Chapter 647 I am married

Xu Zifan and Feng Lao drank tea in the morning at the pavilion of the garden. "Jingfei told me last night you brought a woman home. Who is she? She was badly injured," Xu Zifan said.

"I saw three men were after her. It looked like she was beaten badly. I also didn't get the chance to talk to her. Her name is Miaoran," Feng Lao said.

"Is she from a noble household? Jingfei said Miaoran was quiet all the time. She may be talking to Miaoran now," Xu Zifan stated.

"I guess Miaoran is from a noble family. The guards weren't ordinary. I feel they might have reported to the inspectors, so soon the investigation may start," Feng Lao opined.

"Then, what do you want to do?" Xu Zifan queried.

"I don't know. I cannot intervene in other household matters. I may have to tell her to leave after she gets recovered," Feng Lao asserted.

"You always help the women who are in problem," Xu Zifan said and sipped the tea. He praised Feng Lao for his kind gestures.

"I ended up encountering that Miss," Feng Lao said and he took the last sip of the tea before putting the teacup on the table.

Before Xu Zifan could speak, a servant came there and informed them to come to the room where Miaoran was staying, as per Jingfei's request.

Both of them left the pavilion and soon reached the guest room.

"Miaoran wants to leave," Jingfei informed them, looking at the two.

Miaoran was seated on the chair with her hands tightly clutched on her cloth bag. "I am thankful to all of you for letting me stay here at the night. However, I cannot stay for long here." She lifted her head and looked at Feng Lao.

"Where will Miss Miaoran go?" Xu Zifan questioned.

"I will go out of the capital," Miaoran replied in a low voice.

"Which household does Miss Miaoran belong to?" Feng Lao inquired.

Miaoran gazed at him and hesitated a bit to tell about it. "Forgive me, Lord, I cannot tell about it," she said, keeping her voice low.

"If Miss Miaoran belongs to a noble household of any rank, then she may get caught. That's why she should tell us which family she belongs to?" Feng Lao suggested to her.

"Feng Lao is right. Miaoran, tell us about it," Jingfei also insisted on her.

"I-I am from the Chen Family," Miaoran replied.

"Isn't the Chen Family the biggest merchant family in the capital?" Xu Zifan said immediately.

"Yes," Miaoran replied.

"Are you a servant in the Chen Family?" Jingfei queried.

Miaoran shook her head. "I am the middle daughter-in-law of the Chen Family," she replied.

"Oh. Forgive me. I di-didn't know," Jingfei said and looked at her husband. The condition in which Miaoran had come made her believe she was a servant.

"I can manage to leave the capital. Thank you to–" she could not complete her sentence as Feng Lao interrupted her in the middle.

"You should not leave this residence," Feng Lao said in an authoritative tone.

Xu Zifan and Jingfei glanced at him.

"If the Chen Family finds out that we have kept their daughter-in-law, it will be a problem," Jingfei said.

"They will kill her," Feng Lao said and briefly glanced at Jingfei.

"I don't want to create trouble for any of you," Miaoran said and she rose to her feet. She bowed to them and walked ahead. Feng Lao noticed her limped leg while Xu Zifan wondered if Feng Lao would not stop her.

"Stay here. Nothing will happen to you as long as you stay in this residence," Feng Lao asserted. Miaoran halted in her steps and looked into his eyes.

Xu Zifan held Jingfei's hand and told them he would leave them alone for the conversation. Quickly, he left the room with Jingfei and closed the door behind him from the outside.

Feng Lao walked up to Miaoran and took her cloth bag from her. "I am Shui Feng Lao." He introduced himself to her and placed the bag on the circular table. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝘦𝑤𝑒𝑏𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝘮

"Have a seat and let's have a conversation," Feng Lao said.

Miaoran hummed and went back to the chair to sit on it. After they took their respective seats, Feng Lao said, "When you feel right, you can talk to either me or my sister-in-law, Jingfei. For now, I won't ask many questions except one."

Miaoran raised her head to look at him.

"Are you married or are you a widow?" Feng Lao questioned.

Miaoran's eyes filled with tears. Her lips quivered and she said, "I am married."

"That's why I should not stay here. If my husband finds out I have taken shelter in a residence other than his, you may all fall into trouble," Miaoran stated. She didn't let her tears fell and sniffled.

Feng Lao was in a dilemma. He could not keep a married woman in his house.

Seeing his silence, Miaoran understood that he would not stop her. She didn't either want to stay in the capital.

"Does your husband use violence on you? Because your wounds say it all. He may catch you again. Then, what will you do? Sorry, I asked more than one question," Feng Lao said.

Miaoran had no answer to this question.

"Stay here," Feng Lao affirmed.

"But–"

"Nothing will happen," Feng Lao said and told her he was capable enough to protect her.

"I don't want any danger to fall upon any of you. The Chen Family is powerful. If my father-in-law finds out, I am staying here, he will punish all of you since he knows many ministers in the capital," Miaoran stated.

"Don't worry about that. Since your husband and his family did wrong to you, so only they will be punished. I am capable enough to do that," Feng Lao assured her safety and told her to have the breakfast.

He stood up to leave when Miaoran asked, "Is Lord Shui a minister too?"

"No," Feng Lao refused.

"Then?"

"I hold the rank of a chief inspector. I work with Prince Lóng Wei," Feng Lao answered with a smile. "My sister-in-law was the first princess of the Kingdom before marriage while my friend, Xu Zifan, is the brother of Prince Lóng Wei's wife. I hope all this is enough for you to remain stress-free," Feng Lao asserted and passed a tiny smile to her before leaving the room.
