Chapter 205 Hot Spring Appointment

After pondering her third brother Feng Jingsu's words last night, Feng Xinying gradually solidified her plan of action. This morning, after having breakfast with her third brother Feng Jingsu and Wen Yuan at the prefect's residence, she set off for Lu Ling'er's clinic, Jishitang, with her personal maids Yinping and Yinshuang.

Sitting in the carriage, Feng Xinying's fingers gently clenched her sleeves, her heart in turmoil. She was filled with anticipation, yet also felt a faint sense of unease. What if Lu Ling'er was truly the long-lost descendant of the Feng family? How would she cope with this sudden change? What if Lu Ling'er wasn't the person she was looking for? How would they continue their efforts over the years? These questions swirled in her mind over and over again. Last night, the voice of her third brother, Feng Jingsu, was still clear: "Xinying, no matter what the outcome, we must know the truth." His words gave her some courage, but she still couldn't completely calm down.

The unique birthmark of the Feng family's main lineage is a mark that all of them were born with, and only biological children of the Feng family can possess it. If Lu Ling'er has this birthmark, then the truth behind their separation is obvious. To find an opportunity to verify this, Feng Xinying had already planned how to approach Lu Ling'er and suggested going to the hot springs together.

Jishiditang soon came into her sight. A faint aroma of herbs wafted from outside the clinic. The crowd waiting in front of the door was sparse, but each one held an expectant gaze. The interior of the clinic was simply furnished, with several rows of medicine cabinets neatly arranged, and the air was filled with a rich medicinal aroma. Feng Xinying's heart involuntarily grew nervous as she entered the clinic. Her eyes swept across every corner until she spotted Lu Ling'er, who was taking a patient's pulse.

Lu Ling'er's face remained gentle as usual, her demeanor revealing the calmness and composure of a physician. She appeared to have no connection to the Feng family, but Feng Xinying knew the true answer might lie within her. Suppressing her inner turmoil, she gently stepped forward, smiling and bowing to Lu Ling'er. "Miss Ling'er, I've come specially to visit you today. Could you take me to your Taoyuan Villa to soak in the hot springs and relax? And let my third brother and the others take a look around?"

As she spoke, Feng Xinying's gaze quietly swept over Lu Ling'er's wrist and neck, where birthmarks were most easily visible. However, there was nothing there. She knew she couldn't rush things, so she could only slowly look for opportunities and try to remain as natural as possible to avoid arousing Lu Ling'er's suspicion.

Lu Ling'er tilted her head slightly, her clear eyes gazing at Feng Xinying. A gentle smile curled the corners of her mouth, a sweet smile forming. It was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and captivating. She spoke softly and tenderly, "Sister Xinying, if you're happy, I'll be by your side anytime, anywhere. The idea of a hot spring bath is fantastic!" "I've been incredibly busy these days, and I'm pregnant, so I really need some relaxation," Lu Ling'er whispered, a smile of anticipation on her face. "If I don't take this opportunity to soak in the hot springs, it'll be impossible later. As for Third Young Master Feng and Lord Wen, I'll leave it to my husband to accompany them. We sisters will stay at the hot spring villa tonight. There's no need to rush on our journey. Let's enjoy this rare leisure time." Even after she finished, Lu Ling'er's face still beamed with that innocent smile, as if all the world's troubles and strife had nothing to do with her.

At this moment, the air around them seemed frozen, only a faint breeze rustled past, bringing a slight chill. However, beneath the seemingly calm atmosphere, Feng Xinying concealed a turbulent heart. She looked at the simple, kind, and innocent woman before her, and a complex mix of emotions welled up in her. On the one hand, Lu Ling'er's sincere smile touched her deeply, making her feel that it was a true pleasure to be with such a wonderful person. On the other hand, she secretly wondered if there was some deeper meaning behind Lu Ling'er's words, or if she was just overthinking it. These intertwined thoughts made Feng Xinying's mood increasingly difficult to calm down.

As she left Jishitang, Feng Xinying breathed a sigh of relief. At least the first step had been successful. She silently told herself: No matter what the truth was, she had to get to the bottom of it all. This concerned not only herself, but also the entire Feng family.

Feng Xinying quickly arrived at the prefectural yamen, the core administrative center of Nanyang Prefecture and the place where all the city's officials conducted their daily work. She disembarked from her carriage at the gate and handed her token to the gatekeeper. The officer, recognizing it as belonging to the Feng family of Zhennan Wang, immediately and respectfully made way, not daring to be inconsiderate. Outside the yamen, majestic stone lions overlooked the passing civilians and officials, creating a sense of oppression. But Feng Xinying passed through with composure, her demeanor calm and her steps steady.

She walked into the government office, her heart trembling with anxiety. Tomorrow's hot spring trip with Lu Ling'er would determine the fate of her family. The Feng family and Lu Ling'er had a complicated relationship. If Lu Ling'er truly was the long-sought-after descendant of the Feng family, then everything would be different, and the family's fate would be drastically altered. Feng Xinying's heart tightened at the thought, but she remained impassive.
