When Yao Shu called out "wife," Lu Yao, who was sleeping in the outer room, curled up the corners of her lips into a smile. She then replied: "Husband, is something the matter?" While she spoke, she heard the sound of footsteps coming their way. It was very light, as though he was not wearing shoes, but the breathing became heavier. This caused the entire room to be filled with a strange atmosphere.
Lu Yao was very satisfied to see Yao Shu walk over to her bed. Without any explanation, she picked him up and quickly returned to the wedding bed. Their clothes were removed, and the room was filled with warmth.
That night, Yao Shu seemed to have had a very long dream. In the dream, he and Lu Yao were extremely affectionate as newlyweds; however, it was also extremely unrealistic. In a daze, it seemed that he was a little unwilling, but if he acknowledged this unwillingness, he also felt a little guilty toward Lu Yao. With such a contradiction, he did not sleep well, as he sweated quite a bit. When he woke up the next morning, the mattress was completely soaked with sweat.
He was very awake, as though he had not slept at all. Although everything that had happened earlier seemed like a dream, he knew that it had truly happened. He just turned his head to look at Lu Yao and saw her sitting on the bed with a blanket draped over her. Looking at him, her face was filled with guilt.
"You're awake." It was Lu Yao that spoke up first. Her voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were red and swollen. It was very clear that she had been crying. Yao Shu wanted to ask her what had happened, but he heard Lu Yao say: "It was this concubine's fault. This concubine has sullied husband, and I feel very sad. But perhaps husband drank too much last night, and this concubine's strength is lacking. There was truly nothing that I could do. " The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became. In the end, she lowered her head and stared at the white cloth on the bed. Tears finally began to fall.
Yao Shu was a good person. He did not feel too much resentment toward Lu Yao. Before the medicine had taken effect, he had already thought things through. In addition to this, he did not know that the candle had been tampered with by someone, which caused him to be unable to endure. Hearing Lu Yao's words and seeing this scene, his heart began to ache.
He got up and hugged his sobbing newlywed wife in his arms. After comforting her for a while, he said to her, "Since you've married into the Yao Family, you're my wife. Whatever I do, it's only right. Don't worry, we won't talk about the past anymore. The Yao family is kind and no one will bully you again. " As he said this, he saw Lu Yao continue to stare at the piece of white cloth. He knew what she was worried about. He took out a sharp object and made a small cut on his forearm. After touching a few drops of blood on it, he was finally satisfied.
Lu Yao let out a sigh of relief; however, she was very good at acting as she hugged Yao Shu's arm and did not let go. She sucked on the wound for a while. Seeing that it was no longer bleeding, she finally let go with tears in her eyes. Yao Shu felt an indescribable heartache.
The young couple lay on the bed for a while longer, exchanging some intimate words before a maidservant came to wake them up. After washing up and getting dressed, she went to offer tea to her grandparents. The granny then handed the blood-stained white cloth to Xu shi. Seeing Xu shi nod with a smile, Lu Yao finally calmed down. It was just that when she looked at Yao Xian, she felt that his gaze was too sharp. In a trance, she could faintly see Feng Yu Heng's appearance, which caused her heart to tremble.
Lu Yao managed to get through this wedding without any mishaps; however, who knew that in the Lu manor, the third young miss, Lu Yan, was so angry that she nearly exploded. Her servant, Ru Yi, tried to console her and finally managed to calm her down this morning, but Lu Yan just could not understand, "There really are a lot of strange things in this world. Could it be that the granny in the palace was also bribed?"
Ru Yi sighed: "How could it be so easy to bribe someone from the palace! That granny has lived in the palace for the majority of her life. What has she not seen? Is she someone that can be bribed by a normal person? "
"Then that's strange!" Lu Yan brought up the old topic: "Lu Yao is clearly not a virgin. It's not like I don't know about the scandal between her and Lu Cuo. How could it be that she was tested to be a virgin? Could it be that the granny is too old, so old that she is no longer of any use. She is no longer able to do her job? "
In the end, Ru Yi was just a maidservant and could not say what was going on. She could only console her: "Let's just forget about it. Third young miss, don't get angry. Didn't master say that your future prospects will be even better. At most, she will be able to enjoy two years of glory. When that time comes, won't she still need to kneel and kowtow when she sees you?"
When this was mentioned, Lu Yan was a bit pleased with herself, but when she thought about what had happened the day before, she could not help but feel angry once more, "Good prospects? I fear that my good prospects will be ruined by her! The majority of the family's assets have been lost. Yesterday, I heard father say that the deeds that were given out were the best. The remaining ones are nothing. They're not even comparable to a pigsty. All of the good things have been lost. When I get married in the future, what sort of dowry will I have? In the past, father was focused on trying to get close to the Yao family; however, he never thought that this day would come, right? As I said, with that Feng Yu Heng present, who would be able to get any benefits from her? "
Speaking to this point, Ru Yi also trembled. She had also gone to the Feng manor the day before and naturally saw Princess Ji 'an. At a glance, sure enough, it was bitterly cold. It was truly frightening.
Not to mention Lu Yan being puzzled, but Lu Song and the Ge Clan did not sleep a wink over the matter of the body examination. The two could not understand what had happened. Thinking back to when they had trapped Lu Yao and Lu Cuo in their room, they had seen everything clearly. The bloodstains were still on the bed. How could it be that after the most authoritative granny in the palace had examined them, they had become a wall?
Everyone in the Lu Residence who knew about this matter could not understand it no matter how much they thought about it.
But no matter what, being able to get past this hurdle was a good thing. Lu Song still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it. Once that granny had said something else, not only would Lu Yao not have any chance of living, but his Lu Family would also suffer a calamity! So what if he was the standard first rank left prime minister. Others might not be able to see through him, but how could he not understand? It was fine compared to others, but compared to the Yao family, he really could not compare.
Lu Song sighed. The Ge Clan also sighed, but she was sighing about the deeds that her family had lost for no reason. Like this, when her own daughter got married in the future, what would she do!
The Lu Family was in a state of panic. In the imperial daughter's manor, Feng Yu Heng was personally sending craftsman Bai out. For the sake of ensuring craftsman Bai's safe return to the palace, Feng Yu Heng had him sit in her imperial carriage. She also had two hidden guards go with him. They agreed to meet again in a few days before entering the palace. Only then did she feel at ease and allow craftsman Bai to leave.
Just as the imperial carriage exited the alley, she turned her head and saw another carriage rushing over. In just a few steps, it stopped in front of the imperial daughter's manor. Following this, Feng Jin Yuan got out of the carriage. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng at the entrance, he let out a long sigh and said: "I was worried that you would not be at the manor, and your guards would not let me in."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "The guards did the right thing." She then curled her lips. Since they had run into each other, if father had something to say, he could come in.
She led Feng Jin Yuan all the way to the main hall, and Zirui just happened to run out. The two children met this irresponsible father together. Seeing that Feng Jin Yuan's eyes were fixed on Zirui, Feng Yu Heng could not help but gently cough and take the initiative to ask: "Father has come again today. Is there a matter?"
"Ah! There is! There is a matter! "Feng Jin Yuan replied while reaching into his pocket. Very quickly, he pulled out a banknote. "This is the tuition that father has prepared for Zirui. It's a total of 150 taels. Take a look."
"Oh?" Feng Yu Heng received the banknote with a bit of surprise. It was a banknote from a proper bank in the capital. It was 1.5 million taels, no more and no less. She was a little surprised: "Father, where did this money come from?"
Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand, "The Feng manor has some foundation. There's no need for you to worry about this. Zirui going to school is most important."
Hearing him say this, Feng Yu Heng could not continue to ask, so she nodded and handed the banknote to Wang Chuan, "Take care of it. In a few days, Zirui will be returning to Xiao Zhou. Give it to him."
Feng Jin Yuan saw that the banknote had been given away. Only then did a smile appear on his face. It was as though a rock had been lifted from his shoulders; however, he did not know if this was because he had finally put in some effort to help his son go to school or because he finally had the face to ask Feng Yu Heng for his next request.
Seeing that he did not leave, Feng Yu Heng knew that there was definitely something else, but if Feng Jin Yuan did not say anything, she was in no rush. She had a maidservant bring her some tea and drank a few sips. She then began to chat with Zirui.
Once she spoke, there was no beginning or end. Feng Jin Yuan feared that she would forget about this matter, thus he threw away all face and took the initiative to speak: "That … Heng, father has something that I want to ask you."
"Oh?" Only then did Feng Yu Heng turn her head to face him, "What is father asking?"
Feng Jin Yuan calmed himself down and said: "You also know that at the time, there were some irrational feelings between Yao shi and I. She stabbed me in a vital area. I just want to ask, this injury … can it still be treated?"
Feng Yu Heng did not think that he would ask for such a thing, but when she thought about the day that Feng Jin Yuan had met Feng Zhao Lian, she had a bit of an understanding. But it was precisely because she thought of this that her expression became even colder, as she immediately said without any politeness: "Father now has sons and daughters. One daughter is an imperial daughter, one daughter is the future official princess of Prince Li, and the son is the disciple of teacher Ye Rong. What is it, are you still not satisfied? You still want to give the Feng manor more children? " While saying this, she looked him up and down with disdain then said: "Isn't it a little too late?"
Feng Jin Yuan's face turned completely red from what she had said. After all, he was the father. To have his daughter use this sort of thing to criticize him, how could he have any face left? But he had come with this goal in mind. He had already decided that no matter how unpleasant Feng Yu Heng's words were, he would endure them. As long as she could treat his injury, anything was fine. Thus he did not speak, only pleading: "Father is a man, after all, and there are still wives and concubines in the manor. I need to think about them."
Feng Yu Heng laughed. This father really did have a lot of face. He was even able to say this sort of thing. But it was said that there was no poison. Since the window had already been opened, there was no harm in speaking openly. She only asked Feng Jin Yuan: "Not to mention how your injury is, but after such a long time has passed, even if I am skilled, I fear that there is no hope. Moreover … "She stared at Feng Jin Yuan, as her eyes looked down with ill intentions. She then said:" As a father, you have the nerve to ask me to treat that place? "
