Chapter 24: If you bully me, Ill get you to abstain from food

  She curled up on the bed, her arms wrapped around her knees, and went over every detail of that night in the mountains when she met the purple lotus man again, reconfirming that his legs were healed before she left. Not only did they heal, but she also took anti-inflammatory medication and watched him take it herself.

  Feng Yu Huan somewhat regretted it, blaming herself for being too caught up in the shocking changes happening to her when she first arrived in this world, and neglecting many things that she should have paid attention to.

  That man was seriously injured and hiding in the mountains, obviously being pursued by an enemy. And he only brought one servant with him, now it's extremely dangerous no matter how you think about it. But she happened to be after taking care of his leg, let go and didn't take care of him anymore, and also took away the only twenty taels of silver on his body.

  "Damn it!" She cursed unconsciously, but then calmed down immediately.

  Why not leave? What reason and standpoint is there to stay? Moreover, even if she stayed, what help could she be when facing the avenging family that was chasing after them? Was she supposed to bring that person into the medicine room space together with her?

  Feng Yu's hair was disheveled, but she couldn't be treated as a monster. In this era, once a creature was identified as a monster, it would either be burned to death or drowned in a pig cage.

  The more I think about it, the more annoyed I become. I might as well enter the space and start searching from floor to floor.

  Her leg was broken and her face disfigured. She searched for more than half a day but couldn't find any medicine that could cure both injuries.

  Defeated, she sat down on the ground, and even though the space had been maintained at a constant temperature, she could still feel waves of coldness.

  Feng Yu Heng still remembered the man's disheveled yet dignified appearance, and she also still remembered her own foolish expression when she first saw his face.

  But now there is definite news telling her that man's face was ruined!

  No wonder those at the gate of the capital saw him wearing a mask, no wonder it was a triumphant army but not a hint of joy.

  Although they won the battle, the commander was seriously injured and his son was incompetent.

  What kind of life is this for a man!

  Feng Yu Huan felt that this son of a bitch world was once again challenging her patience, the man she liked was ruined just like that without any explanation, and she didn't even know who her enemy was.

  Take advantage of her unfamiliarity with life? Take advantage of her becoming a twelve-year-old child?

  Nothing will happen, strangers who have been waiting for a long time will eventually become familiar, and she will grow up one day.

  Whoever destroys her things will have to pay the price.

  A sleepless night, didn't return to bed until the sky turned white and then dozed off for a bit.

  In the morning, Feng Yu Heng was woken up by Xie Fu. The little guy ran to her bedside, calling out "Sister, sister, get up quickly" while continuously scratching her neck.

  Feng Yu Huan sat up straight, gazing dazedly at the child for a moment before suddenly coming to.

  "Come." She reached out and pulled Zi Rui closer, "Take off this outfit, we won't wear it."

  She won't forget that sandpapery skirt of hers which made her clothes so different, how could she possibly give good ones to Yao Shi and Zi Rui.

  Soon, Sun Auntie also came in, followed by Manxi carrying a wooden basin.

  "Miss, there's a problem with the madam's clothes." Sun Auntie walked forward and whispered to Feng Yuexiang: "The fabric of that dress is good, but I don't know what happened. It was only worn for a short while before it faded and dyed the madam's skin entirely."

  "Is Second Young Master's complexion also...?"

  Feng Yu shook her head, "The color is not bad." She picked up the clothes and examined them carefully for a while, then turned up the collar to show it to Sun Mama, "Mama, look here."

  Sun Auntie leaned forward and only then discovered that Zi Rui's collar was hiding countless tiny needle tips.

  "Miss! This must be reported to the master!" Sun's nurse exclaimed, "It must be reported to the master, someone wants to harm the second young master, this is not a small matter."

  Feng Yu sneered and shrugged his shoulders, "What's there to report? It was probably him who did it."

  "Second Miss!" Old Lady Sun raised her index finger to her lips, making a silencing gesture, and pointed to Manxi who was still in the house.

  "Feng Yu said nonchalantly, 'It's nothing.' Then she instructed Sun Mama, 'Still have Zi Rui and Mother change into yesterday's clothes, wear them for another day, and send that stained garment over to me. Later, I'll go take a stroll around the manor.'"

  "Ah!" exclaimed Sun-ma, "Where is Second Miss going? According to the rules, this morning she should be going to pay her respects to Old Madam."

  "Rules?" Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow, "The Feng manor doesn't even care about its own dignity, and yet it's talking about rules? Fine, then I'll go meet with the old lady."

  Today's breakfast was made by Grandma Sun because Feng Yu Heng got up late.

  It doesn't matter whether it's early or late, she can't come up with too many tricks. After all, the ingredients are limited, and you can't conjure up things that don't exist out of thin air. She just handed a small handful of dried dates that she had taken out from the medicine room in advance to Sun Shangshu, still saying that they were bought on the road, and Sun Shangshu didn't ask much, after all, it was Feng Yu Heng who had been holding the silver and buying food and other things along the way. She took the things and left with Feng Zi Rui.

  After they left, Man Xi came to the bedside with some difficulty and asked her in a low voice: "Second Miss, do you want to wear that skirt from last night?"

  "Feng Yu shook her head, 'Isn't it that package of clothes sent by Fen Dai? Just pick one out for me to wear. You pack up that linen skirt for me, I'll take it with me later.' She said as she glanced at the clothes Zi Rui had just taken off, thought for a moment, 'Man Xi, you have to help me put on an act.'"

  Man Xi nodded obediently: "Everything will be done according to Second Miss's instructions."

  Before long, Sun Ayi brought breakfast into the room and took a look at Manxi still inside. She said discontentedly: "Miss Manxi, you don't need to serve here anymore. I think Li Ayi and Bao Tang are about to go downstairs to eat. Why don't you go with them?"

  Manxi didn't answer, but Feng Yuexian reacted first: "Who allowed them to go to the kitchen to eat!"

  As she spoke, she got up and went out of the house. Sure enough, Li Niang and Bao Tang were waiting for Man Xi in the courtyard.

  Seeing the two of them come out, Li Mama hurried over to greet them: "Greetings, Second Miss! I saw that Sun Mama had already prepared breakfast in the small kitchen, so I took Man Xi and Bao Tang to the big kitchen to eat with the other servants."

  Man Xi was very clever and knew how to conceal her changed identity in front of Li Niangniang and Bao Tang. Hearing what Li Niangniang said, she quickly took a few steps forward, then pretended to be not very respectful to Feng Yuexiang, just slightly bowing her head and saying in a stiff tone: "That slave will go with Li Niangniang together."

  "Wait." She raised the corners of her lips in a stiff smile, "Although I've only been back at the manor for one day, thanks to Aunt Li and the two young ladies' careful instruction, I more or less understand some of the rules. If even a concubine who has borne children for the Feng family can only survive on leftover scraps from the kitchen, what about the servants? Aunt Li was lent to Ah Huang by Mother, how could Ah Huang bear to let Aunt Li eat the servants' food, let's have her dine with us instead."

  After finishing speaking, she didn't even look at the other person's reaction and directly turned around to walk into the house. As she walked, she instructed: "Sun Auntie, send some plain porridge and small dishes to Sun Auntie and the two young ladies as well. If it's not enough to eat, then take half from my and Yao Mother's portions. Although our porridge is thin, I'm sure it's still better than the servants' food. Since they've entered our Liu Garden, I, as their master, cannot let my own slaves suffer. From now on, no one is allowed to go to the public kitchen to eat."

  She said that Sun Shangxiang could not help but understand, this is to deliberately scoop some soup from the two masters' food, and as long as these three people are in Liu Yuan for a day, they can only eat and live in Liu Yuan.

  Mrs. Li and the two maidservants looked gloomy, with endless curses rising in their hearts. But after all, there is a distinction between masters and servants, and while they could do some behind-the-scenes maneuvering, on the surface they still had to make it sound plausible.

  Madam Sun brought the thin porridge and small dishes to the wing room, and she also stayed behind to eat with them. But what was different was that she had already eaten a full meal under Feng Yu Heng's instructions beforehand, so now she was just going through the motions, accompanying the three of them as they drank some rice water that didn't even have any grains in it. At the same time, she couldn't help but take pleasure in the bitter melon faces of the three people, and Madam Sun felt that these past few years had never been so enjoyable.

  Finally finishing the meal, Bao Tang let out a sigh of relief, as if he had just finished fighting a battle. He patted his bulging belly and was about to complain when he saw their second miss carrying a skirt and walking step by step towards the wing room.

  She poked her head in, whispering: "I don't know what the second young lady is up to this time."

  Man Xi pretended to be confused: "Who knows, won't we be doing some hard work again?" In fact, she was clear in her heart that the second young lady had told her before to accompany her in a play, and it was probably about to start.

  While speaking, Feng Yuexiang had already entered the inner chamber, and a group of servants quickly stood up.

  Mrs. Li saw the skirt in her hand at a glance, and she started to panic inexplicably. She had some regrets, as Second Miss's temperament was completely different from what Madam had previously told her. If she had known this earlier, she should have observed for a while before deciding how to deal with her.

  Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. Feng Yu Heng had an inexplicable smile on her face as she looked at Man Xi: "Later, we'll go pay our respects to Grandmother, so let's have Man Xi accompany me. This is the clothing that my aunt sent over yesterday, hurry up and change into it. My aunt's clothes are naturally more dignified than those of a servant, don't let the people in the manor look down on us at the Liu Garden."

  The slave girl cried and pleaded for herself, making a last-ditch effort: "It's not proper for a slave like me to wear the master's clothes."

  She said, casting her eyes on Li Mama, hoping the other would say a word. Since Second Miss wanted to put on an act, then she had to cooperate and play along thoroughly.

  Madam Li spoke up as expected: "Second Miss, this won't do. Madam Yao is the mistress, how can a servant wear her clothes? Moreover, you're going to pay respects to Old Lady, if she finds out, it's a serious offense."

  "It's not proper to wear stolen things, what the master gives is just a show of respect." Feng Yuexiang didn't buy into her nonsense at all, speaking reasonably and refusing, "I'm a poor master, I don't have the ability to give good things to my servants, so I can only borrow from others. Unfortunately, this set is too small for me, otherwise I would also give it to my precious sister."

  Bao Tang hastily waved his hand: "I don't dare take Second Miss's things, it's better for Second Miss to keep them herself."

  She nodded, "En, but good things can't be enjoyed alone, I have to think carefully about who to give it to." She said and turned around to leave the house, while walking she threw back a sentence: "Man Xi also hurry up and change your clothes, I'm in a rush to go pay respects to grandmother."
