With Fen Dai saying drown, it was as though the child understood. Not only did it cry even louder, it even began to struggle in its wet nurse's embrace. The wet nurse did not expect it.
For a newborn child to have so much strength, in a moment of carelessness, she was unable to hold it. Letting go, the child fell out of her embrace.
When Fen Dai saw that the child was about to fall to the ground, her eyes lit up with joy. She even subconsciously wanted to find if she had any sharp weapons on hand. It would be best if she could throw them on the ground to kill the child.
But before she could find anything, the child was only halfway through his free fall when a whip suddenly came from behind Feng Fen Dai, heading straight for the child. Just as everyone cried out in surprise, the whip wrapped around the swaddling cloth. Pulling it back, it neatly landed in someone's embrace.
Everyone looked in that direction and saw Feng Yu Heng with a heavy expression. Holding the whip in one hand and holding the child in the other, she was currently staring at Fen Dai.
Feng Fen Dai was given a fright by her and angrily rushed to say: "What did you come here for? This is my courtyard! "She asked while looking back; however, she did not see the fifth prince, Xuan Tian Yan, return.
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, "I am the Feng family's daughter of the first wife. This is the Feng manor. Is there any place that I cannot come to?"
Fen Dai became angry, "You also know that you are the Feng family's daughter of the first wife? I have never heard of a daughter of the first wife who would not save her father! "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Un, then you have heard today. You have not lived this life in vain."
Fen Dai was a little afraid and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Feng Yu Heng did not reply. She just put the whip away in her sleeve then looked at the child in her embrace. It was still dark, and its eyes were a little more open than yesterday. It was still slender phoenix eyes. Who knew why, but the child that had been crying and making a fuss calmed down once he was in Feng Yu Heng's embrace. Not only did he stop crying, he even opened his eyes that could not be opened to look at the person holding him.
Feng Yu Heng was originally in a bad mood, as she had quarreled with the fifth prince. She left the room in a fit of anger and wanted to walk around, but the Feng family had just moved into a new residence. She was not familiar with the roads at all, thus she ended up in Fen Dai's courtyard.
However, this kind of mood was almost dispelled by the child's serious gaze. She reached out to touch the child's little face and teased him, "You're so young, but you already know how to read people."
The child was teased by her like this, and the corners of her mouth actually rose into a smile.
Feng Yu Heng also laughed. As she laughed, she heard Fen Dai, who was standing not too far away, say: "Second sister really knows how to be a child! Why don't I take this child back and raise him? You play with swords and spears all day long. If you can't give birth to a child in the future, in any case, you can at least have an adopted child. "
Once Fen Dai spoke, the child's smiling face became gloomy once more. Smirking, he immediately prepared to start crying again.
At this time, Huang Quan also came over. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng holding the child, he quickly went forward to receive him. Feng Yu Heng coaxed the crying child and did not allow Huang Quan to hold him. She only said to her: "Go stand guard at the entrance of the palace. Once Prince Yu comes out, have him quickly come over to the Feng family's side. Just say that the Feng family's fourth young miss misses him very much. He can't not be here for a while."
Huang Quan glared at Feng Yu Heng. Seeing that Fen Dai's face turned a little pale upon hearing Feng Yu Heng's words, she could not help but remind her: "Fourth young miss is certain that she misses His Ninth Highness? Then this servant will go wait at the entrance of the palace. Just now, this servant also heard what fourth young miss said. In a while, this servant will pass on everything to his Highness. Fourth young miss, take care of yourself. "
After Huang Quan finished speaking, she turned to leave. Fen Dai quickly called out to her in fear: "Wait a moment! Who misses His Ninth Highness? What would I miss him for? I'm talking about Feng … I'm talking about second sister. You and this child hit it off very well. "
Feng Yu Heng coaxed him a bit, and the child no longer wanted to cry. His small hand grabbed Feng Yu Heng's lapel and refused to let go. Feng Yu Heng glanced at Fen Dai and expressionlessly said: "I just heard you say that you wanted to drown him?"
Fen Dai did not admit it: "I did not say that. It was the wet nurse who could not hold the child. You also saw it yourself. He almost fell to the ground. It had nothing to do with me."
Feng Yu Heng nearly laughed, "You and Feng Jin Yuan really are father and son. It seems that you are indeed related."
"What do you mean?" Fen Dai was unable to understand her second sister's words.
Feng Yu Heng continued to say to her: "What I mean is that you are the same as Feng Jin Yuan. You are always unable to remember where you fell. Making the same mistake over and over again, you really are brainless."
"You …" Fen Dai was driven mad with anger; however, she truly did not dare do anything. She could only stand in place and stomp her feet.
Feng Yu Heng, however, reminded her: "Regardless of whether or not this child is related to Feng Jin Yuan, he is indeed your younger brother from the same mother. Even if you do not pity him, you should not kill him. Don't think that I did not hear what you just said. Feng Jin Yuan killed his wife and daughter. You have learned 100% of his coldness. "
Fen Dai was rendered speechless by her words; however, she repeatedly shook her head and resolutely said: "He is not my younger brother! I do not have this sort of younger brother! "
"Taking revenge on a child is not something to be proud of." Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow and said: "He also could not decide on his own birth. Han shi, there is nobody that wants him to be born in this world in this manner. If you want to vent your anger, if you have the ability, go strangle that shameless mother of yours and that bastard in the play troupe. "
After she finished speaking, she took a few steps forward and placed the child in the wet nurse's hands, coldly ordering: "Hold him well and raise him well. If there is even the slightest mistake, this imperial daughter will definitely not forgive him."
Leaving Fen Dai's courtyard, Feng Yu Heng went over to Yao shi's side. Huang Quan recalled the child from earlier and could not help but ask her: "Young miss, do you think that fourth young miss Feng will secretly do something to that child?"
Feng Yu Heng helplessly tapped her head, "This matter was indeed something that I overlooked. Have one of his Highness' hidden guards go over. Keep an eye on him. It's just a child. Do not let him be harmed by Feng Fen Dai for no reason. "
Because Yao shi's injuries were too severe, she could not be moved. She could only remain in the Feng manor for the time being. It was not that Feng Yu Heng had not thought of using her space to bring Yao shi away, but with so many pairs of eyes watching, it was truly too easy for something to go wrong. Helpless, she could only take turns watching over her with Yao Xian. They did not dare relax for a single moment.
The anesthetic that had been given to Yao shi wore off the next day, but the pain from the wound was a little unbearable. Under Yao Xian's suggestion, she was given another dose of anesthetic. The next time she woke up, she should feel much better.
Feng Jin Yuan, however, woke up the next night. Song Kang went over to take a look. When he returned, he reported to Feng Yu Heng: "As I see it, he's healing a little too quickly. Although there is no hope for the critical areas, the wound on his lower abdomen does not seem to be healing normally. It should be that someone gave him some sort of miraculous medicine."
After Feng Yu Heng heard this, she could not help but snort coldly, "Qian Zhou sent a hidden guard to stay at Feng Jin Yuan's side. Although it's not to the extent that they will not leave his side even when he sleeps, they can't just watch as Feng Jin Yuan is seriously injured. If they want to treat him, let them treat him. "
Song Kang nodded. Then, he thought of something and smiled for a while. Then, he said, "Speaking of which, he did wake up once at noon today. However, when he heard that his body was crippled, he fainted from anger."
Feng Yu Heng also laughed. She could think of Feng Jin Yuan's cowardly appearance. Even if he did not die of illness, he would die of fear.
That night, after Xuan Tianming returned from the palace, he came to the Feng family to accompany her. Feng Yu Heng told him many times that there was no need to accompany her, but the prince was not at ease. He said: "If I don't come, what would you do if someone bullies you?"
Feng Yu Heng was stumped. That was also true. Xuan Tianming could whip people without a care, but if she ran into someone like Fen Dai, she could not just beat them up like she had done to Ru Jia.
She waved her hand: "If you want to stay, then stay."
With Xuan Tianming here, he could keep her company. The two sat in Yao shi's room and chatted. Xuan Tianming told her: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because of this year's flood, the citizens have not yet recovered from the disaster. The national treasury has allocated a large amount of money to the provinces and counties. Father Emperor has also canceled the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
Hearing him finish speaking, Feng Yu Heng suddenly realized: "It's actually the Mid-Autumn Festival again." She still vaguely remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last year. Not long after she had arrived in the Dashun court, the Feng family was at its fiercest. Regardless of whether it was Feng Chen Yu or Feng Yu Heng, they both had an unwillingness to admit defeat in their bones, and they appeared to be filled with vitality.
If it were not for the girls of this era maturing too early and their methods being too cruel, it would be normal for sisters in their teens to have disagreements. Even in the twenty-first century, it was very common for sisters to quarrel with each other. Today, you made me cry. Tomorrow, I'll scratch your face. This kind of thing happened several times a day. Most of the time, adults would just laugh it off and scold both sides. The next day, it was possible that the two children would reconcile and would still be the closest of sisters.
But in the Dashun court, this was not possible. Feng Chen Yu fought with her, and what she fought with was their lives. Every move was fatal, and every step was frightening. Even if she had a heart of love for her sisters, she would not be given this chance.
Fighting step by step, in the blink of an eye, over a year had passed. The Feng family was in tatters, yet Feng Jin Yuan still refused to admit defeat. She really did not know how this person's brain worked.
She sighed heavily and said to Xuan Tianming: "I will also provide some money. As a doctor, I hope that everyone can live healthily. Unfortunately, my power is limited. The villages outside the city will be funded by me. Also, I have divided many provinces into Hundred Herb Halls. I will open them one by one. I have also prepared a large stockpile of pills in my space. When the time comes, I guarantee that every Hundred Herb Hall will be able to buy them. "
Xuan Tianming nodded, and a look of expectation appeared in his eyes. He understood the effects of those pills too well. Compared to the bitter medical soups he had drunk in the past, they really were miraculous.
The two chatted for a while. During this time, they talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. When they talked about something interesting, they would laugh for a while. But this laughter was a little heavy. With internal and external troubles, Dashun's situation was not as relaxed as Emperor Tianwu made it seem.
The next morning, Xuan Tianming went to court. Yao shi woke up at noon. After waking up, the first thing she said was "Feng Jin Yuan, did he die?"
