Her son had probably thought things through. Madam Bai’s face was filled with relief.
“Then wait for Lord Hou’s 50th birthday celebration. Your mother and I will go to the Lord Hou’s Estate to discuss this matter.” Old Master Bai was also surprised, but he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Five days later, Meng Yuntian returned.
Everyone in the manor was waiting for her at the door. First Madam was dressed in a gorgeous gown with heavy makeup and an expectant look on her face.
Sitting on the horse, Meng Yuntian looked valiant and majestic.
A pair of eyes swept across the crowd. His gaze was sharp and powerful.
However, when he looked at Meng Fuying, his gaze instantly softened. With a leap, he jumped off the horse. With a few quick steps, he charged straight towards Meng Fuying.
Meng Yuntian’s love for her was self-evident.
“Greetings, my lord.” First Madam bowed gently when Meng Yuntian walked past First Madam.
However, Meng Yuntian did not stop in his tracks at all.
“Father is finally back.” Meng Fuying was also somewhat moved. She had no parents since she was young, but now, she finally had a father. Furthermore, he was a parent who doted on her to the bone. How could she not be moved?
“Fu’er has really recovered.” Meng Yuntian’s body stiffened. There was obvious excitement and gratification in his loving eyes.
He had already received news that Fu’er had recovered. He still didn’t quite believe it. Now that he saw such an obedient Fu’er, he was really too happy.
“That’s right. Fu’er has really recovered. In the future, she won’t make Father worry anymore,” said Meng Fuying with a gentle smile. She was really very excited about this happy reunion.
“Good, good, good, very good.” Meng Yuntian repeatedly said it, his face filled with excitement. “Thank the Heavens for loving Yuntian so much and returning me a healthy daughter.”
Seeing his excitement, Meng Fuying’s heart felt warm.
First Madam’s eyes were filled with resentment. Lord Hou had come back, but he didn’t even look at her. What’s more, he didn’t even acknowledge her greeting. That was so embarrassing!
In his heart, there was only that dead woman and that silly girl.
Meng Ruxue’s hands, which were hidden under her sleeves, clenched tightly. In the past, when Meng Fuying was foolish, her father only doted on that fool. Now that he was fine, it was even more…
No, she was indignant. Why should that fool take all the advantages? She wanted…
After Meng Yuntian returned, other than attending court and entering the palace, he stayed by Meng Fuying’s side and told her some interesting stories of his battles. He also listened as Meng Fuying told him some jokes from time to time.
After interacting with her for a few days, he realized that not only was his Fu’er not stupid anymore, she had also become extremely intelligent. Furthermore, she handled things in an orderly manner. Sometimes, even he admired her.
He felt even more touched. The heavens were indeed kind to him and even gave him such an outstanding daughter.
In the blink of an eye, it was Meng Yuntian’s 50th birthday.
50 years old was already considered a milestone that called for a grand birthday celebration. In addition, it was Meng Fuying and Meng Ruxue’s birthday, so the preparations were especially grand.
Early in the morning, Qing Zhu helped her change into the clothes specially made for her by the Empress Dowager.
However, perhaps because she was used to it or because she had forgotten about it, she did not put on makeup for her. She only helped her put on a beautiful headpiece.
Meng Fuying was stunned for a moment, but she did not pay too much attention to it. After all, this person’s skin was so dark that it was useless no matter how much makeup was applied.
It was still early, not yet time for the birthday greetings, but many guests had already arrived, especially the ministers of the court, who had all arrived early with generous gifts.
Meng Fuying had never liked places that were too noisy. She was alone in the back garden, admiring the flowers. She did not even have Qing Zhu with her.
That girl was extremely obedient now and didn’t dare to disobey her at all. She probably understood that it was impossible for her to be bullied now, so she didn’t follow her since she didn’t want her to follow.
It was spring now, and flowers were blooming everywhere in the garden. It was indeed very likable.
At this moment, everyone was gathered in the main hall, so they naturally wouldn’t come to this place. Therefore, she was the only one enjoying such a beautiful place.
Looking at the butterflies and bees weaving through the flowers, Meng Fuying became even more interested. She thought of Sa Dingding’s song “The Freely Walking Flowers” could not help but hum softly.
Suddenly, she saw a type of flower that was filled with bees. She couldn’t help but be stunned. It seemed that this kind of flower attracted bees very much. What kind of flower was it? She didn’t know what kind of special thing was inside. Curious, she scratched it gently. She wanted to take it back and study it carefully.
“Ha, you ugly freak, you actually don’t know shame and are comparing yourself to flowers. You’re really insulting these beautiful flowers.” Suddenly, a mocking voice came from behind her.
Meng Fuying’s eyes sank slightly as a trace of coldness quickly hid in the depths of her eyes. Although she did not want to cause trouble, she would definitely not allow others to bully her and humiliate her like this.
And this man’s mouth was really vicious.
However, she did not know who this man was. After all, it was her father’s birthday today, so she naturally could not go overboard because her father doted on her very much.
“This prince is asking you a question. Ugly freak, you are actually pretending to be deaf.” Without hearing her answer, that man’s voice once again angrily sounded.
A cold smile appeared on Meng Fuying’s lips, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes. This man called her an ugly freak, but he was cursing very happily. She didn’t care what kind of bullshit prince he was.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the pollen in her hands. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with laughter. Ha, aren’t you feeling good just humiliating me? In a while, I’ll make you feel even better. I promise I’ll make you feel good enough.
“Fu’er pays her respects to the Ninth Prince.” Meng Fuying slowly turned around. When she saw that it was the Ninth Prince, Xuanyuan Mo, she bowed slightly. He looked quite decent, but his mouth was too vicious.
When she bowed slightly and saw a sachet on his waist, the smile on her lips became even more obvious. With a slight movement of her fingers, the sachet landed in her hands.
“Hmph, ugly freak, get lost quickly. Don’t dirty my eyes. Every time I see you, I can’t eat for three days.” Xuanyuan Mo’s words became even more vicious.
Even if she wasn’t stupid now, she was still an ugly freak. Just looking at her made him feel disgusted.
Meng Fuying’s lips once again curled into a cold smile. She wanted to see just how arrogant he would be later.
She quickly put the pollen into his sachet and hung the sachet back onto his waist.
Then, she walked forward with light footsteps, but the smile on her lips was a little evil..
