Chapter 108: Losing as a Human, Winning as a Ghost?

  Feng Yu Huan came to the Golden Jade Courtyard specifically to watch Shen's family sneak in at night to deliver medicine, how could she ignore the commotion by the window.

  She saw her body quickly spinning, slipping around the remaining five people in the yard for half a circle, then her fingers swiftly flipped and popped, several silver needles flew out of her hand, and two more black-clad men fell to the ground.

  These killers were all bewildered and couldn't figure out what hidden weapons Feng Yuexia had thrown, yet they couldn't even see clearly and just fell down as soon as they touched the edge.

  For a while, several people didn't dare get close to her again.

  At this time, Ban walked out of the shadows and floated over like a ghost, his twin blades flashing in the light, and in the blink of an eye, he had taken down the three people who still had the ability to move.

  Feng Yu patted the shoulder of Pa Pa Ban, "Let's go inside and take a look. Be careful when fighting, grab the medicine back for me, and we can sell it again tomorrow for 2,500 taels."

  Ban Zou's mouth twitched, that day his master cheated Shen Wanliang of more than 2,000 taels of silver! Those medicinal pills were expensive, but he knew how much they cost at the Baicao Hall, just ten taels per pill. But here, the price was increased a thousandfold. And after people bought them, they weren't even allowed to give them to the patient, they had to be snatched back and resold...

  In the dead of night, the two had already entered Shen's bedroom. Shen was crippled by Feng Jin Yuan's dark guard and lay on the bed like a dying ghost, gasping for breath. Feng Yu Heng looked at her and thought that with such severe injuries, she would be lucky to last another two or three days. A few pills wouldn't be enough to cure her. It seemed that the Shen family had also run out of options and was desperately seeking any possible treatment.

  The people in the house did not expect that the six killers would not only fail to eliminate the person outside, but also expose their own whereabouts, and they couldn't help but rush out. Several times, they tried to get close to Shen Shi but failed, including one time when they reached the bedside, with the medicine already in hand, ready to stuff it into Shen Shi's mouth, but were pulled back by Ban Zou again.

  He neither hit him nor stopped him, but pulled him back and then let go. When the man came forward again, he pulled him once more. This went on for ten times.

  The Shen family on the bed had given up all hope, at first they still held onto hope and cooperated by opening their mouths, but after a few times they were already hopeless. Only when Ban walked in for the last time and pulled that person back did she use her last bit of strength to say hoarsely: "Don't bother about me, hurry and leave!"

  That person covered his face, only revealing a pair of eyes. Upon hearing this, the corners of his eyes instantly turned red. He wanted to turn around and follow Ban Zhou and Feng Yuexia to fight to the death, but he also knew in his heart that he was no match for them.

  Helpless, he took another look at Shen's body on the bed, gritted his teeth and jumped out of the window to run away.

  Feng Yu ignored Shen's concern and hastily asked Ban Zhou: "Have all the medicine balls been retrieved?"

  Ban Zou handed a small porcelain bottle to Feng Yu Huang: "Is this it? That person was still pinching one, so disgusting, I guess we can't have it."

  Feng Yu nodded slightly, "Let's just say I lost 500 taels."

  The class is in chaos.

  She finally shifted her attention to Shen's side, only to see that the person on the bed had been tortured beyond recognition. It was unclear how Feng Jin Yuan had beaten her, but it seemed like she had been starved, with sunken cheekbones and eyes that had also sunk in, resembling a European-style eye job from the 21st century.

  Shen's head also tilted towards Feng Yuexia, her eyes like a dagger tempered in poison, cruelly wanting to scrape off her skin and flesh.

  "You—" Shen shouted with all her might, cursing Feng Yuexiang: "One day, you will suffer the consequences. Feng Yuexiang, even as a ghost I won't let you off!"

  She smiled, and this smile was like a flower blooming in hell, beautiful to the extreme, yet also signifying death.

  "You've already lost this battle as a human being, what makes you think you can win just because you're a ghost?"

  It was as if Shen suddenly realized something and his entire demeanor instantly became dispirited.

  Yes, as a human being she has already lost this battle, what makes her think that becoming a ghost will make her win?

  When I came out of the room, the killers in the yard had been cleaned up, except for the bloody smell lingering in the air, there was no sign of a fight.

  Feng Yu Huan smiled and looked up at the air, saying: "Father's subordinates are indeed efficient and thorough in their work."

  In secret, Feng Jin Yuan's dark guard almost got his nose crooked. You only said you had a habit of hitting, saying to go into the house and going in, leaving a floor of corpses and half-dead unconscious people, we kindly helped you clean up, but didn't even say thank you.

  Feng Yu ignored them and took Ban back to Tong Sheng Pavilion.

  She officially revealed her skills in front of Feng Jin Yuan's dark guard today, not for anything else, but to remind her father that from now on, no matter what she says or does, she will consider three times more, and don't think that the people born with Xuan are soft persimmons that can be taken care of at will. In the past three years in the northwest, Feng Yuexian was no longer the original Feng Yuexian.

  Just half a moment after Feng Yu Heng left the Golden Jade Courtyard, one of the dark guards who had participated in the previous assassination attempt stepped forward and told Feng Jin Yuan everything that had happened.

  Feng Jin Yuan fell silent for a while, and didn't ask about the Shen family or the Shens, but instead asked the dark guard: "In your opinion, how is Second Miss's kung fu?"

  He thought for a moment and came up with a word: "Bizarre".

  "Huh?" Feng Jin Yuan was puzzled, "What's with the mysterious talk?"

  An Wei said, "The moves are strange and unique, without deep internal power to match, yet they complement a special hidden weapon perfectly. I've been practicing martial arts for over twenty years and have never seen this style before, nor do I know which school or sect it belongs to."

  Feng Jin Yuan thought for a moment, muttering to himself: "She always said that she met a Persian sage in the great mountains of the northwest, who taught her better methods of medicine and made her medical skills even more advanced. If you call her martial arts strange, it seems that it can only be explained as being passed down by that sage along with her."

  An Wei did not participate in this topic, Feng Yu's kung fu was a mystery in his heart, waiting to be solved.

  The next day, Feng Yuexian took the initiative to go to Ruyi Courtyard and brought two small packages of medicinal pills and more than 20 packets of oral liquid, all of which were traditional Chinese medicine for gynecology, used in conjunction with postpartum recovery.

  She arrived when Jin Zhen was lying on the bed, resting and thinking about something, with one hand covering her lower abdomen and her eyes not focusing on anything. She had walked into the room before Jin Zhen even realized someone had entered.

  Xiao Yatou reminded her: "The second young lady has arrived."

  Jin Zhen finally came back to his senses and turned his head to see Feng Yu Heng, instantly relaxing.

  Feng Yu Huan waved her hand, letting the maid who was attending to Jin Zhen go down. She brought Wang Chuan to Jin Zhen's bedside and, without saying much, lifted her wrist and took her pulse.

  "It's okay." Feng Yu Heng put down Jin Zhen's wrist, "The body has recovered quite well, but the medicine for miscarriage can easily leave residues in the body, and these residues will cause a lifelong illness for you."

  Jin Zhen nodded, "Always sees blood."

  "Yes." Feng Yu Heng put the medicine she was holding next to her pillow, "I brought you some medicine. How to take it is written on the paper, you can look at it yourself later. After taking that one dose of medicine, for about three days, the amount of bleeding will be similar to your menstrual cycle. Three days later, it will gradually decrease and should be completely clean in about seven days. I'll come back to check on you after you've finished taking all the medicine. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be fine."

  "Then can I still get pregnant in the future?" This is what Jin Zhen worries about most.

  Feng Yu Hong didn't try to scare her, and honestly said: "It's possible. I told you last time, after half a year, it's possible to get pregnant again, I wasn't coaxing you."

  Jin Zhen finally put his mind at ease, stood up and was about to kowtow to Feng Yuexiang, but was stopped by her. Jin Zhen was not giving up, sincerely saying: "Today's good fortune is all thanks to Second Miss, now Second Miss not only helped me in my time of need, but also gave me such great kindness, it's only right for Jin Zhen to kowtow to Second Miss."

  "Feng Yu Huan helplessly said: 'What's the use of you kowtowing a few times?'"

  Jin Zhen reacted: "What does Second Miss want me to do? As long as Second Miss says it, I will definitely do it."

  Feng Yu Huan thought for a moment and indeed had something to discuss with her, so she said: "This matter is about Aunt Yao and my father."

  Jin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood and quickly expressed his attitude: "Second Miss, don't worry, I will always stop Master from going elsewhere, but as for Tong Shengxuan's side, I definitely won't stop him. I guarantee to create opportunities for Madam Yao, letting Master go there more often."

  Feng Yu stroked his forehead, "You've got it all wrong."

  "What's wrong?" Jin Zhen was puzzled.

  "Feng Yu Huan continued: 'It's not just about letting you push Father towards Aunt Yao, but also about having you keep a closer eye on him. Once Father wants to go to Tong Sheng Xuan, no matter what methods you use, you must bring him back to Ruyi Yuan.'"

  "What... why?" Jin Zhen couldn't understand at all. Whether it was a concubine or the main wife, getting favored by the master was the most proper thing to do!

  "Because my mother doesn't want to serve him." She said bluntly, "She has been in the northwest for a long time and doesn't want to participate in the competition for favor among the wives and concubines of the mansion. Moreover, she has sons and daughters, what's the point of competing again? In short, remember my words today, after a while I'll help you arrange a capable maid by your side, so that you can discuss things with someone when something happens."

  Jin Zhen nodded in agreement. While she might not be good at other things, she thought she was quite capable of handling Feng Yuanchen's affairs and wouldn't disappoint him. Thinking that Feng Yuanchen would arrange a reliable maid for her made her even happier. "To be honest with you, Second Miss, I really do need a reliable servant," she said, thinking of Manxi who served at the Shen residence, and asked in a lowered voice, "Is Manxi one of your people?"

  Feng Yu nodded slightly. That day, she had told Man Xi to cooperate with Jin Zhen, and now that Jin Zhen was asking, it didn't seem strange at all.

  "Shen's time is almost up, I heard the old master's secret guard beat her so badly that her internal organs are all out of place. I reckon she'll be gone in a day or two, and once she's gone, Man Xi will have nothing to do either. Why don't you let Man Xi come over to my side? We grew up together, after all, and we're closer than outsiders."

  She said that reminded Feng Yuexian, yes, after Shen's death, Manxi would have to be arranged elsewhere, and sending her to Jinzhen was the most suitable.

  She nodded in agreement and was about to say a couple more words when she heard the little maid outside the door say, "Auntie Jinzhen, Fourth Miss has come to see you!"
