章 63: ‘Wei Hong Zheng’ is Back

Wei Liuying regrouped back with Feng Chun, who had just finished watching performance. Usually, Feng Chun would want to watch performance with her husband, but Wei Hong was busy for the past few days to prepare for the hunt. After all, he had to make sure that the preparation was enough to make sure no accident would happen.

Summer Hunt was the hunt session for students and younger men. The adults would have their turn during Autumn Hunt as it was usually at a further distance away from the capital city and much more dangerous. Their target was not the deer like the youngster but could even be bear or boar.

Feng Chun looked at Wei Liuying, but she didn't say anything and made her way back to the residence. From the way it looked like, she was having a bad mood and tried to vent by having fun all by herself. Some people might be asking question, but Wei Hong's private matter was not their business.

When they returned, Wei Xiao Hua greeted them on the door.

"Madam Feng, do you enjoy your trip?" Wei Xiao Hua asked with a forced smile. She didn't get anything from having her men followed Feng Chun. All she did was watching performance and threw some tantrum there.

"Of course. It's fun," Feng Chun said simply.

Wei Xiao Hua smiled and curtsied away. She silently gritted her teeth as she glanced at Feng Chun with confusion. In the book that she read, Wei Hong Zheng was actually not wounded. However, during the participation of the hunt, Wei Hong Zheng would spoil her time with Prince Ji Shu. Because of that, she chose to take action first to make sure that he couldn't participate.

Even though she had made sure that Wei Hong Zheng wouldn't be able to get healed that fast, there was a trace of unease within her heart. It was as if the knowledge she got from the novel was not enough. But she didn't know what it was. After all, the changes that occurred with Princess Ji Xiaoli shook her to the core.

Still, when she tested the water with the many clashes with Concubine Chou, she found out that the book was accurate. It meant that there might be someone else who was transmigrated or there was actually a variable that she changed without her knowing.

The fear of the unknown was truly frustrating.

Feng Chun returned back to her room and glanced over to Wei Liuying. "Your eyes are darker than Wei Hong Zheng. Make sure that there's no one who stay close enough with you to observe it."

"Yes, Mother."

"You can go back."

Wei Liuying acknowledged it and swiftly returned back to her room. She had long known that her eyes were different than others. If one paid close attention, they would be able to see that her eyes were darker. But in normal times, there wouldn't be anyone who was close enough to observe it, so only Wei Hong, Feng Chun, and Wei Hong Zheng knew about that.

For the next day, Wei Liuying stayed in her room and made the summarization again. Wei Hong Zheng had already finished his lesson from what she prepared before, so Teacher Luo asked her to make more. After all, without the notes, Wei Hong Zheng's progress was so pitiful.

"Miss, it's already late at night," Xiao Qing reminded in worry. Her hand was holding the lantern in her hand.

Wei Liuying smiled. "I'm almost done."

"Miss…"

"It's fine." Wei Liuying wrote the next word stroke by stroke unhurriedly. "I can even try to run away by relying on the hunt."

Xiao Qing's expression changed when she heard that. She looked at her Miss with disbelief. "But Miss, how are you going to fend for yourself in the wilderness? It wouldn't be easy to live by yourself."

Wei Liuying shook her head. "Which one will be harder? Fighting against those women in their schemes or living by yourself outside? I really want to know."

"Will you really try to run away, Miss?"

"No, I won't."

"But… it's a rare chance."

"It's a rare chance, but it's not the best chance," Wei Liuying replied.

Xiao Qing was confused. However, she soon understood that Wei Liuying didn't want to leave because if she left during the hunt, it meant that she would be leaving her and Xiao Yu behind. It was not something that Wei Liuying would ever want to do.

"Is it because of me, Miss? Miss should just leave without thinking about me."

Wei Liuying laughed softly. "You have been taking care of me and all for the past few years. Without you two, I'll never be able to live this long and survived in this hellish place. There's no way I would leave you."

Listening to Wei Liuying's words, Xiao Qing clenched her first. She truly wished that she wouldn't be a burden to her Miss. No matter what, she had to make sure that she would not be a hindrance. When Wei Liuying finally decided to leave the residence, she had to be able to catch up.

The next day, Wei Liuying spent the day by resting on her room. She still pretended that she was sick, so the others were not trying to bother her at all. However, some people had been wondering about her since she never showed herself at all. It was as if she had gotten scared after offending the Fourth Prince.

Though, only a few of them even remember her name.
