Chapter 302 How does your sister treat you?
The inner residence of Feng’s family, the Vice Minister of War in the capital.
The eldest prince's concubine Feng Yuyan was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously at this moment.
Not long after, Feng Yucai hurried into the yard.
As he walked, he asked, "Why did my sister call me back so urgently?"
Before he could even find his feet, Feng Yuyan rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Did something happen outside? Why are the servants in the house so flustered?"
Feng Yucai's expression changed slightly, but he regained his composure in an instant.
He feigned composure and replied, "Sister, look at what you said. What could possibly happen? There's a prince's concubine living in the mansion now, and you're pregnant with the royal family. Naturally, the servants will be a little nervous."
However, Feng Yuyan didn't believe this. She shook her head and retorted, "That's not right! When I first returned to my parents' home, these servants weren't like this. In the past few days, the way they looked at me has become clearly wrong. There must be something fishy going on!"
Feng Yucai angrily glared at the people serving in Feng Yuyan's room, his eyes so sharp that they seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls.
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Sister, when you first returned to your parents' home, the baby was still very young, so the servants naturally just treated you as a young lady who had come home temporarily to stay for a while. They all thought you were still the unmarried young lady. Now that you're three months along and your pregnancy is starting to show, they've finally realized that you're carrying a royal heir. After all, any negligence or inadequate care would be a serious crime, costing them their lives! That's why they're so cautious and careful."
After hearing this, Feng Yuyan's face was filled with suspicion. She lowered her voice and asked softly in an uncertain tone, "Is it really...is it really like you said?"
Feng Yucai nodded without hesitation and replied with a firm face, "That's right, sister. I'm your biological brother who you've watched grow up. How could I possibly lie to you?"
After hearing this, Feng Yuyan seemed to have finally made up his mind.
She bit her lip and said firmly, "My child is now three months old and the pregnancy is stable. I want to go back to Tanzhou. Please take me back."
When Feng Yucai heard this, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
After finally coming to his senses, he stammered, "Sister... When my brother-in-law left, he said he would send someone to pick you up after a while. If I rashly send you back to Tanzhou now, what if we get lost along the way? How about this? I'll write a letter to my brother-in-law and send it to Tanzhou to ask him what his plans are and what the specific arrangements are."
Feng Yuyan clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and said anxiously, "No, I can't wait any longer! Fei'er is still waiting for me in Tanzhou. She has never been away from me for so long since she was little. If I'm not by her side, she will definitely be scared."
Feng Yucai, standing nearby, raised his voice upon hearing this. "Is Fei'er the only one on your mind? Why can't you think more about the child in your belly? The reason you came back was because your pregnancy wasn't looking good. After all this time of recuperation, you've finally seen some improvement, and now you're going to do this again. The capital is hundreds of miles away from Tanzhou, and the journey is exhausting. How can the child in your belly withstand such hardship?"
Feng Yuyan's eyes instantly turned red, tears welling up in them. She choked back her words, "This isn't my first time pregnant and having a child, so I'm well aware of my physical condition. Besides, it's okay for us to just take it easy on the way. But if we stay in the capital, I'll feel like I'm being scratched by a cat's claws. I'll be so anxious."
In fact, only Feng Yuyan herself knew best. Although she had a strong reaction during pregnancy and severe morning sickness, it was actually not a big deal.
It was just that the eldest prince loved her too much. He thought about how she was in Tanzhou when she was pregnant with her first child, and her mother was far away in the capital, unable to visit and take care of her.
So when she was pregnant and was in the capital, the eldest prince insisted that she move back to the palace so that her mother could spend more time with her.
Seeing his sister's slightly red eyes, Feng Yucai's originally tough attitude softened instantly.
He whispered, "Sister, are you feeling bored staying at home all day? How about I get a troupe of opera singers to come to our house and sing some songs to cheer you up?"
However, Feng Yuyan just shook his head slightly and replied slowly: "You know I've never had any interest in opera since I was a child."
Hearing this, Feng Yu sighed helplessly and continued, "Sister, as long as you tell me what you want to do, I will agree to all your requests except for sending you back to Tanzhou."
When Feng Yuyan heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Is anything really possible?"
Feng Yucai nodded without hesitation.
Feng Yuyan said, "Okay, I want to go for a walk on the street."
Unexpectedly, Feng Yu just opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally shook his head and refused: "No."
This sudden rejection was like a bucket of cold water poured over Feng Yuyan's head. She immediately felt like a deflated ball. "This won't work, that won't work either. I might as well just go back to Tanzhou. If you won't send me back, I can just go alone!"
Seeing his sister so angry, Feng Yucai hurriedly frowned and explained anxiously: "Sister, it's not that I don't want to take you out, it's really that Daddy gave the order first."
Feng Yuyan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "Why doesn't Daddy let me go out? Is there something really serious happening out there?"
Feng Yucai shook his head like a rattle, muttering non-stop, "No, absolutely not! It's Daddy who's afraid that something might happen to you if you go out, so he doesn't allow you to go out!"
"Then why don't you take me out secretly, just like when you were a kid I took you out to play secretly."
However, Feng Yucai shook his head even faster, so fast that an afterimage seemed to appear. He replied with a look of horror, "No, no, if Daddy knew about this, he would definitely kill me!"
Seeing this, Feng Yuyan gently took Feng Yucai's hand and asked softly, "Yucai, tell me, how does your sister treat you on a daily basis?"
