"Why should I tell my father? Is my mother's illness related to him?"
"If my diagnosis is correct, your lady has been given this poison. It can make a woman unable to conceive for life, and perhaps only a chosen lady has the right to bear children. Your mother is weak because she has suffered a miscarriage, so after giving birth to you, the medicine she took, even if not fatal, has become a death sentence."
"Miscarriage? How could there be a miscarriage? My mother never mentioned it."
"Perhaps it's because your mother’s first child was a girl." Fengyin paused for a moment. "As for why your mother doesn't know, how would a sheltered woman understand why she is ill?"
"Then you say whether to treat my mother's illness should be discussed with my father, why?"
It seemed there was something unspeakable, and Fengyin's face turned red. Her grandfather always thought that the two old men had not taught her about matters between men and women, but as someone well-versed in medicine, how could she not understand these things? She was a doctor.
"What’s wrong?" Hibiscus asked gently, as a gentle breeze blew, her hair fluttering and lightly brushing against his handsome face.
Seeing Fengyin retreat into her own world again, becoming shy and hesitant, he couldn't help but soften his tone, even though he was feeling quite urgent.
"If I cure your mother, then... well, she might become pregnant. You need to ask your father." Fengyin's face was as red as a ripe apple; he really wanted to take a bite.
Why was that? No wonder the Mu Family had only one heir for generations; it turned out there were such hidden truths. To prevent family infighting and decline, if he were unsatisfactory, would he also be erased so that the Mu Family could welcome another new life? The warmth behind it turned out to be such a bloody reality.
Fengyin patted his back and quietly comforted him.
"Don't tell my mother." He suddenly realized why she had brought him out to talk.
Fengyin obediently nodded.
Any infatuated woman who knew her beloved was treated this way would surely cry her heart out.
Hibiscus took Fengyin back to Ji Yuyan. "You stay here and talk with my mother. I’ll go see my father."
Fengyin nodded and obediently walked inside.
"Lady, hello. I'm here to keep you company."
"Come here, Yin'er," Ji Yuyan said, holding Fengyin's hand. "Yin'er, what do you think of my son?"
Fengyin looked at Ji Yuyan with her clear eyes, feeling sympathy for the beautiful woman. She replied, "He's very good."
"What makes him good?"
"Well, he..."
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air.
Hibiscus furrowed his brows. How could he tell his father so that he would agree? If he knew that Fengyin had discovered the truth, would it be detrimental to her? Should he keep the truth hidden and just say that she could be cured, then take his mother to another residence for recuperation? What if his mother became pregnant again and suffered a miscarriage? He couldn't think about that now; he would definitely protect his mother well. He still had the divine doctor to help him, and when the time came, he would ensure that his mother’s child was healthy at birth.
Having made up his mind, he went to Mu Yu's study to discuss it.
Mu Yu nodded. Once the other residence is built, I will take your mother there to recuperate.
"How does Senior Yun Zhongzi treat you?"
"Father, Senior has a unique personality; Jin Zhi cannot fathom it." In truth, Yun Zhongzi clearly appreciated him, but why did he say that?
"Behave well and win his favor. I can see that you have feelings for that girl."
Hibiscus acknowledged this and withdrew.
"Auntie, Brother Mugen has returned, right?"
"You little girl, I knew it long ago. Why ask?" If he hadn't returned, would you have come here? Haitang smiled indulgently.
"Auntie, I'm going to find Brother Mugen; I'll come back to see you later."
Haitang smiled and turned to go inside.
"Princess, in a place bigger than the palace, where are we supposed to look?"
"Yes, my legs are so tired from walking."
"Princess, why not take a sedan chair?"
"Forget it, how can I see anything from a sedan chair?"
She spotted Lin Ke in the distance.
"Lin Ke, stop! This princess is calling you." Lingxiang Prince hurried over with a palace maid. "Quickly tell me, where is Brother Mugen?"
Lin Ke looked troubled; how did he end up encountering this willful princess again?
"Princess, please don't make it difficult for me. I really don't know. You should go find him yourself. Just treat it like a stroll in the Imperial Palace Royal Garden." After saying that, he made a bow and left.
"How outrageous! Even the servants of the Mu Family are so difficult." Blossom, who was favored by the princess, had always been arrogant.
"Help me find him. Don't say such things; it wouldn't be good if someone hears."
"What’s wrong with that? You are a princess, second only to one and above countless others."
"Stop talking back and find Brother Mugen for me."
"Yes," Blossom pouted in dissatisfaction.
Hibiscus was heading towards Listening Rain Pavilion when he heard Lingxiang Princess's voice from afar. He wanted to hide but had already been spotted. As a big man, he couldn't just run away, so he stood still.
"Brother Mugen! Brother Mugen!" Lingxiang Princess acted all sweet and charming, but no matter how one looked at it, she resembled a plump bird trying to fly.
Hibiscus knew that regarding Spiritual Incense, his family was tacitly supportive because of Haitang, and Master Mu was also pleased with it.
"Greetings, Princess." Hibiscus's handsome face no longer bore the warm expression; he appeared rather indifferent.
"Where are you going, Brother Mugen? What a coincidence to run into you here." Are you sure this is just a coincidence?
"I went to visit my mother."
"Yes, I know Aunt is unwell. I was just thinking of visiting her too; no wonder we ran into each other."
If he wasn't mistaken, they were coming from the direction of the Listening Rain Pavilion. Were they about to go see her?
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess Xie. My mother is not feeling well. It would be impolite to entertain guests right now, so perhaps the princess should rest with Auntie." With that, she floated away.
Since she had been rejected, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to chase after them, but she really wanted to go. Lingxiang Princess pouted her rosy lips, making her chubby face look like a bun. She truly was a sight to behold. (This is for the plot and does not represent my personal stance; please do not throw bricks at me.)
"Spiritual Incense, why are you back already?"
"Auntie, Brother Mugen wants to see his mother and won't allow me to go with him."
Haitang sighed softly; even a blind person could see Hibiscus's feelings for Fengyin. It seemed that only that girl was completely unaware.
Could Spiritual Incense also follow in her footsteps? But looking at Hibiscus, it seemed she might not even measure up to her own feelings. She couldn't help but sigh. The women of the Xuan Family were so noble, yet in the eyes of the Mu Family, they were nothing.
"Isn't Young Master Mei II good to you? Why don't you spend time with him?"
"Auntie, I don't like him. I am the most beautiful princess of the Heavenly Xuan Empire; I must become Brother Mugen's bride."
