Feng Yu Heng felt that recently, she had treated the people of the Feng manor rather well. It had already been a few days since she took the initiative to cause trouble for these people. A fire began to burn in her heart. When the group of people that came in later sat down, she said: "Why is concubine mother Han's face swollen? There is also a bloodstain on your forehead. Did you fight with someone? "
Han shi's nose nearly became crooked from anger!
Fighting with someone was something that only the Shen Clan would do. No matter how bad she was, she still knew to take care of her and Fen Dai's face. But this face … even though she tried so hard to avoid it, it still could not escape Feng Yu Heng's eyes.
She helplessly explained: "No, I was careless at night and hit it."
"Oh." Feng Yu Heng pondered, "Hitting your forehead is fine, but half of your face is swollen. Concubine mother Han hit it quite well!"
The matriarch felt that Feng Yu Heng had always been strange, but she did not think too much about it. She only glared at Han shi and said: "How old are you to still be able to hit it at night. Did the Feng family not provide you with a servant to keep watch at night?"
Han shi quickly stood up and replied to the matriarch: "It was all this concubine's own carelessness that caused matriarch to worry."
The matriarch rolled her eyes. How could she be in the mood to worry about a concubine.
Han shi saw that the matriarch no longer spoke and quickly returned to her seat, lowering her head even more.
At this time, Feng Chen Yu stood up and received a box from her maidservant, handing it to the matriarch: "Grandmother, the money that second sister asked for last time, granddaughter has already asked for it from uncle. Here are two hundred thousand taels in banknotes. Would grandmother please take a look. "
Hearing this, the matriarch's eyes flashed. The money had come. Inside, the majority of it belonged to her!
She quickly had granny Zhao receive the box. Opening it, she counted it. There was no more and no less. It was exactly two hundred thousand taels.
The matriarch nodded, "Un, Chen Yu, you did very well with this matter. You must remember, you are still the Feng family's daughter. No matter how wealthy the Chen family is, they are still just a merchant family. Your future will be in the hands of the Feng family. That's why everything must be done with the Feng family first. "
Chen Yu bowed: "Granddaughter will remember."
Feng Yu Heng raised the corner of her lips and said: "Grandmother is right. This is the Feng family's money. I didn't ask for it from the Chen family."
Old Madam Fu pretended to ask Granny Zhao to send the box of banknotes to Feng Yu Heng. At the same time, she said, "Mr. Heng, in the end, the money earned by your shop is still under your control!"
Feng Yu Heng cleverly pushed Zhao mama's hand and said, "Of the two hundred thousand taels, fifty thousand is for Third Sister's dowry. The rest is for Grandmother. Of course, Father's share will be handed over to Grandmother. Heng doesn't need to do it. "
The old lady was very satisfied with Feng Yu Heng's understanding of money. She held the box like it was a treasure and reluctantly took out fifty thousand taels of silver and asked Zhao mama to give it to Madam An.
An hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank the old lady and Feng Yu Heng.
To the side, Han shi saw this, and her eyes turned red with jealousy. She could not help but begin to blame Feng Fen Dai. If it were not for her shouting that day, a portion of the banknotes in the box would have been hers! Now that the money was gone and only those old shoes were exchanged, Fen Dai still got angry at her. She truly felt that there was no justice in this world.
"Second sister." After the matter of the banknotes was taken care of, Chen Yu said to Feng Yu Heng: "The antiques you wanted will be sent to Wonderful Treasure House today. When the time comes, would second sister please go and check them out."
Feng Yu Heng once again corrected her: "It's not the antiques I wanted. It was the antiques that were stolen by mother." She specifically emphasized the word stolen, which caused Feng Chen Yu's eyes to flash. "Eldest sister, do not worry. I will send someone with knowledge to check them out later." Saying this, she turned her head and said to Wang Chuan: "In a moment, go to the Imperial Palace Yu and ask his Highness to send someone with knowledge of antiques to Wonderful Treasure House."
Wang Chuan nodded and complied.
Upon hearing this, Feng Chen Yu furrowed her brow.
The matriarch saw that the money had already been distributed, so she changed the topic. She spoke of something that she had always wanted to say to Yao shi: "Qian Rou!" She simply called Yao shi by her maiden name, "There is something that I have always wanted to discuss with you."
Yao shi looked at her and habitually wanted to say: "What is the matter, mother?" But just as the words reached her mouth, she remembered that she was no longer the head wife of the family. She no longer had the right to call her mother. Now that she was a concubine, she could follow An shi and Han shi and call her elder madam. Thus she changed the topic and said without much emotion: "If elder madam has something to say, it is fine."
The matriarch felt her coldness and felt a little unhappy, but she could not offend her at this sort of time. She could only take a few deep breaths to adjust her mood before saying: "Zi Hao has been recovering at home for a few days. It is time for him to return to Xiao Zhou."
Yao shi nodded, "Oh."
Hm? The matriarch was startled. She did not think that Yao shi would have this sort of reaction. In her impression, Yao shi had always been someone that was easy to talk to, and she only obeyed the Feng family's orders. As long as the Feng family had a need, there was no need for the family to mention it. She would use the Yao family's connections to help the Feng family. But now …
There was nothing that she could do. She had to directly say: "Do you think you should speak with Princess Wen Xuan to allow Zi Hao to return to Yun Lu Academy?"
Yao shi blinked, "Then husband should take a trip to the Wen Xuan Palace! I wonder what elder madam and this concubine mean by saying these things? "
The matriarch angrily rolled her eyes and frankly said: "My meaning is that you and Princess Wen Xuan have a good relationship. Yun Lu Academy belongs to the Ye family. You can just speak with Princess Wen Xuan and explain it. Why bother Jin Yuan with going to the palace?"
Yao shi shook her head, "This concubine truly has no other choice. The matriarch may not know, but Princess Wen Xuan does indeed have a good relationship with this concubine, but because she has a good relationship with this concubine, she is still brooding over the matter of this concubine suddenly becoming a concubine in the Feng manor three years ago, as well as my son and daughter being sent to the mountains of the Northwest. Last time, we met at Pu Du Temple, and this concubine did everything possible to calm her anger. "
The matriarch was puzzled: "Since her anger has been calmed, why can't she help?"
Yao shi replied naturally: "Princess Wen Xuan has no other choice regarding my matter. Even if she wanted to investigate, she had no right. She could only be angry on her own. But for no reason, she was pointed at and scolded by the head madam. She even scolded the Emperor's most beloved imperial daughter, Tian Ge. Elder madam, how should this concubine beg? That day, if it was not for this concubine stopping her, Princess Wen Xuan would have turned her carriage around and returned to the capital to file a complaint. "
The matriarch was dazed upon hearing this. She did not even dare think about what had happened that day. What sort of things had the Shen Clan said! Not to mention a princess, but even a normal citizen would not be able to endure it. In the end, this disaster was caused by the Shen Clan. Now that Yao shi had said this, what face did she have to beg Yao shi to help Zi Hao?
"Could it be that there is no other way?" The matriarch muttered to herself.
Yao shi heard this and found it laughable. She could not help but say: "This concubine has no other way. If elder madam has an idea, I would like to ask for your advice."
The matriarch's eyelids twitched. Why did she feel that in these three years, not only had Feng Yu Heng changed, even Yao shi had changed? Now, Yao shi's eloquence was almost on par with Feng Yu Heng's. With just a few words, she was able to cause people to panic.
She did not know that the Feng family's emotions were cold. Under Feng Yu Heng's influence, Yao shi's heart had already turned cold.
Having said this, it seemed that there was nothing else to say. Everyone fell silent.
The matriarch looked at these people. The more she looked, the more annoyed she felt. She kept thinking about what to do about her Zi Hao! That was her only grandson of the first wife!
It had to be at this time that Feng Yu Heng came to cause trouble: "Last time, father said that he would definitely find a famous doctor to treat eldest brother's illness. I wonder if he has found one."
With these words, the matriarch was on the verge of collapse. Truly unable to continue sitting, she simply waved her hand: "You can all go back."
Everyone stood up to leave. Just as they were about to leave, for some reason, Jin Zhen's footsteps paused. She suddenly used her hand to cover her chest, and her face heaved up and down.
Han shi was at her side and casually asked: "What's wrong with you?"
An shi also said: "Your complexion is this bad? Could it be that you didn't rest well? "
Han shi coldly snorted, "How could it be that you didn't rest well. Husband is with you every night. As I see it, the ones that didn't rest well should be us sisters."
With Han shi's words, Jin Zhen's condition improved a little. She quickly said: "I've troubled concubine mothers. I am fine. I just slept too late last night."
She was just half-heartedly looking for an excuse, but when she heard Han shi's words, there was another meaning "But of course, husband is with you every day. It would be strange if you could sleep early!"
The matriarch disliked Han shi the most. She angrily slammed the table: "Your face is already like that. Instead of going back to your courtyard to rest, what are you still nagging about? Do you not know what you did in the past? It's only because An shi has a good temper that she doesn't argue with you. Otherwise, how could she allow you to continue being so arrogant in the manor! "
The matriarch had become angry, so Han shi could not say anything else. She was the first to dejectedly leave Shu Ya courtyard.
Feng Yu Heng glanced at Jin Zhen and saw the nervousness and fear hidden under her calm expression. She seemed to have guessed something.
Because the three shops had reopened, Qing Yu was so busy that she could not see her shadow. Feng Yu Heng's group returned to Tong Sheng pavilion. Zirui directly returned to his own courtyard to learn how to read with his tutor. Yao shi was a little worried and asked Feng Yu Heng: "Were my words a little too harsh today? In the past, I would not have spoken like this, but ever since I returned to the capital, I don't know why, but my heart just can't calm down. "
Feng Yu Heng told her: "Because the Feng manor is not a peaceful place. Even if we have the heart to live a peaceful life, others will not do as we wish. Mother did very well today. There are some people who don't even want face, so why should we give them face? "
Yao shi continued: "In truth, I am not targeting elder madam. It's just that when I think of Feng Zi Hao sneaking into your room in the middle of the night, I feel wronged for you. Yet your father does not speak up for you. This family really can't distinguish right from wrong! "
Feng Yu Heng smiled. Regardless of what reason Yao shi had, for her to be able to have this sort of performance today was already a very large improvement. People could only see growth in the face of adversity.
She sent Yao shi back to her courtyard and advised the servants to take good care of her. Right before leaving, she took a look at granny Sun, who had recently been well-behaved. Only then did she return to her own small courtyard.
Wang Chuan suggested to her: "How about we bring in another servant. Qing Yu is already too busy helping out with the shops. Right now, this servant needs to go to his Highness' side to find an expert to inspect the antiques. Young miss cannot be without someone close to her to take care of her."
Feng Yu Heng thought a little then said: "No rush. We can slowly look for one in the future."
Wang Chuan did not say anything else and prepared to tidy up and leave the manor. Turning around, he saw Jin Zhen hurriedly walking over with a servant leading her.
