Feng Xiang Rong struck Fu Ya with a "smack" sound. It was so fierce that it caused everyone in the room to tremble. Some of the servants that had come with Fu Ya rushed forward and wanted to stop Xiang Rong; however, they heard Xiang Rong coldly say: "I am the Feng family's third young miss. I am the embroidery master of the fourth prince, Xuan Tian Yi. Are you certain that you want to take action against me?"
The people taking care of Fu Ya were nothing more than maidservants and grannies that had been bought from the outside. None of them were presentable. How could they possibly endure the shock of Xiang Rong's words. Fu Ya watched her own people retreat with looks of fear on their faces, and anger filled her heart; however, she was able to clearly see the difference between her and the true nobles of the capital. He could casually pull out a backer. No matter how capable he was, his name would always scare people. But what about herself? The servants at her side had been bought. They were crude people bought from human traffickers. Their loyalty was completely dependent on money, and they had not seen much of the world. With just a few words, they could be scared stiff. As for her, she relied completely on Yao shi. She called herself Young Miss Feng, but in reality, she was just pretending. In front of the true Feng family's young miss, what did she count for?
Xiang Rong looked at Fu Ya coldly, without a trace of emotion. Fu Ya, however, wanted to regain some face, so she gritted her teeth and called out: "Third sister."
Who knew that Xiang Rong would immediately reply: "Don't call me third sister. There is not the slightest bit of relationship between you and me. Moreover, I still don't want to die. The Feng family also doesn't want to die. You insulted the Emperor and Consort Yun in front of so many people in the capital. Fu Ya, if you don't want to live anymore, don't drag the Feng family and the Yao family down with you! No matter how great the enmity between you and Imperial Daughter Ji An is, you can go outside and settle it yourselves. Don't act wildly in my embroidery shop. Today, you insulted his Majesty and Imperial Concubine Yun. I will remember this debt. It would be best if you thought about how you would like to die. On account of you taking care of Madam Yao, perhaps I can help you fight for it. "
Fu Ya trembled. Xiang Rong's words had sent her straight to the guillotine. This was something that she was not prepared for in the slightest. It wasn't that they hadn't inquired before. They all knew that the Feng family's third young miss was a concubine's daughter. Her personality was weak, and even her birth mother was unknown. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly in the manor. Because the manor didn't provide for them, they could only run this embroidery shop outside and support themselves. She originally thought that Feng Xiang Rong was a soft persimmon, but looking at it now, this was completely different from the information she knew?
Fu Ya thought quickly but was not completely frightened by Xiang Rong. Her face only paled a little, but she very quickly recovered. She then smiled and said to Xiang Rong: "What sort of thing are you saying. Third sister, don't scare elder sister like this. As for whether or not we are related, it doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge it. Either way, I am only the daughter of a concubine. Now, the Feng family's fourth young miss has already acknowledged me. My mother has also acknowledged me. Even my father is courteous to me. Even the people from the Yao manor are polite to me when they come to the courtyard. That's why, third sister, whether or not you acknowledge me, elder sister does not care too much. I'm just reminding third sister that elder sister made a mistake today and said something that I shouldn't have said. This is the truth, but if third sister is so resolute, thinking about it, it won't be good for the Feng family or the Yao family. That's why I hope that younger sister will reconsider. "
After Fu Ya finished speaking, Xiang Rong fell silent for a while. It was very clear that Fu Ya's words caused her to have some misgivings. But Huang Quan was completely unable to think of that much. She just felt that Fu Ya's words were too harsh, and she could not help but rush to say: "What are you so happy about? Don't forget that the people that heard you were not just the Feng family's third young miss. There was also us and Princess Ji 'an. You want to refuse to pay for this debt? You're dreaming. "
"Oh?" Fu Ya looked at Huang Quan. For the first time, she felt that she did not need to fear this servant, thus she said: "Then you can try to expose it. It's fine if I alone die, but there are so many people that will be buried with me. The Feng family, the Yao family, thinking about it, it will be enough. Go ahead and expose it. Let's see who will suffer more losses. "
Huang Quan was so angry that she wanted to slap her; however, she was stopped by Feng Yu Heng, "Do you want to drag down the Feng and Yao families to be buried with you?" Feng Yu Heng said with a smile, "One person made a mistake, and two entire families will be buried with you. Looking at everything else, it really is quite pitiful. But … what does that have to do with me? Are you using the method that you used to threaten the Feng family's third young miss to threaten me? "
Fu Ya was startled. It was only today that she realized that Feng Yu Heng's falling out with the Feng and Yao families was actually true. She was a little at a loss on what to do and a little worried. If Feng Yu Heng really did not care about the lives of the two families and exposed this matter, would she not die? Fu Ya repeatedly looked around, wanting to think of a way to get out of the predicament of not being able to use her eyes. Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Feng Xiang Rong say: "Imperial Daughter Ji An, what did you hear? Did something big happen that will implicate the Feng and Yao families? "
Fu Ya was startled and looked at Feng Xiang Rong in shock. This sudden turn of events caused her to feel very surprised; however, she was able to understand why Feng Xiang Rong had changed her mind and wanted to help her. It was nothing more than wanting to save the Feng and Yao families from this crisis. It did not have much to do with her personally. But she was also happy to see this play. The Feng family's third young miss and Feng Yu Heng had a direct confrontation. This play was very entertaining.
Fu Ya took a couple steps back and crossed her arms. Looking at the two people in front of her with the attitude of watching a play, she then heard Feng Yu Heng ask: "Third young miss Feng, what is the meaning of this?"
Feng Xiang Rong was expressionless. She just stared at Feng Yu Heng. Nobody could guess what she was feeling at this time. She just said to Feng Yu Heng seriously: "I did not hear anything, and I did not see anything. Of the people in this room, aside from the people you brought, everyone else will keep their mouths shut about what happened today. That's why, Princess Ji 'an, please go back. " She gestured for the guest to leave and did not care about Feng Yu Heng's objections, as she urged: "Quickly leave. This small shop still needs to open for business. Your status is high and cannot support a deity like you."
Feng Yu Heng did not say anything; however, she gave Wang Chuan a look. This Huang Quan was frank and outspoken, but Wang Chuan was a meticulous person. With just a glance, he immediately understood what his young miss meant, thus he took a step forward and said to Feng Xiang Rong: "Feng family's third young miss, your ability to lie with a straight face is quite good. Do you know what sort of crime you have committed by harboring someone who dares to insult the Emperor? "
Xiang Rong still had the same appearance. It was as though she had not seen Wang Chuan, as she continued to stare at Feng Yu Heng. After a while, she said: "Either way, if you did not see it, you did not see it. If you did not hear it, you did not hear it. If Princess Ji 'an wants to fight a lawsuit with us, we will accompany you. You only have three people, while we have so many witnesses. Imperial Daughter is a smart person. I think that you will not go to the government office with us commoners to lose face, right? "
Feng Yu Heng smiled. To Fu Ya, this smile was one of arrogance; however, nobody understood just how much relief was contained within this smile. "Forget it." She only stared at Xiang Rong; however, she said to Wang Chuan, "This imperial daughter indeed does not have the time or inclination for that. Let's go. What is there to say to people like them? Just looking at them is enough to cause people to panic. "
Feng Yu Heng finally walked out of the embroidery shop. Her head was still held high, and the aura of an imperial daughter could not be matched by anyone. There were quite a few people inside and outside the embroidery shop that had seen this play. She was certain that very quickly, news of Princess Ji 'an and the Feng family's third young miss arguing would spread throughout the capital. At the same time, the Feng family's third young miss would be standing on the same side as the young miss from the Yao family's other courtyard. Also, the people had clearly heard the young miss from the other courtyard say that the Feng family's master and the current fourth young miss had both acknowledged her. It seemed that Princess Ji 'an was indeed alone without any relatives.
Feng Yu Heng stepped on the snow, and the crunching sounds were very pleasant. Huang Quan slowly came around and understood that all of this was done deliberately by her young miss. It was for the sake of having the Princess Ji 'an and the Feng and Yao families become enemies once again. But she still felt that it was unfair for Feng Yu Heng, "Does young miss have to be like this? Although it is for their own good, this servant's heart still feels uncomfortable. "
Feng Yu Heng turned around and comforted her: "What is this bit of discomfort right now? If I do not do this, there will be even more discomfort in the future. All of you can see that there are more and more dangers lurking around me. There will come a day when it will affect my family and friends. If I do not do everything possible to get rid of their relationship with me, when they become my weakness and become targets for my enemies, it will be too late to even cry. Moreover, Yao shi was never close to me. She acknowledged Fu Ya, and there is not much of my feelings for her left. There is nothing to feel regretful about. "
Hearing her say this, Huang Quan calmed down and did not bring up this matter again, but Feng Yu Heng continued: "But seeing the Xiang Rong today, I really am very gratified! She finally knows how to use the resources at her side to allow herself to remain in an invincible position. She will no longer be so easily bullied by others. This is really good. "
"That's right. Third young miss is much braver than before." Wang Chuan also praised, "Even concubine mother An is no longer as weak and frail as she was in the past."
Feng Yu Heng's gratified smile disappeared, as she brought her two servants to play in the snow. It was clear that she was in quite a good mood.
On the other side, inside the embroidery shop, Fu Ya was preparing to express her thanks to Xiang Rong for helping earlier. At the same time, she wanted to close the distance between herself and the Feng family's third young miss; however, she heard Xiang Rong say to her in a cold and emotionless voice: "Take the things you bought and quickly leave this place. Remember, since you are using the name of the Feng family's young miss to move around, pay attention to your words and actions. Don't think that you have truly threatened me. I just don't want to cause too much trouble. Otherwise, do you think that based on Princess Ji An's accusation, our words would have any weight? Quickly scram far away. Otherwise, I do not mind letting you see just how powerful the hidden guards that His Highness the fourth prince has placed around this embroidery shop are. "
Fu Ya was still very clear. Feng Xiang Rong just did not want the Feng family to be implicated, which was why she treated Feng Yu Heng like that. But on the other hand, she did not have a single good impression of her. She also had no intention of continuing to stay in this place, thus she snorted coldly and left with a group of servants carrying the things that she had bought.
Seeing her leave, An shi quickly had someone close the shop's doors. She would not accept any more business for the day. She then went to her daughter and wanted to say a few words of consolation; however, she saw that Xiang Rong's face was covered in tears. Biting her lower lip, she did her best to prevent herself from crying out loud. But she was close and could still hear Xiang Rong quietly say with a sobbing tone: "Second sister, you must take care of yourself."
