C14 Initial Recognition of Bu Qingheng
On the second day of the wedding, Xiao Yufei left Fringe City with the men of the Lord Ruler's return to the capital, leaving the home that Xiao Yufei had. Although Xiao Yu Fei had long recognized this fact, when the horse carriage moved further and further away, and when the Fringe City gradually disappeared before her eyes, her heart was filled with tears! His father, home, the feeling of reluctance was so real. When would he be able to return to Fringe City and when would he be able to see his father again!
The luxurious carriage, although walking on the rugged old road, did not seem to be uncomfortable at all. Inside the carriage, there was a soft moat, a bedding, and more books and pieces for entertainment. The carriage only contained Xiao Yu Fei and Huan'Er. The distance from the border city of the An Qi Kingdom to the Moon City of the Cang Yue Kingdom was more than ten days. Other than eating and living accommodations, the carriage did not stop at all.
Despite that, Xiao Yufei still saw the tragic sight of three years of war. Lonely graves were everywhere, and there were few signs of human life. There were many lonely old men and children begging for help. Xiao Yufei often stared at the silent tears of the old people and children, and asked Huan'er to give them as much silver as possible from her dowry. In just five days, the silver taels on Xiao Yufei's body had been wiped clean. However, this was not the way to solve the problem. Xiao Yufei often sighed, who would support the elderly, who would raise orphans! There are no nursing homes or welfare homes in ancient times! "
Along the way, although Xiao Yu Fei had not spoken to Ye Cang Yu before, she still got to know the man that Ye Cang Yu had been travelling with. Han Li's handsomeness and elegance was in no way inferior to Ye Cang Yu's. It was also the matter he told Ye Cang Yu and Shen Yi Shuang on the night of their wedding. It was also because of this that although Ye Cang Yu hurt Xiao Yu Fei so much on the day of the wedding, Xiao Yu Fei's heart did not blame him in the slightest. Instead, he understood why Ye Cang Yu loved him so deeply.
Until today, when Ye Cang Yu and Xiao Yu Fei finally spoke, because Xiao Yu Fei did one thing.
"What do you want to do? You want to bring this child back to the prince's mansion? " The first sentence Ye Cangyu spoke was a cold question. There was a beggar in the car. The child was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, with long, thin, yet lively eyes peeking out of his unkempt hair. He was different from the other beggars in that his feet were crippled and unable to walk.
"Please grant our prince's wish. This child's movements are inconvenient, we can't allow him to beg on the roadside like this. It will be dangerous!" Xiao Yu Fei tried her best to boldly meet Ye Cang Yu's gaze, making a sincere and sincere request. Ever since that night in the bridal room, although Xiao Yufei did not hate him, she realized that she was very afraid of this person. Xiao Yufei was trembling as she spoke.
"This King's manor does not raise idle people! Send him away! Give him some silver! " What was strange was that although this child was young, he actually didn't show any fear or panic when facing Ye Cangyu's imposing aura.
"Don't send him away! I'll raise him, and I'll do my work to support him! " Xiao Yu Fei was getting anxious! The first time she saw this child, Xiao Yufei had the thought to take him in. He should be a patient with polio, right? His entire leg had shrunk and he looked exactly like his younger brothers and sisters in an orphanage. Xiao Yufei could not bear to let such a child live in peace, let alone live in begging all day.
"You raise him! What will you do! Do you really think you are a wangfei? " Ye Cang Yu suddenly laughed. That cold gaze of his made Xiao Yu Fei shudder. Almost without stopping, under Ye Cang Yu's order, one of the guards stepped forward, grabbed the beggar's hand and was about to pull him down.
Huan'er stared at her young mistress with a troubled expression. She didn't know whether to continue holding onto the child or to let go.
"You are not to touch him!" Xiao Yu Fei angrily reprimanded the guard who had extended his hand. The guard didn't know what to do, so he stopped and used his eyes to ask for the prince's opinion.
"My lord, please leave him to me! He has no family, and his health is not good. If he does that, he will starve to death! " Xiao Yu Fei pleaded once again as tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably. This time, even the guards' hearts stopped moving, waiting for Ye Cang Yu's decision.
Ye Cang Yu coldly stared at the child, but a suspicious feeling couldn't help but arise within his heart. This child was not a simple beggar. If he wasn't mistaken, he should know some martial arts! Was it sent by the Anzhi Country? Was it because Xiao Yu Fei was confused and wanted to be a good person, or was it because she wanted to keep this child by her side!
A light cough came from behind Ye Cang Yu. That was Han Li's voice, and Ye Cang Yu understood what he meant without needing to mention. He was just trying to persuade Ye Cang Yu to agree to Xiao Yu's request.
"He's just a child, what tricks can he play?" Ye Cangyu contemptuously thought in his mind. However, this wangfei's actions along the way had greatly annoyed Ye Cang Yu. Along the way, she had done all sorts of good deeds and dispersed a large amount of money. Although Ye Cangyu hadn't said anything, but from the expressions of the guards, Ye Cangyu could tell that this wangfei had a very good image in their hearts! Many of the guards wanted to step forward and help the new princess, but now that the guard who carried out their orders had stopped, this Xiao Yu Fei knew how to bribe people. Today, he was even bringing a handicapped child back to the prince's mansion, but he didn't know just what kind of peace this was!
"Say a reason so This King won't stop you!" Ye Cangyu's gaze flickered as his thin lips curled up into a sinister arc.
"The elders are as old as men, the young are as young as men! Each of us, while supporting and honoring our elders, treats old people who are not related to us in the same way. In raising their own juniors, they would treat children who were not related to them in the same way, so that they would not only be related to others but also to their children, so that they would be raised by those who were old, strong, capable, and lonely. If a nation is able to accomplish this, then that country will be the most prosperous and most developed country, and also the country that gathers the hearts and minds of people! " Xiao Yu Fei slowly spoke with a sweet and gentle voice. The guards around the carriage listened quietly, as if they had been brought by Xiao Yu Fei to an ideal world.
A hint of shock flashed through Ye Cangyu's eyes. He never thought that this young miss of the Xiao family would be able to say such shocking words. She really wasn't a simple woman! Under her gaze, she felt Han Li was speechless and shocked by what Xiao Yu had said.
"Only this one time, you are not allowed to commit another offense!" Ye Cangyu coldly turned around and left. If he let that child go at this time, Ye Cang Yu believed that all the guards would be dissatisfied with him.
"Thank you, your highness! Thank you, your highness!" Xiao Yu Fei smiled happily and looked at Han Li's appreciative gaze. Xiao Yufei knew that Han Li had helped her soundlessly. Unconsciously, the corners of Xiao Yu's mouth curled up into a brilliant smile. Under the brilliant sunlight, the smile appeared exceptionally crystal clear, as pure and flawless as an angel's smile. His pitch-black eyes seemed to be filled with the radiance of the stars, as clear as flowing water.
Ye Cangyu seemed to have sensed something, but at this moment, he suddenly turned his head around, only to see that Xiao Yu Fei was smiling at Han Li. The smile on her face was breathtakingly beautiful under the sunlight, but it was a smile that blossomed on the faces of the people beside her. Ye Cang Yu felt his heart being blocked. He immediately turned around, and his expression became even more dark. At that moment, his sinister gaze made Xiao Yu Fei Fei cower and lower her head.
What was she doing? Could she have taken a fancy to her senior brother? Otherwise, why was she smiling at him like that?! And why did senior brother want to speak up for her just now! Who would have thought that she would win over so many people in just a few days as she came to his side! Ye Cang Yu angrily urged his horse to leave, feeling that there was no place for him to vent the anger in his heart.
"..."
"What's your name?" Within the carriage, Xiao Yu Fei was gently asking the begging boy. At the inn, Xiao Yu Fei saw the boy sitting on the ground outside begging for money. His begging was different from others. Some of them were begging while others were kowtowing … All in all, they would do something to attract attention. However, this beggar was different. He just sat there quietly and waited. He patiently and indifferently waited, so he had the least money in the bowl in front of him.
"Bu Qingheng!" The boy replied with a smile. It was only then that Xiao Yufei realised that despite being young, the child had matured to a different age. He did not feel any fear nor panic when facing Ye Cang Yu's forceful aura just now.
"Do you want me to be your sister?" Xiao Yu Fei suddenly asked with worry in her heart. She didn't know why this child always gave Yu Fei such a peculiar feeling.
"Sister, didn't you ask me before you took me to the carriage? "If I don't agree, I won't follow you to the carriage!" Bu Qingheng smiled as a rare look of innocence appeared on his face. This was the first time that Drizzling Rain had seen the expression he should have at his age.
"Weren't you afraid just now?" "Little Yu Fei!" Xiao Yu Fei blurted out. She was really curious, but there was no fear or dread on the young man's face.
"He will agree to let me stay, what's there to be afraid of!" Bu Qingheng replied with a smile on his face, causing Xiao Yufei to be slightly shocked. This child actually had such a perceptive ability. Even when Ye Cang Yu was angry, he had already guessed the outcome.
