She was originally a little dissatisfied with Feng Yu Heng sending ten servants to Jin Fu courtyard, but before she could think of how to express her dissatisfaction, Feng Yu Heng's sympathetic gaze caused her heart to tremble.
"Grandmother." Finally, Feng Yu Heng spoke, but it was only this sentence before she let out a sigh: "Hah!"
The matriarch could not endure, "What exactly is going on? Heng Heng, I see that your face is a little pale. Could it be that you did not rest well? "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head: "That's not it. Heng slept very well. It's just that I was given a fright yesterday, and my heart is trembling."
"Given a fright?" The matriarch thought quickly and recalled Kang Yi's fall. She quickly said: "That's right. Eldest princess suddenly fell. Even I was given a fright when I heard about it. Moreover, you personally saw it."
"Huh?" Feng Yu Heng was startled then said: "Eldest princess falling was indeed an accident, but granddaughter was given a fright by another matter."
The matriarch was puzzled, "What other matter is there?"
Feng Yu Heng replied: "Yesterday, in front of Hundred Herb Hall, there was a crazy horse that charged straight at us. At that time, the situation was very dangerous. Father immediately grabbed hold of the two princesses, leaving only granddaughter to face the crazy horse. The horse's hooves were raised, but fortunately, the rider stopped. Only then was granddaughter able to avoid disaster. If that person had stopped the horse a little later, granddaughter … would have been trampled to death by the horse. "
"What?" The matriarch was extremely shocked, "There was such a thing?"
Kang Yi heard Feng Yu Heng's words and felt a little embarrassed. At that time, Feng Jin Yuan had indeed only protected her and Ru Jia. He did not pay any attention to Feng Yu Heng.
"Grandmother, there is no need to worry. Granddaughter is currently here and is fine. It's just that when I think about it, I feel some lingering fear. That horse's hooves were nearly touching granddaughter's nose. Granddaughter dying is a small matter, but if Dashun's production of steel was delayed, that would be a large matter. Grandmother, what do you say? "
When she mentioned this matter, the matriarch also felt that Feng Jin Yuan's actions were truly too excessive. Even if he did not save his own daughter, why did he not think about what sort of value this daughter currently had to Dashun?
"Hmph!" The old madam looked at Kang Yi and her expression wasn't too good. She then turned to Feng Yu Heng and said: "Your father is really muddle-headed. Grandmother will definitely help you get justice."
Feng Yu Heng hurriedly got up and bowed, "Heng Heng thanks Grandmother for your concern. Speaking of which, it was lucky that it was me yesterday. Heng Heng's body is more nimble, and I was able to dodge it. If it was Grandmother …" As she spoke, she looked at Feng Yu Heng with sympathy, "Grandmother raised Father. If Father didn't save you, how sad would you be?"
Only then did Old Madam Fu understand why Feng Yu Heng sympathized with her. That's right! If it was her, would Feng Jin Yuan save her?
Seeing that the matriarch's expression wasn't right, Kang Yi was slightly alarmed. She hurriedly said: "Yesterday's incident was sudden. This consort and Ru Jia happened to be at Feng daren's side, so we were taken care of. Feng daren has always cared for family. For example, when he got off the carriage yesterday, he was the first to help county princess."
"That's right." Feng Yu Heng faintly sighed, "When we got off the carriage, the road was truly too slippery. Father was already standing next to princess' carriage, but I was too scared, thus I told father that I was worried that the fall would affect the production of steel. Only then did I call father back." She said this while looking at the matriarch, "Grandmother, there is no need to worry too much. Thinking about it, the weight of a daughter and a mother are different in father's heart. If it was grandmother, father definitely would not have given you such a shock." After she finished speaking, she bowed to the matriarch, "Heng Heng has an appointment with his Highness Prince Yu and the fourth prince of Zong Sui, so I will be taking my leave first."
After she finished saluting, she turned and left without looking back.
Everyone in the room was thinking back to what Feng Yu Heng had just said. Chen Yu and Xiang Rong were still sitting to the side, and the two could not help but look towards Kang Yi. Their hearts were in turmoil, and they did not feel good.
After Feng Yu Heng went to the Imperial Palace Yu, she stayed inside until she finished eating lunch. When she came out again, she went into the palace with Xuan Tianming. The fourth prince of Zong Sui also returned to the posthouse in a good mood.
When Qian Zhou's spies brought this news to Kang Yi, Kang Yi once again deeply regretted that she had lost the chance to invite Li Kun to the Feng manor. Compared to Zong Sui, her Qian Zhou did not even have iron essence!
For the entire afternoon, Feng Yu Heng was in the imperial palace. Nobody knew what she and Xuan Tianming talked about with the Emperor. The members of the Feng family only saw piles and piles of things being carried into the manor by palace maids and eunuchs. A female official then told Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch: "His Majesty heard that county princess was given a fright yesterday and was very angry. These things were sent to help county princess get over her fright. Also, his Majesty said that he would ask Lord Feng to remember to explain when you go to court on the seventh. Why did you not save county princess at such a time of danger? "
After the female official finished speaking, she put down the things and left. The members of the Feng family looked at each other. The matriarch glanced at Feng Jin Yuan and fiercely slammed her cane into the ground. She did not say anything and allowed granny Zhao to help her back.
Kang Yi stood in place, her thoughts turning. She then looked at Feng Jin Yuan out of the corner of her eye and felt that a layer of regret had appeared on his face. Kang Yi's heart was slightly moved, and she could not help but go forward. With an ashamed expression, she said: "It was all Kang Yi that caused this trouble for Prime minister Feng. We should move back to the posthouse!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin Yuan immediately shook his head, "This matter is unrelated to you. It was this prime minister that did not think things through. At that time, I was only thinking that I absolutely could not allow the two princesses to get hurt. I forgot that she had the method for producing steel."
"But in the end, it was all Kang Yi's fault. Now that his Majesty has expressed his stance, how should Lord Feng respond?"
Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand, "It's fine. Eldest princess, please do not worry. This prime minister has his own plans for this matter. In truth … "He paused for a moment and lowered his voice a little; however, he did not lose his sincerity and said:" No matter what, if there is another time of danger, the one that Jin Yuan will save will still be you. "
Kang Yi's heart trembled, and her cheeks immediately turned red. Even Ru Jia became happy upon hearing this. Frankly, she hugged Feng Jin Yuan's arm and quietly said: "If father was still alive, he would also dote on Ru Jia like uncle Feng, right?"
Kang Yi could not help but frown. For some reason, Feng Jin Yuan raised his hand and gently patted her brow. Bit by bit, he smoothed out the wrinkles.
Feng Yu Heng returned to the Feng manor before dinner. Upon entering the manor, she headed straight for the front hall of Peony courtyard. He Zhong quickly followed behind her, saying: "Someone from the palace came this afternoon to deliver a number of things to second young miss. Master has already ordered for them to be sent to Tong Sheng pavilion."
"I know." She walked while saying: "I will go take a look at that jade turtle."
Upon hearing her say that she wanted to see the jade turtle, He Zhong quickly said: "It will be placed in the front hall of Peony courtyard. Second young miss will be able to see it when she goes in."
"Un." She waved her hand, "You can go take care of your own business. There is no need to follow me."
He Zhong left, and Feng Yu Heng brought Qing Yu into the front hall. Just as she stepped over the threshold, she saw Ru Jia standing in the front hall. Pointing at the jade turtle, she said to the servants: "This thing is too ugly to be placed here. Quickly move it away."
A servant awkwardly said: "Replying to princess, placing it here was second young miss' idea. Master also agreed."
"What second young miss. This princess is currently saying that this thing is ugly to be placed here, so you need to move it away! Do you hear me? What are you still standing there for? "
The Feng family's servants were very unified on this matter. They did not understand why Ru Jia would make such a big fuss, but not a single person would listen to her. Just as Ru Jia was about to begin cursing, a servant suddenly looked toward the door. She then bowed and said: "This servant greets second young miss."
Ru Jia was startled and turned around. She happened to see Feng Yu Heng bring her servant closer until they were three steps away from her.
Feng Yu Heng's face was so cold that it caused Ru Jia to tremble, but the words that came out of her mouth were even colder than her face: "Princess Ru Jia, is this your home or my home?"
Ru Jia angrily glared at her; however, she was also speechless.
Feng Yu Heng continued: "Tomorrow, this county princess will personally write a letter and have someone send it to Qian Zhou. It will say that the position of Emperor Qian's throne is not to my liking. Ask him to change it."
"Feng Yu Heng, is there something wrong with your head?" Ru Jia was on the verge of going crazy, "Aren't you overstepping your boundaries? How our Qian Zhou's throne is placed is none of your business? "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "It is none of this county princess' business. That's why, this princess, how our Feng family's things are placed is none of your business. Are you clear on your own status or not? "
"You …" Ru Jia pointed at her and was unable to say anything for a while.
But Qing Yu, who was at Feng Yu Heng's side, spoke up: "Princess, using a finger to point at another person is very rude. Could it be that Qian Zhou's imperial family did not even teach you this sort of thing?"
"What sort of thing are you?" Feng Yu Heng did not dare curse at her, but she did not hold back in the slightest when it came to Qing Yu, "Lowly person, what right do you have to speak up when your master is speaking?" As she said this, she wanted to copy what Feng Yu Heng had done to her servant and slap her twice, but just as she raised her hand, it was grabbed.
She then heard Feng Yu Heng say: "As long as you dare to slap me, this county princess will immediately go into the palace and report to father Emperor. I will say that Qian Zhou's special envoy has used force in the home of a Dashun official, intending to cause a conflict between the two countries."
Ru Jia was given a fright and immediately pulled her hand back. She could not understand, "How could a fight between two women in the inner courtyard become a conflict between two countries? Feng Yu Heng, stop trying to scare me! "
Feng Yu Heng, however, told her seriously: "If it was my sisters arguing with me, it would naturally be considered a fight between the inner courtyards, but you are Qian Zhou's princess. Think about your own status and think about the relationship between Dashun and Qian Zhou. If you want to be the master of my Feng family with this sort of status, this county princess does not mind being the master of your Qian Zhou. "
Ru Jia was angered to the point that she felt sullen, unreconciled and saying: "I am a guest. How can you speak to me like this?"
Feng Yu Heng laughed, "I have always hated beating around the bush. I do not have the time to play mind games with you. Normally speaking, if there is a grudge, I will take revenge on the spot. If I stay for one more day, I will not be able to sleep well." After saying this, she immediately ordered the servants in the room: "Keep an eye on the jade turtle. This is a treasure sent by the prince of Zong Sui to protect the residence. If someone dares to act rashly, that would be disrespecting Zong Sui. Think about Zong Sui's iron essence! I really do not understand why some people feel that Dashun has new steel and they do not need to fear Zong Sui's iron essence. The new steel belongs to Dashun. What does it have to do with anyone else? "
She spat out these words and turned to leave. Ru Jia remained in place and felt as though she had been doused with a bucket of ice water. A chill ran from head to toe, freezing her completely.
A servant asked her: "Does princess have any other orders?"
She did not say anything else and ran towards Jin Fu courtyard. She needed to ask her mother whether or not she could still stay in this Feng manor.
But just as she returned to Jin Fu courtyard, she found that there were four male servants standing at the entrance. Two of them stood on each side, completely blocking off the moon gate … …
