Relaxing the Mind, Patients Seek Their Doctor

No matter how desperately Feng Jin wanted to stay, no matter how unwilling he was to leave with the Princess Royal of Lyndaria, in the end he was carried onto the carriage and taken away with her...

It wasn’t that the Princess Royal of Lyndaria snatched him away by force; it was that Feng Jin cried himself to exhaustion, fell asleep, and was personally placed onto the carriage by Serena Feng.

The Princess Royal of Lyndaria tried to put on airs in front of Serena Feng, but she picked the wrong time and place. If it hadn’t been for Feng Jin’s sake, Serena would have had the guards throw her out immediately.

"Tell Feng Jin that I’ll come to Lyndaria to see him, that he shouldn’t be sad, and that I’ll never abandon him." Serena gave instructions one by one, and Spring and Summer listened patiently without the slightest impatience.

"Take good care of Feng Jin. If anyone bullies you in Lyndaria, have Left Shore go to the Cui Clan Head. If the Cui Clan Head isn’t available, find Crown Prince Titus." Serena seemed to be instructing Spring and Summer, but in truth her words were aimed at the Princess Royal and her lover.

Even in Lyndaria, Serena’s people are not to be bullied.

"Hmph..." The Princess Royal of Lyndaria snorted, pretending not to hear, and boarded another carriage. Her lover, however, gave Serena Feng a thoughtful look.

But what does it matter if he understands? He’s not like others—his fate is tied to the Princess Royal for life; there’s no way he could ever change allegiance.

"Feng Jin will be back soon." This was the promise Left Shore made to Serena Feng before he left.

The Princess Royal’s behavior today not only shattered Feng Jin’s hopes for his mother, but also deepened Zuo An’s resentment toward her.

He couldn’t understand why such a woman had chosen to give birth to him in the first place. After having him, she treated him like a stray kitten or puppy, tossing him to the servants to raise—she might as well never have had him.

"Feng Jin will always be my younger brother. As long as he’s happy, it doesn’t matter where he is." If staying with his mother could make Feng Jin happier, even if she missed him terribly, Serena wouldn’t bring him back.

"That woman can’t give Feng Jin what he wants." He wouldn’t even speak her name, showing just how deep Left Shore’s resentment toward the Princess Royal ran.

"I can’t give Feng Jin everything he wants either," Serena said with self-mockery. Her situation was only a little better than the Princess Royal of Eastlyn’s.

"It’s enough." Left Shore knew very well that Serena wasn’t the best choice for Feng Jin, but there was no other option.

Besides, Serena had already done so much for Feng Jin. He had only wanted to give Feng Jin a legitimate identity, so he wouldn’t have to grow up in an environment where his birth father despised him.

In the end, Serena gave Feng Jin not just an identity, but also the care he needed most. In Feng Manor, Feng Jin was truly happy—much happier than Left Shore had ever been as a child.

Back then, even being the son of a princess hadn’t mattered—he was a child with an unknown father, one whose birth father refused to acknowledge him. His childhood had only servants for company.

After sending Feng Jin away, Serena was listless for a long while. The old steward tried several times to say something, but remembering his station, he swallowed his words.

Nathan, however, didn’t care about such things. Seizing the opportunity, he asked Serena directly, "Sister, if you like Feng Jin so much, why not have a child of your own?"

The old steward perked up his ears, eager to hear the answer. He too wanted to know when the Feng family would have a little master. But all he heard was Serena saying, "No rush."

No rush? How could she not be in a rush?

Miss, you’re not that young anymore. Ninth Royal Uncle has done your hair and brows several times. In Eastlyn, women your age are already mothers; if not mothers, then at least wives.

Miss, when will you get married?

"Given the current situation, it’s really not the right time to have a child. Waiting a bit longer is the right call," Nathan said, seeing things more clearly—though that wasn’t Serena’s main concern.

No matter how chaotic the world became, Serena was confident she could protect her own child. What she wanted was to give her child a completely legitimate status.

Marry Ninth Royal Uncle?

Serena smiled, not dwelling on the thought. Instead, she brought up Nathan’s plan to move out: "You found a place so quickly? Houses rarely go up for sale in the Capital, and those who own them aren’t poor—they almost never sell."

"Grand Heir William Wang Jinling happened to have a property for sale. Yana Zhan and I liked it, so we bought it," Nathan replied, not hiding his dealings with William.

Ninth Royal Uncle was right—bringing Yana Zhan to Eastlyn wasn’t just because she was Nathan’s fiancée and he cared for her, but also because William Wang Jinling’s willingness to look after her was a major factor.
