As she spoke, Feng Feiyan even began to plead, "Father, Mother, I beg you not to send me back to the Imperial City. I am the eldest daughter-in-law; staying by your side to serve and take care of you is what I should do, and I will do my best to fulfill my duties."
"Child," An Jing said with great reluctance as she held Feng Feiyan's hand, "don't be like this. Your father and I are not insisting you return to the Imperial City, we just think it's too much hardship for you, not even having a maidservant to look after you."
Feng Feiyan immediately shook her head and said, "I'm not suffering, nor do I need someone to serve me."
"But you've lost weight..."
"I have lost weight, but I'm also stronger."
An Jing was taken aback. It seemed true. Previously, Feng Feiyan looked so delicate, like she could be blown away by the wind. Now, although she was thinner, she was sturdier and much healthier.
