Chapter 137: Following Along
As they spoke, Yunxu finished framing the painting on the lantern, held it up to inspect it from all sides, and asked, "Miss, should we use the fluorescent powder on it as well?"
"No need. Keep the fluorescent powder safe. I have other uses for it."
"Yes, I will place it in the treasure cabinet. The cabinet has a small lock, so it won’t be lost."
Yunxu clutched the box in her hand. The box sent to her older brother was delivered by Lamei, and the box sent to her second brother was delivered by Xiuqiu. The box she held, however, was specially prepared for the Wen family.
Thinking back to her past life, Wen Mengsheng had also given her fluorescent powder to make flower hairpins, which unexpectedly led her to discover something crucial.
It was destined in the dark; it was this discovery that gave her the leverage to bring down the Wen family.
She had originally planned to ask her fourth aunt to request some from the palace, but unexpectedly, Xu family’s elder sister delivered it directly to her door. Truly, it came effortlessly. Looking at the painting on the lantern, her smile grew even more satisfied.
The Lantern Festival arrived in the blink of an eye.
The three Feng siblings and the eldest sister-in-law, together with the two younger brothers, visited Yunhai Courtyard to bring Feng Yunhe and Feng Yunli along.
Feng Yunhe, being young and with a good constitution, along with the miraculous medicine from Doctor Zhang, was almost fully recovered. Although he still had some scars, his bond with Feng Yunli had grown stronger during this time. Under Feng Yunhe's guidance, Feng Yunli had also become more sensible than before.
Otherwise, he would have been clamoring to go along, but now he sweetly said, "Father, Mother, Second Uncle, and Aunt, have fun! My elder brother and I will stay home and take care of Grandfather and Grandmother, so don’t worry."
Such a young child talking about taking care made everyone laugh. Feng Jinlin patted his round little head and curiously asked, "How will you take care of them?"
Feng Yunli tilted his head to look at his elder brother. This was something his elder brother hadn’t taught him.
Feng Yunhe smiled and considerately explained for him, "Although we are still young and can't help much, my younger brother can make Grandmother happy, and I can accompany Grandfather. Isn’t that also a form of care?"
Madam Feng, seeing her beloved grandsons being so clever, pulled them close and praised, "Yes, yes, Yunhe is absolutely right! As long as you two are with us, your grandparents will be happy."
Seeing her smiling face, Feng Yunli clapped his hands and spun around like a top, proudly showing off.
There was no denying that blood ties were truly magical. His lively nature indeed bore some resemblance to Feng Jinlin's childhood.
"Alright, then you two take care. When your Second Uncle returns, he will bring you delicious food!"
Hearing the word 'food,' Feng Yunli's eyes lit up, urging everyone to leave quickly so he could soon enjoy the treats.
Since marrying into Dongdu City, Madam Wen had mostly been bedridden or silent, rarely even appearing in the courtyard, let alone strolling around the city.
Listening to the bustling sounds outside, she felt excited sitting in the carriage but was a bit too shy to lift the curtain and look out with Feng Jinxu present.
"When we arrive at Changchun Tower, you can look out from the window. The view is better from up there."
His sudden remark surprised her, but she soon smiled, "I understand."
The carriage swayed gently and soon arrived at Changchun Tower. They happened to meet Xu Mingyue arriving on time. Before they could greet each other, they heard Su Cheng upstairs calling out loudly, "Feng Jinlin, over here!"
Looking up, besides Su Cheng, there was indeed an unfamiliar face, who must be Bai Cousin's future husband, Xiao Mu Qian.
"You got here early."
"Wouldn't it be better to arrive early? Otherwise, all the elegant rooms might be taken."
The group stopped at the entrance of Changchun Tower. It was Madam Wen's first time here, and she looked around with great curiosity.
Feng Jinxu hadn't visited as frequently as Feng Jinlin, but he was familiar enough with the place to confidently lead her forward, introducing everything along the way.
Feng Jinyao exchanged a glance with Feng Jinlin. How had their eldest brother changed so much over the years? This man who used to be so formal was now holding hands in public. It was truly surprising.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Mingyue looked puzzled, but sensing that it wasn't convenient to discuss family matters, she made a joking remark and moved on.
As they started to walk inside, they heard someone call out from behind, "Ah Yao!"
The voice was clear and loud—obviously Bai Siruo. Sure enough, it was her.
Jumping down from the carriage, she ran towards them, but unexpectedly, when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, there was another person inside.
"Elder Sister, wait for me."
It was Bai Sihan!
Feng Jinyao hadn't seen her for many days and almost forgot about her, "She's been very annoying lately, she had to follow me. If I didn't, she would have thrown a tantrum, making it embarrassing for everyone."
Bai Siruo's love and hate for her could really fill half a book. Unfortunately, she was surnamed Bai and couldn't shake it off.
The carriage stopped just in time, and Bai Sihan quickly stepped down from the horse's stool, her face somewhat sorrowful, looking like a small white flower being bullied, which made everyone present very annoyed.
Yet she was oblivious to this, took out a handkerchief, pretended to wipe away tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Han'er grew up in Qiongzhou since childhood and has never seen the bustle of Dongdu City. If Elder Sister hadn't kindly taken me out today, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know what the Lantern Festival looks like."
Bai Siruo was most annoyed by her pitiful appearance, which was just like a white lotus flower, always pretending to be sentimental.
"Oh, you haven't seen much of the bustle? Haven't you been dining with your mother every day recently?"
Bai Siruo was blunt and straightforward. With the continuous troubles in the Feng family, both the upper and lower ranks of the Bai family were distressed.
Yet Shen Shi and Bai Sihan were rarely seen all day long. When they were not eating and drinking at Zhang's house, they were visiting relatives at Wang's house. No one knew what had happened. Both Shen Shi and Bai Sihan had become particularly well-liked. Since the New Year, they had been attending banquets at six or seven homes, each time with more style, much to the displeasure of the eldest aunt.
"Elder Sister is joking. I am a concubine's daughter who has followed my mother out only twice. How can I compare to Elder Sister?"
As she spoke, she still maintained a beautiful appearance, which was enough to make Bai Siruo not want to ignore her, and quickly dragged Feng Jinyao and Xu Mingyue upstairs.
Seeing this, Bai Sihan was really thick-skinned, following up, leaving Feng Jinlin behind.
Glancing meaningfully at this little cousin, it was not easy to tell that she was a figure.
Shaking his head lightly, he followed upstairs as well.
Bai Siruo opened the door without hesitation, but there were already people upstairs. There was a loud bang as she pushed the door open and came in, with an obvious look of displeasure on her face, as if she had been angered, but never thought that when everyone came in, she was stunned.
