Du's and Hua Ruoyu had hoped for a huge fire, but it did not wake up even when dawn arrived. The quietness at the Cold Smoke Garden made them feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Therefore, as the sky slowly brightened, Du's and Hua Ruoyu, in the name of greeting to the Great General and the new Matriarch, arrived at the front courtyard. Hearing this sound, he hurriedly walked in.
"General, what should we do?" When we were betrothed, Yan Er rejected her on the spot, and didn't pay any attention to dowry or whatever, I just felt that it was inappropriate, I didn't think that she would actually escape from the marriage! " Auntie Du panicked.
Hua Ruoyu was a junior, so she silently stood at the side, appearing extremely respectful and sensible.
"Escape from marriage?!"
Hearing that, Feng Wei could not help but regret that he had neglected his daughter for the sake of marriage.
"Hey!" He slapped the table. "If she didn't run away from the wedding, why did she avoid the wedding procession? "It's all my fault. As her father, he forced her to marry him. Only then did she leave with a bad temper …"
Murong Yi saw that Feng Wei's face was filled with worry, and supported his hand: "Husband, Yan Er knows the importance of this. She said that she will enter the capital early, and will definitely arrive on time.
Auntie Du sighed, "Sigh … Yan Er was stubborn, even the generals could not control him. There is no escape from marriage now. It is only a single thought on her part, and we can no longer control it. The pitiful His Highness King Yu had fallen for Yan Er and if she were to be married off with five kilometers of red makeup on, wouldn't Yan Er's willfulness be enough to hurt her heart? "We can never tell this to the groom …"
Auntie Du had been by Feng Wei's side for more than ten years and knew her character like the back of her hand. She was well aware of Feng Wei's worries and she was also aware of Feng Wei's loyalty to him.
Even if Murong Yi alone believed that Feng Ningyan would not escape the marriage, she could not let anything go wrong with the marriage. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Feng Family to escape the crime of breaking the engagement, and even Feng Ningyan would not be spared.
The Auntie Du continued: "Since His Highness King Yu isn't here, we can let him get on the carriage as a bride. With the cover covering over his head, it was easy to fool him. As long as we can find Yan Er in time and send her to the capital, it will not delay the auspicious period. "
Auntie Du thought carefully, her words were convincing.
Feng Wei immediately ordered for his subordinates to secretly track Feng Ningyan's whereabouts.
Who would be the one to take Feng Ningyan's place?
The Auntie Du was almost done. When Feng Wei asked, she turned and pulled Hua Ruoyu over.
"Substitute bodies are more important. Naturally, you have to be careful and reserved in order to not reveal your identity. This one in front of him was the most suitable! When Yu'er grew up, it was time to repay the grace given to her by the Feng Family. After raising her troops for a thousand days, it was time to use her troops for a period of time … "
Hearing that, Murong Yi looked down and smiled.
The Auntie Du truly had some ability to scheme, she was obviously plotting something, but it seemed like it was for the good of the Feng Family. No wonder she was trusted by Feng Wei, and was able to stay in the General's Estate for all these years.
Murong Yi was a businessman who was used to taking one step at a time, seeing the tenth step at a time.
Hua Ruoyu had always adored the King Yu. Although her plan to drug him had been ruined by Feng Ningyan, she did not give up.
If Feng Ningyan arrived as scheduled, Hua Ruoyu would owe her a favor. Not only did she not lose anything, she could also let the King Yu see that she was loyal, gain good impressions, and seek for more;
If Feng Ningyan really escaped, the matter of Hua Ruoyu getting married for him would be exposed, and her reputation would be tarnished.
But she was the niece of General Feng Wei, whom the emperor relied heavily on. With Feng Family and Ning Nanjun's backing, the King Yu might even accept Hua Ruoyu as her disciple and give her a name.
Murong Yi knew of Auntie Du's conspiracy, but she maintained her composure and did not stop him.
"The servants praised Du's for his shrewdness. After seeing him today, he had truly thought through everything meticulously and insightfully."
Auntie Du did not expect Murong Yi to agree with her plan. She did not understand and pretended to be gentle, bowing to him.
"Madam, please forgive me. This lowly concubine was truly worried at the moment, so I spoke too rudely in front of you. Please punish me, Madam …"
Murong Yi supported her for a bit, then laughed: "As long as it's for the good of Feng Family, why should we sisters be so formal?"
Seeing that his new wife and concubine were getting along well, Feng Wei finally relaxed a little and tidied up his military attire, and went out to receive the bride.
