Compared to Han shi's enthusiasm, Fen Dai's attitude was not as good. She even pushed Han shi with a bit of disdain. She then arrogantly crossed the manor's gate and walked a few steps inside. Only when she got closer to the people that had come out to see her did she stop.
The young girl raised her chin and swept her eyes over everyone with an insufferably arrogant look. In the end, her gaze landed on Feng Chen Yu.
Hearing her snort coldly, she rolled her eyes and did not even take the initiative to greet her.
Chen Yu glared at Han shi. Intuition told her that Han shi must have told Fen Dai about what had happened in Feng Tong county.
Han shi, who had followed Fen Dai into the manor, immediately lost it when she saw Chen Yu's gaze, "Eldest young miss, why are you glaring at me for no reason?" Her daughter had returned to the manor, so she spoke with more confidence.
Feng Chen Yu held back a belly full of anger, "What sort of world is it now? I am the Feng family's daughter of the first wife. You are just a concubine, yet you dare speak to me like this? "
"How did I speak?" Han shi asked her back, "You are indeed the daughter of the first wife, but you cannot just glare at me and accuse me wrongly. I just brought fourth young miss into the manor and did not even have a chance to say anything, yet you are already throwing a tantrum at me. Who should I go to to reason with? "
Feng Chen Yu said with a gloomy expression: "What you did, you should be clear on! Don't think that I can't see it! "
"What did I do? What exactly did I do? "Han shi began shouting at the top of her lungs," Everyone, please be the judge. What exactly did I do? Eldest young miss, you have a noble status, so we have all respected you, but if you want to cause trouble for no reason, then let's make things clear. You say that I did something behind your back, so you should speak about it and let everyone hear it. If I truly did it, I will admit it, but if I did not do it, with you wrongly accusing me, I will also need to find master and elder madam to support me! "
Feng Chen Yu's legs trembled with anger. How could she say such things? That matter had now become the most taboo topic in the manor. She herself hoped that it would become a dream when she woke up. Now that she had to use this to reason with Han shi, could she do it?
She turned her head away and dryly swallowed her grievances.
At this time, Feng Fen Dai spoke up. Looking at Chen Yu, she suddenly began laughing then said: "Eldest sister, after not seeing you for a long time, it seems that your complexion is much better than before! Tsk tsk, I really don't know how she nourished her face. It's so greasy that I can pinch water out of it. "
In fact, these words were not out of line. If it was heard by other young ladies, they would only take it as a compliment. But when Feng Chen Yu heard it, it was different. No matter how she heard it, she felt that Fen Dai's words had a hidden meaning. She was laughing at her and poking at her heart.
"Han shi!" She fiercely clenched her teeth, "Father has already told everyone in the manor to keep their mouths shut. You're spreading such malicious rumors, it's clear that you have malicious intentions. I will definitely tell Father and have Father uphold justice for me!" Finished speaking, she turned and left.
However, she heard Han shi shout from behind her: "You can ask whoever you want to make the decision for you! You're the one who did it, yet you want to drag others down with you? The daughter of the first wife! My ass! "
Now that Han shi had gotten up, she truly was not any worse than the Shen Clan from back then. Seeing her like this, An shi tugged at Xiang Rong then turned and left. Even Jin Zhen did not want to remain.
Fen Dai rolled her eyes at everyone then turned to Han shi and said: "I have not been in the manor for so long, yet your face is still so lacking. In such a large Feng manor, why have I not seen you win over a single person? How can this be fine? In the future, if anything happens, there won't even be a single person to speak up for you. "
Han shi, however, had her own thoughts on this: "So what if I win over someone? Look at Yao shi's relationship with An shi, right? But something happened to Feng Yu Heng. Even if An shi spoke up for her, what use would it be? "
Fen Dai thought about it and agreed. The Feng family's relationships had always been weak. They could only rely on themselves for everything. They could not rely on anyone else.
"Right." Han shi stepped forward and quietly said to her: "The matter that I sent someone to tell you about, you absolutely must not spread it around. If this matter were to spread outside, it would not just be Chen Yu alone that would be ruined. Your father would also be ruined along with her. If he collapses, we will not be able to rely on anything. "
Fen Dai snorted coldly, "I am not that stupid. Feng Chen Yu, hmph. "She rolled her eyes and walked into the manor.
Han shi followed behind her for a while then felt that the direction she was going was not right. She quickly reminded her: "We need to go to Shu Ya courtyard. You just returned to the manor and need to go pay respects to the matriarch."
"I'm not going." Fen Dai refused very bluntly, "I woke up early today, tidied up and sat in the carriage. I'm tired to death. Have the servants prepare some water for me to bathe in. When I'm done bathing, I'll go to sleep first. When I wake up, we'll talk about it! "After saying this, she increased her pace.
Han shi felt that this child seemed to have become even more arrogant than before she left the manor. She felt a little uncomfortable. On one hand, she feared that her actions would anger the matriarch. On the other hand, she felt that the way the Feng family treated Fen Dai, Fen Dai's attitude should be the way it should be.
In this sort of conflict, mother and daughter returned to their own courtyard. Han shi ordered the servants to take care of Fen Dai's bath and rest. At the same time, she sent someone to Shu Ya courtyard to inquire about the matriarch's movements. Fortunately, the servants that returned told her that the matriarch was still sleeping. Only then did she relax.
Fen Dai slept until it was time for dinner. After waking up, she put on some clothes and was dragged to Shu Ya courtyard by Han shi.
When they arrived, Chen Yu and Xiang Rong were already sitting next to the matriarch's bed. There were servants preparing some new Winter clothes for them.
Upon entering the room, Fen Dai smelled a thick scent of medicine. The matriarch had been drinking medicinal soup for a long time, so the smell of medicine in the room was definitely heavy. In addition to the medicinal paste that Yao shi had sent the previous day, the smell of the medicinal paste mixed with the smell of the medicinal soup, causing the smell to become even stronger.
"What sort of smell is this?" Fen Dai waved her hand in front of her nose in disgust, "It really is disgusting."
Han shi used her elbow to nudge her, "The matriarch's waist is acting up."
"Even so, there's no need to eat the entire room until it's like a pharmacy!" Fen Dai continued to complain until she arrived at the matriarch's bedside. Only then did a smile appear on her face. Bowing, she said: "Fen Dai pays respects to grandmother. Has grandmother been well recently?"
The matriarch turned her head and frowned while looking at her: "Are you blind? If I was well, would I still need to lie in bed? "
Fen Dai's first words left her without any face. She could not help but become angry, "Fen Dai was just making small talk. Is there a need for grandmother to be like this?"
"What did you say?" The matriarch did not dare believe her own ears, "Say it again?"
Fen Dai wanted to speak, but she was fiercely pinched by Han shi. She then rushed to say: "Fen Dai's meaning is that she really misses elder madam!"
"I'm not deaf!" The matriarch angrily shouted: "There's no need for you two to put on an act. My back hurts, but my ears don't!"
With her shouting like this, her mood also became agitated. Panting heavily, she wanted to stand up. Granny Zhao quickly went forward and held her back, repeatedly saying: "Elder madam, you absolutely must not get angry. Your back has just recovered. You must not sprain it again!"
Xiang Rong also said: "Grandmother, recovering from your injuries is the most important thing. Fourth sister has just returned. In the future, there will be plenty of time to talk!" While saying this, she gave Han shi a look. Her meaning was for her to quickly take her away.
Han shi, however, completely ignored her gesture. She actually looked at the clothes that the servants were holding: "Oh! These are the clothes that were newly bought? Tsk tsk, they look pretty good, but ready-made clothes can't compare to homemade ones. If you look carefully at the material, it's not too exquisite. "
Fen Dai also ignored the matriarch and went forward to look through the clothes on her own.
The matriarch lay in bed and panted heavily, repeatedly shouting: "Chase them out! Chase them all out! "
Granny Zhao turned around and said to Han shi: "Concubine mother Han, you should bring fourth young miss back first. Elder madam is also tired and needs to rest."
Chen Yu, who had not spoken the entire time, stood up at her side. Glancing at the clothes, she then ordered her maidservant, Yi Lin: "I want all of these clothes. Take them and come with me."
Yi Lin nodded and was about to go forward to pick up the clothes, but she was stopped by Fen Dai: "Eldest sister, we all have a share in the banquet. There are also three sets of clothes. On what basis can you take them all?"
Feng Chen Yu coldly snorted, "On the basis that I am the Feng family's daughter of the first wife!"
"Oh!" Fen Dai looked at her mockingly, "You really have the nerve to flatter yourself. Grandmother! " She did not care whether or not she had just argued with the matriarch, as she turned and asked the matriarch: "Could it be that you want granddaughter to wear the old clothes from the residence into the palace? Fen Dai is nothing more than the daughter of a concubine, so I do not mind this. But when the time comes to steal the Feng family's face, grandmother must remember to settle this debt with eldest sister. Do not blame it on me. "
The matriarch closed her eyes. She did not even want to look at the children. Although she hated Fen Dai, compared to the things that Chen Yu had done, she was a little more disgusted with Chen Yu.
Thus she said: "Each person will get one set of clothes. Nobody is allowed to take more."
"Many thanks grandmother." Fen Dai happily replied. She then picked up a light green set of clothes, "No matter how I look at it, it looks very plain, but seeing as someone just died in the manor, I will wear it! After all, I do not want to be like eldest sister last time and wear red at madam's funeral. "After saying this, she pulled Han shi and walked out.
Chen Yu's face turned white from anger, but she hated the matriarch even more. This old woman who would not die was clearly trying to trip her up, yet she could not do anything to the matriarch. Thus she could only hope that Feng Jin Yuan would be able to make good arrangements for her future. After all, in a few months, she would be turning 15 and coming of age. It would also be time for her to formally discuss marriage. When there came a day when she could hold her head high, all of the people that had hurt her would die horrible deaths!
Fiercely pulling off a set of clothes, Chen Yu did not have time to say goodbye to the matriarch. Bringing Yi Lin along, she left the room.
For a while, the only young miss left in the room was Xiang Rong.
Xiang Rong never thought that Fen Dai, who had lived in the residence for a period of time, would not only not repent, but her actions would become even more unreasonable. There was also Feng Chen Yu. After that incident, she could no longer put on a Bodhisattva face. This family was becoming more and more annoying to her.
"Grandmother." She gently stepped forward and bowed, quietly saying: "Recuperating is most important. Those unpleasant words … just treat it as if you never heard them."
The matriarch let out a long sigh, as a tear appeared in the corner of her eye. Looking at Xiang Rong, she felt that she could see some traces of Feng Yu Heng on this granddaughter's face.
"In the past, when your second sister was still alive, she treated you the best. Now, you are the only one left in the manor that understands … Don't worry, grandmother will take care of you for the sake of Heng Heng. This time, there really was not enough time to make clothes. When the banquet is over, grandmother will open the storeroom and bring out the best material for you."
Xiang Rong did not care about this, but hearing the matriarch mention Feng Yu Heng, her heart began to panic. Thus she nodded and said: "Thank you, grandmother."
Just as she was about to bid farewell and return, she saw a servant come in from the outside. Holding a tray in her hands, there was something on the tray. It was wrapped in paper and was very neat.
The servant arrived and said to the matriarch and Xiang Rong: "Someone from the Chun Palace sent a set of clothes. They said it was for the third young miss."
