Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "Grandmother sympathized with the Heng siblings not spending the new year in the capital for many years, so she specially had eldest sister go to Tong Sheng pavilion to remind Heng Heng of the relevant matters. Heng Heng is very grateful. It's just that I was in a rush to pick up Zirui this morning, so I did not even have time to see the gifts that came. "
She said this while pushing Zirui. The child had lived in Xiao Zhou for a few months, so he had become more and more alert. Seeing his elder sister push him forward, he immediately ran over to Feng Chen Yu's side of the bed and knelt down. Raising his clear and childish voice, he said: "Zirui thanks eldest sister for your concern. Eldest sister kindly went to pick me up, but you were implicated in an attack. Zirui feels very guilty. But eldest sister, please do not worry. Grandmother will definitely get justice for us siblings! "
The matriarch had been wondering when she had sent Chen Yu to spread the news, but suddenly hearing Zirui say this, she was immediately startled and anxiously asked: "What did you say? Attacked? "She then looked at the wound on Chen Yu's head. She originally thought that it was from a fall, but she did not think that it was from an attack.
Chen Yu lay in bed and cried bitterly. The matriarch felt wronged for her and could not help but say: "Chen Yu, don't worry. Grandmother definitely will not ignore this matter. Daring to touch my Feng family's child, I see that the culprit is tired of living! "
Chen Yu's crying suddenly stopped. It was as though something was stuck in her throat, making it impossible for her to make another sound.
The matriarch's words caused her to be shocked, but when she thought about it, she was not afraid. Aside from the eagle that she knew had been secretly raised by her third uncle, the people that had tried to assassinate Zirui were all hired. Even if the matriarch wanted to investigate, she would not be able to find anything.
Thinking of this point, the anger that had been stuck in her throat calmed down a little, as she continued to cry.
The matriarch was annoyed by her crying, and she felt that the wound on her forehead was truly too shocking. With this piece of flesh missing, Chen Yu's appearance would be ruined. The confidence that she had just recovered for this granddaughter of hers collapsed once more. She could not help but scold: "Stop crying. A doctor has already been called!"
Chen Yu's breath was once again stuck in her throat. She needed Yi Lin's help to calm her down before she could breathe again.
Matriarch Furen motioned for Zhao mama to help Zirui up, then asked him, "How were you attacked?" After thinking for a while, she glanced at Feng Yu Heng, "Why was your eldest sister the only one injured?"
Zirui replied, "On my way back to the capital, I was attacked by a dozen men in black. Fortunately, Big Sister Wang Chuan hid me in a pile of snow, and I was lucky enough to escape the disaster. But … Wang Chuan Jiejie was taken away by bad people. She must have met with misfortune. "When the child said this, he became sad and lowered his head to wipe away his tears.
He had a deep relationship with Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, especially after Wang Chuan came to Xiao Zhou, he took great care of him and often visited him at the Academy. At such a young age, he was alone outside. If he said that he did not miss home, that would be a lie. Seeing Wang Chuan was like seeing a relative, and it made him feel very close.
Seeing that Zirui was crying and unable to speak, the matriarch said to Feng Yu Heng: "You tell him."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Zirui's situation was like that. As for our side, the horse that was originally running well was suddenly pecked blind by a goshawk that swooped down from the sky. The carriage jolted, and I was thrown out of the carriage. As for the goshawk, it swooped down once more and bit eldest sister's forehead. "
Zirui interjected: "I feel that the goshawk was deliberately released by someone. It was to prevent elder sisters from coming to save me."
"Ah!" Just hearing this caused the matriarch's heart to tremble. She asked Feng Yu Heng "Then were you injured?"
"Thank you grandmother for your concern. Zirui's body does hurt a little, but fortunately, it did not injure her muscles or bones. But eldest sister … grandmother must investigate this matter thoroughly!"
The matriarch nodded, "It must be investigated thoroughly. Daring to harm the children of a first rank official in the suburbs of the capital, this sort of person should be skinned alive! Zirui is right. That goshawk must have been deliberately released by someone. Otherwise, why would it swoop down and peck people when it was flying well? Granny Zhao "She ordered:" Send someone to report to the government. Just say that the young master and young miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo were attacked in the suburbs of the capital. Have the governor properly investigate this matter! "
"Yes." Granny Zhao was about to go order someone to report to the government when the matriarch added: "Tell the governor that the left prime minister, Feng Jin Yuan, will be returning to the capital tomorrow. He must personally investigate this matter."
Granny Zhao nodded and quickly trotted out. She knew that since the matriarch mentioned using Feng Jin Yuan to intimidate the governor, she was truly angry this time. Thinking about it, this was also the case. Feng Zirui was attacked! Presently, the Feng family only had one child. If something happened to him, would the Feng family's line not be cut off?
Upon hearing that the matriarch wanted to report to the government, Chen Yu, who was lying in bed, quickly said: "Grandmother, what is the point of reporting to the government? We can't even provide the governor with a single clue. Those are assassins that come and go without a trace. How are they supposed to investigate? "
Although the matriarch felt that what Chen Yu said was reasonable, as this sort of case was always reported but not solved. She had always known the governor's ability to handle matters. But she had heard that the previous governor had made a mistake and was suddenly demoted by the Emperor. Now that this was a new official, she did not know if the three fires could be lit.
Feng Yu Heng listened to Chen Yu's words then looked at the matriarch's expression. How could she not know what they were thinking. What a pity … She secretly laughed to herself. Because of the matter with the orphans, she had sent a letter to Xuan Tianhua. Who knew that although Xuan Tianhua appeared gentle, he would be so swift and decisive in his actions. She had sent the letter in the afternoon, and the matter had been taken care of by night.
The capital had changed officials, and a notice was posted at that time. There were also bailiffs visiting the manors of the various officials to report. The Feng family naturally received notice immediately.
But nobody knew that this change in officials was because of a single sentence from Feng Yu Heng.
"It's not like there is no evidence at all." She suddenly spoke up. Looking at Chen Yu, she slightly squinted her eyes, "There is no need for grandmother to worry about what eldest sister is thinking about."
These words caused Chen Yu, who was lying in bed, to tremble. Turning her head in extreme horror, she looked at her with her heart in her throat.
She then heard Feng Yu Heng say: "Something like evidence, granddaughter really does have it." As she spoke, she shouted outside "Huang Quan! Bring the evidence in! "
Huang Quan very quickly entered the room from the outside. When he entered, he was holding a very large thing in his hand. It was covered with a black cloth, so who knew what was inside.
Feng Yu Heng said: "Open the evidence and let grandmother and eldest sister see it."
"Yes." Huang Quan complied and placed the thing in his hand on the ground. Lifting the black cloth, a cage was placed in front of everyone.
The matriarch looked inside the cage and retreated in fear. Her old back nearly sprained! Fortunately, there was a young servant to support her from behind; however, she could feel that the matriarch's entire body was trembling.
It was not just the matriarch that was trembling. The servants were also trembling because there was a goshawk in the cage. Its head was half the size of Feng Zirui's body, and its sharp beak was half the length of a child's arm. Although it lay in the cage with its eyes closed, it still caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
"This, this is …" The matriarch suddenly reacted "This is the goshawk that attacked you?"
These words caused Chen Yu, who was in bed, to suddenly sit up. Her eyes looked towards the cage in horror. It was as though she had seen a ghost.
Yi Lin held her back from the side, fearing that she would impulsively say something that she should not say, thus she repeatedly said: "Young miss, please calm down. Although that goshawk bit you, the most important thing is your body. You absolutely must not get angry!"
Saying it like this, everyone believed that Feng Chen Yu's actions were nothing more than a case of enraged eyes meeting an enemy, which was acceptable. However, only Feng Yu Heng knew that the goshawk that she had thought had flown away had suddenly appeared here. Feng Chen Yu feared that she would be curled into a ball.
"Grandmother." She kicked the cage a couple times, "Granddaughter will have my subordinates bring this goshawk to the government office and personally hand it over to the governor. This sort of goshawk is very special. Look, it even has a gold hoop around its neck. It is clear that it has been domesticated by someone. I trust that as long as the governor is not too stupid, following this clue, he will be able to find some clues. "
The matriarch really did take a look at the goshawk's neck. But of course, there was a gold hoop around its neck. She nodded and said: "Send it over! Ask the governor to investigate this matter thoroughly. Someone actually dared to assassinate my Feng family's child. This matter definitely will not be tolerated! " As she spoke, she turned her head and said to Chen Yu: "Don't worry, grandmother will definitely find the culprit and get revenge for you!"
Chen Yu was so frightened that she nearly fell out of bed. The matriarch, however, only thought that she had been angered by the goshawk and only said: "Take care of yourself. The doctor will be here in a while." She originally wanted to say that she would have Feng Yu Heng take a look first, but when she recalled the previous time when Feng Fen Dai's face was hurt, she felt too embarrassed to speak. "Your father will return tomorrow. At that time, he will also support you."
Chen Yu's eyes rolled back, as she completely fainted.
That night, Feng Yu Heng and Yao shi spent the first half of the night with Zirui. The young child held Feng Yu Heng's hand and repeatedly told her about Yun Lu Academy. The two siblings would occasionally laugh together. Zirui told her: "Head teacher said that when I am eight years old, I can try to participate in the provincial exam. Either way, it is just for fun, so there is no need for too much pressure. I just need to go and find some feeling."
"Eight years old?" Feng Yu Heng facepalmed, "Isn't that a little too early?"
Zirui tilted his head and asked her: "Is it early?"
Was it not early? It would be fine if he did not get a good ranking, but if he did get a good ranking, wouldn't that cause those poor scholars to die of anger?
She asked Zirui: "I remember that in the past, you did not really like studying. Instead, you liked reading books on the art of war."
Zirui said: "Now, I still like reading books on the art of war. Those homework are just things that I must learn. Every day, I only need four hours to finish memorizing the books. Head teacher will then personally teach me about the art of war. Elder sister, I can now memorize two books on the art of war. Although I am not too good at it, head teacher said that I should memorize it first, and he will teach me bit by bit."
Feng Yu Heng had no choice but to praise this child's intelligence. Although she did not like Feng Jin Yuan's personality, he had still taken one step at a time to become the prime minister. His intelligence was not just for show.
That night, Tong Sheng pavilion was filled with joy and harmony; however, Feng Chen Yu did not sleep at all.
When she found out that a piece of flesh had been bitten off from her forehead by the eagle, her heart practically collapsed. She hated Feng Yu Heng, and she also hated Chen Wan Liang, but Yi Lin had no choice but to remind her: "We need to inform third master about the eagle. Have him think of a way to go to the government office and steal the eagle."
"No!" Her face was distorted with anger, and her voice was on the verge of breaking, "Just have the governor investigate! It would be best if they could all be found and killed! Right! Kill! Kill them all! Kill the eagle! Kill the Chen family! Kill Feng Yu Heng! "
