284: Like a Turtledove Taking over a Magpie’s Nest IV

Like a Turtledove Taking over a Magpie’s Nest IV

"I am only going to give her another chance; either serve me or get out of Fengyun Manor!"2

Tang Yu raised her chin and yelled.

Everyone's face changed. When Fifth Elder was still here, Tang Yu was not as tyrannical. Once Fifth Elder had left, she…

"I will serve her."

While everyone was struggling, a fresh, crisp voice came from outside the door.

The crowd turned to see a lady dressed in a long green skirt, walking in from the door. Her eyes were calm; her face emotionless.

"I will never leave Fengyun Manor. Therefore, I shall serve her."

She did not believe it. She did not believe that the master was dead!

Until her master's return, she would never give up on Fengyun Manor!

Tang Yu condescendingly chided, "Also, you do not deserve to be named after a jade. Jade is a pure, precious stone. You are but a lowly servant, such a name is too good for you. From now on, you shall be known as Hong'er."

Hong Yu's body was trembling. She clasped her palms and slowly closed her eyes.

Forget it, forget it. What was a name compared to being able to continue staying in Fengyun Manor?

Even though the name was the last gift that her master had given her…

"Wen Feng, Hong'er, follow me, I am going to pick a mansion for me." Tang Yu stroked her sleeves as she walked down the deck.

She would not as much as glance at the crowd's pale faces.

And only Wen Feng followed her like a dog from the beginning. 

There were many disciples within the Fengyun clan. The manor consisted of a few hills. Those who were admitted into the grounds were gifted their own residences. Therefore, Tang Yu was dazzled by the choices and could not find one that satisfied her.

As she was growing impatient and was about to take her leave, she suddenly saw a unique-looking compound.

Tang Yu no longer wanted to turn around and leave. Instead, she headed forward.

The compound was very distinct. Each grass and tree carried a slight sense of spirit. The exterior looked grand and lively, as if a dragon would slither upward.

One look and Tang Yu took fancy to the compound.

"This must be where advanced-level spirits gather. The spiritual aura here is so rich, even richer than the Tangs' sacred land for cultivation!" Tang Yu was very pleased. "Moreover, there are murals of dragon and phoenix at the side of this courtyard; who else other than me could better hold the spirits of the dragon and phoenix in this Fengyun Manor?"

Fengqing Gardens?

Not a very good name!

"I have decided to stay here. Also, change the name of this place for me. Right, make it…

"Fengyu Gardens!"

Only then it would be proof of her residence.

Hong Yu's facial expression shifted a little. "Young Lady, the Fengqing Gardens is the forbidden grounds of Fengyun Manor. Other than for housekeeping purposes, no one is to enter!"

Tang Yu's tone became heavy. "I am the master's only disciple, who dares defy me if I choose to stay here? In addition, this place was prepared for me by my master. Other than me, no one may step inside!"

"Miss, the Fengqing Gardens is specially prepared by the master for her daughter. Stay anywhere you like in Fengyun Manor, but not here!" Hong Yu closed her eyes and opened them only after a while as she unyieldingly argued. 

That year when Rong Yan took her in, she pointed at that courtyard and told her that this would be where her daughter would stay in the future.

Her gaze, her kindness, and her voice, soft like the breeze, were fixated in her mind.

Therefore, she remembered her words that the place was a forbidden ground in Fengyun Manor.

No one was to step inside except for the master's daughter!
