Feng Jin Yuan brought the Cheng shi sisters with him to the Xiang Palace. Of course, doing this was not out of respect for the head wife and the second wife. Instead, it was because he needed to borrow these two people to keep up appearances.
What exactly had happened in the Xiang Palace, the Feng family still did not know, but when Feng Jin Yuan heard that the Empress had sent a body inspecting granny to the Xiang Palace with the heavenly plate, he had already guessed most of it.
But he felt it was strange. Chen Yu had clearly expressed that she was completely fine. At that time, he saw that Chen Yu did not seem to be lying. Later on, he learned that Chen Yu had spent a large amount of money to beg Feng Yu Heng. No matter how much he disliked Feng Yu Heng, he still trusted that girl's medical abilities. Moreover, Feng Yu Heng was very fond of money and was very close to it. At that time, Chen Yu had the Chen family's large banknotes. Using this to ask Feng Yu Heng for help was not impossible. But now, it seemed that he had been one step too far. Ever since Yao shi's group of three returned to the capital, Feng Yu Heng had worked with the Chen family many times to harm them. Although Feng Yu Heng had dealt with them one by one, and she even had a chance to take her life, his protection allowed Feng Chen Yu Heng to escape punishment a few times. That second daughter of his was someone who held grudges. How could she allow Chen Yu to smoothly marry into the Xiang Palace.
Thinking like this, he became even more anxious. He urged the driver to go faster a few times. Finally, the carriage let out a whine, as the driver stopped in front of the Xiang Palace's gates.
Feng Jin Yuan quickly got out of the carriage and walked inside. The Cheng shi sisters followed behind him. The two looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.
Feng Yu Heng had already sent word over. This time, for Chen Yu's wedding, not only would she and Princess Xiang participate, even their aunt would participate. The two sisters had already made up their minds. Coming to the Xiang Palace this time, they would not be following Feng Jin Yuan's orders. Instead, they would be following county princess Ji An, Feng Yu Heng.
With the arrival of the Feng family, the sounds of discussion in the courtyard gradually died down. An official that was usually on Feng Jin Yuan's side hurriedly went forward and told Feng Jin Yuan about what had happened earlier. Feng Jin Yuan's face turned pale from hearing this. He was almost certain that it was Feng Yu Heng who had carved those four words. For a moment, anger welled up in his heart, and he wanted to rush into the wedding hall to question Feng Yu Heng!
But when he walked into the wedding hall and saw the Ninth Prince, Xuan Tianming, sitting next to Feng Yu Heng, those questions that had already rushed to his mouth were helplessly swallowed back down.
He brought his two wives and saluted the princes. When he lowered his head, he looked behind him and happened to see Feng Chen Yu sprawled on the threshold of the wedding hall. Her face was pale white and the blood at the corner of her mouth clearly told him that his daughter had been beaten.
But what could Feng Jin Yuan say? What did he dare say? He was very clear on Feng Chen Yu's matter. Now, he only needed to see how much of her history had been dug up. Once that matter was revealed, not to mention Feng Chen Yu, perhaps he would no longer need to be the prime minister.
Trembling, he straightened his body and looked at the third prince, asking with a guilty conscience: "Your Highness, what exactly happened?"
Xuan Tian Ye's face sank and did not speak. Instead, it was Duan Mu Qing who spoke up: "Lord Feng, that is the good daughter that you taught! Ruining her reputation is your family's matter, but just because your family is shameless, don't assume that everyone is as shameless as you! "
His words were extremely harsh, as the word shameless slapped Feng Jin Yuan's face as though it was on fire. He was a dignified standard first rank official, yet he was being insulted by a deputy leader from the border. Even if he ignored it, he could not endure it.
Thus he simply put away the fear that he had when facing Xuan Tian Ye. Looking coldly at Duan Mu Qing, he fiercely asked: "Deputy leader, what sort of status are you using to speak to this prime minister?"
Duan Mu Qing spent most of his time in the North. How could he have any concept of official ranks. In addition to this, he was a relative of the third prince's maternal family, and he was in charge of the majority of the soldiers in the North. Naturally, his personality was more arrogant than the average person's. With his sense of superiority, how could he place a standard first rank prime minister in his eyes. Moreover, it was the Feng family that was being unreasonable.
Duan Mu Qing straightened his back and replied to Feng Jin Yuan, saying: "I represent the Duan Mu family to ask Lord Feng. What exactly is the meaning of sending a withered flower to Princess Xiang as a treasure?"
In truth, compared to Feng Jin Yuan, Duan Mu Qing and Xuan Tian Ye hated Princess Xiang, Zhao Bai Ru, even more. Originally, marrying Feng Chen Yu into the Xiang Palace was nothing more than a chess piece. If it was done quietly, even if Xuan Tian Ye found out about it, at most, he would just lock her up in the palace and not visit, but the plan would still continue. But now, everyone knew about it. This forced him to demand an explanation from Feng Jin Yuan. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and completely get rid of the chess piece that was Feng Chen Yu.
Seeing Feng Jin Yuan stand there without saying anything, Xuan Tian Ye suddenly snorted coldly. He then looked at the granny that had examined the body and said: "Since Prime minister Feng is feigning ignorance, just bring him to the inner hall to be examined again! This time, I ask Prime minister Feng to open your eyes and take a clear look. What sort of thing is your daughter! "
Once these words were said, Feng Jin Yuan's face turned bright red. Have him go in to examine his own daughter? What sort of thing was this? He stomped his foot and began to pace around in place.
At this time, the Cheng shi sisters received a look from Feng Yu Heng, thus Cheng Jun Man took the initiative to say to Feng Jin Yuan: "Husband, allow this concubine and younger sister to go with the granny to be examined again!"
Only then did Feng Jin Yuan remember that he had brought two people, thus he quickly nodded and said: "Alright, quickly go." He then said to Xuan Tian Ye: "Not only are they Chen Yu's mother, but they are also her Highness the Empress' nieces. Let them go for the examination!"
Xuan Tian Ye nodded, and the granny led them to the inner hall. He knew that Feng Jin Yuan had deliberately brought the two sisters; however, he secretly cursed for being foolish. Those two were clearly with Feng Yu Heng. How could they speak up for him at a time like this.
Not long later, the Cheng shi sisters returned from the inner hall. The granny also followed them. Immediately following this, Feng Chen Yu was dragged to the entrance of the wedding hall by servants. Just as Chen Yu was crying, the Cheng shi sisters knelt in front of Xuan Tian Ye, with Cheng Jun Man saying: "As the head wife of the Feng family, I was unable to invite a granny to examine my daughter before she was married. This matter was this concubine's oversight."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin Yuan's heart became completely cold. He had originally held onto a glimmer of hope, but now, that hope had been completely destroyed. He knew that this time, Feng Yu Heng had gone for the kill.
He could not vent his anger, and he nearly went crazy from holding it in. He could not vent his anger on the third prince, and there was no reason to vent his anger on Duan Mu Qing. The main culprit was Feng Yu Heng, and he did not dare vent his anger on her. Turning around, he saw Feng Chen Yu still lying on the doorstep. He finally found a place to vent. Taking a few steps forward, he raised his foot and kicked at her shoulder.
Although this kick wasn't as strong as Duanmu Qing's internal strength, it was still very deadly when it hit the shoulder joint. Chen Yu was kicked to the ground, as she heard a "crack" sound come from her left shoulder. Immediately following this, it was as though her left arm had lost its connection, as it dangled on the ground.
She nearly fainted from the pain. Looking at Feng Jin Yuan's despairing face, the horror in her heart became even greater.
At this time, the Cheng shi sisters were still kneeling on the ground. Xuan Tian Ye looked at the two, and the anger in his heart wanted to vent; however, he could not vent. Although they were Feng Jin Yuan's wives, they were still the Empress' nieces. He had to give them face. He pondered a little then suddenly turned his gaze to Feng Yu Heng, asking: "What does county princess think of this matter?"
When he asked this, Feng Yu Heng was curled up in a large chair. She was playing with the tassel on Xuan Tianhua's waist. Xuan Tianming said from the side: "Seventh Brother's tassel is new. I have never seen him wear it before."
Xuan Tianhua did not speak. He just smiled and moved towards Feng Yu Heng's side to prevent her from pulling too tightly. Yu Qian Yin's eyes would occasionally glance towards Feng Yu Heng's side; however, she copied Feng Yu Heng's appearance and lazily leaned back in her chair. It was just that she was a little fatter than Feng Yu Heng. Sitting there, she did not look as good.
When Xuan Tian Ye asked this question, Feng Yu Heng did not stop playing with the tassel. She did not even raise her head, as she loudly called out: "Granny!"
In this room, the only person that could cause Feng Yu Heng to call granny was the one from the palace, thus she quickly went forward and bowed, saying: "This old servant is here. What orders does county princess have?"
Feng Yu Heng continued: "I will trouble granny with telling us about Dashun's laws. Women are obscenities. Tell his Highness the third prince about the punishment for the crime of sedition. His Highness does not seem to be too clear. "
The granny nodded then turned around and loudly said: "According to Dashun's laws, women are guilty of adultery, having multiple husbands and being obscene. Once the crime of sedition is confirmed, the punishment will be execution at the waist. "
Once the words "execution at the waist" were said, Feng Chen Yu completely fainted.
Feng Jin Yuan staggered and nearly fell. Fortunately, a servant supported him. As for Cheng Jun Man, who was kneeling on the ground, she solemnly said: "The family is unfortunate. She has already been carried into the Xiang Palace. Everything will be handled by his Highness." The two then stood up together and walked over to Feng Jin Yuan. Cheng Jun Mei said: "Husband, with things as they are, eldest young miss can no longer be protected."
Cheng Jun Man also said: "With this sort of daughter, my Feng family despises her."
With them saying this, what else could Feng Jin Yuan say? Chen Yu was now a cripple, and she was a cripple that had lost face for the Feng family. He himself also understood that if he continued to keep this daughter, the Feng family would truly be done for.
But he was extremely unwilling. His bloodshot eyes fiercely glared at Feng Yu Heng. The anger that filled his chest erupted with this look. For a while, he was unable to hold back and suddenly shouted: "Exactly how far do you want to harm the Feng family?"
Feng Yu Heng finally stopped fiddling with the tassel, but she still did not raise her head. Her small face was as cold as ice. Anyone that looked at her would tremble.
Xuan Tianming's hand slightly moved. Just as he was about to lash out with his whip, the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, said: "Prime minister Feng, in your eyes, what sort of daughter would be considered good? A daughter of the first wife that is skilled in medicine and can produce steel for the country, yet you do not dote on or love her; instead, you have such great ambitions for a crippled daughter of a concubine. What exactly do you want to do? "
Feng Jin Yuan was startled. He did not think that the one to speak at this time would be the seventh prince, who was like a deity. Also, each of his words struck at his heart.
That's right, at this time, in everyone's eyes, Feng Yu Heng was the Feng family's hope. Why did he insist on holding onto Chen Yu and not letting go? But how many people could understand that Feng Yu Heng was not of the same mind as him!
"Heh." Suddenly, the person playing with the tassel spoke up; however, it was a cold sneer that did not seem to mind. "Perhaps eldest sister is prettier than me, or perhaps eldest sister has the aspect of the phoenix. Either way, father Emperor's hopes lie with me, but this father's hopes have never been with me. "
"Cease your nonsense!" Feng Jin Yuan was scared witless. Was this not saying that he was not of the same mind as the Emperor? Was this still his daughter?
At this time, Xuan Tianming, who had been sitting without speaking, could no longer bear to continue listening to Feng Jin Yuan's shameless words. He simply waved his hand "You should be the one to shut your mouth! If you want to argue, I will bring you back to the Imperial Palace Yu in a moment. We will properly discuss it. Now, "He turned his gaze towards the unconscious Feng Chen Yu and curled his lips into a sneer," Servants, take that thing to the government office for I. Have Xu Jing Yuan lock her up properly. After three days, she will be executed by being executed at the waist! "
