Imperial Daughter's Manor
Xuan Tianhua's sudden visit gave Feng Yu Heng, who was in the middle of bathing the little white tiger, a bit of a pleasant surprise. However, what was even more pleasantly surprised than her was the little white tiger that was still in the tub of water.
Feng Yu Heng did not have any shower gel for tigers, but she had some for dogs in her space. She directly used it to bathe Little White. At this time, Little White, who was still covered in bubbles, saw Xuan Tianhua and actually let out a cry before jumping out of the tub of water. It rushed over at a flying speed and tightly hugged Xuan Tianhua's thigh. It hung onto his robes and was unwilling to let go.
Feng Yu Heng was speechless. Why was this tiger the same as Feng Zhao Lian?
Xuan Tianhua was not unfamiliar with this little thing. After all, he had taken care of the mother tiger when he was in the eastern border. Thus he did not mind the bubbles covering its body. Reaching out, he picked it up and even sniffed it. Only then did he ask Feng Yu Heng: "What is this? It smells so good? "
Feng Yu Heng thought for a bit. It seemed that she had only given Xuan Tianhua toothpaste and a toothbrush before. She had never given him shower gel before, so she quickly said: "It's something that is used specifically for bathing animals. There are also things that are used specifically for bathing people. In a bit, when Seventh Brother leaves, I will give you some."
Xuan Tianhua naturally did not refuse, "Your things are always good." While saying this, he rubbed the little white tiger. The little guy continued to snuggle into his embrace. In just a short while, Xuan Tianhua's white robes were completely soaked.
Feng Yu Heng helplessly carried the little thing back and placed it back in the tub of water to continue bathing. The little white tiger cried out a few times, but it was unable to escape from Feng Yu Heng's clutches. Xuan Tianhua found this interesting and went forward to help her bathe the tiger. While splashing the water, he said to her: "There is news about the compensation from the prefect of Luo Province."
Feng Yu Heng's eyes lit up. "How much are they prepared to pay?"
Xuan Tianhua felt helpless when he saw her like this. "It's not like you're really short of money. It's one thing for us to bluff outsiders, but why do we have to put on such a show in private?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head. "Who says I'm not short of money? I'm short of money. Although he had spent quite a bit of money over the years, most of it had already been spent. Hundred Herb Hall needed to expand and invest. It didn't sound like much, but in reality, it was an astonishing amount of money. Seventh Brother, I didn't tell you in detail, but my Hundred Herb Hall is different from other medicine shops and clinics. It was built according to my ideas and requirements. Although it was still far from the ideal requirement, it had to be perfected step by step. I hope that this world will become better. As for those corrupt officials or those treacherous officials who are not of one mind with the court, their wealth will be the best source of wealth for us to govern the world. "
Xuan Tianhua agreed with her words, thus he told her: "The prefect of Luo Province is willing to use sixty percent of the Mu family's assets to compensate for the Eastern Sea pearl. I feel it's fine. What do you think? "
"If Seventh Brother says it's fine, then it's fine. I don't understand these things and don't have much of a concept. It's fine as long as we don't lose money."
Xuan Tianhua told her: "It's not just not losing money, it's making a huge profit. Although that pearl is a rare item, it's just a plaything in the end. The Mu family has guarded Luo Province for close to ten years. There are too many caravans in the South, and Dashun and Gu Shu have the closest trade. His family's assets are very rich. With this, you've made a lot of money. "
"That's also due to Seventh Brother's efforts. I didn't do anything." She giggled and asked Xuan Tianhua, "Say, will the prefect of Luo Province be so angry that he won't be able to sleep? He won't be thinking of ways to get revenge on us, right? "
Xuan Tianhua shook his head, "He definitely won't be able to sleep, but he doesn't have the ability to get revenge on us in the capital. However, after returning to the South, he will definitely need to communicate with Eighth Brother. This is something that we can't control. Eighth Brother's influence in the South is already very large. If they have close relations, it will indeed be a hidden danger for the court. Fortunately, Ming already has a plan to go there. I believe that after he goes there, the situation will be a bit calmer. As for being evenly matched, it won't be too passive. "
"It's a pity that he said he won't bring me along." Feng Yu Heng sighed, "I really want to go there and take a look. You know that I can't stay idle. If he goes to the South and you go to the East, I'll be left alone in the capital. Just thinking about it makes me panic."
The atmosphere was a bit stifling at the mention of this topic. Feng Yu Heng didn't want to continue. Since the little white tiger had just finished bathing, she simply scooped it out of the water and placed it on a large blanket, wrapping it in her arms. She actually really wanted to go into the space to give the little white tiger some air, but with Xuan Tianhua around, it wasn't convenient for her to go in and out.
The two played with the little white tiger and at the same time agreed on a date for the Luotian prefectural magistrate to send the compensation. Not long after, Huang Quan walked in from outside and whispered a few words in Feng Yu Heng's ear. Feng Yu Heng frowned and stuffed the little white tiger into Huang Quan's arms. Then she stood up and smiled at Xuan Tianhua, "I have to go out to do something. Is Seventh Brother willing to come along?"
Xuan Tianhua nodded, "I'll go with you."
But the part of his robe that had been soaked by the little white tiger had not dried yet. Feng Yu Heng thought for a bit and simply had him take off his robe. She then brought it into the room and entered the space while no one was paying attention. Using a hairdryer, she quickly dried the area before coming out of the space. She handed the robe back to Xuan Tianhua, and the two brought their own servants out of the manor. They then got into the imperial carriage that Xuan Tianhua had come in.
At this time, in the Yao family's other courtyard, Yao shi was staring at an unfamiliar maidservant with eyes filled with caution and rejection. The maidservant looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old and was very well-mannered. She respectfully saluted Yao shi then stood to the side, waiting for her new master to ask her questions.
Yao shi was never a person with strong interpersonal skills. She was angry, but she didn't know what to say. She looked towards Fu Ya for help. Fu Ya nodded and took the initiative to ask the maidservant: "You said that you were sent by the Wen Xuan Palace?"
The maidservant nodded, "Replying to miss, this servant is Tian Qing and was sent by Princess Wen Xuan to take care of Lady Yao."
"But we already have enough servants here, and they were all arranged by the Yao manor. We are very comfortable with them and do not need another one. We appreciate Princess Wen Xuan's good intentions, but you … should go back first and thank the princess for us. "
The maidservant was clearly prepared to be rejected and chased away. She was not surprised by Fu Ya's words in the slightest. Instead, she appeared very calm. She smiled and replied to Fu Ya, saying: "When we came, the princess said that everything in the Yao family's other courtyard has been arranged very well. The number of people is just right, not too much and not too little. There is no need to worry about not taking care of everything, and it will not be crowded. But miss, look, Lady Yao and the princess have been good playmates since childhood. Perhaps she does not need anyone to take care of her daily needs, but this servant has been at the princess' side since childhood. Thinking about it, accompanying Lady Yao to chat is the best. "
"I don't need anyone to chat with me." Yao shi coldly threw out these words, which caused the maidservant to be stunned. Before she had come, Princess Consort Wen Xuan had only told her that she had to keep a close eye on the girl called Fu Ya in the other courtyard. As for this Lady Yao, she had only said that the two of them had grown up together. She wanted her to chat with Lady Yao more and talk about the past to improve their relationship.
Tian Qing never thought that the conversation between her and Yao shi would begin with this sort of opening. It was not friendly in the slightest. There was not even the slightest bit of the feelings of having grown up together that Princess Wen Xuan had mentioned. Yao shi did not even reveal a smile from beginning to end. She even asked her very cautiously: "How long will you be staying in the other courtyard?"
Tian Qing was startled then replied: "This servant will be staying here to take care of the madam!"
Yao shi's brow immediately furrowed, and her voice became shrill. Her body could not help but lean forward, "What did you say? You'll be staying here the entire time? "
Fu Ya quickly went to support her and comforted her at the same time: "Mother, don't panic. You must not get angry. If there is anything, daughter will ask." After saying this, she looked at Tian Qing and said to her: "My mother usually only chats with me. She does not like speaking with the servants. We will say the same thing. I appreciate Princess Wen Xuan's good intentions. You can go back!"
"But … …"
"There are no buts." Fu Ya said with a heavy expression, "You also saw it. My mother's health is not very good. You standing here is very displeasing. You might even cause her to get angry. I think that if my mother's condition worsens because of you, that is not the result that Princess Wen Xuan wants to see, right? "
"Is Miss the madam's adopted daughter?" Tian Qing was smart. Seeing that one path would not work, she simply did not continue with the previous topic and asked about something else. At the same time, she went to pick up a cushion that Yao shi had dropped in her agitation.
Fu Ya only cared about supporting Yao shi and did not pay attention to her, only replying: "She is not an adopted daughter."
Yao shi also said: "She is my biological daughter. How could she be an adopted daughter? Do the servants of your Wen Xuan Palace know how to speak? Do you even have a master in your eyes? She is my daughter. In this residence, if you call me madam, you need to call her young miss. Do you understand? "
Although Tian Qing was puzzled, she still quickly agreed: "This servant understands. Would Madam please be at ease. In the future, this servant will definitely follow the rules of the manor. Young miss. "She called out to Fu Ya and saluted to her.
Fu Ya was startled and exchanged a glance with Yao shi. This meant that this servant was being taken in? But their original intention was to chase her away, right?
Yao shi's heart burned with anger. She did not want to see Tian Qing again, thus she waved her hand: "You can leave. Do not come in without orders."
"Yes, madam." Tian Qing obediently left. It was her first day at the residence. Being able to stay was already a great fortune. She was in no rush.
Seeing Tian Qing leave, Fu Ya quickly went to close the door. When she returned, she heard Yao shi say: "In the end, we are just a small family. There are not as many people that come out of the palace. In just a few words, madam was able to keep her. What should we do in the future? " While she spoke, she sighed, "Princess Wen Xuan and I did have a good relationship in the past. We grew up together. But I don't know why, but ever since I went to the palace to ask for an invitation for you, I felt that her heart was no longer with me. Her words were always criticizing me and talking about you … Hah, forget it. Let's not talk about it. Right now, there's one of them in the manor. I fear that we will not have as much freedom in the future. "
Fu Ya furrowed her brow tightly and comforted Yao shi for a while. After thinking a bit, she said to Yao shi: "Mother, sit down for a while. Daughter will go out and see what that servant is doing. Since she has come, we cannot be too passive." After saying this, she walked out the door. When she saw Tian Qing again, she did not say another word. She just walked forward and fiercely slapped Tian Qing across the face!
