Everyone fell silent. For a while, the Shen Clan became the target of public criticism.
A woman's maternal family was trying to steal her husband's family's property. Furthermore, it was another woman's property. Even the matriarch was not spared. This was truly a strange story in Dashun.
The matriarch rubbed the cane in her hand. After a long time, she finally asked: "Jin Yuan, is this family surnamed Feng or Shen?"
Feng Jin Yuan quickly replied: "Of course it's surnamed Feng."
"Then why is this evil woman so rampant in my Feng family?"
The Shen Clan quickly defended themselves: "I never said the Shen family wanted it!"
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled: "It's not the Shen family that wants it? Then it's the Feng family? But the Emperor clearly said that the husband's family is not allowed to forcefully seize shops given by a woman's maternal family! The Feng family is defying the Emperor's orders! "
Feng Jin Yuan angrily rebuked: "Nonsense!"
The matriarch also asked: "When did my Feng family say it wanted it?"
The Shen Clan was stumped by these words and did not know how to refute them.
Feng Yu Heng, however, continued to speak: "Who gave you the courage to use the Feng manor's name to seize concubine mother Yao's shops and not return them? Mother, by doing this, where exactly are you placing the Feng manor? "Her words were sonorous and forceful. It sounded as though she was crying out for the Feng family.
"I …" The Shen Clan was at a loss for words, "Feng Yu Heng, stop trying to sow discord!"
"Did I choose it?" She blinked innocently, "I'm just taking back what belongs to me. How could mother accuse me of such a crime?"
Feng Jin Yuan truly could not stand a group of women trying to settle accounts. He simply waved his hand and pushed the matter to the matriarch: "Mother, right now, you are in charge of the family's finances. How do you think this matter should be handled?"
The Feng matriarch nodded. Staring at the Shen Clan, she said one word at a time: "My Feng family has always obeyed the Emperor's orders. We definitely will not do anything that goes against the Emperor's orders. A woman taking care of her own dowry is something my Dashun ancestors did. If Shen Clan continues to interfere, do not blame my Feng family for not showing mercy! Starting from today, you must return all of Yao shi's shops within two days. "
"Mother, please return the account books of these years." Feng Yu Heng added.
The Shen Clan was hopping mad. "Where's the account book? No! "
Feng Yu Heng didn't argue with her and only said, "Then I can only use the profits of similar shops in the capital to ask Mother for the next few years' harvest. I'll remember to pick one with a medium profit margin so that it won't be too difficult for Mother. "
The Shen Clan still wanted to say something, but Feng Jin Yuan waved his sleeve: "Then it's decided! Quickly return the deeds and accounts to Heng Heng. If you continue to cause trouble, even Chen Yu will not be able to protect you! "After she finished speaking, she pulled Jin Zhen away.
Shen Clan stood rooted to the ground, feeling as if he had just been in a dream.
She was clearly the one who wanted to harm Feng Zirui, but why did everything turn around and target her instead? Also, it was just a bowl of medicine. Jin Zhen was one thing, but why did it have to do with a dowry shop?
She stared blankly at Chen Yu. Seeing Chen Yu slightly shake her head, she could only suppress the unwillingness in her heart.
Everyone waited for nearly a day before finally dispersing.
Feng Yu Heng brought the two servants back to Willow courtyard. Yao shi was anxiously pacing around the courtyard.
She quickly walked forward and pulled her back: "Mother, what happened?"
Seeing her return, Yao shi finally had a pillar of support. Holding Feng Yu Heng's hand, she asked with concern: "Why were you gone for so long? What exactly happened? I saw that you had not returned for a long time, so I had granny Sun go to Shu Ya courtyard to inquire. Only then did I find out that everyone had gone to Pine courtyard. Is everything alright? "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "It's nothing serious. It's just that father took in the Shen Clan's eldest servant Jin Zhen as a concubine on a whim. The Shen Clan was unhappy and went to cause a scene."
"What?" Yao shi was stunned, "You said your father took in Jin Zhen?"
Seeing Feng Yu Heng nod, she continued: "That Jin Zhen has been with the Shen Clan since she was young. I saw that she did not seem to be well-behaved, but over the years, I have not seen your father have any other thoughts. Who knew that he would still take this step."
"Mother, don't worry about these matters." Feng Yu Heng shook her head and smiled bitterly, "He can take in whoever he wants. Let's live our own lives. If we can manage the Feng manor's matters less, then we should. Zirui? Is he better? "
Only then did Yao shi reveal a smile: "How else could it be said that our Heng Heng has the ability. I saw that the doctor was unable to see anything, but it was the medicine that our Heng Heng prepared that saved Zirui's life."
Jin Zhen coming to cause a scene was something that Yao shi had naturally seen and remembered. Although she did not know what happened to doctor Xu, she was certain that there was a problem with the medicine that was sent over.
Thinking of this, Yao shi asked: "That kind of good medicine, it was given by his Highness Prince Yu, right?"
She only knew that the Imperial Palace Yu had sent over many good things, and there were quite a few rare medicinal ingredients inside. Only then did she not find anything strange about Feng Yu Heng bringing out such good medicine.
Feng Yu Heng did not explain. Yao shi had found a very good source for her medicine, so she just went with the flow and admitted it.
But Wang Chuan, who was standing to the side, twitched his lips and thought: Second young miss, you are lying through your teeth!
But Wang Chuan did not plan on exposing her. At most, he was prepared to mention it to Prince Yu when he met him. She could not tell anyone else.
"Quickly go inside and rest." Yao shi pushed Feng Yu Heng into the room, "Zirui is asleep and does not need you to take care of him. I left some food for you. In a bit, I will have granny Sun heat it up and bring it over to you."
Only then did Feng Yu Heng feel hungry. Noon had already passed, and in another four hours, it would be time to eat dinner. Fighting really was something that used up a lot of energy.
She returned to the room, and Wang Chuan helped her wash her hands. Qing Yu finished brewing tea. The two servants stood at Feng Yu Heng's side, and neither of them went out.
Although Qing Yu was a bit young, she could be considered calm and steady. She did not speak much, and she was smart.
Feng Yu Heng had the intention of having Wang Chuan take care of Qing Yu. She needed to have two useful people at her side, especially this kind of servant that was not part of the Feng manor. Her slave contract was in her hands, and in addition, she needed to train her carefully. Only then would she feel at ease using her in the future.
Not long after, granny Sun brought in the food that had been heated up.
"Young miss, quickly eat. Madam already ate at noon, and young master went to sleep after eating a bowl of noodles. I estimate that he will wake up later." When there were no outsiders present, granny Sun was still used to calling Yao shi madam.
Feng Yu Heng saw that today's food was lighter than yesterday's and knew that it must have been Zirui's matter that made granny Sun remind the kitchen.
She was very satisfied with this kind of food. Only with meat and vegetables could it be balanced.
But there was one thing that she did not understand "Granny, do you have some understanding of concubine mother Han?"
The note that Han shi sent today, and her expression when Feng Jin Yuan's hidden guard killed someone, caused Feng Yu Heng to be extremely puzzled.
If it were not for some secret matter, then Han shi would definitely not have this kind of expression.
When granny Sun heard her mention Han shi, she could not help but let out a cold snort.
"She only knows how to be a fox. She has charmed master to such an extent."
Feng Yu Heng laughed, "No matter how much of a fox she is, she is old. The people that give birth to children are not as good as they used to be. Now, father has a new love."
Granny Sun frowned: "Just now, I heard madam mention that master took in Jin Zhen? Pei pei pei! Young miss, don't blame this old servant for speaking out of turn. This old servant saw that Jin Zhen did not look like a young girl at all. Look at the way she walks. How is that the style of a young girl. I really don't know what master is thinking. "
Feng Yu Heng picked up some food and placed it in her mouth. While eating, she discussed with granny Sun: "Maybe father likes that kind of thing."
"Master's interests really are unique." After saying this, she realized that she should not be discussing this with a young girl like Feng Yu Heng. She quickly stopped talking and followed up on concubine mother Han's previous topic: "Speaking of concubine mother Han … does young miss know that doctor Xu, who treated the second young master, is Jin Zhen's distant relative?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head: "I really don't know. But even if he is a relative, what does it have to do with concubine mother Han?"
Granny Sun told her: "Last year, concubine mother Han was pregnant with a child. Master was very happy. But suddenly, one day, concubine mother Han drank a bowl of medicine and lost the child. Her fetus was always looked after by doctor Xu. After the child was lost, doctor Xu said that it was a male fetus. "
Feng Yu Heng frowned: "Why did the Feng family keep doctor Xu in the manor after such a thing happened?"
"Because that bowl of medicine was not prescribed by doctor Xu. It was given by the head wife. But young miss, think about it. How could the head wife know anything about medicine. Didn't she ask doctor Xu through Jin Zhen? "
"Then father didn't investigate?"
Granny Sun helplessly shook her head: "What's there to investigate? At the time, it was said that master had something to ask of the Chen family."
Feng Yu Heng didn't ask anymore. She felt that the more she interacted with the original owner's father, the more disgusted she felt. For benefits, he was willing to do anything. In the end, was it because power was too tempting, or were people's hearts really that vicious?
After hurriedly finishing the meal, granny Sun took the plate and left. As a newcomer, Qing Yu's desire to learn and improve was quite strong. Hearing granny Sun's words, she had her own analysis: "Since granny Sun knows so clearly, then concubine mother Han must also know. She must hate the head wife."
Wang Chuan nodded, "That's right. But with her status, she would never dare to offend the Shen Clan. This is called difficult."
Feng Yu Heng smiled, "Since she used our hands to deal with doctor Xu, we have no choice but to owe her a favor. You two help me remember this. Who knows, we might have a use for Han shi in the future. "
The two maidservants simultaneously bowed and said: "This servant obeys."
In the evening, Zirui woke up.
Feng Yu Heng rushed over to check the child's pulse again. After confirming that there was no major problem, she fed him the medicine again. Then she told the servants: "For the next few days, give the young master some light food. He doesn't need to take medicine anymore. Also, don't drink cold water."
Zirui obediently laid on top of her. He raised his face and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry. I'll remember it all. I'll remember it better than them!"
Feng Yu Heng looked at her little brother in her arms. Her memories overlapped with the cute child from her previous life. For a moment, she was a bit absent-minded. She unconsciously said: "Don't worry. In this life, sister will definitely make sure you live well."
Zirui didn't understand her words, but he knew that his sister was thinking for his own good. He happily hugged her and giggled.
That night, Feng Yu Heng had many strange dreams. One moment, it was her mother and little brother from her previous life. The next moment, it was her seriously injured brother from the Marines. There was also her operating room and the unique dazzling light.
Finally, there was a sudden explosion. The dream changed to the helicopter. She seemed to see her own body being torn to pieces. She seemed to see her soul falling into an endless abyss.
At this time, she woke up and her body was covered in a cold sweat.
She really couldn't sleep. She prepared to go to the courtyard to chat with Huang Quan, who was on night watch. But just as she sat up, she heard a rustling sound coming from the window.
Feng Yu Heng had always been used to sleeping alone. The sleeping habits of the 21st century made her dislike having a maidservant sitting by her bed all night. It wasn't until now that she understood that it was reasonable for the ancient people to have a maidservant keep watch for the young miss. Thieves really came when they wanted to. It was impossible to guard against them.
