Abandoned Woman Busy Farming-Chapter 1670: A Heart Cannot Be Divided

Unless Diao Yao gets married, only then can she leave this confinement, but at this time getting married is no different from being trapped in another four-cornered world.

A girl like Diao Yao who grew up in the sects of the River Jiang is certainly not accustomed to it.

The Empress Dowager was soft-hearted and felt some pity for Diao Yao, but ultimately could only let out a heavy sigh.

She could not promise anything to Diao Yao, regarding Diao Yao, Tang Yin’s attitude was very firm, he designated Diao Yao as the orphan of the late royal uncle, and was determined to keep her in the Palace and send her off in marriage properly.

Moreover, as long as Diao Yao remains in the Palace, Chu Hai will not leave.

Bai Ruozhu looked towards Chu Hai, his expression was desolate, seemingly regretting getting involved in this chaos, yet he could not regret it, at least his mother was saved.

At this time, Fen Wan suddenly walked up to Ning Yu and said, "Young Ning, I have something to say to you alone."

Everyone quieted down, even the Empress Dowager looked somewhat embarrassed.

Ning Yu felt even more awkward, his handsome face turned red as he first looked at Princess Diao Bin sitting not far away, afraid she would be angry because of this.

"This, this may be inconvenient," Ning Yu stammered.

Fen Wan’s eyes showed disappointment but she did not retreat a single step, "Just a few words, besides, I’m leaving soon, I won’t come back to Danliang Country anymore."

Ning Yu was still hesitating when Diao Bin nodded at him.

Diao Bin was much like the Empress Dowager, easily soft-hearted, and she did not dislike Fen Wan, was even thankful for Fen Wan’s help in dealing with the curse technique. As for Fen Wan falling for Ning Yu, she felt a bit jealous, but it was understandable, such a good man attracting affection was normal.

Besides, Fen Wan never targeted her, they would even politely greet each other when they met, now that Fen Wan was about to leave, they might as well clear things up with Ning Yu so there’s no regret left.

Ning Yu hesitated, but finally nodded, saying, "Alright."

Fen Wan gestured with her hand for him to follow, as they walked out of the Main Hall, one after the other. fгeewebnovёl.com

Hao Feng also felt somewhat awkward and thus saluted, saying, "Since there’s nothing else, I’ll go rest first."

"Master, go ahead, if you need anything along the way just ask, I’ll have my people prepare everything," the Empress Dowager said.

Hao Feng respectfully saluted, "Alright, thank you, Empress Dowager."

She had completely let go of her grudge, believing that the Empress Dowager did not poison Fen Wan back then, rather, Fen Wan had been misguided to curse the former Emperor and Empress Dowager. During this time, with Empress Dowager’s kindness, she felt more guilty and respectful toward her.

After Hao Feng left, Yingtong jumped to Diao Bin’s side, disapprovingly saying, "You’re too kind-hearted, aren’t you afraid the person will get taken away?"

Diao Bin blushed, murmuring softly, "If it’s so easy to be taken away, then it wasn’t true feeling, it’s better not to have it."

Bai Ruozhu looked at her with admiration, "Diao Bin has grown up."

The Empress Dowager laughed along, "You youngsters enjoy yourselves together, I’m tired, I’ll go rest."

After saying this, the Empress Dowager stood up, supported by Nanny and Hao Mu, and went down.

In the outside corridor, Fen Wan stopped walking, Ning Yu who was following closely behind also stopped promptly, appearing nervous, sweating.

"If I wasn’t that Fen Wan who suffered a reincarnation curse and had two children, just a girl under twenty, would you have feelings for me?" Fen Wan suddenly asked, directly but resolutely. Despite her blushing, her eyes were fixed on Ning Yu.

Ning Yu choked, awkwardly saying, "No."

He quickly explained, flustered, "It’s not that you’re bad, but I’ve met Diao Bin, and my heart is entirely devoted to her, how can I think about other women? If I did, it wouldn’t be respectful to you or her."

Fen Wan took a deep breath, suppressing her tears, "I understand. I’ve thought a lot these days, and I know you never led me on, it was my misunderstanding, falling into it, causing you trouble. Now that I’m leaving, I wanted to say sorry to you, and wish you and Princess Diao Bin happiness."

Saying this, she bowed to Ning Yu, expressing her sincerity in apologizing.

Ning Yu felt embarrassed, hurriedly returned the gesture, saying, "No need for such formality, it’s good we cleared the air."

Fen Wan’s body trembled, front me? He only regarded her as a predecessor, not even a friend.

She held back her tears, saying, "I’ll take my leave then."

She walked quickly, afraid that Ning Yu would see her tears fall, since he felt nothing for her, what reason did she have to cry in his presence? Wouldn’t that make her seem like a weak woman seeking sympathy?

Ning Yu watched Fen Wan’s departing figure, silently sighed, then turned back to the Main Hall.

Seeing him return, everyone relaxed, yet he appeared slightly nervous, explaining to Diao Bin, "That predecessor Fen Wan has left, she said she misunderstood me."

Diao Bin glanced at him, "Alright, I didn’t ask you, weren’t you going to teach me fortune telling? Don’t delay any longer."

Diao Yao beside them looked curious, "Fortune telling? I want to learn too!"

Chu Hai grabbed her arm, saying, "Brother has something to tell you, don’t go yet."

Bai Ruozhu almost laughed aloud, even Chu Hai knew how to hold his sister back from being a third wheel, but little Diao Yao hasn’t caught on yet.

"Oh, alright then," Diao Yao replied disappointedly.

Diao Bin and Chu Hai said their goodbyes to everyone and left together.

Chu Hai turned to Diao Yao, "You keep Yingtong company, I have something to discuss with Ruozhu."

"What’s with today? Everyone wants private conversations," Yingtong said jealously.

Diao Yao giggled, took her arm, and whispered in her ear, "Surely brother is asking Sister Ruozhu to help him plead for sending you back to the Western Regions."

Yingtong instantly brightened up, giving Chu Hai and Bai Ruozhu a big smiling face.

No matter how softly Diao Yao spoke, Chu Hai could hear, feeling embarrassed, so he quickly walked out.

Bai Ruozhu suppressed a smile, followed him out, saying, "Diao Yao wasn’t wrong, was she?"

Chu Hai coughed twice, saying, "I do have that thought, just some things are inconvenient to say in front of them."

Bai Ruozhu raised her eyebrow, "Speak."

"I know why he’s not allowing me to return to the Western Regions, but because of the Saihan matter, I’m really uneasy. I’ll make it quick, Diao Yao is still here." He paused, "I’m not interested in the throne at all."

"He’s not entirely suspicious of you, that’s just how those in power are, also worried about your safety, don’t take it personally," Bai Ruozhu advised.

"Trapped in Capital City, how can I not feel anything?" Chu Hai almost gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched, "I’ll try to help you speak about it, but regardless of the outcome, don’t get emotional, at most within half a year, won’t you be able to marry Yingtong?"
