Chapter 52: We Are All Family
Huang Feiyan looked at Huang Nishang. Huang Nishang’s face showed no expression, clear and indifferent, as if she didn’t care about anything. Huang Feiyan felt that Huang Nishang was somewhat similar to her little aunt and her mother.
Combining what Huang Feiyan’s little aunt and her mother had said before, that Huang Nishang was very special, this made Huang Feiyan feel that Huang Nishang had actually been cultivated by them. It was even possible that before Huang Feiyan was born, Huang Nishang was the family’s designated heir.
The Huang family did not have a law of primogeniture. To choose the next family head, one had to go through many assessments. In Huang Junru’s generation, she was the undisputed strongest of her generation, and also the most suitable person, because the other two most powerful people in the family were her own younger sisters, who respected her very much.
If Huang Feiyan’s mother had chosen an heir in advance before Huang Feiyan was born, it would be very normal. After all, she didn’t know what her future child would be like.
If that was the case, then hadn’t Huang Feiyan snatched Huang Nishang’s position?
Huang Nishang naturally didn’t know Huang Feiyan’s overly rich thoughts, but just calmly looked at Huang Feiyan. “Have you talked to Mingyan about this?”
Huang Feiyan came back to her senses, then nodded lightly. “His thought is… he is unwilling to give you up.”
Hearing this, Huang Nishang’s eyes couldn’t help but move to the side. The slightly cold expression on her face softened.
Huang Nishang’s subtle expression change was noticed by Huang Feiyan. Huang Feiyan’s heart couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. Did she count as helping Mingyan to increase his favorability?
Huang Feiyan thought that Huang Nishang was probably incredibly moved after hearing that Mingyan had said such things in front of Huang Feiyan.
Mingyan was really too hateful…
After a long while, Huang Nishang finally looked at Huang Feiyan and asked softly, “Then… what are your thoughts?”
Huang Feiyan sighed lightly. “What else can I say?”
Perhaps doing as she did in the dream was also correct. Huang Feiyan was actually a little confused.
“Are you going to stay?”
“On the contrary, I was never going to leave. Why should I leave because of you latecomers?” Huang Feiyan’s eyes became firm. She looked at Huang Nishang and said seriously, “I can accept your existence, but don’t think of pushing me to the side.”
“I won’t do that,” Huang Nishang shook her head gently. “I don’t want anything… just to be by his side is enough.”
“…” Huang Feiyan sighed lightly. These words were simply unassailable, and they also made Huang Feiyan a little incredulous. Could Huang Nishang really not want anything? Did liking a person have to be so humble?
If Huang Nishang didn’t want anything, wouldn’t she be worried that one day, Mingyan would suddenly not like her so much?
Wouldn’t Huang Nishang be worried about being pushed out by other women? Huang Feiyan felt that if one really didn’t want anything, even if one was bullied by other women, one would be powerless to resist.
Huang Feiyan thought to herself that she couldn’t do it. Mingyan might not suddenly not like her so much, but she couldn’t ensure that other women wouldn’t come and snatch the position that originally belonged to her. So she could accept it, but she had to get a certain status!
And, no matter what, Huang Feiyan was Mingyan’s fiancée, and in the future, she would also be his first Dao companion!
No, she was now!
Huang Nishang wasn’t fighting for anything. Huang Feiyan couldn’t do that. Huang Feiyan looked at Huang Nishang, thought seriously for a moment, and said, “Although you are not fighting for anything, you are, after all, from the Huang family. I hope you can stand on my side.”
Hearing that Huang Feiyan seemed to have the intention of forming a clique, Huang Nishang’s expression changed slightly. “That is natural…”
Seeing Huang Nishang agree, Huang Feiyan nodded lightly. “The matter between you and Mingyan… I won’t hold it against you. I probably can’t get anything out of it anyway. We… are still a family after all. There’s no need to make everything so clear.”
Huang Feiyan had already done her psychological work. Just like a flood, it was better to dredge than to block. Besides, this was already leaking everywhere. If she blocked one place, other places would leak. It was better to dredge it, and then it wouldn’t leak anymore.
Huang Nishang nodded lightly. “It’s not easy for you to think so…”
Huang Feiyan sighed softly and stood up. “I just feel that whether it’s you, or Yue Ningshuang, and Mingyan, in this matter, you are all a little helpless.”
The main reason why Huang Feiyan could accept it was because everyone was trapped in a dream. Many things were not under their own control. So many things had happened, and they were not things they wanted to happen. Now Mingyan, Yue Ningshuang, and Huang Nishang were in this relationship, and none of them could stop it. Now that the raw rice was cooked, it was too late to stop it.
Huang Nishang lowered her head and fell silent. Really helpless?
Huang Nishang thought of her various actions, and a strong sense of guilt towards Huang Feiyan arose in Huang Nishang’s heart. In the end, Huang Nishang had still… deceived Feiyan…
“I’m going first. I believe we have… reached a consensus on this matter,” Huang Feiyan sighed and stood up to leave.
And at this time, Huang Nishang looked at Huang Feiyan and said, “I’m sorry.”
“…You don’t have to say sorry,” Huang Feiyan shook her head gently, the flower wreath on her head emerald green. “It’s not that anyone did anything wrong. If we really have to say who did wrong, then the mistake is that we had the same dream.”
The Huang Feiyan in the dream was the one who had actively encouraged Mingyan to open a harem. Now, to really blame Mingyan, Yue Ningshuang, and Huang Nishang, Huang Feiyan couldn’t do it.
So to say that Yue Ningshuang was special, she had been coveting Mingyan even before entering the dream. Now Yue Ningshuang had really succeeded. But if she had succeeded, she had succeeded. Yue Ningshuang alone, could she compete with Huang Feiyan and Huang Nishang?
Yue Ningshuang couldn’t possibly pull Mingyan’s master, Yue Wu Xia, in like in the dream, right?
Thinking of Yue Wu Xia, Huang Feiyan’s expression was a little strange. At first, when Mingyan had said that Yue Wu Xia’s dream was different from theirs, Huang Feiyan had believed it. But now, looking at it carefully, she found that it was probably not like that at all.
The respected Aunt Yue, in the dream, had actually become Mingyan’s wife…
In reality, they were master and disciple… this kind of relationship was a taboo…
Their intricate relationships, compared to the subtlety between a master and a disciple, were nothing at all.
Huang Feiyan shook her head, turned, and was about to leave. But halfway, she suddenly turned back, her beautiful face a little hot. Huang Feiyan coughed lightly twice. “By the way, Nishang, some words in the dream can’t be taken seriously.”
Seeing Huang Feiyan want to leave and suddenly turn back, Huang Nishang was a little strange at first. But after hearing Huang Feiyan’s words, Huang Nishang almost instantly thought of something she had almost deliberately forgotten.
Huang Nishang’s expression couldn’t help but become a little subtle. Huang Feiyan’s hobbies were really a bit special…
Huang Nishang nodded lightly, which counted as an agreement.
Only then did Huang Feiyan sigh in relief, turn, and leave.
