Feng Yu Heng said with a smile: "Grandmother was concerned for A-Heng and younger brother, since we have not spent the new year in the capital for many years. You specially sent eldest sister to Tong Sheng pavilion to remind A-Heng. A-Heng is very grateful. But I was in a rush to leave in the morning to pick up Zi Rui, so I did not even have a chance to look at the gifts that were brought."
She said this while pushing Zi Rui forward. The young child had spent a few months in Xiao Zhou, and he had become a little more clever. Seeing that his elder sister pushed him forward, he immediately ran over to the side of Feng Chen Yu's bed and knelt. Raising his clear and childish voice, he said: "Zi Rui thanks eldest sister for the concern. Eldest sister went to pick me up in kindness, but elder sister also suffered from the ambush. Zi Rui is very remorseful. But would eldest sister please be at ease. Grandmother will definitely get justice for us!"
The matriarch was still wondering when she had told Chen Yu to pass along a message, but she was given a great shock by what Zi Rui had said. She anxiously asked: "What did you say? Ambushed?" She then looked at the injury on Chen Yu's head. She originally thought that it was from a fall, but she never thought that it would be from an ambush.
Chen Yu lay in bed and cried. The matriarch was felt that she had been wronged, so she could not help but say: "Chen Yu, don't worry. Grandmother will definitely not allow this matter to be ignored. To dare to take action against my Feng family's children, I will see which criminal is tired of living!"
Chen Yu's cries suddenly stopped, as though something had blocked her throat, making her unable to make a single sound.
The matriarch's words had given her a shock, but when she thought about it, there was nothing for her to fear. She knew that aside from the hawk that her third uncle was secretly raising, the people who had been sent to kill Zi Rui were all hired. Even if the matriarch were to investigate, she would not find out anything.
Thinking of this, the blockage in her throat cleared up, and she resumed her crying.
The matriarch was upset by her crying, but she also felt that the injury to the forehead was a bit shocking. With this bit of flesh missing, Chen Yu's appearance was wasted. The confidence that she had just regained in this granddaughter not too long ago was once again lost. She could not help but scold: "Stop crying. The doctor has already been called!"
Chen Yu once again had something block her throat and needed Yi Lin to help calm her down slightly.
The matriarch gave granny Zhao a look to help Zi Rui up. She then asked him: "How were you ambushed?" Thinking a little more, she looked at Feng Yu Heng, "How was it that only your eldest sister was injured?"
Zi Rui replied: "On the way back to the capital, I was ambushed by over ten people in black clothes. Fortunately, sister Wang Chuan hid me in a pile of snow. Only that allowed me to avoid this crisis. But... sister Wang Chuan was taken away by the bad guys. It seems that we were lacking in luck." Reaching this point, the child began to feel saddened, lowering his head in tears.
He had a deep relationship with Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, especially Wang Chuan, who took extra care of him after going to Xiao Zhou. She would often go visit him at the academy. Remaining alone and away from home at a young age, to say that he did not miss home would be a lie. Seeing Wang Chuan was like seeing family, which made him feel very comfortable.
Seeing that Zi Rui was reduced to tears and could no longer speak, the matriarch turned to Feng Yu Heng and said: "Your turn to speak."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "That's how it was on Zi Rui's side. As for us, our horse was running perfectly fine, but it had its eye poked out by a goshawk that suddenly dove from midair. The carriage began bouncing, throwing me from the carriage. The goshawk dove once more and caused the wound on eldest sister's forehead."
