Once these words were said, Feng Jin Yuan's face also darkened. The degree of darkness was no less than the child's. Not only was his face dark, but his eyes also seemed to be able to shoot fire. Looking at his posture, it was as though he wanted to rush forward and choke the child to death.
Boss Yue's play continued, but his voice was a little off key. The people on the two sides with the flux weapons looked back, but they could not find him. This person craned his neck and looked into the crowd. Unfortunately, there were too many people around, and he could not even see the child's face.
That question about the child's dark face also reached his ears. In that instant, boss Yue's thoughts became very complicated. On one hand, he feared that the matter would be exposed and wanted to quickly finish his performance and leave. On the other hand, he felt that the child resembled him and felt a little proud. Perhaps this was a feeling that every father would have. Unfortunately, this father of his was destined to not see the light of day.
The people continued to discuss, as someone said: "It shouldn't be that sir Feng's concubine also has a dark face, right?"
Someone immediately refuted: "That can't be. The Feng family's concubine with the surname Han came from a brothel. She is very fair and beautiful. How could she have a dark face."
Another person said: "Sir Feng's concubine also has phoenix eyes, right?"
Someone immediately refuted the rumor: "This official has seen that concubine once. She has a pair of bright and lively eyes. She truly has double eyelids."
Once these words were said, everyone was puzzled, "Since she is a beauty with white skin and large eyes, how could she give birth to this sort of child?"
This question repeatedly echoed in Feng Jin Yuan's mind. It was infinitely magnified, as though it was a demon that was stirring up all of his nerves. But at this sort of time, what could he do? Publicly turn hostile and hang Han shi up for a beating? Or throw the child to death in front of everyone?
He could not do anything. Dirty linen could not be aired in public. He had to remain calm and endure through this banquet. When these people left, he would go and deal with that slut. Settle this debt!
Feng Jin Yuan gritted his teeth and waved his hand, allowing the wet nurse to take the child away. Only then did he loudly say: "The child was just born last night. How can you tell black and white. Come, come, come, everyone. Let's drink. Drink."
With the child being carried away, Feng Jin Yuan deliberately changed the topic, thus everyone did not continue to ask. They all returned to their seats and continued to eat. After boss Yue finished singing "Cultivating Grace," who knew who brought up "Father," Feng Jin Yuan nearly coughed up blood upon hearing this, but he could not refute the other party in front of everyone. He finally understood why the Ninth Prince wanted to arrange this wedding banquet for the Feng Family. It turned out that they were all waiting here!
Feng Jin Yuan turned his cold gaze in the direction of Feng Yu Heng; however, he did not think that Feng Yu Heng would no longer be sitting in her original spot. Instead, she had moved over to Xuan Tianming's side. Currently, the person sitting in her previous seat was Xiang Rong. This gaze was completely received by Xiang Rong, causing the young girl to tremble in fear. But very quickly, Xiang Rong gathered her courage and walked over to Feng Jin Yuan.
Before Feng Jin Yuan could react, his third daughter had already arrived at his side. With an aggrieved expression, she stood in front of him and said: "I beg father to support daughter." After saying this, she moved to kneel.
How could Feng Jin Yuan allow her to kneel like this. Today was already shameful enough. If Xiang Rong did this, would it not cause even more trouble? How could he clean up this mess? He used his arm to support Xiang Rong. With an angry expression, he gritted his teeth and said: "What are you doing? Do you still think it's not chaotic enough? "
Xiang Rong was already extremely disappointed in this father. Now that he saw his daughter complain, he did not ask what had happened. Instead, he disliked her for causing trouble! The anger in Xiang Rong's heart also surged. The usually weak little girl was quite difficult to deal with once she became serious. She then heard Xiang Rong suddenly raise her voice by quite a bit, loudly saying: "Father! If you do not support daughter, daughter will one day be killed by concubine mother Han! "
Once this was shouted, Feng Jin Yuan could not stop her even if he wanted to. Everyone's gazes turned in their direction. Even boss Yue stopped singing. With a stunned expression, he looked in Xiang Rong's direction.
Xiang Rong's eyes were filled with tears. She stared at Feng Jin Yuan as though she had made up her mind. She did not have any intention of backing down, as she continued to say: "Father, daughter just wants to ask. In the first month of the year, why did concubine mother Han push me into the lake?" While she spoke, she cried. While crying, she asked. She asked the same question a total of three times. This allowed those that had not heard her to understand.
Feng Jin Yuan was so angry that he did not know what to do. He did not want to kill anyone right now. He wanted to commit suicide!
As for Feng Yu Heng, she leaned against Xuan Tianming's side and said with a sly smile: "Everyone knows. Sure enough, everyone knows."
Xuan Tianming snorted coldly, "The evils brought upon themselves are the hardest to bear."
The situation had already escalated to this point, and there were many people that continued to ask. Xuan Tian Ge even walked over to Xiang Rong's side and personally supported Xiang Rong, saying: "Third sister, stop crying. Your crying is making elder sister's heart ache. You said that Feng manor's concubine mother Han pushed you into the lake. Is this true?"
Xiang Rong nodded, "It's true. At that time, I was fortunately saved by second sister's people. Only then was I able to escape. "
Xuan Tian Ge nodded, "Don't worry. Princess Ji An and this princess are as close as sisters. In the future, she will also be this princess' cousin-in-law. Even if your father does not make this decision for you, elder sister will make it for you!"
Xuan Tian Ge was the only princess of the Dashun court. She was also the only girl of the Xuan family's generation. Emperor Tianwu doted on her to the point of being undisciplined and out of control. He was practically treating her the same as Xuan Tianming. Now that Xuan Tian Ge had personally supported Xiang Rong and said this, even if Feng Jin Yuan wanted to deny it, he could not. Even if he did not want to make this decision, he could not.
He wiped away the sweat from his brow and used an almost distorted voice to ask Xiang Rong: "What exactly happened? Speak clearly. "
Xiang Rong calmed herself down and took a couple deep breaths. After adjusting her state of mind, she raised her voice and said: "Father, the situation is like this. One month …"
Just as she began speaking, Feng Jin Yuan reached out and stopped the child. With a bitter expression, he quietly said: "Lower your voice!"
Xiang Rong did not understand and continued to use the same volume to ask him: "Why does father want daughter to lower my voice? Daughter was nearly killed by someone. Who do you want to hide it for? "
Feng Jin Yuan immediately had the misconception that he was not speaking to Xiang Rong. Instead, he was speaking to Feng Yu Heng. This aggressive aura, this resolute refusal to back down, she did not stop until she forced him into a dead end. This truly was learning from the same person. This third daughter had interacted with Feng Yu Heng so much that she had learned about 30 to 40 percent of her second sister's most frightening strength. But just this 30 to 40 percent was enough for him to suffer.
Feng Jin Yuan was unable to say anything, as he heard Xiang Rong practically shout: "At the beginning of this year, during the first month, I was unable to sleep one night and wanted to go to the then-Tong Sheng pavilion, which is now the imperial daughter's manor, to chat with second sister. Everyone knew that the former Feng manor and imperial daughter's manor were connected, and there was even a moon gate in between. That's why as the younger sister, I went to chat with my elder sister. There was nothing wrong with that. Either way, I did not leave the manor. Who knew that just as I arrived at the manmade lake in the Feng manor, I saw concubine mother Han shi with disheveled clothes and disheveled hair rushing back from the other side of the small bridge. I met her face to face, and she had a very surprised expression. Then she actually … actually … "
Xiang Rong was a little unable to continue. The scene of being pushed into the lake by Han shi surfaced in her mind, but the people were listening to the most interesting part of the gossip. How could they allow her to stop here, thus someone urged: "What actually happened?"
"She actually pushed this imperial daughter's third sister into the lake with the intention of drowning," At this time, Feng Yu Heng, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up, continuing Xiang Rong's words. She said: "Fortunately, one of my servants passed by the lake and saw it. Only then was third sister saved. That night, the matter was very large. Everyone in the manor was searching for the missing third sister, but at that time, grandmother was still alive, and she was completely focused on concubine mother Han shi. There was also fourth sister's support. This princess' third sister was naturally timid and has a weak personality. That's why she did not dare speak of being pushed into the water. But not daring to speak of it does not mean that it did not happen. Now that father is at my side, asking him to support his daughter is something that should be done. Moreover, why did concubine mother Han shi appear on the other side of the small bridge in the middle of the night with disheveled clothes. Father, don't you want to investigate this matter? "
While Feng Yu Heng spoke, she turned her gaze toward Feng Jin Yuan. That gaze was filled with doubt, questioning, pursuit and ridicule. Not only that, but she even said: "This imperial daughter's third sister, I think everyone knows about her. After the flood, she went to court with this imperial daughter. She was also personally appointed by father Emperor's eunuch Zhang Yuan. Not only did she go to court, but she also received father Emperor's grace. This sort of girl, this imperial daughter thinks, no matter which manor she is placed in, father and mother would dote on her like a treasure, right? But why is it that in the Feng manor, she still has to think about how she can live peacefully every day? "
Feng Yu Heng's words caused everyone present to sink into deep thought. The people that normally had the right to go to court also recalled that during that special morning court session, the Feng family's third young miss had indeed gone to court with them. Emperor Tianwu had indeed given her the greatest grace for a girl. This sort of girl, it was as Feng Yu Heng had said. Which family would she not be a treasure? Why did she have to live so miserably in the Feng manor?
Feng Yu Heng curled the corners of her lips into a sneer and asked Feng Jin Yuan: "Father, take a guess. If there comes a day when Xiang Rong is mysteriously killed by a concubine mother in the manor, will his Majesty pursue this matter with you?"
The sweat on Feng Jin Yuan's forehead dripped down at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as though he could already see Emperor Tianwu angrily demanding his life. Subconsciously taking a step back, he plopped into a chair. His face was pale white, and he did not dare look at Xiang Rong.
Xuan Tian Ge looked at his cowardly appearance and became angry. Frowning, she said: "When I get back, I really will need to ask uncle Emperor. Which eye did he use to see that you were suitable to be the prime minister? Could it be that he saw wrongly? That will need to be treated by Heng Heng. "
Everyone wiped away their sweat. Only Palace Princess Wu Yang dared to say this sort of thing. If it was anyone else, they would not have the courage.
Just as everyone was waiting for Feng Jin Yuan to make a decision, they heard a servant run over from a small path and loudly shout: "Not good! Fourth young miss wants to kill young master! "
