Lu Yao's request seemed absurd, but the two had already bowed to heaven and earth. They were officially husband and wife, thus it could not be considered excessive.
Yao Shu was a kind person. Seeing that the true culprit behind Lu Cuo's death had already been found, although he still felt a bit of a knot in his heart about Lu Yao's group framing Feng Yu Heng, she was still his wife. They had already bowed to heaven and earth, and the government office had a record of it. No matter what was said, he should protect her a bit. Thus he did not say another word and helped Lu Yao along with granny Gui in the direction of the bridal courtyard.
With this sort of thing happening at today's wedding, nobody had any interest in continuing. But the people were all gossipy. The results of Lu Yao's body examination had not yet come out, thus they were in no rush to leave. They just sipped the tea that the servants brought over. At the same time, they wanted to see the joke of Prime Minister Lu Song, who was still kneeling at His Highness the seventh prince's feet.
Feng Zirui leaned against his older sister's side and quietly said: "Cousin-in-law really looks very fierce. I really can't figure out what eldest cousin sees in her."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "You're so young, yet you know quite a bit." But after thinking about it, didn't the children of this era mature early? Thinking back to when she had just returned to the capital, Xiang Rong and Fen Dai were only ten years old. Xiang Rong was still a bit more innocent, but Fen Dai already knew how to seduce Xuan Tianming. Turning back to look at the nine-year-old Zirui, she did not dare treat him as a child.
Looking back at Lu Song, she saw him kneeling with his head lowered. His old face could no longer be maintained. A dignified standard first rank official was kneeling like this in front of so many officials. If this was the court, it would be fine, but this was just a residence. What sort of situation was this?
But no matter how much he complained in his heart or how much he could not maintain his expression, it was pointless. The person that had him kneel was the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua. Normally, he was polite and kind to everyone; however, everyone knew that he was someone that could not be angered. Today, the Lu Family had hit a knife's edge. Lu Song thought to himself that this would not be easy to get through.
Feng Yu Heng turned her head sideways and said to Xuan Tianming, who had been staying by her side the whole time: "Guess, how is the Seventh Brother going to torment that Prime Minister Lu?"
Xuan Tianming shrugged. "I don't know, but he'll suffer. If he angers I, he'll just be whipped. However, if he angers the Seventh Brother, anything can happen. Let's see how good Lu Song is. We'll have to see what will happen after the test results come out. "
At this time, Xuan Tian Ge also came over and said to the two in a very gossipy manner: "Say, if Lu Yao is not a virgin, what will happen?" While she spoke, she looked seriously at Feng Yu Heng, "Heng, will the Yao family accept that sort of granddaughter-in-law?"
Feng Yu Heng sneered, "If she really does not have any sense of shame and loses her virginity before marriage, this imperial daughter will have to clean up the Yao family today. Even if Eldest Cousin hates me from now on, I still have to be the bad guy. " At the very least, she could not allow Yao Yao to feel disgusted every day. She did not have too much affection for the other people in this manor. After all, they had not interacted much. They were all good people, but when it came to affection, she could only rely on the blood of the original owner. It just so happened that Yao shi did not live up to expectations, which caused this blood to become a bit colder. But with Yao Xian present, everything was different. They were relatives of two lifetimes. Even if their bones were broken, their tendons were still connected. That was an existence that nobody could replace.
"I just like this personality of yours!" Xuan Tian Ge praised her from the bottom of her heart, "Only like this will you not be bullied by others."
Xuan Tianming snorted coldly, "Do you think that you are that much better than her? I heard that when we were in the North, the young master of Lord Liao's family came to propose marriage. You even threw out the gifts that he brought out of the manor. "
"Tsk." Xuan Tian Ge expressed her disdain, "Wasn't it all learned from you guys. I don't know which elder brother taught me when I was young. If you run into someone that you don't like and still come to pester you, don't hold back. Just press them to the ground and give them a beating first. In any case, I gave him some face and did not really give him a beating. "
Xuan Tianming smiled bitterly. Was this not what he had taught her when she was young? The old Xuan family only had this one girl in this generation. There would always be times when the nine young men disagreed with each other when it came to politics, but they only doted on this younger sister. Thinking about it a little more, Xuan Tian Ge had reached a marriageable age, but as a princess, and the only princess of the Dashun court, how much freedom did she have?
In an instant, the three of them thought of this, and the atmosphere also became heavy. Zirui saw that something was not right and took the initiative to pull Xuan Tian Ge's hand, saying softly: "Sister Tian Ge, why don't you also marry our cousin! We still have so many older cousins, and all of them are good men. The Yao family is very good. If you marry over, you will not be bullied. "
Xuan Tian Ge let out a "pft" and laughed. Pinching Zirui's chubby cheeks, she said: "How can This Princess be bullied."
Feng Yu Heng also laughed, "It's already good enough that she doesn't bully others."
As they spoke, they saw Feng Fendai walk towards them. Following that, the Fifth Prince's worried gaze followed.
Speaking of which, the Fifth Prince Xuan Tian Yan also worried quite a bit with Fendai, especially when he saw Feng Fendai walk over with a look of wanting to cause trouble. Xuan Tian Yan even wanted to stand up and pull her back. But in the end, there were too many people and he did not really charge forward.
At this time, Fendai had already arrived. First, she saluted the Ninth Prince and Xuan Tian Ge. She then said to Zirui: "Younger Brother has returned to the capital but did not go to the Feng manor to play. Fourth Sister really missed you."
Zirui was very courteous in front of people and immediately saluted Fendai, respectfully calling out: "Fourth Sister." The words that came out of his mouth, however, did not lose face in the slightest: "If Fourth Sister wants to have Zirui go to the Feng manor to play, then you need to choose a good day. Zirui has prepared a gift and will formally visit. But if you want to go home to take a look, you can go anytime and anywhere. "
These words caused Fendai to lose her temper. In her heart, she repeatedly muttered to herself that like sister, like brother. This Feng Zirui's sharp tongue was becoming more and more similar to his sister's. However, she did not know where Yao shi had gone wrong to give birth to these two freaks. Thinking of Yao shi's weak personality, how could it be that she did not have anything to do with this pair of siblings! But she then recalled how Yao shi had stabbed Feng Jin Yuan and knew that she had just not exploded. If she exploded, she would have directly used a knife.
She calmed herself down. Her goal in walking over was naturally not to show concern for Zirui. Instead, she had come to disgust Feng Yu Heng. At this time, she deliberately looked around then feigned surprise and asked: "The Yao manor's eldest young master is getting married. Why has madam Yao not come? She is the eldest young master's aunt! " Looking again at Feng Yu Heng, the smile on her face was filled with ill intentions, "Could it be that second sister did not have time to visit madam Yao after returning to the capital? This would be second sister's fault. In any case, that is your mother. "
Xuan Tianming turned around and did not want to pay attention to Fendai. Women bickering was truly annoying. Fortunately, his Heng Heng would never suffer a loss; otherwise, he would have had to take care of it. He also did not mind having the Feng family's fourth young miss completely shut her mouth.
But when he turned around, he just happened to see the fifth prince looking in his direction with an apologetic expression. Xuan Tianming looked away and did not continue to look. He did not need any sort of apology. If apologies were of any use, what was the point of having a whip in his hand? If his wife did not suffer any grievances, everything would be fine. Once she was bullied, even if he had to destroy the heavens and the earth, he would get revenge for his wife.
Once Fendai's words came out, Feng Yu Heng did not rush to reply. She very steadily picked up her cup of tea and drank a few sips. As for Fendai, she just stood there awkwardly.
Finally, when Feng Yu Heng came back to her senses, she said: "Fourth sister is so concerned about mother. Thinking about it, it seems that you still remember the old sentiments! Second sister does not know how to thank you. How about this, after the banquet is over, you can come with me to the Yao family's other courtyard to pay a visit! A few days ago, mother was still talking about wanting to eat grapes from Fan Jiang. Thinking about it, the fifth prince's palace should not be lacking in them. Fourth sister should go and ask for some. That way, you won't have to pay a visit empty-handed. "
Her voice was not quiet, and the fifth prince was only three steps away from her. He heard every single word that Feng Yu Heng said. It would have been better if he had not been mentioned. Now that he was mentioned, he had no choice but to express his position: "Madam Yao likes to eat red grapes. I will naturally be happy to send some. Fourth young miss, please go to the Li Palace in a while to get some. I will also go with you to pay a visit. Speaking of, you will also be related in the future. Thus, I should go and pay a visit. "
Fendai heard this. Not only did she not gain any advantage, she even suffered a loss. For a while, she was extremely angry and wanted to say something; however, the fifth prince was already giving her a look, warning her to not cause any more trouble.
Fendai did not listen to anyone else, but she still had to listen to the fifth prince. She immediately shut her mouth and turned around to leave. But when she saw that the womenfolk who were originally sitting at the same table as her were all looking in her direction, she knew that she didn't get any advantage. She didn't want to go back like this and be laughed at for no reason. Looking again, wasn't there an empty chair next to the Fifth Prince? She simply turned around and quickly sat down.
The fifth prince did not have any objections to this. In any case, with her at his side, he could give her some pointers. He just nodded apologetically to Feng Yu Heng. Only then did he turn around and quietly console Fendai.
At this time, it had been a while since Lu Yao had gone to the bridal courtyard to have her body examined. Everyone craned their necks to look in that direction; however, they still did not see her return. They could not help but quietly discuss this.
As for Feng Yu Heng, she also felt that something was a little off. Just as she was about to send someone to take a look, she heard someone suddenly say: "She's back!"
Raising her head to look, sure enough, Lu Yao's group had already returned with granny Gui. She could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
Xu shi personally went forward to greet granny Gui and respectfully invited her back into the hall. She, however, did not show any displeasure toward Lu Yao; however, she remained calm and indifferent. She no longer had the warmth that she had when a new daughter-in-law entered the manor.
At this time, everyone's gazes were focused on granny Gui. They were waiting for her to say something that would cause the entire capital to explode.
Feng Yu Heng, however, looked past granny Gui and toward Yao Shu. She saw that he was supporting Lu Yao with one hand and holding her shoulder with the other. It was as though he doted on her.
Her heart went "thunk." At this time, she heard granny Gui loudly announce the results of the examination: "Through this old servant's examination, the Yao family's young madam, Lu Yao, is … a virgin!"
