Rather than entrusting her to an outsider to be sent to Peach Blossom Island, it would be better to have Lu Chengfeng take her back to Yun Manor.
Once this thought arose, there was no more hesitation.
So, after a journey of more than a day, Feng Heng was respectfully invited by Lu Chengfeng to his hometown in Taihu.
However, no sooner had they arrived than Huang Rong showed up at their door.
This was certainly unexpected for Lu Chengfeng, and Feng Heng was equally caught off guard.
Now, faced with her daughter's invitation, Feng Heng is even more at a loss.
She certainly wanted to be with her daughter, but she knew better what Mando Hill was all about.
She was also afraid that once she went in, she wouldn't be able to get out.
Huang Rong never thought of it in that negative way, but Feng Heng always had a hidden worry in her heart.
Therefore, she hesitated and wavered.
Huang Rong was quite surprised to see Feng Heng agree so readily.
Her mind raced, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Mother, are you afraid that your father won't be able to find you when he comes back?"
"Hmph, that wicked father, he deserves to be worried, let's see if he still dares to abandon you for some unrelated woman!"
"Let's go! To Mantuo Manor. Rong'er has many good sisters there. We eat and play together, having a great time and ignoring Daddy! We'll make him worry to death!"
Li Yuhu chimed in to support Huang Rong, "Yes, Auntie, it's so lively where we are! Once you get there, you'll definitely be reluctant to leave."
Feng Heng: "..."
What I'm afraid of is not being able to leave, isn't it?
Azhu and Abi exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.
Because they thought of Li Qingluo.
The two women trembled at the thought of Jiang Sishui's recklessness and audacity.
The events of that night were still vivid in their minds, and they dared not offer any advice, because they could not guarantee that Jiang Sishui would not be interested in Feng Heng.
Meanwhile, Lu Chengfeng, who was listening in, also roughly understood.
This junior sister clearly doesn't like Mei Chaofeng!
In fact, Lu Chengfeng was inexplicably implicated back then, so how could he not resent and hate Mei Chaofeng?
Seeing that Huang Rong shared the same thoughts as him, he suddenly felt even closer to her.
To win Huang Rong's favor, he said, "Master's wife, it's not that I'm unwilling to fulfill my filial duties, but since my junior sister is here, I dare not overstep my bounds. Please rest assured, Master, when you return, I will explain to you."
Feng Heng was already on the verge of collapse, and now Lu Chengfeng delivered another blow, causing her to immediately retreat.
She said helplessly, "Alright, Rong'er, I'll go with you."
"That's great!" Huang Rong happily hugged her arm.
Looking at Huang Rong's beaming face, Feng Heng thought to himself, "I hope I'm just overthinking it. Even if he really has other intentions, as long as I firmly refuse, given his doting affection for Rong'er, he would never do anything to harm us."
Thinking of this, Feng Heng felt somewhat relieved.
From now on, at Mantuo Villa, her daughter will be her support and "protective umbrella".
Afterwards, the group stayed at Guiyun Manor for a while longer before deciding to return home.
Before leaving, Huang Rong looked at Cheng Ying and said, "Sister, why don't you come with us?"
Cheng Ying shook her head, still maintaining a calm and indifferent demeanor.
Huang Rong blinked: "You want to avoid him?"
Cheng Ying shook her head again.
Before Huang Rong could ask any more questions, she said, "I'm not avoiding him, and I won't go looking for him."
"I don't hate him, but I don't like him either."
"Whether I have a copy of the diary or not, it's all external to me."
"A beautiful skeleton, immortal and eternal, I see no difference between them."
“I have no fixed abode. If I meet him one day, it will be fate. If I get to know and love him, it will be destiny. At that time, I will naturally be willing to be with him.”
"If I don't meet him, or if I already have someone else in my heart before I meet him, then we are not destined to be together, and there's nothing more to say."
The women looked at each other.
Seeing her calm expression and tranquil temperament, Huang Rong understood.
She smiled and said, "Okay, we respect your choice. We hope that we can be best friends someday."
Cheng Ying smiled slightly: "See you again if fate allows."
"Goodbye!"
They waved goodbye.
The small boat, carrying five people, slowly sailed towards Mantuo Villa.
Along the way, Azhu and Abi introduced the beauty of Taihu Lake, and the lively Li Yuhu chimed in, making it a very lively trip.
This was quite different from the desolation of Peach Blossom Island, and it made Feng Heng feel a sense of warmth and ease.
Finally, Mantuo Villa came into view.
However, the women's attention was drawn to a large ship to their side.
And looking at the large ship's destination, it was clearly Mantuo Manor!
203 Two sacred texts acquired
"Sister Rong?"
Abi subconsciously looked at Huang Rong, waiting for her to make a decision.
Huang Rong was naturally very curious, and after estimating the distance to Mantuo Manor, which was within ten miles, she said, "Let's go up and take a look."
Abi nodded, and she and Azhu pulled the oars, and the small boat glided gracefully across.
The people on the large ship naturally noticed them as well. A dashing young man in white walked onto the deck and faced them from a distance.
A'Zhu is an expert in disguise, has an extremely sharp eye, and is best at noticing details.
His gaze swept over the handsome young man, and he whispered, "It's a woman, a woman disguised as a man."
Huang Rong added, "And it was mentioned briefly in my diary."
Apart from Feng Heng, the other three women understood upon hearing this that Huang Rong had learned about it through the "Kunji Seal".
So this person is also the owner of the copy of the diary.
As they spoke in hushed tones, they drew closer together. The "white-robed gentleman" closed his folding fan, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I am Shangguan Haitang, and I greet you ladies."
Shangguan Haitang?
After careful consideration, Li Yuhu and her three daughters remembered that they had mentioned this name when writing about Zhu Wushi. It seemed to be a character in the TV series "The World's Number One", and the ending seemed to be not very good.
So... is her purpose the same as Jin Lingzhi's?
The women all made their guesses.
Taking advantage of this moment, Huang Rong carefully examined Shangguan Haitang's appearance.
She was as beautiful as a peach blossom, elegant and graceful; even dressed as a man, she was a stunning beauty.
Upon hearing Shangguan Haitang's words, she asked, "Miss Shangguan, are you coming to Mantuo Manor?"
Miss Shangguan?
Seeing that her identity as a woman had been exposed, Shangguan Haitang did not beat around the bush and said frankly, "Haitang is here on the orders of her godfather to deliver something."
"For him?"
"Yes."
Shangguan Haitang certainly knew who the "he" Huang Rong was referring to was.
"Your godfather is..."
"The Iron-Blooded Marquis of the Great Ming Dynasty"
"Zhu ignored?"
Huang Rong pondered to herself: "Could the things Zhu Wushi gave to Brother Sishui be the 'Absorbing Power Technique' and the 'Indestructible Vajra Holy Skill'?"
"It's been a month since the incident, but he's really efficient. It seems that, just like in the story, Zhu Tiedan cares a lot about Suxin."
Thinking that the two sacred scriptures that Jiang Sishui wanted might have arrived, Huang Rong was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Shangguan. Please come into the manor for a chat."
Shangguan Haitang nodded slightly: "Please go first, Miss."
Huang Rong nodded to A Zhu and A Bi, and the small boat sped up, heading towards Mantuo Manor.
The large ship followed closely behind.
Bai Feifei, who was in charge of the "Water Control Pearl," silently observed the commotion. Seeing that Huang Rong was leading the way, she knew that the newcomers were friends, not enemies, and immediately felt relieved.
After the two boats docked, Shangguan Haitang asked the boatman to take the boats back.
