Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 1584
Chapter 1584: Unattainable Father’s Love
Gray Wolf brought Old White to prepare in the middle of the night and didn’t return, while Feng Jiu and the other retired to bed early. Early the next morning, Duan Yingying, who knew that they would be leaving, had woken up early and cooked congee and some dishes for their breakfast.
When she saw them off, she gave Feng Jiu a packet of dried food and said: “You can eat this on the road. They can be kept for a few days. I also made some beef jerky.” Her voice had completely recovered, she was no longer mute and her voice was pleasant to the ear.
“Yingying, you know me too well. Thank you.” After Feng Jiu took the packet of food, she smiled and hugged her.
When she heard this, she lowered her head in embarrassment and nodded: “You must take good care of yourself. If, if there is a chance in the future, I really hope to see you again.”
“Well, if I pass by here in the future, I will definitely come to see you. But you have to remember what I’ve said. You have to be wary even of your family members. Your younger sister isn’t a good person, so you have to guard yourself against her and learn to defend yourself.” She reminded her with unease.
“Don’t worry. I will.”
“Alright then, we shall be leaving.” Feng Jiu said, and Xuanyuan Mo Ze nodded. The few of them lifted their breaths and swept outside from the inner courtyard. After a few breaths, they disappeared into the morning sky….
At noon, the City Lord was pleasantly surprised as his father had woken up. When he saw that there as no movement in the courtyard, he decided to go and take a look. Who knew, when he came into the courtyard, he saw his eldest daughter trimming the flowers and plants, and the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower was gone.
In a shock, he asked hurriedly: “Where is the spirit herb?”
Duan Yingying looked at him and then at the place he was pointing at and thought for a while. She looked down and took out a piece of paper and a brush pen from her cosmos sack and wrote: “Feng Jiu dug up the spirit herb and took it away, they left before dawn.”
After he read the words, the City Lord was furious: “Why didn’t you inform me they were leaving?” When he thought back to the night before, one of his men had informed him that someone from Feng Jiu’s group had taken her horse out of the manor, but he hadn’t thought anything of it then. Now that he thought about it, they had planned it all along.
Duan Yingying lowered her head, her expression ignorant, as if she didn’t know what he had just said. The City Lord’s face had become more and more annoyed, he took her paper and brush pen and wrote: “Did he leave any instructions before he left?”
“Feng Jiu said that Grandfather’s health will be fine as long as he takes good care of himself. He didn’t say anything else.” She wrote on the paper and stood there quietly without looking up.
As he looked at his daughter, he felt a little disgusted for no apparent reason. She was born deaf and mute and it would be an embarrassment if this news had spread to the outside world. While Feng Jiu and the other lived in this courtyard, she didn’t help to keep an eye on them and inform him of any news. She was a waste of space and of no use to him.
Now that Feng Jiu and the others have left and his eldest son still hasn’t returned, he could take advantage of this opportunity and marry her off!
He thought secretly as he stared at his eldest daughter who had her head down, then turned and walked outside.
After her father had left, Duan Yingying raised her head and looked calmed at the figure walking away. Although she looked as per normal, deep down she felt upset.
She wanted to be like her younger sister, she wanted to be loved by her father. She wanted her father to touch her head so that she could feel his love for her. She really wanted to see her father smile at her with admiration and look at her with love….
