nalan Zhangqian had personally visited the Liu family before the wedding. Nalan Zhangqian had told Chancellor Liu that Nalan Zhangqian could help the Liu family disobey His Majesty’s order to marry Feng Ruqing. His Majesty would never blame the General Manor.

They did so for Feng Ruqing’s sake, not Liu Yuchen.

It was Chancellor Liu who had refused Nalan Zhangqian’s offer. Chancellor Liu was eager to have Feng Ruqing as his daughter-in-law and to sacrifice Liu Yuchen’s happiness to help the Liu family gain more power and status.

So… Nalan Zhangqian would never be indifferent toward Feng Ruqing. He could not do it. In fact, the entire Nalan family could never do it.
