Naturally, Lady Nalan was more than happy if Feng Ruqing was truly sincere and treated Nalan Daier with all her heart. However, Lady Nalan was afraid that Feng Ruqing was just messing around with Nalan Daier out of boredom.
Nalan Daier was nave and had a pure heart. She had even put all the wrongdoings that Feng Ruqing did to her out of her mind. Moving forward, Lady Nalan must keep an eye on Nalan Daier and never let her walk out of the manor so Feng Ruqing could never get close to her.
"Tell the general that Daier is back but dont tell him anything about Feng Ruqing." Lady Nalan lowered her eyes. Feng Ruqing had wholly broken the generals heart. Whenever he heard of Feng Ruqings name. his sorrow grew even more profound.
Hence, Lady Nalan did not want the general to know that it was Feng Ruqing who had brought Nalan Daier back. Her father had suffered a great deal of grievances because of Feng Ruqing. She did not want the general to follow in his fathers path.
"At your command, Lady." The guard cupped his hands in a salute.
As Nalan Daier had returned to the generals manor safe and sound, it did not make a great stir in the kingdom. However, the guards in the generala manor were greatly increased and even the back door was closely guarded to prevent Nalan Daier from sneaking out of the manor again.
At the crack of dawn, Nalan Zhangqian pushed opened the door and walked out of the study. He seemed to have not slept through the night as fatigue was engraved on his worn face. Suddenly, a sweetie pie came into sight in the distance. Seeing Daier, Nalan Zhangqian broke into a wide smile.
"Daier, why are you here?"
"I miss you, daddy. I brought you a fruit," Daier said softly with a smile of pure joy.
Seeing Daier, Nalan Zhangqians heart melted, his eyes filled up with tenderness.
"Daier is such a good girl. What have you brought me?"
"Its a sweet and juicy fruit."
Nalan Daier stretched out her hand and revealed a crimson red fruit in her tiny palm. Feng Ruqing gave her five, and she had only eaten one. The rest was for her father, mother, grandfather, and brother. The sweet scent and spiritual qi from the fruit proved that it was the Divine-Spirit Fruit in Nalan Daiers hand. Even though the spiritual qi of the Grade-1 spirit herb was faint, a spirit herb was truly rare and expensive in Liu Yun Kingdom. With Nalan Daiers allowance, she could never afford such a spirit herb.
"Ah? Daier Where did you get this from?" Stunned, Nalan Zhangqian asked solemnly.
"I bought it." Feng Ruqing had taught Nalan Daier a sweet lie. She did not want Nalan Daier to tell the general that it was she who had given the Divine-Spirit Fruit to Nalan Daier. Even though Nalan Daier did not know the reason Feng Ruqing did that, she trusted Feng Ruqing and that her cousin would not hurt her.
"Where did you buy it from?" Nalan Zhangqians face was growing more solemn as he continued asking.
"I bought it from an old man on the street. I ate this before. It tasted extremely good. So, I bought it for you and mommy." Nalan Daier pouted and lowered her head.
"Did I do something wrong?" It was Feng Ruqing who taught Nalan Daier to say this. Even though Nalan Daier was feeble-minded, she was not mentally disabled. So, she could still repeat Feng Ruqings words.
"No. You have done something incredible. This fruit is truly precious. Daier, you are so lucky to have bought this. Do you know where the old man is?"
