Perhaps Feng Jin Yuan could accept being demoted and chased out of the family. After all, such a big thing had happened to Feng Chen Yu. It was impossible for the imperial family to not have an attitude. But at the mention of the title deed, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and half of his heart was buried in the ground.
It was over. That deed had been exchanged for money with Feng Yu Heng. It had been agreed that it would be returned on the day she became of marriageable age. Now, that time had not come, and he had not managed to raise one million taels. Could he get the deed back?
Seeing that Feng Jin Yuan's expression was a little off, An shi took a couple steps forward and quietly said: "Husband, the family has gone through thick and thin together. This is nothing. Whether the residence is large or small is fine. It's fine as long as we can live in it. If the deed has been given, it has been given. Let's move. "
Jin Zhen also said: "That's right. With so many things happening in this manor, it always feels a little inauspicious. Moving is also good."
If this was any other time, Feng Jin Yuan might have been moved by An shi saying this sort of thing. But now, how could he have any time to be moved. His mind heated up, as he suddenly shouted: "What are you moving for? I'm not moving! My Feng family has lived in this manor for so many years. From the inside to the outside, which part of it has not been taken care of? Could it be that it will be given up like this? 8,000 taels is 8,000 taels. Even if I have to sell everything, I can't allow elder madam to live in peace. "
In a moment of desperation, he had brought up the matriarch. It sounded like a filial son, but the matriarch did not appreciate it. She questioned Feng Jin Yuan: "You have to sell everything? How much can you sell it for? For the sake of marrying that criminal woman from Qian Zhou, all of the money in the manor has been spent by you. I don't want to live in this courtyard. Bring out the deed. There is no need to wait for four days. We will move now! "
Everyone agreed, and Zhang Yuan nodded, saying: "Elder madam is correct. Rather than trying to keep up appearances, it would be better to live honestly." While he spoke, he reached into his sleeve and pulled out a piece of paper, "This is the deed for the residence in the Southwest. Lord Feng, hand over the deed for this side to our family."
Feng Jin Yuan's face turned red. Everyone was anxiously waiting for him to hand over the deed, but he just could not hand it over. Cheng Jun Man was puzzled: "Husband is still unwilling to part with this place?"
Feng Jin Yuan nodded, "After living here for so many years, how could I move just like that." Thinking a little more, he finally thought of a good reason, "In three days, Chen Yu will be executed. I want to perform a ritual for her at home. Even if it is not for her, it must be for the sake of the Feng family's future peace. It's better to perform rituals in the old manor, so that we won't have to go to a new place. "
When he said that, the old lady agreed and said, "That's right. It's too unlucky to perform a ritual for the dead when we just moved in. Let's do it here."
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he no longer forced him. He waved his hand and returned the deed that he had taken out before. Then, he said, "Then I will come back in a few days." After that, he hurriedly left with a group of palace servants.
Feng Jin Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief, but this was temporary. At most, it would last for four days. After four days, he would still have to face the matter of not being able to hand over the deed. At this very moment, he actually began to hate Feng Chen Yu. If it were not for her causing all of this trouble, how could he have been demoted, and how could the Feng family have been chased out of this place!
The matriarch snorted then said to granny Zhao: "Go bring out my court robes for the title of first rank noble lady. When the time comes, give them to eunuch Zhang to take away." She then glared at Feng Jin Yuan: "Your court robes should also be handed over. From this day forward, you won't even need to attend court. The Feng family really has raised a good daughter."
The matriarch spoke to herself, and Feng Jin Yuan's mind also began to think. For some reason, the hatred that had just been directed at Chen Yu was now directed at Feng Yu Heng. That's right! He should not hate Chen Yu. The person that should be hated was Feng Yu Heng. It was her that had done something to Chen Yu's body. It was her that had wholeheartedly wanted to destroy the Feng family. Feng Jin Yuan felt that he had truly given birth to a demon. If possible, he truly hoped that the person that would be cut in half the day after tomorrow would be his second daughter, Feng Yu Heng.
"Help elder madam back first." He gritted his teeth and fiercely said: "I am going out for a bit." Once he said this, he did not wait for anyone else to react before walking out of the manor's gates.
An shi watched him walk out the door and turn right. Subconsciously, she looked in the direction of Tong Sheng pavilion. She felt that Feng Jin Yuan had definitely gone to find Feng Yu Heng.
An shi's guess was correct. Feng Jin Yuan had indeed gone directly to the county princess' manor. The matter of moving was urgent, and there was truly nothing that he could do. He had no choice but to go to Feng Yu Heng's place to see if he could get the deed back.
But he never thought that just to enter the county princess' manor, the notice would go through three layers. From the Imperial Guard to the gatekeeper to the servant in Feng Yu Heng's courtyard, Feng Jin Yuan waited for a full stick of incense before he was finally invited through the county princess' manor's gates.
Today, Qing Yu was at home, so she personally led Feng Jin Yuan into the manor. When they passed by Yao shi's courtyard, Qing Yu said: "Lord Feng, please take a detour from this side to avoid disturbing madam's peace."
The anger that Feng Jin Yuan had been holding back the entire time suddenly surged forth "What arrogance! This prime minister will definitely not take a detour today! "
Qing Yu was also straightforward and stopped. Coldly looking at Feng Jin Yuan, she reminded him: "Could it be that my lord has forgotten that you are no longer the prime minister. Why do you still refer to yourself as this prime minister? Are you not afraid that word will spread and the Feng family will suffer another calamity? "
Feng Jin Yuan was given a start. He had referred to himself as this prime minister for many years and had become accustomed to it. Now that this girl had reminded him, he finally managed to react. He had to be a little more careful. It had always been said that trouble came from the mouth. He absolutely could not allow the Feng family to suffer another calamity.
But he was also curious, "The palace just sent an imperial decree, yet you found out so quickly. Could it be that you placed a spy in the Feng family?"
Qing Yu nearly laughed out loud, "My lord, what is the Feng family? Could it be that young miss is not a member of the Feng family? Moreover, the Feng family is currently managed by young miss. Is there a need for that person to be specially placed? Which one does not listen to young miss' orders? Also, his Majesty sent young miss a roasted duck. This news came from the eunuch that sent the duck. He also said that his Majesty wanted young miss to hear some good news. If my lord has any objections, just go into the palace and bring it up with his Majesty! "
How could Feng Jin Yuan still have that ability. Snorting, he took the initiative to take a detour.
Finally, he arrived at Feng Yu Heng's courtyard. Upon entering, he saw that girl sitting under a date tree and eating roasted duck rolls. She was eating directly with her hands, not caring about her image in the slightest. He truly could not understand. How could someone as arrogant as the Ninth Prince take an interest in this girl.
Qing Yu brought him into the courtyard and did not announce anything. She directly walked over to Feng Yu Heng and helped her change out a tray of roasted duck rolls. Huang Quan was carrying the remaining roasted duck and said to her: "This servant will send it to the kitchen. Have the chef of Refined Deity Building make a bowl of soup."
Feng Yu Heng was enjoying her meal and did not have time to speak. She just waved her hand and had her quickly go. Wang Chuan stood to the side and glanced at Feng Jin Yuan. With a smile, he said: "Lord Feng, no matter how much you stare at this duck, it's useless. This was given to young miss by his Majesty. Nobody gets a share."
Feng Jin Yuan rushed to say: "Who cares about this damn thing!"
The person that had eaten the duck until her mouth was covered in oil finally stopped. Glaring, she coldly said: "Say it again!"
"So what if I say it ten times!" Feng Jin Yuan looked at his second daughter and became angry, "Even if I say it ten times, it's still just a damn duck! Be careful not to choke to death! "
"Wang Chuan." Feng Yu Heng put down the unfinished duck in her hand and calmly said: "Put the rest of the duck back into the food box and immediately send it to the palace." As she spoke, she raised her head to look at the sky. She then wiped her hands with the handkerchief that Qing Yu handed to her. She then took off the token that allowed her to enter the palace from her waist. "Go quickly. If you're late, the palace gates will be locked. Remember, you must send it to his Majesty or eunuch Zhang Yuan. Just say that Official Feng said that this is a damn duck. If this county princess eats it, I will choke to death. Tell father Emperor that this county princess still does not want to die. I still want to contribute a bit more to Dashun. "
Wang Chuan forcefully held back his laughter and neatly put the plate away. Picking it up, he prepared to leave. Only then did Feng Jin Yuan realize that he had said something wrong. He hated that he could not slap himself. He clearly knew that this duck was a gift from the Emperor, so why did he say such useless things. Really, he could not control his emotions upon seeing this girl. This was no good.
He stopped Wang Chuan and finally calmed down: "I did not have that sort of meaning. There is no need to take it seriously." He then said to Feng Yu Heng: "Father came today because there is something that I want to ask of you."
"Ask me?" Feng Yu Heng shrugged, "Father came to ask me to do something, yet you actually curse me to choke to death. If I die, who will do it for you?"
Feng Jin Yuan did not want to argue with her; however, he caught the words in her words and happily said: "You mean to say … you agree?"
"I don't agree." Feng Yu Heng clearly told him: "No matter what it is, I will not agree. Father, there is no need to waste your time. Please go back."
"You …" Feng Jin Yuan became anxious, "I am your father. I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years. Why do you not care about any familial love?"
Feng Yu Heng's hand itched to hit him, "You gave birth to me? You were pregnant for ten months? You raised me? You sent me to the mountains to raise me? Feng Jin Yuan, I will tell you that the little bit of father-daughter relationship that I had was completely wiped clean by your attempts to harm and kill me both in the open and in the dark. Today, for me to allow you into the county princess' manor, you should feel grateful. If you continue to speak rudely to me, from this moment forward, you will not be able to take a single step into the county princess' manor. "
Feng Jin Yuan's face turned bright red. Feng Yu Heng never left him any face when insulting and cursing him. His old face was truly worthless in front of this daughter. He began to think of retreating. Their relationship had become so tense, yet he still spoke. Was there any meaning?
But if he did not bring it up, there was no hope at all. The palace was pressing him. Even if he did not care about his face, he still had to ask.
Thus he gritted his teeth and frankly said: "I came today to discuss the matter of the Feng manor's deed. Right now, his Majesty wants to take it back. Take a look, can you return it to me first."
Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow: "I can, but you need to return the one million that you owe me."
Feng Jin Yuan stomped his foot, "If I could bring out that one million, why would I waste my breath with you."
"If you know that what you are saying is nonsense, then why are you saying so much. Do you not find it tiring." Feng Yu Heng coldly glared at the body's original owner's shameless father and reminded him: "Rather than asking me for the deed, it would be better for you to use this time to borrow money. Once you have borrowed one million, the deed will naturally be returned to you. "
Feng Jin Yuan also felt that rather than losing face here, it would be better to go out and borrow money. Thus he stomped his foot and pointed at Feng Yu Heng, saying: "Little bastard, when I have raised one million to exchange for the deed, I will definitely sever our relationship as father and daughter. From this moment on, we will never speak again!"
Just as he said this, the clear sky suddenly exploded with the sound of thunder. With a boom, the ground began to tremble.
Feng Jin Yuan swayed a few times in fear and nearly fell to the ground. Feng Yu Heng, however, suddenly began to laugh. Pointing at this shameless father, she said: "Did you hear that? Even the heavens would not allow you to curse me!"
