The season's changed and years passed.
There was a young lady running as she panted in the cold winter weather. You can see her breath fog when she panting as she inhales.
" Young Miss!" Xiao Li called out as she step on the snow ground and panted.
There was a young lady who wears a crimson cloak with fur is standing watching the sunrise. There was also a big white wolf standing beside her like guarding her. The crimson cloak makes her skin look more white like the snow and her big pretty almond eyes are shine with her smile red lips. Her beautiful face is like a fairy descendent from heaven, yet you can still see she is still a young girl at the age of fifteen year old. Due to the cold, her face pales and looks fragile. Her long black silk hair reaches to her waist with the crimson cloak making her figure look so distant and cold to people.
Feng Wu turns to look back at Xiao Li. Today, the weather is cold, and still, early in the morning, she could see Xiao Li's worry on her face. Whenever she could not sleep or had nightmares, she would wake up early to come to this hill to watch the sunrise in the morning. Now the cold weather is affecting her health so she would occasionally get sick. Feng Wu covers her mouth as she coughs softly.
" Don't worry. I'm just watching the sunrise." Feng Wu smile. AnAn glance at Feng Wu's face and turn to look back at Xiao Li.
" Young Miss, it too cold. Let go in. Your body could not stand the cold weather very much." Xiao Li helpless complaining.
She felt that her young miss is too distant and only interact with the white wolf. Sometimes she wants to ask and understand what her young miss thinks but she could feel that her young miss has a wall that separates other people to break in, her young miss is too independent and calm.
Feng Wu felt helpless at Xiao Li's complaint so she went back with Xiao Li to the house. Feng Wu took off the cloak and sit on the table drinking honey ginseng tea. She could not help looking at the wood gate door. Her heart skip a beat as she thought of the Yan brothers and she felt missed it. A couple of months ago, she doesn't know what happens but the Yan brothers never visit her again and only sent messages saying they have some trouble that need to deal with it. Feng Wu did get along with them even though they are not relative but she feel the warmth and connection with them as time passed.

Somewhere in the wild mountains, there are two men dressed in black cloaks looking at some plant herbs.
" Big brother, are you sure it here?" Yan Cheung was shaking in the cold weather.
" Hm. The royal doctor says is near here. So it should be somewhere here." Yan Chen looking around.
They have been here for a couple of weeks now as they look for some herbal medicine that is grown in the winter to relieve Feng Wu's poison. Today the snow is heavy on the road, so it is hard to travel with the carriage so they have to climb up to the mountain on foot. Yan Chen look around for a couple of hours and saw it near the rock as snow if covered so it was hard to see.
" Here. Give me the sword knife." Yan Chen reaches out to remove the snow carefully.
Yan Cheung look surprised and hand over the sword knife to Yan Chen. Then Yan Chen start digging at the cold soil and it was hard as if frozen so it took thirty minutes to dig out the whole plant with the root. After that, they went back down from the mountain as the sky is getting dark.

Feng Mansion.
"Thump! Thump!"
" Wei Wei! You need to calm down. This is not how etiquette mother teaches you to be a lady in Feng Manor." Concubine Li enter the room as she saw her daughter smash some vases to the floor. She then indicate for the servant to clean up the mess and went to console Feng Wei Wei.
Feng Wei Wei's face is pale with red eyes as she going to cry.
" Mother, how am I supposed to calm down when that b*tch is coming back. She will steal my fame. Now I don't even know what she looks like now. Everyone will point at me as I am only a concubine daughter."
Concubine Li feel heartache as she saw how despairing her daughter is. Concubine Li went to hug Feng Wei Wei and console her.
" Don't worry. You still have your mother here, so mother will help you. I will find a 'good partner' for her marriage so don't worry."
Feng Wei Wei has calmed down a bit after hearing what her mother told her. She bit her lip as she looked at her mother.
" Right, mother I still have you. Please don't let her steal everything from me."
" Don't worry. I will get rid of anything stand on your way."
" Mother is the best person who loves Wei Wei the most."
Concubine Li thought that everything would have not been like this if her husband have not met Mu Luwei then she would have been the legal wife and not a concubine. Concubine Li has a ruthless expression as she thought deeply about how to deal with Feng Wu.

Clear Water Village.
Many days passed by, Feng Wu got a message delivered from the Feng Manor that her grandmother wrote to her. After reading, she put down and saw Xiao Li come from outside, carrying a bucket of water.
" Xiao Li, get ready. We will be going back to the Wang Capital in a couple of days."
" Thump!" Xiao Li drops the bucket of water.
" Miss, are you sure that we should go? I---"
" Yes, I have to go back and get what they own me."
Xiao Li sighs...
" I will be prepared then."
" Hm." Feng Wu stare outside as she thought deeply.

After preparing for a couple of days. Feng Wu and Xiao Li went up to the carriage and Feng Wu turn back to look at the house which she have been staying in for a couple of years now. If she can, she does want to live peacefully but she can't. She needs Concubine Li and her daughter to pay for what they did to her and find out who is her real father is. As for the Yan brothers, she had already written a letter for her shadow guard to help deliver to them when they came back. She also brings AnAn with them too since she doesn't want to let him stay in the wilderness
" Miss, everything is ready." Xiao Li came to Feng Wu's side.
" Hm. Let go. We can't delay grandmother's birthday." Feng Wu went up to the carriage with Xiao Li's help.
The carriage drives toward the busy streets of Clear Water Village all the way to the Wang Capital. Feng Wu can see outside through the tan sheer curtains on the window. She could feel her body is kinda weak as she feel uncomfortable traveling long distances in the carriage.
" Young Miss, do you want to drink some honey ginseng tea and eat some snacks?"
" It's fine. I just feel uncomfortable riding in the carriage after a long time." Feng Wu frowns when she leans back on the cushion behind her.
" If you need anything, just tell me."
" Hm." Feng Wu closes her eyes to rest to get rid of the dizzy feeling.
After that, there were no talks were made. The carriage goes all the way from Clear Water Village to Wang Capital, it will take a week to reach there.

After a couple of days, Yan Cheung came to see Feng Wu but the house is empty and quiet so he ran inside in case something happens but did not see anyone even a shadow. Then he saw an old lady who came from the side woodshed as she carry some firewood in her hands.
" Young man, who are you looking for?"
" Where are the two young ladies living in this house gone to?"
" Oh, they went back to Wang Capital already."
Yan Cheung was at loss and went back to the Inn and told his brother. Yan Chen didn't think that they would miss out on Feng Wu but it was also a good thing too. Now maybe it is time for them to go to Wang Capital to investigate the jade pendant of his mother.
