Tomorrow was Feng Ling's wedding day. She had been hiding in her room for the past few days and did not even see Feng Nian. She carefully counted the happy moments she had with Zhi Song in the past. Was everything going to end? Every night, she would wake up from a nightmare. In her dreams, Hanzhen would always laugh at her and scold her. Every word she said was about her wound. She struggled and resisted, but the voice was everywhere. She could only listen and slowly break down.
As the sky darkened, Han Zhen thought," I can't be defeated. I can't leave the General's Estate like this. I can't marry a man who runs a noodle stall. I can't watch Young Master Zhi Song's sympathetic gaze pass by the noodle stall every day. I couldn't bear to see Hanzhen's contemptuous eyes pass by the noodle stall every day. I still have a chance. Feng Ling calculated, even if I die, I will fight with Han Zhen. She was only born in the royal family, and she only had the identity of a princess. Even if he had to die, he had to let Zhi Song see Hanzhen's hypocritical face.
During dinner time, a servant girl came to deliver food to Feng Ling. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Feng Ling standing on the table with a rope in her hand, looking like she was going to hang herself.
"Sister Feng Ling, what are you doing?”The little servant girl shouted and ran to the table, pulling the corner of Feng Ling's skirt.
"Don't stop me. I don't want to live anymore. Let me go and let me die.”Feng Ling raised his voice and shouted.
The little servant girl was shocked as she tugged at the corner of Feng Ling's clothes and shouted,"Someone, help! Sister Feng Ling is going to hang herself!”
The servants who were busy outside the door rushed over when they heard the shouts. Even Shen Yi, who had just returned to the residence, was alarmed. Feng Ling stood on the table and made a scene for a while before being pulled down by the crowd.
When Shen Yi saw this, his face was filled with anger. To actually commit suicide in the Shen residence, this matter must be investigated clearly. Shen Yi brought Feng Ling to the side hall. Coincidentally, Zhi Song and Han Zhen were waiting for Shen Yi to eat. Zhi Song saw Feng Ling's confusion and a cold light flashed in Han Zhen's eyes.
Shen Yi sat down and looked at Feng Ling, who was crying with her head lowered, and asked,""Tell me, tomorrow is your wedding day. Why did you commit suicide?”
Hearing the words suicide, Zhi Song and Han Zhen were shocked. They all looked at Feng Ling, who was crying non-stop. Han Zhen was a little nervous. It seemed that this matter must have something to do with her.
"Master, please let this servant die. In any case, this servant said that she would die, so it would be better to die now.”Feng Ling sobbed, looking extremely miserable.
"It's broad daylight. Is there no law? You said that in the Shen residence, no one would dare to make things difficult for you.”Shen Yi's face was serious.
Han Zhen looked at the tearful Feng Ling and felt regret. She regretted being soft-hearted and leaving behind a disaster.
"Then this servant will say it." Feng Ling said with a pitiful look,""Actually Feng Ling did not want to marry. This servant only wanted to stay in the Shen residence to serve Old Master and Young Master and accompany Grandfather but one does not know why the Princess insisted on marrying me off and even said that this servant had a private engagement with someone else. Feng Ling swears here that this servant is innocent and I have not done anything that goes against etiquette and morals. Feng Ling didn't want to marry, but the princess was the princess. Feng Ling didn't dare to disobey the princess's will, so he could only die to apologize.”She sobbed again.
Shen Yi's expression was solemn and he did not know what to do. After all, Hanzhen was a princess. As a subject, he could not be disrespectful to Hanzhen.
Zhi Song looked at Han Zhen and did not speak. For a moment, it was as if he did not know this woman in front of him at all. He did not know what kind of heart was hidden under her pure appearance.
Han Zhen looked at Zhi Song with tears in her eyes."Husband, do you really think I'm such a woman?”
"I don't believe it." Zhi Song shook his head.”He blurted out without hesitation.
Han Zhen smiled innocently. She turned to Feng Ling, who had a stunned expression on his face, and said,""Feng Ling, I originally wanted to let you go and give you a chance to change. I didn't expect you to bite the hand that feeds you. Now that things have come to this, I can only tell you what happened.”Han Zhen wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and continued,"That day, I went to the Guanyin Temple to pray. When I came back, I heard from Little Shun that you went to Young Master's study and even seduced him. You said that Young Master was a gentleman and didn't fall for your seduction. Tell me, is that true?”Han Zhen looked at Feng Ling sharply. Feng Ling recalled that he had indeed kissed Zhi Song that day and could only remain silent.
A hint of panic flashed across Zhi Song's face.
Seeing this, Han Zhen continued,"Originally I thought that by finding a good family for you and letting you marry out of the residence, you would be able to return to the right path. I did not expect that you would actually bite the hand that feeds you and bite me back, saying that I am mean to you.”Han Zhen said, feeling wronged. Her tears fell uncontrollably.
The servants present also started to talk about how well Hanzhen treated them.
"It's all my fault. I should have told you about Feng Ling earlier.”Zhi Song walked to Hanzhen's side and gently patted her back. He turned to Feng Ling and said solemnly,""Feng Ling, my wife will always be Hanzhen. You should find someone more suitable for you to love. I will never accept you."
Feng Ling's eyes widened. His heart had already shattered into countless pieces. He didn't even feel pain anymore. She stared at Zhisong. Eight years, eight years of feelings had been completely negated in an instant. What did she count for in the past eight years?
"It's all this old servant's fault." Feng Nian, who was usually upright and serious, knelt on the ground."It's all this old servant's fault for not disciplining him properly, causing Feng Ling to do such a disgraceful and shameless thing. Princess, please be merciful and spare Feng Ling. This old servant will send her back to her hometown in the countryside tomorrow.”Feng Nian kept kowtowing. Seeing this, Feng Ling also knelt beside Feng Nian and pulled him back. Fabian kept sobbing and repeating," Please spare my life, Princess."”
Han Zhen wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. He said gently," Steward Feng, please rise. I had no intention of killing Feng Ling in the first place. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to give her advice. As long as Feng Ling leaves the Holy Capital from now on, I won't pursue this matter anymore. Otherwise, if this matter reaches my Imperial Brother's ears, it won't be a problem that can be solved with Feng Ling's death."”
Hearing this, Shen Yi was also shocked and immediately sent a message: "Fengnian, quickly take Fengling away. Leave the Holy Capital tomorrow morning and don't come back.”
"Yes, yes, this old servant will bring Feng Ling down now. Thank you for sparing my life, Princess." As he spoke, he kowtowed to Han Zhen. Fabian got up and walked out of the front hall with Feng Ling, who was already in a daze. Feng Ling kept looking back at Zhi Song, his eyes complicated and resolute. There was a faint reluctance and some resentment, but these were no longer important.
Zhi Song turned his head away from her and said to Hanzhen,""Hanzhen, it's my fault. I've wronged you. I swear that I will tell you everything in the future, no matter how big or small. I won't let you worry anymore." Zhi Song looked at Han Zhen apologetically.
"Zhisong, you are my husband, so how can I not trust you? Hanzhen has always trusted you.”Han Zhen blinked her teary eyes, her face innocent.
"Alright, alright, the matter has been resolved. Everyone, have a happy meal. If there's anything, you two can go back to the bedroom and talk about it in detail.”Shen Yi called the two of them over for dinner. Zhi Song and Han Zhen followed Shen Yi's wishes and sat down quietly, finishing the meal that they could not eat.
At night, Zhi Song looked at Hanzhen, who was sleeping soundly beside him. He had mixed feelings. If he loved Yun Chu wholeheartedly, then he was full of guilt towards Hanzhen. He could not give her love, but he could give her everything else. He would use the rest of his life to treat her well, but this thoughtfulness had nothing to do with love. As for Feng Ling, he would probably be hurt to the end and let down forever.
The next morning, Feng Ling left without saying goodbye to anyone, not even Feng Nian. It was as if he had never been here. The Shen residence was still as usual and from then on, no one in the Shen residence dared to mention the name Feng Ling and it had almost become a taboo in the Shen residence.
