Clatter.
The matriarch's cane fell to the ground.
Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief and said: "I said it long ago. Second sister is not that sort of person."
"Is … is this the Emperor's imperial will?" The matriarch was dazed, as she stared straight at Lady Zhou.
Fen Dai was also dazed and subconsciously said: "How, how could that be?"
"Hm?" Lady Zhou looked at her coldly, "What does fourth young miss mean by these words? Could it be that you feel that they are truly as you described them and that they are good? Elder madam Feng, what sort of hearts do the young misses of your manor have? "
The matriarch did not know what sort of hearts Fen Dai 'an had. Even if she knew a little, she did not dare tell Lady Zhou, thus she could only smile and apologize: "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Would madam please forgive me!" She said this while glaring at Fen Dai: "Why have you not apologized to Lady Zhou!"
Fen Dai had already realized that she had been played for a fool, but she did not know who could not be bothered to play for her? Feng Yu Heng completely treated her as a child that did not understand anything. It was she who did not even have the most basic ability to analyze things, yet she was extremely jealous and liked to cause trouble. This was why she had made such a mistake.
She kowtowed to Lady Zhou: "Fen Dai was wrong. It was Fen Dai that misunderstood second sister." She still felt unreconciled, but her attention shifted to Xuan Tianming's leg being treated in Tong Sheng pavilion. She could not help but ask: "I wonder if His Ninth Highness' leg has been treated?"
When she said this, she raised her head and looked at Lady Zhou with eyes filled with expectation. Her eyes were filled with undisguised concern, which caused Lady Zhou's expression to darken.
"Shut your mouth!" The matriarch wanted to strangle Fen Dai to death, but Lady Zhou was present, so she could not go too far. For a while, she was so angry that she did not know what she should do.
Granny Zhao reminded her, "Old Madam, His Ninth Highness's leg injury has been treated for some time now. Why don't we follow Lady Zhou over to take a look?"
"Right, right, right." The matriarch repeatedly agreed, "Lady Zhou, why don't we go to Tong Sheng pavilion together to take a look? I really didn't know that His Ninth Highness was always at Tong Sheng pavilion. Otherwise, I would have gone to pay my respects a few days ago. "
Lady Zhou gave a heavy sigh, "Fine, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would make a big fuss. The wound needs to rest, and wang fei needs a quiet environment to practice medicine. The Emperor only ordered His Highness Chun Wang to accompany her. Who knew that your Feng family still wouldn't forgive. You really wasted the emperor's painstaking efforts. " She said this while looking at Fen Dai, then said: "Elder madam Feng, the manor's fourth young miss' dirty guesses might have tainted the two princes and princess' reputation. This old one will arrange for someone to wash away the rumors. I also hope that the Feng family can calm the fourth young miss' emotions and not allow her to cause any more trouble."
The matriarch quickly complied: "Definitely, definitely." She then ordered a servant, "Quickly, move to Tong Sheng pavilion." Thinking a little more, she added: "Go through the main entrance. Just say that Lady Zhou of the Imperial Palace Yu has arrived!"
Lady Zhou did not say anything else. Standing up, she left the hall. The matriarch wiped away some sweat while sitting back down in her chair with the help of a servant. She was then carried out.
Fen Dai and Chen Yu also followed closely behind. Fen Dai had an expectant look on her face. Although she had failed to harm Feng Yu Heng, she had actually profited from a disaster and was able to meet Xuan Tianming. To her, this could be considered a good thing.
The group arrived at the county princess' manor. Granny Zhao personally went forward to knock on the door. When the gatekeeper opened the door, before he could say anything to stop them, granny Zhao quickly said: "Quickly go inform second young miss. Just say that Lady Zhou of the Imperial Palace Yu has arrived."
Upon hearing that someone from the Imperial Palace Yu had arrived, the gatekeeper of Tong Sheng pavilion quickly trotted inside to pass on the message. They had already received orders. Although they were to close the doors and decline visitors, there were three types of people that were not to be stopped. The first were people from the Imperial Palace Yu, the second were people from the Chun Palace, and the third were people from the imperial palace. If someone from the Imperial Palace Yu came, they definitely had to report it.
Not long later, Wang Chuan, Huang Quan, Qing Yu and Qing Shuang all appeared at the entrance of the manor. Opening the gates, they saluted Lady Zhou: "This servant pays respects to madam."
Old Mistress Zhou looked at the four maidservants and nodded. "You may all rise." She then took a couple steps forward, "The seven days have already passed. Even if the Feng family did not forcefully drag me to the Imperial Palace Yu, this old one would still need to go to the county princess' manor."
Wang Chuan glanced at Feng Fen Dai then said: "Madam is correct." As he said this, he led everyone into the county princess' manor.
Fen Dai walked while looking all around. This was the first time she had entered Tong Sheng pavilion from the front entrance. To her, everything was new. Especially when she was about to meet Xuan Tianming, just thinking about it caused her heart to beat faster.
The matriarch saw that the servants of Tong Sheng pavilion all had calm expressions, and her heart finally calmed down. But when she thought about what Fen Dai had done, she could not help but furrow her brow and say to granny Zhao: "It reminds me that when Jin Yuan returns, I will need to discuss it with him. That child, Fen Dai, can no longer remain in the manor."
Granny Zhao only complied and did not say anything else; however, she knew that the younger generation of the Feng manor was lacking. She feared that the master would not be willing to send her away.
When everyone arrived at Feng Yu Heng's small courtyard, they happened to see the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, sitting in front of a stone table. At his side stood two eunuchs, and Yao shi had personally brewed tea and brought it over.
Lady Zhou quickly stepped forward and saluted to Xuan Tianhua: "This old servant greets his Highness Prince Chun."
Xuan Tianhua turned around with a kind smile on his face, "Lady Zhou is excused."
Yao shi also stepped forward to salute and pay her respects. Lady Zhou was extremely polite to her, personally raising her hand to help her up: "Madam, there is no need to be so courteous. You and I are both first-rank noble ladies. This old one is unable to accept your courtesy."
"Lady Zhou is too courteous. In the past, father often mentioned Lady Zhou in the capital. Qian Rou is of the younger generation, so you are worthy of this courtesy." Yao shi did not try to stop her and still performed this courtesy. This caused Lady Zhou to feel extremely moved.
"This old one has not seen imperial physician Yao Xian for many years." Mentioning Yao Xian, Lady Zhou also felt a bit emotional.
Xuan Tianhua timely interrupted this topic and said: "Lady Zhou came at the right time. Dimei is treating Ming's leg and has set a time of seven days. Today is the day they will come out of seclusion. How about we sit down and wait together. Thinking about it, they should be coming out soon."
Lady Zhou nodded, "Alright." Following this, she sat down across from Xuan Tianhua with Yao shi's support.
The Feng matriarch was still sitting on the soft chair, and no one paid any attention to her. Yao shi did not bow and did not say anything. She only surrounded Lady Zhou, leaving her to the side. It was very awkward.
She was angry, but thinking about it, Yao shi no longer had any relationship with the Feng family. She was also a first-rank noble lady. Even Lady Zhou said that she could not accept her courtesy. What right did she have for her to take the initiative to greet her?
Thinking of this, she quickly opened her mouth and said without regard for outsiders: "Let's also sit down and wait."
Only then did the person carrying the chair put it down. A servant from Tong Sheng pavilion handed a cup of tea to the matriarch. After that, no one paid any attention to her.
Chen Yu stood at the matriarch's side. Thinking about how she would be coming over soon to ask Feng Yu Heng to treat her illness, she could only hope that when the time came, she would not alarm anyone.
Thinking of this, she could not help but glance at Feng Fen Dai. With this lesson, she had to remember to send someone to keep a close eye on her. She absolutely could not allow her to cause any more trouble.
The people in the yard were either sitting or standing, as they all patiently waited. The door to Feng Yu Heng's medicine storage room was tightly shut. There were two guards from the Imperial Palace Yu guarding the door. Feng Fen Dai walked over step by step, always wanting to look inside, but every time she got close, she would be stopped by two swords.
She was so scared that she did not dare go forward. She could only obediently return to the matriarch's side and stand there. The matriarch, however, had a cold expression and would occasionally glare at her. This glare caused Fen Dai to feel apprehensive.
Roughly an hour later, the door to the medicine storage room finally opened. The guards outside stood on either side of the door, allowing a man and a woman to come out. One was pushing a wheelchair, while the other was sitting in a wheelchair. The person sitting in the wheelchair had a golden mask on their face, while the person pushing the wheelchair had a heavy expression. The atmosphere immediately became oppressive with the appearance of the two.
Xuan Tianhua was the first to stand up and walk forward; however, he did not ask anything.
Feng Yu Heng pushed Xuan Tianming over to Lady Zhou. Looking at her for a long time, she faintly said: "Xuan Heng is incompetent and is unable to treat his Highness."
Lady Zhou was startled, as a look of disbelief appeared on her face. She then blinked and understood, but when she spoke again, she was filled with regret and helplessness: "How could it be like this?"
Feng Yu Heng's expression became even heavier. Lowering her head, she said: "Heng Heng will naturally go to the palace tomorrow to ask for forgiveness from father Emperor."
Everyone in the Feng manor was in an uproar. Feng Chen Yu subconsciously muttered: "Isn't she a divine doctor? How could she not be able to treat him? "
Xuan Tianhua looked at Xuan Tianming. After a long time, he finally said: "It's fine. There will be more opportunities in the future."
The Feng matriarch looked at Lady Zhou repeatedly shaking her head. Suddenly, she felt a chill in her heart. She did not know why, but she had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
At this time, Xuan Tianming, who had been sitting in the wheelchair without speaking, suddenly spoke. His tone was gloomy and frightening "What sort of expression is that? Bad luck. " As he spoke, he grabbed Feng Yu Heng's hand, "Don't take it to heart. I can still protect you while sitting in a wheelchair."
Feng Fen Dai was finally unable to endure and loudly said: "His Ninth Highness, can it be that your legs can't be treated? It's fine. Fen Dai will find a famous doctor for you. Feng Yu Heng is just a quack. You can't listen to her! "
Upon seeing Feng Fen Dai, Xuan Tianming habitually felt annoyed, "Lady Zhou, invite a granny from the palace tomorrow to properly teach the Feng family's fourth young miss the rules."
"This old servant will remember." Lady Zhou nodded. Glancing at Fen Dai, her expression became even more disdainful.
"I will be going back first." Ignoring the people of the Feng family, Xuan Tianming continued to hold Feng Yu Heng's hand. Using the same gentle tone as before, he said to her: "Don't take it to heart. If you want to go into the palace, just call me. I will go with you to see father Emperor. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I am here. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Good."
Only then did Xuan Tianming let go of her hand and said to Xuan Tianhua: "Seventh Brother, let's go."
Xuan Tianhua took the initiative to push his wheelchair. Bringing along Lady Zhou, he left Tong Sheng pavilion without saying another word.
Chen Yu really wanted to chase after Xuan Tianhua and ask him how his leg was, but with Fen Dai as an example, how could she dare do anything wrong.
As for Feng Fen Dai, seeing Xuan Tian Ming leave like this, she was very unwilling to give up and chased after him; however, she was firmly held down by the two servants that the matriarch had instructed.
Before the matriarch could teach her a lesson, Feng Yu Heng spoke up once more. She glanced at the uninvited guests in the Feng manor and faintly asked "Why have you come?"
