Thinking about his bitter fate, Feng Ming was once again being waited upon by his maids who were changing him into formal clothing.
He had on a painful expression while he changed. From time to time, he would reveal a pitiful appearance while giving off a depressing aura.
Rong Tian had wanted to accompany him to see Lady Yao Ye, but he was promptly refused.
âYou are not allowed to approach me again today!â Feng Ming pointed his finger at Rong Tianâs nose, his eyes filled with grievance as if he had just been bullied.
Rong Tian laughed for a while and pulled him into an embrace. He then pinched his beautiful sulking face. âI wanted to help you rub the pain away, but you refused.â In front of the maids, he said in an audible voice, âWait until you come back. Iâll lick it for you. I guarantee that you will not feel any more pain.â
Feng Ming completely understood that his dog mouth would not spit out ivory. He blushed in shame and struggled to free himself from the embrace. His hand went towards Rong Tianâs ears as if he wanted to pull them, and he resentfully said, âDonât think that I will forget about this matter easily. When I come back, I will settle this debt with you.â
Snorting, he allowed Rong Hu to lead him away.
He gave off the illusion that he was completely dismissing Rong Tianâs words, but in his mind, he was secretly harbouring dark thoughts. He planned on taking advantage of Rong Tianâs feelings of guilt by finding the opportunity to top him tonight. After all, it was rare for him to have such an opportunityâŠ
Arriving at the side hallâs entrance, he could see the exquisite and graceful figure of Lady Yao Ye.
She was dressed in simple, white silk, similar to the first time Feng Ming had met her. There was no excessive jewelry on her body, and only a wooden hairpin decorated her hair. But on the contrary, the simple ornament managed to increase her elegant appearance.
Feng Ming entered the hall.
âMother.â He respectfully called out to her. Smoothening his clothes, he obediently stood at one side.
âYou are finally here?â Her voice was smooth and pleasant, not at all like that of an aging motherâs.
âYes.â
âOthers can leave.â
Showing a complex look, Luo Yun answered with a heavy voice, âSubordinate obeys the Young Lordâs motherâs command.â He sent a meaningful glance towards Rong Hu.
Lady Yao Ye was Feng Mingâs mother and had also saved Rong Huâs life before, causing him to become a bit dejected. Seeing Feng Ming signal for him to not worry, he eventually left together with Luo Yun.
Finally, within the room remained only Feng Ming and Lady Yao Ye.
Feng Ming breathed out and spoke, âMother, that Wen LanâŠâ
âYou still have the time to think about Wen Lan?â Lady Yao Ye turned around.
Her almond-shaped eyes glared at him. Her graceful demeanor immediately flew away to high heaven. âYour face has already been thrown away at the Aman River. Youâre fortunate I still allow you to call me Mother.â
Lady Yao Ye was skilled with the sword, to the point where even Master Xiao greatly praised her skill.
Feng Ming did not take any precautions against her. Thatâs why, while in a daze, his ear had immediately been ceased by enemy hands. He could only cry out âYa⊠YaâŠâ as his ear was painfully twisted. âWuwuwu⊠itâs really painful! Mother, please stop ah!â
Was this his retribution? He had just pulled Rong Tianâs ear, and now it was his turn to taste the same pain.
Lady Yao Ye was fully intent on punis.h.i.+ng him.
âI ask you⊠where is the Xiao Familyâs fleet?â
âSunk⊠it has sunkenâŠâ
Lady Yao Ye humphed and said, âYou stupid brat. The Xiao Family had acquired wealth through s.h.i.+pping and monopolized the Aman River for many years. How could you have been defeated, and on the Aman River at that? If I had not stopped your father and promised to look after Cai Qiang to appease him, he probably would have already come to get rid of you. Do you not know that your father treasures his face the most?â
With his ears being pulled with such strength, Feng Mingâs face was already filled with tears as he responded, âI know, I know⊠now I know⊠so painful⊠wuuuuuâŠâ
Lady Yao Ye humphed and finally had mercy on him, letting go of his ear.
Feng Ming quickly comforted his pitiful ear while murmuring in pain. He felt that being an orphan was much better. For there to be a mother like her. Every time he met her, if she was not poisoning him, then she was beating him. It was hard to tell how many years his life had been shortened thanks to her.
Feng Ming rubbed his ears and pathetically asked, âIs Father really angry?â
An He, this egg with rotten luck, was really born on the wrong date. Both of his parents were terrible. With that temper, if Master Xiao said he wanted to kill someone, he would go directly kill them. No wonder everyone was afraid of him.
People were most afraid of those who were paranoid and madmen.
Unfortunately, his father was the epitome of both types.
With a cold face, Lady Yao Ye said, âI donât care if he is angry or not. You are my son. If he dares to harm a single strand of your hair, I will fight him with my life.â Finis.h.i.+ng her words, she unexpectedly measured up Feng Mingâs expression.
Feng Ming, who was pathetically rubbing the ear that had been pulled until it turned red, was suddenly stunned. He could not help but feel a bit touched.
A mother is still a mother. Even if he was beaten and reproached, it was out of loveâŠ
âAiya!â Feng Ming once again screamed. âMother, why are you pulling my ear again?â
A moment ago, he had been indulging in a warm atmosphere, but not even a second later, things had changed. His other ear was now being pulled by Lady Yao Ye.
She was obviously somewhat irritated and wearing a poor expression, asked, âJust now, why did it take you such a long time to come out?â
âI had to change my clothes⊠Mother ah! Please let me go first⊠it really hurts!â
âHumph⊠changing clothes.â Lady Yao Ye loosened her hands and aggressively poked her finger at Feng Mingâs forehead until he gave her a pained and bitter expression. She then rebuked him, âLooking at the colour of your eyes and your brows, I can tell that, earlier in the room, you did not manage to complete those deeds, right? What? Has Rong Tian reunited with you? Or do you have another person to provoke your fire?â
This was not the first time Feng Ming had experienced his motherâs directness, but he still choked hearing her words. Stammering, he responded, âHow⊠how could that be?â
âYou still dare to lie to me?â
With Lady Yao Yeâs eyes glaring at him, Feng Ming immediately clamped his ears with both hands and took two steps back. He awkwardly whispered, âRong Tianâs return⊠hmm, really⊠is it really that obvious?â Just from looking at his eyes and eyebrows, others could actually tell that he had just been doing⊠those types of things?
âOf course.â
âHow embarra.s.singâŠâ He really had lost his face big-time. So it turns out his eyebrows and eyes could give away his private affairs. Then, in the future, every time he goes out, everyone would know.
Lady Yao Ye humphed disdainfully at him. âDo you think there are that many experts like your mother out there? The ability to see through colours, Iâm afraid that even your father is not as proficient as me.â
Feng Ming sighed in relief. Then, encountering such a person would be rareâŠ
âThen Wen LanâŠâ
âWhat do you want the Wen Lan for? Are you thinking of giving it away to Bei Qi Kingdomâs Princess Zhang Liu?â
Looking at Lady Yao Yeâs gloomy face, Feng Ming could not help but answer with vigilance, âYes.â
âUseless fool!â Lady Yao Ye sighed and said, âEven though that Princess Zhang Liu is pretty, she is already married. What is the use of pleasing her? Itâs not as good as you being spoiled by that brat, Rong Tian. Ah⊠thatâs right. That small pill I gave you, have you made him eat it yet?â
Feng Mingâs eyes innocently opened wide.
Make Rong Tian eat Lady Yao Yeâs pill? How was it different than directly killing him?
âHmm?â
Lady Yao Ye saw his foolish expression and looked at him with despise.
âThat⊠I forgotâŠâ
Bang! Her beautiful palm suddenly slapped the top of the wooden desk. The sound was loud and terrifying.
Looking at Lady Yao Yeâs face, Feng Ming knew that today was not going to be a good day. Crying âwaaa,â he covered his head and fled towards the door. He was prepared to escape at any time. Desperately waving his hand, he tried to appease her, âMother⊠donât be angry. Listen to me first. Itâs not that I donât trust your medicine, itâs just⊠itâs justâŠâ
âJust because your feel sorry for Rong Tian.â
âHmmmâŠâ Feng Ming scratched his head. After some time, he spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders. âIt can be said like that.â
Lady Yao Ye looked at his body up and down, causing him to feel scared. âPfftâŠâ Suddenly, the sound of laughter appeared and her cold face brightened like a spring flower. It was truly a surprising scene.
