Chapter 244 - 244: The Little Bun Is Behaving Strangely
“Don’t worry. Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan will bring her back,” Feng Yili said reassuringly in a low voice.
Qian Mei planned to walk to the carriage on her own, but Jiang Chuan hurried over. He frowned a little, looking worried as he whispered, “Miss Qian Me, forgive me for being rude.”
After saying that, Jiang Chun picked Qian Mei up.
Qian Mei was stunned. However, she was not a pretentious person and did not protest. Instead, she quickly said, “Thank you.”
At this moment, the little bun yawned, looking tired. He did not expect that they would encounter so much trouble in the palace.
Luo Xiuran pinched the little bun’s nose and said, “Let’s go, little fellow.”
When they returned to the residence, the atmosphere was a little oppressive.
Feng Yili helped Yu Yunxi into bed. He wanted her to rest well, but she sat up and tugged at his sleeve.
“Feng Yili, do you blame me?” Yu Yunxi asked in a low voice.
After all, she had exposed Gao Shixuan today. It might make things difficult for Feng Yili in the future.
“If you didn’t reveal the truth today, do you know what would’ve happened to you?” Feng Yili asked as he looked at her.
Yu Yunxi shook her head. Her tone was extremely complicated as she said, “Of course, I know. Qian Mei would’ve lost her life, and both of us would’ve been implicated.”
“That’s right. When Gao Shixuan schemed against you, was she soft-hearted? Yunxi, I know you’re usually very decisive. I hope you won’t be soft-hearted and indecisive because of me. After all, nothing in this world is more important than your and Junjin’s safety. Even if you didn’t expose Gao Shixuan today, I would have done it as well. I wouldn’t let her off,” Feng Yili said firmly.
Yu Yunxi’s heart was moved when she heard him. She lowered her gaze and said softly, “Alright, I understand.’
After a moment, she suddenly asked in a muffled voice, “But don’t you think I’m scary? After all, I already started scheming against Gao Shixuan when we were in Xinan…”
In order to expose Gao Shixuan’s true colors, Yu Yunxi was very calculated in each move she made. Others would think she was too scheming.
Feng Yili leaned down and hugged her before he stared at her with his dark eyes. After a long time, he said hoarsely, “Scary? I’m much scarier than you are. I’ve been scheming every day for the past twenty years or more. This is just a way for us to protect ourselves. So, Yunxi, you’re not wrong. You’ve never been wrong.”
Yu Yunxi’s heart finally calmed down after she heard these words.
Feng Yili continued to say flatly with eyes devoid of warmth, “I’ll help Liu Xiaolan. However, Gao Shixuan is wrong. Even if she has to pay with her life, I won’t have any pity for her.”
At this moment, Gao Zixiu’s angry voice suddenly rang from outside.
“You wicked people! Return me my father and mother!”
“It looks like he’s found out about what happened in the palace,” Yu Yunxi said with a frown. She wanted to go out and take a look, but Feng Yili stopped her.
“No, just let him be. There are some things that he has to learn to accept on his own,” Feng Yili said in a low voice. Then, he said forcefully, “You should rest.’
Yu Yunxi glanced outside the window. The sky was not even dark yet. Why did he always want her to rest? She massaged her temples and said helplessly, “I’m not tired.”
“Well, I think you’re tired and that you should rest,” Feng Yili said seriously.
Yu Yunxi:
At this moment, she finally knew who Yu Junjin had taken after. In the past, Yu Junjin would also force her to rest like this.
“No. Feng Yili, 1…”
Feng Yili got into bed and lay down next to her as he said, “You’re protesting so much. Is it because you want me to accompany you? Alright, I won’t leave. I’ll accompany you. ”
With that, he pulled her into his arms with one hand and pressed the back of her head against his chest with the other. Then, he patted her back as though he was coaxing a child to sleep. He whispered, “You went through a lot today.
Rest.”
Yu Yunxi said she was not tired, but her eyelids began to grow heavier and heavier when she sensed his warmth and smelled his reassuring scent. It did not take long before she fell asleep.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Feng Yili gently let go of her. After covering her with a blanket and making sure she would not kick it off like the little bun did, he left the room.
Not long after Feng Yili walked out, he saw Gao Zixiu glaring at him with hatred in his eyes.
Gao Zixiu questioned angrily, “You were unwilling to admit that I’m your son, and it took me a long time to accept that. Now that I’ve accepted it, why do you have to send my parents to prison?”
“So you only thought about the outcome? What about the reason? Did you ignore the reason behind the outcome?” Feng Yili asked expressionlessly.
Gao Zixiu’s expression turned unnatural, and he quickly averted his eyes.
Clearly, he was aware of what Gao Shixuan had done.
Feng Yili walked forward. His gaze was piercing as he asked, “You knew there was something wrong with that medicine, right?”
Colors drained from Gao Zixiu’s face immediately. Naturally, he knew there was something wrong with the medicine. After all, Qian Mei would bring him the medicine, saying that it was for him. However, as soon as Qian Mei left, his mother would pour the medicine away. Moreover, every night, his mother would hold a small figurine and poke it with a needle as she cursed Yu Yunxi. Nonetheless, he refused to expose his mother. It was not because he loved his mother very much; it was just that he also really hated Yu Yunxi. In his opinion, it was all Yu Yunxi’s fault that he lost his status as the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence. To him, it did not matter if he was truly the biological son of Feng Yili as long as he could stay in the Prince Regent’s
Residence as the heir, doted upon by Consort Dowager Ning. It was all Yu Yunxi’s fault that he had lost everything.
Seeing the resentful expression on Gao Zixiu’s face, Feng Yili’s expression turned cold. He said, “Tomorrow, I’ll get someone to send you to Junior Aunt Yi An. Reflect on what you did wrong. Don’t let jealousy consume you.”
Yi An was the junior sister of Feng Yili’s master. In the early years, she had left the valley to cultivate. Feng Yili thought that it was not a bad idea to send Gao Zixiu to Yi An.
Gao Zixiu silently lowered his head upon hearing Feng Yili’s words. He had mixed feelings.
‘Did I really do something wrong?’
Feng Yili was not in a hurry to make Gao Zixiu admit his mistakes. He only glanced at the latter indifferently before he left.
The little bun jumped up in shock when he heard the commotion. When he turned around and saw Feng Yili, he asked nervously, “F-father, w-what are you doing here?”
Feng Yili asked curiously, raising an eyebrow, “What were you doing?”
