Chapter 1200: Suspicious That Feng Yunsheng Was Not His Daughter
Feng Tianlan coaxed Feng Shu gently and patiently before she finally managed to soothe her. After Azurite finished her examination, she shook her head helplessly. “She’s suffering from a mental disorder. If we are going to cure it completely, we need to know what’s hurt her so badly. For now, I can only prescribe a mild medicine to calm her down and aid the recovery process.”
Feng Tianlan murmured in agreement and looked sadly at Feng Shu. “We can only do this now.”
No matter what became of her mother, she would always be her family, so Feng Tianlan was going to protect her.
Ji You came over and saw Feng Tianlan gently covering Feng Shu with a blanket. Just like how one would soothe a child, she gently patted the blanket to coax her to sleep. It was a surprising sight because Feng Shu had never let anyone go near her after she went mad.
“How did my father die?” Feng Tianlan looked up. The tender look in her eyes completely disappeared and they turned ice cold.
“What?” Ji You did not understand who she was referring to and looked at her in doubt.
“Shen Borui.”
Ji You because even more confused. “You...”
What’s going on? Feng was her surname but she was not a child of Feng Shu. The situation suddenly became confusing.
“I am Shen Qingdai. I passed away four years ago, and my soul was reincarnated into Feng Tianlan’s body. If you don’t believe what I’ve said, you can run a check in Dongshu Nation. It will be easy to find out,” Feng Tianlan said plainly.
Ji You remained silent for a moment and soon understood what she was saying. It was the use of another body to come back to life and the body belonged to Feng Tianlan, but the soul and consciousness belonged to Shen Qingdai!
It was such a weird occurrence, but he was more curious about why she and Feng Yunsheng looked so similar since they did not come from the same womb.
“I was still a teenager then, and had not been appointed in court, so I do not know a lot of the secrets in the palace. But it was rumored that Shen Borui suspected that Princess Yunsheng was not his biological daughter and wanted to take revenge, so he had an affair with a maidservant. The Late Emperor found out about this later and ordered their deaths,” Ji You spoke thoughtfully.
Feng Tianlan frowned. “He suspected that Feng Yunsheng was not his daughter?”
Actually, it was pretty weird that Feng Yunsheng didn’t resemble her parents even though she was born by their mother. Instead, she looked like Feng Tianlan who was not related to the family at all.
Ji You answered “yes” to her question and then told her whatever he knew.
That year, Feng Shu had been forcefully brought back to Tianfeng Nation. Thus, for the sake of a pure bloodline, the former Empress forced Feng Shu to marry and consummate with a cousin of the current Emperor. But Shen Borui started a commotion outside and wanted to barge into the palace. Feng Shu also threatened to kill herself.
When Shen Borui managed to fight his way in, Feng Shu had already fainted and her clothes were in a mess. She got pregnant soon after that. During the pregnancy, Shen Borui treated his beloved wife with the utmost care. However, when Feng Yunsheng was born, he realized that she didn’t have any of his features at all. At that moment, he felt terrible but did not say anything and the rumors started spreading after that.
After listening to what Ji You said, Feng Tianlan said with a firm and cold tone, “That’s impossible! My father is not such a person. There must be something fishy going on.”
Even though she was still young then, Feng Tianlan knew what kind of a man her father had been. Her father was a righteous man and he really loved her mother. She didn’t know if that was really what happened, but knowing what her father felt for her mother, he would feel extremely upset on her behalf and wouldn’t have had an affair like that.
“These were the rumors from back then. I do not know a lot and I do not know if this is the truth. But Feng Shu went mad shortly after that,” Ji You answered respectfully with his head bowed.
Feng Tianlan gritted her teeth and said coldly, “I will investigate and find out exactly what happened!”
