Chapter 415: Chapter 415, Those Little Thoughts
Lady Feng thought about it and brought up other matters, but eventually, she still circled back to talking about Miss Yun of the Yun Family.
Although Lady Feng was old and her health not the best, which meant she preferred not to manage affairs, she was educated, literate, and quite capable; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to raise a good son like Feng Wushuang.
"The one I’m closest to in my family is my fourth sister, but she’s not in the Capital City at the moment. When she returns, I will definitely take her to visit Lady Feng at the Feng Residence. My fourth sister loves the pastries from Xufuji the most!"
"Very well, when the time comes, I will have someone buy whatever fine pastries Xufuji has to bring back home!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Wushuang’s hands trembled slightly.
Finally, he would be able to see her, to have the chance to meet her—just as long as she returned, he could meet her through the Liao Family.
Did she still remember him, that dirty beggar?
Or perhaps, would she come to like the him who painted those works of the Hermit of the Cold Mountain which she bought?
Just a little, even a little bit would be good!
"Big Brother Feng, Big Brother Feng?" Liao Shijie called softly.
Returning to his senses, Feng Wushuang said, "Come, come, let’s drink!"
The two of them resumed their drinking.
After the meal, they inevitably sat together to chat. It had been a long time since Lady Feng had felt so happy. Despite feeling tired, she did not want to retire to bed. Yun Zihan and Auntie Cui gently kept her company. Feng Wushuang turned and looked at his mother, his heart and eyes filled with warmth.
Looking toward Liao Shijie, he said, "Brother Liao, my thanks to you!"
Although in the past he may have used him more, now there was more sincerity and gratitude.
"No need to be polite!"
Liao Shijie also felt that what his wife had done was right.
To marry well is to marry a virtuous wife, and he indeed had struck it lucky.
On the first day of the new year, Mrs. Han returned to the Han Family with seven or eight large trunks. No one knew what was inside and no one dared to ask.
Han Xuzi was taken aback for a moment.
After Mrs. Han recounted the matters of the Yun Family, Han Xuzi let out a cold huff.
Mrs. Han quickly caught on, "Father..."
"How they have treated my granddaughter, I will not let them off lightly—just you watch!" Han Xuzi said, then took a gentle sip from his tea cup.
Mrs. Han pursed her lips and said no more.
The Han Family was known for their favoritism; the men of the Han Family even more so.
From her grandfather’s generation, none had taken concubines. After her grandmother passed away, her grandfather soon followed in sorrow. Reflecting on her mother’s side, Mrs. Han thought if only she were born a son, she would have taken a wife and cherished her dearly, producing many children to flourish the Han Family tree.
February arrived in the blink of an eye.
No one knew who spread the word, but Yun Jinnian’s birthday was on the fifteenth of February. Many birthday gifts were sent early to Zizhu Academy, where Yun Jinnian lived. There was a wide variety of gifts, filling several rooms.
Yun Jinnian opened each gift personally, then made a note of them on the side, planning to have Elder Jin send an elixir back when his own birthday came.
Chu Yu still followed Han Tianci to learn Martial Arts. The law sage did not teach intentionally, but Chu Yu had a good foundation and was learning much faster than Han Tianci.
Having consumed so much Blood Lotus Dew, he was in no hurry to grow taller, but his shoulders had broadened quite a bit. As for how much his Martial Arts had improved, no one knew except Chu Yu himself.
Tianci also grew taller rapidly, surpassing Yun Jinnian in height. Yun Jinnian’s leg injury had completely healed, but he still seldom walked. Wounds to muscles and bones needed a hundred days to heal, and he feared any complications, so he rested well.
Through the mutual learning, discussion, and research with Elders Mu and Tu, Yun Jinnian’s medical skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
"A genius, truly a genius!" Elder Mu exclaimed, overcome with excitement.
