Hugged the Wrong Leg

When Feng Jin Yuan left the county princess’ manor, he was entirely distracted. He no longer had the aura and bearing of a prime minister.

Feng Yu Heng wanted him to go borrow money. Only by gathering one million taels of silver could he regain the deed, but at this time, where should he go to borrow money?

At this time, the sky was already dark; however, Feng Jin Yuan did not return to the manor. Instead, he had the mentality of hoping to get lucky by going to the homes of the officials that he usually got along with. He only had one goal: to borrow money.

Unfortunately, a featherless phoenix was inferior to a chicken. After knocking on the doors of five homes, three of them did not even open its doors. One of them frankly said: “Our master said that he would meet with anyone, but he could not meet with lord Feng, Feng Jin Yuan.”

It was the last one that invited him into the hall. That home’s lord had heard that he came to borrow money. With a troubled expression, he said: “Recently, I have also had struggles, but I cannot allow lord Feng to return empty-handed.” He then had a servant brought out a small bag of silver, placing it in Feng Jin Yuan’s hand. Very magnanimously, he said: “No need to mention borrowing. This will be given to lord Feng. There’s no need to return it.” After saying this, he quickly had his servant escort the guest out.

Feng Jin Yuan left through the front gate and opened up the bag to take a look. Inside was a handful of shattered silver. Weighing it, there were 20 taels at most. Angered, he threw it back at the gate. With the clanking sounds, a person inside shouted: “Take it if you want it. If you don’t, just scram! You beg for food yet complain that it stinks!”

Feng Jin Yuan’s old face had truly been lost completely. He wanted to just leave, but he felt unreconciled. When he was in the county princess’ manor, thunder had boomed, but rain did not fall. This time, it looked as though it was about to come down. It caused him to feel a little suffocated.

He looked at the tightly closed gate and gritted his teeth then loudly said: “Don’t look down on others! Don’t forget that our Feng family still has county princess Ji An!” After saying this, he snorted and quickly left.

Feng Jin Yuan never thought that there would come a day when he would need to rely on Feng Yu Heng to save face. He suddenly found that the Feng family had been searching for a pillar of support for many years by raising daughters. It seemed that they had taken a wrong turn at some point. It was as the matriarch had said in the afternoon. Feng Chen Yu was not the hope of the Feng family. Feng Yu Heng was. Then all of these years… they had clearly been hugging the wrong leg…

Boom!

Another boom of thunder roared. This time, the rain finally fell, and it was a torrential rain. There was no gradual change from light to heavy rain. It was suddenly as though the entire sky opened up, and rain had been directly poured down. In torrents, it fell on Feng Jin Yuan’s head and body.

He was practically unable to stand steadily from the rain. The rain bounced off the ground and a mist covered the road, making the road impossible to see clearly. He could only rely on his memory to run back to the Feng manor. Who knew how many times he fell. When he finally returned to the manor, the gatekeeper nearly did not recognize him.

The heavy rain and thunderstorm continued to wreak havoc throughout the night. It did not even seem to stop at dawn the next day.

Feng Yu Heng did not sleep much that night. She woke up very early and stood by the window. This sort of thunder scared her a little. It caused her to remember that she had also been awoken by lightning when she first came to Da Shun. The thunder sounded just as it did right now. With each one getting louder, it managed to bring a dead person to Da Shun and over to Xuan Tian Ming.
