Uncle De, disturbed by the significant incident in the Yin family, wrote a letter to Uncle Zhou, asking him to deliver it to Prince Yan’s mansion.
Upon reading the letter, Yin Hui immediately thought of Feng Teng. She had a strained relationship with her second uncle’s family, known to only a few. In the eyes of the people in Pingcheng and even Yandi, the Yin family and King Yan’s mansion were connected through marriage. Who would dare to harm the Yin family?
Only Liao Shisan and Feng Teng would make the decision for Yin Wen and had the capability to harm him. Liao Shisan had already confronted Yin Wen openly and wouldn’t resort to unscrupulous means again.
Feng Teng…
So, did Liao Qiuniang disclose the truth to Feng Teng, or did Feng Teng uncover it himself? How could a resolute military officer tolerate his fiancée being mistreated by a scoundrel? Feng Teng was unaware, but once he found out, revenge against Yin Wen was inevitable.
Yin Hui harbored no sympathy for Yin Wen, who had set a trap to harm Liao Qiuniang. He likely employed similar tactics against other women, and perhaps innocent victims had fallen prey to him before Liao Qiuniang.
Yin Hui’s main concern was Liao Qiuniang. If Feng Teng discovered the information independently, would he still accept Liao Qiuniang? Could it affect their marriage?
On the seventh day of April, before heading to Jinxiu, Yin Hui visited the Liao family’s house.
The wedding day was drawing near, and Liao Qiuniang, obediently waiting at home, welcomed Yin Hui to her room with joy. The bride-to-be’s room was adorned with festive decorations, and the prevailing red added boundless joy to the otherwise modest room.
“Madam, why are you here?” Liao Qiuniang asked, inviting Yin Hui to sit down.
Yin Hui smiled and replied, “You’re getting married, so I decided to personally come here and give you some make-up.”
Liao Qiuniang felt embarrassed and said shyly, “You have helped me so much, and now I have to ask you to pay for it.”
Yin Hui responded, “Who told you to make such delicious buns? I’m only willing to help you because of your craftsmanship.”
When they reached the bun store, Liao Qiuniang showed a bit of reluctance. She looked at the store and said, “Unfortunately, I can only guide the guys from behind.”
Yin Hui understood her decision. After marrying into the Feng family, Liao Qiuniang had to consider the family’s reputation. It wasn’t appropriate for her to appear in public frequently.
Liao Qiuniang was afraid that Yin Hui would look down on her, so she took the initiative to explain, “If I was going to marry someone else, I would have continued to make buns. But Feng Teng treats me sincerely. He doesn’t mind my past, and Mrs. Feng doesn’t care about my humble background. They treat me well, and I have to reciprocate. I can’t do anything to embarrass them anymore.”
Yin Hui was taken aback and asked in a low voice, “Have you told Feng Teng everything?”
Liao Qiuniang nodded, the haze of the past no longer in her eyes, replaced by an unmistakable sweetness. “I didn’t want to lie to him. I made it clear when he came to propose.”
That sweetness was naturally caused by Feng Teng’s genuine affection.
Knowing the details, Yin Hui felt happy for Liao Qiuniang for finding a good husband who genuinely cared for her. She also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since there was no concealment between Liao Qiuniang and Feng Teng, his actions were merely to avenge his fiancée and would not impact their relationship.
To prevent Liao Qiuniang from over-thinking, Yin Hui kept the matter a secret. If Feng Teng wanted to take credit in front of Liao Qiuniang, he could do so himself.
After leaving, Yin Hui went to Jinxiu.
Uncle Zhou had been waiting for a long time and informed Yin Hui about Wang Yunshi’s crippled right leg, “Just the day before yesterday, the Wang family sold their house and moved away with the whole family.”
They feared he may continue to retaliate in the future.
The Wang family, intimidated, was uncertain of Yin Wen’s future plans. With millions of taels of the Yin family property at stake, Yin Hui speculated that even if her uncle’s family was afraid of Feng Teng, they would not willingly leave.
Yin Wen was not known for timidity.
However daring he was, would he risk seeking revenge on the Feng family?
People don’t typically confront officials, and the Feng family had the right to employ guards. Moreover, Feng Teng himself was highly skilled in martial arts. Yin Wen had no chance at all, forcing him to swallow his anger.
Yin Hui only hoped that when her grandfather returned and learned about Yin Wen’s physical condition, he would not be too disheartened.
