Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow tightly. Her ability to recognize voices was very strong. She was prepared to recognize any voice that she had heard once. Just like the words "be careful," she did not need to raise her head to know who it was directed at.
Gently pulling her arm back, she slightly bowed with a calm expression, "Heng Heng greets his Highness Prince Xiang."
The third prince, Xuan Tian Ye!
Immediately, everyone present knelt once more.
Xuan Tian Ye slightly raised his arm and said: "You may all rise! Today is Lord Bu's funeral. These formalities will be dispensed with. "Saying this, he looked toward Feng Yu Heng," Are you alright? "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head: "Many thanks your Highness for your concern. I am fine."
Xuan Tian Ye did not say anything else; however, he took the initiative to help Feng Yu Heng to the side. Only then did he go forward to light incense for Lord Bu.
He was someone who wanted to do great things. Although the Bu family's attitude was clearly not with him, he still had to put on an act.
Feng Yu Heng returned to the matriarch's side and quietly said: "Grandmother, we should be going back, right?"
The matriarch was a little distracted by Xuan Tian Ye's earlier attitude. Only after being reminded by Feng Yu Heng did she manage to react, "Right, the incense has already been offered. It is time to return to the manor."
She took the initiative to greet Bu Bai Qi before leaving the mourning hall with her three granddaughters.
Many people had come to offer their condolences today. The Bu family could not possibly take care of the Feng family the entire time. After exchanging some pleasantries, they did not send them off any further. But when they reached the front yard, Bu Ni Shang appeared out of nowhere and stopped Feng Yu Heng.
"Young miss Bu." Feng Yu Heng faintly smiled and looked over. She knew that some people would not turn back unless they hit a wall, "Do you feel that the Bu family's funeral was too peaceful today?"
"Hmph!" A fierce look flashed through Bu Ni Shang's eyes, "Feng Yu Heng, remember this. Sooner or later, there will come a day when I will step on you and have you kneel before me."
"Oh!" Feng Yu Heng was so angry that she began to laugh, "I dare ask the Bu family's young miss, if you are speaking like this, are you relying on your aunt that was thrown out by my father Emperor to smash your grandfather to death, or are you relying on your future husband, the fourth prince? If it is the Fourth Prince, I will remember to pass this message to Imperial Father. "
"You …" Bu Ni Shang discovered that she had lost the moment Feng Yu Heng opened her mouth. Not to mention that she was going to tell His Majesty, just the fact that she kept calling His Majesty 'Imperial Father' had completely suppressed her imposing manner. She was also the Emperor's daughter-in-law, but she was allowed to call him Imperial Father. What about her?
Bu Ni Shang angrily glared at Feng Yu Heng. Her face flushed red and she no longer spoke. But when he turned to leave, he gave Chen Yu a look that said they were on the same page.
The Feng matriarch angrily snorted and didn't give Bu Ni Shang any face. She even said: "Is this how the Bu family's children are raised?"
Bu Ni Shang was angry, but no matter what, she did not dare get angry with the Feng matriarch. Once she got angry, that would mean that she had no upbringing. She was so angry that she almost could not breathe. Practically running the entire way, she hoped in her heart that her eldest brother, Bu Cong, would quickly return. The brother that had doted on her the most since she was young would definitely support her.
The Feng family's departure from the manor was delayed by Bu Ni Shang for a while. When they finally left the manor, the third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, had finished burning incense and quickly chased after them.
Chen Yu lowered her head, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She fully believed that Xuan Tian Ye had chased after her to speak with her; however, she did not think that the first thing he said was to Feng Yu Heng: "Do you want I to send you back?"
Chen Yu was extremely shocked and suddenly raised her head to look at Xuan Tian Ye, but his gaze remained on Feng Yu Heng the entire time. He did not even look at her.
The matriarch also felt that something was off. Puzzled, she stared at Xuan Tian Ye and Feng Yu Heng. However, she saw that Feng Yu Heng still had her usual indifferent expression. On her face was a bit like the Ninth Prince's, as she shook her head and said to Xuan Tian Ye: "The Feng family has a carriage. There is no need for third brother to worry."
She said the words third brother to remind Xuan Tian Ye of the relationship between the two. But Chen Yu did not think this way, as she sourly said: "Second sister and his Highness the third prince really are close."
Feng Yu Heng only felt that this elder sister truly did not know what was good for her. As for Xuan Tian Ye, he gave her a look that carried a bit of irritation and disdain. This angered Chen Yu to the point that tears began to well up in her eyes. She then prepared to use her most pitiful expression to change Xuan Tian Ye's attitude.
Unfortunately, Xuan Tian Ye did not even look at her. He only cared about speaking with Feng Yu Heng: "Heng and I regard each other too much as outsiders. Either way, I will need to pass through the Feng manor on my way back, so I wanted to bring you along."
Feng Yu Heng still shook her head, expressing that there was no need.
Xuan Tian Ye did not ask for anything else, only nodding. His expression, which had always been filled with anger, also revealed a smile that seemed to be trying to curry favor. He then bid farewell to the Feng matriarch and left.
The Feng matriarch was completely stunned. As she thought about it, the third prince, aside from Feng Jin Yuan, should have interacted with Chen Yu! Why did he suddenly become so close to Feng Yu Heng today?
She really wanted to ask Feng Yu Heng about this, but when she saw the cold expression on Feng Yu Heng's face, she swallowed the words that had reached her mouth and only said: "Let's go back!"
Just as she said this, the first to move was Chen Yu. She ran towards the carriage as though she was fleeing. Ignoring the support of the maidservants, she climbed into the carriage on her own.
The matriarch knew that she was in a bad mood, so she did not argue with her. She then followed along.
Feng Yu Heng brought Xiang Rong and the maidservants into another carriage. En route back to the manor, Xiang Rong said: "Why do I keep feeling as though something is about to happen?"
Feng Yu Heng smiled and patted her arm, comforting her: "If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided. If something happens, we can just deal with it. Don't be afraid. "
Xiang Rong nodded and calmed down a little, but she was still worried, "Second sister should be a little more careful. Not to mention the Bu family, I keep feeling that eldest sister is a little off."
"Then let's just treat it as watching a good play. Let's see what sort of wonderful play she can put on." After Feng Yu Heng said this, she did not say anything else. If even Xiang Rong could see it, how could she not feel it. Feng Chen Yu had already felt that something was off when she pretended to be ill. Now that she had been provoked, she feared that the play she was looking forward to would begin very quickly.
The carriage slowly arrived at the Feng manor's entrance. The servants of the manor were already waiting outside to welcome them. Seeing the carriage stop, they swarmed over to the red sandalwood carriage. First, they helped the matriarch out then went to pick up Chen Yu.
Feng Yu Heng and Xiang Rong also got out of the carriage with the help of two maidservants. Just as their feet touched the ground, they heard a scream come from the side of the carriage ahead!
Xiang Rong was timid and trembled in fear. She then managed to react: "It's eldest sister's voice."
Feng Yu Heng secretly smiled, saying to herself: It's here!
Sure enough, following that scream, Chen Yu, who had not yet gotten out of the carriage, began to cry "Mother! Mother, don't stand in front of the carriage. Can you let Chen Yu get out? "
Xiang Rong retreated a couple steps in fear and was held back by Feng Yu Heng: "Don't be afraid."
But the matriarch closest to Chen Yu was given quite a fright. Suddenly quivering, she loudly said: "Cease your nonsense!" This shout was so loud that it shocked even herself. Rather than saying that it was scolding Chen Yu, it would be better to say that it was bolstering her own courage. Seeing a ghost in the middle of the day, what sort of situation was this?
But Chen Yu continued to shout. She would shout for her mother then shout for her grandfather, saying things like "Chen Yu also misses grandfather. Every year, Chen Yu will burn incense for grandfather in the ancestral hall. Grandfather, do not worry about the family anymore. Everything is fine at home. Everything is fine!"
"What sort of nonsense are you saying?" The matriarch was truly furious. Grandfather? Wasn't that her husband?! He had already died for so many years, so why was he brought up again? "Quickly help eldest young miss out!"
Under the matriarch's scolding, the maidservants braced themselves and pulled Chen Yu out of the carriage. Only then did they notice that Chen Yu's entire person was in a state of complete collapse!
Her clothes were a mess, and her hair was a mess. The white flower at her temple had long since been thrown away. Even one of her shoes had fallen off.
A maidservant quickly used a cloak to cover Chen Yu's foot, but Chen Yu became even more flustered and afraid: "Grandfather! Grandfather, don't blame Chen Yu. Chen Yu also missed you! Ah! Don't come over here! "
Following this shout, Chen Yu crazily pushed away the servants at her side and ran into the yard.
The matriarch stomped her foot: "Quickly chase after her and take a look! Call a doctor, quickly call a doctor! "
Xiang Rong timidly asked Feng Yu Heng: "Eldest sister, did you see something dirty?"
She shrugged and smiled, "If there is something dirty in the heart, then the eyes will naturally see it."
Just as she finished speaking, the matriarch walked over with a face full of worry, saying: "Heng Heng, what happened to your eldest sister?"
She replied frankly: "She was possessed." While saying this, she turned her gaze towards the direction Feng Chen Yu had run off in. Gradually, she turned her gaze towards the servant behind her, Yi Yue. That Yi Yue just happened to turn her head around to look at her. Their gazes met, causing Yi Yue to trip and tumble. "Hmph!" She laughed in anger, "Grandmother, I fear that a normal doctor will not be able to treat eldest sister's illness!"
The matriarch had been scared senseless by Chen Yu. How could she have heard the hidden meaning in Feng Yu Heng's words, as she quickly asked: "Then can you treat it?"
She shook her head: "I am just a normal doctor. Naturally, I am unable to treat it."
"Then what should be done? Then what should be done! "The matriarch anxiously wiped away tears.
Granny Zhao reminded her from the side: "Elder madam, it would be best to quickly send someone to the palace gates to wait for master! Have master quickly return to the manor and discuss how to treat eldest young miss. "
The matriarch repeatedly nodded and ordered the servants: "Quickly go to the palace gates to receive master. Just say that there is an urgent matter at home and have master return to the manor immediately after court."
The servants complied and left. The matriarch did not have time to worry about anything else, as she brought granny Zhao and chased after Chen Yu into the manor.
Feng Yu Heng pulled Xiang Rong's hand and also entered the manor, "Let's go. Let's also go take a look."
The group chased all the way to Chen Yu's courtyard. When they entered, Chen Yu's entire body was curled up in bed. Her head was covered with a brocade blanket, as she repeatedly trembled.
The matriarch stood at the side of the bed, not daring to approach. She repeatedly asked: "Chen Yu, what exactly happened to you?"
After a long time, Chen Yu's mood finally stabilized a little. She poked her head out from under the blanket. With a strange appearance, she looked all around, but she did not look at anyone. She only looked at places where there were no people.
The matriarch felt her entire body become cold. A room full of women made her feel that the gloomy atmosphere was too heavy. She quickly asked a servant: "Has the person that went to invite master returned?"
The servant was helpless: "Elder madam, I fear that they have not yet returned to the palace gates."
"Open all the doors and windows! Open all of them! "The matriarch's mood was irritable. This room made her feel panicked.
Chen Yu had to stay here and say with a trembling voice: "I … saw mother and grandfather."
