The Slender Waist-Chapter 740 - 531: Greater and Lesser Righteousness

Chapter 740: Chapter 531: Greater and Lesser Righteousness

Lady Chen, after all, never got to drink the tea for the matriarch.

She fainted and was taken away by Feng Ying, who went to find a doctor.

But this did not delay the celebration, which was not very formal but quite lively.

Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang put on their festive attire and served tea to Feng Jingteng, and in front of everyone, they changed how they addressed him.

Over forty years old, Feng Jingteng took on the role of the groom, his spirits high with joy. After the banquet, he took both concubines back to Huaxi.

The carriage was prepared by Feng Yun.

She stood at the entrance, watching them leave.

Just as she was about to turn around, Wen Xingsu came out with Puyang Yi.

He stood in front of Feng Yun and unconsciously let out a sigh.

"I would like to speak with Ayun alone," he said.

Puyang Yi guessed it was about Feng Jingteng taking concubines and winked at Feng Yun, "I’ll wait for you in the carriage."

"Alright." Wen Xingsu nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on Feng Yun, sharp and piercing.

Feng Yun offered a smile, "Shall we sit inside the house?"

Wen Xingsu replied, "No need. I’ll say a few words and then leave."

Feng Yun smiled, "Please speak, elder brother."

Wen Xingsu’s tone was very calm and gentle, but it was clear that he did not like this matter.

"Why are you so determined to do this, Ayun? There is no benefit for you."

"I do not seek any benefits." Feng Yun thought for a moment, did not share her suspicions about Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang with him, and instead said with a light and casual laugh.

"If my enemies are in pain, I am happy. It’s just that simple."

Wen Xingsu pondered, "Are you hiding something from me?"

The two were so familiar with each other that even the slightest hint of hesitation in one’s eyes could be detected by the other.

Feng Yun smiled, "It’s nothing important. I have no intention of hiding it from you, elder brother... But some things, once done, are done. If you knew, it would only add to your troubles."

Wen Xingsu looked at her, hesitating for a moment.

"You still can’t let go, can you?"

"What about you, elder brother?" Feng Yun asked him, "Have you let go?"

The cold treatment and the injustice they experienced as children in the Feng Family, they went through together. The nearly cruel bullying Feng Yun suffered in her past life is something the present Wen Xingsu does not know, nor will ever know.

Without experiencing it, elder brother could not truly understand.

Seeing him silent, Feng Yun chuckled lightly.

"Even if Lady Chen treated you coldly, as a child of hers, how could you bear a grudge against your own mother? I suppose, elder brother has let go."

"Ayun..." Wen Xingsu’s eyes landed on Feng Yun, deep and serene like an ancient well, "I don’t blame you, I feel sorry for you..."

"I know." Feng Yun smiled nonchalantly.

Wen Xingsu sighed, "I wish you wouldn’t be so obsessed. How can you be happy carrying hatred? Ayun, you should be happier."

At the sound of this, Feng Yun laughed.

"Then you should congratulate me. I am very happy."

Being able to personally take revenge, slowly returning the pain that the Chen Family mother and daughter had inflicted on her in a past life, nothing could be more satisfying than the present moment...

But she would not tell Wen Xingsu, that these were far from enough.

"Elder brother, you should return soon. Your new wife is waiting for you."

She turned with a smile, glancing toward the carriage.

Puyang Yi, who had been peeping through the curtains, quickly retracted her hand.

Wen Xingsu pursed his lips, nodded his head, "I’m leaving."

In Yutangchun, the aftermath of the banquet was still being cleaned up.

Pei Jue was talking to He Qia and his son. Feng Yun did not interrupt them but went to her room on the second floor alone, closed the door, and sat quietly by herself.

She liked to go over everything from beginning to end after an event had concluded, to check for any slip-ups.

About a quarter of an hour later, He Qia and his son also said their goodbyes.

Pei Jue came to look for her. As he saw her icy eyes, his brow furrowed slightly.

Feng Yun met his gaze, "Do you think what I did was right, Your Majesty? Facilitating a concubine for my biological father, is it proper or outrageous?"

Pei Jue walked over, took her cloak from the wooden frame, wrapped her tightly, and said in a voice so calm it was without ripples, "Outrageous. But I like it."

Feng Yun looked at him with a smile. The thin layer of unease in her heart immediately dissipated.

"Shall we go and bid farewell to our elder sister?"

"No need." Pei Jue’s gaze was profound, "Let’s return earlier, and rest earlier."

Feng Yun:...

Last night she was afraid of eavesdroppers on the wall, preventing him from succeeding; he didn’t say anything, who would have thought he would remember it until now? It’s not even dark yet, and he is daring enough to speak it out loud.

-

As the carriage entered Changmen, the concubines came up to greet them.

They respected, feared, and kept their distance from Pei Jue, but they were warm and affectionate towards Feng Yun.

Pei Jue was used to this and glanced at Feng Yun, then with a cold face, he went back to his room without saying a word.

Feng Yun knew the meaning of that glance was for her to come back earlier.

She smiled but did not respond.
