The prefect of Luo Province lowered his head, as he was called to the fourth prince, Xuan Tian Yi, with a helpless expression.
In regards to these princes, he had truly given up. A single slap from his daughter had cost him nearly all of his wealth, and he still had to endure this sort of mental blow time and time again. If possible, he really wanted to leave the banquet early and return to the posthouse to cry. Unfortunately, before he could find a reason to leave, he was called over once more.
Mu Jiang knelt in front of Xuan Tian Yi; however, he was told that he did not need to salute him. Instead, he needed to kowtow and apologize to the Feng family's third young miss. Mu Jiang nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood!
The Feng family had fallen to such a degree, yet a daughter of a concubine actually wanted him to kowtow and apologize? What sort of situation was this?
He subconsciously turned his head and looked up, his gaze landing on Emperor Tianwu's side; however, he saw that the Emperor was not even looking in this direction, as he was happily watching the song and dance.
Turning his head, some of the members of the imperial harem noticed this, but nobody spoke up to remind the Emperor of what had happened. After all, it was rare for Emperor Tianwu to get into the song and dance. Nobody wanted to disturb the Emperor's good mood at this sort of time.
And on this end, without waiting for Mu Jiang to turn around, he heard a voice that was even more confusing than the fourth prince, Xuan Tian Yi, speak up: "Oh? This is the prefect of Luo Province, Lord Mu? The one who instigated his daughter to beat up this imperial daughter's younger sister and ruined this imperial daughter's Eastern Sea pearls? "
Mu Jiang's body suddenly swayed, and he nearly fell head first onto the table. He then heard Xuan Tian Ge say: "Lord Mu, be careful. Your daughter ruined Imperial Daughter Ji An's pearls. What is it, are you planning to knock over this table of fine wine then kneel in front of this princess' magnificent clothes?"
Mu Jiang placed his hands on the ground and managed to calm his emotions and body down with great difficulty. He no longer dared. He no longer dared to make the slightest mistake in front of these people. Everyone said that the people from the border were barbaric, but who knew that the true wolves and tigers were gathered in the capital! Compared to these princes, young masters, and imperial daughters, the people from the border were like little white rabbits. They could not cause any trouble.
He admitted defeat and obediently kowtowed to Feng Xiang Rong in apology. He also promised once more that the dowry would be sent to the capital as soon as possible. He guaranteed that the Feng family's third young miss would be satisfied.
Xuan Tian Yi nodded, "Seeing that your attitude is quite sincere, let's go back first!"
Mu Jiang was finally able to escape from these devils. His back was soaked in cold sweat.
Xiangrong was puzzled and asked Xuan Tianyi: "What dowry? Whose is it? "
As a result, Xuan Tian Yi ignored her and got up to leave. Xiangrong was speechless. What sort of person was this? When she raised her head again, she had been following Xuan Tianyi's gaze; however, she saw a white-clothed figure on the opposite side. He was holding a wine cup and seemed to be thinking about something. His face was as calm as water and he looked like a deity.
Her cheeks instantly turned red, and a wave of heat swept over her. She was thinking, 'Did that person see the Fourth Prince when he came over to talk to me?' Would there be a misunderstanding? But then he smiled bitterly. What misunderstanding? How could that person have any special feelings for her. So what if someone spoke to her? She sighed internally and forcefully put away these thoughts. Glaring at Xuan Tian Yi, who had walked far away, she lowered her head and began to eat some fruit.
Xuan Tian Ge saw all of this and quietly asked Feng Yu Heng: "I heard long ago that Fourth Brother was interested in Xiangrong. Looking at it now, it seems that it was true."
Feng Yu Heng replied with a smile: "As I see it, the two of them are quite well-suited."
"Well-Suited?" Xuan Tian Ge disagreed, "Fourth Brother is a prince that has been detained. Although he is still allowed to live in the Ping Palace, he has already been stripped of his position as a prince and has been demoted to a commoner. He will not be able to make a comeback in this lifetime."
"So what?" Feng Yu Heng countered with a question, "A man with a high position and a generous salary who can ensure that you do not have to worry about food and clothing while also having a large number of wives and concubines. One is a commoner who truly loves and protects you and will stand up for you in all matters. Which one do you want?"
Xuan Tian Ge was startled and only spoke after a while: "If you say it like that, then they really are quite well-suited. I just don't know how long Fourth Brother's vigor can last. What I fear is that he is a commoner, yet he still wants to have a large number of wives and concubines. Heng Cheng, you need to know that even if he is a commoner, his father is still the Emperor. In the end, he is different from other people. "
"That's right." Feng Yu Heng also said: "What I fear is that you do not have anything, yet you still want to live a life where you have everything. Xiangrong is still young, and there are still three years until she becomes of marriageable age. Let's wait and see. I need to find a good family for my younger sister. " Speaking of her younger sister, she sighed, "In truth, the Feng family's fourth daughter, Feng Fendai, has a good life. Although His Highness the Fifth Prince was preposterous in the past and did not gain Father Emperor's favor, ever since he set his sights on Fendai, his actions have truly caused people to look at him in a different light."
"It's just a pity that your younger sister does not know how to cherish her. I heard that Fifth Brother is taking care of the Feng manor. Even like this, Feng Fendai is still often unhappy. When she causes a ruckus, she can even go to the Li Palace to smash things, and Fifth Brother has always endured it."
Feng Yu Heng shrugged, "A person's life, no matter how you talk about it, it is still in your own hands. The kind of attitude you put in will determine the kind of return you will receive. The heavens are very fair. "
The two chatted for a while longer before Feng Yu Heng stood up. Holding a cup of wine, she left the table. When she stopped, she had arrived at the male guest's side, Yao Shu's side.
The six young masters of the Yao family had all arrived, and they just happened to be sitting together. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng had arrived, they were all very happy. The group surrounded this treasured younger cousin and chatted for a long time. Feng Yu Heng had a rather good impression of these older cousins, especially the youngest one. He was only a few years older than her, and he still had some youthful air; however, he was the most handsome of the six sons of the Yao family.
After chatting with everyone for a while, she raised her cup and leaned closer to Yao Shu. Suddenly, she quietly asked: "Eldest brother, if your wife insists on harming me, tell me, as your younger cousin, what should I do?"
Yao Shu was startled. He did not think that Feng Yu Heng would suddenly say this sort of thing. In fact, when she said this, she even had a smile on her face. Nobody could have thought that a girl with a smile would actually say such a thing that was filled with anger.
However, Yao Shu was after all a person with a brain. He believed that Feng Yu Heng's words would not be without aim. For the other party to say this, there must be a reason and objective. As for himself, he also had his own standpoint, and that was — "Younger sister Heng, if we are talking about matters between husband and wife, I will always give in to her on account of our past relationship. This is what a man should do. However, the Yao family is kind and reasonable, but they will definitely not allow others to bully and humiliate them. If she has the heart to harm others, especially those of my Yao family, then younger cousin, you can just do it. I, your eldest brother, will definitely not tolerate it. "
When Yao Shu said this, his gaze was resolute, and he did not even lower his voice. Thus, this sentence was clearly heard by the other five sons of the Yao family. Everyone could not help but be stunned. They all looked at Yao Shu with questioning gazes, but even more were in agreement. The second son, Yao Sen, even agreed, saying: "Ever since we were young, grandfather has taught us to be kind to others, but in recent years, grandfather has even told us that kindness is not blind kindness. It needs to be considered. It needs to see if the person you are kind to is worth it or not. If it is not worth it, or if it goes against the saints, there is no need to be kind. Just give them a taste of their own medicine. "
Yao Shu nodded then looked at Feng Yu Heng, "Heng Heng, although eldest brother does not know what exactly you mean by these words, eldest brother trusts younger sister Heng. On the other hand, I do not trust Lu Yao. That's why, if Lu Yao has not done anything to harm others and has only done what she did on the day of the wedding, eldest brother will ask younger sister for a favor. Younger sister will forgive her. But if she does something unjust after this, younger sister Heng, eldest brother will still say the same thing. You can just do it. "
Aside from Yao Shu, everyone else in the Yao family disliked Lu Yao. Even Yao Shu himself had a bit of a grudge against Lu Yao. It was just that they were kind-hearted and wanted to turn big matters into small ones and small ones into nothing. As long as Lu Yao was able to keep her place in the future, the previous matters would be written off. However, who knew that Lu Yao did not have such a stable mind.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said to Yao Shu: "With eldest brother saying this, it's good. As for what Lu Yao did, I will explain it clearly to eldest aunty after we return today. "
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left. However, she saw Lu Yao looking over with a look of worry on her face. Feng Yu Heng turned around and walked over to Lu Yao's side.
Lu Yao saw her suddenly come over and suddenly trembled. Xu shi, who had been sitting at her side, frowned and asked: "What happened to you?"
Lu Yao quickly replied: "It's nothing, mother. Perhaps it was the sound of the drums that suddenly got louder and gave me a fright."
Xu shi slightly furrowed her brow and did not say anything; however, she saw Feng Yu Heng arrive at the table. A smile immediately appeared on her face and she reached out to her: "Heng Heng, quickly come and sit."
Lu Yao saw this and hated it. She had married into the Yao family; however, she was unable to receive any true love from her mother-in-law. Although she had never been treated well, it was as though there was a veil between them that made her feel awkward. It was Feng Yu Heng that had come, and Xu shi was like a loving mother, as a smile bloomed on her face. Her hands were balled up into fists in her sleeves, and the roots of her teeth itched. She then looked at the clothes that Feng Yu Heng had already changed out of, and she hated that she could not strangle this person to death on the spot.
Unfortunately, while she had this desire, she did not have the courage. As for Feng Yu Heng, while she was chatting, she had already said something that caused a chill to run down her spine: "There are some people that don't have brains, and the methods they use are too low class. This imperial daughter disdained to cause trouble for you; however, there are some people that refuse to let go. Even if this imperial daughter is a piece of delicious meat, there's no need for you to continue to follow behind me like a dog. Lu Yao, pray for your own good fortune. "
After she said this, she bid farewell to her aunts then turned and left the table. Lu Yao's complexion, however, was frighteningly pale. Xu shi saw this and could not help but ask: "What's wrong with you now?"
Lu Yao was so panicked that she did not hear what Xu shi had said. Her mind was filled with Feng Yu Heng telling her to pray for her own good fortune. Her arms could not help but tremble, as she stared fixedly in the direction that Feng Yu Heng had left in. It was as though she was a wolf looking for a human.
Xu shi was extremely shocked and grabbed Lu Yao's wrist, coldly shouting: "Lu Yao!" This shout finally brought Lu Yao's soul back; however, Xu shi had not finished speaking: "If you want to be the Yao family's daughter-in-law, you need to obediently be a good person. If you don't even know how to be a good person, do not blame my son for divorcing you! "
Lu Yao was extremely shocked.
At the same time, Feng Yu Heng stopped in her tracks. She saw a palace servant whisper something into Princess Wen Xuan's ear. Princess Wen Xuan's expression was solemn …
