In the End, She Is Inferior to Feng Yu Heng

Feng Yu Heng could investigate the heavens and the earth, but she still could not investigate behind Xuan Tian Hua’s back. She clearly knew that there was a problem with Yu Qian Yin, and she clearly knew that there was something strange about her, but she could not bring herself to do it. She did not know what angle she should investigate this from. That person was, in the end, Xuan Tian Hua. It was not her husband, who would allow her to do anything. It was not Xuan Tian Ming, who would allow her to do whatever she pleased. That was a person that was like a deity. He was so fine that… she did not know how to handle this matter.

Forget it. She gently sighed, “I must trust seventh brother. If he does not speak about it, I will neither ask nor investigate.” These words were said for Wang Chuan to hear, but they were even more so for herself.

Wang Chuan knew that Feng Yu Heng was feeling uncomfortable, but she still asked: “Then what about third young miss?”

She said: “Let that girl go and think about things carefully. If she is unable to develop an unyielding character, even if I was to forcefully try and help her, I would not be able to do anything. Moreover, I cannot protect her for her entire life. People, in the end, must rely on themselves.”

Xiang Rong also knew this. People would need to rely on themselves, but she still did not know how to do this. She was also unable to understand how her second sister, despite only being two years older than herself, seemed to be even more capable than her own concubine mother? Did two years really make that much of a difference?

Coming out of the county princess’ manor, she did not return to the Feng manor. This girl never dared to go out alone. Perhaps it was because she had suffered a shock, causing her to wander onto the main road in a daze. When she recovered mentally, she was already standing in front of An shi’s embroidery shop.

This shop was not large, but it was still quite dazzling. Every month, it was able to provide An shi and Xiang Rong with a decent subsidy, and a decent sum could be saved. An shi relied on this to provide Xiang Rong with a rather plentiful dowry.

Xiang Rong stood in front of this embroidery shop and thought back to what An shi had said. When she got married, this should become part of her dowry. Even if she did not have the favor or love of her husband, and she did not have a child to rely on, with this shop, she would not starve to death.

But Xiang Rong, in truth, did not want it. First, An shi also relied on this shop. If she took it away, what would An shi do? Living in that vicious Feng family, without any source of income to rely on, would she be fine? Also, if she did not have the love of her future husband, what was the point of having this shop? Would living really be that important?

While her mind was a mess from these wild thoughts, she heard a clear voice come from inside the shop. It was a girl speaking, “That handkerchief is really pretty. I want it.”

Xiang Rong looked inside the shop and saw a girl wearing a lake-blue dress. Reaching out, she pointed at a handkerchief and said to the clerk: “Any amount is fine, I want that handkerchief.”

The clerk had an apologetic expression, saying: “Young miss, I truly am sorry. This handkerchief has already been ordered by someone else. I fear that I cannot sell it to you. How about you take another look around. If there is something else that you want, I can give you a bit of a discount.”

The girl did not speak for a long time, and Xiang Rong frowned. Just as she was about to go in to help, she heard that girl finally speak up: “It’s fine. I will come at a later date. If that person no longer wants it, just sell it to me. If it’s taken away, I will pick a different one.” While she spoke, her temper was cool, and she covered all of her bases.
