Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 50: Secret
"He is only eight years old. He is Mr. Feng's adopted son. In fact, he is old enough to be Mr. Feng's grandson. Mr. Feng and this child depend on each other for survival. He wanted to pass on all his medical skills to this adopted son, but this child's personality is difficult to figure out and he is not very interested in medicine. Mr. Feng had to selectively teach him some skills for the time being. This child sometimes gets angry with others, but he listens to Mr. Feng. If anyone offends Mr. Feng, this child will show his color to the person, and he will not stop until Mr. Feng stops him."

They talked about some other things, and as they were talking as they walked, they felt that they arrived at Feng Jinlei's house very quickly.

At this time, Feng Jinlei was the only one at home.

The tall young man introduced Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying, his two saviors, to Feng Jinlei and then left.

Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying explained their purpose to Feng Jinlei and talked to him for a while, probing and asking questions.

As they talked, Feng Jinlei said, "I haven't asked about the palace for a long time. Besides, there are some things in the palace that I probably shouldn't have known then, let alone now..."

At this time, Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying saw deep disappointment and helplessness in Feng Jinlei's eyes, but such an expression brought more hope to their investigation. They felt that the words they had just talked to him seemed to make Feng Jinlei want to tell the truth.

"Mr. Feng, His Majesty is in a very dangerous situation now..." Before Yan Moying finished speaking, he heard Feng Jinlei sigh deeply.

"Alas! Something happened again..." Feng Jinlei said this with a sad and solemn look on his face, "This palace... Alas!" Another long sigh.

Seeing Feng Jinlei's expression, and remembering the good deeds that the tall young man mentioned along the way, Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying felt that he was not the kind of person who would intentionally hurt others. They could also see that he seemed to have something in his heart that he had been holding back for a long time, but had no one to talk to.

Yin Ruchen thought that there might be some hidden reason why he retired and returned to his hometown at that time.

"I can see that you have something to hide about what happened back then, right?" Yin Ruchen continued to ask.

At this time, Feng Jinlei suddenly remembered the fortune-teller's prediction that a bad day would happen. The solution was to tell the secret to the right person to avoid evil. But this also depended on timing and fate. If the right time had passed, it would be useless even if he told the secret. But the fortune-teller did not tell him when the bad day would happen, who would be the right person to tell the secret, and when the opportunity would come.

He thought, regardless of whether he could turn bad luck into good luck, at least he could feel better by speaking out the things that had been stuck in his heart for a long time. If Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying hadn't come to his house today, he wouldn't have had the urge to speak out immediately. If they hadn't come to his house, perhaps, he would have gone to find someone to talk to about the divination result; perhaps, even if he found someone to tell, it would still be difficult to get over the hurdle in his heart; or perhaps, he would not go to anyone and leave everything to fate. At worst, he would take this old thing that had been buried for a long time to the grave and bury it underground.

Now, Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying's words aroused his desire to speak out, but he didn't know how to start, so he said, "Please wait a moment, both of you," walked to the black medicine cabinet, and took out a small wooden box from the lowest drawer of the cabinet.
