The servant heard Lü Ping mention Princess Ji An and could not help but recall the day that she had joined the procession to send off Lu Yao. She also heard about what had happened at the Yao manor's banquet. She could not help but feel a little worried: "Young miss, interacting with Princess Ji An does not seem to be so easy." This was the first impression that she had of Feng Yu Heng after seeing her from afar. Cold and distant.
Lü Ping felt irritated and asked: "If this is no good and that is no good, then tell me, what hope do I have?" Lü Ping was someone that very rarely got angry. After many years as the daughter of a concubine and the hidden illness that she had, she had already learned to endure. Even when faced with the mockery from the Ge Clan and her two younger sisters, Lu Yao and Lu Yan, she had learned to not argue. Even if she had some schemes, she could not be bothered to use them on these so-called family members. Regardless of whether she was good or bad, her maternal family would not be her final pillar of support. Rather than fighting in this world, it would be better to save her energy and properly plan for her own future.
"Jian 'er, say, why does father insist on having me participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival's banquet? Even if my illness has not been treated, how could he go all out like this? "
Since she asked like this, Jian 'er had no choice but to reply, but she was just a maidservant in the end. How could she have the ability to analyze things. After thinking for a long time, she squeezed out: "Eldest young miss is 17 this year. Perhaps master is also anxious, right?"
Lü Ping sneered, "Anxious? Perhaps. His second daughter caused that sort of trouble. Although it has already been resolved, it was an outcome that caused everyone in the Lu Family to feel fear. Who knows if the granny in the palace was mistaken or if she had been bribed, but regardless of the situation, they have a handle on this matter. In the future, who knows how much trouble it will cause. Isn't the Lu Family in a rush right now? They're in a rush to push me out. They want to get another guarantee outside of Lu Yao and Lu Yan; however, who knows who they will arrange for me. "
Jian 'er grew up in the Lu Family and naturally understood what her mistress meant. She thought for a while and said, "Now that I think about it, only the Sixth Prince hasn't engaged a girl from any family. Could it be that Old Master wants to …"
"Impossible." Lü Ping shook her head. "Not to mention that the Sixth Prince is not in the capital right now, and it's impossible for him to come back to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet. Even if he came back, do you think that I, a concubine's daughter from the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zuo, can marry into the Imperial Family and become the Princess Consort?"
Jian 'er was puzzled. "Why not? Then wouldn't the Feng family's fourth young miss become His Highness the fifth prince's official princess? She was also a concubine's daughter! Moreover, young miss is so beautiful. I fear that you won't be able to find another person as beautiful as you. What is there that you can't marry? "
Lü Ping smiled bitterly. "That girl from the Feng family got lucky. It's not like you haven't heard how difficult it was for her to obtain the position of official princess. She also ended up with a strange person like the fifth prince. If it were any other prince, it would be impossible." While she spoke, she waved her hand. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Either way, there are not many days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Father will tell me about his arrangements sooner or later. Right now, what we need to worry about is my illness. Say, if I go and find Princess Ji An, what should I do to get revenge? "
Hearing that she was still planning to go and find Feng Yu Heng, Jian 'er knew that she would not be able to persuade her. This illness had troubled her young miss for over ten years. If Princess Ji An could really cure it, then any price would be worth it. She thought for a while then said: "I fear that she does not lack money."
Lü Ping let out a long sigh, "Even if she does lack money, I can't take out much. Do you still not know about the savings I have over the years? But aside from money, what else can I give her? What would she want? " The more Lü Ping thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was not as easy to handle as she had initially thought. She could not help but frown … …
In the Lu manor, a conspiracy was brewing. One daughter after another was being schemed against by Lu Song and his wife, the Ge Clan. One by one, the princes and nobles were being watched by them. Prime minister Lu wholeheartedly wanted to break the curse of the Dashun Dynasty's left prime minister dying a horrible death. He wanted to ensure that the Lu Family's wealth was preserved. If Feng Yu Heng saw this, she would definitely find that the current Lu manor was very similar to the Feng manor of the past. They both had a beautiful daughter; however, she did not know what the Lu Family planned to do with this beautiful girl.
In the Feng manor, Feng Jin Yuan sat in his study with a gloomy expression. The doctor from Hundred Herb Hall came to see him and received ten taels of silver as a consultation fee. That was not all. The key point was that they told him that this injury had dragged on for too long, and it was impossible to cure it. Even if Ghost Doctor Song Kang were to treat him, it would still be impossible. This caused the hope that had risen from the bottom of his heart to be extinguished once more. He had already sat alone in his study for a full four hours; however, his mind was still muddled. Who knew what he was thinking about.
But he had shut himself in this room and remained silent; however, it did not mean that everyone would give him the chance to remain silent. After dinner, Feng Fen Dai finally made a racket and charged over. Without waiting for someone to announce her arrival, she reached out and forcefully pushed open the door to the study, rushing to ask: "I heard that father invited a doctor to your house today?"
Feng Jin Yuan was given a fright. When he recovered, he found that Fen Dai was standing across from him with an angry expression. He could not help but angrily say: "Who allowed you to barge in? Do you still have any rules? "
Fen Dai sneered, "Rules? You're talking about rules with me? If you want to talk about rules, then act like a parent. Don't rely on a daughter that has not yet married to provide for your basic necessities! When you return to being yourself, you can come and talk about rules with me. I just want to ask you, where did you get the consultation fee from when the doctor came to treat you today? I heard that the two doctors asked for ten taels. This month, the fifth prince did not send any money over. Where did you get the money? "
"Impudent!" Feng Jin Yuan became furious and suddenly slammed the table: "Where I got the money is none of your concern?"
"I can not concern myself with it!" Fen Dai's eyes were spitting fire, "But I just want to ask father. I lost a jade pillow in my room. Did father see where it went?"
"I …" Feng Jin Yuan was a little tongue-tied. His heart was filled with panic, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "How could I know! You should ask your servants about the things in your room. What are you asking me for? I'm not going into your room! "
"You're not going?" Fen Dai snorted coldly, "I also heard that father gave Zirui 150 taels for school fees. Where did you get this money? Don't deny it. Since I dared to come and ask you today, I have already investigated most of this matter. Father, we are both children. For the sake of your son's school fees, you stole your daughter's things. How can your skin be so thick? "
Feng Jin Yuan was cursed so badly that he wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it. He already knew that this matter would be exposed, but he truly did not know how to deal with it. Faced with this sort of cursing, aside from listening, there was nothing else he could do.
Now that he thought about it, the ridicule that Feng Yu Heng had given him was truly nothing compared to Fen Dai. After all, she had a rank. She was a dignified imperial daughter, and she had many accomplishments. Who knew how much higher her position was than Fen Dai's. Who knew how much more money she had than Fen Dai's. If it was said that he would be cursed and ridiculed in front of anyone, he would rather be cursed and ridiculed by Feng Yu Heng than look at Fen Dai's face.
Thinking like this, it was as though he had gained some confidence, as he immediately said: "So what if I took it? Zirui is a boy. He is the only male in the Feng family, but what about you? In the end, you are a daughter that has been married off. If you still know that your surname is Feng, you should think more about the family. Forget it, I know that you don't have such thoughts. Now that the fifth prince has done these things for the Feng family, it's not as though the Feng family does not remember the grace. But this grace is far too lacking compared to the shame that your birth mother has brought to the Feng family. Just treat it as repaying it for her sake. You can not care about the Feng family. You can not care about me as your father. You can curse and insult me as you please, but you need to be clear that you do not have the same position as your second sister. You do not have the same confidence. When you get married in the future, you will not have an imperial daughter's manor like hers, nor will you have the servants and guards of that manor. You will also not have as many good friends as she does. You will still need to get into the wedding sedan from the Feng manor, and you will still need to marry as the Feng family's daughter. Do not forget that you are still the daughter of a concubine. The Feng family's prosperity and decline are closely related to you. "
Feng Jin Yuan said this long string of words, and it seemed as though he had regained some of his confidence. It was as though he had returned to the past, to the time when they were still in the old Feng manor. His children allowed him to discipline them, and nobody said a single word in front of him.
As for Fen Dai, she was given a fright by this aura. Blankly looking at him, she did not know what she should say.
Feng Jin Yuan snorted coldly and waved his hand: "You can go back for now. Father will remain here for a while longer." After saying this, he did not wait for Fen Dai to react before calling for a male servant to chase her away.
Fen Dai was chased out in a daze like this. She then walked toward her own courtyard in a daze. Only when she reached the entrance of her courtyard did she manage to react. She could not help but say in surprise: "Dong Ying, has he been possessed? What did he just say? "
The maidservant at her side, Dong Ying, naturally heard what Feng Jin Yuan had said. At this moment, however, she had no choice but to console her young miss, saying: "Young miss, do not get angry. In the end, master is someone who was once a prime minister. Although he did not succeed for a while, the aura in his bones is still there. What he said is correct. Before young miss gets married, it would not be good to offend the Feng family too much. If the Feng family is too embarrassed, the scene of young miss getting married in the future will not be pretty. Moreover … "
"Moreover what?"
"Moreover, this servant feels that master only gained this strong aura after going to the imperial daughter's manor. This servant suspects that second young miss has given him some sort of benefit? He feels that he has gained a large backing, which is why he came home to fall out with young miss? "
Fen Dai was given a start, "But of course! If this was in the past, how could that old thing Feng Jin Yuan dare to speak to me like this. Now that his second daughter has returned, he feels that he has found a backing! "She gnashed her teeth angrily," Feng Yu Heng, why did you still come back? Why did you not die on the battlefield in Qian Zhou? As long as you are here, my days will not be easy. I finally managed to gain control of the Feng family, yet you want to interfere. Damn it, sooner or later, there will come a day when I will have you know the outcome of fighting with me, Feng Fen Dai! "
