At this time, Jin Zhen stepped forward and took Chen Yu's place. Her small hands moved up and down the matriarch's shoulders, causing the matriarch's heart to feel a little better.
"In five days, our entire family will be going up the mountain to pay respects to the ancestors." Finally, after Yao shi, who was the last to enter, sat down, the matriarch began to speak about official matters, "The preparations that should be made have been more or less completed. It's just you children. You must show some filial piety to your grandfather." She said this while looking at Xiang Rong. Last night, when this third granddaughter stood with her concubine mother and Yao shi to oppose Feng Jin Yuan, the matriarch felt that they were very irksome. In her mind, Xiang Rong had always been timid; however, at some unknown time, these children were no longer the way she remembered them to be. "Xiang Rong, go to the servant's room and get some paper money. Personally fold 200 ingots for your grandfather."
Xiang Rong frowned upon hearing this. She had been outside looking for Feng Yu Heng for the entire morning. She did not even have time to eat lunch, as she was preparing to continue searching in a bit. But the matriarch had given her this task, which meant that she did not have any time to go out and look for Feng Yu Heng.
Xiang Rong felt very wronged, but she did not dare go against the matriarch's wishes. She could only unwillingly nod: "Granddaughter understands."
An shi helplessly sighed but did not say anything. After all, she was only Feng Jin Yuan's concubine. The daughter of a concubine did not have any standing in this family.
"There is still one more important matter." The matriarch spoke once more, saying: "In a moment, I will send someone to call Zi Hao back. On the day of paying respects to the ancestors, the entire family will be going up the mountain together. You will need to make proper preparations over the next few days. If there is nothing important, do not run out."
Once she said this, she was met with a fierce gaze from Yao shi.
The matriarch subconsciously turned her head away, not daring to meet Yao shi's gaze.
There was nothing she could do. Feng Jin Yuan clearly wanted to protect Chen Yu. Between these two granddaughters, she was actually a little biased towards Feng Yu Heng, but with her own son, it was a completely different matter.
In the end, the Feng family still needed to rely on Feng Jin Yuan to support it. Granddaughters were just temporary guests raised at home. There would come a day when they would be married off.
Feng Zi Hao returned to the ancestral residence in the evening. Upon returning, he rushed over to kowtow to the matriarch and Feng Jin Yuan.
At that time, Chen Yu was also present. She did not know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that Feng Zi Hao's gaze towards her was filled with obscenity.
She turned her head away in disgust; however, she heard Feng Zi Hao say: "It's been a long time since I last saw younger sister. I really missed you. Is younger sister well?"
Feng Chen Yu rolled her eyes at him and only said: "Hmph!"
The matriarch frowned: "Your brother is speaking to you, so why is he speaking with such an attitude?" Ever since the matter with Feng Yu Heng had come to light, the matriarch did not want to give Chen Yu any face.
There was nothing that Chen Yu could do. She could only bite the bullet and reply: "Everything is fine. Many thanks for brother's concern."
"I'm relieved that you're doing well. Now that my mother is gone, you're the closest person to me. You can't distance yourself from me just because your brother is guarding the mausoleum all day long!"
Chen Yu's heart was in turmoil. She really wanted to pick up a knife and stab Feng Zi Hao to death, but in front of Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch, she still had to maintain an obedient appearance.
Thus she endured her disgust and replied: "How could that be. Chen Yu also missed brother very much."
Feng Jin Yuan nodded: "Un, a family should be like this. You two are siblings, so who else could be closer to you than you? "
"Father is correct." Feng Zi Hao cracked a smile, "Chen Yu is the closest person to Zi Hao."
Hearing these words, Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch felt that the relationship between brother and sister had improved, and they felt very happy. But only Chen Yu understood the meaning behind Feng Zi Hao's words, and the resentment in her heart became even more intense.
The matriarch waved to Feng Zi Hao: "Come, come to grandmother's side. Let grandmother take a look … how did you become so thin?"
Feng Zi Hao also knew how to be pitiful. Pestering the matriarch, he began to complain about how bad his life was on the mountain and how the people of the ancestral home were keeping an eye on him. This caused the matriarch to feel distressed.
Feng Jin Yuan was also a little distressed. Although he said: "I should teach you a lesson; otherwise, you really would not know the difference between heaven and earth!" But he still made the decision to bring Feng Zi Hao back to the capital with him after the ancestral worship.
After dinner, Jin Zhen used the excuse of going for a walk to eat and brought Man Xi to wander around the ancestral home. Her original intention was to sneak over to Wang Chuan and Huang Quan's side to ask about the situation, but just as she passed through a small courtyard, she heard a strange yet familiar sound ahead.
She pulled Man Xi to a stop and hid behind an old tree. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw what seemed to be pieces of clothing appearing from behind a rock garden.
Man Xi pointed to a spot with a good line of sight and gestured for Jin Zhen to go over. Just as the two changed locations, they were able to clearly see the scene behind the rock garden. It was actually Feng Zi Hao hugging a servant from the ancestral home and whispering sweet nothings to each other. A pair of dishonest hands had even reached under the servant's collar.
Jin Zhen immediately recalled that she had done the same thing with Li Zhu and could not help but feel her cheeks heat up. She was very clear on Feng Zi Hao's character. Wherever he went, there would be no lack of women. Thinking that it was his lust, she did not think too much about it and pulled Man Xi to leave. But at this time, she suddenly heard Feng Zi Hao say: "This time, you did quite well. You used medicine and fire. What was needed was this sort of double guarantee."
The two of them were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and retracted the step they had just taken.
Following this, the servant's voice could be heard: "Eldest young master, didn't you say that second young miss was a fierce character. How could just using medicine be enough. What if the medicine did not kill her! How delightful would that be. Even if the medicine did not kill her, the fire could burn her to death. "
"But I heard that she still went missing." Feng Zi Hao exerted a bit of force, causing the servant to gasp for breath.
"Be gentler! You're hurting me. What missing? That sounds nice, but as I see it, she was burned to death in her room. She was burned to ashes, so naturally nothing could be found. "
Feng Zi Hao's lust was aroused, and his hands began to play a few more tricks. He also repeatedly praised: "Otherwise, why would I say that you are the smartest. I also feel that she was burned to death."
The servant giggled for a while then said obediently: "Making that sort of candle was troublesome, and there was so little medicine. It took me a lot of effort."
"The medicine that my little sister sent over on a fast horse must be extremely rare." He said this while sighing, "This Chen Yu really is capable of getting good things! Huh? You said that the medicine was extremely strong? "A light flashed through his eyes, as though he had thought of something.
"Extremely strong." On this point, the servant was very certain, "Not only was it strong, but the ingredients were very pure. When I was making the candle, I accidentally touched a bit and felt extremely uncomfortable. If it were not for eldest young master returning that day …"
"No wonder you were so greedy for pleasure that day." Feng Zi Hao's eyes narrowed into slits, as he began to remove the servant's clothes.
The servant clearly still did not understand some things, as she asked Feng Zi Hao: "I don't know why eldest young miss came here to take care of it? Is it not possible to do it in the capital? "
Feng Zi Hao snorted coldly: "What do you understand? Feng Yu Heng's courtyard is even more secure than a cage. Who could get in? If she is not brought out, how should we proceed? "
"Then is eldest young master satisfied with the things this servant has done?" While the servant spoke, her eyes filled with the light of spring, as she pressed herself tightly against Feng Zi Hao.
Feng Zi Hao nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied, too satisfied! If I can successfully return to the capital this time, I will definitely bring you back with me. When the time comes, I will raise you to the position of head concubine to thank you for the grace of helping me. "
The two no longer spoke, as they tangled together and began to do the deed.
Man Xi's face and ears turned red from watching, as she turned her head away, not wanting to continue watching.
Jin Zhen also felt that there was nothing else to listen to, as she pulled Man Xi back to the room.
After the two returned to the room, it took them a long time to recover. Man Xi fiercely stomped her foot: "Eldest young master was not obedient in the capital. Who knew that he would still be unable to control himself after returning to the ancestral home."
Jin Zhen snorted coldly: "Like mother, like son. Dogs can't stop themselves from eating shit. Man Xi, "She ordered:" Think of a way to find Wang Chuan. Tell her about what just happened. Remember to tell her that the medicine was given by the eldest young miss. Also remember the accomplice servant and tell Wang Chuan. "
Man Xi nodded and hurriedly left the room.
Roughly an hour later, Man Xi returned and told Jin Zhen: "It has already been told to Wang Chuan girl. Wang Chuan girl wants you to think of a way to lure master to eldest young miss' courtyard tonight. It would be best if you could stir up everyone in the manor."
Jin Zhen was puzzled, "Why?"
Man Xi shook her head, "I also don't know. Either way, just do as told."
That night, Wang Chuan used her qinggong and secretly snuck into the room of the maidservant that was on good terms with Feng Zi Hao.
She was certain that based on this girl's personality, it was impossible for her to not keep a bit of such a strong medicine for herself. Moreover, she had already tasted its sweetness, so there was even less reason for her to use it all as candles.
Sure enough, hard work paid off. In less than half a stick of incense's time, Wang Chuan found a small paper bag on top of a cabinet in the room. Placing it under her nose, she sniffed and immediately felt a wave of heat.
She was so scared that she no longer dared to smell the medicine; however, she knew that she had found the right thing, so she quickly retreated. However, she did not return to her own room. Instead, she rushed towards Chen Yu's room.
When she arrived, Chen Yu had not yet gone to sleep. The red candles in the room were still lit, and she sat next to the window. Who knew what she was thinking about.
Wang Chuan entered from the back window. Looking at her back, she sneered to herself.
Feng Chen Yu, do you not know that you must not have the heart to harm others?
Now, I will return the same method to you. Whether or not you can avoid this calamity will depend on your luck.
Wang Chuan opened the paper bag that contained the medicine and used her fingernail to pinch a small bit of powder. With a gentle flick of her finger, the powdery medicine was flicked directly onto the red candle that was burning in the room.
She flashed out and did not even look at the changes in the room. Only the light from the candles still burning told her that Feng Chen Yu had been hit.
Just as Wang Chuan was returning to Chen Yu's room after stealing the medicine, Feng Zi Hao received a slip of paper. On it were four words: "Looking for you." Signed: Chen Yu.
The slip of paper was written by Huang Quan. Huang Quan did not have the same ability as Feng Yu Heng to imitate Chen Yu's handwriting. But she knew that Feng Zi Hao was an idiot. Every word was the same to him. Especially when it came to Chen Yu's invitation, he would not even consider whether it was real or fake. He would definitely rush over to meet her.
Sure enough, on the way back, Wang Chuan saw the sneaky Feng Zi Hao heading towards Chen Yu's courtyard. The corners of her lips curled into a silent smile. Feng Chen Yu, tonight, you will not be able to escape.
Indeed, Feng Chen Yu would not be able to escape!
The small amount of powder that Wang Chuan had flicked at the candles immediately dissolved. It was colorless and odorless as it entered Feng Chen Yu's nose.
At this time, she had just closed the window and was preparing to blow out the candles and lie down on the bed to sleep. But for some strange reason, her body began to heat up.
That heat came from the inside out. It was like a fire burning, but it was also a bit difficult to endure.
Chen Yu began to desperately tear at her clothes. From the outside to the inside, layer after layer, she continued until there was nothing left on her upper body. She then went to pull at her pants.
Just as his pants were about to fall to his knees, the door suddenly opened.
