Feng Yili Is a Heartless Man

Yu Yunxi said in a deceptively sincere voice, “Father, do you like it? I looked for this gift in Xinan for a long time, and I brought it all the way here for you.”

With every word Yu Yunxi spoke, the expression on Yu Zhongchen’s face grew more and more murderous.

Everyone lowered their heads, thinking that the concubine’s daughter from the Yu family was really bold. If it were not for the King of Xinan, she would have been torn to pieces by now.

Finally, Yu Zhongcheng took a deep breath to suppress his killing intent and said through gritted teeth, “You’re really thoughtful. Men, bring the gift away.”

“It seems like Father really likes this gift. Then, I’ll have to continue giving you gifts like that in the future. By the way, you haven’t answered my earlier question. Do you know what day it is today?” Yu Yunxi asked with a smile. She did not intend to let Yu Zhongcheng off the hook.

“What?” Yu Zhongcheng had to force these words out of his mouth. If looks could kill, Yu Yunxi would have died countless times by now.

“It’s my mother’s death anniversary,” Yu Yunxi said icily.

It was also at this time that everyone noticed the white sash tied around her waist. With this, everyone found out that Yu Zhongcheng’s birthday was the same as his concubine’s death anniversary. They thought that it was a little inauspicious.

At this time, Madam Chen shot Yu Yunxi a warning look and said, “The Prime Minister has many matters to attend to. How could he remember a small concubine?”

Everyone was expecting to watch Yu Yunxi fight with Madam Chem. To their surprise, Yu Yunxi seemed to have lost interest and said, “I’m tired. Where’s my seat?”

Everyone looked around furtively and found that there was only one empty seat left, and it was the seat between Feng Yili and Yu Wanrong. Their expressions turned strange when they recalled the relationship between the trio.

At this time, Yu Wanrong looked at Yu Yunxi. The resentment in her eyes had been hidden away and only tenderness was left as she said, “Elder sister, you’re still alive. This is great. I’ve been missing you over the past five years.”

With this, the guests in the surroundings began to praise Yu Wanrong.

“Second Young Miss Yu is not only beautiful, but she’s kind as well. She treats her illegitimate sister so sincerely.”

“That’s right. Back then, Eldest Young Miss Yu, a small concubine’s daughter, stirred up trouble in the Prince Regent’s Residence and the Prime Minister’s Residence. Ordinary people would’ve hated her to death, but Second Young Miss Yu is still worried about her. She’s really kind.”

Yu Wanrong heard the praises, and a proud expression appeared on her face that was hidden under the veil. She waved at Yu Yunxi and said, “If you don’t mind, you can sit next to me.”

“Oh, you’re really such a good sister…” Yu Yunxi said lightly. Then, she glanced at Feng Yili. Even she did not realize the resentment in her eyes as she said, “However, I’m afraid the Prince Regent doesn’t want me to sit next to him.”

Yu Wanrong turned to look at Feng Yili with tears in her eyes. She sounded extremely sincere as she said, “Your Royal Highness, my sister must have suffered a lot over the years. No matter what mistakes she made in the past, can you forgive her for my sake? Please allow her to sit with me.”

With these words, no one would believe that Yu Wanrong was not familiar with Feng Yili.

‘No what mistakes I made in the past?’ Yu Yunxi sneered. When she recalled the rumors she heard in the past, she only thought to herself, ‘Forget it. He’s just a heartless man.’

Yu Yunxi’s gaze was cold. Without waiting for a response, she strode over to Feng Weizhou and asked, “Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I see there is still some space here. Do you mind if I add another chair here?”

Feng Weizhou raised an eyebrow slightly. Clearly, he did not expect Yu Yunxi to come over. However, without much hesitation, just like an old acquaintance, he said, “Of course. Someone, bring a chair over.”

While Yu Wanrong watched this scene, she almost tore her handkerchief. ‘Sure enough. This sl*t came for the Crown Prince. It’s been five years, but she’s still the same!’

Meanwhile, Feng Yili remained silent. His face remained expressionless. It was as though Yu Yunxi was just a stranger to him.

Everyone speculated that Feng Yili only had Yu Wanrong in his eyes. Now that Yu Yunxi returned, they thought that he must be furious.

No one noticed that when Feng Yili set his cup down, the cup broke. Blood flowed down his hand, and he did not even notice it. Perhaps only in the depths of his eyes that hints of the emotions he had hidden could be seen.

“Sister, we haven’t seen each other for five years. How did you become the goddaughter of the King of Xinan? I heard that the King of Xinan has dozens of concubines. It mustn’t be easy for you to get along with everyone, right?” Yu Wanrong asked, feigning curiosity. Her eyes were innocent.

The guests exchanged a look as their minds began to race again.

Indeed. Who was the King of Xinan? Apart from being ambitious, he was also a womanizer. It was said that when he saw beautiful women on the streets, he would force them back to his residence. It did not matter who they were.

Everyone turned to look at Yu Yunxi. It was difficult for them not to overthink after listening to Yu Wanrong’s words. Yu Yunxi was beautiful after all. With the King of Xinan’s lecherous nature, they could not help but wonder what means she used to become his goddaughter. Was she truly his goddaughter or did they have another kind of relationship?

With this thought in mind, some of the men present leered at Yu Yunxi while the women looked at her disdainfully.

When Qian Jiao saw those gazes, her eyes glinted coldly. She could not wait to help Yu Yunxi vent her anger. She said icily, “Master, I’ll gouge their eyes out!”

“No need,” Yu Yunxi said. These looks were nothing to her now; they did not bother her at all. Then, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Yu Wanrong, who wore an innocent expression on her face. She smiled mockingly as she thought to herself, ‘It’s been five years, and her methods are still so dirty.’

Yu Yunxi naturally knew Yu Wanrong wanted everyone to suspect her of using her body to obtain this identity. Finally, she sneered and said indifferently, “I don’t pay much attention to the concubines. Men can be fickle after all. It’s useless for women to plot. In the end, if they meet the wrong person, they’d only be abandoned. Why should I pay attention to concubines when they’ll be abandoned at any time? In any case, it’s all thanks to Father that I became a County Princess.”

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They did not understand what Yu Yunxi was trying to say.

Even Yu Zhongcheng looked at Yu Yunxi.

Yu Yunxi continued to say, “Back then, Prime Minister Yu had very bad headaches so my mother learned acupuncture to treat him. I learned a little from my mother. When I was wandering around Xinan, I used my acupuncture skill to treat my godmother’s headache. My godfather was impressed by my medical skills so he adopted me as his goddaughter.”

With this, everyone finally remembered that four years ago, the King of Xinan had indeed looked for famous doctors to cure his wife. Everyone knew about this.

Yu Yunxi glanced at Yu Zhongcheng and said meaningfully, “Although Godfather has many concubines, he’s not a thankless person. When he was young, he was almost assassinated, and it was Godmother who saved him at that time. For this reason, he had always respected and cherished Godmother. He’s also grateful that I saved Godmother.”

Yu Zhongcheng’s expression was gloomy. He naturally understood Yu Yunxi’s words. She was mocking him for forcing his savior to die.

Someone said, “If that’s the case, it’s not surprising that she became the goddaughter of the King of Xinan.”

Many people nodded in agreement when they heard these words.

A hint of anger appeared in the depths of Yu Wanrong’s eyes. She did not expect Yu Yunxi to get away so easily. She did not believe that things were as simple as Yu Yunxi said.

‘This b*tch definitely has something to do with the King of Xinan!’

Alas, Yu Wanrong had to maintain her kind and gentle image in front of everyone, and she could not be aggressive.

At this time, Yu Yunxi smiled knowingly and asked casually, “I’m very touched that my sister cares about me so much. However, there’s something I’m worried about. The weather is so hot. I wonder why you’re always wearing a veil?”
