Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Chapter 1126

Since It Is A Destined Disaster, I Cannot Allow It To Happen

Qian Fengshou took the two eight character records and returned. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, every step he took was heavy. The words of that Fengshui master kept repeating in his head What match made in heaven? This is simply a destined disaster!

“Destined disaster!” Qian Fengshou hated that he could not slap himself! Why did he promise that he could do it! He just had to fight for being assigned this task, and he had thought that it was a good thing to promote the completion of a happy marriage, but he did not expect that it would become a hot potato now. How was he supposed to tell Imperial Concubine Yun these words? Even though it seemed like it would be easy to speak with Imperial Concubine Yun, everyone knew, she dared to give the Emperor a difficult time for over 20 years, even the Emperor could not do anything about her, if she lost her temper, how serious would that be?

As Qian Fengshou walked, he thought about what he should do about this and as he thought, he decided that he should first think of a way of meet Feng Yuheng alone and tell her the truth, having Princess Ji An help to solve this.

He entered the Princess’ manor with such thoughts, it was noon at this time and people were gathered at the Flower Hall to eat. It was not good for him to disturb, so he waited at the outer courtyard. But before Feng Yuheng arrived, Feng Xiangrong came.

When Xiangrong came, she was smiling and even blushing slightly, completely looking like a girl who was waiting to get married, causing others to take a liking to her. When she saw Qian Fengshou, she spoke: “I heard from the servants that Lord Qian has returned, Her Highness is still eating lunch and the others are keeping her company. I am the only one with nothing to do, so I came over to ask Lord Qian about the matching of the eight characters.”

Once Qian Fengshou saw Xiangrong, he was in a daze, his hands tightening around the two eight character records and the conclusion written down by the Fengshui master as he started to tremble. His complexion was not good and he was struggling for words, unable to answer even after a long time.

Xiangrong was also stunned, looking at Qian Fengshou’s behaviour and asking in confusion: “Lord Qian, what is wrong? The eight characters which were matched are with you, right? Quickly let me take a look.

Qian Fengshou took two steps back on reflex, and even hid the eight characters behind his back, acting as if they did not exist. When this action was taken, Xiangrong immediately understood that there must be a problem inside, her heart fell immediately and a very bad feeling rose up within her.

After going through a lot of things, the current Xiangrong was still composed, she did not rush to ask Qian Fengshou, but instructed the servants of the house: “All of you leave first! I have something I wish to speak to Lord Qian alone.” After the servants acknowledged this and left, this was when she spoke to Qian Fengshou: “Lord Qian, please say what you want directly, If there is really a problem with the eight characters, all the more should you tell me directly. After all, within those two records, one of them belongs to me.”

She trembled a little when she spoke, and traces of despair were included in her tone. If it was really a problem with the eight characters, the marriage that she fought for with much effort would be disrupted.

Qian Fengshou looked at Xiangrong, his feelings complex. His Highness the Seventh Prince was deity-like and was the dream of almost every woman in the country, everyone wanted to marry into Chun Palace, this Feng family’s Third Miss had walked to this point, would she give up that easily? But if she did not give up, what should be done if the result of the eight characters matching came true? Would these two people be in danger?

Qian Fengshou was troubled, but with Feng Xiangrong pushing him into a corner like this, he had to say it even if he did not want to. With no other way, he could only hand over the note written by the Fengshui master, saying at the same time: “Not hiding this from Feng Third Miss, the master matched the eight characters and said, the marriage between the two of you is…… a destined disaster.”

“Destined disaster……” Xiangrong’s body trembled and she almost fell on the ground, but fortunately, Qian Fengshou held onto her. He wanted to console and advise her, but when his mouth opened, he did not know what to say.

Xiangrong was dazed at her spot, not speaking after a very long time, until when Qian Fengshou was afraid and wanted to summon someone to check if something bad had happened to this Third Miss did he heard her mumble, telling Qian Fengshou: “Lord Qian, I will keep this note, the matter of a destined disaster being matched today, you cannot tell anyone, understand?”

“This……” Qian Fengshou frowned, deeply vexed. He told Feng Xiangrong: “Third Miss, This Official knows you have deep feelings for His Highness the Seventh Prince, for this marriage to go though, you probably put in a lot of effort. With the match being a destined disaster now, it is understandable for you to feel frustrated, but you cannot suppress this matter because of this! That master who matched the eight characters is well known, his eight character matches had never been inaccurate, if you forcefully suppress this issue and set an engagement with His Highness the Seventh Prince as if nothing has happened, I’m afraid…… I’m afraid that something bad will happen!”

He just did not say he was afraid that something bad would happen to His Highness the Seventh Prince. When Xiangrong said that she wanted to hide this matter, Qian Fengshou’s impression of her decreased greatly, thinking that Feng Xiangrong had gone crazy in her thoughts of wanting to marry the Seventh Prince, wanting to marry even if the eight characters did not match. If she was harmed in the end, she deserved it, but if His Highness the Seventh Prince was harmed, it was really not worth it.

Qian Fengshou shook his head as he spoke, “No, no, This Official definitely cannot agree to this matter, Feng Third Miss, please be understanding on this.”

Xiangrong looked at Qian Fengshou, and after a long time, she realised what his words meant and could not help but smile in a troubled manner: “Lord Qian has misunderstood, I harboured a secret crush on him ever since I first met His Highness the Seventh Prince when I was 10 years old, how can I harm him? I rather die than have him encounter any accidents. It is just that Lord Qian does not know, His Highness the Seventh Prince is more stubborn than me sometimes. This is something he decided, how could he give it up just because of a matching of eight characters?”

Qian Fengshou did not understand, “Then Third Miss means……”

“Since this is a destined disaster, then I cannot allow this marriage to go through, But to make it fail, I need to think of a way, just based on this matching of eight characters is not enough.” As Xiangrong spoke, she stuffed the note from the Fengshui master into the pocket of her sleeve, telling Qian Fengshou again: “Lord Qian, please be generous and allow me one more day. Tomorrow morning, I will make Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yun give up on the marriage proposal. Do not worry, if unforeseen events happen tomorrow, it will not be too late even if you relay this conversation to my Second Sister and His Highness the Ninth Prince then.” After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, no longer staying in this hall.

Qian Fengshou watched Feng Xiangrong leave and only came to his senses a long time later. After that, he could not help but sigh and say: “If what she says is true, then this woman really deserves the promise His Highness the Seventh Prince given to her! As expected of Princess Ji An’s younger sister!” But how was she supposed to convince Imperial Concubine Yun to give up? Qian Fengshou was looking forward to it a little.

Xiangrong returned to Flower Hall, during the first half of her return journey, it was as if she had lost her soul, but during the second half, she returned to normal, even smiling and speaking to Feng Yuheng after returning to her seat: “It is mid-autumn tomorrow, is Second Sister preparing a banquet?”

These words attracted cheers from Imperial Concubine Yun: “Of course it must be prepared! We chose this date to come to the fief so we can make it in time for mid-autumn! The first reason is to let Third Girl reunite with her mother, the second would be to have us in-laws have a formal dinner, deciding on our children’s engagement again.”

An Shi had already agreed to the marriage and no longer acted difficult, hearing Imperial Concubine Yun say this, she added on: “Your Highness is correct, Xiangrong will be an adult next year and calculating it now, it is rather rushed, there are many things which need to be prepared in advance. We do not have a house in the capital. When Xiangrong marries, she needs to have a maternal home to step out of……” As she spoke, she turned to Feng Yuheng, saying: “Second Miss, I plan to buy a house in the capital, it will be a little grander. After all, Xiangrong is engaged to His Highness the Seventh Prince, so we cannot embarrass our children too much. Even though I have been staying in Ji An Prefecture this whole time, I will still need a place to stay when I return occasionally. I also wish for XIangrong to have a maternal home in the capital,”

An Shi’s plans were very considerate, Feng Yuheng approved of the matter to buy a house, but with regards to Xiangrong getting married from the new house, she had her own thoughts: “For the house, I will help to choose one when I return to the capital, but for Xiangrong to get married, I think it will be better if she leaves from the county manor. My younger sister cannot be looked down by others, I want the whole capital to know that the first wife of Chun Palace has someone to depend on, she is the younger sister of me, Feng Yuheng, no matter when, I, Feng Yuheng, will be her backing, her status is not insignificant at all, no lower than any lady from an important family!”

Feng Yuheng’s words were the same as giving Xiangrong the most solid backing, with a backing like this, Xiangrong would not longer be an insignificant concubine’s daughter from the Feng family, she was the younger sister of Princess Ji An, Princess Yu, marrying out from the Princess’ manor, it was the same as Feng Yuheng announcing this “decision” to the world. With this older sister as a backing, it was enough for her to walk in the capital with her head held high.

When An Shi heard this, she was so moved that she cried, Xiangrong also wiped away her tears, but it was not because Feng Yuheng caused her to feel moved. It was because she was going to lose this glory in the end. It was fated for her to miss out on Chun Palace.

This lunch was also lively. After eating, Imperial Concubine Yun asked why Qian Fengshou had not returned yet, people advised her not to be anxious, that was when she gave up and returned to her own courtyard to rest.

Xiangrong stood behind everyone, watching everyone leave one by one, feeling bleak. She only thought that this was her fate! Her fate had bloomed before, giving her the biggest surprises and amazement, but in the end, flowers could not bloom forever. When the autumn wind blew, the flower petals would fall. When she looked up again, it was still a land of bleakness.

“There is something on your mind?” Feng Yuheng walked a little slowly on purpose, waiting for Xiangrong. And when Xiangrong walked past her, she suddenly asked this.

Xiangrong got a shock. Turning around and seeing Feng Yuheng, the unease in her heart rose. This Second Sister always seemed to see through everything, such that no one was able to hide anything from her.

But the matter today…… in the end, she had to answer to Imperial Concubine Yun first. In addition, her mind was already made up, and she did not want to cause more complications. Therefore she only steeled herself and told Feng Yuheng: “If there is something on my mind, it would be related to this marriage, Second Sister, do not worry, I am only a little anxious.”

Feng Yuheng patted the back of her hand: “Do not think too much, no matter what you encounter, just take it step by step. You do not know what lies in front, it will only count after you walk past it and experience it personally. Therefore, wondering about the future is meaningless, moving forward bravely is the most correct thing to do.”

She spoke vaguely and XIangrong did not know how to interpret this, so she could only nod vaguely, then she said: “I want to see Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yun, Second Sister, I will not stay and chat.”

Feng Yuheng nodded: “Go!” Then she smiled and pushed Xiangrong lightly. When she saw Xiangrong walk in the direction of Imperial Concubine Yun’s courtyard, when that figure could not be seen any longer, that was when she frowned and said softly: “I keep having the feeling that this marriage will not go through! I’m not sure if I am overthinking this.”

Reality showed that Feng Yuheng was not overthinking this, Xiangrong met Imperial Concubine Yun and knelt in front of her at that moment, the first sentence coming out of her mouth being: “Forgive me, Your Highness, Chun Palace…… Xiangrong cannot marry into it!”
