A Leopard Cannot Change its Spots

Feng Yu Heng felt that she was truly too generous of a person. How could she be so foolish as to pity Feng Jin Yuan at a time like this? How could she feel that this person would change after his experiences?

A leopard cannot change its spots. This was the best way to describe someone like Feng Jin Yuan.

Zi Rui did not know what sort of situation had occurred at the imperial daughter’s manor in the morning and could not help but ask: “What girl?”

Feng Yu Heng said: “The one that you met earlier.”

“Oh.” Zi Rui nodded but was still puzzled, “What is father looking for them for?”

Feng Yu Heng snorted coldly, “What do you think?”

Feng Zi Rui was very smart and understood his father very well. Now that his sister had said this, he immediately understood; however, he also recalled what his elder sister had said earlier. Thus he said to Feng Jin Yuan: “Whether it’s people or situations, you must not look at just the surface. That girl that you are speaking of, for example. There is a possibility that it’s a man.”

These words could not possibly be any more normal. The original intent was to say that Feng Jin Yuan’s eyes were bad for viewing Feng Zhao Lian as a female. But when Feng Jin Yuan heard them, they had their meaning slightly change. He felt that this brat was taunting him and his body’s situation. Instead of saying “a woman might be a man” it was “a man might be a woman.”

Feng Jin Yuan immediately wanted to lose his temper. He felt that this son had truly been born for the sole purpose of humiliating him. It would be better to just strangle this sort of child to death.

But just as the anger began to burn, it was immediately quelled. In the end, he was still able to maintain a bit of reason. He knew the reason he had come today. It had been for the sake of asking for help. If he began to argue with Feng Zi Rui, perhaps he would have waited a night in vain.

Thus he forcefully suppressed his anger. He wanted to bring up the main topic with Feng Yu Heng; however, he heard Feng Yu Heng speak first: “Father, you waited in front of my imperial daughter’s manor for a night. There must be something that you need of me?”

“Hah!” Feng Jin Yuan subconsciously replied.

However, he heard Feng Yu Heng continue: “It shouldn’t be just for the sake of inquiring about that right?” While she said this, her face was filled with disdain.

Feng Jin Yuan repeatedly shook his head, “No, no, of course not.”

She nodded, “Then that’s good.” She then walked into the manor while saying: “Then come in. It happens that I have something to discuss with father too.”

Feng Jin Yuan was stunned. There was something that she wanted to discuss with him? This sounded good! Since Feng Yu Heng wanted to discuss something with him, it was the equivalent of giving him some room to negotiate. Of course, it could not truly be considered a negotiation. At least, he would not be too passive this time around.

Thinking like this, he became a bit more alert. He followed behind Feng Yu Heng and went to the main hall. They sat down, and the servants began pouring tea. Feng Jin Yuan felt anxious and rushed to ask: “What is there that you wanted to request of me?”

“Hm?” Feng Yu Heng was startled, “Request?” She then laughed, “Father, what sort of joke is that. What is there that I could ask of you? Also, even if I made a request, what could you accomplish?”

Feng Jin Yuan felt as though his tongue was tied. If she was not making a request, what did she mean by wanting to discuss something with him?

Before he could ask, Feng Yu Heng began speaking once more: “There is indeed a matter, but it’s not a request. I figure it should be considered a warning.” While speaking, she pulled Zi Rui slightly, who was seated on the same chair as her. She said to Feng Jin Yuan: “Zi Rui is the son of the first wife of the Feng family. Father hasn’t forgotten about that, right?”
