Chapter 199: Going Back Home
Chapter 199: Going Back Home
It didnt matter who Ming Xi was, Tian saw him as a kidnapper, abducting a girl from her family.
Feng Wu didnt understand her older brothers feelings. She blinked and said, He is a very good person, like Master. In her eyes Master, who had raised her, was the best person in the world. No one could compare.
Master: Hm. I didnt raise you in vain.
Master? When did you get a master? Tian was suspicious.
Feng Wu pressed her lips together and lowered her head.
Tian:
Seemed like he touched on something taboo. He hurried to change the topic.
Xiao Wu, it doesnt matter who Ming Xi is. Go home with me OK? Grandfather, Father, and Mother are all waiting for you at home. Dont you want to see them?
Feng Wu raised her head. Grandfather, mother, father. These were things she never had before. So besides older brother she had more family? Before transmigrating, shed been envious of other people who had a big family. Now she had one too!
She was happy and hesitant at the same time. She finally met someone up to Masters standards. Would she never see Senior Ming Xi again if she left?
She wanted to see her family but she didnt want to say farewell to Senior Ming Xi. She was deeply conflicted. She didnt know what to do.
Feng Wus eyes were full of hesitation and fear of disappointment. She cautiously asked her older brother, Can I see Senior Ming Xi again?
Of course you can see him again. Its just for the holidays. You can come back after when school starts again.
She could come back! She was satisfied. Nodding her had Feng Wu said, Lets go home together Older Brother!
After saying her farewell and promising Tian Ke she would bring snack souvenirs, she, Little White,[notes] Little Bun and her brother left.
Tian stood outside the gates of Feng family mansion with Feng Wu. It was decorated in the traditional style of the kingdom. Two vermillion doors stood at the entrance and gave the entire place an imposing air.
The two guards by the front immediately stood up and shouted a greeting to the young master and young miss.
The servants surreptitiously looked at the young miss who had been gone for over a year. Their young miss had changed. She had always been a loose cannonball, always on guard with a wall around herself, but now she looked so more gentle and calm. Her expressionless face was kind of cute.
Oh, whats this? The shengmu beast was holding the young misss baby. They couldnt tell the gender though. The old master exiled the young miss when she got pregnant, but gossip being as it was, he couldnt keep it a secret and some of the bigger families in Lanling discovered the scandal anyway.
Even though the ancient eastern country wasnt as powerful as the other four empires, no one dared provoke it. It was a vast country with many large and small cities. Lanling was the capital and many aristocrats called it home. Large aristocratic families were on the top of the power chain here and Feng house was one of the most powerful houses. It was over a thousand years old.
Tian took his little sisters hand and proudly walked her inside.
The servants nearly dropped their jaw. These two siblings, always at odds, were walking hand in hand?! How incredible. Were they still asleep?
Must be something wrong with their eyes. Yes. The needed to go see an eye doctor.
The eldest young master and the second young miss[notes] were holding hands? The second young miss was really holding hands with the eldest young master. Really must be dreaming
If Tian knew what these offenders were thinking he would have sent all of them to the mine and dig in the pits.
The one most impacted by the visual was Feng Ting. The last thing she wanted to see was the siblings getting along.
If their relationship improved, then where would she stand? She wanted to be Tians favorite. She wasnt going to let Feng Wu steal the spot, not after all the years of dedication and work she put in to get the position! She had to think of a way to break them up.
She had such malicious thoughts but her face was so angelic. She swore she would drive Feng Wu out. She wouldnt let Feng Wu take what she had worked so hard for.
Grandfather, Xiao Wu is back. Tian respectfully knelt and greeted his grandfather.
Grandfather Feng looked at Feng Wu, his face devoid of expression. He gave a noncommittal Hm.
His granddaughter had returned but it was hard to tell if he was happy, unhappy or simply uninterested.
Xiao Wu! Greet Grandfather. Madam Lans face was tense. She thought Feng Wu was still angry so she tugged at her daughters sleeve.
Grandfather. Feng Wu obediently complied. But she didnt move from her position beside Tian after saying it. She was mute like a stick.
Remember to thank your aunt well. You would never have been able to cross those gates if it hadnt been for her. Grandfather Feng was angry at his granddaughter. How did Feng house give birth to such a child?
He didnt hold it against her that she had no talent. She didnt need it since she wouldnt inherit the house. The important thing was to find a good family for her to marry into. Get her a good husband so she could live a happy life with plenty of children.
But this girl was always rebellious! That face of hers. It was like the whole world owed her something.
