"Oh!" The Li Palace's granny opened her eyes wide, "What sort of thing is this? Fourth young miss Feng is interested in His Ninth Highness? "She then looked at Feng Yu Heng and could not help but shake her head," That's not right! His Ninth Highness is a good match for county princess. Normally speaking, he should be fourth young miss Feng's brother-in-law. "
Fen Dai angrily gritted her teeth, "Eldest sister! Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking! Aren't you just jealous that his Highness the fifth prince has proposed marriage to me? If you insist on saying such things, then it would be best if you pray that your future husband is his Highness the seventh prince. Otherwise, regardless of which brother-in-law comes to propose marriage, I will tell him that the person in your heart is his Highness the seventh prince! "
Chen Yu was indeed jealous of the fifth prince's proposal, thus she did not think too much about it when she rebutted Fen Dai. Now that she had been rebutted in such a manner, she was truly too ashamed to show her face.
The granny was dazed from hearing this. She never thought that she would hear quite a few of the Feng manor's secrets on this trip!
Fortunately, Chen Yu was not stupid. Faced with Fen Dai's cold words, she was only stunned for a while before immediately recovering and saying: "During the banquets, I did take a few extra glances at his Highness the seventh prince, but what of it? His Highness the seventh prince is as refined as a deity. Who in the world would not fall in love with him? I am not the only girl that has looked at his Highness the seventh prince. Younger sister, there is no need to think too much. "
Her words were very reasonable. She was clearly telling everyone that everyone liked his Highness the seventh prince. She was just going with the flow.
Fen Dai thought quickly then said: "Eldest sister saying it like this, are you not afraid that the wind will bite your tongue? If you say it like this, there is nothing wrong with me taking a few extra glances at His Ninth Highness. "
"Hehe." Chen Yu immediately laughed, "His Ninth Highness's appearance has been ruined, and his legs have been crippled. I really do not know what fourth sister sees in him."
"I …"
The two of them argued with each other and actually forgot about Feng Yu Heng who was sitting on the side.
It would have been fine if they hadn't mentioned Xuan Tianming, but now that they did, especially when his face and legs were mentioned, the people who were originally sitting and watching the show immediately turned hostile. They shot daggers over and said coldly, "Big Sister and Fourth Sister are really good at fighting! If this hall is not big enough for you, grandmother, please send two servants to bring you to the yard to argue. That way, the Feng manor will not lose any face. "
As soon as Feng Yu Heng spoke, Old Madam Fu also became angry. "Why are you quarreling? One more word and I'll get someone to throw all of you out! "
With the matriarch becoming angry, Chen Yu and Fen Dai no longer dared to make a sound.
Especially Chen Yu, she knew that in her excitement, she had forgotten that she could not anger Feng Yu Heng. Of all the things she could say, she had to say the Ninth Prince. Was this not just causing trouble for him?
Yi Lin poked her a couple times from the side and gave her a look that said, "Admit defeat." Chen Yu could be considered to be flexible, as she quickly said to Feng Yu Heng: "It's all elder sister's fault. Second sister, don't take it to heart. Elder sister will apologize to you."
"Tsk!" Fen Dai fiercely rolled her eyes, "Eldest sister's face really does change quite quickly."
Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow and looked at Chen Yu. She did not respond to this topic, instead saying: "Now that father is not in the manor, fourth sister has met with someone to propose marriage. You are the eldest sister, so you should give an opinion."
Chen Yu faintly sighed, "I am currently nothing more than the daughter of a concubine. How could I have the right to participate in my younger sisters' marriage. It would be better if second sister helped grandmother make the decision."
"Eldest sister, what are you saying? Weren't those earrings given to fourth sister by you? The person that personally delivered this marriage, why are you retreating at a time like this? "
Chen Yu trembled and stared blankly at Feng Yu Heng. She recalled that at the banquet the previous day, a servant had suddenly come over and told her that she was one of his Highness the third prince's people. His Highness the third prince had told her that she absolutely had to give away the crystal earrings, otherwise there would be trouble.
At that time, she had even glanced at his Highness the third prince and saw him nod to her without leaving a trace. Thus, she did not think any further and passed on the so-called trouble to Fen Dai. However, she never thought that how could this be considered trouble. It was simply giving Fen Dai a heavenly grace.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu's expression became a little uglier. If Fen Dai obtained this marriage, who knows how ostentatious her days in the manor would be for the next few years. How could she endure having these younger sisters climb over her head again and again!
"If you say it like this, then his Highness the fifth prince is only interested in the earrings. He is not interested in fourth sister at all." Chen Yu glanced sideways at Fen Dai, "Younger sister, it would be best if you did not have too many fantasies."
"You are clearly jealous of me!" Fen Dai could see that Feng Chen Yu was jealous of her, but what was the deal with the earrings?
The matriarch seemed to have understood a little, "You mean to say that Chen Yu gave Fen Dai a pair of earrings, which caused his Highness the fifth prince to pay more attention to Fen Dai?"
Feng Yu Zhu nodded, "That is correct."
The Li Palace's granny quickly interjected: "Because of the object, feelings are born. This is fate."
Fen Dai loved hearing this, "Granny is correct." She then glanced at Chen Yu and could not help but cover her mouth and laugh, saying: "I really must thank eldest sister. Speaking of, if eldest sister did not give it to me and wore the entire set of white crystal head ornaments, perhaps his Highness the fifth prince would have taken a liking to elder sister after wearing it for a little longer. What a pity, what a pity. "
"No need for thanks." Chen Yu held back a belly full of anger, "There's nothing to pity. If younger sister likes it, when you get married in the future, elder sister will give the entire set to you."
The matriarch anxiously asked: "An entire set of white crystal head ornaments?" She originally thought that it was just a pair of earrings, but now that she heard that Chen Yu actually had an entire set of white crystal head ornaments, she was truly shocked.
Chen Yu was waiting for the matriarch to ask, so she quickly replied: "It was his Highness the eldest prince who sent someone to give it to Chen Yu." When she said this, she noticed that half of Feng Fen Dai's face had darkened. Feeling pleased with herself, she thought to herself that she had finally found some face.
The matriarch was a little dazed. What happened to her granddaughters? Why did they suddenly receive the favor of the princes? One suddenly received a marriage proposal, while the other received a gift from his Highness the eldest prince. She actually did not know about this?
The members of the Feng family fell silent for a while. Even Feng Yu Heng did not speak.
But the Li Palace's granny was anxious. Seeing that no one in the room spoke, she simply went forward and placed the engagement note on the matriarch's table "His Highness' engagement note is here. Would elder madam please give the fourth young miss' engagement note to this old servant. Allow this old servant to report back to his Highness."
There was truly nothing that the matriarch could do. Granny Zhao saw this and could not help but whisper into her ear: "It would be better to give the engagement note to her first. Either way, the fourth young miss is only eleven. When husband returns, it will not be too late to make a decision."
The matriarch thought for a while and felt that this was reasonable, thus she nodded and ordered a servant: "Go prepare the engagement note for the fourth young miss."
Once this was said, Fen Dai nearly leaped in joy, as she quickly saluted the matriarch and thanked her for her grace.
The granny also let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the happy Fen Dai, she bowed and said with a smile: "This old servant congratulates fourth young miss Feng … oh, no, congratulations to the future Prince Li's secondary princess."
Fen Dai's vanity immediately swelled to its peak. She only continued to smile and forgot to tell the granny to rise. Instead, it was Feng Chen Yu who stood up and personally helped her up, "Granny is someone that has taken care of his Highness Prince Li for a long time. As the younger generation, we cannot accept such a grand gesture. Quickly rise."
In the manor, Chen Yu did not put on any black blush. The granny looked at the beauty before her and began to ponder. His Highness the fifth prince had made a mistake this time. Why did he not want such a great beauty and insist on wanting an 11-year-old girl?
Finally sending her away, the matriarch sat in her chair for a long time without saying a single word. Only after An shi could no longer bear to wait and said: "If elder madam does not have any other orders, we will be going back first."
The matriarch waved her hand. She truly was not in the mood to speak with these people, so she simply had them disperse.
Feng Yu Heng was the first to stand up. Massaging her temples, she suppressed a headache and walked out.
Chen Yu saw this and quickly followed. Catching up to Feng Yu Heng, she quietly said: "Second sister, you absolutely must not get angry. Elder sister said something wrong earlier." She was truly worried about offending this ancestor.
Feng Yu Heng, however, waved her hand, "It's fine. Don't get angry. But eldest sister, if you can continue to treat people with this attitude, that would be pretty good. Come find me tomorrow. "Leaving these words, she did not stay any longer and quickly left Shu Ya courtyard.
Feng Chen Yu let out a long sigh of relief. She was a little expectant and a little nervous.
Tomorrow, so long as she passed tomorrow, she would be a completely new Feng Chen Yu. She would no longer need to be on edge. She would no longer need to curry favor with Feng Yu Heng. She would no longer need to fear anyone. She could hold her head high and stand in front of others. She could even erase all of her past.
Just thinking about it was satisfying!
"Take care of the banknotes for me. Tomorrow, we will go to Tong Sheng pavilion." Chen Yu could not hide the smile on her face as she ordered Yi Lin.
Yi Lin was a little more rational than her. Nodding, she said: "The granny that third master found is also waiting outside the manor. She can be brought in at any time. Apparently, she was released from the palace. A few years ago, she examined the bodies of the harem girls that entered the palace. Later on, because she developed a chronic illness, she was chased out of the palace. She has no relatives and will only wait for young miss to finish using her. She will definitely not leave anyone to talk about. "
"Very good." Chen Yu had always been satisfied with how her third uncle handled matters. Sometimes, she even felt that this uncle was a little more daring than her father, the prime minister. But she also understood that the reason the Chen family helped her was for her to ascend to a higher position in the future. That way, she would be able to give the Chen family's descendants a few generations of glory.
At this time, Fen Dai and Han shi's laughter came from behind her. The mother and daughter were truly overjoyed. Ignoring the fact that they were still standing in Shu Ya courtyard's boundary, they began to loudly speak: "The small courtyard that we are living in is truly too depressing. When father returns, I will definitely have him give me a bigger one."
Han shi chimed in from the side, "But of course! You are the future secondary princess of the Li Palace. If the Feng family mistreats you, his Highness Prince Li will not be able to explain himself. "
"Hah! I didn't expect that the beautiful girl in our family has already reached marriageable age, but I haven't seen any decent nobleman come to propose marriage, let alone a prince. " Fen Dai raised her voice and shouted at the back of Feng Chen Yu's head. This angered Chen Yu so much that she nearly coughed up blood.
Yet Han shi also said: "How could there not be? I heard that the Chen family's young master has already proposed marriage to the elder madam. Who knows if the elder madam has agreed. As the saying goes, it is better to tear down a temple than to ruin a marriage. If there is an opportunity at a later time, we must advise elder madam. The Chen family's young master and eldest young miss are childhood sweethearts. They are most suited for each other. It must not be delayed. "
"But of course." Fen Dai giggled, "It would be best if she marries the Chen family's young master. Otherwise, if her scandal is exposed by the princes, I fear that the Feng family will also be implicated."
Feng Chen Yu's face turned green with anger. Clenching her fists, she could not stop trembling. Yi Lin had to use all of her strength to suppress the urge to turn around and fight it out with Feng Fen Dai.
Raising her head once more, she saw that Feng Yu Heng, who had left first, had been stopped by a servant. Who knew what they were saying.
Feng Yu Heng also saw them. Naturally, she also heard what Fen Dai had said. She could not help but laugh and say: "Eldest sister, do you now feel that it is truly a pity for that set of head ornaments? It's not just a set of head ornaments. You have hurt his Highness the eldest prince's heart! If I were the eldest sister, I would leave a way out for myself. To be so trusting of others and hurt the person that has expressed their sincerity, I do not know what that person can promise you. "
