Chapter 1110 Misfortune

“Third Sister, look! I’m not sure what is being sold in front, so many people are crowding over there, let’s go and take a look!” Unexpectedly, this street which was rather quiet, this alleyway entrance which was rather deserted, it was strangely bustling today. A street peddler was standing there with his goods and many people crowded around his goods to choose, there were rows of people and it was crowded.

In the end, Xiangrong was a young girl and would naturally be interested in new and interesting things were being sold. In addition, since she had already come out, she wanted to relax. Therefore, she happily lunged forward together with Fendai, but she did not know, what waited for her, was misfortune……

Fendai already expected that this street peddler and the ones crowding around to buy things were not that simple, for this place, it was normally impossible for people to come here to buy things. The people who passed by here were few, the people who lived here were few. It was a secluded area, how stupid must a seller be to come here? Therefore, she determined that this must be arranged by Yu Qianyin, and she just had to successfully bring Xiangrong into the crowd, then she did not have to care about what happened later on.

As she was thinking, the pair had already squeezed into the crowd, Fendai did not do anything special, only rushing ahead to look at the goods, and since Xiangrong had a more sedate personality, she was unable to squeeze in that quickly and was squeezed into the middle of the crowd, surrounded by many people, separating her from her maid Shan Cha by a large distance.

Shan Cha was a little anxious, seeing Xiangrong being squeezed by the crowd too much, Shan Cha shouted from the fringes of the crowd: “Young Miss! Young Miss! Oh gosh, all of you give way, do not crowd around my Young Miss so much!”

But how would these people listen to her, not only did they not give way, they crowded closer to Xiangrong, the area covered by them kept shrinking, from the start where she could still push around a little, she was now squeezed into one location tightly and their bodies were pressed up against each other. It was to the point that Xiangrong suddenly had a feeling that these people were doing it intentionally. Unfortunately, when she realised it, it was already too late, she felt a wave of dizziness and she fainted just like this.

In a blink of an eye, when Shan Cha who was in the fringes of the crowd finally broke through the dense human wall and rushed to where Xiangrong was standing, how could she still be able to find any signs of her Young Miss.

Someone voiced their complaints to Shan Cha: “Why are you squeezing! Only your Young Miss is precious? Everyone is here to buy things, why are you acting like someone from a noble family? If you really have money and status, then go to the jewellery shops and buy things! Why are you competing with us over street wares?”

Other people also said: “If she wants to squeeze, then let her do so! We just don’t have to buy anything, she can buy everything on her own.”

As they spoke, these people already left one after another, a crowd which was made up of rows and rows of people cleared away quickly, only leaving Fendai, Dong Ying and Shan Cha, who was looking for her own Young Miss in a daze.

Seeing this scene, the street peddler carrying his goods did not look happy as well, he took away the bracelet which was still in her hands, saying unhappily: “It’s because of all of you, my perfectly good business was ruined! Hand it over, hand it over, I’m not selling anymore!” As he spoke, he shoved Fendai, then shouted in anger and left with his goods.

That person walked very quickly, when they finally reacted, they could not find any signs anymore. Even those people who were crowding around and buying things earlier have dispersed without a trace. It was to the point that Fendai had a mistaken perception, as if the bustling of this place just now had never existed at all. However, there was still a change in the end, there were four people when they came, now, only three were left.

Shan Cha was trembling in fright, crying with a “Wah”, searching around as she cried, shouting constantly: “Young Miss! Young Miss! Where are you? Young Miss!” She continued to shout, really hoping that she could see Xiangrong appear at her side when she turned around, unfortunately, it was as if Xiangrong disappeared into thin air and never appeared again. Shan Cha was almost frightened to death, grabbing Feng Fendai, kneeling down with a plunk: “Fourth Miss, did you see our Third Miss? Please help me to search around, why did Third Miss disappear just like that?”

Fendai was also rather nervous, she knew why Xiangrong disappeared, but also knew even more clearly that Xiangrong’s disappearance was definitely related to her. But for this matter, other than herself, this could not be known to outsiders, even her maid Dong Ying could not know about this. She looked at Shan Cha, and her nervousness became irritation, she swung her arm harshly and pushed Shan Cha away, saying: “We were here looking at things, you were unable to keep watch in your own Young Miss, now you’re asking me for her?”

Shan Cha shook her head quickly: “That’s not it! I am not asking Fourth Miss for her, I am only pleading with Fourth Miss to help search.”

Fendai scoffed coldly: “Search? Where am I supposed to search? Do you think I am a city patrol officer? Having a lot of manpower and stamina? I have only brought one maid with me, are you asking This Young Miss to go on the streets to search for her? In the end, losing Third Sister is the fault of you, the maid, if you did not shout loudly over there, would they have gotten angry? Did you not hear what those people said when they left? Even the street peddler carrying the goods was offended by you, I This Young Miss did not even have the chance to pull out silver to buy the bracelet I liked before you ruined everything. Now Third Sister was lost, the blame is all on you!”

Shan Cha, who already felt afraid, when she was threatened by Fendai, she felt more guilty, feeling that Fendai was reasonable as well, she did shout loudly and caused those people to feel unhappy, but who were those people? Bandits? They abducted her Young Miss simply because she shouted two sentences?

Cold sweat broke out on Shan Cha’s forehead, if her Young Miss was really abducted, then it would be bad!

Fendai looked at Shan Cha coldly but did remind her: “It would be impossible for the power of us few people to find her, if you have the strength to cry here, shouldn’t you quickly return to Chun Palace to get reinforcements, only by casting a big net to search can the person be found. But do not be too optimistic!” She scoffed coldly, “You should have heard, This Young Miss’ younger brother was also lost, His Highness the Fifth Prince searched for a long time but was unable to find him, from what I see! The chances of finding your Young Miss is also very small!”

Fendai started to speak sarcastically with a cold expression on her face and no anxiousness could be sensed from her. But Shan Cha could not care about getting angry at her, when she heard Fendai’s reminder, she quickly got up and ran towards Chun Palace. When only Fendai and Dong Ying were left, Dong Ying’s heart started beating vigorously, instinct told her and the disappearance of Feng’s Third Miss was definitely related to her Young Miss. Just like Xiao Bao’s disappearance, Feng Fendai only pushed the blame onto someone else without reason.

She had suspicions but did not dare to ask, Feng Fendai’s face clearly showed that she had her own plans. As a servant, if she knew too much, she might not live long.

Following the Eighth Prince’s rescue and Xiao Bao’s disappearance, it was Xiangrong’s turn now. When Feng Yuheng heard this news, she really wanted to rush to Crystal courtyard and strangle Feng Fendai to death. But what would that do? After personally keeping watching over Crystal courtyard for two whole days, she did not see Feng Fendai interact with anyone strange, everything was very peaceful, it was so peaceful that it was as if this matter really had nothing to do with her.

But Feng Yuheng knew, Xiangrong’s disappearance was definitely related to Fendai, looking for her to go out for shopping out of the blue, then randomly strolling down to that secluded place, and that place which should be deserted strangely having so many people. A short while after Xiangrong’s disappearance, Shan Cha returned to Chun Palace in a crazed manner and asked for help…… all of this showed that this matter was not normal, and she also thought of Yu Qianyin who was the most skilled at disguise, as well as Yu Qianyin’s attraction towards the Seventh Prince.

“If Yu Qianyin really came to Da Shun, it is likely that Xiangrong was abducted by her.” Feng Yuheng told Xuan Tianhua, “Seventh Brother should still remember the feelings that Sixth Princess has towards you, Xiangrong has stayed at Chun Palace the whole time and the rumours outside have already spread. Since Yu Qianyin entered the palace, it would be impossible for her to not have heard of it. Based on her feelings, how is it possible for her not to take action against Xiangrong.”

For three days in a row, in order to find Xiangrong, Xuan Tianhua did not eat and sleep too. No matter how deity-like the person was, he would also look a little frail. For Feng Yuheng’s analysis today, it was not as if he had never thought of it, it was just that he kept rejecting this conclusion from the bottom of his heart. He understood Yu Qianyin too well, that was a woman who was willing to do anything for the sake of her goals. She was even willing to harm her own blood-related brother, what else did she not dare to do? Once Xiangrong fell into Yu Qianyin’s hands, there would only be more misfortune than fortune.

These few people were very depressed, they have already expanded their nets very wide, but were unable to find anyone. Unable to find the Eighth Prince, unable to find Xiao Bao, unable to find Xiangrong even more, and because of this, everyone concluded that the ones who abducted these three people must be the same group of people, and these three peoples should be locked in the same place.

At Feng Yuheng’s end, she was anxious, Feng Fendai was also equally anxious. She cooperated with Yu Qianyin’s group and sent Xiangrong to them, allowing the other party to successfully abduct Xiangrong, but after so many days passed, her Xiao Bao had not returned.

Fendai was getting restless, Dong Ying reported the developments on the Fifth Prince’s side to her, but what she received was only news that there was no progress. Xiao Bao was not successfully found by the Fifth Prince, and no one secretly sent him back to her side, had she been tricked by Yu Qianyin? Could it be…… the other party would have further requests?

Fendai did not dare to think any further, using Xiao Bao as a hostage and coercing her, they would be able to raise one request after another. Feng Xiangrong was the first step, then what would be the next step? Could it be that she still wanted her to infiltrate Feng Yuheng’s inner circle? Oh my god! If that was really the case, what should she do? Feng Xiangrong was easy to trick, but Feng Yuheng was just like an otherworldly wise person, it would be hard to trick her.

Seeing that Fendai was restless the past few days, Dong Ying did not know if she was thinking about Xiao Bao or Xiangrong. People’s curiosity was always hard to control, Dong Ying held it in and held it in some more, but still asked Fendai in the end: “Young Miss, with Feng’s Third Miss being lost, should we help to search? After all, she was lost when with us, if Princess Yu’s strange pinning of blame comes to us, how are we supposed to handle it?” She mentioned Feng Yuheng to suppress Fendai and this caused Fendai to frown.

However, even if that was the case, what could be done? Fendai said: “We only have this many people at the Crystal courtyard, how are we supposed to help search? Will you go or will I go? Or do we let those maids and grannies go? The people who are patrol officers, guards and hidden guards were unable to find her, how are we supposed to do anything with just us?” Pausing for a while, she said again: “But you have a point, if nothing is done, that Feng Yuheng might say something. Let’s do this! Go and tell Xuan Tianyan, let him look for Feng Xiangrong as well when he is searching for Xiao Bao, we just need to act like we’re doing something.”

Dong Ying nodded and agreed but did not see any pity or sympathy for her own sister on Feng Fendai’s face, even if she was a young girl who followed her out from Feng manor, she also felt that Fendai was too cold at this moment. She sighed inwardly helpless, only thinking that people with a cold attitude were pitiful but also hateful, Fendai’s isolation, bad temper and stubborn would meant that she would never obtain any kinship in her life.

Three more days passed, just as Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua were looking for Xiangrong until they were close to despair, during the early hours of the night that day, the gate of Chun Palace was knocked on. The people at the gatekeeper’s quarters opened the gate. After looking, they could not help but say in surprise: “Third Miss! You have returned!”
