A group of people walk for a long time on the intricate forest path, they don’t meet people who look like farmers coming on the way, but pa.s.sed by several huts too. When the villagers saw them, they were indifferent and went on with their own work without saying h.e.l.lo.
Feng Ming and others knew and thinking to themselves that Lady Yaoye had probably said h.e.l.lo to them, otherwise these people might have already dealt with them because they have trespa.s.sed.
At the end of the trail, Mao Lin unexpectedly disappeared and suddenly opens up to a wide panorama.
Except for a few verdant and lush low bushes, only a large area of blue and violet flowers blooms, which is bright and beautiful.
A rather big area of elegant looking courtyard stands right in front of it.
Feng Ming shakes his head. “Mom is really good at deceiving people, last time she pretended to be pitiful and said that she had no place to stay. She wanted to take Cai Qiang to wander around the world, it turns out that the family property is quite rich. Even the place where the flowers are planted is so beautiful.”
Rong Tian smiles softly, “Lady Yaoye had been taken a fancy to by my master, of course her origin is extraordinary. Although she deliberately conceals her origin, you can conclude that she must be a n.o.ble descendant of a certain kingdom only by her talking and manners, what’s so strange about having a little bit of family property?”
Feng Ming’s eyes widened. “My mom is a n.o.ble descendant?”
“Of course.” Rong Tian lightly says, “Can such a woman be brought up by ordinary people?” Feng Ming never thought about this and got confused.
Rong Tian doesn’t care much about this, instead he looks at the other courtyard in front of him and shows his appreciation. “Outside the forest and inside the valley, the mountain shape is rare, the topography is strange, and it is very different from the periphery. No wonder Lady Yaoye chose the climate in the center of this other courtyard to plant flowers and plants”.
Everyone goes on, and at the gate of the other courtyard, there was still unimpeded no hindrance.
It’s obvious that Mian Ya, the spy leader has dealt with Lady Yaoye by relying on Feng Ming’s signboard, having been here at least once, he easily led everyone to the second door and ordered most of them to stay with the guards. “The Lady doesn’t like too many people entering her place.”
Leading only Feng Ming, Rong Tian, Rong Hu and Luo Ning, the two masters continue to move forward.
The farther they go, the quieter the environment, they’re walking on the shear path connecting the cabins, but there’s an illusion like walking in a spooky tunnel.
Feng Ming s.h.i.+vers and whispers to Rong Tian, ”Why do I feel like I’m walking in the tunnel where your Xirei Palace hides an ice coffin ah?”
Rong Tian reaches out his hand quietly, holding his waist lightly, smiling and saying, “Probably because of the topography, the temperature has dropped a lot here, of course you will feel cold. If nothing special, it will not attract your mother who likes to use poison the most in the world.”
Now there are only a few confidants around and there are no scruples, so it doesn’t matter to be intimate.
The area of the other courtyard seem to be really large, Mian Ya leads them to turn a few places before they reached their destination.
Mian Ya says, “The Lady has ordered that if this subordinate led Duke Ming to come, just come here to see her.”
Everyone knows that Lady Yaoye is inside, so they all voluntarily stop and wait outside.
Only Feng Ming and Rong Tian go in.
Stepping the threshold, Feng Ming is almost startled. Lady Yaoye seems to have been informed earlier, sitting on the chair with a cold face, staring at him with great vigor, “Why are you just here now?”
“Uh? Mom? I … I just got here now.”
With a snort Lady Yaoye stands up and walks in front of him, reaching out without saying a word.
Feng Ming is still frightened by her ear-twisting, so he shrinks back suddenly and hides behind Rong Tian.
Lady Yaoye’s hand suddenly fall empty.
“d.a.m.n boy, come out to me.”
“Mom, if you have something to say, don’t do it first.” Feng Ming heard Lady Yaoye scolded, poked his head behind Rong Tian, and looked aggrieved. “I just got here, i haven’t done anything wrong, why are you twisting people’s ears?”
Has she guessed that I came to “borrow” Wen Lan?
Even if mother and son, there’s no reason to be so congenial, right?
Lady Yaoye grits her teeth and lifts her eyebrows, “Who wants to tweak your ears? In order to guard against outsiders, this small courtyard has been sprinkled with magic incense and poison in many places, I see your a.s.s nails all day so you will wander around at first a glance, i will apply some detoxifying powder on you, so as not to poison you to death you stupid thing. Come here quickly?”
Only then did Feng Ming realize his own suspicion that he’s so embarra.s.sed then comes out obediently.
Lady Yaoye’s wipe and rub her delicate fingers to him, a light smell of gra.s.s came through, which was very comfortable. It seemed to be the detoxification powder.
“Thank you mom.”
“You’re welcome.” Lady Yaoye smiles lovingly at him and suddenly her face sink, her two fingers grab Feng Ming’s right ear and pulling hard.
“Ah!” Feng Ming shouts like a pig, “Mother, don’t you say you won’t pull my ear?”
With one hand on her hips Lady Yaoye twist his ears with the other hand, “You actually believe your mom won’t pull your ears? Anyway, you have judged that this old mom is not a kind mother, so this old mom might as well do it for you.”
“My ears are going to fall off! Rong Tian, help! It hurts!”
“Do you dare to doubt this old mom’s kindness?”
“I Don’t! I Don’t dare!” Rong Tian looks distressed, reaches out and hugs Feng Ming in his arms, he smiles and says, “take it easy, Lady. Feng Ming is very afraid of pain. Although he is a little disrespectful, he has come to visit you with filial piety after all.”
“If he had been filial, he should have come over to greet long ago. Dillydally, why did you just come here today? Not filial son.” Lady Yaoye says a few words angrily, but finally let go of Feng Ming’s ears.
Feng Ming scowl miserably and rub his poor ears, with belly full of bitter water.
(t/n: bitter water means: bitter complain)
Last time, you old mom ran faster than the rabbit. How can I ask?
And I just learned where you lived, how come i greet so early?
However, Rong Tian had long known Lady Yaoye’s odd temper, could not treat her same with ordinary people, such a trivial matter is better to follow her intentions. “Indeed he’s unfilial, Lady knows his young ignorance, please forgive him.”
Feng Ming stares at Rong Tian with injustice.
Who’s not filial?
However Lady Yaoye is coaxed by Rong Tian and looks at him with a smile. “The King of Xirei really can talk. Sit down and talk. It just so happens that I need to talk to you, too.”
Feng Ming covers his ears and sit down with Rong Tian, but he’s stared at by Lady Yaoye, “Who told you to sit?”
Frightened Feng Ming jumps up and looks at her pitifully.
Lady Yaoye says, “mom wants to talk to The King of Xirei about business, so you go outside and wait obediently, and don’t run around.”
Feng Ming’s eyes are straight, and it took a long time to figure out that she was not joking, so he blink and turns to look at Rong Tian.
Rong Tian smiles and says, “Just listen to your mom.”
Feng Ming utters an “un”.
Walk out with his head down.
Don’t know what was so important that even he is not allowed to listen.
He can’t help but sighing.
Everyone has a mother, why is it that she is so rare and hard to serve? It’s like this when he sees her once in a while, the poor dad, Xiao Zong, may have been wrung black and blue all over.
Seeing Feng Ming’s figure disappearing at the door, Rong Tian withdraw the smile from the corners of his mouth and asks in a deep voice, “What’s so important that Lady should even dismiss Feng Ming?””
There is indeed one thing that I need to ask The King of Xirei to do for me.” As soon as Lady Yaoye changes her normal state, she shows her true color. “This is a great loss of face to the Xiao family, and Xiao Zhong must not know. As for Feng Ming, I think that child is also thin-skinned, so it would be best if he didn’t know.”
Rong Tian wonders, “What’s the matter? Even master should not know?”
Lady Yaoye silent for a long time, she takes out something, as if she felt angry when she looked at it again, she throws it heavily on several cases around Rong Tian and grits her teeth, “I want you to thoroughly investigate the person who did it, and make sure that he is captured alive and handed over to This Lady to deal with it personally. What a d.a.m.n thing! Really humiliating my son, I’ll make his life worse than death!”
As soon as Rong Tian saw the indecent Duke Ming doll, he immediately became angry. “Even Lady has one here?”
“What? Has The King of Xirei seen it too?”
Rong Tian snorts angrily, “Rong Hu once showed me one, if it wasn’t for the evidence to track down the culprit, It would have been torn to pieces. How can this be! There is no need for The Lady to tell me about it, i will look into it thoroughly and never let it go.”
When the two were feel indignant for Feng Ming inside the room and vowed revenge, Feng Ming already thought of something else and went out the door, he walks to Rong Hu who waits nearby and smile evilly, “Hehe, the opportunity is here. My mom was temporarily attracted by Rong Tian, quickly take advantage of this time to find Wenlan, maybe we can really find such a pot.”
Mian Ya advises, “The Lady is good at using poison, the place where herbs are planted will not be ignored, Duke Ming had better not wander around.”
“Heehee, my mom is still good to this son, you see,” Feng Ming points to his nose. “She just put Detoxification powder on me. I’d be fine to wander around. But for those of you who haven’t put on it, don’t follow me around. Just stay here and keep me on the lookout, just look at my mom and Rong Tian.”
Everyone knows that he racked his brains for Wen Lan, this opportunity is rare and it is a pity to give up.
Besides, there are a large number of masters and guards outside and Lady Yaoye’s poisonous array inside, this small courtyard is still very safe.
Rong Hu and Mian Ya glance at each other, and say to Feng Ming, “Duke Ming can only wander around nearby, and come back as soon as he can’t see it, otherwise Lady Yaoye will come to you after talking with Great King, it will be bad to ask.”
“Don’t worry, i’ll be back soon.”
Luo Ning catches up with two steps and whispers, “Young Master, there is something I want to tell you.”
Feng Ming is in a hurry to steal, but Luo Ning is the elder of the Xiao family, he had no choice but to give him face, so he had to stop. “What’s wrong Leader Luo? Can’t we talk about it later?”
“It’s just a small matter to report to the young master.” Luo Ning says, “Princess Chang Liu once sent a maid over, saying that she was not hostile to the Xiao family and hoped to make a good relations.h.i.+p with the Xiao family.”
“Oh?”
“But at that time the young master was busy with the business and didn’t bother to pay attention to it. I saw that the alliance was also a good thing, so I helped the young master agree to it. I originally wanted to report this matter to young master but I was busy all the way and was dragged on to this day.”
Feng Ming frowns and thinks for a moment, scratching his head, “Oh no, Princess Chang Liu, it’s not because I promised to help her with Wen Lan, that she’s is going to set up an alliance to return the favor, right? Aih, Leader Luo, we’ll talk about this later.”
He waves back casually and walks back to his business.
When I came in all the way just now, i seemed to see a building like a flower garden far away. The direction should be … Northeast?
Well, let’s go there first.
Should we feel relieve that Feng Ming is protected by detoxification powder given by his mom????????? i’m still worried tho………. Feng Ming you stupid little thing….
