Chapter 1120

Between Us, It Is Over

Xuan Tianyan had experienced this kind of loss before, and that time had been much more severe than this one, he spent a few chaotic years due to that shock, obtaining the title of Absurd Prince, and also became a well-known lecherous person in the whole of Da Shun. The number of women in his palace almost caught up to the numbers in the whole of the Emperor’s harem. From 20 years older to 10 years younger than him, he had all of them. The women on the streets, whether it was a girl who was not engaged yet or a woman who was already married in a decent family, as long as they bore some resemblance to that person, he would always want to think of ways to make them come to his Li Palace.

Because of this, how many people had gone to the gates of the court to beat on the drums during those years! But he also had his principles, if he snatched the person, he would give money, he would give it to them until the money could knock out the person who came to complain, hit them with it until they complained no longer.

He had thought that he would continue to be this absurd, until he met Feng Fendai, perhaps one set of the crystal headpiece was still not enough to him to be that interested, at the beginning, he was only planning to have her enter the palace as a secondary wife, until he saw Feng Fendai dance that Snow Plum dance, this was when his heart was truly shaken up, the days he spent with that person entered his mind once again, causing him to dismiss all the women in his palace because of that one dance.

He had tolerated Feng Fendai for these few years and was already prepared to continue tolerating her, even starting to get used to Feng Fendai’s temper, but he did not expect that, today, this girl actually told him that she wanted to break off the engagement! How could Xuan Tianyan accept it!

“This Prince does not agree!” He said harshly: “Feng Fendai, you can do anything you want, I do not care, but wanting to break off the engagement with This Prince, This Prince will tell you, that is impossible! Stop dreaming!”

Perhaps he spoke harshly and was agitated, Xiao Bao who was still being carried by him was rather afraid and starting crying with a Uuuu.

Dong Ying quickly received the child, then as she placated him and backed up a few steps, giving the two space to speak. After watching the scene for a while, the people of Yu Palace chose to close the gates, locking the commotion outside with a “bang”. They could not be bothered to deal with this Feng Young Miss’ suicidal actions.

“Feng Fendai!” Xuan Tianyan continued to speak, he asked Fendai: “You woman, do you have a heart at all? How This Prince treated you these few years, are you actually blind? You cannot see? Or is it your heart that is blind and you cannot feel it? This Prince knows that you have ambition, and also knows that with This Prince’s capabilities, they do not match your ambitions. But Feng Fendai, you need to evaluate yourself as well! Everything that you wish to obtain, who can give it to you? Which Palace can you still marry into? Which Prince can you still convince? Ah, Feng Fendai, Feng Fendai, after so many years, why am I still unable to see through what you are thinking?”

Compared to Xuan Tianyan’s hot-tempered actions, Feng Fendai was looking at him with an indifferent expression, as if what he was saying was not directed at her, having no relation to her at all. The Feng family’s trait of having muted emotions were expressed fully in this concubine’s daughter, even surpassing Feng Jinyan in the past.

She told Xuan Tianyan: “It is true that your abilities cannot match up to my ambitions, and because of your status, my ambitions have continued to grow during these years. I had fought for my ambitions before, worked hard before, but I could not fulfil my wishes. So I do not want that kind of ambitious heart anymore, so I want to stay further away from all of you, further away, so far that we will not longer interact even when we live until old age and die, without any connections, there will no longer be any wild wishes. Xuan Tianyan, you are a rather good person, I will not comment about how you were in the past, and only know that you have treated me well. Therefore, I cannot harm you anymore, find a better person! We are not a good match.”

After saying this, she walked forward a few steps, suddenly stopping again, turning around slightly to say: “I will move out of Crystal courtyard, I still have some silver in my possession, it was what you had given me in the past, I will not return them to you. Using that silver, I can still rent a small yard and will not live too poorly. As for the servants in my manor, I will only bring Dong Ying with me, help me dismiss the rest! I think that Your Highness the Fifth Prince does not lack that little bit of silver to dismiss servants.”

Seeing that this girl was going to walk away from him just like this, watching Dong Ying pulling Xiao Bao and leaving together with Fendai, Xuan Tianyan suddenly felt despair rise up within in again, just like the time when he heard the news of that person’s death so many years ago! He chased after her with a few steps, begging: “Fendai, it is all my fault, please do not leave, alright? Our engagement was approved by Father Emperor, it cannot be broken off that easily. Fendai, listen to me, all the mistakes are my fault, you can hit me and scold me, but do not break off our engagement, okay?”

Feng Fendai harshly swung her sleeve, pulling her arm away from Xuan Tianyan’s hands, speaking loudly at the same time: “I originally wanted to have you emerge on top during this commotion, unfortunately, I cannot see any hope. Xuan Tianyan, let go! Between us, it is over.”

Xuan Tianyan was stunned, seeing the people in front of him moving further away, he wanted to give chase again, but his legs grew heavy and he did not seem to have the courage. The attendant next to him advised: “Your Highness, do not give chase anymore, if she wants to break off the engagement, then break it off. Based on This Subordinate’s opinion, this is a good thing. It has been a few years, Your Highness has done all you could for her, doing everything which you should, but what did you get back in return? This Subordinate only knows that after taking in this Feng Fourth Miss, Your Highness changed completely, losing the pride of a prince, still occasionally getting criticised by a woman. Your Highness, what are you doing? This Subordinate would rather our Li Palace revert to how it was in the past than seeing you getting angered and treated badly when with the Feng family’s Young Miss all day!”

Everyone knew he was angered and being treated badly, Xuan Tianyan thought, was he being too shallow? Because he was too proactive, it was to the point that Feng Fendai did not respect him at all? The servant was correct, during the past few years, he did not act like himself at all, but in the end, what did he obtain? Compromising for the sake of the end goal, but what did he get in return? Treating a woman wholeheartedly, what kind of ending and repayment did he get?

He suddenly laughed, pointing in the direction Feng Fendai left and mumbled in a self-absorbed manner: “Feng Fendai, I used to treat you sincerely, but you did not appreciate it at all. Then, from now on, we will walk the path of strangers!”

Fendai only boarded her own horse carriage after walking out of the alleyway. After getting on, she told Dong Ying: “This horse carriage was also prepared by Crystal courtyard, we will not sit on it again in the future. When we return, I will give you some silver, look for someone to help source for a courtyard, it is best if we can live further away from the centre of this capital, but do not go to the city south or city north, look in the east and west. We do not need that many servants, just have those to burn wood and cook, and do rough work and cleaning. There needs to be one horse carriage and a nanny needs to be hired for Xiao Bao.”

She calmly arranged for everything in the future and Dong Ying had heartache listening to this. “Young Miss.” She advised Fendai, “Consider it again, His Highness the Fifth Prince is really a good person and there is nothing to criticise about how he treats Young Miss, why must you make a decision like this? Please forgive This Servant for saying more, since you plan to leave everything behind and live a peaceful life, isn’t it good to live a peaceful life with the Fifth Prince? The Fifth Prince is not an ambitious prince, This Servant can tell, he has more desire to lead a happily married life with Young Miss in front of the flowers and under the moon. For this kind of life, other people would love to have it, why is Young Miss unwilling?”

In response to Dong Ying’s words, Feng Fendai thought about it very seriously, only telling Dong Ying after half a beat: “You do not know the reason? Then let me tell you, a happily married life in front of the flowers and under the moon will only work with a person you love, but that Fifth Prince, I had never liked him from the start! I liked his status, his authority, liked that if I followed him, I would be able to raise my head up in the Feng family! But I did not expect for the Feng family to collapse so quickly and more unexpectedly, this Fifth Prince is rotten mud which could not be held up, no matter how much effort I put in, his mind will always lack that desire to rise higher. Since he was unable to give what I want, and is not who I love, then, why must I spend the rest of my life with him?”

What she said scared Dong Ying and she wanted to cover Feng Fendai’s mouth, but Feng Fendai stopped her, “Don’t be scared, it doesn’t matter regardless of who heard this. Xuan Tianyan knows very well that I do not return his feelings, he treats me well only to search for memories in the past. If he wants to talk about the depth of his feelings to me, Feng Fendai, that is all nonsense. I am only a replacement for a dead person, for that kind of replacement, he can find a lot of them.”

Dong Ying hugged Xiao Bao, feeling rather bad about it. So her Young Miss did not love His Highness the Fifth Prince! No wonder she could treat him like this, no wonder she could choose to leave in such a definite manner. So the root cause of everything was because there was no love!

Dong Ying really wanted to ask Feng Fendai who she loved, but without even asking yet, she remembered a rumour she heard a long time ago: Feng family’s Fourth Miss was also attracted to the Ninth Prince and grew jealous of Feng family’s Second Miss many times, even thinking of many ideas to gain the Ninth Prince’s favour but unfortunately, it was fruitless.

At that time, she had not entered Feng manor yet, she had heard about these things later, thinking about it now, the person in Feng Fendai’s heart should still be that sinister His Highness the Ninth Prince, right? It was true, compared to His Highness the Ninth Prince, His Highness the Fifth Prince was really lacking too much.

In Chun Palace, Xiangrong laid on her bed for one day and one night, and it was only morning of the day after that did she have energy to sit up.

For Yu Qianyin, she did not give Xiao Bao, a child, a hard time, but she did not treat Xiangrong that well, because Xiangrong was her love rival, even if Yu Qianyin entered Chun Palace, she still instructed her subordinates to make Xiangrong suffer more.

Those people did not do anything much, only not giving Xiangrong food to eat, at most allowing her to drink a mouthful of water, and not allowing her to bathe, causing her to become dishevelled. But Xiangrong though, this is considered good, at least no one displayed any brutish behaviour and violated her, else, she really did not need to live anymore. Even if she was rescued like this, to go missing for these few days, this was a really terrible problem for a woman’s reputation.

Servants entered the house to serve her. For her body, when she was unconscious, the servants had already cleaned her up, giving her a bath and changing her clothes. Feng Yuheng also injected her with some nutrition injections and she recovered rather well. After the servants entered, they held out a towel and wiped her face, speaking as they wiped: “Third Miss must be hungry, not eating for a few days, if not for Princess Yu saying that after being injected with those kind of injections, there will be no problems even if you did not eat, His Highness the Seventh Prince would have been so worried!”

Once Xiangrong heard the words “His Highness the Seventh Prince”, her heart was frantic, immediately thinking of the effect of the discussions outside during the days she was missing, so she quickly asked this maid: “The matter of my disappearance, was it known by many people outside?”

Without waiting for the maid to answer, a warm and elegant voice was heard from the door, talking to her with a extremely healing tone: “So what if a lot of people know? So what if very little people know?”
