Feng Jin Yuan felt that having this sort of daughter was truly too shameful. In a fit of anger, he flicked his sleeve and said: "Send fourth young miss back to her room. Send someone to watch over her. She absolutely cannot be allowed to take half a step out of her room!"
Han shi was extremely shocked and recalled the punishment that the Feng family had given to the Shen Clan a few days ago. In an instant, she seemed to have seen Fen Dai's future with the Shen Clan "Husband!" She hugged Feng Jin Yuan's leg, "Husband, you cannot treat Fen Dai like this! She is still a young child and does not understand anything. Husband cannot kill Fen Dai like the head madam! "
"Killed?" Feng Yu Heng was extremely shocked, "Mother was killed?"
"Nonsense!" Feng Jin Yuan kicked Han shi far away. His heart no longer had the slightest bit of concern for his beloved concubine, "How could my Feng family have a mother and daughter like you? Servants! Lock the two of them up! "
Immediately, servants came forward and dragged Han shi and Fen Dai away. Finally, the sound of the commotion faded away. Feng Jin Yuan turned around and said to Feng Yu Heng: "Heng, do not worry. Father will definitely give you an explanation for today's matters."
He was naturally referring to Fen Dai's actions. Feng Yu Heng smiled and even saluted to her father, saying: "Then Heng will thank father. For father to be able to give Heng justice by punishing eldest brother, Heng Heng is truly overwhelmed by favor." Seeing Feng Jin Yuan's face turn even whiter, she continued: "Father, quickly go to the front yard. Don't keep the two Highnesses waiting."
Feng Jin Yuan helplessly nodded and quickly left.
Seeing Feng Jin Yuan leave with his people, Yao shi, An shi, Xiang Rong and Zirui all gathered around. Zirui did not understand what exactly had happened, so he asked Feng Yu Heng: "Why did fourth sister speak to his Highness' elder brother like that?"
Feng Yu Heng patted his head and told him: "Because your fourth sister has lived long enough."
Yao shi advised her: "Don't scare a young child."
Only then did she soften her voice and say: "Zirui will grow up one day. Sooner or later, he will know about the filthy matters of the Feng manor."
An shi also had a belly full of anger, "That Fen Dai's personality is extremely similar to that of the Shen Clan. With this sort of thing happening in the manor, who knows what sort of situation will occur in the future."
Feng Yu Heng sneered, "Who cares if it's bright or not. Let's just live our own lives." As she spoke, she pulled Xiang Rong and Zirui towards the front yard. Yao shi and An shi also quickly followed.
The mourning hall was rebuilt in the Peony Courtyard. Xuan Tianhua went to light three incense sticks as a sign of respect. Xuan Tianming, on the other hand, only watched from the side with the excuse that his legs were inconvenient.
Feng Jin Yuan naturally did not dare argue. Being able to have two Highnesses come to pay respects was already giving him a lot of face. If it was not for the disturbance that occurred today, his Feng family's face would have been greatly improved. Thinking like this, he was extremely disappointed in his son and daughter.
Xuan Tianhua placed the incense sticks in the incense burner then said to the matriarch and Xuan Tianhua: "My condolences." The two quickly thanked Xuan Tianhua.
After the condolences were over, they prepared to leave. Xuan Tianhua turned around and saw a plain-clothed girl leisurely walking in from the outside.
He was stunned for a moment. When the girl came closer, he found that she was Feng Chen Yu, who had already changed her clothes and drawn her eyebrows.
Chen Yu arrived at the mourning hall and did not have time to greet Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch. She directly rushed over to Xuan Tianhua and bowed before him. Using an extremely soft and pleasant voice, she said: "Chen Yu thanks your Highness the seventh prince for coming to mourn my mother. Chen Yu will remember your Highness' intentions."
Xuan Tianhua, however, shook his head and did not give her any face, directly saying: "Eldest young miss Feng is too courteous. Something happened to younger sister's family, so I accompanied Ming on a trip." I came for Feng Yu Heng. It really has nothing to do with you.
Chen Yu was extremely embarrassed, but she could not act out. She could only smile and fall silent. She raised her gaze and looked straight at Xuan Tianhua. Her eyes were filled with love that could not be suppressed.
"Chen Yu." Feng Jin Yuan could no longer bear to continue watching, "The two Highnesses will be returning to the manor. Move aside."
Chen Yu was startled and subconsciously said: "Your Highness will be leaving so quickly? It would be better to stay at the manor for a meal. "
Xuan Tianhua was puzzled and asked her: "Is your Feng family holding a wedding or a funeral?" After that, he did not speak any further. Turning around, he pushed Xuan Tianming away.
Chen Yu froze in place and heard the person sitting in the wheelchair let out a mocking laugh, loudly saying: "Eldest young miss Feng, one side of your eyebrows is high and the other side is low!"
Feng Chen Yu quickly covered her face with her hands, but she found that his Highness the seventh prince did not even turn around to look at her. She could not help but feel her heart ache.
Feng Jin Yuan looked at Chen Yu's appearance, and a feeling of disappointment welled up from the bottom of his heart. There were times when he really wondered if he had committed a sin. Why were all these children so worrisome? Un, there were some that were worrisome, such as Xiang Rong and An shi. That mother and daughter pair truly never caused him any trouble.
"Chen Yu." Feng Jin Yuan took a couple steps forward and stood at Chen Yu's side. Looking forward, he lowered his voice and spoke to her. "You need to understand what you should do and what you should not do. This sort of thing, father does not want to see a next time."
Chen Yu's heart suddenly sank, as she unwillingly asked: "The person father chooses must be the third prince?"
"Yes."
"But the third prince has an official princess!"
"An official princess is an official princess. As long as you are obedient, you will definitely be the future empress."
"Why can it not be his Highness the seventh prince?"
Feng Jin Yuan frowned once more and helplessly said: "You do not understand the matters of the court, but father will not harm you. The one I choose for you will definitely be the most spacious path in the world. Chen Yu, remember, you have the aspect of the phoenix. In the future, you will be the mother of the world. "
Mother of the world, these four words were like a curse that left a mark on Chen Yu's heart. Her restless heart finally calmed down a little, and her face gradually calmed down. She was finally able to use a calm voice to say to Feng Jin Yuan: "Daughter remembers."
Finally, the Feng family's funeral began as usual. The women of the manor returned to the mourning hall to keep vigil, while Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch received the guests.
When it was almost time for dinner, the Chen family arrived. Leading them was Chen Wan Liang. Behind him were the Chen family's eldest master, Chen Wan Jin, and the second master, Chen Wan Shun.
The matriarch watched the three aggressively walk over and knew that they were here for no good reason. Her heart also began to pound. The Shen Clan's funeral was already a mess, and the Feng family had already become the laughingstock of the capital. If the maternal family came to cause a ruckus, how could Feng Jin Yuan have the face to go out and meet people?
The matriarch quietly reminded Feng Jin Yuan: "Do your best not to argue with them. In the future, argue however you want behind closed doors. You must not lose face at this sort of time."
Feng Jin Yuan nodded. He understood this reasoning, but could the Chen family miss out on such a good opportunity?
Clearly, they could not.
They saw the one with the most authority in the Chen family, Chen Wan Liang, quickly step forward and kneel in front of the Shen Clan's memorial tablet. Facing the new coffin, he began to cry: "Elder sister! You died so miserably! " He cried and lit three sticks of incense. When he stood up and faced Feng Jin Yuan, his eyes were filled with anger: "The cause of my elder sister's death, could Lord Feng provide an explanation?"
He did not even call him brother-in-law. When he opened his mouth, he called him Lord Feng. It was clear that he had already drawn a clear line with the Feng family.
Feng Jin Yuan also had a belly full of anger. He could not deal with the princes, but he still did not place the Chen family in his eyes. He immediately replied: "Everyone knows that the Shen Clan died from a serious illness. What sort of explanation do you want?"
"Serious illness?" Chen Wan Liang gnashed his teeth in hatred, "If she was seriously ill, why did you not invite a doctor to treat her?"
Feng Jin Yuan replied with a question: "How do you know that I did not invite one? My Feng family may not be as wealthy as your Chen family, but it is not to the extent that we cannot even afford to pay a doctor. "
The Chen family's eldest master, Chen Wan Jin, was finally unable to endure and spoke: "My younger sister's health has always been excellent. How could she suddenly fall ill with a life-threatening illness? Feng Jin Yuan, if you do not provide an explanation today, do not blame me for being impolite! "
"Impudent!" The matriarch also became angry, directly asking Chen Wan Jin: "Impolite? Who are you speaking to? You are threatening the current court's first rank official! I will tell you, based on these words of yours, if anything happens to Jin Yuan in the future, your entire Chen family will be sent to prison! "
Chen Wan Liang glared at his elder brother then turned to the matriarch and said: "My eldest brother is excessively sad and has made a slip of the tongue. Would elder madam please forgive him, but we are truly unable to accept the cause of our younger sister's death. We would like the Feng family to provide an explanation."
At this time, Chen Yu, who had been standing to the side without speaking, spoke up. Looking at her three uncles, her eyes filled with tears, she sadly said: "Uncles, father did not lie to you. Mother has indeed fallen ill. The family has invited many doctors, and even two imperial physicians from the palace have been invited, but … they could not cure her!"
Chen Wan Liang looked at Chen Yu and did not speak for a long time. He practically could not believe that the one who had said such a thing was the niece that he had loved dearly from a young age. This Chen Yu, who had always cared for her mother, how could she lie through her teeth at this sort of time?
Others did not know about the Shen Clan's matters, but he, Chen Wan Liang, was well aware. What exactly the Feng family had done, although he did not personally see it, he was able to guess most of it. Moreover, he had personally gone to find medicine for the Shen Clan. He had even sent people to deliver the medicine, but the people who delivered the medicine all died in the Feng manor.
He could not help but ask Chen Yu: "Do you know what you are saying? Do you know who is lying in that coffin? "
Chen Yu's expression became even more sorrowful, "Of course I know. That is my mother. She was the mother that gave birth to me after ten months of pregnancy."
"Then why do you still speak like this?"
"But my father is also here!" Once Chen Yu said this, tears began to fall, "Uncle, mother died from an illness. Chen Yu can testify."
Chen Wan Liang closed his eyes, as two streams of tears flowed out.
He knew that Chen Yu wanted to protect him.
That's right! This niece had always been smart. The Feng family had promised her a glorious future. The allure of that future was enough to make her abandon everything else. If sacrificing a mother could protect her future, why would Chen Yu not do it?
"Forget it." Chen Wan Liang felt both physically and mentally exhausted. His original desire to avenge his younger sister was instantly extinguished. He turned around and said to his two brothers: "Let's light some incense for elder sister. From this day forward, the Chen family and the Feng family … will sever all ties."
