Feng Jin Yuan left the parlor. When he returned, sure enough, he had brought back a deed. He handed the deed to Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan received it and looked at it. He then handed the other deed to Feng Jin Yuan "Lord Feng, take care of it. This matter will be considered over. The heavy rain has not stopped. His Majesty said that the Feng family can continue to live here for a few more days. When the rain has lessened, we can move. "
The members of the Feng family gave their thanks to this sort of "grace." They watched as Zhang Yuan arrogantly left the Feng manor under the Emperor's umbrella. Fen Dai casually said: "Why does it feel like a eunuch is even more arrogant than a prince?"
The matriarch glared at her: "Disaster comes from the mouth! Shut your mouth! "
Fen Dai was given a fright and did not dare say anything else.
Cheng Jun Man glanced at Feng Jin Yuan and saw that he was a little flustered. The deed had been crumpled into a ball in his hand, and his knuckles had turned white from the excessive force. She curled the corners of her lips and said: "Husband, take care of the deed. Do not ruin it."
Only then did Feng Jin Yuan manage to react. He quickly smoothed out the deed then said to the matriarch: "For now, there is no need to think about anything. Everything can be discussed after the rain stops."
The matriarch nodded. She also knew that nothing could be done if the rain did not stop. She could only take care of everyone and continue eating. Feng Jin Yuan, however, had his own thoughts …
The next day, Xuan Tianming left the county princess' manor after eating breakfast. Bringing Ban Zou, he headed straight for the imperial palace. Feng Yu Heng lazed around in bed for a while. Just as she was preparing to get up, Wang Chuan entered and told her: "Lord Feng is here."
She frowned: "What did he come here for?"
Wang Chuan said: "News came from the head madam's side. During dinner last night, eunuch Zhang came to the Feng manor and exchanged deeds with Lord Feng."
"Exchange?" Feng Yu Heng frowned, "Where did he get the deed to exchange?"
Wang Chuan shook his head and said: "This is still unclear, but the head madam did say that Lord Feng used the Feng manor's deed to exchange for a new residence in the Southwest with eunuch Zhang."
Feng Yu Heng pondered for a while and muttered to herself, "Could it be that they made a fake one to deceive people?" Then she stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
When she arrived, Feng Jin Yuan had already been sitting in the outer hall for a long time. Seeing Feng Yu Heng come out, the inexplicable anger in his heart surged forth once more. He looked left and right at this daughter and found her to be an eyesore. Even when he spoke, he said, "Why don't you take a look at what time it is, yet you only just got up. You really are lacking in manners!"
Feng Yu Heng shrugged and walked to the main seat to sit. While drinking tea, she said, "I'm in my own fu. I can get up whenever I want. If you don't like it, then get out."
Feng Jin Yuan angrily slammed the table and pointed at Feng Yu Heng, saying: "You haven't even gotten married, yet you're already keeping a man in your fu. The Feng family's face has been completely lost by you!"
"Oh!" Feng Yu Heng immediately laughed, "The Feng family still has face for me to go and lose? Feng Chen Yu losing her chastity before marriage has already been reduced to the laughingstock of the entire city. Just how much face does your Feng family have that it has not been completely lost? Can you even leave me some? " The more she said, the funnier she felt it was, "If you truly feel that Xuan Tianming living here is not good, then go to the Imperial Palace Yu and say it. Or go into the palace to see the Emperor and properly speak with father Emperor about this matter … Oh right, I'm sorry, I forgot. You can no longer casually enter and leave the imperial palace, Official Feng."
Feng Jin Yuan did not even have the energy to get angry. He could only accept his fate and look at Feng Yu Heng. He suddenly found that he was on the verge of being unable to even raise his head in front of this daughter. A single word from her, a single smile, or even a single action from her could cause him to collapse. As for the Feng family, if they wanted to continue surviving, they still had to rely on this daughter.
But he was still a little unwilling. He stared at Feng Yu Heng and asked: "Now, you're not even willing to call me father?"
Feng Yu Heng put away her smile, and the gaze that she looked at him with became even colder. "Father." She muttered. She was not calling him, but she was thinking about something. After a long time, she finally said: "It seems that I really don't understand what the definition of father is. Everyone says that fathers are the heavens for their children. They make decisions for their children and provide them with a good life and future. But my father is wholeheartedly thinking of all sorts of ways to take my life. He is also very protective of the people that tried to harm me and my younger brother. Can this sort of thing be called father? "
Feng Jin Yuan's face became hot. Feng Yu Heng's words were like a knife that fiercely slashed at his face. He could not avoid it, nor could he avoid it. He could only endure it. Who told him to do all of these things. Who told him to not see the situation clearly. Who knew that during the three years in the Northwest, this daughter's personality would change so much and she would have such a fortuitous encounter.
"Heng." He finally remembered his goal for coming today. He also remembered that he had come to ask for help. He absolutely could not allow his relationship with Feng Yu Heng to become strained before he even said anything. Thus he gently coughed a couple times and ignored the previous topic. Thickening his skin, he said: "Father … I-I came today to discuss something with you."
"Oh?" Feng Yu Heng squinted her eyes and looked at him, "With me? Discuss? "
Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand, "No, I have something to ask of you." While saying this, he pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "This is the deed for the Feng family's new residence. I want to ask you, can you use this to exchange for the Feng manor's previous deed?"
Wang Chuan received the deed from his hand and handed it to Feng Yu Heng. She lowered her head and looked at it. She only glanced at it then raised her head again. She then looked at Feng Jin Yuan with a very puzzled gaze: "Do you feel that if you are stupid, others will also be stupid?"
"Hm?" Feng Jin Yuan was stunned, "What do you mean by these words?"
Feng Yu Heng waved the paper in her hand, "This new residence is not even 30% the size of the current Feng manor. The location also cannot be compared to this one. Estimating the value, it would be quite good if it could reach 20% of the old residence's value. You used this sort of broken thing to exchange for the deed in my hands. What exactly are you thinking? Also "She was puzzled and asked Feng Jin Yuan:" I heard that this thing was exchanged for the old residence's deed. I found it strange. The deed for the old residence is clearly in my hands. What is this thing that you have? "
Feng Jin Yuan's expression was not very good, as he waved his hand, "There's no need for you to worry about that. Today, I did indeed come to beg you. I hope that you will help me this once on account of me giving birth to you and raising you." He knew that he was in the wrong, so he could not even say the words "father."
Feng Yu Heng continued to shake her head, "I was given birth after my mother carried me for ten months. I was raised by a Persian master in the mountains of the Northwest. As for the grace of the Feng family raising me, I have already said that the Feng family will be safe from the two incidents involving Qian Zhou and Chen Yu. That will be considered repaying your favor. As for anything else, do not bring it up again. "
Feng Jin Yuan knew that the matter of him coming to exchange for the deed would most likely not succeed, but he just wanted to try his luck. What if it succeeded? But in the end, it was still this sort of outcome. He helplessly shook his head and did not say anything else. Going forward, he took the deed from Feng Yu Heng's hands and said: "Forget it. If you don't agree, I will think of something else." After saying this, he placed the deed into his pocket and quickly left the outer hall.
Watching him leave in the rain, Feng Yu Heng thought quickly and ordered Wang Chuan: "Take my identification plate and go into the palace to find eunuch Zhang. Have him carefully inspect the thing that Feng Jin Yuan gave him yesterday. It's most likely … fake."
The rain continued for another two days, but it still did not clear up. Feng Yu Heng had Huang Quan go to the residence in the suburbs. Fortunately, the houses in the residence were sturdy and did not leak in. The children were all hiding in their rooms, not daring to come out. The vegetables that they normally grew were all stored in the cellar, so there was no need to worry about food.
Ban Zou led a few hidden guards to escort the people from Qian Zhou to the North. Xuan Tianming had agreed to take action after they were 100 li away from the capital. This could be considered giving Qian Zhou an explanation that they had no choice but to accept. After all, it was not the right time for Dashun to attack Qian Zhou. Qian Zhou did not have the ability to take the initiative to attack Dashun. This matter was full of loopholes, but Qian Zhou did not have the courage to pursue this matter. They also did not have the strength to pursue this matter. This gave Dashun even more time to produce steel.
The Board of Astronomy observed the weather day and night; however, they all furrowed their brows. In the end, they concluded that it was a natural disaster.
Xuan Tianming had the tiger tally in hand and mobilized the troops stationed in various places to fight the flood; however, there was very little success. Feng Yu Heng knew that as long as the rain continued to fall, there was no way to fight against this flood. Even in the 21st century, something like a flood was very troublesome. Even if helicopters were used to save people, there were still countless lives that were caught up in the flood. Moreover, in this ancient era, where manpower and resources were scarce. Everything could only wait for the rain to stop. Even if it was Feng Yu Heng, there was nothing that she could do when faced with this sort of natural disaster.
These two days, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Feng manor. Feng Jin Yuan actually began to allow the various courtyards to receive rain and dew. He even went to visit the Cheng shi sisters' courtyards in one day. The next day, he went to An shi and Jin Zhen's courtyards in the morning and afternoon. At night, he went to visit Han shi's courtyard.
The matriarch was a little worried and repeatedly asked granny Zhao: "With Jin Yuan doing this, can his body endure it?"
Granny Zhao also did not understand what was going on with Feng Jin Yuan. The eldest young miss had just passed away, and he had been demoted. Now, there was a storm and a natural disaster. Everyone was about to be chased out of the manor. How could he still have the leisure to dote on his wife and concubines at this critical juncture. He even did it multiple times a day. This was not right!
But after thinking a little more, she came up with a theory. She said to the matriarch: "It could be that the recent events at home caused master to feel stifled. He had no choice but to find a place to vent."
The matriarch snorted, "His mood is stifled? The disaster was caused by him. What is there for him to feel stifled about. Hah! " She sighed, "After moving, there will not be such a large courtyard. Some of the manor's servants will need to be dismissed. You will take care of these matters."
Granny Zhao repeatedly complied.
In regards to Feng Jin Yuan's abnormal behavior, the wives and concubines at home did not understand. Jin Zhen and Han shi, however, were very happy, especially Jin Zhen. To be able to receive Feng Jin Yuan's favor, she truly did everything she could to take care of him. At the same time, she silently prayed in her heart, hoping that her belly would be able to put in a bit more effort and give birth to a man.
Even after Feng Jin Yuan left, Jin Zhen was still unable to calm her emotional state, thus she arranged for Man Xi to properly dress her up in hopes that Feng Jin Yuan would come again. But Man Xi was puzzled and told her: "Strange, why does it seem that there are a number of things missing from the jewelry box? That pair of jade bracelets have disappeared, and that golden hairpin has also disappeared. "
At the same time, Han shi was also rummaging through her chests to find the one thousand taels in banknotes that she had secretly saved up.
As for Cheng Jun Man and Cheng Jun Mei, they were sitting together, as Cheng Jun Mei said: "Sis, how much money do you think he could have stolen?"
