Once the granny said "but," Xuan Tian Ye knew that there would be a change in the situation. He subconsciously turned his head and glared in the direction of Feng Yu Heng; however, he was met with Xuan Tianming's gloomy gaze from behind his golden mask. He also said: "Who are you glaring at?"
Both of them had sat in wheelchairs before, but when the Ninth Prince had sat in a wheelchair, he still had that willful personality. Although he sat in a wheelchair, he was still as arrogant as before.
Now, it was the third prince who sat in a wheelchair. This person originally had an angry appearance, and his entire body was shrouded in an aura of anger. Normal people would feel pressured if they got within three feet of him. But now that he sat in a wheelchair, that aura had been reduced by more than half. He was no longer as spirited as before, and his back was no longer as straight. Even the words that came out of his mouth were no longer as grand as before. Now that he had been provoked by Xuan Tianming, he could only have a gloomy expression. He dared to be angry, but he did not dare speak.
But in the end, he still had a helper. Duan Mu Qing stood at his side, and his eyes were practically spitting fire. His teeth were also gritted so hard that they creaked. In regards to this wedding, he had thought of all sorts of problems; however, he never thought that they would be caused by the bride.
Duan Mu Qing reached out and pressed down on Xuan Tian Ye's shoulder. Using a bit of force, he gestured for him to not get angry. He then calmed himself down and finally asked the granny: "With things as they are, there is no need to hide it. Granny, tell me, what exactly is going on with the Feng family's eldest young miss?"
These words were what everyone was thinking. The granny glanced at Feng Chen Yu with a look of doubt and disdain. In the end, she sighed and shook her head, saying: "Eldest young miss Feng has already married into the Xiang Palace. This matter concerns his Highness the third prince's reputation. It would be better if this old servant reported it privately to his Highness the third prince!"
Duan Mu Qing's nose became crooked from anger. With so many people watching and listening attentively, reputation had already been lost. What was the point of talking about private matters? He waved his hand: "Although the bride has been brought in, the ceremony has not yet been performed. This marriage does not count."
"Vice Commander, what do you mean?" Suddenly, Feng Yu Heng spoke. She put down her teacup and looked at Duanmu Qing. She was still leaning back in her chair, looking a little lazy, but her gaze was incomparably sharp. She said, "His Highness the Third Prince is taking in a side consort, so there shouldn't be these complicated formalities. The ceremony of bowing to the Heavens and Earth is something that only happens when he marries his First Consort. Princess Xiang had a good heart and wanted to leave a good memory for Eldest Young Miss Feng. That was why she allowed the three bows. But this is just an additional formality. According to Dashun's laws, as long as a secondary consort is carried into the house, the marriage is considered complete. " After she finished speaking, she looked around the wedding hall. Her meaning was very obvious. She was asking everyone present, "Do you think what I said is right?"
Other than the princes, the people present were all officials of the second rank and above. After Feng Yu Heng's victory, who wouldn't give her face? Who would dare not give her face? Even the fourth prince nodded obediently. The second prince, Xuan Tian Ling, then said: "County princess is correct. According to Dashun's laws, this marriage has already been completed. Now," He pointed at Feng Chen Yu, "She should no longer be called Eldest Young Miss Feng. Instead, she should be called side consort."
Today, the eldest prince had not come, so the second prince was naturally the one with the most authority. Once he said this, everyone agreed: "That's right. She should be Prince Xiang's side consort."
Duanmu Qing fiercely gritted his teeth. It seemed that this debt could not be settled.
Xuan Tian Ye snorted coldly, gesturing for Duanmu Qing to not say anything else. He only said to the granny: "What exactly happened? Speak!"
The granny also felt that after all of this, this was the best opportunity, thus she let out a long sigh and deliberately raised her voice, saying to Xuan Tian Ye: "Reporting to your Highness the Third Prince, the side consort Feng shi has been inspected and found to be flawless, but there are two tattoos on the left and right side of the jade door."
"What?" Xuan Tian Ye was extremely shocked. The number one beauty in the capital and the eldest daughter of prime minister Feng Jin Yuan, Feng Chen Yu, actually had tattoos on such a private place?
He was not the only one that was shocked. Everyone present was shocked, as they all looked towards Feng Chen Yu's beautiful face. Nobody could understand. Why would a girl with such a beauty that could cause the downfall of a country have tattoos on her?
That's right, she had been tattooed by someone. Not to mention whether or not Feng Chen Yu knew how to tattoo her own body, but the place that had been tattooed was something that she could not do even if she wanted to! For a girl to have a tattoo in that sort of place, even if she was flawless, what use was there? But there were also some that believed that eldest young miss Feng wanted to be unique and beautiful, so she had hired a female tattoo artist to tattoo her. Like that, it was not something that could not be seen.
Thus someone asked: "Are there any female tattoo artists?"
The second prince, Xuan Tian Ling, picked up on the topic: "Tattooing was never a popular skill. The number of people in Dashun that know how to tattoo are few and far between. I have never heard of a girl specializing in this sort of thing.
Feng Chen Yu herself was dazed. How could she possibly have a tattoo in that sort of place? In an instant, the strange expression of the nanny that the Shen family had found when she had examined her body in private surfaced in her mind. At that time, she had been in a rush and only asked if she was flawless before hurriedly silencing her; however, she did not know that that person had already seen through the clues, but she did not have a chance to say anything.
"What are the words tattooed on it?" The second prince asked about the most important point.
The granny's face sank, as she loudly said: "Secondary princess Feng shi, jade door conferred imperial concubine. There are four words tattooed on each side. They are respectively mending and promiscuity."
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Feng Chen Yu's mind exploded with a "boom" sound. Her first thought was: She had been tricked by Feng Yu Heng.
She suddenly turned her head and glared coldly at Feng Yu Heng. Like a vicious wolf, she hated that she could not immediately pounce on her and tear her to shreds. But in the end, she still had some reason. Feng Chen Yu knew that even if she pounced on her, the one to be broken would definitely not be Feng Yu Heng. Instead, it would be her.
Her hands continued to tightly grip Xuan Tian Ye's robes. Her entire body trembled with anger, as a boundless fear began to spread from the bottom of her heart. She knew that this time, she feared that she would not be able to escape.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a pain in her chest. Immediately following this, she was sent flying out of the wedding hall. Not long later, she landed with a "bang." The fall caused her to open her mouth and cough up a large mouthful of blood.
Chen Yu had nearly fainted from the fall, but she was only a tiny bit away from being able to remain conscious. But Feng Chen Yu would rather have fainted. Like this, she would not have to face what would happen next. She knew that this kick was from Duan Mu Qing, but Duan Mu Qing represented the Xiang Palace. Especially when she did her best to raise her head to look at Xuan Tian Ye, she saw only disgust and disgust on his face.
She was afraid. Enduring the pain on her body, she desperately crawled into the wedding hall. While crawling, she said: "Your Highness the third prince, please believe me. Chen Yu is innocent."
Unfortunately, her words of innocence sounded like a great insult to the ears of others. Xuan Tian Ye even turned his head away. If it was not for the heavy injuries on his body, he would definitely have personally kicked her.
Chen Yu finally managed to crawl to the entrance of the wedding hall, but she could not climb over the threshold. She did not have any strength left. Who knew how much strength Duan Mu Qing had put into that kick, but she coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her body felt very weak.
Originally, it was a joyous occasion; however, who knew that it would suddenly become a great humiliation for the Xiang Palace. The news of Feng Chen Yu's jade door being sealed was originally something that only the people inside the wedding hall had heard about. At most, the people standing not far from the entrance would know a little bit about it. But for some reason, as word spread from mouth to mouth, this news quickly spread from inside the wedding hall. From the wedding hall to the courtyard, it passed through the banquet and finally reached the entrance of the palace before stopping.
Everyone began to discuss this. Those that had been envious of the third prince marrying the most beautiful woman in the capital now began to rejoice that such a thing had not happened to them. Otherwise, they really would have no place to put their old face.
Seeing that the rumors had spread everywhere, it was not enough for people to spread them one by one. It actually continued to evolve, becoming more and more filthy and outrageous. Princess Xiang was the first to become angry. With a heavy expression, she pointed at Feng Chen Yu and said: "You slut, ruining my Xiang Palace's reputation. You truly wasted my good intentions in preparing this wedding for you."
The third prince, Xuan Tian Yi, coldly snorted from the side, saying: "The daughter of a concubine is the daughter of a concubine. The secondary princess is the secondary princess. Third sister-in-law really did something unnecessary."
Sitting in a wheelchair, if Xuan Tian Ye still did not understand what was going on, then he would be too stupid. He had already determined that this was something that his official princess and Feng Yu Heng had discussed ahead of time. They had deliberately attracted so many people to come and watch the wedding, allowing this scene to be revealed to the world.
But he coldly stared at Feng Chen Yu. If this slut was not so shameless, she would not have been able to put on such a show. The jade door had been sealed with such words. If he still believed that she was an innocent person, would he not be an idiot?
With things as they were, there was no need for him to hide it. This matter could not be handled by the Xiang Palace alone. The Feng family also needed to stand up and provide him with an explanation.
Xuan Tian Ye gritted his teeth and quietly said: "Servant, go invite Prime minister Feng over!"
At this time in the Feng manor, everyone was gathered in Peony courtyard's main hall. Even the pregnant Han shi was present. Although there were many people, nobody spoke. All of them had calm expressions, as they all thought about their own things.
At this time, a servant ran in and bowed to the matriarch, saying: "News came from the Xiang Palace. It said that his Highness Prince Xiang has placed great importance on eldest young miss marrying into the family. Princess Xiang is also cooperating. Currently, the Xiang Palace is holding a banquet for guests. Apparently, all of the princes have arrived. With gongs and drums, it is very lively. Princess Xiang has also arranged for three bows. Although eldest young miss is the daughter of a concubine, marrying into the family will still give off the feeling of a grand wedding. "
Once this was said, the matriarch immediately let out a sigh of relief, and her expression relaxed slightly. "Good, as long as they place importance on it, that's good. Although she is just a secondary princess, she cannot be too sullen. Our manor needs to maintain some face."
The matriarch's thoughts were clear, but Feng Jin Yuan did not relax in the slightest. In fact, he became even more worried than before.
Back when Feng Yu Heng had whipped Xuan Tian Ye, he had personally seen it. Princess Xiang hated the third prince to the point that she wanted to personally kill him. To have her so magnanimously take care of Chen Yu's marriage, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was odd.
Just as he was thinking, housekeeper He Zhong hurriedly ran in and gasped for breath, saying: "Master, something has happened in the Xiang Palace!"
