The matriarch finally calmed down a little and took the initiative to ease the tension with Feng Yu Heng: "Heng Heng, please go back to Willow courtyard for now. Later on, when the moon gate has been opened, see if there is anything missing. Tell grandmother and grandmother will add it all for you."
Feng Yu Heng smiled, "Thank you grandmother. His Highness Prince Yu sent quite a few decorations, so there is most likely not much missing. We just need some people to help set them up. "
"Then that's easy to handle." The matriarch laughed. That's right! This was more like a normal conversation. Having a request was good. She was just worried that Feng Yu Heng would not use anything, leaving her anxious and unable to do anything. "Granny Zhao has already contacted the servants. You can choose as many people as you want." Thinking a little more, she added: "These servants that were bought from outside will be managed by you alone. Their contracts need not be handed over to the manor. You can just keep them. As for the monthly stipend, it will be covered by the manor. "
Upon hearing this, the Shen Clan could not accept it and began to shout: "How could that be allowed! All of the servants in our Feng manor must have their contracts kept with the manor. If this was opened and others copied it, wouldn't the manor fall into chaos? "
Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch both glared at the Shen Clan. Chen Yu saw this and quickly picked up the job of smoothing things over: "Mother, don't worry. Chen Yu guarantees that I will not privately add any servants."
An shi and Han shi also brought Xiang Rong and Fen Dai along, saying: "This concubine also will not."
Feng Jin Yuan snorted coldly and asked the Shen Clan: "Do you have anything else to say?"
The Shen Clan's arm hurt from being pinched by Chen Yu, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.
Feng Jin Yuan saw that she had finally calmed down and let out a long sigh: "Since there are no objections, then let's do it like this! After being busy for an entire morning, everyone must be tired. You may all disperse. "
Everyone saluted and left. Before Feng Yu Heng left, she glanced at the matriarch and pondered a little before saying: "Grandmother's waist problem, there is no harm in trying the method that Heng Heng mentioned earlier."
The old lady immediately beamed with joy. "Good granddaughter, don't worry. Grandmother remembers everything you said."
Feng Yu Heng bowed again and took the two servant girls back to Willow Courtyard.
The old lady felt much better as she watched her leave. That girl was concerned about her, right? If that was the case, was he willing to accept her goodwill?
Unfortunately, Feng Yu Heng didn't think so. In her eyes, everyone in this manor needed to be taught a lesson, but she was just one person in the end. She still needed to take care of Yao shi and Zirui. Dealing with too many people at once was not a wise move. It would be better to pull in a few fence-sitters who would fall at the first sign of trouble. Once she had suppressed the stubborn ones, she would turn around and slowly gather them.
On the way back to the Willow Courtyard, Feng Yu Heng asked for the names of the two maidservants. They were very special. One was called Huang Quan, and the other was called Wang Chuan. Huang Quan was a bit more lively, while Wang Chuan's personality was a bit more cold.
Huang Quan took the initiative to report to Feng Yu Heng the reason they had been sent here: "His Highness said that the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo is not much cleaner than a bandit's nest. Although Lord Feng was successful in his studies, most of his family members are not educated. Moreover, Lord Feng's studies have not reached the right level. He can't even be a good father. I don't understand how he can be the country's Prime Minister. That's why his Highness wanted me and Wang Chuan to come and protect princess. We can't let anything happen to princess, and we can't let anyone bully princess in the Feng manor. "
Wang Chuan saw that Huang Quan seemed to have finished speaking, so she calmly added: "His Highness also said that once princess turns 15, we will immediately get married."
Feng Yu Heng's forehead began to sweat. Getting married at the age of 15, why are you ancient people in such a rush!
Thinking about that person again, she found that she was also feeling a bit of anticipation.
Calming herself down, she asked Huang Quan and Wang Chuan next to her: "I see that your steps are light and even. You don't seem like normal girls. Have you trained?"
Huang Quan admitted with a smile: "My swordsmanship is the best. Wang Chuan's qinggong is the best. His Highness said that we should take care of princess while protecting princess. "
Feng Yu Heng felt that she was a bit too lively, "How can you keep saying princess. I still haven't married your Highness."
"It'll happen sooner or later!"
Huang Quan had an indifferent expression, but Wang Chuan was more thoughtful than her, "Huang Quan, you must remember that this is the Feng manor. No matter where Lord Feng's studies have gone, we cannot break the rules. Here, you must call her second young miss. "
Huang Quan nodded, "Alright, then we will give the Feng family some face."
Feng Yu Heng secretly laughed to herself. It seemed that Feng Jin Yuan was not very well-liked. At the very least, that person did not place him in their eyes. Otherwise, there would not have been such a grand scene, and even more so, there would not have been such an evaluation of Feng Jin Yuan by her servant.
"Wang Chuan, you will follow me in the future." She had no intention of correcting the two's disrespect of Feng Jin Yuan. She also trusted that the servant sent by that person would know her limits. These words would only be said in front of her. She definitely would not cause any trouble.
"Then what about me?" Huang Quan was dazed, "Princess … no, second young miss, do you not want me?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "Of course I want you, but you have a more important mission than following me."
Huang Quan could not understand, "What could be more important than taking care of second young miss?"
Feng Yu Heng told her: "Go take care of and protect my mother and younger brother."
Huang Quan nodded. She understood. Long before His Highness Prince Yu gave them this assignment, Bai Ze personally told them everything about the Feng manor and the Feng family's second young miss.
Of course, the so-called everything was normal. It did not include their chance encounter in the mountains of the Northwest. But he did talk about His Highness Prince Yu's analysis of the Feng family's second young miss' personality.
So Huang Quan and Wang Chuan both understood. After being abandoned for three years, if there was anyone in this world that the Feng family's second young miss cared about, it would be her mother and younger brother who suffered with her in the mountain village.
"Young miss, do not worry. I will definitely protect madam and young master." Huang Quan removed her smile and put on a serious expression.
Feng Yu Heng secretly nodded. She thought that the servant sent by that person was indeed reliable.
The road back to Willow courtyard was very long. Along the way, the three had questions and answers. It seemed like they were chatting happily, but Huang Quan and Wang Chuan's vigilant eyes never left Man Xi, who was following them from a distance.
Feng Yu Heng had noticed this a long time ago. At the same time, she also noticed that she was satisfied. In the beginning, that servant had walked with them. Later on, she and Huang Quan and Wang Chuan began to talk about the Imperial Palace Yu. Man Xi consciously slowed down her pace and only followed from a distance. She maintained a distance that she could see but could not hear.
She approved of Man Xi even more in her heart. Such a discerning girl, if she could keep her for her own use, she would be a rare talent.
When the group returned to Willow courtyard, Yao shi had already brought Zirui and was waiting at the entrance. Seeing them return, Zirui was the first to run over and jump into Feng Yu Heng's embrace, "Elder sister, elder sister, why did you only come back now? Who are those people outside? I wanted to go take a look, but granny Sun wouldn't let me. "
She rubbed Zirui's head and told him: "It's a very famous person. The family's elders came to our home as guests. Elder sister and the elders are all in the courtyard to welcome them."
"Then why can't I go?" The child lowered his head and looked at his clothes: "Is it because these clothes are too old and will lose face for the family? It's fine. Isn't there a new set? I can wear it. Zirui doesn't mind the collar being too sharp. "
Speaking of clothes, Feng Yu Heng thought of something and turned her head to order: "Granny Li, the elder madam said this morning that she would arrange for people to go to a ready-made clothing store to buy some ready-made clothes for us. Go ask when they will be ready."
Granny Li did not say another word. She complied and trotted the entire way to Shu Ya courtyard.
What a joke! The news of the Feng family's second young miss turning over a new leaf had already been spread throughout the entire Feng manor by servants who were quick to speak. Although they were a bit far, they could still hear a bit of the news. His Highness Prince Yu had sent Lady Zhou to support Feng Yu Heng. She was just an old granny. How much courage did she have to go against the Imperial Palace Yu?
With granny Li leaving, Bao Tang became a bit embarrassed. She could see that Man Xi's attitude towards Feng Yuheng had changed a bit, just like granny Li, but after all, she did not personally see what happened in the front yard, and she was not as experienced as granny Li in handling things. So when Huang Quan and Wang Chuan bowed to Yao shi and said, "Servants Huang Quan and Wang Chuan greet madam," they subconsciously said: "Are you new? You don't understand the rules at all. Our Feng manor's madam lives in Jin Yu courtyard. This is only a concubine mother. "
Wang Chuan expressionlessly glanced at Bao Tang. With just one glance, it was as if a cold light had shot out. Bao Tang suddenly shrunk back and heard Wang Chuan say: "Our rules were taught by the Imperial Palace Yu. If you have any objections, I can take you to the Imperial Palace Yu to argue."
How could Bao Tang have that ability. She lowered her head and did not say anything else.
Granny Sun saw the two new servants treat Yao shi so politely and was very happy. Pulling on Huang Quan and Wang Chuan, she repeatedly said: "In the future, we will be on the same side. We will be on the same side."
In Willow courtyard, the masters and servants were exchanging greetings. Outside, housekeeper He Zhong directed a group of male servants to begin carrying the betrothal gifts sent by the Imperial Palace Yu into the courtyard.
Yao shi had previously only heard the gossipy servants talk about what had happened in the front yard. Now that she saw these chests of things, she finally realized that the marriage agreement from back then was now right in front of her eyes. But she did not feel happy because of these good things. Instead, she felt gloomy. Even Feng Zirui's joy was unable to affect her.
Seeing Huang Quan and Wang Chuan help direct the male servants to move the things, Yao shi pulled Feng Yu Heng a few steps to the side and quietly said: "I heard the gossipy servants say that the Ninth Prince's face and legs are both injured. They said that there is no hope for him to have an heir. This matter … do you want to think about it? "
Feng Yu Heng laughed, "Mother, what do you want me to think about?" She gently patted Yao shi's arm and comforted her: "Not to mention that our position in the Feng manor is not as good as it was in the past. Even in the past, when you were still the head of the household and I was still the daughter of the first wife, wanting to cancel an engagement with a prince was definitely impossible."
