Granny Gui saying "untainted body" did not mean much to outsiders, but to Feng Yu Heng and the others, it was as though they had been struck by lightning. She even saw that Lu Song had clearly revealed a look of surprise. Although he immediately hid it, there was still a trace of it.
Seeing Feng Yu Heng's puzzled expression, granny Gui had a helpless expression. Looking at her, she wanted to say something; however, she was stopped by Feng Yu Heng. She just turned and said to Yao Shu: "It was eldest cousin that personally accompanied her. Thinking about it, eldest cousin should be clear on the whole story. Now that Lu Cuo's case has been concluded, and the honor that the palace has bestowed upon her has been examined, the joyous occasion is still a joyous occasion. I trust that grandfather, uncle and aunty will not continue to pursue this matter."
Yao Shu looked gratefully at Feng Yu Heng then brought Lu Yao to face the members of the Yao family. Both of them then kneeled. Lu Yao took the initiative to kowtow to everyone in the Yao family and said: "Daughter-in-law married in today; however, who knew that the servants at my side would cause so much trouble for the manor. It was such that this banquet ended unhappily. It was all daughter-in-law's fault." Her words were sincere, and her gaze was also very sincere, "Daughter-in-law knows that her sins are grave, but from this day forward, I will definitely take care of parents-in-law and grandfather. I will respect uncle and aunty and love my younger siblings. I will treat the Yao family as my own family. I beg the elders to forgive Yao 'er's mistakes today." After saying this, she kowtowed once more.
The members of the Yao family had always been good people. Aside from Yao Xian, who was a bit calculating, Lu Yao's words caused everyone else's hearts to soften. Even Yao Jing Jun could not bear to continue reprimanding her. Yao Shu also knelt with Lu Yao. He did not say anything, but his attitude was clear. He had made up his mind to share his wife's trials and tribulations.
Xu shi was the first to be unable to endure. Taking a couple steps forward, she helped Lu Yao up. Patting the back of her hand, she said: "Good child, don't cry. Today's matters cannot be blamed on you. When a girl goes out, her elder brother should personally send her off. Because your elder brother was out of the province, he could not send you off. Rushing to the manor to see you is reasonable. As for that servant's matter, good child, listen to mother. When using servants, one needs to be obedient. Although one that knows martial arts is good, it's inevitable that she will be bold. It's also easy to cause trouble for her master.... "
Lu Yao was filled with gratitude. While she nodded, she wiped away tears. But right after, she heard Yao Shu say from the side, "Not only is that girl who knows martial arts bad, your wet nurse and the other girl should also be sent back to the Lu family!"
Lu Yao was startled. The two servants were still kneeling on the ground. Hearing Yao Shu say this, they desperately shook their heads, wanting to fight for themselves. But Yao Shu fiercely flicked his sleeve, his mind set: "The two of you don't have good intentions. You didn't reflect on yourself when something happened and instead poured a basin of dirty water onto Heng meimei. . This is also because our younger sister Heng has the ability to not let you bully her. If it was anyone else, would they not have been wrongly accused? On your first day in the manor, not only did you not help your young miss accumulate merit, you did this sort of immoral thing. This sort of person is not worthy of staying in our Yao manor! " After saying this, he turned around and looked at Lu Song, who was still kneeling at Xuan Tianhua's feet. He raised his voice and asked: "Prime minister Lu, does my lord agree with what this lowly official has said?"
What could Lu Song say at this time? Although he was a standard first rank official, in front of the Yao family, this standard first rank official was not considered much. With Yao Xian, that person without a title, standing there, could a prime minister like him raise his head?
Thus he quickly agreed with Yao Shu: "Son-in-law is right, but in the future, you can no longer call me prime minister Lu. You must call me father-in-law."
Yao Shu nodded and did not say anything, but when he looked back, he deliberately avoided Feng Yu Heng and Yao Xian's gazes. He knew that the smartest people in this family were his cousin Feng Yu Heng and his grandfather Yao Xian. Since this matter had already come to this, he hoped that it could pass peacefully.
Seeing that the Yao family and Lu Family's matter had already been resolved, and they had already made peace, the Yao manor immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare new dishes. The banquet still needed to continue. They could not allow this matter to become awkward. Moreover, a life had just been lost. It would be best to use a happy occasion to wash it away.
Granny Gui excused herself and had Feng Yu Heng personally send her out of the manor. Only when they were far away from the noise inside the manor did granny Gui pull Feng Yu Heng over to the side and apologize: "Imperial daughter, this old servant has committed a crime."
Feng Yu Heng asked: "Is granny referring to Lu Yao's virginity?"
Granny Gui nodded, "Not to hide it from imperial daughter, but this old servant lied. That young miss from the Lu Family is not a virgin at all. Not only is she not a virgin, her body has clearly been ruined since she was young. Just now, when she was being examined, the Yao family's eldest young master was waiting outside the screen. That young miss from the Lu Family also has some ideas. Right after this old servant finished examining her, she immediately went around the screen and kneeled to the Yao family's eldest young master. This old servant was chased outside the room to wait. I could faintly hear the Lu Family's young miss crying the entire time. At first, the eldest young master angrily shouted a few times before softening. I don't know what the Lu Family's young miss said, but when the eldest young master called this old servant in, he took the initiative to beg this old servant not to speak of this matter. He even said that this matter was related to the Yao family's face, and the Yao family was not the imperial family. Speaking of, this matter was related to the Yao family's own matters. It was unrelated to the imperial family's reputation, thus this old servant had to give him some face and not allow this matter to spread. It would cause the Yao family to lose face. There was nothing this old servant could do and could only do as the eldest young master said. Would imperial daughter please forgive me. "
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly. This favor was something that Yao Shu had personally asked for. What could she blame him for. In the end, this matter was related to the Yao family. She was someone with a different surname. She was just a relative. As long as she did her best, it was fine as long as she let them know what she needed to know. As for whether she would be chased out or kept, that would be up to Yao Shu.
"Granny has worked hard." She grabbed granny Gui's hand, "This trip was already something that did not go according to the rules. For granny to be willing to make this trip, Heng is already very grateful. How could there be any need to mention forgiveness."
"Hah! Imperial daughter, for you to say it like this really is too much for this old servant. " Once these words came out, a banknote was stuffed into her hand at practically the same time, as Feng Yu Heng said: "Many thanks for granny's hard work. Since cousin does not want this matter to spread, would granny help mediate a bit."
How could the granny not understand what she meant, as she quickly said: "Imperial daughter, don't worry. The Yao family's daughter-in-law received glory from the palace. That's why she was able to endure this body inspection. This is the glory of the Yao family."
Feng Yu Heng nodded in satisfaction. Only then did she have the carriage send granny Gui back.
Turning around, she found that Yao Xian had also come out and was standing not too far behind her. Feng Yu Heng sighed and walked over to tell Yao Xian about what had happened. She then expressed her own thoughts: "Grandfather, we can't do anything about this matter. Yao Shu chose this path himself, so we can only let him continue down it. It's just that Lu Yao has entered the family. We must keep an eye on her. We must not allow her to stir up trouble in the future and cause others to be bullied for no reason. "
"Hmph." Yao Xian's expression was very ugly, as he could not help but curse: "What sort of face is this? How can the Yao family's children be so stupid? With that sort of girl entering the family, will the Yao family still be able to live peacefully in the future? He might have been soft-hearted for a moment, but he ended up causing the entire Yao family to be on edge. He really does not live up to expectations. He really does not live up to expectations! " While he was cursing Yao Shu, he also sighed with emotion about this era: "I really don't know what sort of brains the children of the ancient era have. Do they want face and not substance? For him to marry that sort of girl into the family, isn't it disgusting? "
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, "Grandfather, if it's like this, then you really are muddle-headed."
"Hm?" Yao Xian was unable to react for a while, "What am I muddle-headed about?"
Feng Yu Heng said: "Muddle-Headed about this era! It's not that there's something wrong with the brains of the children of the ancient era. Think about it, if this happened in the 21st century, would it still be considered a problem? "
Yao Xian was startled and immediately understood what she meant. That's right! In the ancient era, there was still the matter of physical examination, but with the development of the 21st century, who would care whether or not the bride was a virgin? People had already lost that concept a long time ago. The modern era paid attention to the freedom of love and freedom of marriage. Testing marriages was even more popular. Lu Yao had just been born in the wrong era. Looking at this matter from the perspective of the modern era, if Lu Yao's heart was not right, whether or not she was a virgin, it really was not something that he should care about.
Thinking like this, Yao Xian felt much more at ease; however, he heard Feng Yu Heng mutter to herself: "I really don't know if the development of this era is good or bad."
Yao Xian smiled bitterly and pulled her back into the manor.
When they returned, Lu Song had already stood up from the ground. Perhaps it was because he had been kneeling for a long time, but since he had come, it would not be good for him to leave immediately. He still hurried over to Yao Jing Jun's side to apologize.
Feng Yu Heng quietly said to Yao Xian: "The people of the Yao family are easily persuaded, and their hearts are too good. What I am most worried about is that when Lu Yao causes trouble in the future, the people of the Yao family will not be able to deal with it."
There was nothing that Yao Xian could do, "Everyone has their own fate. If the people of the Yao family can use this to grow, then the humiliation of Lu Yao entering the manor will not be in vain. If it is so easily taken care of by a little girl, then even if the Yao family thrives, it will be harmed in the future. But don't worry. After living in Huang Zhou for many years, the current Yao family is no longer the Yao family of the past. At the very least, if something like the three of you were to happen again, the Yao family will have the ability to protect the people that should be protected. We will also have the ability to fight back. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded. That's good. "The two did not say anything else, as they entered the main courtyard one after the other.
Feng Yu Heng naturally went to speak with Xuan Tianming, but Yao Xian had already been stopped by Lu Song. Lu Song was very respectful to Yao Xian. In addition, the fault was in the Lu manor today, so he did not dare act rashly. He respectfully apologized to Yao Xian. Only when he saw Yao Xian nod in agreement did he let out a sigh of relief.
The gifts that should be compensated had been compensated, but he could not leave immediately. He looked over at the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua. After all, it was the seventh prince who had called him over today. Now that he had collected the corpses and compensated the gifts, it was time for him to return. But before he left, he still had to greet Xuan Tianhua.
So Lu Song walked forward and respectfully bowed again. He carefully asked, "Your Highness Prince Chun, what do you think of this matter? Are you satisfied with this humble subject's performance?"
Xuan Tianhua also gave him face and nodded.
Lu Song's heart finally settled. He smiled and said, "Then this humble subject can rest assured. Speaking of which, this humble subject is ashamed of the Yao family. In the future, this humble subject will be closer to the Yao family."
Xuan Tianhua did not say anything about this. He only reminded him, "The main thing is that your Lu Family's people framed Princess Ji 'an. I am very angry about this matter."
"Uh …" Lu Song knew that this was bad. "Your Highness Prince Chun means … this humble subject will personally kneel and apologize to Princess Ji 'an!"
"Apologize?" Xuan Tianhua opened his mouth and said, "That's a good idea. Since you want to compensate, do you plan to cede land or pay compensation?"
