“Sister, why are you blushing? Are you alright?” Feng Xiaoqi asked anxiously.
Feng Wu took a deep breath and was going to reply when Feng Xiaoqi said, “Sister, is His Royal Highness the same crown prince that you used to be engaged to?”
Feng Wu was speechless.
Blinking his clear, innocent big eyes, Feng Xiaoqi eyed Feng Wu suspiciously. “So, are you nervous because of him? Sister, are you actually…”
“No!” Feng Wu cut him off immediately, clenching her fists to demonstrate how resolute she was.
Feng Xiaoqi looked even more suspicious.
On the other side, her beautiful mother was still holding onto Feng Wu’s sleeve, all teary-eyed. She looked so delicate and vulnerable that it would pain anyone to see her that way.
“Mum, what’s wrong?” Feng Wu asked her weeping mother, very concerned.
With her fair, smooth hands, the beautiful lady caressed Feng Wu’s hair, face, and clothes in turn. Tears rolled down her cheeks and dampened her clothes.
Feng Wu felt even more sorry for her. “Mum, what’s going on?”
“It’s all my fault.” Choking with sobs, the beautiful lady took Feng Wu’s hands. “I’ve failed in my task as a mother. Look, your hair is so dirty and it smells. And your skin, it’s filthy. And your clothes… You’re the fifth daughter of the Feng family, you shouldn’t be wearing such coarse material. It’s a humiliation for someone of your status…”
Her beautiful mother went on, still sobbing. “You’re supposed to dress elegantly, eat nice food, enjoy the finest materials, and smile without showing your teeth like a true, graceful young lady should. But look at you… you’re living as rough as a wild monkey. It just pains me to see you this way…”
Feng Wu rubbed her forehead.
All her mother ever wanted was to make her into the typical young lady of an eminent family who barely ever left her bedchamber. In her mind, that was the only way of living suitable for Feng Wu. However… that was never going to happen.
“Come, let’s prep you. You cannot walk around looking like that.” Crown prince or not, her beautiful mother couldn’t care less. Feng Wu was all she cared about — well, maybe Feng Xiaoqi would pop into her head every now and then.
Feng Wu was eager to wash off the evidence she had brought back from Frozen Forest as well. Otherwise, Jun Linyuan would definitely pick up something with his sharp eyes.
Hence, for the very first time, Feng Wu nodded happily at her mother’s request. “Sure!”
The beautiful lady’s biggest hobby was to dress Feng Wu up. Consequently, in the last five years, she had spent all her spare time making clothes for Feng Wu all by herself.
One had to admit that when it came to getting someone polished up, the lady was an expert.
Feng Wu didn’t want the whole shebang, but she eventually succumbed to her mother’s tears… Anyway, she had already come up with an idea to repulse Jun Linyuan.
When Feng Wu cleaned herself up and came out in splendid attire… Feng Xiaoqi was the first to express his astonishment.
“O.M.G! You…” Feng Xiaoqi covered his mouth in shock, his eyes popping out. “Who are you? Are you really my sister? Really?”
Feng Wu usually never put any effort into what she wore, and so far all her mother’s attempts to dress her up had failed. Hence, despite her stunning beauty, other people only saw her walking around barefaced and in the plainest clothes.
However, now that Feng Wu was rigged out in her best, she looked stunning —
