Feng Jin Yuan retracted his gaze. He did not know when this daughter of his had become so unpredictable. Upon returning to the manor, she had provoked the Shen Clan's temper with just a few words. As for herself, she acted as though nothing had happened and watched the fire burn across the river.
"Elder madam!" The Shen Clan saw that Feng Jin Yuan's side could not be reasoned with, so they turned to the matriarch's side.
In regards to Feng Jin Yuan's sudden change of heart, the matriarch was also puzzled and unwilling. But in the end, she was not as stupid as the Shen Clan. Just now, her son had only made the decision after hearing the housekeeper's whisper. Something must have happened outside.
She glared at the Shen Clan and slammed her cane on the ground: "When has it ever been up to you to say no to the decision made by your master! Chen Yu, help your mother back. "
The matriarch had made her position clear. Feng Chen Yu no longer dared to allow the Shen Clan to cause a scene. Leaning over, she gently whispered into her ear: "Mother, do not worry. Father will make his own decisions. He will not treat Chen Yu unfairly."
Secretly glancing at the matriarch's angry face, the Shen Clan twisted the handkerchief in their hands. Half believing and half doubting, they followed their daughter out.
Passing by the young Feng Zirui's side, the anger in her chest seemed to want to burst out, as she fiercely pushed Feng Zirui.
How could a young child withstand this push. Feng Zirui retreated a couple steps and plopped down on the ground.
Even though the fall hurt, he did not cry. He only tightly bit his lip and tightly clenched his two small fists. His breathing was a little rushed.
Feng Yu Heng and Yao shi helped Feng Zirui up. Yao shi felt distressed and wiped away some tears. Feng Yu Heng, however, faintly sighed. Using a voice that sounded like she was talking to herself but guaranteed that everyone in the room could hear, she said: "It really is full of misfortunes. Along the way, a coachman suddenly died. Returning to the manor, it is not peaceful. Rather than this, it would be better for us to stay in the mountain village."
When she mentioned the coachman's sudden death, she deliberately looked at the other people's reactions.
Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Shen Clan and Feng Chen Yu, who were just about to step out of the door, stiffen unnaturally. He then quickly left the main hall.
The matriarch did not have much of a reaction, but when Feng Yu Heng glanced over, she found that Feng Jin Yuan's pupils had violently contracted.
She sneered as she knew what was going on.
On the way back to Willow courtyard, Feng Yu Heng kept guessing what housekeeper He Zhong had said to Feng Jin Yuan. She could see that when the Shen Clan mentioned sending her to the temple, Feng Jin Yuan was moved. Including the old lady.
Now that she had left the residence and entered the temple, there were endless possibilities.
Thinking about it, the assassination along the way could not be blamed on Yao shi or Feng Zirui. Yao shi was the daughter of a guilty official and had already been demoted to a concubine. Even if she returned to the manor, there was no chance of her turning things around. Although Feng Zirui was a boy, he had the Shen Clan's son of the first wife, Zirui, above him. The Feng family's assets would not fall into Zirui's hands.
Feng Yu Heng was even more certain that all of this was directed at her. Even leaving the manor three years ago was most likely not purely to avoid the Yao family's suspicion.
She was silent the entire way. Yao shi was worried and quietly asked: "Heng Heng, are you too tired from rushing? Why … "
"Hm?" She recovered and looked at Yao shi, "Mother, what do you want to say?"
"I …" Yao shi did not know what to say. After a while, she said: "Just now in the main hall, why were you so sharp?"
"Heh." She raised her lips into a smile, "In the past, we followed the Feng family's arrangements for everything. In the end, what did we get in return? These few years in Xi Ping village, could it be that mother has not had enough? "
When Xi Ping village was mentioned, Yao shi's temper disappeared. Those three years had truly worn away all of her hopes. The reason why she still chose to return to the Feng manor was to find a good future for her two children. With the Feng family in charge, it was better than living in a mountain village.
Granny Sun, who had followed them back, was worried about the Feng family's attitude towards Yao shi. She asked: "Then what did master say about the carriage driver?"
Yao shi sighed and did not answer. Feng Yu Heng reached out and patted granny Sun's shoulder, "Father and grandmother did not say a single word of concern." She was very uncomfortable with the way she spoke, so she simply changed to her usual way of speaking: "They do not care about our life or death. They do not even have the patience to show concern. Therefore, mother, granny, do not count on the Feng manor to treat us well. If they do not secretly harm us, that is already a favor. "
These words were also said for Yao shi to hear. She had to find a chance to talk to her mother slowly. Now was not the time. She was worried about the housekeeper whispering to Feng Jin Yuan.
Since Feng Jin Yuan had changed his mind and allowed them to stay in the Feng manor, that meant he had temporarily acquiesced to the marriage between her and the Ninth Prince. But such a good marriage, the marriage that the Feng family had previously wanted to give to Feng Chen Yu, why did Feng Jin Yuan suddenly change his mind?
She thought of the army that was soaked in grief. The only possibility was … …
Feng Yu Heng suddenly stopped walking. Zirui did not stop and staggered a step. Yao shi also looked at her in confusion, but she furrowed her brow and did not say a word.
But a thought kept churning in her mind. Something happened to the Ninth Prince!
