Feng Chen Yu did not know if it was a psychological effect, but when she saw the guards surround the manor, the first thing she thought of was "Father shouldn't have gotten into trouble, right?"
The more she thought this, the more fear she felt. She could not help but crawl out of the carriage. She did not know if she wanted to escape or if she wanted to crawl into the manor to tell Feng Jin Yuan to escape. Either way, she continued to crawl. As she crawled, she heard a "thump" sound, as she fell to the ground.
Feng Chen Yu fell and cried out, scaring the driver so much that he no longer cared about seniority. He wanted to help her up, but before he could even touch the corner of Chen Yu's clothes, another person fell out of the carriage with a "thump." This person fell directly onto Chen Yu's body, causing Chen Yu to see stars and nearly die.
The driver squatted in front of the two and repeatedly advised the one on top: "Miss Xing 'er, if you do not quickly come down, eldest young miss will be crushed to death by you!"
Xing 'er cried even more miserably than Chen Yu. She also knew that she had hit the eldest young miss, but she could not move! Seeing the eldest young miss fall, she became anxious and began to crawl out. Who knew that she would not be able to crawl properly and would also fall. Coincidentally, she fell onto the eldest young miss. Heavens! Would she be beaten to death by the eldest young miss?
Thinking like this, she gained some motivation. Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, she rolled off Chen Yu's body.
As for Chen Yu, she did not have the time to argue with her. With the pressure on her body gone, she desperately crawled forward. She crawled until she reached the feet of the leader of the guards. Suddenly tugging at the guard's soft armor, she asked in a hoarse voice: "Could it be that something happened to father? You came to search the manor, right? "
The guard trembled in fear and subconsciously raised his foot to kick her; however, the driver grabbed his leg: "You can't kick. This is our Feng family's eldest young miss!"
The guard was confused. Feng family's eldest young miss? Wasn't she a beauty capable of causing the downfall of a country? Why did she look like a demon? Also, the Feng family's driver, what sort of situation is this? What are you hugging his leg for?
For a while, there were many guards outside the Feng manor. The sounds of crying and shouting filled the air.
Not long later, Feng Jin Yuan finally brought everyone from the Feng family out. The guard that had been hugged saw them come out and quickly shouted: "Lord Feng!"
Feng Jin Yuan was stunned. This, wasn't this the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhong Shuisheng? What was he doing here?
"Lord Feng!" Zhong Shuisheng was very helpless. "Can you let your mansion's coachman, Eldest Miss, and this servant girl get up from the ground first? It's really inappropriate for them to carry me like this!"
Only then did Feng Jin Yuan see the people on the ground. He could not help but become furious "Quickly get up! What's with all the noise? "
But Feng Chen Yu had experienced a series of things today, and her mind was a little unclear. Upon hearing Feng Jin Yuan shout, she thought that something had happened. She could not help but hold her head and shout: "Don't grab me! Don't catch me! It's all my father's fault, it's all my father's fault, you can't arrest me! " While shouting, she began to cry. She then finally had a bit of conscience, as she did not forget to remind Feng Jin Yuan: "Father, quickly run! Quickly run away! As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to fear a lack of firewood! "
Feng Jin Yuan's mind exploded with a buzzing sound, as he pushed the male servant at his side forward: "Go and bring her in!"
How could the male servant dare! Helpless, he asked the matriarch for help. The matriarch's face was bright red with anger, as she quickly ordered granny Zhao: "Quickly, have someone carry them in."
Granny Zhao quickly called for a few strong grannies to go forward. Without another word, they carried Feng Chen Yu and Xing 'er away. Even the coachman was carried away.
Feng Chen Yu continued to desperately shout: "Father! You can't die! You absolutely must not die! "
"Evil creature!" The veins on Feng Jin Yuan's forehead bulged, as he felt both anger and despair. This eldest daughter, it seemed that he really could not keep her.
"County princess." Zhong Shuisheng was very embarrassed. He had previously heard that the madams and young misses of large families could not help but have a few tricks up their sleeves. In the blink of an eye, they would come up with a plan. When they fought, it was truly spectacular. But why was it that when he came to the capital's largest family, what he saw was completely different from what he had heard? The Feng family's eldest young miss … was an idiot, right? He helplessly asked Feng Yu Heng for help, "This lowly one has come on his Majesty's orders to protect you."
Feng Yu Heng had already guessed that Emperor Tianwu would send someone to protect her, but she did not think that it would come so quickly. She still did not recognize this person and was about to ask, but Feng Jin Yuan spoke up first, taking the initiative to introduce him: "Heng, this is deputy commander Zhong of the Imperial Guard. For his Majesty to send him to protect you, it is enough to prove that his Majesty values and cares for you."
Feng Yu Heng nodded and faintly said: "Then I will trouble deputy commander Zhong. My county princess' manor is right next to the Feng manor. I will have Huang Quan bring you over." As she spoke, she gave Huang Quan a look. Huang Quan immediately brought Zhong Shuisheng to the county princess' manor.
Feng Yu Heng and the matriarch were still waiting to exchange some pleasantries with Zhong Shuisheng. With the earlier commotion, they needed an explanation; however, they did not think that he would be sent away with just a few words by Feng Yu Heng. They could not help but feel a little unhappy. But in the end, he had come to protect Feng Yu Heng. Also, based on Feng Yu Heng's current situation, it would be best if they did not offend this girl.
Thus, under Feng Jin Yuan's call, the family returned to Peony courtyard.
Feng Yu Heng's performance at the banquet was something that Feng Jin Yuan had already told everyone in the manor. Now, not to mention the matriarch beginning to curry favor with Feng Yu Heng, even Han shi, who had always loved to cause trouble, did not make a move. She knew that Feng Yu Heng was currently the Emperor's favorite. If she wanted to go against her, then she would be going against the Emperor. She would not do something that would cause her to lose her head in the blink of an eye. Not only would she not offend Feng Yu Heng, she could not even be bothered with Chen Yu's matters. At this very moment, Han shi only wanted to know one thing: "Husband, why did fourth young miss not come back with you?"
Feng Jin Yuan became even angrier when this was brought up. Fiercely glaring at Han shi, he said: "If the one in your belly is still an evil creature like that slut Fen Dai, it would be better to just kill it right now!"
Once these words were said, not to mention Han shi being unable to accept it, even An shi furrowed her brow.
As a father, she had cursed her own unborn child. What exactly had fourth young miss done?
But Feng Jin Yuan was clearly not in the mood to bring up Fen Dai. Instead, he anxiously asked about Feng Yu Heng: "What exactly was the reason for your eldest sister being punished?"
Feng Yu Heng shrugged: "Eldest sister stabbed a doll to curse imperial concubine Xian, and it was discovered by his Highness the eldest prince."
"What?" Everyone was shocked once more. Had Feng Chen Yu gone crazy?
The matriarch originally did not have much hope for Chen Yu, but cursing imperial concubine Xian was a big matter. She was worried that this sort of thing would affect the Feng family. Thus she also asked: "Then did imperial concubine Xian say anything other than punishment?"
Feng Yu Heng asked back: "Based on imperial concubine Xian's position in the palace, does grandmother feel that this matter can be resolved with just punishment?"
Everyone fell silent.
"But don't worry." She continued: "Granddaughter has already pleaded for leniency on behalf of the Feng family. Imperial concubine Xian is willing to forgive eldest sister this time, but …" She glanced at Feng Jin Yuan, "But the one that can truly affect the future and fate of the Feng family has never been a girl. Father is the true sky of the Feng family, don't you think so?"
Feng Jin Yuan's expression sank slightly, as he pondered for a long time. Finally, he made a decision and said to the matriarch: "After the 15th, son will have someone send Chen Yu to a nunnery outside the capital."
The matriarch nodded, "That's also good. Leaving this sort of daughter in the family is also a disaster."
These two sentences determined Chen Yu's fate. Although Chen Yu was not very popular in the manor, today was still the first day of the new year. Discussing this sort of thing on the first day of the new year was a taboo. But when they thought of Chen Yu's earlier crazed appearance at the manor's entrance and how she had shouted about dying or not dying, leaving this sort of crazy person at home would cause the manor to become restless.
In regards to Chen Yu's departure, the others did not have much of an opinion. Only Han shi trembled slightly. She had just seen that when Fen Dai was mentioned, the anger on Feng Jin Yuan's face was not much better than when Chen Yu was mentioned. Now that Chen Yu had been sent to a nunnery, what about Fen Dai?
She suddenly had a thought. Fen Dai had not returned, then … she should not have already been sent, right?
"Husband." Feeling shocked, she did not have time to worry about being scolded. With a sobbing tone, she asked Feng Jin Yuan: "Where exactly did you send Fen Dai? Fen Dai definitely would not do something like curse imperial concubine! "
"Enough!" The matriarch hated hearing Han shi speak the most. Even if she was pregnant with the Feng family's child, she did not like hearing it. "Chen Yu will only be sent away after the new year. What can Jin Yuan think of Fen Dai! Taking care of your own belly is more important than anything else. If this daughter is not of any use, in any case, you can still give birth to another one to take care of you! "
These words were already extremely harsh. Han shi was only able to speak halfway before holding back her sobs. Holding her belly with both hands, she silently cried.
Feng Jin Yuan looked at her and could not help but feel irritated. Looking again at Jin Zhen, although she was the youngest and most beautiful, she was still a maidservant. She was alright at taking care of people, but when it came to chatting, she was completely out of place. As for An shi, she always had an indifferent expression. When she saw him, she did not even show a smile. His concubines were truly becoming more and more unlikeable. In such a large Feng manor, he was actually unable to find a single person that he could confide in. Feng Jin Yuan could not help but feel a little sad.
The atmosphere in the room became heavy. Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch did not speak, and the people below did not want to speak. Just as everyone was thinking about who would break this deadlock, they heard Feng Zirui, who had been sitting next to Feng Yu Heng, suddenly speak: "When father brought Zirui back, didn't he say that there would be an important guest coming to the manor today? Where is the important guest from? "
The matriarch was startled, "An important guest?"
Feng Jin Yuan gently coughed a couple times before saying: "It's like this. This year, the special envoy from Qian Zhou is eldest princess Kang Yi and young princess Ru Jia. I am preparing to host a banquet at the Feng manor tomorrow and invite the two princesses to the manor for a gathering."
"This …" The matriarch was a little dazed, "A princess from Qian Zhou?"
Feng Jin Yuan nodded, "That's right."
Han shi quickly said: "What is she coming to our manor for?"
The matriarch suddenly slammed her cane on the ground: "You're just a concubine. Where is there any need for you to speak about which guest comes to the manor? Being able to receive an envoy is my Feng family's fortune. I will personally oversee the banquet tomorrow! "
That night, Feng Jin Yuan did not go to any of the concubines' rooms. For some reason, he suddenly lost interest in doting on these concubines. Even if Jin Zhen had Man Xi invite him three times, he did not have the slightest intention of moving.
He continued to pace around the study until late at night. Finally, he heard a slight movement behind him, as a hidden guard appeared in front of him.
He turned around and asked: "Did you find out anything?"
The hidden guard nodded: "Replying to master, aside from the 100 Imperial Guards, second young miss' Tong Sheng pavilion also has many hidden guards. Among them, the Emperor sent six, His Ninth Highness sent nine, and his Highness the seventh prince sent five."
Feng Jin Yuan inhaled sharply. Even when protecting the Empress, there was no need to go to such lengths!
"Also." The hidden guard continued, "His Highness the third prince sent a letter." He handed over a letter.
Feng Jin Yuan quickly received it. Opening it, he could not help but be shocked. Xuan Tian Ye actually wanted him to steal the method for producing steel?
