The Rising Phoenix

The Fang Family looked at the full hot meal in front of them. They would not believe that they would eat the meal like this in the woods. The person who cooked the whole meal was busy handing over the bowl to others.

"Xifeng, are you always eating like this when travelling?" Fang Daiyu asked.

"Well, I think so. I prefer a meal like this. But sometimes if I am too lazy to cook something, I just buy from a restaurant. " Bai Xifeng nodded. "Let's eat."

They ate the food. Once the food touched her tongue, Fang Daiyu turned to Bai Xifeng.

"Xifeng, you can open a restaurant in the future. Your cooking is so delicious." Fang Daiyu said. She then turned to her grandfather and brother. "It is delicious, right?"

Old Man Fang and Fang Zihao also nodded. Their hands were very fast, grabbing the food. They finished the meal quickly. Fang Zihao and Fang Daiyu offered to wash the dishes.

After that, they continued their journey. They arrived at Subei City in the evening. The carriage stopped in front of a mansion.

"Is this your house?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"No... It is just my relative's house. We are going to sleep here." Old Man Fang stated.

"I can just find an inn to stay over for a night." Bai Xifeng said.

"How can I let you stay here? It is dangerous for a girl to stay at that kind of place." Old Man Fang said.

"But..." Bai Xifeng wanted to say more.

Old Man Fang had already knocked on the door. The door was open.

"Who are you?" The guard looked warily at Old Man Fang.

"I am Fang Shanyuan. Friend of your Patriarch. Please inform him about this." Old Man Fang stated.

The guard nodded, closed the door back and went to inform the butler. The butler went to inform the patriarch.

After 10 minutes, the door was opened again. The butler came out and invited them to enter the mansion. Bai Xifeng looked at the signboard. Yuan Residence. The butler brought them to the main hall.

"Shanyuan, you finally arrived at my house." A man of a similar age to Old Man Fang came forward to greet Old Man Fang friendly.

"Wenyan... How are you these years?" Old Man Fang greeted Patriarch Yuan with a smile.

"Totally fine and healthy too." Patriarch Yuan patted his biceps.

Bai Xifeng looked at Patriarch Yuan. She could tell immediately that this old man was someone who liked his muscles.

Patriarch Yuan looked at the people behind his friend. "Are they your grandchildren?"

"These two are my grandchildren. Fang Zihao and Fang Daiyu." Old Man Fang pointed to Fang Zihao and Fang Daiyu. "As for this young lady, we met on the way. Her name is Bai Xifeng."

The three of them greeted Patriarch Yuan. Patriarch Yuan's eyes lingered on Bai Xifeng. His expression showed that he was trying to remember something.

"Why are you staring at her like that?" Old Man Fang asked.

"Oh... I am sorry. I just think I saw her before. But I don't remember when." Patriarch Yuan stated.

Bai Xifeng did not say anything. However, she probably thought the woman that Patriarch Yuan met before must be her mother. Her father told her that she was a replica of her mother. The exact carbon copy of her mother. Patriarch Yuan probably saw her mother before her capture.

Patriach Yuan moved to another topic, catching up with his friend. They had a lot to say while the younger generation was munching on the snack that they served.

Then, the frantic footsteps could be heard. It seemed it was heading in this direction.

"Patriarch Yuan, Madam Qin is going to give birth." A servant informed Patriarch Yuan.

Before Patriarch Yuan could celebrate the occasion, the servant gave him more news. "But Madam Su is having difficulty. The midwife stated the position of the baby is wrong. Master Jian asked to call you."

Patriarch Yuan rushed out without thinking. Bai Xifeng also followed him. The Fang Family had no choice but to tag along. They arrived at a courtyard.

"Father, what should I do?" A man rushed to grab Patriarch Yuan.

He must be the husband of the woman who was about to give birth, since he was very panicked at the moment.

"Yuan Jian, calm down." Patriarch Yuan forced Yuan Jian.

Then, the midwife came out of the room.

"Have you made any decision? We need to decide whether to choose the mother or the baby. We can not delay this matter anymore. If we wait any longer, the mother and the baby will be in danger." The midwife stated.

Yuan Jian was pale. He did not know how to choose. One was his wife, and the other was his children.

"Excuse me. Can I say something?" Bai Xifeng broke the silence.

Everyone turned to Bai Xifeng. Yuan Jian was confused. He did not know this person.

"If you allow me to help, I think I can save both of them." Bai Xifeng stated.

"What? Really?" Yuan Jian saw the glimpse of hope.

"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng nodded.

The midwife looked at Bai Xifeng. This girl looked like she was just fifteen years old. How could she have the ability to save the mother and the baby? She was about to say something when she heard Patriarch Yuan agreed to allow Bai Xifeng to do whatever it took to save his daughter in law and his grandchild.
