Feng Yu Heng had always been direct with her words. There were some words that even Feng Jin Yuan could not help but turn red in the face. But the words were crude, but the logic was not crude. What she said was the truth. Even if Feng Jin Yuan felt embarrassed, he could only obediently accept it. Unfortunately, he did accept it, but he did not know how to continue.
Feng Yu Heng was not in a rush. Gently patting Zirui, she said: "Go play on your own. Elder sister has something to discuss with father."
The child also knew that there were times when he should avoid it, thus he happily ran out to play. Only when the father and daughter were left behind did Feng Jin Yuan become a little more shameless, saying: "Father is quite shameless, but Heng Heng, that injury was caused by your mother. Normally speaking, you should provide me with an explanation."
He was also feeling anxious and was rushing to say everything; however, when these words reached Feng Yu Heng's ears, they caused her anger to rise. But she had already become accustomed to Feng Jin Yuan's unreasonable behavior. She knew that once she got angry with him, it would not end, thus she forcefully suppressed her anger and very solemnly told him: "If you feel that the matter from back then is controversial, you can go to the government office to file a complaint. File a complaint that Yao shi injured you. Whether it's money or your life, that's your problem. It's unrelated to me. You should know about my current relationship with her. It's just that. That's why you can't threaten me with this matter. "
Feng Jin Yuan was startled. He had thought that Feng Yu Heng would get angry; however, he did not think that she would say such a thing. Thinking about Yao shi's current situation, was she not on the verge of breaking off relations with this daughter. At that time, he had secretly laughed at Yao shi for being foolish, and he had laughed at Feng Yu Heng for being isolated; however, he did not think that she would use this as a reason to brush him off. For a while, Feng Jin Yuan was speechless. This sort of thing was already hard to bring up. He had said it, and she had refused. What else could he do?
He could not help but feel a little distressed over the 150 taels of tuition. If he knew earlier that Feng Yu Heng would not agree to it and would use this sort of thing to shut him up, he would not have needed to raise the tuition. Either way, the imperial daughter's manor had plenty of money. It would not be to the extent that the child could not even afford to attend school. But it was too late. It was too late!
Feng Jin Yuan regretted his actions!
But just as he was feeling vexed, he suddenly heard Feng Yu Heng open her mouth and say: "Although it's not convenient for me to treat father's injury, I can still order the people from Hundred Herb Hall to come and treat father."
Feng Jin Yuan's eyes lit up, "Hundred Herb Hall? Do they … do they? "
Feng Yu Heng shrugged: "I don't know, but the doctors in Hundred Herb Hall were personally taught by me. No matter how you look at it, they're better than the doctors outside. In fact, their medical skills aren't inferior to the imperial physicians in the palace. If father wants to give it a try, I'll call them over later. "
Feng Jin Yuan rubbed his hands. It was as though there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel! He originally thought that there was no hope, but he didn't expect that this daughter of his wasn't that heartless. Thus, he nodded repeatedly, "Alright! Good! Let's ask the doctor from Hundred Herb Hall to take a look! "
Feng Yu Heng reminded him again, "Father, don't be happy too early. You've been injured for too long. The chance of you being cured is less than 10%."
These words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over him. Fortunately, Feng Jin Yuan was able to endure it. After repeatedly expressing his thanks, he quickly left the imperial daughter's manor. As for having Feng Yu Heng help him find a job, he did not dare bring it up. Being able to get one thing done after dealing with this daughter was already quite good. He could not be greedy. Either way, treating the injury was most important. The job could be discussed later.
Feng Jin Yuan happily left. Huang Quan, however, was unhappy and asked Feng Yu Heng: "Young miss, do you really want to have the doctor from Hundred Herb Hall treat him? What if he is cured? "
Wang Chuan rolled his eyes, "Doctors treating illnesses and saving lives is a good thing. Why is it that when it comes to you, you're worried that he will be cured?"
Huang Quan spoke in a matter-of-fact manner: "That depends on who is being treated. For someone like Feng Jin Yuan, if he is cured, he will be smug."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "I already said that the chance of him being cured is less than 10%."
Huang Quan muttered: "That would be a waste of Hundred Herb Hall's good medicine."
"Who said it would be a waste?" Feng Yu Heng looked at him with a smirk: "My Hundred Herb Hall is a place that does business. How much medicine is used is how much money is paid. Could it be that we let him see it for nothing?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Quan laughed, "Young miss is collecting money from him? Hahahaha! "The girl rocked back and forth with laughter," Did you see that just now? When Feng Jin Yuan handed over the 150 taels, he had a smile on his face, but his eyes were crying! If Hundred Herb Hall collects another portion of money from him, I figure he will have to sell everything he has, right? "
Wang Chuan also laughed upon hearing this, but at the same time, he was puzzled and said: "Where did Feng Jin Yuan get this money? Could it be that it was given by his Highness the fifth prince? Wasn't it said that the Feng manor was currently being taken care of by his Highness the fifth prince? 150 taels is not a small amount. "
Feng Yu Heng, however, said: "Who cares where he got it from. Since he was able to get the money, it means that he has some sort of method. It's just that we don't know if it's a crooked method."
The imperial daughter's manor was researching the origin of Feng Jin Yuan's money; however, they did not know that at this very moment, inside the Feng manor, Fen Dai was searching the entire room for her jade pillow. While searching, she muttered: "I clearly put it away properly. Dong Ying, did you change it for me?"
Dong Ying shook her head, "That jade pillow was given to young miss by his Highness the fifth prince. Young miss liked it very much, but she said that it was not comfortable to sleep on, thus she put it away in the cabinet. This servant still remembers that it was in the top compartment of the cabinet. How could it be gone? "
The two were both puzzled. In another courtyard, Xiang Rong was also feeling depressed. A servant was currently saying to her: "The Ping Palace sent someone to deliver a message. They said that his Highness the fourth prince felt that the peony embroidered yesterday was not very beautiful and wanted young miss to go over and teach it."
Xiang Rong angrily threw the teacup in front of her.
Recently, her temper had been quite bad, but this temper would only be vented when it came to matters related to the fourth prince. At this time, hearing that that person had begun to cause trouble, she could not help but angrily say: "What is there to teach! I've already taught him 800 times. If he doesn't have the talent, he needs to practice diligently. What sort of things can he rely on me to accomplish? "
The servant did not dare say too much; however, she thought to herself, young miss, could it be that you want his Highness the fourth prince to accomplish something with his embroidery skills? In the end, he is a grown man. Being obedient is already quite good. Thinking a little more, it was a thought that had been suppressed in her heart for many months that surfaced once more. She could not help but speak up and say to Xiang Rong: "In truth … his Highness the fourth prince treats young miss quite well."
She had already said this very quietly, but Xiang Rong still felt that it was very grating. She could not help but angrily say: "Who cares about being good to him? If he wants to be good, he can be good to whoever he wants! Go and have someone reply to him. Have him embroider on his own. If he does not finish embroidering 100 peonies, this young miss will not see him! "
The maidservant was frightened and quickly left to reply to the people of Peace Manor; however, Xiang Rong's mind was in a mess because of what had just been said.
Good? She did not care about anything good. Right now, the thing that she was most depressed about was the Yao family's joyous occasion. Because of Xuan Tian Yi's pestering, she was unable to attend, and a chance to see his Highness the seventh prince was missed. She did not know when she would be able to see that person again. Or it could be said that it would not be considered a meeting. Just seeing him from afar would be fine. There was no need to speak. As long as she could see him and know that he was doing well, her heart would feel at ease.
Unfortunately, this great opportunity had been ruined by Xuan Tian Yi. Also, after thinking about it, why did she feel that Xuan Tian Yi had done it on purpose? Just because he was a prince, he could be unreasonable? Then why did she have to listen to him? Exactly what sort of brain had gone haywire for her to listen to Xuan Tian Yi?
Xiang Rong forcefully shook her head and felt that things were a mess. These days were originally clear and bright. Why was it that they were becoming more and more chaotic?
Two days later, Feng Yu Heng sent Zirui to Xiao Zhou's carriage. Wang Chuan and Ban Zou personally escorted him. At the same time, the imperial daughter's manor sent out five hidden guards to accompany him. Right before leaving, Zirui did not mention going to visit Yao shi. Feng Yu Heng also avoided it. The current Yao shi made it so that she did not know how she should explain it to this child.
Watching the carriage travel far away, Huang Quan helped her back to the manor. While walking, he asked: "Young Miss, that servant named Ying Cao is still being held captive. Do you think that she should be released or what?"
Feng Yu Heng frowned. That servant had returned to the capital with Zirui. When she returned to the manor, she immediately gave the order to have her detained. She did not explain the reason in detail, only telling Zirui that she should follow the head maidservants to learn some skills that a girl should have. On this trip to Xiao Zhou, Zirui also knew the rules of the academy, thus he did not mention bringing her along. This allowed Feng Yu Heng to feel much less worried.
She said to Huang Quan: "Just detain her for now. That girl seemed fine in the past, but for some reason after coming back this time, she seems to be feeling uncomfortable."
Huang Quan also said: "Young Miss can't be blamed for feeling uncomfortable. This servant and Wang Chuan have also discussed this in private. That girl looks young, but she seems to have a lot of ideas. Normally speaking, someone bought from a slave owner would have been beaten into a state of fear by the slave owner. How could she be as clever as her?"
Feng Yu Heng agreed wholeheartedly, "That's right. You said that being beaten into a state of fear is the key. Think about the servants in our manor. Many of them were bought from slave traders. Slave traders are different from slave owners. They take their servants to send them to rich families to earn more money. Thus, most of the people under their control will not be mistreated. If they meet someone who is good-looking, they will take good care of them in the hopes that a family will take a fancy to them and take them in as concubines. But slave owners are different. The slaves in their hands are all lowly, and most of them are children. Most of them can't be sold for a good price and are abused for a long time. Thus, they can buy capable servants from slave traders, but they can only buy coolies from slave owners. "
"Young Miss, do you think that the girl has bad intentions?"
"That's a bit interesting," Feng Yu Heng said: "Escaping from the imperial palace was Zirui's idea and ability. I believe that. But going from the capital to the eastern border is such a big matter. As long as that girl did a little bit of her duty as a servant, she would advise her. Even if she couldn't persuade her, with her survival skills, even if Zhang Yuan secretly sent people to protect her, it wouldn't be so smooth sailing. In my opinion, she isn't afraid of slave owners. Instead, she seems to be very used to traveling outside. "
Huang Quan was a bit worried and anxiously said: "Then why don't this servant bring her here and let Young Miss interrogate her properly?"
Feng Yu Heng waved her hand: "There's no rush. Let's do it first. Just have someone keep an eye on her. I want to see if she will take any initiative if we keep her locked up like this."
As the two of them spoke, they had almost reached the courtyard. At this time, a manservant quickly ran over from behind. As he ran, he shouted: "Young Miss, wait a moment!"
The two of them stopped and turned around. They saw that the manservant had also brought someone over. Feng Yu Heng felt that she looked familiar: "You are … from the Chun Palace?"
That maidservant immediately bowed, "Imperial Princess has good eyesight. This servant is indeed a servant of the Chun Palace. His Highness sent this servant to inform Imperial Princess that he would like to invite Imperial Princess to the Chun Palace for a family banquet tonight. He also said that His Ninth Highness has already agreed and will send an imperial carriage to pick you up in the evening. "
