Chapter 1131

　　The Real Feng Yuheng

　　This was not the first or second time her Madam asked about Feng Yuheng, this maid was already used to it, only answering calmly: “It is not known yet, the General only said she will definitely come back, but it is not known exactly when. Madam, why…… are you always asking about her?”

　　The young Madam glanced at the maid and with a cold scoff: “It’s nothing, you do not need to think too much, it’s just that because that person is one of our main enemies, I was just more bothered about it. You should know, if she returns to the capital alone, this means that Ninth Prince is heading to the eastern border to attack Zong Sui, Zong Sui is our home, my father still needs to go to the battlefield, how can I not show some concern.”

　　The maid nodded, “Do not worry Madam, the old General is extraordinarily brave, he would definitely obtain victory.”

　　“Un.” The young Madam replied and waved her hand carelessly, “You can leave! I will not go out today, I’m tired and want to rest.”

　　Once the maid heard that she did not want to go out, she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly serving her to lie down and leave the room. It was just that after the maid left, the young Madam in the room opened her eyes which were closed, the expression of irritation appearing on her face.

　　What obtain victory or not, she did not care if Zong Sui could win this battle or not, and even that old General was not within her field of concern. It was just that there was some conflict in her heart, if she could choose, she would wish for Da Shun to win this battle, but her current identity now was the first daughter of Zong Sui’s old General. If Da Shun won, this meant that the other home which she obtained with much difficulty would be destroyed, she…… would lose a home again.

　　The young Madam’s head hurt, she sat up from the bed, hugging her knees with a pained and bitter expression.

　　Who exactly was she? What kind of person was she considered as? There was a spirit living inside, and it was supporting this foreign body, what was this considered? A ghost?

　　She still remembered the events of many years ago, she was sent to a mountain village in the northwest by the Feng family together with her mother and younger brother, with their days worse than the pigs raised by wealthy families. Her younger brother was still young, her mother had never done any house chores in the past. With no other choice, she learned how to start a fire and cook rice, and also learned to sew and mend clothes, and she depended even more on the medical skills which she learned from her grandfather when she was young to discern the food which could be eaten in the mountains, there was one time she tried a type of mushroom and almost poisoned herself to death.

　　She had thought that the days would continue being hard just like this, and she was already almost used to it, the good clothes and food of the Feng manor in the past were gradually fading away, making her think at one point that she was originally a child from a poor family in Xi Ping village. The days would not get any better, but it would not get any worse. At most, the rain would leak in on rainy days, and the snow would leak in on snowing days.

　　But unexpectedly, she was harmed by bandits when she went up the mountain that time, the lovely face she had in the past was still targeted by someone in the end, to the point that she actually died in the mountains without knowing about anything.

　　That death…… she felt very fearful once she thought of that incident, even though many years had passed, it was able to make her shiver when she thought about it again.

　　“Something like using a corpse to resurrect a dead soul really exists in this world.” She mumbled, the scenes from that time appearing in front of her eyes. She remembered that the person who invaded and occupied her body had said that she would take revenge for her, and she even said thank you to that person. But in a blink of an eye, she actually also borrowed another body, “resurrecting from the dead”, it was just that her identity changed, and she resurrected as the first daughter of the old General’s family of Chunyu in the country of Zong Sui, Chunyu Ling.

　　That’s right, Chunyu Ling, she was the real Feng Yuheng, the original owner of that body, the true second daughter of the Feng family.

　　But what was the significance of this past identity? In the end, she could only be Chunyu Ling and was no longer that familiar Feng Yuheng.

　　In the bedroom, Chenyu Ling thought about the secret in her heart, and at this time, her maid Tian Ping was standing in front of Bu Cong, very seriously telling Bu Cong about all the recent developments. That day, Tian Ping knew how to embellish things, not only did she describe the recent whereabouts of Chunyu Ling, she even had her own thoughts on it. She told Bu Cong: “Logically, This Servant should not doubt Madam since she is the first daughter of the old General’s family, the old General is most loyal to the imperial court, the first daughter in his family is definitely a loyal person. But the actions of Madam recently are really too strange, it’s fine if she went to loiter around Yao manor every day, but she also said some strange words, and sometimes, This Servants feels that she is intentionally waiting for someone to come out of Yao manor, no matter which person it was, as long as they could speak a little, Madam would look very happy. General, don’t you think it is strange?”

　　Bu Cong listened very carefully. With regards to every action of his wife, he was very interested to understand it. For this kind of state, from the viewpoint of outsiders in the past, this was the love between husband and wife, especially that old General Chunyu, when he saw that Bu Cong was that concerned about his prized daughter, he was very satisfied. But only this maid who had been a bed partner to Bu Cong knew, the attention this small General had for her Madam was not simply care and concern, there was another kind of emotion inside.

　　“General.” Tian Ping spoke, her body moving closer towards Bu Cong on reflex, her voice also turned gentler, “General, what do you think, is This Servant’s analysis reasonable or not?”

　　Bu Cong looked at this girl, and he could not help but smile coldly, reaching out a hand, appearing to touch the front of her body, but when he touched the corner of her sleeve, he immediately exerted some force, actually pushing her away, saying coldly: “This General had already made a vow in front of old General Chunyu, not taking in a concubine in my life, no longer involving myself with other women. Leaving you here to serve the Madam now was on the basis that you had taken care of This General before, you should have more awareness and not do anything unnecessary again.”

　　Tian Ping was pushed by him and almost fell over, but chills also grew in her heart, she quickly knelt down and pleaded: “This Servant knows it was wrong, General, please calm down, This Servant will not do this again.”

　　Bu Cong waved his hand in dismissal, “That’s enough, you can leave! Take care of the Madam properly.”

　　Tian Ping leaving did not cause Bu Cong to pull himself away from the events of just now, he remembered his encounter with Chunyu Ling, even when he thought about that event now, he felt that it was a little mysterious.

　　That year, he received help from Yu Qianyin, escaping from Da Shun’s capital, heading straight to Zong Sui at the eastern border to hide himself. Receiving a recommendation from Yu Qianyin, he entered General Chunyu’s manor, becoming a low-ranking guard. At that time, it was not that peaceful in General Chunyu’s manor, the reason was that the old General Chunyu An’s first daughter, Chunyu Ling, whom he loved and pampered a lot, got into an accident and fell off her horse when she left the city to go horse riding. Her life hung on by a thread and she even stopped breathing at one point. After that, it was unknown what happened, and she started to breathe again. She had woken up, but her mental state was abnormal and she had gone crazy, she did not think she was the First Miss of General Chunyu’s manor, and did not even think she was a Zong Sui citizen, saying that she wanted to return to Da Shun, saying that was her home. She even said that her mother was still suffering at a place known as Xi Ping village, begging people in the manor to save her.

　　At that time, the Chunyu family did not know what to do and asked a lot of physicians to come over to examine the First Miss, but every physician left while shaking their heads. Some people said, this First Miss had been lived in by a demon, it was not an illness, it was a possession. But the old General Chunyu was a military general and did not believe in the occult. He felt it was possibly a mental illness, it was likely that his daughter had some strange dream when his daughter fell off the horse and was unconscious, to the point that it looked like she was awake, but in reality, she was still in the dream.

　　Therefore, he secretly sent people to infiltrate Da Shun, searching the northwest area for a long time, but he did not hear about any mother and children who ended up there with no one else to depend on.

　　The people of the Chunyu family did not know, at that time, Yao Shi and the children had already been taken back by the people of the Feng family, and in order to stop people from talking about it, the Feng family also secretly sent people to seal the mouths of the villagers in Xi Ping village.

　　He heard that the First Miss Chunyu Ling had been acting strange since that year, occasionally saying strange things and not being close to anyone, not even cultivating a close relationship with her father who loved her the most in the past. She acted just like an outsider, only taking up residence in General Chunyu’s manor, being unfamiliar with everything in this manor.

　　Old General Chunyu became very anxious because of his daughter’s illness and aged quickly, even giving up a small portion of his military authority so he could have more time to stay home and accompany his daughter.

　　For these matters, Bu Cong heard the servants talking about it after entering the manor. At the beginning, he did not take it to heart, only thinking it was a Young Miss who got a huge shock after falling off a horse, thus having an abnormal mental state. But when he heard that Young Miss clearly say that her mother and younger brother were still at Xi Ping village, it was as if something had plucked at a string at the bottom of his heart such that his emotions could not settle down easily.

　　After that, he would willingly, unwilling and intentionally hear some information about this First Miss’ situation every day, but what he heard the most frequently was that the Young Miss would close her doors and not come out, not acting close with anyone. Until one day, the First Miss went crazy again, running out from the courtyard. He was on duty at that time and that First Miss knocked into him, and when they collided, the other party even shouted: “Let go of me! Let me leave, I am going home, I am going to find my mother and younger brother!”

　　As she was shouting, she looked up, her gaze meeting Bu Cong’s, then this person who was acting crazy suddenly quietened down. After half a beat, she actually pointed at Bu Cong and said: “You…… I seem to recognise you.”

　　From that day, this First Miss who went crazy until no one was willing to pay attention to her stuck to Bu Cong. As long as Bu Cong was around, she would quieten down, she would speak to Bu Cong and would ask Bu Cong many questions.

　　Until today, Bu Cong still remembered that the first question Chunyu Ling asked him was actually: Da Shun’s Left Prime Minister Feng Jinyuan, did he take back his wife, one son and one daughter who he had sent to the northwest?

　　Bu Cong did not understand this then, unable to think of why a Young Miss who lived deep in the protection of a General’s manor in Zong Sui would ask about Da Shun. But this was a General’s manor, he thought, it was possible that old General Chunyu normally talked about the national affairs of Da Shun and were heard by this daughter. So he played along and really talked to Chunyu Ling about the matters of Da Shun, from Feng Jinyuan taking back the Yao Shi mother and children, talking about how Feng Yuheng almost burnt to death once, then talked about Feng Yuheng being a divine doctor, helping society and saving people, being appointed as a county mistress, then appointed as a county princess.

　　With regards to the story of the Feng family, Bu Cong started to the beginning which he knew about, then talked about what he heard about later, and a few years passed just talking about this.

　　During this period, old General Chunyu saw that his daughter had calmed down after so much effort and was this attached to Bu Cong, therefore he made a decision, promising his daughter to Bu Cong as his wife, and made a referral to the Zong Sui ruler, obtaining the position of General for Bu Cong.

　　Bu Cong planted his roots in Zong Sui with this and became the son-in-law of the Chunyu family. Old General Chunyu made him swear not to take in concubines in his life and not touch other women, only wholeheartedly treating Chunyu Ling well. Bu Cong agreed to everything!

　　Actually to Bu Cong, taking in concubines or not was a small matter. What he was bothered by was Chunyu Ling who he felt was becoming more and more strange……
