Kang Yi, who was at his side, was a little shocked. She had heard that the Feng family's second young miss was a fierce character; however, she never thought that she would be fierce enough to force Feng Jin Yuan to this degree.
"Father, listen well. If someone wants to kill Heng, Heng does not need to rely on the family to take action. She can get revenge on her own. But if someone dares to hurt Zirui, even if they are the emperor, the Feng family must take action to remove their head. This is your basic conscience as a father. To allow someone to kill your own child and ignore it for the sake of your own benefits, that is something that not even a tiger, wolf, pig, or dog can do. Father, please reconsider. "
Feng Jin Yuan was both angry and afraid. Feng Yu Heng was openly saying that he was worse than a pig, but how could he argue? If he argued, he would have to completely crush the Chen family. Or if he did not argue, that would be admitting that he did not even have the heart to stand up for his own son. He truly was worse than a pig or a dog.
In an instant, two drops of sweat appeared on Feng Jin Yuan's forehead.
But at this time, he suddenly felt his arm tighten, as a soft hand grabbed him with a bit of gentleness and determination.
He turned his head to look and found that it was Kang Yi.
"Protecting one's children is a person's nature. As a parent, when one's children encounter danger, even if we are like moths to a flame, we must save our children from danger. Moreover, it's just a lowly relative. Lord Feng, "She slightly shook her head and said one word at a time:" I'm not afraid. "
With the words "I'm not afraid," it was as though Feng Jin Yuan had received a promise, as a bit of hope suddenly appeared in his heart.
The Chen family, the family that he hated but found it difficult to completely cut off, had now become insignificant compared to Kang Yi's promise.
He nodded and said: "You are correct." He then turned to Feng Yu Heng and straightened his back, speaking with more confidence- "As a parent, protecting one's children is a person's nature. Regardless of whether it's you or Zirui, if anyone dares to harm you, they will be my enemy. "
Feng Yu Heng looked at this father that seemed to have been fed chicken blood by Kang Yi and suddenly realized that Kang Yi might be even harder to deal with than she had imagined. A woman that could help her younger brother ascend to the throne, who knew what sort of bloody storm she would cause for the Feng family.
"Alright." She stared at Feng Jin Yuan and fiercely said: "I hope that father will remember what you said today. In the future, if the children of the Feng family are harmed again, I hope that father will do as you said and seek justice for us."
"Of course." Feng Jin Yuan was no longer afraid, but he did not want to look at Chen Yu. He only asked Xu Jing Yuan: "Lord Xu, this prime minister definitely will not tolerate those that harm my Feng family's children! Regardless of whether you are related to him or not, Lord Xu, please do your job properly! He will be severely punished! "
Xu Jing Yuan nodded, "Sure enough, Prime minister Feng abhors evil. To be able to become a child of the Feng family, you really are fortunate!" These words were truly a slap to the face, and Feng Jin Yuan felt a little guilty; however, he heard Xu Jing Yuan continue: "Because this case involves a standard first rank official and county princess Ji An, this lowly official absolutely did not dare neglect it. Once it was investigated, I immediately went into the palace to report to his Majesty. Just last night, His Majesty issued an order for the Chen family to be arrested and executed. From today onwards, the nine generations of the Chen family are wanted criminals in Dashun. "
"What did you say?" Chen Yu was finally unable to endure. Taking a step forward, she grabbed Xu Jing Yuan's arm: "Say it again. What does His Majesty want to do to the Chen family?"
Feng Jin Yuan angry- "Impudent! What sort of scandal is this. Why have you not removed your hand! "
Chen Yu was startled and subconsciously moved her hand away; however, she still anxiously asked: "Quickly speak. What happened to the Chen family?"
Xu Jing Yuan's expression remained the same, as he clearly repeated it to her: "His Majesty has ordered that the Chen family harmed county princess Ji An and harmed his Majesty's junior brother. For harming the eldest daughter of the prime minister, the family will be searched and the nine generations will be exterminated."
Thump!
Chen Yu immediately fell to the ground.
The nine generations will be exterminated! At this moment, what she was thinking was, did she count as part of the nine generations?
Feng Yu Heng understood Chen Yu too well. Looking at her horrified expression, how could it be pity for the Chen family. It was clear that she was calculating whether or not anything would happen to her. Thus she spoke up and coldly said: "Eldest sister, don't worry. You are part of the Feng family's genealogy. You are not related to the Chen family in the slightest."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu clearly let out a sigh of relief. Only then did she begin to cry about the Chen family.
Seeing her sit on the ground and cry, Xu Jing Yuan was very puzzled, "Eldest young miss Feng, please forgive this lowly one for saying something that should not have been said. Even if the Chen family is related to you, since they have already decided to kill you, there is no need for eldest young miss to worry about this relationship. His Majesty also said that once the Chen family's people are found, there is no need to bring them into the capital. They can be executed on the spot. They just need to bring their heads to the capital. "
Feng Jin Yuan was extremely shocked. The Emperor was actually this angry. This …
He turned to look at Feng Yu Heng and immediately understood. This was to protect Feng Yu Heng. Although the Chen family had tried many times to get rid of Feng Yu Heng, they had never succeeded. To the imperial family, however, they were still a scourge. The current Feng Yu Heng could be said to be a national treasure. Whoever made things difficult for her would be making things difficult for all of Dashun. At this sort of time, he had to stand firm. Regardless of whether or not he had Kang Yi's support, he could no longer protect the Chen family.
Thinking of this point, Feng Jin Yuan immediately made his position clear: "Your Majesty is wise! The Chen family should be executed! "
When Xu Jing Yuan left, he was personally sent out by Feng Yu Heng. As a high ranking official, it was not appropriate for Feng Jin Yuan to send him off, and there was even less reason for Kang Yi to send him off. The matriarch was an elder, so only Feng Yu Heng was suitable.
The two arrived in front of the manor's entrance, and Xu Jing Yuan received the horsewhip from a servant. He was in no rush to mount his horse. Instead, he turned around and saluted to Feng Yu Heng: "This Xu was able to have this day thanks to county princess and his Highness the seventh prince's support. Would county princess please be at ease. This Xu will definitely do his best to protect the safety of the citizens of the capital. I will also protect county princess' safety."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Many thanks, lord Xu. The Chen family's matters will require lord Xu to pay a bit more attention. Not to mention others, but old third Chen's head, Chen Wan Liang's head, is something this county princess must have." As she spoke, she pulled out a small banknote from her sleeve and handed it over, "Lord Xu, do your best. His Highness the seventh prince and His Ninth Highness definitely will not forget about you."
Xu Jing Yuan did not hold back and received the banknote, saying: "It's the new year. This Xu thanks county princess for the new year's gift. It's very cold outside. County princess should quickly go back. This Xu will definitely keep a close eye on the situation over there. "After he finished speaking, he mounted his horse and left.
When Feng Yu Heng returned, the members of the Feng family had already returned to the parlor. Chen Yu was supported by someone to sit at Kang Yi's side. Ru Jia stood to the side and said with some irritation: "You treat them as your uncles, but they want to kill you. Tell me, who are you crying for? "
Kang Yi scolded her: "Shut your mouth."
"I did not say anything wrong." Ru Jia lost it, "If it's my uncle emperor who wants to kill me, then he deserves to die. Ru Jia will not cry for him! Anyone that wants to kill me is not a good person! "
Clap, clap, clap! With three claps, Feng Yu Heng walked inside and said: "Princess Ru Jia's true nature is admirable."
She was sincerely praising Ru Jia. Although these words sounded a bit willful, they were reasonable. A person's life was more important than the heavens. There was nobody that had the right to take another person's life. Those that dared to harm themselves and their loved ones were not just bad people. They should be put to death.
There was nobody that disagreed with what the two said. The Feng family already hated the Chen family to the bone. It was just that the Chen family had found Feng Jin Yuan's weakness in the past. Whenever it reached a critical moment, they would throw money at him with a "bang." Every single time, they would hit their mark.
But now, Feng Jin Yuan seemed to be hoping to find an even greater backer. In front of an even greater backer, the Chen family had already become an abandoned child. That was why he expressed his approval of Ru Jia's words. He also said to Chen Yu: "Remember, you are the Feng family's daughter. From this day forward, the Feng family will no longer have any relationship with the Chen family."
Chen Yu did not respond. She did not shake her head or nod, as she continued to cry.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "It seems that eldest sister has taken after father's personality. You are extremely loyal. But eldest sister, please remember, you are the daughter of a concubine. The Chen Family is the Feng family's concubines. The family of a concubine cannot even be considered a relative. You are currently grieving for the Chen family, but do you want to give up your status as the Feng family's daughter of a concubine and go to the Chen family's suffering? This suffering is the extermination of your family. You must think this through carefully. "
Feng Chen Yu gasped for air but did not understand. She ended up being stuck there. The words extermination of her family caused her face to turn pale. The tears that had welled up in her eyes were forced back by her gritting her teeth.
Right, she could not cry. The Chen family was already on a dead end. At this sort of time, she definitely could not have any relationship with the Chen family.
After thinking it through, she immediately stopped crying and quickly said to Feng Jin Yuan: "Just now, the wound on daughter's head hurt again. It was because of the pain that I cried. It has nothing to do with the Chen family." Thinking a bit more, she unexpectedly cut off all means of retreat and added: "Daughter knows where the Chen family's third master is hiding. After the family banquet, daughter will personally make a trip to the yamen and truthfully report to the governor. It can also be considered as … my Feng family's attitude."
Feng Jin Yuan heard this and nodded repeatedly. Even the matriarch could not help but praise her: "Now that is considered sensible."
Seeing that Chen Yu had stopped crying, Feng Jin Yuan quickly arranged for everyone to continue eating. With two incidents occurring in a row, aside from Feng Yu Heng, who did not care about anything else and ate some of the food, everyone else had not even touched their chopsticks.
The matriarch was a little embarrassed, "The food has already gotten cold. Tell the kitchen to make it again!"
Feng Jin Yuan nodded and was about to order the servants to make it again, but Kang Yi stopped him: "No need. Qian Zhou is many times colder than Dashun. After eating three or four bites, the food will get cold. We have already become accustomed to it. There is no need to trouble the servants. First, it is not easy for everyone. Second, it is truly too wasteful. The Feng manor is large and prosperous. Although we do not care about the food on the table, being thrifty is something that must be done with small things. Otherwise, no matter how large the family's wealth is, there will come a day when it will run out. "
The more the matriarch listened, the more she felt that the eldest princess of Qian Zhou was truly too well educated. Her words were generous and appropriate, and she was so understanding. She was also modest. Why was it that she could not find a single flaw?
As for Feng Jin Yuan, he did not listen to any of this. His thoughts were completely focused on the hand that Kang Yi had placed on his arm. Although there was a thick layer of winter clothes, he could still feel the warmth from Kang Yi's fingertips. He felt his heart begin to beat violently. This sort of feeling, regardless of whether it was when he married Yao shi, the Shen Clan, An shi, Han shi or Jin Zhen, had never appeared.
In this life, Feng Jin Yuan had had two wives. One was Yao and one was Shen; however, one was for power and one was for wealth. The concubines were all for sex. Now, Kang Yi, who was at the peak of power, wealth, and sex, had suddenly appeared before him. That heart that had never truly moved was suddenly revived …
