This sudden voice nearly caused Han shi's soul to leave her body. Feng Fen Dai's small face also turned pale with fear.
The two turned their heads to look and saw Tong Sheng pavilion's first-rate maidservant, Qing Yu, standing at the door.
"It seems that this servant came at a bad time. Concubine mother Han and fourth young miss will chat for a while. This servant will wait in the yard." Qing Yu had a cold expression and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Han shi quickly stopped her, "It's Qing Yu girl! Hah, look at what you're saying. You must have come for a reason. How could there be any reason for you to wait. " Pausing for a moment, she continued: "Fourth young miss injured her arm, so her temper is a bit short. Qing Yu girl, please don't take what you hear to heart!"
Qing Yu forced out a smile, "Second young miss told this servant to invite concubine mother Han to Tong Sheng pavilion. Concubine mother An was also invited."
"Oh!" Han shi was startled, "Did second young miss say what the matter was?"
Qing Yu glanced at Feng Fen Dai and said: "Second young miss once promised elder madam and master that when the accounts of concubine mother Yao's three shops have been investigated clearly, any surplus would be divided equally between elder madam, master, third young miss and fourth young miss. Now that the accounts have been investigated clearly, young miss invited the two concubine mothers over for a chat. "
Hearing that the money would be divided, Feng Fen Dai became spirited and hurried Han shi: "Quickly go, quickly go."
Han shi turned around and glared at her. She then said to Qing Yu: "Miss, please go ahead first. I will be right behind you."
Qing Yu nodded, "Then this servant will go ahead first." After saying this, she turned and left.
Han shi saw Qing Yu leave before returning to Feng Fen Dai's side. She angrily stomped her foot: "You don't know how to watch your mouth! That Qing Yu is Feng Yu Heng's first-rate maidservant. Did you not see how she has only been here for a few days, yet she is already putting on airs. If what she said just now was told to Feng Yu Heng, you will suffer. "
"Hmph." Fen Dai also knew that it would not be good if those words were heard. Quietly snorting, she no longer spoke. But after thinking about it, she couldn't help but remind Han shi: "In a moment, when Feng Yu Heng is distributing the money, you must remember to ask for more. Concubine mother An had her own shop. In the future, Xiang Rong's dowry would not be a problem. I don't have anything! "She said this while glaring at Han shi," You don't have any real ability. "
Han shi had been scolded by her daughter and felt extremely wronged; however, she also knew that she did not have the ability and did not have the ability to provide Fen Dai with a dowry.
"The Feng family is just unreasonable." Fen Dai propped up her aching arm and said in a muffled voice, "Once I meet a powerful character, I lose my temper."
Han shi was angry that she could not get over this: "That's a prince! What temper can the Feng family have? "
Once the Ninth Prince was mentioned, Fen Dai became spirited "On what basis should the marriage be hers? They were both daughters of concubines. What right did they have to arrange such a marriage for her? I remember that the marriage was arranged for the daughter of the first wife. "
"What of it?" Han shi was in a hurry to leave, but she could not help but advise Fen Dai: "Even if she did not marry Feng Yu Heng, it would not be your turn. If they wanted the daughter of the first wife, they would want Feng Chen Yu! "
"Don't the daughters of the first wife take turns?" Fen Dai was unconvinced and said to herself: "Since they take turns, sooner or later, it will be my turn! I am not afraid of waiting. " Looking again at Han shi, she angrily said: "In the past, you only knew how to curry favor with the Shen Clan. In the end, what benefits did you get? It's not even as good as the ones that slipped through Feng Yu Heng's fingers! Alright, alright, quickly go. Remember to ask for more money. That's the most important thing. "
Han shi had been chased out by Fen Dai. Fen Dai's twisted personality had caused her to become pessimistic. Arrogant and despotic, just like the Shen Clan. Even if the Shen Clan had a good maternal family, they still ended up like this. What did Fen Dai have? She was just the daughter of a concubine. Could the Feng family support her?
Han shi carried a complicated and uneasy feeling as she walked towards Tong Sheng pavilion. At the same time, she was worried about whether or not her cooperation with Chen Yu that night would be investigated by Feng Yu Heng.
When she finally arrived at Tong Sheng pavilion, the servant guarding the small door between the Feng manor and Tong Sheng pavilion gave her a slight salute and led her inside.
This was Han shi's first time coming here. She could not help but secretly sigh: Too grand.
Although she knew that this was a manor, personally seeing it gave her a different feeling. No wonder Fen Dai was unreconciled. They were both daughters of a concubine. With such a large difference, who could be reconciled?
When she arrived at Feng Yu Heng's courtyard, An shi had already arrived and was chatting with Feng Yu Heng. With a smile on their faces as they spoke, it looked lively and warm.
Han shi wanted to join in, but just as she opened her mouth, she did not even have the chance to let out her signature smile before she saw Feng Yu Heng's originally warm and cold expression immediately turn cold. She then said to her: "Concubine mother Han, you've come!"
Han shi closed her mouth and awkwardly nodded, saluting: "Greetings, second young miss."
"Un." Feng Yu Heng did not even say "no need to be polite." Naturally, she accepted her salute then said: "Today, I called the two concubine mothers over mainly because I have already investigated the accounts. Over the years, the head madam has embezzled a total of 200 thousand taels of silver. At that time, I said that this money would be given to grandmother and father. In addition, some will be given to my two younger sisters as dowries. Since everyone has a share, I would like to invite the two concubine mothers to come with me to see grandmother. I would like to ask grandmother to take back what belongs to us. "
Han shi heard her get straight to the point and quickly nodded: "Good! Good! "
Feng Yu Heng reminded the two: "Now that the head madam has been left in the temple, it is possible that this account will become a debt without an account. I hope that the two concubine mothers can think of a way."
She said the two concubine mothers, but her gaze was always on Han shi. This caused Han shi's hair to stand on end.
"Of course, of course." She quickly walked to An shi's side, "Big sister An, let's help the second young miss get the money back."
Feng Yu Heng corrected her, "It's helping you get the money back yourselves." Not waiting for Han shi to reply, she lifted her foot and walked forward, "Let's go. If we stay any longer, grandmother will be eating dinner."
Thus, the group of three went to Shu Ya courtyard.
When they arrived, the matriarch was leaning against the back of a chair with her eyes closed. A young maidservant was massaging her legs.
Seeing the three come together, the young maidservant clearly hesitated for a moment. The matriarch felt that the hand that was massaging her legs had stopped for a moment and could not help but frown: "Put more effort into it." Moving her foot, she kicked the young maidservant to the ground.
Feng Yu Heng coldly snorted in her heart. Quickly walking a couple steps, she said: "Is grandmother's leg not feeling well?"
When the matriarch heard Feng Yu Heng's voice, she quickly opened her eyes. Waving her hand, she dismissed the young maidservant. She then put on a smile and asked her: "Why did Heng Heng come?" Looking behind her, An shi and Han shi had also followed, "Why did you two come together?"
An shi and Han shi went forward to pay their respects to the matriarch. They then saw Feng Yu Heng also go forward and reach out to massage the matriarch's leg, "Un, it's not a big problem. If grandmother feels uncomfortable, Heng Zheng will go back and prepare some more medicine and send it over."
"Ah! Good, good. " The matriarch loved to hear Feng Yu Heng say that she would send her medicine. In her eyes, the medicine in Feng Yu Heng's hands were all wondrous medicines given by wondrous people. Not only were they effective, they were also convenient to use. "Good granddaughter, quickly sit down. Don't just stand there. Sit down. " Her attitude when speaking to An shi and Han shi was clearly much colder. In her heart, she was constantly wondering what the purpose of these three people coming together was.
Feng Yu Heng did not need her to guess. She took the initiative to state her purpose for coming: "Granddaughter came with concubine mother An and concubine mother Han to ask grandmother to support us."
"Support?" The matriarch was startled, "Support what?"
An shi took the initiative to speak: "Elder madam, it's like this. Second young miss has already investigated the accounts of the three shops. Over the years, the head madam has embezzled a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver from those shops. "
Han shi also chimed in: "That's right! Elder madam, two hundred thousand taels! This is not a small amount. When I heard about it, I was almost scared to death! The head madam is truly bold. "
Feng Yu Heng followed along: "I wonder if mother sent this money to the manor?" She then looked around the matriarch's room and shook her head, "It doesn't seem like it. If the manor had an extra two hundred thousand taels, why would grandmother's room still be so shabby? "
She had deliberately said this. In truth, the matriarch's room was not shabby. Over the years, the Shen Clan and Chen Yu had sent quite a few things to curry favor with her. But no matter how much they sent, it could not compare to the Shen Clan's Jin Yu courtyard.
Thus Han shi spoke up once more, "But of course! Elder madam, you don't often go to Jin Yu courtyard and don't pay attention. Her Jin Yu courtyard really is a mountain of gold! It truly is filled with gold and jade! "
When the matriarch heard An shi say two hundred thousand taels, she was already dazed. She had thought that the Shen Clan would embezzle, but she did not think that vile woman would embezzle so much. In addition to this, Feng Yu Heng and Han shi had compared her room to the Shen Clan's Jin Yu courtyard. The more they compared, the angrier she became.
"Vile woman!" The matriarch angrily gritted her teeth, "What did she send to the manor? Every year, she complains that the manor has no money. I remember last time, didn't Fen Dai say that she would only use normal material to make a dress? If she really did hand over two hundred thousand taels, how could she not even have enough money to make a dress? "
"That's right." Upon mentioning this, Han shi felt wronged, "Elder madam, you must support the younger generation! Over the years, the head madam has bullied the young misses and young masters quite a bit. Last time, the second young master's bowl of medicine … "
"Enough." The matriarch recalled that bowl of medicine and became angry. She then recalled Jin Zhen, who had been accepted because of that bowl of medicine, and she became even angrier, "The one in Ru Yi courtyard used to be one of her people. Who knows if she will cause any trouble."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and comforted the matriarch, "Let's talk about the future in the future. At least for now, concubine mother Jin Zhen can be considered stable. Also, when she worked in mother's courtyard in the past, she was often beaten and punished. She should not be of the same mind as mother. "
"Hmph." The matriarch snorted, "I don't think she would dare." She then looked at Feng Yu Heng and took the initiative to ask: "Then regarding this matter, Heng Heng, do you have any plans?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Heng Heng's plans have already been discussed with the elders in the manor. Heng Heng Heng does not want this money. It will all be given to grandmother and father. At the same time, a portion will be given to third sister and fourth sister as dowries. But now … "
An shi picked up on this: "Now that the head madam remains in the temple, who should we ask for this money?"
Han shi had a wronged expression and said: "Could it be that we will just forget about it? Elder madam, that is two hundred thousand taels! There is also a portion to be given to you. "
The matriarch pondered a little then turned her head and called for granny Zhao: "Go and call Chen Yu over."
