The word mother spoke of the pain that Yao shi had endured over the years.
Yao shi forcefully covered her mouth with her hand, but she still could not stop herself from sobbing. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan stood at her side. With tears in their eyes, they looked at Feng Yu Heng and silently said: "Thank you." Thank you second young miss for pleading with his Highness Prince Yu to spare their lives.
Xiang Rong quickly stepped forward and knelt at Feng Yu Heng's side. Facing Yao shi, she kowtowed and said: "Xiang Rong greets mother."
Yao shi was finally unable to endure and began to cry.
For a while, the people of the Feng manor were filled with emotion. Even Feng Jin Yuan recalled how well Yao shi had managed the Feng manor when the Yao family was flourishing.
Seeing the people of the manor sigh, Fen Dai blinked a few times and immediately reacted. She was about to copy Xiang Rong and kowtow to acknowledge her mother; however, she heard Feng Chen Yu strangely say: "Once you call her mother, this manor will no longer have anything to do with you two."
These words caused Fen Dai to stop in her tracks.
Feng Jin Yuan rejoiced a little. His second daughter did not bring that cat back. More or less, this allowed him to feel a little less apprehensive. He had personally seen that cat bite off the Bu family's young miss' finger. Raising that sort of beast at home would always cause people to worry. Seeing everyone cry for a while, he could not help but feel a little annoyed. He simply said something to break the unhappy atmosphere: "It was originally a good thing. What sort of appearance is it to be crying so much? It's already late. Go and rest for now! "
Feng Yu Heng, however, did not agree: "Heng Heng has just returned to the manor. Naturally, she must go and greet grandmother first."
Granny Zhao, who was standing in the crowd, heard this and immediately began to sob loudly "Second young miss! Elder madam really did not dote on you for nothing! Quickly go and see elder madam. She spends her days saying that second young miss did not die. Her eyes are about to go blind from crying. "
Her words were a little exaggerated, but they were not inaccurate. The old lady had indeed cried bitterly all day long because of Feng Yu Heng's death. She also felt that she was too useless because she couldn't get up. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her teeth were swollen, and her throat couldn't speak. Now, she could only look up at the ceiling and moan.
Earlier, she had heard that Feng Yu Heng did not die at all. Instead, she had been brought into the imperial palace and had received the position of county princess. There was no need to mention how happy the matriarch was. She struggled to get up, but in the end, her body was useless. After trying a few times, she could not move. She could only send granny Zhao to the front yard to take a look.
Feng Yu Heng had heard Ban Zou's words and knew that the matriarch had indeed put in a lot of effort for her. Although she could not say that she was moved, it was still better than everyone in this manor being heartless.
"Let's go!" Feng Yu Heng held onto Yao shi and walked in the direction of Shu Ya courtyard, "I can go take a look at grandmother's injuries. My absence from the manor has truly caused grandmother to suffer a great grievance."
The others did not follow, as they all remained in place. Only Feng Yu Heng, Yao shi, granny Zhao, Huang Quan and Wang Chuan left together. Feng Jin Yuan looked at the small figure in front of him and suddenly felt a strong feeling from the bottom of his heart.
Phoenix hairpin, Hou Yi bow, county princess, fief … of his daughters, who exactly was the aspect of the phoenix?
When Feng Yu Heng's group arrived at Shu Ya courtyard, a servant immediately rushed over to greet them. Upon seeing that Feng Yu Heng had truly returned, she immediately revealed a smile: "This servant kowtows to second young miss!" This servant also knew how to cause trouble. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng, she did not say a single word and directly kowtowed three times. Only then did she say: "Elder madam's hopes were not in vain. Second young miss has finally returned!"
Granny Zhao wiped away some tears, as she heard Feng Yu Heng ask the servant: "How is grandmother?"
The servant invited her inside while replying: "Originally, she was just crying. Later on, she heard that second young miss was still alive and wanted to get out of bed. Two servants were inside trying to persuade her."
Feng Yu Heng did not ask any further. Increasing her pace, she entered the room in a few steps. Upon hearing this, she heard the matriarch shout: "Go find a stretcher! Quickly go find a stretcher! My granddaughter has returned. How could I lie here. I should have gone to the manor's entrance to receive her! My pitiful second granddaughter! My pitiful Heng Heng! "
"Grandmother!" A warm feeling filled her heart, as she trotted forward. The two servants at the matriarch's side quickly moved aside. "Heng Heng Heng has returned."
She reached out and covered the matriarch's hand, feeling a bit more sincere.
The matriarch was stunned. She stared at Feng Yu Heng with wide eyes and did not make a sound for a long time. Granny Zhao was a bit worried and reached out to push her, quietly saying: "Elder madam, second young miss has returned."
"My Heng Heng!" With a whoa, the matriarch began to cry. Adding on her hoarse voice, her cries were heart-wrenching.
Yao shi could not bear to see this sort of scene. Behind Feng Yu Heng, she wiped away her tears. At the same time, she felt emotional about the cold and emotionless Feng manor. "Heng Heng." She wiped away her tears and said: "Your grandmother has indeed suffered quite a bit because of this. Even this waist injury was sprained because she wanted to vent your anger by kicking Han shi."
Feng Yu Heng had heard about what happened that day and repeatedly nodded, "Grandmother, do not worry. Heng Heng Heng can cure this waist. Now that Heng Heng has returned, she definitely will not allow grandmother to suffer any more pain. "
The grandmother and granddaughter spoke for a while, and the matriarch's mood finally stabilized. Looking at Yao shi again, she suddenly recalled the news she had heard and quickly asked: "His Majesty really gave an imperial decree to restore you to the position of head wife?"
Yao shi only nodded, but there was no joy on her face. To her, this matter was not something to be happy about. She no longer had any feelings for Feng Jin Yuan. Being a concubine and being able to hide for a lifetime was not bad. But when she thought about her children, she still had to grit her teeth and take the position of head wife.
The matriarch could see that Yao shi was not very happy, but she did not know how to console her. She could only sigh and say: "Think more about the children. Son of the first wife and daughter of the first wife are better than son of a concubine and daughter of a concubine."
Yao shi nodded, "Daughter-in-law understands." The way she addressed her had also changed. Only then did the matriarch smile.
Unfortunately, this smile did not last long, as she heard Feng Yu Heng say to granny Zhao: "Would granny please run to the front yard and invite father and everyone in the manor to Shu Ya courtyard. Just say that Heng Heng Heng still has an imperial decree that has not been announced."
"There's another imperial decree?" Everyone was confused, as the matriarch asked her: "What other decree is there? Is it good or bad? "
Feng Yu Heng smiled but did not speak.
There was nothing that granny Zhao could do. She could only do as she was told and quickly left.
Yao shi also cast an inquiring gaze towards her and saw Feng Yu Heng return with a comforting smile. This strangely allowed her to feel at ease.
The three masters in the room did not speak. The matriarch lay on her back in bed, her eyes darting around. She endlessly guessed at the contents of the imperial decree that Feng Yu Heng Heng had spoken of. Normally speaking, Yao shi was already the head wife, and she was also a county princess. What sort of big matter could possibly happen in the Feng family?
No matter how the matriarch thought, she could not understand, but since everyone in the manor had been called over, it must be related to the Feng family. She began to worry. She was happy that Feng Yu Heng had just returned, but she was also worried that this second granddaughter would bring some sort of bad news to the Feng family. In the current situation, the Feng family really could not endure any more trouble!
Not long later, everyone in the manor rushed over to Shu Ya courtyard under Feng Jin Yuan's lead. Feng Jin Yuan had a heavy expression, and the dark clouds on his face could practically crush people to death. Xiang Rong was called to his side. While walking, he quietly said: "Father will ask you one more time. Do you really not know what other imperial decree your second sister has?"
Xiang Rong was on the verge of crying. Along the way, Feng Jin Yuan had been asking her, but she truly had not heard of any other imperial decree!
Seeing that he truly could not get anything out of her, Feng Jin Yuan shook his head and sighed. Walking forward, he entered the matriarch's room. The people behind him quickly followed, and An shi comforted Xiang Rong: "It's fine. Your father is just asking. He won't blame you."
Xiang Rong nodded. Whether or not he would blame her, she did not really care. She was very clear on how cold-hearted this father was. She did not have any hopes of receiving fatherly love from Feng Jin Yuan.
Finally, everyone had entered the room. The matriarch turned her head to look at Feng Yu Heng. She really wanted to point at Feng Yu Heng and have him take a good look at whether or not this was his daughter. She really wanted to settle the debt with him for insisting that her second granddaughter was already dead. But the imperial decree that Feng Yu Heng had spoken of was like a boulder that weighed down on her heart. She was practically unable to breathe.
"You said that there is another imperial decree?" Feng Jin Yuan did not even call out to Heng Zheng, as he directly went for the main topic.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and stood up. Instead of replying, she asked: "Father, now that my mother has regained the position of head wife, are you happy or not happy?"
Feng Jin Yuan did not think that she would ask such a question. He was slightly startled then said: "Father is naturally happy." His words were half true and half false. If it was in terms of personal feelings, Yao shi was currently not to his liking. But if he thought about the Feng family's overall situation, it was clear that he had begun to express goodwill towards the Yao family. The Feng family regaining Yao shi as head wife was truly a good thing. Thus he added: "Your mother has suffered quite a bit over the years. Father will definitely compensate her well."
Yao shi's brow furrowed even tighter, as she subconsciously retreated half a step toward Feng Yu Heng. She looked away and did not even want to look at him.
Feng Yu Heng turned around and grabbed Yao shi, asking her: "There is no need to consider me and Zirui. Heng will only ask you, being the head wife of the Feng family and being his official wife, are you willing?"
Yao shi shook her head, "I don't want to."
Feng Jin Yuan heard this and felt extremely unhappy, angrily snorting: "Don't be unable to tell good from bad!"
Only then did Yao shi look at him, her face filled with anger: "When my Yao family was not doing well, you threw us three into the mountains. Now that my Yao family has improved, you are in a rush to express goodwill. Feng Jin Yuan, what sort of person are you? "
These words were the thoughts of all of his concubines, including Han shi.
They had all lived with Feng Jin Yuan for many years. They had all seen what sort of person Feng Jin Yuan was. In truth, what Yao shi had said was not wrong. This sort of man definitely would not take any risks for a woman, even if it was his official wife.
Faced with Yao shi's question, Feng Jin Yuan did not know how to respond. At that time, everything had been done by him. Now that she had brought up the matter, he indeed had nothing to say.
But he was unwilling to be stopped by Yao shi's question, thus he said: "Regaining the position of head wife was his Majesty's intention. If you have any complaints, you should go find his Majesty to explain!"
"No need." Feng Yu Heng spoke up, a faint smile hanging on her face. "This county princess has already returned to the manor. My mother will naturally be protected by me. Moreover, his Majesty has already issued a decree." While she spoke, she reached into her sleeve and pulled out an imperial decree. "The imperial decree is here. Left prime minister Feng Jin Yuan and everyone in the manor, receive the decree!"
