Using Xiang Rong and the seventh prince as a guide, Feng Fen Dai successfully invited Feng Zhao Lian into the Feng manor and brought him to her own small courtyard.
At this time, the child that Han shi had left behind was crying and throwing a tantrum. Feng Zhao Lian had always been one to speak without thinking, as he rushed to ask Fen Dai: "Oh! Fourth young miss gave birth to a child? "This caused Feng Fen Dai to fly into a rage.
Fortunately, Dong Ying was quick-witted and quickly explained: "It's a child from a relative's family and came to stay for a while."
"Oh." Feng Zhao Lian nodded and finally did not continue on this topic.
Fen Dai forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and continued to have a smile on her face as she led him into the room. While walking, she silently cursed endlessly. This girl looked extremely beautiful, but why did she feel that she was a little lacking in thought? Was there anyone that spoke like this when meeting for the first time? He even asked if she had given birth to a child. She was an unmarried girl, so how could she have a child? Thinking like this, she could not help but feel a bit more hatred for that child.
Speaking of, that child was now over a year old; however, he still did not have a name. Normally, he would have a wet nurse and maidservant to take care of him, but he was still a taboo of the Feng family. Nobody wanted to ask about him. Only the wet nurse and maidservant were willing to take care of him because their wages were paid by the imperial daughter's manor. Fortunately, there was a hidden guard that Feng Yu Heng had left behind to protect him. After Feng Fen Dai had suffered a loss, she did not dare do anything to the child.
Unfortunately, Han shi had been on edge when she was pregnant with him. In addition to this, she had been forced to give birth early. This child had a congenital deficiency. After the doctors from Hundred Herb Hall came to take a look, they all shook their heads and declared that he would not live past the age of three. Only after this did Fen Dai stop thinking of ways to kill him.
This was the first time that Feng Zhao Lian had come to the Feng manor; however, he was not in the mood to admire Feng Yu Heng's family. Upon entering the room, he grabbed Fen Dai and asked: "Quickly speak. What exactly is the situation between your manor's third young miss and the seventh prince?"
Fen Dai, however, was no longer in a rush. While sending someone to bring in tea, she also ordered someone to bring in some pastries. After everything had been arranged, she asked in confusion: "What is it, did my second sister not tell miss?"
Feng Zhao Lian shook his head, "I did not!"
"That's true." Fen Dai said thoughtfully: "If miss really has feelings for his Highness the seventh prince, then you would be third sister's rival in love. How could second sister help an outsider steal a man from your own younger sister."
"That's not the point!" Fen Dai was deliberately trying to sow discord; however, Feng Zhao Lian did not take this to heart, "Who Heng Heng helps or doesn't help will depend on her own wishes. We can't do anything about it. I will just ask you, what exactly is going on between your manor's third young miss and the seventh prince?"
"Oh, this! It's a long story! " Fen Dai deliberately changed her tone. With Feng Zhao Lian repeatedly emphasizing that it was fine to be a bit longer, and there was no need to keep it short. He had plenty of time to listen to her speak in detail. Only then did Fen Dai calm down and speak about the little bit of connection between Xiang Rong and the seventh prince.
When it was mentioned that the seventh prince had once gifted Xiang Rong a set of beautiful clothes, Feng Zhao Lian stomped his feet in envy: "Hah! It's my fault for coming to the capital late. "
Fendai snickered in her heart and continued to say some nonsense. In the end, the relationship between Xiangrong and the Seventh Prince was a little ambiguous, and she even emphasized that Xiangrong had gone to Chun Palace alone.
Feng Zhao Lian was extremely envious from hearing this. In the end, he simply asked Fen Dai: "Can you introduce me to that third young miss?"
Fen Dai shook her head, "Unfortunately, she is not in the manor today."
"Did she go to the Chun Palace again?" This time, Feng Zhao Lian was truly a bit jealous, "To be able to go to the Chun Palace at any time, third young miss really is a deity."
Who knew that Fen Dai would smirk and coldly snort, saying: "What Chun Palace! She went to the Ping Palace. "
"Ping Palace? What palace is that? What sort of thing is Ping Palace? " Feng Zhao Lian was still not very familiar with the positions of the princes in Dashun. He only knew of Prince Yu, Xuan Tianming, and Prince Chun, Xuan Tianhua. He could not match the others at all.
Once this was asked, Fen Dai was once again certain of the conclusion she had made about Miss Lian: She was lacking in thought! This was clearly lacking in thought. It seemed that the heavens were still fair! They had given her a peerless appearance but did not give her a healthy heart. It really was delightful!
She told Feng Zhao Lian: "Ping Palace is the fourth prince of Dashun. In the past, he had done something wrong and was imprisoned in his own palace by the Emperor. He has always gotten along well with third sister. Even when third sister was bullied by the young miss of the Lu Family, it was Ping Palace that secretly vented."
"Hm?" Feng Zhao Lian was confused from hearing this, "Didn't you say earlier that third young miss and the seventh prince were the ones that had feelings for each other? Why did the topic suddenly shift to the Fourth Prince? Oh, you mean to say that the fourth prince has also taken an interest in the third young miss and is interested in the third young miss, but the third young miss is only thinking of the seventh prince, right? "
Fen Dai shook her head, "That's not it. It takes two hands to clap. If third sister had no feelings for him, why would she go to the Ping Palace again and again? It must be said that she does have feelings for His Highness the seventh prince, but His Highness the seventh prince is different from normal people. I think … third sister is most likely worried that her efforts on His Highness the seventh prince's side will not yield any results. That's why she is dragging on with His Highness the fourth prince! Hah, she has some ability, but we are not the same. Second sister is only protecting His Highness the Ninth Highness, and I am only protecting His Highness the fifth prince. Speaking of, our family's third sister is the most fortunate. "
Fen Dai's words caused Feng Zhao Lian to become extremely angry. It had to be said that he had become accustomed to being arrogant in Qian Zhou, and he was indeed a little unreasonable. But in the end, he was not muddle-headed. When he encountered problems, he was still able to allow his reasoning to gain the upper hand. Back then, when he fought with Duan Mu An Guo, they were evenly matched. But as a person, when it came to matters of the heart, Feng Zhao Lian had never been moved by anyone in his life, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman. Even when it was Feng Yu Heng back then, he had only wanted to sincerely befriend her in order to treat his own illness. But the plans of man could not compare to the plans of the heavens. Once he arrived in Dashun and met the Xuan Tianhua, much of his reasoning had been taken away in an instant. It was such that when Feng Fen Dai said these words, he did not even think about it, as he had already labeled Xiang Rong as a "fickle" girl.
Fen Dai looked at the person in front of her and could not help but laugh to herself. She thought to herself that she had really made the right bet! This Miss Lian really was interested in the seventh prince. Thus she added a bit more effort: "Miss, there's no need to take it to heart. Just wait and see what other movements she makes and what exactly she plans to do. Either way, she can't monopolize both princes. In the end, one must be chosen. "
"Choose? She's still being allowed to choose? Based on what? " Feng Zhao Lian truly felt that it was not worth it for the Xuan Tianhua, "His Highness the seventh prince is such a good person, yet he actually has to choose between others? My ass! " In his agitation, all sorts of things came out of his mouth. Holding Fen Dai's hand, he said: "Good younger sister, you must help me keep an eye on that Feng Xiang Rong. You must not allow her to harm His Highness the seventh prince."
Fen Dai quickly nodded, "Don't worry. Since we hit it off so well, I will definitely help you keep an eye on her. Although she is my elder sister, sister Lian should understand the relationship between sisters in large families. She and I were born from different mothers, and we are not all that good. For us to be able to sit together and drink tea and chat, that is fate. Just leave this matter to me. We live so close to each other. In the future, you can come over to my side every day. I will tell you about the movements over there. "In just a few words, the two had already begun to refer to each other as sisters.
Feng Zhao Lian nodded, "Then it's decided. That, I do indeed have some matters to attend to at my palace today, so I will not be staying any longer. Help me keep an eye on her. I will come back tomorrow. "
"Younger sister will see elder sister off." Fen Dai smiled and personally sent Feng Zhao Lian out of the manor.
While the two were speaking, the servants in Fen Dai's courtyard had already sent word of Feng Zhao Lian entering the manor to Feng Jin Yuan's side. When Feng Jin Yuan first heard about it, he did not believe it, but the servants spoke reasonably. They even said that the two had been drinking tea and eating pastries in the room and had already chatted for over two hours.
Feng Jin Yuan was no longer able to sit still and quickly rushed over to Fen Dai's courtyard. From where he lived, he would need to pass through the front yard to get to Fen Dai's place. Just as he reached the middle of the yard, he saw that Fen Dai had already accompanied Feng Zhao Lian to the entrance of the manor. The two were affectionately holding each other's arms as they chatted. Fen Dai sent them off quite a distance before returning. There was still a smile on her face. While walking, she loudly said to her maidservant: "Not only is Miss Lian beautiful, her personality is also good. I really did not think that she and I would hit it off so well. Dong Ying, prepare a few more of the pastries that sister Lian likes to eat tomorrow. She will still be coming. "
Dong Ying also helped from the side, saying: "Young miss, don't worry. This servant will give the order in a while."
Feng Jin Yuan originally did not believe it, but now, he had no choice but to believe it. He quickly stepped forward and anxiously asked: "Why are you together with Miss Lian?"
A look of success flashed through Fen Dai's eyes; however, she said with disdain: "Oh! I was wondering who it was. Isn't this our Feng family's head elder? What is it, father actually took the initiative to speak with me today? I thought that you did not recognize me as your daughter and were preparing to pack up and move to the imperial daughter's manor. "
Recently, Feng Jin Yuan had indeed been feeling quite conflicted with Fen Dai, and he had indeed thought of currying favor with Feng Yu Heng from this day forward. But that was then and this is now. At that time, Feng Fen Dai did not have Feng Zhao Lian at her side. Now, however, he had personally heard this daughter refer to Miss Lian as elder sister. The relationship between the two had actually reached such a degree. How could he let it go.
Thus he forcefully endured being ridiculed and said with a smile: "Fen Dai, what sort of thing are you saying. We are father and daughter. After all, we depend on each other for survival. Your second sister's extravagant clothes and food, how could father be worthy of her. Also, even if she invited me, I am still thinking about you a little more. You don't have a birth mother at your side. If father does not dote on you, who would make plans for you? "
Fen Dai heard this and sneered internally. She just thought to herself that this father really knew how to play both sides. When he saw a person, he said a person's words. When he saw a ghost, he said a ghost's words. Unfortunately, it was too late to curry favor with him now. His face was something that his children had already seen clearly. The reason that she had thought of a way to establish a relationship with Feng Zhao Lian was nothing more than to give herself some face. She wanted to let Feng Jin Yuan know that she was not so easy to abandon. As for the relationship between father and daughter, she had never cared about it.
"Father is right. Going through thick and thin together is nothing. Going through thick and thin together is something that can never be forgotten. In the end, we were the ones that relied on each other for survival." She said this half-heartedly then returned to her own courtyard without looking back.
Feng Jin Yuan wanted to chase after her and ask; however, he still stopped. His relationship with Fen Dai had just improved, and he could not force her too much. He had to take things slowly. Either way, he had just heard her say that Miss Lian would be coming to the manor the next day. At that time, it would not be too late to make plans.
At this time, Feng Zhao Lian returned to the manor. Guard Yun Xiao came out in a flash and very helplessly said: "Master, what exactly are you thinking? Do you still remember the goal of us coming to Dashun? We came to find Princess Ji An to treat our illness! "
Feng Zhao Lian waved his hand, "I know. While we're at it, we'll take in a son-in-law. That's not too bad!" After saying this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly; however, he said: "Interesting! I really want to see what sort of tricks this Feng family's daughter can pull out. Feng Fen Dai, right? She's a good piece of material. "
