Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife - Chapter 9

Chapter 9

A Narrow Escape

Yao shi and Feng Zi Rui were resting in the back, while granny Sun sat beside them . Fearing they would overheat, she continued to slowly cool them with a fan .

Feng Yu Heng was trusting of granny Sun, but did not have any faith in the one driving the carriage . Especially seeing how he had struck Xu shi in Xi Ping village, she was certain he was not a good person .

“Granny stay in the carriage, I am going to get some air outside . ” Waving to granny Sun, Feng Yu Heng pushed aside the curtain and left the carriage . She arrived next to the driver and sat down .

The driver did not think she would come out and froze briefly . Displaying an unnatural smile, he greeted her: “Second miss . ”

This was the Feng manor’s hierarchy . Above her was another elder sister, Feng Chen Yu . It was exactly this person that had caused Yao shi’s fall from grace as the clan matriarch and Chen shi’s subsequent rise . Nowadays, she was the true matriarch .

“Uncle, it must be very tiring to drive all day and night . ” Her body sliding back slightly, she leaned against the carriage . She reached her right arm in to her left sleeve and gently caressed the phoenix-shaped birthmark .

“What is the second miss talking about? This is this old servant’s job . ” The driver pulled on the reins, not noticing the odd tone Feng Yu Heng took . The carriage drove even faster .

Feng Yu Heng picked at her lips, “Feng manor’s servants truly are loyal . ”

“Naturally . ” The driver shared a few laughs without any additional understanding . A 12 year old girl was absolutely incapable of arousing any doubts .

However, many things often will not develop in a normal manner, like Feng Yu Heng who was overlooked by the driver .

“It’s a shame though . ” She quietly said: “It’s a shame the loyal servant doesn’t know the way . If we continue this way, we won’t reach the capital in this lifetime . ”

“Hm?” The driver only just realized and turned to look at Feng Yu Heng . The originally earnest face began to distort . Her eyes shone with a sharp light . “Second miss, what do you mean with those words?”

Feng Yu Heng looked towards her opposition, their eyes stared at one another . The imposing manner of this 12 year old girl did not at all lose to the almost 40 year old man .

“I said, this road definitely does not lead to the capital city . ”

The driver pulled on the reins again, “Then, second miss, where are we going?”

“How could I know . ” She leaned against the carriage once more . “If you want to kill people to erase witnesses, you must be clean and efficient . You must also make sure that you haven’t been found out before you make your move . The formidable Feng manor does not lack in experts . Their mistake was excessively underestimating the three of us, mother and children . ” While speaking, she laughed self-mockingly . “Speaking of which, it really is laughable . Even for my death, that so-called father is unwilling to bestow upon me a better opponent . ”

“You… . ” The driver’s face was thoroughly ferocious . Although his cover had been blown and target alerted, but he continued to believe that there was no way a 12 year old, little girl could bring out any devious tricks . Without any doubt, she was just bluffing . It was really causing him to get frustrated . In the worst case scenario, he could just off the entire carriage of people, and it wouldn’t be too big of a deal .

He was raised as Feng family’s guard . Upon arriving, he received left prime minister Feng Jin Yuan’s dark will . Yao shi along with her children absolutely could not be allowed to return to the capital . Kill them off on the way back .

With regards to the marriage contract with the ninth prince, it was granted by the Imperial family for the eldest daughter of the first wife . Currently, that title belonged to the eldest miss Feng Chen Yu . Yao shi was removed from her position for this reason .

The driver coldly laughed . There was no reason to remain hidden any longer . He just remained a little curious as to why a little girl would be so clearly bold . “When did you figure it out?” He began to ask, yet he already held a dagger in his hand . As soon as he heard Feng Yu Heng’s answer, he would attack .

Feng Yu Heng also laughed coldly, but it sounds dark and somber .

“If you treated Xu shi a little less roughly, I might not have become suspicious . ”

“Just that?”

“Not just . ” She pointed at his hands, “Your right hand has thick callouses . It’s clear that you are someone who is proficient with weapon . If you were a driver, the callus would be on your index finger . ”

Having said those words, Feng Yu Heng did not wait for the driver to act . Instead, she took the initiative . She had already retrieved a palm-sized tranquilizer gun from her storage space . She had kept it hidden in her sleeve .

The driver felt out of sorts from the unexpected attack . Feng Yu Heng swiftly leapt up and, without aiming, swung for his neck . The tip caught his neck and blood sprayed on to her sleeve and the carriage curtain causing those inside to scream .

Feng Yu Heng gripped the reins and kicked the driver’s body off the carriage . Then, with a loud “Hya!” the carriage turned around and headed for the capital .

This entire journey, the four had been running for their lives . Now they were running to the capital .

Now, Feng Yu Heng was very much looking forward to seeing the Lord of the Feng manor . She really wanted to see this vicious father . What exactly did this horrible person look like .
