The matriarch trembled and nearly believed that the Shen Clan had been resurrected.
Immediately following this, she saw a person rush in from outside the door. Accompanied by a thunderous cry, she rushed towards Fen Dai.
Behind her, a few maidservants chased after her, shouting: "Concubine mother, slow down! Be careful of your belly! "
Only then did she notice that it was Han shi! But she did not think that Han shi, who had originally wanted to rush towards Fen Dai, would suddenly change directions midway and go straight for Chen Yu. Her two hands curled into claws, and her sharp nails scratched at Chen Yu's face.
The matriarch was frightened. Chen Yu's face had always been the most important thing to the Feng family. Although she sometimes felt that her granddaughter was too beautiful and feared that she would become a disaster, Feng Jin Yuan valued Chen Yu. She could not allow anything to happen to Chen Yu while Feng Jin Yuan was not in the capital.
Thus she anxiously said: "Quickly stop her! She absolutely must not be allowed to hurt eldest young miss! "
The maidservants, along with granny Zhao, went to stop Han shi and forcefully dragged her down. Seeing that her actions had failed, Han shi immediately gave up and turned to look at Fen Dai. But upon seeing Fen Dai's bleeding face, she was so frightened that she could not breathe and nearly fainted.
"Quickly help her sit down!" The matriarch was so anxious that she wanted to jump out of bed, "Help her breathe and pat her back. Ah! You are pregnant, so how can you be so impulsive? If you don't think for yourself, do you not think for the Feng family's child in your belly? "
Because Han shi was pregnant, she had been very well off recently. She no longer had much respect for the matriarch. Just as she regained her breath, she immediately shouted: "Fourth young miss is also the Feng family's child. How can elder madam bear to see her suffer such grievances? How can you not know how to feel sorry for her? "
"How could I not feel sorry for her?" The matriarch was so angry that she wanted to hit Han shi with a pillow, but thinking of her belly, she could only let it go. "If it were not for you suddenly barging in and shouting, I would have called for a doctor!"
"You still blame me for shouting?" Han shi pointed at Fen Dai and said: "Fourth young miss' face has already been injured to such a degree. Why do you not arrest the culprit?"
At this time, Yi Lin and Xing 'er were standing in front of Chen Yu to prevent Han shi from suddenly charging forward.
Chen Yu anxiously stomped her feet behind the two servants. Seeing that she had a chance to interject, she quickly said: "Concubine mother Han has misunderstood. I did not want to harm fourth sister! It was Fourth Younger Sister who accidentally broke a red porcelain vase in my room. She accidentally stepped on the broken pieces and fell down. That's why she hurt her face! "
Hearing her mention the vase, Fen Dai immediately said: "I did accidentally break the vase, but this is also the reason why you want to kill me!" She looked at the matriarch and anxiously said: "Grandmother, you don't know this, but eldest sister's vase has something fishy! She hid a strange cloth bag inside. When I saw it, I wanted to pick it up, but Da Jiejie came forward and pushed me down. Then her maidservant took the cloth bag and ran away. My face was injured, so I could only let the maidservant chase after her. "
The old lady was confused. "Didn't you just say that your face was cut by a knife?"
"I …" Fen Dai nearly bit her tongue. How did she end up speaking so quickly? "Granddaughter was scared senseless. It was not a knife. It was a broken porcelain vase."
"What exactly was it?" The matriarch's face immediately sank, "You are speaking incoherently, and you even brought up eldest sister wanting to kill you. As I see it, it's all nonsense!"
"Grandmother!" Fen Dai stared wide-eyed, "But the injury on granddaughter's face is real! Also, does grandmother not want to know what eldest sister hid in the vase? "
While they spoke, An shi brought Xiang Rong over. Seeing Fen Dai's face, Xiang Rong retreated in fear.
Only then did Fen Dai realize that the injury on her face was very serious. Her heart that had been set on harming Chen Yu began to waver. She began to feel afraid and trembled as she touched her face; however, the pain caused her to tremble.
"Whoa!" In the end, she was still a child. She immediately began crying from fear. While crying, she said: "My face! My face is ruined! "
An shi reminded the matriarch: "Send someone to call a doctor first!"
The matriarch nodded and ordered granny Zhao: "Quickly go call a doctor into the manor."
Granny Zhao also became anxious, saying: "If we send someone to call a doctor now, what time will it be by the time the doctor returns? The injury to fourth young miss' face is quite serious. It can't wait. As this old servant sees it, how about … we go invite second young miss! "
The matriarch also reacted and repeatedly said: "Then go invite her! Quickly! "Immediately, a servant ran out to invite her.
Upon hearing that Feng Yu Heng would be invited over, Fen Dai let out a slight sigh of relief. No longer worried about her face, she began to think about how to deal with Feng Chen Yu, "Eldest sister still has not said what was hidden in the vase."
Feng Chen Yu helplessly said: "Fourth sister, elder sister is completely unable to understand what you are saying. How could there be a cloth bag in my vase? When did your servant chase after Yi Lin? "
Yi Lin saw this and quickly knelt, saying to the matriarch: "This servant's stomach was not feeling well today and indeed ran out, but when fourth young miss came to find eldest young miss, she came on her own. Where did she bring a maidservant!"
Xing 'er also knelt and said: "Elder madam, please allow this servant to report. This servant was taking care of things in the courtyard and indeed did not see fourth young miss bring a maidservant."
"You …" Fen Dai was dazed. Was this not nonsense? Had she seen a ghost in broad daylight?
Yi Lin, however, spoke up at this time, saying: "I do not know which servant fourth young miss is speaking of. Last night, when this servant went to the kitchen to get some snacks for eldest young miss, I saw fourth young miss punishing a servant named Pei 'er. At that time, Pei' er seemed to have spoken back, and fourth young miss slapped her."
This was true. Fen Dai was indeed unhappy the previous night and vented on Pei 'er, "Is it not very normal for this young miss to punish a servant?"
Yi Lin replied: "Fourth young miss is correct. This servant only thought of it and said it. There is no other meaning."
The matriarch snorted and looked at Fen Dai, saying: "Right now, you don't have any witnesses or evidence. Who can believe the nonsense that you say? Just obediently sit to the side and wait for your second sister to take a look at the injury. "
Fen Dai was unreconciled and wanted to argue a little more; however, Han shi's servant, A Ju, secretly tugged at her sleeve, hinting for her to stop causing a fuss.
But how could she give up like this. She could not help but cry and say to the matriarch: "Eldest sister speaks without thinking, yet grandmother, you insist on believing her. Why do you not believe me? She secretly hid something. Fearing that I would find out, she even pushed me down and hurt my face. Why do you not believe anything that I say? "
Chen Yu also began to cry. Using a voice that was even more grieved than Fen Dai's, she said: "Fourth sister, do not continue to wrongly accuse elder sister, alright? Elder sister really did not hide anything. Elder sister also does not blame you for breaking the vase. If younger sister is upset because of the injury to your face, elder sister will also cut my face and bleed with you, alright? "
Chen Yu pretended to be looking for a weapon, but she immediately saw a teacup on the table. Grabbing it, she threw it to the ground.
The matriarch screamed in fear "You can't! Quickly stop her! "
All of the servants hugged Chen Yu and begged: "Eldest young miss, you can't!"
Chen Yu cried bitterly, "My injury is fine. As long as fourth sister is happy, it's fine. Don't stop me!"
Fen Dai was so angry that she nearly shattered her teeth from gritting them!
Feng Chen Yu was too good at pretending. She was truly too good at pretending! These days, she had finally managed to feed the matriarch with good things and money. She thought that she would be able to gain some face from her; however, she did not think that the matriarch's heart would not be on her side when something happened.
She was angry, but she also knew that there was something fishy about today's situation, thus she whispered into A Ju's ear: "Send someone to look for Pei 'er. Head towards Feng Chen Yu's courtyard."
A Ju agreed and returned to Han shi's side to arrange for people. Fortunately, ever since Han shi became pregnant, she had brought along a large number of servants. At this time, they happened to be of use.
Seeing that Fen Dai was no longer causing trouble, Chen Yu gradually stopped; however, she continued to wipe away tears.
Xiang Rong stood there feeling very awkward. Looking at Fen Dai then looking at Chen Yu, she helplessly said: "Don't worry too much. Second sister's medical abilities are excellent. She will definitely be able to treat fourth sister's injury."
At this time, Han shi was worried about Fen Dai's injury. Xiang Rong was clearly advising her out of good intentions, but it sounded like she was talking about Feng Liang. Very impolitely, she snorted and said: "The injury is not on your face. Third young miss naturally does not need to worry."
An shi frowned, "Younger sister should not speak to third young miss like this. This is against the rules."
"Rules?" Han shi sneered, "Our manor's rules have been messed up long ago! Moreover, I am currently pregnant with the Feng family's child. When a girl is pregnant, most of her emotions are unstable. Even if I said something against the rules, what of it? "
Xiang Rong did not want to stir up trouble because of her, so she quickly stopped An shi from speaking. She then said to Han shi: "I am fine. Concubine mother Han, there is no need to take it to heart."
"I am not taking it to heart." Han shi looked at Xiang Rong. For some reason, she had shifted her anger towards Chen Yu onto her, saying: "Third young miss really is quite magnanimous. Of the young misses in our manor, you are the only one that is left without any hope. Ever since his Highness the seventh prince sent you a set of clothes a few months ago, he has not said anything else. Third young miss, you don't really believe that his Highness the seventh prince is your backer, right? "
Xiang Rong frowned, as her heart felt stifled, "I never thought of it that way. Concubine mother, please do not speak nonsense."
Han shi nodded, "It's good that you did not think of it. His Highness the seventh prince has yet to take in an official princess. As the daughter of a concubine, you cannot become the official princess. Do not focus on that and delay yourself. But … "She thought quickly and glanced towards Chen Yu," But there is still another path. If you must marry a prince, you can choose one whose official princess has died. Marrying over, you will become the secondary princess. That would barely be considered gaining face. "
These words were clearly referring to the eldest prince. Chen Yu's expression sank slightly, but she endured and did not say anything.
Xiang Rong had always felt that Han shi was very similar to the former Shen Clan. They were both people who did not filter their mouths. When they spoke, it was as unpleasant as it could be. She could not be bothered to argue with Han shi; however, her heart began to ache from the mention of his Highness the seventh prince.
An shi could tell that Xiang Rong was troubled and could not help but secretly sigh. Although Han shi's words were a bit unpleasant, she did not have any intention of refuting on Xiang Rong's behalf. If Han shi's sarcastic remarks could cause Xiang Rong to completely give up, she would need to thank Han shi.
At this time, the matriarch simply closed her eyes. She did not want to say anything, nor did she want to look at anyone. This room full of people causing a ruckus caused her to feel uneasy. She hated all of them, and she wanted to strangle all of them to death. Now, she could only hope that Feng Yu Heng could arrive quickly so that this farce could end quickly.
Who knew that this wait would last for a full two hours.
Finally, when the servant that had gone to invite Feng Yu Heng returned, the one following behind her was not Feng Yu Heng. Instead, it was an unfamiliar old man.
With a bitter expression, the servant told the matriarch: "Second young miss will not come!"
