Volume 2 ◆ Flourishing Talent VS Overlooking the World ◆ Episode 35 Snowflakes
After changing into a dry set of clothes, Feng Mei Xue walked into the quiet and peaceful bedroom, where she saw that Leng Qing Huan was sleeping with a serene expression on her face. The corners of her lips were slightly curved upwards. A soft and gentle glow floated onto her absolutely beautiful face. There wasn't a hint of coldness, only an inexplicable tranquility.
Now, Leng Qinghuan is her only relative in this world and the person she cherishes the most. As for that heartless father of hers, she doesn't even consider him a family member. She wants to help her mother recover her health so that she won't suffer from illness again!
Her mother loved her extremely and she had always felt it. If it weren't for her poor health, she wouldn't have allowed others to bully her beloved daughter.
"Mom, you'll definitely get better! You definitely will!"
Feng Mei Xue walked forward, sat down beside the bed, stretched out her hand to tuck in the corner of Leng Qing Huan's quilt, and gazed quietly at her pale and thin face with a hint of heartache.
Qingwei and Liu Li withdrew quietly after seeing Feng Mi Xue, leaving the space for them.
Time slowly flows, the golden light of sunset, from outside the window, shines in, rendering the room a brilliant hue.
"It's time for the lady to take her medicine!"
The stream pear end is wearing a hot and steaming medicine, walking to the bedside and opening his mouth. Taking out the special silver needle for testing poison, he tested the medicinal soup, only then putting it on the case table.
"Alright, give it to me!"
Feng Mei Xue handed over the medicine bowl, holding a spoon in one hand, feeding Leng Qinghuan to take the medicine.
Leng Qinghuan didn't know when she woke up, leaning against the headboard, her eyes deeply fixed on her daughter. Seeing her daughter carefully feeding her medicine, she felt an unspeakable bittersweet feeling in her chest, heart aching for her daughter's suffering, yet joyful at her daughter's filial piety.
My daughter has done so much for me and endured so much, how can I continue like this!
She must become her daughter's strongest backing, and never let her daughter be bullied again!
Even if the cost is never seeing that person again, she won't hesitate. With the personalities of her two older brothers, if they knew about Mei Xue's existence, they would definitely not sit idly by.
"Mom, take good rest!"
Feng Mei Xue didn't know what was on Leng Qing's mind, so she used a handkerchief to wipe away the medicinal liquid from her lips, and only then did she leave the bedroom.
Leng Qing smiled warmly as she gazed at her daughter's back, feeling content with the girl by her side. What more could she ask for?
"I'm going out for a trip. Qingyi and Liu Li will stay behind to take care of the madam, while Shangcao and Xueqiang will come with me!"
Feng Mei Xue reminded her with a soft voice, then left the Feng Mansion with ease. Qing Cao and Xue Jing's movements were not bad, they followed closely behind her without haste or delay.
The two of them often went out and about, and as for going out of the house, they didn't feel too excited, but rather felt honored that Miss had brought them along.
"Miss, where are you going?"
After leaving the Feng Mansion, the three of them walked on the streets as the dusk deepened. Asakusa walked to the left of Feng Muxue and asked with a tilted head in confusion.
"Find a store!"
Feng Mei Xue said succinctly, she knew that no matter where, without money, it would be difficult to take a step forward, and even warmth and food would become a problem. So she had to start her own business, and what's more, she wanted to open a profitable store, which could develop in the shortest time.
Every inch of land in the Imperial City is worth its weight in gold, and the shop contracts in the central area are even more frighteningly expensive.
Feng Mei Xue walked along the snowy edge, sizing up these shops, wanting to find a suitable one.
"Miss is going to open a store! It's best to open it in the bustling central area!"
Xue Qing walked on the right side of Feng Mei Xue, subconsciously protecting her and not letting anyone get close to her.
"Let's go take a look and see which shops are going out of business!"
The three of them looked at several shops that were for sale, but none of them were satisfactory. In the densely populated city where every inch of land was precious, it was really difficult to buy a shop with a good location and large area.
The night wind blew against her face, lifting the long hem of Fengyi's dress. When they left the mansion, Xueqian had carefully put a veil on her, so although the passersby would give them some admiring glances, it didn't cause too much commotion.
A string of colorful lanterns hung high up, casting a warm and cozy glow over the three of them.
Pedestrians flow like water, shuttling back and forth. The prosperous metropolis is bustling even at night.
"Tap tap tap——"
A sudden clatter of hooves, accompanied by the sound of iron chains, came from the end of the street and reached Feng Yuxue's ears.
"Imperial Guards, clear the way!"
A team of iron-clad guards, pulling a prisoner's cart, came galloping swiftly. On the high-headed and large horse at the front, a man with a gloomy face was waving his whip, riding at the forefront and charging into the crowd.
"Everyone get out of the way!"
"That is the Second Prince who holds the Imperial Guard!"
"Don't mess with the Second Prince, or you'll definitely get more than you bargained for!"
"The Second Prince is hot-tempered and unpredictable, don't let him take a liking to you!"
"The Second Prince is the Moon King's own elder brother, but their personalities are vastly different!"
“……”
When the crowd heard the name of the Second Prince, they scattered in all directions like birds and beasts, retreating with a whooshing sound like the ebbing tide.
Feng Mian Xue and the other two were left standing alone in the middle of the street, directly facing the imperial guard army that was approaching with a fierce momentum, without any intention of dodging. It wasn't that Feng Mian Xue couldn't let them pass, if they had asked politely and she was in a good mood, she would have been willing to give way.
However, the second prince's high and mighty attitude ignited a nameless fire in her heart. Perhaps she disliked Mo Longge too much, and by extension, also disliked his biological brother.
Seeing that the person in front had not left, Er Wangye Mo Shu Cheng also did not intend to stop, and as both sides were about to clash, Qian Cao and Xue Zhang both placed their hands on their waists.
A clear and crisp sound of the palace bell rang out, a white dress, pure and spotless, slowly fell from the vast moonlight, like snowflakes dancing in the air.
This figure landed right in front of Feng Yuxue, and with a wave of his long sleeve, he blocked the imperial guard who was charging forward.
