Granny Li's eyes widened. What was she saying?
Feng Yu Heng continued: "Father clearly said that we would be settled according to concubine mothers' rations, but who knew that the Feng manor's concubine mothers would be eating this kind of food. Their lives are much worse than those in Xi Ping village. Say, father sending us away, isn't it to let us live better lives? Father really is loyal and righteous! "
Yao shi and Feng Zirui held back their laughter, while granny Sun's face was filled with gratification. The current second young miss had truly changed. She no longer allowed the manor's people to bully her. Not only would she not be bullied, she had learned how to fight back. From the time they entered the manor until now, which one of the people that came to provoke them had gotten away with it?
Granny Li and Man Xi Bao Tang also collapsed. How should they respond to this? This second young miss completely did not follow the path they had prepared! Wasn't it said that Yao shi was weak and easy to bully, and that the second young miss' personality was cold and indifferent? But why did the second young miss not only fight, but also fight so fiercely and unrestrainedly?
There was also Yao shi. Was she weak and easy to bully? Although she didn't say anything and was polite to them, she would immediately look at her daughter when something happened. She was completely shutting the door on Second Young Mistress and letting her off!
Granny Li's hand was still being held by Feng Yu Heng, and her forehead began to sweat. She gritted her teeth and secretly gathered her strength. She was prepared to risk it all and pull her hand back.
As a result, she used too much strength, and it just so happened that Feng Yu Heng suddenly let go. Granny Li let out a cry and fell to the ground.
Man Xi and Bao Tang quickly went over to help her up, but they heard Feng Yu Heng say: "Quickly work. I see that the courtyard is not very spacious. Everyone, work hard. There is no need to go to the kitchen to eat tonight. The food will be left for you. Ah, the food the Feng manor gives concubine mothers and concubine's daughter and concubine's children are all so poor. Who knows how harsh the servants will be. "
When she spoke, her expression was serious and her face was filled with concern. It looked as if she was truly worried about granny Li and the others' food.
Mammy Li was completely speechless. She walked to the yard with the help of Man Xi and Baotang. She thought that she must find an opportunity to talk to First Madam. This Second Miss was completely different from her previous impression!
Seeing that everyone had left, Feng Zirui finally grinned. Even Madam Yao and Granny Sun laughed.
Yao shi smiled while shaking her head, "Mr. Heng, you really are …" She did not know what words she should use to describe her, so she stopped mid-sentence.
It was Sun momo who took over the conversation, "Second Young Miss is really too capable!" While saying this, she comforted Yao shi, "Madam, don't blame second young miss. You were not in the manor these past few years, so you did not know. The current Feng manor is no longer the Feng manor from three years ago. If Young Mistress is still as she was, "she said, pointing to the food on the table," we shall starve to death. "
Yao shi nodded, "I know. I'm not blaming Heng Zheng, but we need to think about how we should live our days. If there are these things every day, what will we eat? "
Feng Yu Heng held Yao shi's hand to give her strength, "Mother, don't worry. Just let them continue. We won't starve to death." She then asked Sun momo: "Granny, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
Seeing the other person nod in embarrassment, she pulled out a Snickers bar from her sleeve, "Eat it first. I bought it on the way here. We just ate. This is for granny."
Granny Sun looked at the things that she handed over, and tears began to flow.
She had watched Yao shi grow up, and she had personally raised Feng Yu Heng and Feng Zirui. Not long ago, she had thought that the three of them would never come back. Now, however, she was able to eat the pastries that Madam Heng had personally handed to her.
The old woman quickly turned around and wiped her face. She then took the food and brought it to her mouth. After eating it, she calmed down and said in surprise: "What is this? It's this good? "
Feng Zirui rushed to answer: "Jiejie's food is the best."
Feng Yu Heng didn't want to explain what it was, so she quickly changed the topic: "Sun momo, in a moment, go to the kitchen and see if you can get some raw ingredients. Also, bring some firewood. We'll make dinner ourselves."
Sun momo thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's fine."
Feng Yu Heng then said: "If you really can't get it, then it's fine to ask them for some scraps. As long as the scraps are clean, we can still make delicious food."
The cleaning of Willow Courtyard lasted until the evening. Granny Li and the two maidservants were tired and hungry. Their clothes were dirty, and the makeup on their faces was smudged. They had long lost the dignity of a first-class servant.
Sun momo brought the food that they hadn't touched at noon to the side room. Their faces were miserable, but they were so hungry that they had no choice but to eat.
On the other side, Feng Yu Heng used the leftover ingredients that granny Sun had brought from the kitchen to make her own food.
From time to time, she would bring out two eggs from her space and throw some medicinal herbs that could replenish blood into the porridge. Living in the mountain village for many years made the three of them a little anemic. However, they couldn't rush to nourish their body. She also had to pay attention to the things she took out so that no one would notice anything strange.
Dinner was delicious. Although there was no meat, it was still cooked by Feng Yu Heng. In addition, there was the little thing in the pharmacy space to cheat. Delicious food was a must.
Sun momo decided that in the future, she would go to the kitchen every day to ask for scraps. Of course, she couldn't always let the young miss cook. She still had to do it.
But Feng Yu Heng didn't think so. She said: "I'll still make dinner. I know some medical knowledge and know how to match the ingredients to help mother's body."
"Then why don't second miss tell this old servant how to match the ingredients?"
"No need to be so troublesome." Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "These years, I'm used to cooking in the mountain. Sun momo can help take care of mother and Zirui."
Since she said so, Sun momo couldn't argue anymore. However, she still had some thoughts about eating at the same table as her masters. "Tomorrow, this old servant will eat with Sun momo Li and the others. This way, people will pay attention to it. If it spreads to First Madam, it will be troublesome."
Feng Yu Heng didn't insist. She just told her: "Sun momo Li and those two maidservants are not good people. Sun momo, you have to be careful."
Sun momo cautiously nodded: "Young miss, rest assured. This old servant usually pays attention to their little movements. If I find anything, I will report it to second miss in a timely manner." Feng Yu Heng was relieved.
There were three main rooms in Willow Courtyard. The three masters each had one room. Because Zirui was young, Feng Yu Heng let Sun momo stay with him first.
One room was for Man Xi and Baotang to live together. The other room was arranged for Sun momo Li.
With the midday meal as a precedent, Feng Yu Heng began to make preparations for sleeping ahead of time. She deliberately let Sun momo Li take the bedding and emphasized that there would be no special treatment. The masters and servants would be treated the same. Whatever Sun momo Li and the others used, the three masters would use the same.
In this way, Sun momo Li had to take the best bedding in order to live comfortably.
Sun momo helped the three of them to make the bed. Man Xi and Baotang were very good. Without any instructions, they began to prepare water for the three rooms. Sun momo Li also boiled hot water for everyone to bathe.
The one taking care of Feng Yu Heng's bath was Man Xi. Previously, she had noticed that Man Xi's nails were painted with a very fine nail polish. However, this girl did not think that after entering Willow courtyard, she would do a whole day of manual labor. The nail polish on her nails had long since been removed. It was also because of this that Feng Yu Heng was able to see the small problem that was exposed by the nails.
There were dents and grooves on the surface of all ten fingernails, and the more serious ones had even formed cracks. The thumbnails on both hands had begun to thicken and were dark brown in color. There were very serious debris deposits, and the color of the other fingernails was relatively murky.
This was obviously onychomycosis.
However, people in ancient times didn't know what onychomycosis was. Especially the maidservants in this big mansion. They didn't dare to see a doctor when they had this disease. If it was spread out, they would be driven out of the mansion. The masters didn't care what rank the maidservant was. They also didn't care whether the disease was contagious or not. As long as it threatened their health or was an eyesore, they would definitely drive them away.
Man Xi poured the water into the wooden bucket. Seeing Feng Yu Heng standing on the side and not changing clothes, she felt strange and called out, "Second Miss?"
Feng Yu Heng stared at her hands. Un, when she was pouring the water, the water had soaked Man Xi's nails. This girl had even kindly reached into the bucket to test the temperature of the water.
Thus, her reason became even more "Man Xi, although I am not favored in the Feng manor and can even be considered disliked, in any case, everyone who sees me calls me second miss. If the Feng family's second miss suddenly had a strange disease and her nails and skin began to grow strange rashes, do you think the Feng family would directly throw me out or find a doctor to treat me? And investigate the cause of my illness? "
Once she said this, Man Xi subconsciously pulled her hands into her sleeves. The wooden bucket in her hands fell to the ground with a "peng" sound, splashing water all over the floor.
"Second, second miss, why do you say such a thing?"
Feng Yu Heng suddenly slapped the table, "Why do you say such a thing? I never thought that my father, who is such a righteous person, would support such a vicious Shen Clan. The dignified Feng manor's head madam actually sent a servant with rashes to my room to take care of me. Isn't this just trying to transfer the illness to me and kill me? "
The moment she said the words' onychomycosis', Man Xi would be a fool if she still didn't understand what was going on. This servant girl was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a plop. She didn't care what position this Second Young Miss had in the fu and started kowtowing.
"Second miss, spare me. Second miss, spare me!"
Feng Yu Heng pulled out a chair for herself and sat down. She did not speak for a long time until Man Xi's mood stabilized a bit. Only then did she say: "Although it is disrespectful for a concubine's daughter to criticize the di mother, it is not glorious for the di mother to do such a thing."
"This … this is not related to the head madam." Man Xi's legs began to tremble in fear. "It's this servant … the head madam did not know. I beg second miss not to tell the madam. I beg second miss to be merciful!" Man Xi began another round of kowtowing.
Feng Yu Heng was annoyed by the ancient people's habit of kneeling and kowtowing at the slightest provocation. Would they even let her speak? Shaking her head like this would cause her to become confused. Wouldn't speaking be pointless?
"If you keep kowtowing like this, I will go tell the head madam right now." She threatened, "Un, you also need to tell grandmother. This is not a laughing matter. If the illness passes, it would be terrible."
