Chapter 1019 She Needs Him
Grandpa Feng looked at him with loving eyes, "The past is the past. As long as Ruan is always my granddaughter, that's enough. The Ruan in front of us is safe and healthy, which is more important than anything else. There's nothing in life that you can't get through. Living well is better than anything else."
"Everyone who is born will suffer. After suffering comes sweetness. The saying 'No pain, no gain' is the truth."
Grandpa Feng continued, “My maternal grandfather’s body has already reached his neck. In a few years, his entire body will be buried in the ground. But I don’t think it’s that important, because my maternal grandfather lived a life without regrets. I have no fame, money, or power. Does that mean my life is imperfect? I’ve always believed that I have everything. I’m content. I have no other desires. I can even help others beyond my means. I don’t need others to flatter me. Those are useless things.”
Grandpa Feng held Jiang Fenghua's hand and said, "People should know how to be content. God has been quite good to our family and to my daughter Ruan. No matter if I go to heaven or hell in the future, I will go and pay my respects to God in person."
She smiled slightly, "Ruanruan has remembered everything Grandfather said."
The Feng family has done everything in their power to help Yuzhou overcome its difficulties. Old Master Feng has been particularly dedicated, willing to spend all his money to save everyone.
He said, “Ruan Ruan is a wise person. The world is in the hands of the Emperor, and also in the hands of the Empress. The title of ‘Emperor and Empress’ seems to weigh a thousand pounds on your shoulders. Whether the people are doing well or not does not depend solely on the Emperor. He needs more eyes, ears, hands and feet to keep the world in his grasp. More importantly, he must have a wife who fully supports him. Everything must be done with the people first in order to be worthy of their calling you Your Majesty.”
Jiang Fenghua was deeply moved by these words. Jiang Jinyan must have said something to her maternal grandfather, who was trying to comfort her. Her only wish in this life was to hold onto power tightly, no matter the cost.
My maternal grandfather meant that she should give away everything she had received, as that would be her good fortune.
After Grandpa Feng left, Jiang Fenghua stared at Xie Shang on the bed for a long time. "Someone as good-looking as you must live a long and healthy life. Wake up soon. We all need you. I need you too."
Xie Shang lay quietly on the bed, motionless, no matter how much Jiang Fenghua said to him.
Just then, she heard Qin Yunyan's commotion outside, "I want to go back, I don't want to stay here anymore, it's too scary."
Jiang Fenghua came to her side, and she became even more agitated. "Empress Jiang, I will not compete with you for the Emperor. You can have someone send me back to Shengjing or Quanzhou. I don't want to stay in this wretched place."
Jiang Fenghua teased her deliberately, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Don't you also want to be reborn and enter the palace as an empress?"
"Liar! Xiao Shang is a big liar! He doesn't have any rebirth magic at all! The Emperor is about to die, how can I be the Empress Dowager? I advise you to leave Xichuan quickly. Staying here will only lead to your death. I don't want to die." Qin Yunyan thought that saving her life was the most important thing. If she lost her life, she would lose everything.
When Jiang Fenghua heard her mention Xie Shang, her expression changed, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. Everyone knew that Xie Shang's identity could not be exposed, but Qin Yunyan was the only one who spoke without restraint.
She said in a deep voice, "There is no emperor here. The emperor is in the palace. Remember that. If I hear any rumors about the emperor outside, I will not let you off the hook."
Qin Yunyan was now like a fish on a chopping board, completely at everyone's mercy. She said, "I've remembered this. I won't say a word. Even if I return to Shengjing, I will keep my mouth shut."
"So you can't leave yet, you have to stay and continue doing the work of a maid," Jiang Fenghua said calmly.
Qin Yunyan wanted to immediately retort that she was the one who had been kidnapped and that she had almost been fed to the crows.
Jiang Fenghua continued, "You don't have to work, that's fine too. I don't keep idle people. It would be good to send you back to Xichuan to feed the crows. Someone, come here!"
When Qin Yunyan saw her calling for help, she quickly said, "I am willing to be a maid, please don't throw me to feed the crows, Your Highness."
Jiang Fenghua didn't want to waste time arguing with her and said directly, "Get to work! If you want to live, behave yourself. If you dare to have any crooked thoughts, I won't be responsible if you die."
"This servant dares not be disobedient." After Qin Yunyan regained consciousness, she learned that they had rescued her along with them when they fled Xichuan, but Zhang Yumo did not come back with them. She had probably become food for crows and been eaten by them by now!
She was actually quite grateful that Jiang Fenghua hadn't abandoned her. They both had dreams, but she hadn't dreamt of anything. In order to survive, she started trying to build a relationship with Jiang Fenghua.
She caught up with Jiang Fenghua: "I heard from them that a thousand years ago my name was Danji Ayan and your name was Danji Aruan. We were sisters. I never imagined we had such a relationship."
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "Who told you that?"
Qin Yunyan was stunned. "Actually, no one told me. I just overheard your conversation in Xichuan and guessed it. Is that old hag really our mother? Has she really lived for a thousand years?"
"She is your mother. You can go to her and ask her to teach you how to live for a thousand years." Jiang Fenghua spoke to her with barbs. She had saved Qin Yunyan but not Jiang Ruochu's mother. She didn't know how to tell Xiao Chu about this. Would Xiao Chu blame her for losing her mother when she grew up?
Qin Yunyan dared not go to her; even seeing her appearance was terrifying. But how had the old hag lived for a thousand years? Had she taken some kind of elixir of immortality?
Zhang Yumo didn't come out. Could it be that she was also after the old witch's secret to immortality?
Zhang Yumo is also a reborn person. How many more times will she be reborn? At least give the opportunity to others who are not favored by God!
At this moment, Jiang Jinyan returned with Long Aotian, the city lord of Red Maple City.
Long Aotian appeared to be around forty years old. When he saw Jiang Fenghua, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
Jiang Jinyan took the initiative to introduce, "This is my sister Jiang Ruan. Ruan Ruan, this is Long Aotian, the city lord of Red Maple City. Red Maple City is able to maintain its stability largely thanks to his protection."
Jiang Jinyan only said that he was an official in the court and revealed his identity as the Minister of Revenue, without revealing Jiang Fenghua's true identity.
Jiang Fenghua, who was dressed in the traditional Chinese updo style, took the initiative to greet everyone.
Long Aotian also cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Jiang Jinyan added, "Red Maple City is the closest city to Xichuan. City Lord Long is relatively familiar with Xichuan, so there are some things we need to ask City Lord Long for advice on."
Jiang Jinyan gave Long Aotian a general account of the assassin organization hidden in Xichuan.
Lord Long also wanted to find out the secret of Xichuan. He was also very troubled because the people of Red Maple City would often get lost and wander into Xichuan, never to return.
After many strange things happened, he ordered the city lord to permanently block the road leading to Xichuan.
