Calling her Young Miss Cousin meant that she was definitely a member of the Yao family. Feng Yu Heng and the others left the restaurant unsatisfied. Xuan Tianming wanted to accompany her back to the Yao manor but was rejected by her, saying: "This family matter, I alone am enough to deal with it. You don't need to get involved. You will lose face."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "If you say it like that, then it's true. Forget it, then Seventh Brother and I will send Xiang Rong back first. " Turning around again, Xiangrong was being supported by Xuan Tianhua. She drank until she was in a daze, spouting nonsense. One moment, she was calling His Highness the Seventh Prince, and the next moment, she was shouting Xuan Tianyi, you bastard. It was truly unbearable to watch.
Feng Yu Heng waved her hand, "Let's go quickly. We must not let anything happen to Xiang Rong."
The few of them separated in front of the restaurant. Feng Yu Heng sat in the carriage brought by the Yao family's servants and rushed back.
At this time, at the entrance of the Yao manor, Left Prime Minister Lu Song had personally come. Leading a group of servants, they carried a high-quality coffin and were talking to the Yao family's eldest son, Yao Jing Jun. But they heard Lu Song say: "My daughter died a tragic death. I heard that the Yao family set up the mourning hall in a side room and even now, they have not brought a coffin in. This Prime Minister does not know why the Yao family is like this, but as Yao 'er's father, I should do something for her. This mahogany coffin will be considered a gift from our Lu Family to the Yao family! "
His words were polite, but who could not understand that there was a hidden meaning in his words! This was clearly saying that the Yao family was unfair to Lu Yao and that the Yao family could not even afford a coffin and needed her family to send it over.
But Yao Jing Jun completely ignored it. He only told Lu Song in a serious manner: "It was set up in the side room because the cause of Lu Yao's death is still being investigated by the government. The origin of this incident is still to be investigated. When the government investigates clearly and proves Lu Yao's innocence, the Yao family will naturally move the mourning hall to the main hall. Also, as for the coffin, we have also prepared it. We are currently working on it, but we are not as fast as Lord Lu. " As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered the servants, "Send the coffin that Lord Lu sent to the mourning hall." Then, he turned to Prime Minister Lu and cupped his fists, "Prime Minister Lu, I've made you spend a lot of money. The mahogany coffins made by the Yao family are only made of ordinary materials. They're not as rich as the Lu Family. However, our Yao Clan has been exiled to the Barren State for many years, and we can't compare to the wealth accumulated by the Lu Clan in the capital. "
Lu Song's face alternated between red and white. He simply flung his wide sleeves and said angrily, "I won't talk to you. Go, call your father, Yao Xian, out!"
Yao Jing Jun was puzzled. "According to seniority, Prime Minister Lu and I are in-laws. We are of the same generation. My father is an elder. Why would a junior's funeral disturb my father in the middle of the night? He's not in good health and has already fallen asleep. "
"Fallen asleep?" Lu Song became furious, "With such a big thing happening in the family, he's actually still able to sleep?"
Yao Jing Jun's expression sank, as he coldly said: "Prime Minister Lu, although I don't have an official position, that does not mean that I need to fear you. My Yao family has always been upright. Today, the Lu Family's daughter has died. Why can't my Yao family sleep? If you have something to discuss, I will also stand before you. But what does this have to do with my father? Could it be that the Yao family's elders need to stand guard at the mourning hall for your Lu Family's daughter? "
Lu Song also knew that his accusations against Yao Xian were unfounded. He did not want to make this trip. But today, something had happened to Lu Yao, yet the Yao family had treated him like this. He truly could not accept this loss of face! In addition to this, Lu Yao's corpse was still in the government office, yet the Yao family did not go to retrieve it. What was this?
He glared fiercely at Yao Jing Jun and made a request of him: "Your Yao family must retrieve Yao 'er's corpse! No matter what is said, that is the Yao family's daughter-in-law! "
Yao Jing Jun shook his head, "There's nothing I can do."
"You …"
"What about me?" Yao Jing Jun looked at Lu Song in confusion, "You are the standard first rank left prime minister, yet you have no way of retrieving the corpse from the governor's hands. I am just a commoner without an official position. What can I do?"
"Yao Jing Jun!" Lu Song angrily shouted, "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Who doesn't know that Xu Jing Yuan listens to Feng Yu Heng? She is one of your Yao family's people. It's natural that your Yao family should speak! "
"Who is it that is directly calling this imperial daughter by her name?" Suddenly, a demanding voice came from behind. Feng Yu Heng had gotten out of her carriage and stood in front of Left Prime Minister Lu Song. This shocked Lu Song into subconsciously taking a couple steps back.
"Yao Jing Jun, you actually found a helper?" For some reason, Lu Song suddenly said this. Feng Yu Heng's sudden appearance caused him to be a little flustered. He had clearly already asked around and found out that Feng Yu Heng was currently with His Highness the Seventh Prince, the Ninth Highness, to look at the lanterns. Why had she returned in such a short period of time?
"What do you mean by finding a helper?" Yao Jing Jun looked at Lu Song with a look of disdain, "Heng Zheng is my niece. She was the Yao family's daughter to begin with. How could she be considered a helper."
"That's right." Huang Quan interjected, "Our young miss is in charge of the Yao family's matters. How could she be considered a helper? Also "She glared at Lu Song," Who was it that kept calling out Feng Yu Heng and Feng Yu Heng? You were the one who mentioned her first and called her first. What is it, now that our young miss is standing in front of you, are you afraid? "
Lu Song's heart was burning with anger. Reaching out, he pointed at Huang Quan, "You, a servant, what kind of thing are you? You dare to speak to this prime minister like this? "
Huang Quan did not speak. In terms of status, she did not have the right, but Feng Yu Heng spoke up for her, "The maidservant that the Imperial Palace Yu gave me, even I am reluctant to scold her. What right does Lord Lu have to discipline a servant on behalf of His Highness Prince Yu? How about … How about this imperial daughter send someone to call His Highness Prince Yu over, and you can criticize this girl in front of him? "
Lu Song could not catch his breath and nearly fainted, but he truly did not want to openly offend Feng Yu Heng. He could only angrily say: "What is imperial daughter saying, this official does not dare."
"What is there that Prime Minister Lu does not dare do?" She looked at Lu Song, "This is the Yao family's home. Your hand has already reached into the Yao family's home. What is there that you do not dare do? Oh, if this imperial daughter did not hear incorrectly, you were just preparing to cause a ruckus at the government office? "
"When did this happen?" Lu Song anxiously stomped his foot. When had he ever said that he would cause a ruckus at the government office. He just wanted to get Lu Yao's corpse back. He did not care too much about that daughter, especially after Lu Yao had ruined Lü Ping's face. He hated her even more. But even if he did not like her, she was still his daughter. If he allowed her corpse to remain in the government office and allowed Xu Jing Yuan to investigate this and that, where would the Lu Family's face be placed? "Imperial daughter must have misunderstood." He did his best to speak calmly with Feng Yu Heng, "This official just loves his daughter dearly and does not want to cause a ruckus at the government office. As for the Lu Family, they did not go to retrieve Yao 'er's corpse. They even set up the mourning hall in a side hall. This official just wanted to ask, why exactly is this? "
"Does Prime Minister Lu not know?" Feng Yu Heng explained to him: "A daughter that has been married off is like water that has been spilled. If she is not treated badly by her in-laws, that is because her life is not good. If Prime Minister Lu insists that the Yao family's actions are inappropriate, it would be better to set up Lu Yao's mourning hall in the Lu Family's home. If you want to set it up in the main hall, set it up in the main hall. If you want to set it up in a side hall, set it up in a side hall. How about it?"
"You …" Lu Song was rendered speechless once more.
But Feng Yu Heng continued: "As long as the Lu Family sets up the mourning hall, this imperial daughter will ask the governor for a favor and get Lu Yao's corpse back. But once this is the case, Lu Yao will return to the Lu Family and will no longer have anything to do with the Yao family. The Yao family will send a letter of divorce. From that moment forward, the two families will be clear. "
"No!" Lu Song was extremely shocked, "Imperial daughter, for a girl to be divorced is a great humiliation. Yao 'er did not do anything wrong. Her death was also an accident. The Yao family has no reason to divorce her!"
Feng Yu Heng smiled, "Lord Prime Minister Lu, don't speak too confidently about whether there was anything wrong or not. At present, the corpse is still in the government office. The governor, Xu Jing Yuan, is famous for being impartial. Who knows what he will find out. As for the Yao family divorcing her, that was your Lu Family's idea! Wasn't it you that felt that the Yao family's funeral was not dignified? That's why the Lu Family could only take care of it themselves. For a married daughter to return to her maternal family for a funeral, that just means that she does not have a husband's family. Her husband's family is clearly still present, so there is only the path of divorce. "She shrugged," That's why you see, it was all your own doing. We were just cooperating. "
Lu Song felt that he could not reason with Feng Yu Heng at all. This imperial daughter was the same as the Ninth Prince. They had formed their own faction, their own country, and even their own path. No matter what it was, they could speak their own reasoning. He was also an idiot. Why was he standing here and trying to reason with the Ninth Prince's wife? Was this not just seeking trouble for himself?
Thus Lu Song decided to ignore Feng Yu Heng, only saying to Yao Jing Jun: "Go and call Yao Shu out. Yao Xian is an elder, and Yao Shu is a junior, right? With things as they are, he still needs to call me father-in-law. I want to see him. If you continue to obstruct me, it would be the Yao family's fault. "
Yao Jing Jun nodded, "Of course, Prime Minister Lu is correct." After saying this, he ordered a servant at his side, "Go and call the eldest young master over."
The servant quickly left, and Yao Shu very quickly walked out of the manor.
His wife had died today. Although Yao Shu was already disheartened by Lu Yao, she was still someone that he had spent so much time with. Suddenly dying, even if he did not feel sad, he still felt emotional.
Yao Shu's etiquette was very appropriate. Seeing Lu Song, he saluted and greeted Lu Song. He then heard Lu Song ask: "Worthy son-in-law, something happened to Yao 'er today. This prime minister wants to know, what sort of attitude do you have on this matter?"
Yao Shu slightly furrowed his brow. He already thought that the Lu Family would come knocking; however, he did not think that it would be so quickly. The night of the 15th of the eighth month would not be allowed to pass peacefully.
He already had a plan in mind. Hearing this question, he did not feel any fear. He just cupped his hands and said: "Since lord father-in-law wants an attitude, this junior will give the Lu Family an attitude. Today, Lu Yao and my mother both fell into the water, and we already know that Lu Yao is very good at swimming. She definitely would not be so helpless because of a small lotus pond. That's why we suspect that Lu Yao fell into the water on purpose. As for my mother, she was used and deliberately dragged into the water. In regards to this, the Yao family has decided to make a report! "
