Once these words were said, even Feng Yu Heng was shocked.
She had been in this era for so long. How could she not have heard of imperial tutor Ye Rong. He was an all-rounder. Although he was old, his body was so strong that even people in their early thirties could not compare to him. The current Emperor respected him as his master. How many academies in the world worshipped Ye Rong's statue. To be able to be taken in by Ye Rong, this was a great fortune for Zirui!
Yao shi ignored Xuan Tian Ge's attempts to stop her and forcefully pulled Zirui to kowtow three times to Xuan Tian Ge. Feng Yu Heng also walked forward. Looking at Xuan Tian Ge, she sincerely said: "Thank you."
The matriarch and Feng Jin Yuan also kowtowed. Regardless of whether Zirui was the son of the first wife or the son of a concubine, for the Feng family to be able to produce a disciple of imperial tutor Ye Rong, they would have some face in front of the current Emperor. It had to be known that Ye Rong only had one disciple in his entire life, and that was the Emperor! Feng Zirui, from this moment onwards, he would be the Emperor's true junior disciple. Nobody could compare.
Feng Jin Yuan's heart was in turmoil. He thought that when the Yao family met with trouble, the Ye family did not interfere. Now that they had taken in Zirui, this was announcing to the world that the Ye family and the Yao family had not broken off their relationship. It was also telling the current Emperor that this was the Ye family's attitude!
The matriarch suddenly had an idea. Now that the Shen Clan was dead, if Yao shi returned to the position of head wife, for the Feng family, it would be quite good.
Xuan Tian Ge glanced at everyone then spoke once more: "As for the second grace … …" She lightly stepped forward and grabbed Yao shi's hand, "Aunty Yao, my father Emperor said that members of the Yao family can participate in the Fall imperial examination."
"Really?" Even Yao shi did not dare believe this news. The Yao family had committed such a large crime, such that she was chased out of the Feng manor overnight. She had thought that her maternal family would never be able to make a comeback; however, she did not think that she would be able to participate in the Imperial Examinations in her younger life.
"Of course it's true." Xuan Tiange smiled and said to her: "Father Emperor specially told me about this news and told me to tell Aunty Yao about it first. As for Huang Zhou, the imperial edict was sent down this morning." Xuan Tian Ge said this while looking at Feng Jin Yuan: "Although this grace is not directly related to the Feng family, thinking about it, Lord Feng should be happy for the Yao family, right!"
Feng Jin Yuan's mind was a complete mess. For a while, he was truly unable to understand. Why had the situation become like this after three years?
Feng Zirui was accepted by the royal preceptor, Ye Rong, and the descendants of the Yao family could even participate in the imperial examination. What were they trying to do? Was the Yao family going to make a comeback?
He retracted his thoughts and quickly replied to Xuan Tian Ge: "This official is naturally happy. Many thanks to Imperial Daughter for conveying the message. This official will definitely go to the palace to thank His Majesty for his grace."
Xuan Tian Ge nodded, "Us sisters have also stayed for a long time and will not disturb you any further. Today, we sisters have brought gifts for Old Madame. Because we are all girls, I think Lord Feng won't blame us. "
Feng Jin Yuan said: "Naturally."
"Since that's the case, we will not remain any longer." She nodded to Feng Yu Heng and was about to leave with her sisters, but a servant outside announced: "His Highness Prince Xiang has arrived!"
This sort of announcement came one after another in the Feng family. Feng Jin Yuan was a standard first rank official, and the people that had come to offer condolences were all people of status. Which one of them would not announce their arrival? But the third prince was different from the others. Him being able to come was something that Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch, who knew about it, had to take seriously.
Chen Yu heard that Prince Xiang had arrived at the manor, and her heart tightened.
To her, this person meant her future. It meant her marriage. It meant that she would have to spend the rest of her life with him. But even now, she did not know what Prince Xiang looked like. Her mind was filled with Prince Chun's face.
With Prince Xiang's arrival, everyone knelt in the yard once more. Aside from Xuan Tian Ge, who was still standing, everyone else knelt on the ground.
Xuan Tian Ge looked at the people of the Feng family and felt it was funny. How could she not know what Feng Jin Yuan was thinking, but her third brother …
"You may all rise!" While she was thinking, Xuan Tian Ye had already arrived. Raising his hand, he invited everyone in the Feng manor to rise.
Xuan Tian Ge waved her hand and waved to him: "Third brother."
Xuan Tian Ye nodded, "Tian Ge has become sensible, knowing to come to the Feng manor to take a look. A few days ago, third brother asked someone to bring some fruit from the South. I will have someone send it to your manor later. "
"Thank you third brother. Tian Ge likes eating fruit from the South the most."
The brother and sister chatted for a while before Xuan Tian Ge left with the others. Xuan Tian Ye went to the mourning hall and lit some incense. His gaze remained on Chen Yu for a long time.
Chen Yu did not dare look straight at him from being stared at, but she did not feel her heart race.
The people of the Xuan family all looked good. Even the disfigured Ninth Prince still had an extraordinary bearing.
But this Xuan Tian Ye, Chen Yu truly did not feel that he was outstanding in any way. Whether it was his figure or his appearance, everything was normal. It was just that his cold face made him appear a bit more dignified.
She then recalled the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, and felt that he truly was the best man in the world. He had a refined bearing, a moist smile, and a voice that was like a spring breeze. It made people unconsciously want to get close to him.
Xuan Tian Ye's gaze remained on Chen Yu. Who knew where her thoughts had flown off to.
Xuan Tian Ye snorted then flicked his sleeve and left.
The matriarch's heart was in her throat the entire time. She quickly gave Feng Jin Yuan a look, telling him to personally send him off.
In truth, there was no need for the matriarch to say anything. Feng Jin Yuan would naturally personally send Prince Xiang off.
The two left the manor together. Only when they reached the entrance did Xuan Tian Ye coldly say to Feng Jin Yuan: "I heard that Lord Feng's son to the first wife caused a joke today."
Feng Jin Yuan was helpless. Truly, good news did not leave the house, while bad news spread far and wide. Feng Zi Hao causing a ruckus was seen by so many people. Perhaps the entire capital was treating it as a joke.
Seeing him like this, Xuan Tian Ye felt a burst of anger, "If Prime minister Feng can't even control your own child, how can you talk about helping I succeed?"
Feng Jin Yuan quickly bowed and said: "Would your Highness please be at ease. This official will definitely take care of everything at home. I definitely will not cause your Highness any trouble."
"Then Lord Feng will need to be a bit more attentive. To deal with external problems, you must first deal with internal problems. There is no need for I to say anything more about this. Do not allow your son to ruin this important matter. Also, "He paused for a moment then looked towards the Feng manor before saying:" That person just now was Chen Yu? "
Feng Jin Yuan nodded: "She is."
"Un, she really is stunning. I can tell Prime minister Feng that your daughter's heart is not with I, but as a person, she must do everything that she should do for I. Keep your guard up. Do not have any other thoughts and mess up I's important matter. "
After saying these final words, Xuan Tian Ye turned and left with his servants.
Feng Jin Yuan felt a cold sweat form on his back. Had Prince Xiang seen through Chen Yu's thoughts? After the funeral was over, he needed to give Chen Yu and Zi Hao a warning. He must not let Chen Yu and Zi Hao ruin his important matter as Prince Xiang had said.
That day, from morning until night, the Feng family's doorstep was nearly broken by the number of people that came. Dinner was only eaten a full four hours later.
After the meal, the matriarch's strength was exhausted, so she went back to rest first. Only a few servants were left to keep watch, while everyone else returned to their own courtyards. The Chen family had also sent people over, stating that they would be arriving at the Feng manor at the end of the day to attend the funeral of the Shen Clan.
Because of the two graces that Xuan Tian Ge had brought, Yao shi was so moved that she could not sleep the entire night. Feng Yu Heng moved into Yao shi's room to chat with her. The two only closed their eyes for a while when the sun was about to rise. Before they could even close their eyes, they were woken up by Huang Quan: "Madam, young miss, let's get up. The Chen family's people have already arrived at the Feng manor's entrance."
With the Shen Clan being sent off by the Chen family, the Feng manor saved quite a bit of trouble. They only had to kneel when the coffin was raised. After the steward shouted a few words, the coffin was lifted and placed in a carriage outside.
Feng Zi Hao was also supported by servants to pay respects to the Shen Clan. Seeing the coffin being lifted into the carriage, Feng Zi Hao began to cry.
With him crying, Chen Yu also began to cry.
Chen Wan Liang looked at the two children and felt emotional. He was about to say a few words of consolation; however, he heard Feng Zi Hao cry while saying: "Mother is gone. In the future, who will Zi Hao ask for money to spend?"
This one sentence nearly made Chen Wanliang vomit blood in anger.
He turned around and cupped his hands to Feng Jin Yuan, saying: "Prime minister Feng, at present, my Chen family does not blame anyone. It's all because my elder sister did not properly discipline her own children. I hope that prime minister Feng will be more strict with them from this day forward. It must not be the same as it was in the past. Also, my Chen family will be withdrawing our business from the capital as quickly as possible. The entire family will move back. In the future … I fear that it will be difficult to see them again. "
Feng Jin Yuan was also very emotional. After all, it had been many years. No matter what was said, the Shen Clan had done the Feng family a great favor in the beginning.
He sighed and said: "You must be careful along the way. Who can foresee what will happen in the future. If there are any difficulties in the old home, just send someone over. After all, you are still Zi Hao and Chen Yu's uncles. "
Chen Wan Liang did not say anything else. Waving his hand, he left with the funeral procession.
This bit of trouble caused the hearts of the Feng family's concubine mothers to turn cold.
The dignified head wife of the family, yet after her death, the Feng family had no one to send her off. They had to carry the coffin back to the old home. What sort of situation was this?
If the head wife was like this, if there came a day when it was their turn …
Han shi had been locked up. Because she had to send off the Shen Clan, she was brought into the crowd by a servant. She originally really wanted to plead with Feng Jin Yuan and have him let Fen Dai go, but seeing the Shen Clan in such a miserable state, she felt that she did not have the confidence to help Fen Dai.
Just as she was about to return to her own courtyard, she heard Feng Jin Yuan suddenly call out to her: "Han shi!"
She rejoiced, as she thought that Feng Jin Yuan finally could not bear to ignore her. Quickly raising her head, a charming look appeared in her eyes once more.
But Feng Jin Yuan's mind was currently filled with matters. How could he be in the mood to appreciate her charming looks. He only coldly told her: "Go back to your courtyard and pack up Fen Dai's things. Before noon today, I will arrange for someone to send her to the residence in the suburbs of the capital."
"What?" Han shi was extremely shocked, "Husband, you are …"
"There's no need to say anything." Feng Jin Yuan appeared to be exhausted, "She planted this evil fruit, so she can only eat it herself." As he said this, he looked at the other concubine mothers, "You should also remember today's matters. Although you are not the head wife, the young master and young miss were still raised by you. You must not raise them like Fen Dai and cause me grief."
The concubine mothers all complied. Feng Yu Heng, however, raised her chin and asked Feng Jin Yuan: "What about the explanation father said you would give me yesterday?"
