"That's fine." Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand, "Shen Clan, I will allow you to remain in this position for a few more years, but you will no longer be able to manage the Feng manor's budget. Hand over the budget to mother. Starting today, you will remain in Jin Yu courtyard to ponder your mistakes. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave. "
Shen Clan's face was filled with unwillingness, as they shook their heads.
Handing over the budget, was that not the same as taking her life?
Chen Yu quickly spoke up to remind her: "Would mother please think more about Chen Yu."
With these words, the Shen Clan's unwillingness was completely suppressed.
This daughter was her future. She was her biggest bet. She could lose the budget, but she could not lose this daughter.
"Also." Feng Jin Yuan spoke up, "Jin Zhen has done well in protecting her master. She will be promoted to concubine and be given Ru Yi courtyard."
Ru Yi courtyard was a small courtyard in the manor. An shi had lived there for a period of time, but after giving birth to Xiang Rong, she moved to a larger courtyard. Ru Yi courtyard could be considered average. The decorations were appropriate, and there were fake mountains and ponds. The scenery was beautiful.
Jin Zhen heard Feng Jin Yuan arrange things like this, and her heart finally settled back into her stomach. She quickly went forward and kowtowed, thanking him for his grace.
The matriarch noticed a bloodstain on the back of her skirt. Her originally angry heart calmed down a little. Her son was the prime minister, and the manor only had one wife and three concubines. It was truly not many. Moreover, Yao shi had just been brought back, and there were only two sons. It was too few. If Jin Zhen worked hard, she could give the Feng family a fat little boy. Today's efforts would not have been in vain.
The matriarch's gaze was caught by Jin Zhen, and her heart calmed down a little. Fortunately, Feng Jin Yuan was in a drug-induced state at the time, so he did not notice that she was not a virgin. He also did not notice the shoes she had hidden in her sleeve. Afterwards, she was quick-witted and used a hairpin to cut her arm and smeared the blood on her skirt. This cut could also be used as punishment from the Shen Clan.
Everyone had their own arrangements. Only doctor Xu and the servant remained. Feng Jin Yuan had no place to vent his anger. Now that he looked at the two, he could not help but vent his anger.
"Shadow guards!" He roared. "Kill!"
With just a command, a figure appeared in the air with a "whoosh" and disappeared in a flash.
When he looked at the two people again, he saw that their heads had been directly cut off.
All the womenfolk in the room cried out in alarm. Even Feng Yu Heng pretended to cry out twice. Only Han shi stared at Doctor Xu's corpse and felt a sense of pleasure from the bottom of her heart.
Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand, and servants immediately came in to carry the corpse away. Someone else took care of the ground, and it was cleaned up in just a short while. No one could tell that a murder had taken place in the house, but the smell of blood could not be concealed.
Chen Yu covered her mouth and began to vomit. The Shen Clan stared at the empty space that nobody wanted to step on, their hearts filled with lingering fear.
This was the first time that the members of the Feng family had seen such a scene. Feng Jin Yuan had never allowed a hidden guard to appear in front of others, and he definitely would not allow his family to get involved in blood. But today, he was in a fit of anger and only wanted to vent, so he did not have time to worry about such things. But when he thought about it, this was also good. Regardless of whether it was the Shen Clan or Feng Yu Heng's side, this could be considered a deterrent. His wife was hard to control, but his second daughter was even harder to control.
"Heng." After the matter had been taken care of, Feng Jin Yuan felt that it would not be right to not care about his sick second son, so he hurriedly said: "Father will immediately send someone outside to invite a doctor to treat Zirui. You and your concubine mother should not be too anxious."
Feng Yu Heng sneered internally. Because of Chen Yu, the matter had been taken care of without end. It was clear how ambitious this father was.
Of course, if the Feng family was not benevolent, she would not be righteous. This was good.
She shook her head: "Father, there is no need. Zirui's illness is already much better, and Heng is half a doctor herself. This sort of small illness can still be treated. After experiencing this sort of thing, Heng is truly afraid and does not dare hand my younger brother over to an outsider. Would father allow Heng Heng to personally treat my younger brother. I will go to Hundred Herb Hall to get the medicine that is needed. "
Hearing her mention Hundred Herb Hall, Shen Clan, who had been sitting on the ground, immediately became spirited. Raising his voice, he asked: "What are you doing at Hundred Herb Hall?"
Feng Yu Heng was slightly startled then replied: "Naturally, I am going to get medicine!"
"Hundred Herb Hall does not have medicine for you to get!"
Feng Yu Heng tilted her head and thought for a bit then asked Feng Jin Yuan: "Is Hundred Herb Hall not concubine mother Yao's dowry shop? How could there be no medicine for me to get? Concubine mother Yao said that shop would be my dowry in the future. Previously, when we were living in the mountains, we could not take care of the capital. Now that we have returned, we must properly manage it. "
Shen Clan loudly shouted: "In your dreams! What dowry? That is the Feng family's business. When did it become your dowry? " She had been in charge of the manor's finances for many years. She had already taken over the shops that the matriarch had taken from Yao shi. Wanting her to spit them out now was the same as asking for her life.
But Feng Yu Heng did not care about these things, "Mother might have remembered incorrectly. Hundred Herb Hall was indeed a dowry that the Yao family had given to concubine mother Yao. Also, concubine mother Yao was preparing to use these shops to add to Heng Heng's dowry. It's fine if mother does not remember. The government has a record of the deeds. Just go and check, and you will know whether or not it is the Feng family's business. " When she spoke, her expression had already turned cold. She then looked towards the matriarch who had just regained control of the manor: "At that time, grandmother said that she would take care of concubine mother Yao's shops. I don't know if grandmother lost the deeds, but mother misunderstood them as the Feng family's business. Wang Chuan! "She turned her head and asked:" What if the deeds are lost? "
Wang Chuan told everyone: "If the family's deeds are lost, you can go to the government to check. After you find it, you can just make a new one."
Feng Yu Heng nodded: "Then let's go tomorrow. I have not been in the manor these past few years and have not had time to take care of those shops. I have troubled grandmother." On this matter, she only talked to the matriarch alone. She did not pay any attention to the Shen Clan, "Grandmother has spent all these years taking care of Hundred Herb Hall. Heng will remember grandmother's good deeds."
The matriarch opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond. That year, it was indeed her who had taken Yao shi's dowry. It was because the Feng family at that time was too envious of those shops! Now, the Feng family had more or less a foundation. Although a large part of it was due to the Shen family's support, the Yao family's contributions in the beginning could not go unnoticed. Now that Feng Yu Heng had come to ask for those shops, although she felt a bit of heartache, she could not say that she would not give them to her. Moreover, Feng Yu Heng and that girl Wang Chuan were singing the same tune. If they really went to the government to check, then where would the Feng family put their face?
"How could the deeds have been lost. Shen Clan, look again." The matriarch spoke.
The Shen Clan was very unhappy, especially with the Feng matriarch repeatedly calling her "Shen Clan." This made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"I am your daughter-in-law. Elder madam, why do you keep speaking such distant words." She was angry and deliberately changed the topic.
"Then how do you want me to address you?" The matriarch leaned on her cane, "If you want me to call you daughter-in-law, then act like the head wife of the family! Look at yourself. What part of you is worthy of being the head wife of the Feng family? "
"At least I gave birth to Chen Yu!" On this point, the Shen Clan was especially proud, "No matter what, I will always be Chen Yu's birth mother."
She used these words to shut the matriarch's mouth, but the matriarch had nothing to say. She could only remind her: "Tomorrow, go look for those deeds. I will give you two days. After you find them, immediately return them to Heng."
"Elder madam, have you become muddled? When a woman marries into the husband's family, the dowry and shops should be kept by the husband's family. Where is the logic in handing them over to the family and then asking for them back? "The Shen Clan fiercely glared at Feng Yu Heng:" You have no manners at all! "
Feng Yu Heng's face sank, as she raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Mother's meaning is that when a woman marries into the husband's family, the shops must be handed over?"
"Correct!"
"Then that's good. Wang Chuan! " She then called for Wang Chuan, "Go invite the governor to the manor. If the Feng family does not have enough face, then have Lady Zhou of the Imperial Palace Yu come out and invite the governor to the Feng manor. Just say that the Feng family's matriarch, head madam and concubine mothers will voluntarily hand over their dowry shops to the Feng family. From this moment forward, they will belong to the Feng family and will have nothing to do with them personally. Invite the governor to the manor to change the names of the deeds held by the elders. "
Wang Chuan bowed: "Yes, this servant will go immediately." After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
"Wait a moment!" The matriarch spoke up. She did not dare give Wang Chuan any face, nor did she dare treat Wang Chuan as a servant in the Feng manor that could be casually beaten. Her words were always polite and guarded, "Girl Wang Chuan, please wait a moment."
Not only did the matriarch feel flustered, but the Shen Clan's faces also turned white. She did not think that she would end up being dragged into this mess.
An shi also interjected from the side, saying to Feng Jin Yuan: "When this concubine entered the manor, my maternal family and husband agreed that the dowry shops would not be handed over to the Feng manor. They would be managed by me and would be given to my children in the future. Husband, you agreed to all of this, so why is it that the head madam is so insistent today? "An shi's words placed all of the blame on the Shen Clan. "Also, according to the Dashun system, after a girl marries, if there is a dowry shop, the girl can manage it herself. All of the profits will belong to the owner of the deed. The husband's family cannot interfere with the girl managing the dowry shops. This rule was set by the Emperor. "
When the Emperor was mentioned, An shi glanced at Feng Yu Heng. She was reminding her that she could win this battle.
Feng Yu Heng slightly nodded, expressing her gratitude to An shi.
The Shen Clan, however, shouted, "I did not say that we would hand over ours, nor did I say that we would change the name of the deed."
Feng Yu Heng's eyes became fierce, and a cold light appeared in her eyes. She stared straight at the Shen Clan. In an instant, the Shen Clan was so frightened that they retreated a few steps.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Feng Yu Heng felt that she had truly given this fat pig too much face, but this fat pig did not want it.
Very good.
"You mean to say that only concubine mother Yao's shop must be handed over, and you all can refuse to hand it over?" Looking around, the corners of her lips curled into a sneer, "Where did this logic come from? Wang Chuan! Go invite the governor. Hand over all of the shops owned by the women of this manor. None of them should even think of hiding them! "Looking at the matriarch, her expression softened:" Grandmother, since mother wants them, you can hand them over. "
Feng Yu Heng's words successfully incited the matriarch's anger. She glared at the Shen Clan and raised her cane, fiercely jabbing at them: "You want my shops? Hm? You're saying that you want my shops? "
Wang Chuan was very good at playing along, asking: "Then second young miss, what about the new deeds in your hands?"
Feng Yu Heng said: "Those were given by his Highness Prince Yu. Since mother wants them, even if I wanted to keep them, I would not be able to keep them. This time, they should all be renamed. Directly changing them to the Feng family's is fine. " She then glared at the Shen Clan: "Oh, that's not right. They should be directly changed to the Shen family's because father and grandmother did not say anything. It was mother who wanted these shops. All of the deeds in the hands of our Feng manor's womenfolk will be changed to the Shen family's."
