Feng Yu Heng did not understand what this wastrel of a father meant. Frowning, she looked at her guards, hoping that they could provide an explanation. Unfortunately, the guards also did not know what was going on. They could only tell her: "Master Feng came last night. Not long after imperial daughter left, he came. Hearing that imperial daughter was not here, he waited the entire time at the gate. The night was cold, and this subordinate feared that he would freeze to death, thus this subordinate asked Huang Quan to bring him a blanket. "
Feng Yu Heng could not help but sigh: "Feng Jin Yuan, you really are lucky. I don't know what sort of kindness Huang Quan felt last night, but she actually brought you a blanket. If this was in the past, she would have been eager for you to freeze to death." After saying this, she flicked her sleeve and walked forward, "Come in. Don't lose face at the entrance of the manor."
Upon hearing that he was allowed to enter, Feng Jin Yuan let out a long sigh and quickly followed behind her. Perhaps it was because he had been curled up outside for too long, but his body was a little stiff. Unable to stand up, he fell back down. The guards at the gate had no choice but to go forward and help him into the front hall.
Huang Quan had followed Feng Yu Heng ever since she entered the courtyard. Seeing Feng Jin Yuan, a look of disdain appeared on her face. But her mood was clearly quite good. After entering the front hall, she told the guards to help Feng Yu Heng to a chair. She then ordered a servant to prepare some warm tea. This caused Feng Yu Heng to be extremely puzzled.
But how could Feng Jin Yuan be in the mood to drink warm tea. Upon sitting down, he raised his hand to wipe away some tears. While wiping, he complained to Feng Yu Heng: "Heng, you are the daughter of the first wife. You must control your fourth sister. She relies on the power of the fifth prince and never looks down on anyone else, including me, her father. At home, she either hits or curses me. She has never left me with the slightest bit of face. That's fine. Who told me to eat her food and live in her house. I can endure being hit and cursed. But Heng, do you know? Just last night, Feng Fen Dai actually did not allow me to enter the manor. Even all of the servants in the manor listened to her and refused to let me, the master, into the manor! Mr. Heng, if you don't help me, I'm going to end up on the streets! "
Feng Jin Yuan cried and complained, and quite a few tears really did fall, but these tears were unable to move anyone. Also, no matter how one looked at it, he looked like a gossipy old woman that sold vegetables at the market. One sentence after another, he used gossip to talk about other people's gossip. Feng Yu Heng didn't like what she heard, but Huang Quan was excited. "What did you say? You were chased out by Feng Fendai? Hahahaha! Master Feng, I didn't expect you to have such a day! " When she said the last sentence, her expression turned cold. Then, she tilted her head and asked Feng Yu Heng, "Miss, this really is yesterday's reenactment!"
"That's right." Feng Yu Heng fiddled with the teacup in her hand. "Back then, the three of us were also driven out of our house. We had no one to turn to for help and we shed a lot of tears. Hah! "She sighed," It really is yesterday's reenactment! "
Feng Jin Yuan's sobbing came to an abrupt stop. One of his hands was still in front of his eyes like a woman's; however, he stared blankly at Feng Yu Heng, as a cold feeling filled his heart.
Yesterday's reenactment? Was she going to settle an old debt with him? Speaking like this, he had made a mistake in coming to the imperial daughter's manor to ask for help? Why was this girl so vengeful? But … aside from the imperial daughter's manor, where else could he go?
"Mr. Heng." He thought for a bit and made a decision, "The things of the past are in the past. Father also knows that what I did was wrong, but there was nothing that I could do. At that time, you were still young and did not know much, but you should not know that at that time, the elder madam was still alive. With her alive, she was the one that made the decisions in the manor. With the Yao family's situation, the elder madam was still a madam. Her first reaction was to protect herself. There was nothing wrong with that. That's why I said that sending the three of you away was the elder madam's idea. It was not father's idea! "As he spoke, he began to sob once more.
Feng Yu Heng facepalmed, "I really have to hand it to you. As a man, you don't shoulder any of the responsibilities that you should shoulder. If something happens, you push it onto someone else. You don't even treat the deceased elder madam too well. This really is …" What could she say about him? It seemed that she had already said all sorts of heartless things, yet Feng Jin Yuan still did not want any face. This left her with no other options. "Forget it, forget it. I can't be bothered to settle an old debt with you."
Feng Jin Yuan's eyes lit up, "Really? You won't settle an old debt? "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "I'm tired."
"That's great!" Feng Jin Yuan nearly jumped up, "Since it won't be settled, that means you've agreed to take me in? You've agreed to let me move into the imperial daughter's manor? "
Feng Yu Heng nearly spat out a mouthful of tea. Was there something wrong with this person's brain? "We won't settle an old debt, but what does that have to do with whether or not you move in? Don't forget, we still have a new debt. "
"New debt?" Feng Jin Yuan was stunned, "Where did the new debt come from? When did I have a new debt with you? Heng Heng, I did not dare offend you in the slightest today! You can't place all of your debts on me. "
"I did not offend you in the slightest, but based on my understanding of you, you could offend me at any time!" While she spoke, she shook her head, "To be chased out of the family by a daughter of a concubine, I really can't understand. How exactly did you manage to be a father?"
Feng Jin Yuan also did not know how exactly he managed to be a father. He was clearly living a good life, so how did he end up in this sort of situation?
He slumped down in his chair, as a feeling of having nothing left to live for surged forth. The aura of death had already begun to linger around his body. Feng Jin Yuan thought that he should be dying before long, right? He had been tossed around by these daughters. Today, one would scold him. Tomorrow, another would scold him. The day after, he would be chased out of the family. What sort of life was this? What had he done? Had he not just gone to the Lian residence to help out for a day? How had he caused Feng Fen Dai to become so angry that she no longer allowed him in? What did him going to the Lian residence have to do with Feng Fen Dai?
The more Feng Jin Yuan thought, the angrier he became, but he no longer had the strength to fight for anything. He only hoped that he could find a place to settle down. Regardless of whether it was the Feng manor or the imperial daughter's manor, as long as someone could take him in, he did not want to fight for anything else.
With a look of expectation, he looked at Feng Yu Heng. He saw this second daughter quietly say something to her maidservant. After speaking for a while, the maidservant nodded and left, leaving him and Feng Yu Heng. For a while, the room became frighteningly quiet.
"Heng Heng." He tried calling out once more. She was clearly not even 40 years old; however, she was already so old that it seemed as though she was almost 50. But who could he blame for this? This debt was all brought on by his own actions. He could not live. "Heng Heng." He sighed, "Help me. If I sleep on the streets every day, it would not be good for your reputation, right? I won't ask for anything else. Just take me in and give me a small room to live in. I don't want a main courtyard, a side courtyard, a side courtyard is fine. If it's a side courtyard, it would be inconvenient. How about … a firewood room? "
His voice carried a pleading tone. This was the first time that he had not asked for anything else. To Feng Yu Heng, this was something that was very rare. She enjoyed it for a while, and this caused Feng Jin Yuan to feel very embarrassed.
"I say …" Feng Yu Heng leaned forward, "You were the left prime minister for so many years. How exactly did you manage to be the left prime minister? Now that you've been kicked out of your position, you don't even have the slightest bit of analytical ability left? "
"Hm?" Feng Jin Yuan did not understand what she meant, "What analytical ability? No, Heng Heng, I am currently talking to you about taking me in to live in the imperial daughter's manor. What does this have to do with me being the left prime minister in the past? "
"Of course, it's related." Feng Yu Heng leisurely sat in her chair. Holding a cup of tea in one hand and a pastry in the other, she asked Feng Jin Yuan: "To be an official, aside from having a wealth of knowledge and having a strong family background, what else is needed?"
Feng Jin Yuan was stunned, "What else is needed? No, I don't know. "
Feng Yu Heng sighed, "That's why I said that I don't understand how you managed to be the left prime minister for so many years. You don't even know the most important thing to be an official, a clear and rational mind. It seems that your previous position really was obtained by relying on the Yao family's support." She looked at Feng Jin Yuan, and a fierce light appeared in her eyes. This scared Feng Jin Yuan so much that he did not dare look up to meet her gaze. Feng Yu Heng did not continue to scare him, only saying to him: "The clear and rational mind that I spoke of was also to remind you to analyze things a little more. Perhaps after analyzing things, you will not end up in such an embarrassing situation."
Feng Jin Yuan was completely dazed. He was completely unable to understand what Feng Yu Heng was saying. What was there to analyze? Could it be that if he thought a little more, Feng Fen Dai would change her mind and allow him in? These were completely two different things!
But Feng Yu Heng did not believe that they were two different things. She told Feng Jin Yuan: "The current Feng manor was something that the fifth prince discussed with you when he wanted to marry Feng Fen Dai. Oh, to be more accurate, it was an exchange. He gave you a residence in exchange for agreeing to his marriage with Fen Dai. It could be considered a bribe. That's why that residence can't even be considered a betrothal gift from the Li Palace to the Feng family. That's the personal property that he gave you. It was used … to buy your fourth daughter. "
Although the words were unpleasant to hear, the reasoning provided Feng Jin Yuan with a new perspective. Thinking a little more, it seemed that this topic had been discussed before, but why was it that he had forgotten about it when faced with Feng Fen Dai's threat? Feng Jin Yuan felt that he had been revived from the dead. Earlier, he had felt that there was nothing left to live for. Now that he thought about it, he was actually quite rich! It was not that he did not have anything. He still had a large residence!
Feng Jin Yuan jumped up in joy. He did not even pay any attention to Feng Yu Heng, as he turned and walked out. Feng Yu Heng looked at this father that did not have a conscience. She could not even be bothered to get angry, but to pour cold water on his enthusiasm, she was very happy to do it.
Thus, while Feng Jin Yuan's smile was still on his face, while Feng Jin Yuan's heart was still filled with joy from suddenly becoming rich, a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured over him "What is it, are you preparing to go to the government office to investigate the details of the deed then go look for Feng Fen Dai to settle the debt? You need to think it through carefully. The residence is yours, but the things that you eat and use each month are all provided by the fifth prince. Offending Feng Fen Dai today, you will not have a good ending. "
Feng Jin Yuan froze in place and turned his head mechanically. Looking at Feng Yu Heng, he opened his mouth and asked in a crumbling voice: "Then … what should I do?"
Feng Yu Heng spread her hands, "How should I know." While she spoke, Huang Quan came in from the outside and whispered a few words into her ear. After that, Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow and looked back at Feng Jin Yuan, coldly saying: "Servant, send the Feng family's master out of the manor. If he continues to linger in front of the imperial daughter's manor, just beat him."
