How Could He Be Let Off so Easily
Feng Yu Heng had always been blunt with the way she spoke, and some of the things would cause even Feng Jin Yuan’s face to turn red. But regardless of whether the words were blunt or not, what she had said was the truth. Even if Feng Jin Yuan was embarrassed, he had to obediently accept it. It was just that after accepting it, he did not know how he should reply.
Feng Yu Heng was in no rush, gently patting Zi Rui and saying: “Go play on your own. Elder sister will discuss some things with father.”
The young child also knew that there would be times when he should avoid certain situations, thus he happily ran out to play. Only when it was just father and daughter that remained did Feng Jin Yuan feel that he commanded a bit more respect, saying: “Father is quite shameless, but A-Heng, that was your mother that stabbed me. Normally speaking, you should give me an explanation.”
He was also feeling panicked and was willing to say anything; however, these words caused a wave of anger to well up inside Feng Yu Heng. But she had also become accustomed to Feng Jin Yuan being unreasonable. She knew that there would be no end if she got angry, thus she forcefully suppressed it and very seriously told him: “If you feel that there was something to dispute over that matter, go to the government office to file a complaint. Complain that Yao shi left you crippled. Whether it’s paying with money or with life, that’s between you two. It’s unrelated to me. You also know the current relationship between her and me. That’s why you can’t threaten me with this matter.”
Feng Jin Yuan was stunned. He thought that Feng Yu Heng might get angry, but he never thought that she would say these things. After thinking of Yao shi’s recent situation, their relationship was on the verge of rupturing. Back then, he had secretly laughed at Yao shi for being stupid and laughed at Feng Yu Heng for being truly isolated; however, who knew that she would use this reason to brush him off. For a while, Feng Jin Yuan was also speechless. This sort of thing was already hard to talk about. He had mentioned it, and she had refused. What else could be done?
He could not help but feel distressed over the 150 taels of tuition fee. If he knew earlier that Feng Yu Heng would refuse to do it and use such words to render him speechless, he would not have bothered with scraping that money together. Either way, the imperial daughter’s manor had plenty of money. It was not to the point that it could not afford to send a child to school. But it was too late. It was too late!
Feng Jin Yuan regretted having done it!
But just as he was feeling frustrated, he suddenly heard Feng Yu Heng say: “Although it’s not convenient for me to examine that area for father, I can have the people from Hundred Herb Hall visit father to take a look.”
Feng Jin Yuan’s eyes lit up: “Hundred Herb Hall? Can… can they treat it?”
Feng Yu Heng shrugged: “I don’t know, but the doctors at Hundred Herb Hall were all personally taught by me. No matter what, they’re better than the common doctors. In fact, they are no worse than the imperial physicians in the palace. If father wishes to try, I will have them go over at a later time.”
Feng Jin Yuan rubbed his hands. He had found a glimmer of hope in his darkest hour! He had thought that there was no hope; however, who knew that this daughter really was not too heartless. Thus he repeatedly nodded: “Yes! Good! Then I’ll ask the doctors from Hundred Herb Hall to take a look!”
Feng Yu Heng reminded him once more: “Father, don’t rejoice too soon. It’s truly been far too long since you were injured. The chance of it being successfully treated is only 10 percent.”
These words were like being sprayed with cold water. Fortunately, Feng Jin Yuan was able to endure and repeatedly gave thanks before quickly leaving the imperial daughter’s manor. As for having Feng Yu Heng help find him a job, he did not dare bring it up. Negotiating and succeeding once with this daughter was already good enough. He could not get greedy. In any case, treating his injury was most important. The matter of a job could be slowly talked about later.
