Xiang Rong did not think that her second sister would suddenly ask this kind of question. At first, she was startled. She then shook her head seriously and said: "No. Concubine mother An once told me that it looked like things were happening consecutively to the Feng family after second sister returned to the manor, but not a single thing was a result of second sister's initiative. Those people already had the intention to harm people. Unfortunately, they did not have the ability to harm people. In the end, they were ruined by their own plans. Whether they were injured or died, it could not be blamed on anyone else."
Feng Yu Heng sighed gently. She knew that An shi was smart. That's why she got along with the mother and daughter. Even after Yao shi was divorced, they did not grow distant in the slightest. Xiang Rong's words really caused her to feel a little emotional. It was for no other reason than having someone in the manor that truly understood her.
"Let's sleep!" She turned around with her back facing Xiang Rong, "It's not that elder sister has a fierce heart. It's just that some people want too much. But how much they want is unrelated to me. They absolutely should never have made plans involving me. Xiang Rong, remember this. You must not be cowardly and weak. Only by being strong and decisive can you gain control of your own life."
After she said this, Feng Yu Heng fell into a light sleep. Xiang Rong also closed her eyes; however, she repeated Feng Yu Heng's words in her mind countless times until she remembered them.
The two did not sleep for long. Xiang Rong felt as though she only closed her eyes for a moment before the two hours had arrived.
She did not have time to feel sleepy. The nervousness from needing to go to court had dispersed the sleepiness. She watched Feng Yu Heng put on her court dress before realizing that she did not have any clothes for attending court. Attending court was a formal matter, and she could not go wearing her usual banquet clothes, right?
Just as she was feeling troubled, Feng Yu Heng handed her a set of clothes. It was a light orange dress that went down to her feet but did not touch the ground. It was neat and did not drag. In the middle, there was a belt of the same color. It was not flashy or fancy. It was inconspicuous and noble. It was truly very beautiful.
Feng Yu Heng told her: "These clothes were originally made for me. Qing Yu had them made for me while I was producing steel, but who knew that I would grow so much in the past half a year. It's a little too short for me to wear. It's perfect for you."
She did not lie. This dress had indeed been made by Qing Yu for her. It was not just one set. There were multiple sets. Originally, she had thought that Feng Yu Heng would wear them during the Summer. Who knew that her master would return from the military camp half a head taller than a few months prior. Qing Yu was so speechless at that time. She could only quietly put all of these clothes at the bottom of a chest. Who knew that they would find a use today.
Xiang Rong quickly got washed up and changed her clothes. When they left the manor, Wang Chuan had personally brought the imperial carriage to the front to wait for them.
Ever since Feng Jin Yuan had been demoted to fifth rank, he no longer needed to attend court. The Feng family no longer left the manor at this time. The road was completely quiet, and only the carriages of officials going to court could be seen occasionally passing by would give it a bit of a vigorous look.
Xiang Rong was still nervous, and her hands were tightly balled up into fists, her nails nearly digging into the flesh. Feng Yu Heng did not console her any further. A girl going to court was already something that had never happened in the past. If Xiang Rong was not nervous at all like her, that would be something to worry about.
Finally, the imperial carriage stopped in front of the palace's gate. The two got out of the carriage, and Feng Yu Heng raised her head to look up. She could not help but quietly admire it.
