Chapter 1907 — Feng Xiaoxiao's Plan
Seeing the tenderness in Tang Yun's eyes and the way she cherished her memories of happiness, the Grand Elder and Xue Li shook their heads at the same time. It seemed that such tremendous allure still could not tempt her as much as a single memory.
"All right, I'll say no more. Xiao Li, have Elder Zhang set Yun-yun up with a satellite phone, so she can reach the Ice Palace at any time." Since the Grand Elder had accepted Tang Yun's choice, she no longer restricted her contact with the outside world—though, of course, this phone could only be used to call the Ice Palace's number.
After finishing her call with Tang Yun, Feng Xiaoxiao immediately dialed Gu Mengyao. She could hardly wait to find someone to share her present gloom with.
"Hm?" Shen Yushu blinked at the unfamiliar number on her phone screen and answered, "Hello?"
"Xiao Shu? It's Xiaoxiao!" Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"Ahhh! Xiaoxiao?" Shen Yushu shrieked. "Yao-yao, it's Xiaoxiao on the phone! Ohhhh!"
"Xiaoxiao?" Gu Mengyao was startled too. "We were just talking about her, and now she calls?"
"Mm-hm!" Shen Yushu nodded. "Xiaoxiao, did you miss us?"
"Of course I did. We're the Prankster Duo, aren't we?" Feng Xiaoxiao said. "And Yao-yao too, and my darling Wei Zhao..."
"Oh, right—do you know about what happened to Sister Tang Yun...?" Shen Yushu's delight lasted barely two minutes before the thought of Tang Yun dragged her heart down, and her spirits sank.
"I know..." Feng Xiaoxiao fell silent as well. "Sister Tang Yun just called me..."
"What! She contacted you?" Shen Yushu was taken aback. "Why hasn't she contacted me?"
"Our ancient sects have our own ways of communicating. But her circumstances are stricter than mine. I can call whoever I like, but she doesn't seem able to..." Feng Xiaoxiao said. "The reason she called me this time was about my darling Wei Zhao..."
"Mm, good timing—Yao-yao and I were just looking for you to discuss Arrow-Brand Bro's matter!" Shen Yushu said.
"Oh? You were looking for me too?" Feng Xiaoxiao was surprised. "What's happened to Wei Zhao? Did something happen to him? Is he in trouble?"
"Trouble... he did run into some, but it's over now..." Shen Yushu shook her head.
"So he did get into trouble. Thank goodness he's all right..." Feng Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Then what did you want me for?"
"It's like this. Although Arrow-Brand Bro took the Forgetfulness Herb potion and forgot about Sister Tang Yun, a gap seems to have opened up in his memory..." Shen Yushu said.
"A gap? What do you mean?" Feng Xiaoxiao did not quite follow.
Shen Yushu mulled it over, unsure how to put it more precisely. "Well, specifically, all of Arrow-Brand Bro's memories concerning Sister Tang Yun are gone. That is to say, whether it's you, me, or Yao-yao—anyone connected to Sister Tang Yun, and anything he went through together with her—he doesn't remember any of it. But he does remember you, me, Yao-yao, and the rest. It's just that Sister Tang Yun isn't there..."
"Is that a problem?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked, seeing nothing amiss in what Shen Yushu had described.
"Of course it is." Shen Yushu said. "Arrow-Brand Bro knows you're his little wife, so he's wondering—who is his big wife? But he can't remember, so he keeps asking Yao-yao and me. Luckily we managed to dodge the question, or he'd keep at it and we wouldn't know how to explain. Once is fine, but if it keeps happening, there'll be trouble for sure."
"I see. That's easy enough, isn't it? Yao-yao has always wanted to be the big wife, so just tell my darling Wei Zhao that Yao-yao is his big wife." Feng Xiaoxiao thought it over and said. Though it let Gu Mengyao off easy, Feng Xiaoxiao truly no longer had any thought of opposing them, and if it kept Tang Yun's efforts from being wasted, letting Gu Mengyao pick up the windfall would make everyone happy.
"That won't work..." Shen Yushu shook her head. "I thought of that too, but Arrow-Brand Bro doesn't remember Tang Yun, yet he does remember how we stand with him. Last time he even nearly thought I was sick!"
"That's true..." Feng Xiaoxiao frowned. This really was a knotty problem. If there was a little wife, there had to be a big wife—so who on earth was the big wife?
"That's why Yao-yao and I thought we'd ask you to talk it over with us..." Shen Yushu said helplessly.
"Let me think..." Feng Xiaoxiao pondered carefully. After a while, she suddenly asked, "You mean, my darling Wei Zhao has forgotten everything that happened with me and Sister Yun-yun together, right?"
"Yes, he has no memory of any of it at all," Shen Yushu nodded.
"Then the conversations we had about Sister Yun-yun—he shouldn't have any impression of those either, right?" Feng Xiaoxiao pressed on.
"That should be so. Anything to do with Sister Tang Yun, he doesn't remember," Shen Yushu said.
"Then it's fine—I've got an idea!" Feng Xiaoxiao said suddenly.
"What idea?" Shen Yushu asked quickly.
"We'll say this: that I was the one who pestered my darling Wei Zhao and chased after him on my own initiative..." Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"Wasn't that how it was in the first place?" Shen Yushu was puzzled.
"Not quite—just hear me out!" Feng Xiaoxiao said. "Then you tell my darling Wei Zhao that he wasn't too fond of me, so I begged him to let me be his little wife, and that he was free to find a big wife he liked later, and the three of us could play together!"
"Uh... will that work?" Shen Yushu hesitated. Wei Zhao wasn't a fool—wouldn't he see through it?
"It'll work for sure! Back when my darling Wei Zhao took me in, it was Sister Yun-yun who helped arrange it. Now that he doesn't remember Sister Yun-yun, he'll surely only remember that I chased after him. As for how he came to agree to me, he definitely won't remember—so there's plenty of room in there to work with!" Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"Then doesn't that let Wei Zhao off easy?" After receiving Feng Xiaoxiao's call, Shen Yushu had put the phone on speaker so Gu Mengyao could listen in. Now, hearing Feng Xiaoxiao say Wei Zhao should find another big wife, didn't that mean Wei Zhao would get yet another woman?
So Gu Mengyao gave an involuntary cry of dismay!
