The matriarch fell on her butt and sat down in a chair, causing her lower back to ache.
"Who did you say you saw?"
Chen Yu trembled and said: "I saw mother and grandfather." While saying this, she looked around the room, her face filled with horror, "Grandfather said he missed Chen Yu and missed our entire family. Mother said she died an unjust death and said she was alone in the old home and was very lonely. "As Chen Yu spoke, tears began to flow," Grandfather's appearance was very weathered. Chen Yu really misses grandfather! Wu … "
Inside the room, Chen Yu cried bitterly. The matriarch, who had been frightened, also began to feel sad.
Grandfather Feng had passed away ten years ago. At that time, Chen Yu was already four years old, so she naturally had memories.
After sighing for a while, everyone in the family hurried over. Yao shi, An shi, Han shi and Jin Zhen all entered the room. Just as Han shi stepped into the room, her voice also rose "Oh, my eldest young miss! What happened to you now? "
Everyone felt a chill. Ever since Fen Dai left the manor, Han shi's personality had changed too much. She faintly resembled the Shen Clan from the past.
Today, Chen Yu did not argue with anyone, as she wholeheartedly acted like a demon. She was very happy to have someone like Han shi to cooperate with her "I saw grandfather! I saw mother! "
Han shi trembled and shut her mouth.
An shi furrowed her brow and exchanged a glance with Yao shi. Neither spoke.
Yao shi walked over to Feng Yu Heng, her eyes filled with questions. She held Yao shi's hand and whispered a few words into her ear. Yao shi's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Has eldest young miss been possessed?" Han shi could no longer hold it in and added. This was the same as what Feng Yu Heng had said earlier.
The matriarch also took this to heart, but she did not know what to do.
Chen Yu continued to speak nonsense. She would call for mother then call for grandfather. This caused everyone to feel a headache. The doctor that was called in did not say anything. He only said that it was a demonic fire, and he could not treat it.
The old lady waved her hand and dismissed the doctor. She held her aching waist and sighed.
Yao shi turned her back and looked out the open window. After a while, she sighed and muttered: "If possible, I really don't want to continue staying in this home."
Others couldn't hear it, but Feng Yu Heng heard it clearly. Her lips curled into a smile as her mood improved greatly. "Mother, there will be such a day."
"Big brother seems to be sick. I saw that big brother is sick." Chen Yu began speaking nonsense once more, as she became even more emotional, "Grandfather misses me. Mother also misses me. Grandfather, don't blame grandmother for not going to see you. There are truly too many things happening in the manor. Grandmother had no other choice!"
The old lady was flustered by her shouts, but she also began to think. Ever since she entered the capital, she had never returned to her hometown. Back then, when Old Master Feng brought the coffin back, it was done by the younger generation. The old man wouldn't blame her, right?
Chen Yu caused a ruckus for a full four hours, yet it happened to coincide with a busy day in court, so Feng Jin Yuan still had not returned. Only when Chen Yu became tired and fainted did he quickly enter the room.
At this time, the old lady finally made a decision after four hours of internal struggle: "The 28th of next month will be your father's birthday. Take care of finding a good day and return to Feng Tong county to pay respects to the ancestors."
The old lady's words made this important decision. Chen Yu, who was sleeping in bed, slightly moved her eyebrows, as a smile appeared on her face.
That night, Yi Yue sent out all of the servants in the yard and stayed alone with Chen Yu in the room.
Chen Yu personally placed an incense burner on the table and personally placed three sticks of incense. Kneeling, she kowtowed three times before saying: "Mother, Chen Yu will definitely avenge you. Elder brother will definitely return to the capital from Feng Tong county. Everything that we have lost, Chen Yu will take it all back. Mother, just wait and see. Feng Yu Heng must die! "
Yi Yue helped Chen Yu up from the ground and quietly said: "Eldest young master has already finished preparing. He is just waiting for us to return."
A fierce look appeared in Feng Chen Yu's eyes, as she stared fixedly at Yi Yue "If it was not for the sake of dealing with Feng Yu Heng, I would definitely beat you to death!"
Yi Yue dropped to her knees in fear, "Young miss, this servant knows her wrongs. At that time, eldest young master forced himself on this servant. Only then did this servant … "
"Enough." The more Chen Yu heard, the more irritated she became. If it was not for the Shen Clan dying and leaving her with no one to rely on, she really did not want to pay any more attention to her reckless elder brother. "Remember, you are my servant. No matter how much elder brother likes you, as long as I do not give the nod, he will not be able to take you."
"This servant knows. This servant vows to follow young miss to the death and will never betray you."
"Un." Chen Yu nodded and reached out to help Yi Yue up, "I am very clear on what sort of personality my elder brother has. I trust that you also understand. Even if I did not say anything, you should have heard a bit about what happened to the servants that he took in. That's why, Yi Yue, with me here, you can have good days. If you do not have me, your fate will definitely be the same as those servants. "
Yi Yue took a couple deep breaths and did her best to calm herself down. She knew that everything Chen Yu said was correct. Everyone in the manor knew what sort of person the Feng family's eldest young master was. Only by relying on the eldest young miss could she give Feng Zi Hao a warning and protect her own life.
Yi Yue deeply saluted to Chen Yu: "This servant thanks young miss for the great grace."
"If this matter is successful, I will make the decision to send you to eldest brother as a concubine." This was Chen Yu's promise to Yi Yue. Sending a servant to Feng Zi Hao's side and being able to scheme against Feng Yu Heng, this business deal was not a loss for her.
Yi Yue reached into her sleeve and pulled out a wooden box: "This was given to me by the Bu family's young miss."
Chen Yu did not even look before putting the wooden box into her sleeve. A sneer appeared on her face, "Feng Yu Heng, the result of your arrogance is to incur the wrath of the masses. It's fine if one Qing Le is ruined, but there is still a second Qing Le and a third Qing Le. Just wait and see. "
Half of the eighth month after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire Feng manor was preparing to return home to pay respects to the ancestors. Even Feng Jin Yuan asked for a leave of absence from court.
At the end of the month, Qing Yu brought ten servants to stand before Feng Yu Heng. These servants' appearances could not be considered outstanding, but their clothes were neat and tidy. Just looking at them made people feel comfortable.
Feng Yu Heng was very satisfied with Qing Yu's eye for choosing people, thus she chose two first-rate servants and four second-rate servants. The remaining were left at Tong Sheng pavilion to be taken care of by Qing Yu.
Currently, Qing Yu was the manager of Tong Sheng pavilion. She took care of everything. Although she was a little busy, she enjoyed it.
Feng Yu Heng gave the two first-rate servants the names Qing Lan and Qing Shuang. Qing Shuang remained at her side, while Qing Lan was sent to Yao shi's side to take over granny Sun's position.
Just as she finished taking care of things, she saw Huang Quan run in with a smile. Before she even arrived, she raised her voice and very happily said: "Young miss, look who has returned!"
As she said this, Feng Yu Heng saw the travel-worn Wang Chuan following behind her.
"This servant greets young miss." Wang Chuan had been away for a few days. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng, she was a little excited, especially after hearing Huang Quan talk about Feng Yu Heng's wonderful deeds. She was even more annoyed that she had not returned earlier. She really wanted to see the Graceful Three Arrows at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet!
"Quickly rise." Feng Yu Heng stood and took the initiative to support Wang Chuan, "You've had a hard journey."
"It wasn't hard." Wang Chuan revealed a smile. The continuous journey had made her face darker than before.
Qing Yu was also very excited to see Wang Chuan return. While greeting her, she introduced her to the new servants. The servants were all very smart. Seeing Wang Chuan and Feng Yu Heng being so friendly, they knew in their hearts that this girl was someone close to their master. Thus, they all bowed and obediently said: "Greetings, older sister Wang Chuan." Then they turned to Huang Quan and said: "Greetings, older sister Huang Quan."
The two smiled and accepted their greetings. Then they exchanged a few words. Qing Yu brought the new servants to familiarize themselves with Tong Sheng pavilion and the Feng manor. Wang Chuan stayed behind to report to Feng Yu Heng about the situation in Xiao Zhou.
She said: "Second young master is highly valued by Yun Lu Academy. Head teacher arranged a very grand ceremony for him to meet his master. Our second young master did not disappoint. On the day he became the disciple, he answered all of the head teacher's questions correctly. His answers were very brilliant."
Hearing this, Feng Yu Heng was very gratified. Zirui did not study much, but what little martial arts he had was taught by her and Xuan Tianming. Especially when it came to understanding the art of war. She believed that among the children his age, Zirui was definitely one of the best.
After talking about Zirui's situation, Wang Chuan then told Feng Yu Heng: "After this servant arrived in Xiao Zhou, I found a girl who is proficient in medicine and is honest. That girl's name is Le Ying Tian. She is seventeen years old this year and helps out at a local clinic. This servant used the excuse of getting medicine to get acquainted with her. Because she has a birthmark on her face, her personality is a bit inferior. She does not like interacting with people, but she is very proficient in medicine. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded: "With you in charge, I can rest assured."
Wang Chuan then said: "This servant told her about our situation. She also agreed to help train those little girls. The book that young miss gave was also given to her. After she saw it, she was shocked and praised the book's author." Wang Chuan remembered Le Ying Tian's expression when she saw the book and could not help but worship Feng Yu Heng even more.
"Keep an eye on things over there. If necessary, you will need to travel between Xiao Zhou and the capital. Since Zirui is there, you will have a reason to go."
Wang Chuan solemnly accepted the task, "This servant understands."
The Feng Family set off for Feng Tong County on the tenth day of the ninth month.
It would take nearly ten days to travel from the capital to Feng Tong County. If they traveled slowly or stopped along the way, it would take even longer.
The matriarch prepared a lot of things to bring. Just the offerings alone filled two carriages.
Before leaving, everyone gathered in Shu Ya courtyard to listen to the matriarch's instructions. Han shi twisted her handkerchief and took advantage of the matriarch's pause to say: "Since we are returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors, how can we not be present? Fourth young miss should also go."
The matriarch snorted and reprimanded: "How can a child who has made a mistake have the face to see the ancestors?"
"Eldest young miss has also made many mistakes."
"Can fourth young miss compare to eldest young miss?" The matriarch's eyes were already raised. In fact, she wanted to say: "You gave birth to a concubine, yet you dare to compare her to the daughter of the first wife?" But when she remembered that Feng Yu Heng was still sitting there, she was too embarrassed to say such things. "If you say any more, you don't need to go."
Han shi was scolded until she lost her temper. She twisted her handkerchief and no longer spoke.
The matriarch stood up, and Granny Zhao draped a cloak over her shoulders. Just as she was about to lead everyone out, a young maidservant hurriedly ran in. She was out of breath and didn't even have time to salute before she shouted, "Not good! The manor's gate has been blocked by a group of unruly people! "
