She was certain. The man wearing the golden mask in the carriage was the same man she had met in the mountains when she first arrived in this world. There was no way she could forget the seductive charm of that purple lotus nor his fair face. Even more so, she couldn't figure out why he had to wear that mask.

"Is that person the ninth prince?" Feng Yu Heng asked Yao shi.

"Is A-Heng talking about the person sitting in the carriage?" Yao shi also looked over. "Since this is a celebration welcoming the prince's return to the capital, it must be the prince."

Granny Sun had already knelt with the other commoners and continued kowtowing towards the carriage.

Feng Yu Heng pondered deeply. She continued to stare towards the carriage while standing on her own. She felt that when the curtain opened up, the person inside was also glancing in her direction, yet she did not see his eyes stop on her.

He probably forgot the promise. With a feeling of self-ridicule, she shrank back and sat down. Since it was the ninth prince, the other side was a person of the feudal family. He was a first-class eminent person. How could they remember a mountain child.

Except... Why was it, in spite of having won the war, that his army did not show any merriment?

Ninth prince... Feng Yu Heng was suddenly seized by panic and blurted out a question: "Granny Sun, you said before that the Feng family sent you to retrieve us. What was that for again?"

Granny Sun stood up from the ground, her face displayed an enormous smile, "Miss, it's for your marriage to the ninth prince!"

Yao shi also let out a rare look of joy. "A-Heng, the days of bitterness have almost come to an end. With his recent military accomplishments, he stands out above the other princes. My A-Heng has become very fortunate."

Feng Yu Heng had never believed in such a thing as fortune. She hurried Yao shi and granny Sun back on to the carriage, then carried Feng Zi Rui in as well. With the army slowly entering the city, they followed closely and entered directly behind them.

Some matters became unclear in her heart. Some matters had leads open up, but she had no time to ponder them too deeply.

A group of people hastily led the carriage toward the Feng manor. Unknown to them, the man behind the golden mask had already set his eyes to following her carriage's path until he spotted the small, young girl in the carriage. As before, she looked thin and weak. She appeared even worse for wear than in the mountains. He considered, rushing here from the far west to the capital, she must have suffered greatly along the way.

"Go investigate."

With these few words, Bai Ze, who was standing nearby, understood immediately. He bowed deeply and replied: "Servant understands."

....

Finally standing before the Feng manor's main entrance, Feng Yu Heng looked at the sign board in front of her eyes that was written vertically, to comply with societal norms, "Left Minister Feng Residence" These four large words caused a laugh of ridicule to bubble up in her heart.

The dignified left prime minister actually dared abandon his wife and favor his concubine. He abandoned his own daughter in a mountain village, never bothering to mind what happened to them. She really wanted, when this father saw them once more, how he would react.

Granny Sun let out a long breath while repeating, "They've finally returned." She grabbed a few people and went to knock on the door.

The gatekeeper opened the door. Seeing that it was granny Sun, he stared blankly for a moment. Then, with a "thump" sound, he closed the door once more.
