Chapter 18: The Young Lady of the Duke's Mansion

With one song after another, one dance after another, the whole birthday party became lively.

"The dancers in the Jade Fairy Pavilion are all professionally trained. Every time they carefully rehearse a dance, there will be people who pay a lot of money to watch it."

"I heard that the dancers of the Jade Fairy Pavilion are also carefully selected. They all have proud figures and beautiful faces. There are even rumors that the Pavilion Master of the Jade Fairy Pavilion has the ability to change his appearance and the art of self-cultivation and body replacement. Therefore, these dancers are all as beautiful as fairies, and their dancing postures are even more pleasing to the eye."

"Oh~ No wonder it's so hard to get a performance at the Jade Fairy Pavilion. The Pavilion Master has such great abilities, so he naturally has to hide his incompetence."

As Jin Yan listened to the conversations of the people around her, she also remembered that Yuxian Pavilion was indeed mentioned in the book.

Those were not just rumors. It was just that the leader of the Jade Immortal Pavilion was good at the art of changing one's appearance. However, this art had a price and would greatly shorten a person's lifespan. Anyone who went to the Jade Immortal Pavilion most likely wanted to make a name for themselves in the world, or had national hatred or family feuds and needed to change their appearance.

Thinking of this, Jin Yan recalled a small episode at Princess Yu’s birthday banquet.

[I remember that a dancer had been persecuted by Yu Jinghuai before, and she deliberately took advantage of such an important day as Princess Yu's birthday banquet to assassinate Yu Jinghuai.]

[In order to protect Yu Jinghuai and prevent the truth from being exposed, the scumbag killed the dancer immediately. ]

[Poor dancer, she was never able to avenge herself until her death, and Yu Jinghuai paid the price he deserved, and could only die with hatred in his heart. ]

After hearing this, Feng Hanyun, who had been drinking quietly, raised her head and took a closer look at the dancers in the center.

Jin Yan supported her chin and thought about the dancer's upcoming attack. She was in no mood to eat anymore.

Feng Hanyun glanced at the food on the table. Jin Yan didn't eat much either. Seeing her looking at the dancers on the stage with a worried look on her face, she thought she was worrying too much.

[Alas, being able to sell one's body to the Jade Immortal Pavilion, regardless of the loss of one's lifespan, in exchange for such a slim chance of winning, is truly worthy of admiration.]

[Alas, if I were not so weak now, I would definitely save that dancer and listen to her story. But I am powerless and cannot do it.]

[It seems that I have to listen to the goddess. I can't just watch these scumbags do evil and I can only watch. ]

Feng Hanyun frowned. She thought carefully about Jin Yan's words. If this really happened, then what she said about herself dying and dragging her master down with her might be true.

The birthday banquet was in full swing and the people toasting started to get drunk. Prince Yu accepted blessings from all the major immortal sects one by one throughout the banquet. Yu Zibo sat there bored for a while before he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed. He was reminded of this many times by Princess Yu.

Yu Zibo felt bored and prepared to go off the stage and walk around. After greeting Princess Yu, he walked down from the main seat and went towards the women that Princess Yu liked.

After talking with his father for a while, Yu Zibo nodded slightly to the woman behind him as a greeting.

This wave really won him favor among many women.

Seeing that the patrol was almost over, Yu Zibo walked over to Feng Chengxuan. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Feng Chengxuan, Yu Zibo asked, "Uncle, I have something to tell you, but I don't know if I should tell you."

Feng Chengxuan smiled and said, "We are all family, but you can talk as you please."

Yu Zibo bowed to Feng Chengxuan and said, "Just now I heard that the daughter of the Duke's Mansion caused a scene at the banquet. But is it my cousin Yutong?"

Feng Chengxuan was chatting with someone outside before, and he really didn't know about this. Feng Chen, who was standing next to him, immediately took over the conversation, "Zi Bo, don't listen to hearsay. Yutong is not the only daughter of the Duke's uncle, and this incident was not done by Yutong."

Yu Zibo looked at Feng Jinghuai, "Is this true? Since I was a child, I have only heard that Yutong is the only daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and I have never heard of anyone else."

Feng Chengxuan looked at Feng Chen and realized that the two of them must have caused some trouble again. He had no choice but to say, "Since they are family, I will not hide it from you. The Duke's Mansion had a daughter before, but she practiced magic and was despised by the righteous. Considering that her biological mother, the former mistress of the Duke's Mansion, was kind by nature, she was not executed on the spot, but she severed all ties with him and exiled her."

"The Duke's Mansion has always been a model of righteousness, but it turned out that it gave birth to a demon cultivator?" Although Yu Zibo was puzzled, he did know one of the demon cultivators. After looking carefully, he found that Feng Chengxuan did look somewhat similar to that woman.

Feng Chengxuan had a slightly ashamed look on his face. "Alas, I am ashamed to say that on the day this girl was born, the sky changed drastically, causing strange phenomena in heaven and earth. If it weren't for the treasure in the Duke's Mansion that could suppress the evil, I'm afraid this girl would bring disaster to the family. Her mother was harmed by her and died during childbirth."

Yu Zibo nodded, "Excuse me, uncle, what is this girl's name?"

"Her surname is from the Duke's Mansion and her name is Hanyun. Perhaps I hope she can be like her mother, gentle and elegant, and become a decent person." Feng Chengxuan was full of emotion. Perhaps he had drunk too much, and he inexplicably began to miss his first wife in his heart.

Yu Zibo silently recited Feng Hanyun's name, and when he thought of that woman, a smile appeared on his face.

However, this smile was very dazzling in Feng Yutong's eyes. She hurried over and said, "Cousin, don't listen to other people's nonsense. It may be that my sister used her status as the Duke's Mansion to spread it widely and ruin the reputation of the Duke's Mansion."

Yu Zibo and Feng Yutong have known each other since childhood, and he thinks he knows Feng Yutong quite well. Since she said so, it is probably what she meant.

However, in Yu Zibo's heart, he felt more and more that the woman was the Feng Hanyun mentioned by Feng Chengxuan.

After thinking for a while, he realized that he had never seen her at the birthday party and didn't know if she had left, so he stood up and said goodbye, "Thank you for telling me, uncle. There are still guests, so I won't bother you anymore."

After Feng Chengxuan nodded, Yu Zibo left the table and went to the next table to continue chatting.

After Yu Zibo left, Feng Yutong pulled Feng Chengxuan's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Dad, why don't you stop my cousin from reminiscing more about the past?"

Feng Chengxuan showed his anger, "Humph, was it you who caused the Duke's daughter to cause a scene at Princess Yu's birthday banquet?"

When Feng Yutong heard this, she dodged and met Feng Chen's gaze. Feng Chen immediately explained, "Master, Yutong is usually well-behaved and sensible, how could she do such a shameful thing? If even you don't believe it, how can you let us mother and daughter deal with it?"

Feng Chengxuan flicked his sleeves and sighed, "Forget it, you two should watch your words and actions, and don't let others catch you. The ruler of Nanyuan is ill and suspicious of others. The prince is still young, and the court is in turmoil. Don't let your quick words give others a handle and endanger the safety of the Duke's Mansion."

Feng Chen said, "I understand."

Feng Yutong also said, "My daughter knows."

Feng Chengxuan thought about it carefully. He knew Feng Hanyun quite well. Since someone spread the news that was unfavorable to the Duke's Mansion, it must not be groundless. He needed to find an opportunity to investigate the matter thoroughly.
