Chapter 1054: He Lianhuang’s Visit

Feng Tianlan glanced up at Mobai. He appeared to fully support her decision on this matter, so she nodded and said, “Let him come in.”

He Lianhuang had just gone back not long ago. Why was he here again? She was a little worried, thinking of Sister Lin.

“Your Highness, Jiang Ying has been taken care of.” Shui Jue came back to report.

Feng Tianlan briefly acknowledged. After seeing Shen Yunya, Jiang Ying was completely dispirited and lifeless. Life and death no longer mattered to him. Even pain could not elicit a m.u.f.fled cry out of him.

He was probably as good as dead inside.

Such despair really was the greatest punishment, so she asked the men to release Jiang Ying and send him back to the Jiang family’s remaining empty house.

Not long after, He Lianhuang followed the guard and came in. The moment he looked up, saw Si Mobai, and met the gaze of peach blossom eyes cold as ice, he shuddered involuntarily. He quickly turned to Feng Tianlan and greeted, “Tianlan.”

“Judging by the time, you should have just arrived in Xi Yuan Nation and then rushed over here again. What happened? Why the rush?” Feng Tianlan asked He Lianhuang, looking up, feeling puzzled. He looked very anxious, so she cut to the chase.

He Lianhuang gave a light grunt and looked at her. He said, “I just found out the truth of that time, you…”

He wanted to say something but did not know how to start.

Feng Tianlan smiled and said, “It’s all right, it’s all in the past. You rushed here for this?”

“I want to talk to you alone.” He Lianhuang gave Si Mobai a glance. The man was too stoic, he made him very scared. He had developed a fear of him.

Feng Tianlan softly agreed and said to Si Mobai, “You help me take a look at the United Mercenary Regiment first. I’ll head there once I’m done here.”

The people who went out to practice today went to Lin’an City, and she was going to the Shang Inst.i.tution in September, so she had been busy lately.

Si Mobai looked up to give He Lianhuang a look of warning, then he turned toward Feng Tianlan and said tenderly, “Very well, you don’t have to hurry if you’re busy. I can take care of everything.”

Feng Tianlan smiled. Mobai was always like this as long as his limits were not crossed. He was very indulgent with her and also respected her. By contrast, his hostility towards Su Jingfeng was blatantly obvious. She might have also been affected by the dream, but she did not have a favorable impression of him either.

As soon as Si Mobai left, He Lianhuang could not help himself and asked directly, “Where’s Princess Zhaoyang?”

“Did you come here to look for Sister Lin?” Feng Tianlan was stunned by his question and hurriedly suppressed her surprise. He could not possibly know that Sister Lin was pregnant, could he?

He Lianhuang nodded and reached up to scratch his neck as he said, “What did she tell you?”

“What do you want to know?” Feng Tianlan looked at him and showed that she did not quite understand his words. She still did not know whether He Lianhuang was aware that Sister Lin was pregnant. She had to stay firm and not give away any information to He Lianhuang.

He Lianhuang opened his mouth but swallowed all his words when he looked at Feng Tianlan. She was Dai’er, the Dai’er he had been in love with for so long.

Now he had to face his beloved and say to her, ‘I was compelled by circ.u.mstances to sleep with your best friend’?

He was unable to utter those words. He did not want to see the look of disappointment in her eyes. And once those words were out of his mouth, he really had no chance with her.

He knew Dai’er’s character too well. When it came to a good friend’s man, one usually would not even dare to approach him so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, much less talk about getting involved with him.

“He Lianhuang?” Feng Tianlan frowned when she saw that he had scratched his neck raw and yet had not spoken.
