It was not until the third day that I discovered that Feng Jianyi had disappeared. September and October are the flowering seasons for hibiscus.

Feng Jianyi once bought a garden and planted hibiscus flowers for her. Whenever the hibiscus flowers bloomed, they would go to the garden to appreciate the flowers, play the zither and the Chinese harp in harmony under the moon and in front of the flowers, and they would envy the mandarin ducks instead of the immortals.

This time the hibiscus flowers were in bloom, and they had agreed to go and enjoy the flowers together. But she waited in the garden for a long time, but no one showed up.

The maid Mu Zhu said, "I will go and see if Master Feng is delayed by something."

Mu Furong's eyes flashed with disappointment, "No need, let's go back."

They had an argument over Gu Hanzhou's matter and hadn't seen each other for a long time.

She just thought he was still angry. Every time they quarreled in the past, he would lower his head to coax her after he had gotten angry. She thought it would be the same this time.

Just as she was about to leave, Ah Cheng came. Ah Cheng was one of his maids and also his right-hand man in business.

Ah Cheng greeted her, "Meet Deputy Commander Mu."

"Miss Acheng, you don't have to be so polite." She said politely, "Did he miss coming because of something?"

Ah Cheng looked at the hibiscus flowers in full bloom in the garden and said, "Now that the young master has left, I will take care of all the business and affairs in Xiangchu from now on."

Her expression changed. She reached out and plucked a hibiscus flower, holding it tightly. "Where have you been? When will you be back?"

"I don't know." Ah Cheng shook his head. "Young Master has always been content with what he has. The Feng family has businesses all over the world. He can live well wherever he goes."

Mu Furong's heart turned cold, but she still didn't give up and asked, "Will he come back?"

"If you come across a scene or place you like, you may stop there for a while and then continue on your way."

It meant that he would not come back. She never thought that this would be the final ending between them. He left so suddenly, without even coming to see her for the last time or saying goodbye.

"It turns out that all men are liars!"

Ah Cheng said calmly, "Deputy Commander Mu should know how much the young master has supported you over the years. He has never done you any wrong, but you have been using him all the time."

"The young master is a man as quick as the wind. He is able to stay in Xiangchu for so long for you and indulge you for so long. This is the greatest love he can give you."

"You can hate him for not staying with you until the end, but you can't say he never loved you."

Mu Furong felt her heart throb with pain, and asked with a frosty face, "Did he leave any words for me?"

"No, the young master has always been free and easy. He is the kind of person who will not linger after he decides to end it."

Having said what needed to be said, Asheng left.

Hibiscus said, "I want to be alone for a while."

After the maids left, she looked at the hibiscus flowers in full bloom in the garden and raised her head to hold back her tears.

How could she not be moved when she was loved by a man like that? But she couldn't let go of her obsession and ambition, and was unwilling to travel the world with him.

Feng Jianyi regards the four seas as his home and wanders around the world. He has seen too many landscapes and too many joys and sorrows. He will never stay for anyone forever, a man like the wind.

He could not understand her ambition, nor could he agree with her attempt to seize power, so he cruelly withdrew his love and left.

Hibiscus held back her tears, threw one pink hibiscus flower after another on the ground, then stepped on them hard and walked away.

"You were the one who provoked me first, and you were the first to leave me... Feng Jianyi, your love is nothing but this."

It turns out that love and men are not reliable, only the power in one's hands is the most real.

When she reached the door, she turned around and took one last look at the hibiscus flowers in the garden. She was afraid that she would never come here again.

The garden is full of hibiscus flowers, but the person who accompanied her to appreciate the flowers is already far away.

Mu Furong drank too much in the evening, and her younger brother Mu Qianmo had already heard about Feng Jianyi's departure.

Seeing her drunken appearance, he said bluntly, "I have always felt that the best ending is for you to follow him and live a happy life as a couple of gods and goddesses."

"Haha... no matter how good the ending is, it's meaningless if it's not what I want." Mu Furong drunkenly slumped on the table, "Even if I could do it again a thousand times, I would not regret my choice."

Mu Qianmo felt that even though they were siblings, he still didn't understand her, "Do you really want to join forces with Gu Hanzhou? Have you thought about the consequences?"

"It's just a matter of who wins and who loses." She said with a scorching gaze, "I think I was born to fight for power and never stop pursuing it."

She chose to join the Phoenix Army because she had heard too many stories about Gu Mingyue and the Phoenix Army. In a sense, she admired Gu Mingyue, so she wanted to join the Phoenix Army.

She even thought that if the Phoenix Army created by Gu Mingyue could finally flourish and reach the pinnacle of power in her hands, it would be a good story.

Who knew that Fang Li was such a stubborn person, firmly controlling the core of the Phoenix Army, so she could only take it slow.

What made her even more helpless was that she didn't expect that after many years, Gu Mingyue was gone and Jiang Xue Ning came. It was even very likely that the two were the same person, so Fang Li surrendered easily.

This also made her determined to seize power. Gu Mingyue could do it, Jiang Xue Ning could do it, and she, Mu Furong, could do it too.

Mu Furong thinks that she is no worse than anyone else, and she wants to join the battle to dominate the world!

Mu Qianmo smiled bitterly, "Mom is right, you are a born ambitious person, no one can stop you from moving forward."

Mu Furong smiled and asked, "Do you also think I'm crazy?"

"No, I hope you win." Mu Qianmo held her hand and said seriously, "As your brother and family member, I sincerely hope that you win and get what you want."

"That's good…"

Mu Qianmo sighed, "It's just that the opponent you chose is the King of Xiang, so you really can't take it lightly."

"She's very powerful, I know that." She whispered softly, "I will be very careful and I will win, just like every time before."

She was originally just the daughter of a concubine in the Mu family, but now the mistress of the Mu family is the former concubine, and she has become the actual person in power.

She won every step of the way, including entering the Phoenix Army and securing the position of deputy commander, and she will continue to win this time.

Mu Qianmo didn't want to spoil her fun, and hoped she could win more than anyone else, but he had to soberly pour cold water on her, "What if you lose?"

She looked up at the moon in the sky, and after a while she said, "That's also possible. Qian Mo, are you afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid." He said with a firm look, "Sis has always protected me since I was a child, so no matter what choice you make, I will accompany you to the end."

"It's just other people, please consider it."

"Hahaha, other people really shouldn't pay the price for my ambition." Mu Furong's eyes turned red with laughter. "I will make arrangements for my family, don't worry."

She was destined to walk this road alone, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Meeting some people and walking together for a while is already the best ending.

Let this end here.
