Chen Yu gave Feng Yu Heng two million in banknotes and did not remain at Tong Sheng pavilion for long. She did not even have Feng Yu Heng write a receipt. It was not because she trusted her too much. Instead, she heard a servant from Tong Sheng pavilion report to Feng Yu Heng: "Master is currently heading this way."
She did not know why Feng Jin Yuan had come here, but Chen Yu definitely did not want her father to know that she had asked the Chen family for money to take care of her own matters. Feng Jin Yuan still needed one million taels. If he found out about this money, he would definitely ask for it first.
"After giving second sister two million as a deposit, our matter can be considered settled, right?" Chen Yu quickly stood up and asked Feng Yu Heng.
"It's settled." Feng Yu Heng nodded then reminded her: "But if you do not give me the remaining three million when the time comes, not to mention that I will not treat your illness, I will not even return the two million."
Feng Chen Yu gritted her teeth and said: "Don't worry. I will not shortchange you for the money." Looking again at the path they had come from, she helplessly asked: "Do you have any other paths here?"
Feng Yu Heng gave Huang Quan a look, and Huang Quan took a couple steps forward and said: "Eldest young miss, please follow this servant. This servant will bring you out through the front door."
Not long after they left, Qing Shuang came in to report: "Master Feng is already waiting for you in the front hall. Madam is also present."
Feng Yu Heng did not wait any longer, as she brought Wang Chuan to the front yard.
When they arrived, Feng Jin Yuan was sitting in the guest's seat in the front hall. Holding a cup of tea, he complained to Yao shi: "Although you and I have already divorced, in any case, we have been husband and wife for many years. The elder madam is still ill, yet you are doing quite well. How many days has it been since you went to pay respects?"
Yao shi looked at Feng Jin Yuan and felt that this person was especially unreasonable. She had already said that the two had already divorced, but who had ever heard of two people going together for no reason? Who has ever heard of a divorced woman going to visit her former mother-in-law?
Seeing the look of disdain on Yao shi's face, Feng Jin Yuan could not help but feel angry: "What sort of attitude is this?"
Yao shi finally lost her temper "This is my attitude of not liking you. Prime Minister, I have nothing to do with you anymore. Today, when you came, I gave you a chair to sit on and a cup of tea to drink. If it weren't for the fact that you're here to look for Miss Heng, you wouldn't even be able to enter this door today! "
In the past, Yao shi would never speak so forcefully to others, but after staying at Feng Yu Heng's side for a long time, she had learned a bit. In addition to this, she had seen Feng Jin Yuan do more and more shameless things since returning to the capital. Yao shi increasingly felt that she had truly been blind at that time. Her father, old master Yao, was a shrewd person, but perhaps the most foolish thing he did was betroth his precious daughter to Feng Jin Yuan!
Yao shi's words caused Feng Jin Yuan to feel a little embarrassed. Being treated like this by a woman, he was actually able to sit here and endure. Why exactly was this?
Upon thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and heavily put down his cup of tea. Turning around, he walked out.
Yao shi did not stop him at all. She even said without any care: "I won't be seeing you out."
Feng Jin Yuan's lungs were on the verge of exploding. He just wanted to quickly leave Tong Sheng pavilion. He could not remain in this damn place for even a moment longer.
But before he could take two steps, he saw Feng Yu Heng leisurely walk in with a maidservant. Seeing that she was about to turn 13, this daughter had become even more beautiful, especially those eyes. When they blinked, they gave off a bit of spirit, causing people to want to look at them again and again.
He suddenly remembered his goal in coming here today, and his footsteps stopped.
Feng Yu Heng naturally heard the conversation between the two. At this time, seeing that Feng Jin Yuan had stopped leaving, she could not help but ask in confusion: "Wasn't father about to leave? Heng wanted to speak with mother, so I won't be seeing you out. Father, take care. "
Feng Jin Yuan was choked by her words and did not know whether to leave or stay. For a while, he stood in place, not knowing what to do.
Yao shi was an understanding person. Naturally, she could tell that this person had come to find Feng Yu Heng, thus she took the initiative to stand up and say: "I am also tired. Heng, take care of him as you see fit. So long as he does not stay for dinner, he can stay for a while if he wants. Mother will be going to rest."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and really wanted to give Yao shi a thumbs up. She playfully winked at Yao shi and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry. We already ate dinner. There isn't even any food left in the kitchen."
Yao shi nodded. Without even looking at Feng Jin Yuan, she left with her maidservant.
Only then did Feng Yu Heng take a couple steps into the hall and sit down in the main seat. She then gestured to Feng Jin Yuan to sit: "Father, don't just stand there. Sit."
Feng Jin Yuan was especially unaccustomed to this sort of interaction, especially when he saw Feng Yu Heng sit in the main seat, while he had to sit to the side. This made him feel even more uncomfortable.
But he was in no position to say anything or change anything. Not to mention that he had come to borrow money, but even if he had not come to borrow money, she was a county princess, and this was the county princess' manor. What right did he have to ask for a seat of honor?
Helplessly sighing to himself, he picked up the cup of tea on the table and continued to take a sip. In regards to the words that he was about to say, he felt that it was even harder to say them.
Feng Yu Heng did not know what this lord father had come to find her for, but from his demeanor, she could tell that he had a request for her. Otherwise, he would not be so troubled.
She did not ask, as she just sat there and waited. Feng Jin Yuan finished drinking his tea and called for a servant to refill it. After refilling a total of three cups, Feng Jin Yuan finally spoke: "Father … came to borrow money."
"What?" Feng Yu Heng immediately laughed. Feng Jin Yuan wanted to borrow money from her?
"What sort of reaction is this?" Feng Jin Yuan was a little unhappy. He had already pulled down his old face, yet why did this daughter not give him any face? "Father truly needs a sum of money. With no other choice, I came to find you. If you do not want to lend it, just say it."
Feng Yu Heng forcefully held back her laughter and asked Feng Jin Yuan: "How much does father want to borrow? What is the point of borrowing money? As a creditor, I should have the right to know, right? "
Creditor?
Feng Jin Yuan truly wanted to disappear from this place.
But he had already said it, so there was no reason to give up halfway. He looked at Feng Yu Heng and said: "Father naturally has a use for borrowing money. There is no need for you to know. As for the amount … one million taels. "
After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Feng Yu Heng's reaction. At this moment, Feng Jin Yuan was very afraid that Feng Yu Heng would say that she did not have the money. The word 'no money' truly could not hurt! Currently, this girl was the wealthiest person in the Feng family. If he could not even get one million taels from her, then the third prince would truly have a slip of the tongue.
Fortunately, Feng Yu Heng did not disappoint him. She also clearly told him: "Daughter does have the money, but father also knows that all of daughter's money was given by his Highness Prince Yu. In the future, these things will be the dowry that daughter has saved up for herself. Since father has spoken, daughter can not say that I will not borrow it, but since it is borrowing, when does father plan to return it? "
Feng Jin Yuan rejoiced. So long as she agreed to lend it, everything else could be discussed.
"Let's set a time limit of two years. Before you reach the age of fifteen, I will definitely return the money in full."
Feng Yu Heng was startled, "Father, your calculations are incorrect, right?"
"Hm?" Feng Jin Yuan was also startled, "How is it incorrect?"
"Take a look!" She counted on her fingers for Feng Jin Yuan, "Daughter currently has one million taels of silver. I will deposit this money in the bank, and there will be interest every month. Just this interest is enough for the servants of Tong Sheng pavilion to eat and drink. But right now, I want to take out this money and lend it to father. The borrowing period is until I become of marriageable age. I will lend you one million taels of silver, and you will return me one million taels of silver. Inside and outside, this is equivalent to me losing interest every month, right? No good, no good. If it is like this, daughter will not lend it. "
Feng Jin Yuan nearly coughed up blood from anger. He wanted to say, how could a landlord like you lack this bit of rent?
As a result, before he could say anything, he heard Feng Yu Heng faintly say: "A landlord's family does not have much surplus food. They also need to plan how to spend it!"
"Good." He forcefully suppressed his anger and asked Feng Yu Heng, "Then how much do you want?"
"Just follow the bank's ratio." Feng Yu Heng had a business-like appearance, "Also, with such a large sum of money, father cannot just take it as he wishes. Write up a receipt."
"That's fine." This was something that Feng Jin Yuan could accept. Speaking with this second daughter was like discussing business. One deal after another, it was done smoothly. "Have someone prepare brush and ink!"
Feng Yu Heng waved her hand to Wang Chuan. Wang Chuan nodded and left. When he returned, he brought brush and ink into the room.
Feng Jin Yuan stood up and walked over to the table. Just as he was about to pick up the brush and begin writing, he heard Feng Yu Heng say: "Wait a moment."
"What is it now?" Feng Jin Yuan was afraid of her speaking. Seeing that he was about to receive one million taels of silver, he hoped that nothing else would happen.
Feng Yu Heng stood up and walked forward. Arriving at Feng Jin Yuan's side, she furrowed her brow and pondered for a while before saying: "One million taels of silver is truly too much."
"Words that have been spoken are like water that has been spilled. Could it be that you, a dignified county princess, are going to go back on your word?" He was a little anxious. This duck that had reached his hands could not be allowed to escape.
Finally seeing Feng Yu Heng shake her head, he heard her say: "It's not to that extent. I said that I would lend it to father, so I will lend it to father. When has daughter ever gone back on her word? It's just that one million taels of silver is truly too much. To lend it out with just a receipt, I feel a little uneasy. "
Feng Jin Yuan was also helpless, "I am the dignified prime minister, and I am your father. Could it be that I would cheat my daughter of her money?"
"Father naturally would not." She smiled and said: "But Heng Zheng is just a young girl. She will always have some thoughts of a girl. To use these thoughts of hers to judge father's noble heart, I am truly ashamed. But everything has a what-if. What if father is unable to return the money when the time comes? What should Heng Zheng do? His Highness Prince Yu has already said that when daughter becomes of marriageable age, he will ask his Majesty to officiate our marriage. If this money cannot be returned, it will be very awkward. "
Feng Jin Yuan put down the brush and was out of options, "Then what do you think should be done?"
Feng Yu Heng pondered a little, "Normally speaking, when borrowing a large amount of money, something of equal value needs to be used as collateral. Like this, the person lending the money will feel at ease. Father, what do you think?"
"If you say so, then so be it." Feng Jin Yuan had been worn down by her until he no longer had any temper, but after thinking a little more, he did not seem to have anything worth one million taels of silver?
"Then what is father prepared to use as collateral?" Feng Yu Heng's eyes flashed, as the corners of her lips curled up into her signature evil smile.
Feng Jin Yuan saw this smile and felt his head hurt. He thought to himself that this girl had been with the Ninth Prince for a long time, and the two were becoming more and more alike. The way they spoke was similar, and even their expressions were exactly the same.
He took half a step back, avoiding the invisible pressure that Feng Yu Heng brought. He asked her: "What do you want?"
Feng Yu Heng did not speak. Instead, she walked out the door. Feng Jin Yuan was puzzled and quickly followed. The two stood in the yard and saw her look into the distance. Her gaze was directed in the direction of the Feng manor.
Feng Jin Yuan's heart tightened, as he heard his daughter say: "How about we use the Feng manor as collateral!"
