The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 40 The Promise of the Defei

Liang Fenghong smiled faintly. “I looked troubled at the beginning because I did not have time to remember that one way,” he replied casually.

The calmness on Huang Miaoling's face immediately shattered, the girl frowning. “Do you consider me a fool?” chirp it without further ado. “Although in this world you are the most difficult person I understand, but at least I know you are most adept at keeping your expression. If you can't remember, you won't have an expression of difficulty. Instead, you'll look very calm,” she explained. “A Feng, don't lie to me.”

Seeing that the girl had such a strong guess, Liang Fenghong sighed. “Ling’er, you think too far.” He then said, “Really no problem, I can do it. Don't you believe in my abilities?” The man grabbed the girl's hand and used his other hand to rub Huang Miaoling's face while smiling gently.

Liang Fenghong's expression looked like he was laughing at Huang Miaoling who was left suspicious. This made the girl start to doubt herself.

‘Can I overdo it?’ inner Mingwei Junzhu. Feeling Liang Fenghong's touch on her face slightly shifted her focus, the girl turned around and continued her steps. “If you find that you really can't do it, you have to tell me. In addition to not giving false hopes to Brother-in-law, I can also start planning things to block dangers from outside.”

Liang Fenghong chuckled as he was attracted by the girl's hand. “Isn't your first brother more than capable of handling it himself?” he said as he walked beside Huang Miaoling.

A few servants who were watching from a distance chuckled faintly at the compatibility of the two. Could hear the laughter of the servants, Huang Miaoling immediately released his grasp on the man's hand. He faintly looks a red hue on his ears.

“She is too busy taking care of the country matters, I will bear the family matters,” replied the First Miss Huang calmly, trying hard to cover up her embarrassment that was caught off guard by her servants.

Liang Fenghong's gaze turned to the back, capturing the whereabouts of some servants peering at the interaction of the two. The man raised his index finger to the lips, making the servants nod their heads quickly.

With his flat face, the Young Master Liang tried to silence the servants by throwing a gesture of silence. None of the servants thought that the man could be so adorable. See how the man tries to maintain a friendly atmosphere between himself and their lady.

Realizing that there was no reply from the man next to him, Huang Miaoling turned his head. However, before the girl was aware of what Liang Fenghong was doing, the man had been staring forward with a flat face.

“Kita.” Liang Fenghong's sudden remark made Huang Miaoling raise his right eyebrow, puzzled. “We will bear your family problems together.” The man returned the girl's gaze gently. “I'm also here, don't you think?”

A smile slowly flickered on Huang Miaoling's face. The girl's head nodded slowly as Liang Fenghong's hand crept into the clutches of her palm.

While returning his gaze forward, Huang Miaoling's mind floated. The expression on the girl's face looked bad. ‘For his wife is at war with the condition of his body, the man is even busy taking care of his country's household.’ Huang Miaoling snorted inwardly. ‘Tak wonder in the past the Huang family is so easy to attack.’ He was too busy to realize that his fingers had re-attached to the fingers of the man next to him. ‘If there is no balance in external and internal stewardship, of course one of them will fall first.’

Different than usual, today Yang residence looks a little more crowded. There were two horse-drawn carriages that seemed to stop in front of the gate, indicating that there were two guests visiting at the same time. Oddly enough, one horse carriage came from the palace and the other .. came from Huang's residence.

The Huang Family and Yang Family had never been hostile, but they also did not look to be friends. None of the two had ever aimlessly visited another residence. Thus, the situation of meeting a member of the Huang family to the Yang family residence was definitely based on a certain purpose.

As some passersby whispered about it, it was seen that a man from the Huang family was being entertained by the servants inside the central room of the Yang residence. The man sat opposite a woman wearing a flower-shaped hair ornament Chu Ju [1], a sign of the greatness of one of the main concubines who symbolized wisdom. From the expression and aura that surrounds the two, it is clear that the two are not friends. They look so awkward.

“Today is the day of your son's departure, is it okay that you don't take his departure and instead respond to my affairs, Defei?” huang Yade asked frankly to the woman who was sipping tea in front of him.

Yang Yuechan put his tea cup back on the table. The woman then landed her eyes on the man who had just spoken to her. "What I need to say to him I have said, there is no need to say goodbye because his departure is also not forever,” Yang Yuechan replied, filled with confidence. “I'm sure First Miss Huang will honor her promise, don't you think?”

Huang Yade's lips that revealed a polite smile twitched, the woman was clearly giving a warning to him. Even if Wang Wuyu went to Kun Lun right now, but Huang Miaoling had to keep his promise by not touching the prince.

In the future, if Yang Defei managed to obtain a chance, Huang Miaoling should not hinder the woman from bringing back her son to Shi kingdom. If the Mingwei Junzhu did something undesirable to Wang Wuyu, then the woman would naturally not be silent.

“Huang family always keep promises,” reply Huang Yade. “I hope, the family who is also like that,” he added.

Hearing this, Yang Yuechan dropped his gaze and sighed. “I will strive to keep that promise and control the people by my side.” The reason the woman looked troubled was of course because of her father who was certainly angry with this incident.

Ambition is not so easy to extinguish.

Huang Yade nodded his head, understanding that the woman had her own difficulties. Just to visit his own family alone, Yang Yuechan needed to clash with Empress Mingmei for a while. Were it not for Emperor Weixin looking well at his concubine's attitude all along, it was likely that Yang Yuechan would never have been able to walk out of the palace like this.

‘Which emperor would be so kind-hearted as to allow his woman to come out of the palace?’ inner Huang Yade while sighing inwardly. Although the kindness of Emperor Weixin facilitated his exchange with the Defei, but the nature of the leader of his kingdom really made Huang Yade worried. “To be honest, the reason I came here is not only to fulfill our agreement,” he said.
