"Grandmother." She quietly spoke, breaking the matriarch's train of thought, "Second sister has learned many things from lord Yao since she was young. Chen Yu just thought about it and decided that there is no harm in trying out the method she spoke of. Also, now that concubine mother Yao has brought second sister and Zirui back to the capital, our relationship with the Yao family should be restored. Chen Yu will tell mother to remember to prepare a gift for the Yao family at the end of the year. "
"You must not!" The matriarch was immediately woken up by Feng Chen Yu. The Yao family was personally punished by the Emperor. Who dared to interact with them, would that not be slapping the Emperor's face? "Yao shi returning to the manor is unrelated to the Yao family, and there is no custom of the husband's family preparing a gift for the concubine's maternal family. Do not bring this matter up again. "Waving her hand, she turned the page.
Feng Yu Heng did not mind. Whether or not there were elders in this manor that protected her, it made no difference to her. On the other hand, aside from Yao shi and Zirui, she hoped that there would be fewer worries in this manor. If she wanted to fight, she would fight thoroughly. That way, the original owner's death in the mountain village would not have been in vain.
She sat back down, and Fen Dai, who was to the side, moved her chair a little further away. The two accidentally touched the hem of their clothes, and Fen Dai took out a handkerchief and patted it a few times. She then put the handkerchief away and rolled her eyes at Feng Yu Heng.
She blinked and also took out a handkerchief and patted it a few times. She then handed the handkerchief to Man Xi, who had returned to her side: "Take it out and throw it away."
Fen Dai's face turned green with anger, but there was nothing she could do about her second sister. She could only sit in her chair and wring her fingers.
But at this time, there was a commotion outside the door. From far away, someone could be heard shouting: "Has elder madam woken up?"
It was the Shen Clan.
The matriarch disliked the Shen Clan's shrew-like personality the most. It was fine if they lost face, but they also dragged her into it. What did they mean by has she woken up? What time was it now? Who were they shouting for?
Feng Chen Yu saw that the matriarch's expression was not good and quickly stood up to greet her. Supporting the Shen Clan, she said: "Mother is best at making grandmother happy." While they were talking, they saw the jade beads in Shen Clan's hands. They had never seen her use it before, so it was obvious that she was new to it. The jadeite was exquisite and translucent. It was actually the most precious glass type.
Chen Yu recalled that her youngest uncle had come to the manor yesterday afternoon. Every time her youngest uncle came, he would give her mother quite a few nice things. Thinking about it, he must have received them yesterday.
She thought for a moment and immediately said, "Are these the prayer beads that Mother said she wanted to give to Grandmother yesterday? It's actually a glass type. Such a precious object should only be held by Grandmother! "
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, including the Shen Clan. Looking at the things in her hands, she then looked at Feng Chen Yu, who was secretly winking at her. She knew that something must have happened in the room before she arrived. Thinking about what Mammy Li had secretly reported to her about what had happened in the Willow Courtyard from yesterday to this morning, her eyes shot to Feng Yu Heng.
This girl must have done something again!
She did not really believe what Mammy Li had reported earlier. In her impression, Yao shi and her daughter were not people who would fight back. Could it be that they had changed after living in the mountains for a few years?
Feng Chen Yu saw that Shen Clan was in a daze and secretly pinched her arm, "Mother, what are you still in a daze for. Quickly let Grandmother take a look!"
Shen Clan gritted her teeth. Her heart ached to death!
Yesterday, her younger brother Shen Luo had just sent over something nice. She had just gotten hold of it, but now it was going to be given away. How could she swallow this anger?
But she could not swallow it. If it was someone else giving it away, even if it was Feng Jin Yuan, she would not accept it. But when Feng Chen Yu spoke, it was different. This daughter was all of her hope. In fact, she valued her even more than her disappointing son. Moreover, Chen Yu had always been a girl with her own ideas. She would never speak without reason. Since she said she would give it away, then there must be a reason.
Shen Clan calmed herself down and gripped the prayer beads in her hand. Finally thinking things through, she stepped forward and handed the beads to the matriarch with a smile: "Elder madam, I was just teasing you. Look, your wife has brought something good for you! "
When the matriarch heard Chen Yu mention the glass type jadeite, she was already moved. She no longer cared about Shen Clan's earlier shout, as she stared straight at the string of beads.
Shen Clan's heart ached, but she still pretended to be happy and introduced it: "Exactly how valuable this is, I am not clear, but yesterday, my younger brother from my maternal family came to visit me. In the past, he would always bring some nice things, but this time, he only brought this one. Thinking about it, if it was not extremely valuable, someone as reliable as him would definitely not bring this as a gift. "
These words were very clear. In the past, he had brought a large pile, and everything was good. This time, he only brought this one, yet its value was the sum of all the previous ones.
How could the matriarch not understand. She was so happy that she could not close her mouth. Holding the prayer beads in her hand, it was as though she was holding a rare treasure. She was just short of kissing it.
Feng Yu Heng had seen greedy people before, but she had never seen such a greedy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this family. Otherwise, why would it be said that if two people wanted to maintain a relationship for a long time, only benefits would be the most reliable.
But she could not allow this group of people to be too comfortable. She had not truly come to this courtyard to pay respects. She had come with the intention of causing trouble for this group of people.
Thus she looked at the maidservant behind Shen Clan, Jin Zhen. She saw that this girl did not mind the heat in the middle of the day, as she wore a high-collared brocade shirt.
This was also fine. She could just treat it as a maidservant being vain, and the master would also indulge her. But the high collar could not hide the faintly discernible red mark on her neck.
Was it a hickey?
She looked carefully. Un, it really was a hickey.
Thus she secretly pursed her lips. This action, however, happened to be seen by Feng Xiang Rong. The young girl trembled and subconsciously used her elbow to nudge Feng Yu Heng.
She turned her head and quietly asked: "Xiang Rong, what are you doing?"
Feng Xiang Rong gathered her courage for a long time and finally spoke: "Second, second sister, wh-what are you doing?"
She faintly laughed, "When people are hungry, they need to eat. When they are thirsty, they need to drink water. At the same time, if there are no clothes to wear, they naturally need to ask for clothes. They want to gloss over this matter, but I won't do it. "
After saying this, she stood up and walked over to Jin Zhen.
Of course, Feng Xiang Rong did not know what exactly she was planning, but she subconsciously said to Jin Zhen: Good luck. She then picked up the tea and prepared to watch the play.
Feng Chen Yu also saw her actions. Before she could ask, she heard Feng Yu Heng say in surprise: "So the clothes on mother's side also fade so easily!"
Everyone fell silent.
Feng Yu Heng, your determination to get clothes is truly firm!
Shen Clan naturally understood the concept of "clothes fading." Granny Li had already told her that Man Xi had come wearing that set of clothes. At that time, she had not yet woken up. Hearing granny Li say this, she immediately became alert. Only then did she rush over to Shu Ya courtyard.
But, what did it mean to say that the clothes on her side had also faded?
Shen Clan turned her head and saw Feng Yu Heng carefully examining Jin Zhen's collar. She was puzzled and also looked over.
Sure enough, if one did not look carefully, they would not have noticed that Jin Zhen's neck had a red mark. Also, she did not look carefully at this girl before. How could she be wearing clothes at the end of summer?
Jin Zhen naturally understood what Feng Yu Heng had seen, but she never thought that the pair of shoes that had been lost the previous night was taken away by Feng Yu Heng. She only thought that Feng Yu Heng had seen the hickey and deliberately brought the matter of the clothes to mind. It seemed that everyone had previously looked down on this second young miss. Or perhaps it was as granny Li had said. The second young miss had lived in the mountains for a few years, so her entire personality had changed.
She wanted to dodge, but every time she took a step back, Feng Yu Heng would take a step forward. She forced Jin Zhen into the corner of the table with no way out. Only then did she grab her collar and ask: "Jin Zhen girl, if this is not clothes fading, then what is it? A rash? Then you must call a doctor to take a closer look! "
Jin Zhen trembled in fear and subconsciously said: "You can't call a doctor!" What a joke. What sort of eyes did a doctor have? Wouldn't they be able to tell with a single glance? She was just a maidservant. Even if she was a maidservant, she was still just a maidservant. A doctor naturally would not give her any face. Thinking of this, Jin Zhen immediately changed her words "It's clothes that are fading."
The Shen Clan began shouting once more "When did I ever let you wear clothes that were fading?"
Chen Yu quickly pinched her then tried to smooth things over: "Naturally, it could not have been mother. Thinking about it, there must be a problem with the new materials that came in recently. It would be better to change them all."
Feng Yu Heng squinted her eyes. In her previous life, she had heard of scamming fathers. Now, there was a Shen Clan that was a scam for women. Thinking about it, Feng Chen Yu had been responsible for smoothing things over from a young age. It was quite tiring.
She no longer paid any attention to Jin Zhen. As long as she achieved her goal, it was fine. She did not care about anything else.
Jin Zhen trembled as she returned to the middle of the room. Seeing that all of the masters were looking at her, she felt her hair stand on end and dropped to her knees: "It's all this servant's fault. It was this servant that did not look carefully when putting on the clothes. This servant will immediately go back and change." After saying this, she glanced at the head madam. Seeing that she still had a hostile expression, she could not help but look towards Feng Chen Yu for help.
Feng Chen Yu nodded on behalf of the Shen Clan, "Then go back and change."
The Shen Clan glared at Jin Zhen, looking as though they wanted to eat her alive. As Jin Zhen retreated, her scalp felt numb. She knew that she would be given a good beating in a while. She could not help but secretly hate Li Zhu.
With this commotion, the matter of the clothes could no longer be covered up.
The matriarch was well aware that it was the Shen Clan's doing, but she did not think that a few words from Feng Yu Heng would force her to speak up to uphold justice. Fortunately, Chen Yu had already found an excuse for her, so it would not cause the Shen Clan to lose too much face.
The matriarch felt the prayer beads in her hand, and the unhappiness in her heart immediately lessened by quite a bit, "Chen Yu is correct. There must be a problem with the materials that came in. Shen Clan, you are the head wife of the family. This matter will be left to you to handle. Also, have someone prepare new clothes for Heng, Zirui and their mother. There is not enough time to do it now, so go out and buy some ready-made clothes. We can't always allow Heng to walk around in her old clothes. That would also cause the Feng manor to lose face. "
The Shen Clan gritted their teeth and unwillingly said: "Yes, daughter-in-law understands. In a moment, I will have someone take care of it. The servants in charge of the materials will also need to be taught a lesson." After saying this, she glared at Feng Yu Heng then looked at the children present. Frowning, she said: "Where have the manor's rules gone? She just returned to the manor yesterday. Why did she not come pay respects to the matriarch this morning? "These words were clearly directed at Yao shi.
Feng Yu Heng smiled at the Shen Clan and explained: "The reason concubine mother was not able to come was because the clothes were given to Man Xi. She could only wear the clothes that were dusty from yesterday. Coming would have dirtied grandmother's eyes. Secondly, because Willow courtyard was recently moved in, concubine mother got up early to clean, but there was truly too much work. Even when Heng came out, she still could not finish. "
