“Really?”
Feng Ruqing was shocked—her expression went blank. It was as if she just got to know the value of the spirit wine.
“Qing’er, just take the spirit wine back.” Master Nalan intended to give the wine jar to Feng Ruqing. Master Nalan forced a smile and said, “This present is too precious. I cannot take it. You just bring it back to His Majesty.”
Master Nalan could not take the present by disregarding his conscience. He would have gladly accepted it if it was regular wine but now that he knew of Feng Ruqing’s ignorance of its value, he just could not make himself to accept it.
Feng Ruqing looked at the spirit wine but she did not take it from Master Nalan.
“Grandpa, you can just accept this present as it is really a present I bought for you. His Majesty taught me a few days ago that I owe the General Manor a lot. His Majesty would have chosen to give you the spirit wine too if he were to know about this incident.”
Feng Tianyu was loyal to Empress Nalan. He loved Empress Nalan as well as her family. So, the Nalan family always received special treatment because of Empress Nalan.
Feng Tianyu would not have accepted the spirit wine if he knew of this incident.
Master Nalan deserved the spirit wine.
Master Nalan was stunned. His eyes showed a mixture of emotions. “Qing’er, you’ve finally grown up. Good. That’s really good.”
He had waited for this day for so long.
Tears lingered in Master Nalan’s eyes. He discreetly wiped them off. His hand that was holding the wine jar trembled just a tiny bit.
“Dad! Dad! Be careful! Don’t tremble!”
Suddenly, a strict voice came from the side during this warm and touching moment.
Nalan Zhangqian looked at Master Nalan’s shaky hands anxiously. He quickly put his hands underneath the wine jar. He was afraid that Master Nalan would break the wine jar.
That was a very precious jar of spirit wine. He would be anguished if it was broken.
Master Nalan’s face froze at that remark. This son had really ruined the touching moment. He was so angry that he nearly threw the wine jar at him.
But, Master Nalan changed his mind after some consideration. He was unwilling to give up the spirit wine. He sneered and said, “It’s not for you even if I didn’t break it.”
Nalan Zhangqian laughed out loud. “Dad, you’re unwell. You can’t be drinking too much wine. It’s also too much wine for you to finish it by yourself. I can enjoy it with you.”
“Not quite,” Master Nalan said sarcastically. “This is not regular wine but spirit wine. This wine can only strengthen my body and heal my illnesses. It’ll not harm me. Stop daydreaming here.”
Nalan Zhangqian’s facial expression changed. Master Nalan was really stingy. How could he take the whole jar of spirit wine without sharing it with him?
“Jing’er.” Master Nalan ignored Nalan Zhangqian’s sadness that showed on his face. He turned and looked at Jing’er, smiled, and said, “You don’t have to bother about your dad. Just come and enjoy the wine with me. By the way, don’t tell the old people about this. If not, I won’t have enough wine to drink.”
Nalan Zhangqian’s face darkened. Master Nalan would not share it with Nalan Zhangqian but now Nalan Jing could share it with him?
Why was Master Nalan being so unfair now?
“Grandpa, it is getting late now. I need to return to the princess’s manor. I’ll come and visit you again in a few days. Is that alright?” Feng Ruqing looked at the sky and thought that she should be heading back.
Master Nalan was stunned. “Qing’er, aren’t you staying for dinner?”
Feng Ruqing smiled and said, “No, it’s alright. I’m quite busy these few days so I won’t be staying for dinner. I’ll come next time. Is that okay?”
