Because of the large fire that Feng Zi Hao had started, it had entered the coffin through the corner that had been cut off. The fire on the outside had been extinguished, but who could have thought that the fire would continue to burn inside the coffin. When everyone rushed in and opened the coffin, they found that the Shen Clan had already been burned to the point that only half remained.
The matriarch staggered in fear and fell to the ground. The cane in her hand was also thrown away. Her eyes were blank, as though she had been petrified.
Granny Zhao was anxious and shouted to Feng Yu Heng: "Second young miss, quickly come and take a look at the matriarch."
Feng Yu Heng walked over and pulled out a silver needle from her sleeve. She pressed it against the matriarch's neck. Only then did the matriarch sober up. She then began to cry: "What sort of sin did the Feng family commit? Why did they suffer such a heavenly punishment? "
Xuan Tianming very seriously said to her: "Matriarch, do not panic. Tomorrow, I will invite a master to perform a ritual for the Feng family. He will definitely help you find out what sort of sin was committed."
Feng Jin Yuan wanted to curse, but he did not dare. He could only order He Zhong to quickly buy a new coffin. As for the person, either way, she would be placed inside the coffin. It was fine as long as outsiders could not see her.
Feng Yu Heng helped the matriarch up and comforted her, saying: "Things have already reached this point. Grandmother, do not be too sad. Although Heng does not understand what sort of enmity eldest brother has with mother that he would do such a thing. Mother has already passed away. Eldest brother is burning the corpse. "
The matriarch heard about this on the way over. She could not help but glare at Feng Yu Heng. She spoke up for Feng Yu Heng: "Can this be blamed on Heng Heng? They are both your flesh and blood. They are both my grandchildren. Even if you don't dote on her, I dote on her! During the funeral, I will not argue with you. When the matter is resolved, you must give me an explanation. I want to ask, who exactly said what to Zi Hao? "
With the matriarch shouting, Feng Jin Yuan also realized that someone must have told Zi Hao some things along the way. That was why Zi Hao believed that his mother was killed by Feng Yu Heng.
Speaking of this matter, Feng Yu Heng was indeed wronged. Now that Prince Yu and Prince Chun were both here, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit defeat to that second daughter of his!
Thinking to this point, Feng Jin Yuan looked towards Feng Yu Heng. His mood calmed down a little, as he said to her in a kind manner: "Father was also muddled by anger and did not take care of your grievances. Heng Cheng, for the sake of such a big thing happening in the manor, please be considerate of your father. Today's matter is all your big brother's fault. When the funeral is over, I will detain him and make him apologize to you. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded. "Okay! When the time comes, she would also ask her father to tell Heng the truth. Who was the one who instigated Big Brother to do this? If father is unable to find out, then Heng Cheng can go investigate on her own. "
Feng Jin Yuan quickly said: "There will definitely be a result." While saying this, he looked towards the two princes: "I have allowed your Highnesses to see something laughable. Now that the mourning hall has been destroyed, coming to offer condolences is impossible. How about your Highnesses go to the main hall to rest for a while. This official will have people redecorate the mourning hall."
Xuan Tianhua nodded, "Then Lord Feng should quickly take care of the matters at home. Brother Emperor and I will go sit in the main hall."
Feng Jin Yuan bowed and respectfully sent them off. He then gave Feng Yu Heng a look, meaning for her to go take care of them.
Who knew that Feng Yu Heng did not have any plans to go. She only said to the two: "I will stay here to take care of grandmother. Xuan Tianming, how about you bring Seventh Brother to Tong Sheng pavilion to sit. Zirui is still over there. Help me take care of him."
Feng Jin Yuan's nose nearly became crooked from the anger. I told you to take care of the guest. As a result, not only did you have the guest take care of himself, you also had him take care of the child.
But before he could refute, Xuan Tianming very happily nodded: "When I came, I brought some of that brat's favorite pastries. Seventh Brother also prepared a set of ink and brushes from the Western Empire. This will be sent to him as well."
"Then go quickly!" She waved to the two, "Seventh Brother, have a safe journey."
Xuan Tianhua smiled and took the initiative to push Xuan Tianming's wheelchair. Bringing along a group of guards, they left Jin Yu courtyard.
Seeing the two leave, the people of the Feng family finally let out a sigh of relief. Feng Jin Yuan quickly ordered the servants to bring Feng Zi Hao back to Jian Ling pavilion. He then quickly called for a doctor to examine his injuries. He then glanced at Han shi, who had collapsed on the ground in fear. He could not help but frown: "I have never seen you so timid before. What are you doing? Quickly get up. "
An shi supported Han shi from the side and felt that Han shi's entire body was trembling, thus she said: "I'm afraid that younger sister's body has not recovered yet. After being frightened like this, it's gotten worse."
The matriarch waved her hand to Han shi in irritation: "Quickly return to your courtyard and lie down. Don't cause trouble here."
Han shi did not have time to give thanks for the grace. Supported by a servant, she left the mourning hall.
She had indeed been frightened. Upon seeing Xuan Tianming, she had been scared witless. Because of this person, Fen Dai had cursed and hit her. When she saw Xuan Tianming, she wanted to vomit blood.
Leaving Jin Yu courtyard, Han shi leaned on the servant that she had brought with her. She subconsciously muttered: "Fortunately, Fen Dai was not here. Otherwise, if she saw that the Ninth Prince had come, who knows what sort of trouble would have occurred."
The servant was suddenly startled then anxiously said: "Concubine mother, hold on a little longer. We need to quickly return."
"What is it?" Han shi was puzzled. Why would the usually steady servant suddenly become so anxious?
The servant stomped her foot: "Fourth young miss is not here at this moment, but is it possible that news of the Ninth Prince arriving at the manor and not leaving has not reached our courtyard? I fear that it has already reached fourth young miss' ears! "
Han shi was immediately given a start, "This is bad!"
While she was rushing back to her courtyard, Feng Jin Yuan simply ordered He Zhong to build a new mourning hall in Peony courtyard. With this place having been burned to such a state, it could not be used again.
The matriarch snorted and unreconciled, saying: "A perfectly fine Peony courtyard has been tainted with bad luck for no reason." As she spoke, she looked toward Feng Jin Yuan and suddenly asked: "Then when the Ninth Prince swung his whip, were you scared witless? You even want to push me out. Why don't you just let him whip your mother to death? "
Feng Jin Yuan was so scared that he quickly lifted his robe and knelt, "Mother, you absolutely must not say such a thing. Even if son must block the whip, I must not allow mother to be harmed in the slightest!" While saying this, he looked at Feng Yu Heng, his tone full of helplessness: "A-Heng, father knows that today's matters have caused your heart to turn cold, but can you take into account the fact that you are related by blood and stop encouraging his Highness Prince Yu to whip your own people?"
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled: "When did I encourage him? It was eldest brother that ran over on his own and shouted something about wanting Xuan Tianhua to redress his mother's grievances? Could it be that father did not hear it? "
Of course, Feng Jin Yuan heard it. Helplessly clenching his fist, he fiercely slammed it against the tiled ground, "Zi Hao has been spoiled rotten by his mother." As he spoke, he remembered something that he wanted to say to Feng Yu Heng: "Heng, father must remind you that those two are princes. They are princes. How can you call them by their names?"
Before Feng Yu Heng could reply, the matriarch became angry first: "Can you take care of a bit of proper business? A-Heng has a good relationship with the ninth prince. Did you not see that when she called him by his name, the ninth prince still had a very happy expression? Did you not hear Heng and the Seventh Prince repeatedly call each other Seventh Brother? Heng is a child that knows her limits. Do not treat her as a scoundrel like Zi Hao! "
Feng Jin Yuan was scolded until he lost his temper. He could only nod and no longer say anything.
Feng Yu Heng picked up the matriarch's scepter and returned it to her hands. She was very satisfied with the matriarch's performance today. She could see that the matriarch was not saying these things to curry favor with her to gain any benefits. Instead, the matriarch truly thought this way.
Once again holding the scepter in her hands, the matriarch's mood calmed down a great deal. She could not help but grab Feng Yu Heng's hand and gently pat the back of her hand. "Heng, grandmother is old. I can no longer control this family. In the future, stay a little further away from your eldest brother. Don't let him go crazy and hurt you again. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Grandmother, do not worry. Heng will be careful."
The matriarch glanced at Feng Jin Yuan and helplessly shook her head. Her gaze wandered outside as though she was thinking of something.
At this time, Xuan Tianhua was pushing Xuan Tianming towards Tong Sheng pavilion. A servant led the way until they reached the moon gate in Willow courtyard. She then stopped: "Your Highness, Tong Sheng pavilion is just ahead."
Xuan Tianhua nodded and gently said to the servant: "We will go in on our own. You can go back."
The girl's face turned red in an instant. She bowed to the two of them, covered her face, and ran away.
The servant guarding the entrance of Tong Sheng pavilion naturally knew who had come. Long before the two deities had arrived, someone had come to report ahead of time. Now that they had arrived, she quickly went forward and saluted. She then led them to the inner courtyard where the masters lived.
Yao shi had gone to the Feng manor early in the morning. At noon, she returned to Tong Sheng pavilion to take care of Zirui. Just before Xuan Tianming and the others arrived, she was about to go over, but Huang Quan ran over first and told her what had happened in the mourning hall.
Yao shi was very shocked and quickly asked: "Was Heng injured? You said Zi Hao used his sword? Did he hurt our Heng? Was the fire very fierce? Wang Chuan will protect Heng, right? "
These words happened to be heard by Xuan Tianming and Huang Quan. He couldn't help but say: "Did you hear that? That's a real mother."
Xuan Tianhua nodded, but he also refuted him: "Not all foster mothers are bad. To me, our concubine mother is the same as my birth mother."
Xuan Tianming replied shamelessly: "Of course! How could my mother be the same as other people's mothers! "
The two of them did not hide their conversation from the others. Yao shi and Huang Quan had heard it long ago. Yao shi pulled Zirui, who had just run over, forward and was about to kneel and pay respects to them; however, they were stopped by Xuan Tianhua.
"Madam, there is no need to be like this."
Xuan Tianming also said: "You are Heng's mother. If I accept your greeting, Heng will bite me."
Yao shi felt a wave of awkwardness. What did he mean by bite him?
Feng Zirui was very happy to see Xuan Tianming. The child did not know what fear was. He jogged over to Xuan Tianming and crisply said: "Your Highness is very powerful. Did you come to see my older sister?"
He had now become chubby. His little face was round and very cute.
Xuan Tianming picked up the child and placed him on the armrest of the wheelchair. He told him: "I've already seen your older sister. I'm here to see you."
As he said this, the imperial bodyguard behind him handed a bag of snacks to Zirui.
At this time, a servant jogged over to Huang Quan's side and quietly said to her: "Fourth Miss is coming this way."
