The master and servants returned to the front yard, Feng Yu Heng kept her head down and did not speak, her mind heavy. Even Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were repeatedly thinking about the scene they had just seen.
It matched Feng Yu Heng's suspicions, the two of them also felt that there was something off about the brother and sister pair, but what exactly was wrong, they could not put their finger on it.
As they walked, a young servant ran along the small path in a panic, almost bumping into Huang Quan. Huang Quan frowned and asked: "What happened to make you so anxious? Which courtyard are you from? "
The young servant was stunned, raising her head and seeing that it was Feng Yu Heng, she quickly opened the hand that was hidden in her sleeve, it turned out that she had grabbed a few pieces of pastries. She said: "Replying to Young Miss, This Servant is taking care of Eldest Young Master's courtyard. Just now, the new Madam's wet nurse wanted This Servant to go to the kitchen to find a few pieces of pastries, saying that she was worried that the new Madam would be too hungry and would not be able to last until Young Master returns to his room at night. This Servant was thinking that if too many people saw this, the new Madam would be embarrassed, so This Servant was in a hurry to return and accidentally bumped into this Miss. Would Young Miss please not blame This Servant. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, the new Madam secretly eating two pieces of pastries, this was reasonable, so she did not say anything, letting the servant go back.
The front yard was still lively, Yao Shu would be asked to stay for a long time no matter which table he went to. She quietly returned to her seat, just as she sat down, someone suddenly patted her shoulder from behind. She turned around to look, it was Xuan Tiange.
"When did you come?" She pulled Xuan Tiange to sit at the side, "I did not see you during the wedding ceremony just now."
"I just arrived." Xuan Tiange said: "I was delayed by something at the manor for a while and did not see the most lively time. How is it? Is the new Madam beautiful? "
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly. "Can't you have some common sense? The bride is covered with a bridal veil today. How can you tell if she is beautiful or not?"
Xuan Tian Ge smirked, "Just thinking about it, it's obvious that they won't be any better. The Lu Family's seedlings are just like that. I really can't understand how your Yao family's men would take an interest in a girl from the Lu Family. I heard that it was the groom himself who was willing?"
In this regard, Feng Yu Heng also did not understand. She could only vaguely say, "It's most likely that they like each other."
Xuan Tian Ge shrugged and did not continue with this topic. Instead, she asked her: "I saw your fourth sister come, why did I not see Xiang Rong?"
Feng Yu Heng told her: "She should have come, but in the morning, Xiang Rong sent someone to deliver a message, saying that His Highness the Fourth Prince had an embroidery that could not be embroidered well. She was called to Ping Palace early in the morning, and no matter what is said, she will not be released. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the banquet. "
"Hah!" The flames of gossip in Xuan Tian Ge's heart burned brightly: "Don't you feel that fourth brother seems to like Xiang Rong?"
Feng Yu Heng was startled and recalled the time that Xiang Rong had been humiliated by Lu Yao. His Highness the Fourth Prince really did vent some anger for her. But to say that he liked her … "That's not too likely, right?"
"How is that not possible!" Xuan Tian Ge was already preparing to speak, "You were not in the capital a few days ago, so you don't know. Fourth brother was very serious about learning embroidery. From time to time, he would call the Feng family's third young miss to Ping Palace to ask for advice. After asking for advice, he would even ask her to stay for dinner. Not only this, but he would also take the initiative to go to the Feng manor to give the third young miss tuition fees. Although he was thrown out a few times, he could not stand against the Ping Palace's reluctance to part. Like this, Xiang Rong accepted it. Say, if he did not have a good impression of Xiang Rong, would he be so diligent? "
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, "He's already been imprisoned, yet he still has money? Hasn't it all been confiscated? "
Xuan Tian Ge smirked, "Did you not hear? A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. In any case, he is a prince. The confiscation was just for show. Uncle Emperor would not not give him money to spend. The Ping Palace has been established for many years. How could it collapse so easily. "
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, "But I fear that Xiang Rong's thoughts are not with His Highness the Fourth Prince."
"Hah! That's not something that we should worry about. As I see it, Xiang Rong is not very resistant to him. Who knows, they might really succeed. " Xuan Tian Ge snickered, but after laughing for a while, she became a little worried, "No matter what is said, fourth brother is still locked up. I don't know if it will be good or bad for Xiang Rong if he truly takes it to heart. Xiang Rong is your younger sister. If you want her to marry well, there are naturally ways. "
Feng Yu Heng asked her: "What do you think would be better?"
Xuan Tian Ge was stunned. Thinking a little, she said: "The one with the most noble status would naturally be the princes, but princes …" There really were not many princes left that were decent. The eldest prince and second prince were old, and they had many wives and concubines in their palaces. If Xiang Rong was based on her maternal family's status, she really would not have much capital, but with Feng Yu Heng's status, there was nobody that could look down on her. The third prince was already dead, the fourth prince was locked up, the fifth prince was going to marry the Feng family's fourth child, the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince were both outside, and the Ninth Prince belonged to Feng Yu Heng. Calculating it like this, there was only the seventh prince left.
Xuan Tian Ge facepalmed: "It seems that the princes aren't that reliable either!"
Feng Yu Heng helplessly shook her head and said: "I have never believed that marrying someone of high status is marrying well. Just like your ninth brother, if he insists on taking in a concubine, I will not marry him."
"Hm?" Xuan Tian Ge was stunned, "You mean to say that you want Xiang Rong to find a man who will treat her wholeheartedly and will only marry her for the rest of his life? Heng Cheng, you need to know that this sort of man is hard to find in this world! "
"It's not that harsh. After all, everyone's thoughts are different, but it's still based on her own thoughts. It's best if she can marry someone she loves." She patted Xuan Tian Ge, "Alright, don't study other people. As for you, you're a few years older than us. No matter how much His Majesty dotes on you, he probably can't keep you, right? You've already become an old lady. "
Once this was mentioned, Xuan Tian Ge became gloomy and said unhappily: "I still don't want to marry." As she spoke, she sighed, "I'm afraid that it's not Uncle Emperor keeping me. It's just that he really hasn't thought of how I should marry. After all, I am the only princess in the Dashun dynasty. It's hard to avoid the path of a political marriage. It's just that how and where it will go is still unknown. "
The topic became heavy, and the two did not want to talk about it. They deliberately teased Zirui and Xuan Feiyu. After talking about Bai Fu Rong for a while, they saw that Yao Shu's wine was about to reach them. At this time, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the small path that led to the inner courtyard. A few servants ran out in a panic and looked around. In the end, their gazes landed on the table that Feng Yu Heng was sitting at.
This table was filled with the masters of the Yao family. Two maidservants jogged over, their faces filled with horror. One of them had even begun crying.
At this time, Xu shi was sitting and could not help but frown and scold them: "It's a joyous day. What are you doing?"
Because of the sudden shout, at this time, most of the people present looked over. One of the maidservants, who could still speak, said to Xu shi: "Head Mistress, someone, someone died in the garden!"
"What?" Xu shi was extremely shocked. This sudden news caused her to be unable to control her emotions. Her voice became a little louder, causing the people that had not noticed earlier to look over.
Feng Yu Heng heard this news clearly and slightly furrowed her brow. It seemed that she had guessed something and quickly ordered a servant at her side: "Wang Chuan, follow them over to take a look." After saying this, she gently placed a hand on the back of Xu shi's hand and calmly said: "Aunty, do not rush. We'll talk about it after the investigation." After saying this, she waved to the servants that had screamed earlier. Two more servants came over, and she asked one of them: "Tell me in detail. What happened?"
In the end, the servants were braver than the servants. Hearing Feng Yu Heng ask, they quickly told her everything that they had seen: "These servants were walking around the manor normally and found a corpse in the small garden that leads to the bridal courtyard. It was a male corpse, and it looked unfamiliar. It was not someone from the manor."
"Oh?" She already had a guess; however, she did not think that if it was that person, how could he have died in the blink of an eye? "Were there any injuries on his body?"
The servant nodded, "There was blood in his throat. It seemed that his throat had been pierced."
"What happened?" At this time, the head master, Yao Jing Jun, also walked forward. The servant recounted the matter once more, and Yao Jing Jun became furious. Turning around, he walked in the direction of the incident.
Feng Yu Heng saw this and could not hide it any longer. She simply supported Xu shi and stood up with everyone else, all of them going in that direction.
When the guests heard that something had happened, they naturally went to join in on the fun. Aside from the more cowardly madams, young misses and children, everyone else went to the inner courtyard.
Along the way, Wang Chuan returned and nodded to Feng Yu Heng. She had an understanding of the situation.
Not long later, they arrived at the scene of the incident. Sure enough, the man that had come to find Lu Yao had already become a corpse. He lay quietly on the grass, and blood continued to flow from his throat.
The members of the Yao family went forward to take a look. Xuan Tianming leaned over to Feng Yu Heng's side and quietly asked: "Do you know this person?"
Feng Yu Heng also quietly said to him: "If my guess is correct, it should be the eldest son of the Lu Family."
"The eldest son of the Lu Family?" Xuan Tianming did not have any impression of this person. After thinking for a while, he shook his head; however, he was also puzzled and asked: "Why would he be here? And he died in the Yao family? "
Everyone was pondering this question and discussing it. As for Yao Jing Jun, he had already spoken up and asked everyone: "May I ask everyone, do you recognize this person?"
A bold man leaned forward and looked carefully. Finally, someone pointed at the corpse and said in shock: "This … this is the eldest son of the Lu Family, Lu Cuo!"
"Lu Cuo?" Yao Jing Jun had also heard of this person. After all, the Yao and Lu families were connected by marriage. He was very clear on what sort of people were in the other family. It was just that Lu Cuo had been out of the province for many years, thus he had never met him. At this time, seeing that someone had identified the deceased as Lu Cuo, he felt even more puzzled. "Servants." He gave the order in a heavy voice: "Go to the bridal courtyard. Invite all of the servants that the new madam brought from the Lu manor over."
Very quickly, Lu Yao's two maidservants and wet nurse were brought over. When they saw the corpse on the grass, all of them turned pale with fright. One of the maidservants nearly fainted from fear.
Yao Jing Jun asked in a heavy voice: "Do you recognize this person?"
The wet nurse was the most steady, quickly going forward to reply: "Replying to master, this person … is the eldest son of the Lu manor. His name is Lu Cuo."
Upon hearing that the Lu Family had confirmed the identity of the deceased, Yao Shu was a little anxious and could not help but ask: "Wasn't it said that the eldest son of the Lu Family was out of the province and could not come back? His name was not on the guest list today. Why did he suddenly appear here? "
The servants of the Lu Family were unable to reply for a while, but the wet nurse lowered her eyes and thought quickly. She secretly set her sights on Feng Yu Heng …
