Feng Xiang Rong did not understand, "Why does concubine mother have to personally clean? Shouldn't these things be done by the servants? "Although concubine mother was not a proper master, there was no reason to have concubine mother clean the courtyard!
The Shen Clan fiercely glared at Xiang Rong, scaring Xiang Rong into quickly lowering her head.
Feng Yu Heng did not care about these things. If someone asked, she would answer: "Mother empathized with us and sent her most capable wet nurse and two first class maids to Willow courtyard. Heng Heng and concubine mother are overwhelmed by this favor. But they were all first class servants, how could they be allowed to do such menial work like those rough servants? Also, Man Xi was brought out by me this morning. Zirui is still young, so granny Sun has to take care of him. Granny Li still has to pay respects to mother. Only Bao Tang is left to take care of the courtyard. If concubine mother does not take care of it, how can she handle it. "
When she said this, everyone in the room had an ugly expression.
Feng Yu Heng added: "It's fine, it's fine. Concubine mother and I are used to doing these things in the mountains. Even if there are no rough servants, we can still get by!" She reminded everyone again that Willow courtyard did not have a single rough servant arranged.
The matriarch felt that ever since Feng Yu Heng entered the room, she had been slapping her non-stop. Her old face had been completely lost!
And the one who caused her to lose face was not someone else. It was the head wife of this manor. She did not like the Shen Clan at all.
Thinking like this, her heart felt even more unbalanced. The Shen Clan's maternal family only had some money, but they were not very rich at that time. It was only enough to support Feng Jin Yuan's expenses for the exams and take care of her in the village. Later on, the Shen Clan became rich. They relied on the Feng family's face to come to the capital. Otherwise, how could they have come into contact with the imperial family's business.
And Yao shi at that time was the true hero that allowed the Feng family to gain a foothold in the capital!
She thought of her waist again. Just now, what Feng Yu Heng said seemed to make some sense. Although the Yao family killed the imperial concubine, such a serious crime did not kill anyone. They were only demoted and sent to Huang Zhou. That Old Imperial Physician Yao is said to be number one in the world. There are many people who have received his grace!
Thinking like this, the feelings of pity and pity that had just arisen for Feng Yu Heng returned. Opening her mouth, she said: "My A-Heng has suffered."
Feng Chen Yu was slightly stunned, as a dark cloud immediately appeared on her face.
Feng Yu Heng also saw the change in the old lady's mood, but this change did not affect her much, and she was not moved at all.
What was the use of remembering the hardships they had suffered now? Your real granddaughter had already died in the unmarked graveyard in the northwest mountains. She had promised to avenge the original owner.
"Grandmother, you worry too much. Heng Heng is not suffering." She casually said, but the old lady felt that she was even more sensible.
"Zhao mama." The old lady spoke, "Go pick a few servants and send them to Willow courtyard. Also, arrange for some servants to enter the manor. Pick a few personal servants for the second young miss." She then glanced at the Shen Clan. Turning the prayer beads in her hand, she thought that it would be best to give her some face, thus she said: "The Shen Clan sending their own capable people over is also correct. It will be a good opportunity to train the newcomers. Let's do it this way. "
"Everything will be done according to the old lady." Zhao mama received the order and left. Although the Shen Clan was not happy, they did not say anything.
Feng Chen Yu calmed herself down and let go of the Shen Clan. Taking the initiative, she walked over to Feng Yu Heng and followed the old lady's words: "Grandmother is extremely correct. These years, second sister has suffered quite a bit in the mountains." As she spoke, she held Feng Yu Heng's hand, "I remember when you were young, your hands were as beautiful as white jade. It made me very envious. But now that you've worked hard in the mountains, there are many calluses and scratches. It really makes elder sister's heart ache. " Raising her head, she looked at her face, "Your skin has also darkened. I don't know if it will return to normal after a few days in the manor. It really is …" As she spoke, two tears appeared in her eyes.
Feng Yu Heng sighed in her heart: She really was good at acting! Tears came as she wished. There was no need to brew them.
But Feng Chen Yu's words and tears were not for nothing. Using the excuse of feeling sorry for her younger sister, she gave a verbal report of her younger sister's current situation to everyone present.
The old lady also understood. Feng Yu Heng's hands had become messy, and her skin had darkened. The things that a girl could rely on the most were all gone. In the future, it would not be easy to find a good family.
Thinking again about the marriage of the Ninth Prince, it seemed that Chen Yu was the most suitable. There were so many princes in the government that were eyeing the throne. As for the Feng family that had no backing and only relied on her son in court, they had to choose the most reliable backer. The Ninth Prince had military achievements, and he was the Emperor's most beloved son. The Emperor had personally promised that he would announce the crown prince on the day that the Ninth Prince returned to court. Who knew if there had been any new developments on this matter. If the Ninth Prince really did become the crown prince, then the Feng family would definitely need to hold onto this backer. This marriage would be the best bridge. But her son's attitude yesterday …
"I still have some clothes that have not been worn. If younger sister does not mind, I will have someone send them over in a while. Younger sister, make do with them for now. When the new clothes arrive, you can change them!" Feng Chen Yu threw out another favor.
Feng Yu Heng was very shocked: "How could that be allowed!" With this, her voice became a bit louder, "Eldest sister is the daughter of the first wife. How could a daughter of a concubine like Heng Heng wear the clothes of a daughter of the first wife!" Looking at her own clothes, she continued: "Is elder sister blaming me for wearing the clothes that were previously given to the daughter of the first wife? Then Heng Heng Heng will go back and change! " She turned to leave, but she seemed to have thought of something and turned back: "Eldest sister should not blame fourth sister. She was young in the past and only took these clothes to wear because they were pretty. She definitely did not covet the position of daughter of the first wife."
These words dragged Feng Fen Dai into the water.
Fen Dai's face turned pale. When she took these clothes, Feng Yu Heng had already been chased out of the manor. Although it was against the rules, nobody said anything. Now that Feng Yu Heng had explained it like this, it was not a good thing. Feng Chen Yu might not blame her for her face, but the Shen Clan was still present!
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Shen Clan immediately exploded "In my Dashun dynasty, there is a difference between the daughter of the first wife and the daughter of a concubine. What sort of situation is this for the daughter of a concubine to wear the clothes of the daughter of the first wife? Fourth girl, do you blame mother for treating you poorly and not making you good clothes? Or do you only care about the things of the daughter of the first wife? "
Fen Dai quickly stood up and explained: "No, no! Mother, Fen Dai never had any intentions of coveting the position of daughter of the first wife. At that time, I only took them to wear after second sister left. If second sister did not leave the manor, Fen Dai definitely would not dare. "
"Did not leave the manor?" The Shen Clan was very good at finding fault with words, "You still hope that she did not leave the manor?"
"Fen Dai did not!" Feng Fen Dai felt that when facing the Shen Clan, even a hundred mouths would not be able to explain themselves because this mother of hers was completely unreasonable. Not only was she unreasonable, she was completely unable to understand what others were saying.
"Elder madam!" This time, the Shen Clan had learned to be smart. Just being serious on their own was not enough. They had to drag the matriarch into the water. "As you see it, shouldn't there be an explanation for this matter? The rules of the manor must not be broken. "
The matriarch rolled her eyes. She was not so easy to drag around. With the Shen Clan saying this, she kicked the ball back: "You are the head wife of the family. Why are you asking me about the rules?"
The Shen Clan suffered a setback and felt even more unhappy, "Fourth girl, just stay in your room and copy Precepts for Women. If there is nothing important, do not go out."
These words placed Fen Dai under house arrest.
Feng Fen Dai naturally did not dare oppose the Shen Clan. Feeling wronged, she saluted, expressing that she accepted it.
But turning her head, she fiercely glared at Feng Yu Heng.
She would not forget that today's matter was caused by this second sister. A person that had been kicked out of the position of daughter of the first wife actually dared to be so arrogant. Sooner or later, there would come a day when she would settle this debt.
Feng Yu Heng smiled at the fierce glare and did not say anything else. Instead, she said to Feng Chen Yu: "Since mother has already punished fourth sister, eldest sister should not blame her anymore."
Feng Chen Yu also had a belly full of anger. What did she mean by not blaming her anymore? When had she ever said she was blaming her? Although she was not too happy, she had never made things difficult for anyone on the surface.
She immediately showed a comforting smile to Feng Fen Dai, "Fourth sister, there is no need to take it to heart. Elder sister has never blamed you. Elder sister will help you copy Precepts for Women. Mother will not get angry. "She then turned to the Shen Clan:" Isn't that right, mother? "
The Shen Clan naturally would not neglect their own daughter's face. Smiling, they nodded: "Of course, mother will not get angry at Chen Yu. Our Chen Yu is sensible and loves her sisters. She is most suited for the position of daughter of the first wife in the Feng manor. "
"Chen Yu was originally the daughter of the first wife. Naturally, she is suited!" A flirtatious voice came from outside the door, along with a few giggles. Everyone knew that the fourth concubine mother had arrived.
The fourth concubine mother, Han shi, was the last to enter the manor; however, she had given birth in the same year as the third concubine mother, An shi. There was only a difference of four months.
Han shi was born with a seductive appearance and was naturally charming. Not to mention men, but even many women who saw her smile would feel numb.
She was originally a courtesan in an art gallery. Feng Jin Yuan had once accompanied someone to a social gathering and immediately took a liking to her. After returning to the manor, he ignored the matriarch's objections and forcefully brought her in through the back door. He even gave her the position of fourth concubine mother.
Over the years, Han shi's favor never stopped. Feng Jin Yuan never took in another concubine mother. Adding on the fact that the current Shen Clan was the result of Feng Jin Yuan favoring the concubines and neglecting the wife, Feng Fen Dai always had a misconception. She believed that if her father could do the same thing once, he could do it a second time. It was possible that when the Shen Clan fell, her concubine mother, Han shi, would rise.
Also, Han shi's flirtatious words caused everyone in the room, aside from Feng Fen Dai, to feel disgusted.
No matter how beautiful she was, no matter how good she was at winning people's hearts, that was only for men and outsiders. Not a single woman in the manor took a liking to her.
A courtesan, even if it was the daughter of a merchant like the Shen Clan, felt that they could not afford to lose face like that. That was why whenever there was a banquet, she never allowed Han shi to appear. She was only raised in the courtyard to save herself from being too shabby.
As for Han shi, she was someone who could stay put and did not fight for fame or status. Adding on the fact that she would occasionally speak of the Shen Clan's good points next to Feng Jin Yuan's pillow, the Shen Clan no longer treated her as an enemy like they did in the past.
Along with Han shi was the third concubine mother, An shi. When the two entered, they first paid respects to the matriarch. The Shen Clan spoke up to remind them: "You came late today."
An shi was someone who kept a low profile. She never liked wasting words with the Shen Clan. Moreover, with Han shi present, anything that was said would be said first. This saved her a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, upon hearing the Shen Clan say this, Han shi immediately covered her mouth and laughed. She then said: "Madam does not know, but this concubine and sister An actually came out a long time ago. Who knew that we would run into husband on the way here. After chatting for a while, we ended up being a little late."
"Husband?" The Shen Clan was stunned, "Didn't husband go to court?"
