It had been over three years. Feng Jin Yuan once again entered Yao shi's room; however, there was not a single person that would let him in. Yao shi sat on a chair in the outer hall and looked at Feng Jin Yuan. She did not welcome him, nor was she warm. In fact, there was not even a smile on her face.
Feng Jin Yuan could not help but sigh. It seemed that during these three years, it was not just his second daughter's heart that was cold. Even his true first wife no longer had any feelings for him.
He could not help but think of Jin Zhen and Han shi's warmth. He began to regret coming to Tong Sheng pavilion. Especially when he thought of the moon gate in Willow courtyard, the servant guarding the gate questioned him for a long time before letting him in. She then followed behind him as though she was looking at a thief. Yet he still needed someone to lead the way. Otherwise, he really would get lost in this manor that he had never set foot in before.
"You … have you been well recently?" Feng Jin Yuan tried to find something to say. Nobody paid him any attention, so he sat down on his own and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yao shi nodded, "Many thanks husband for his concern. I have been well." She did not even want to refer to herself as a concubine.
"Do you usually sleep so early?" He looked outside. Although the sky was completely dark, the other concubines should all be eagerly waiting for him to go over. How could they sleep so early? Even An shi, who had always been quiet, was looking forward to him. However, this first wife, who used to have a very good relationship with him, had now become so indifferent.
"I have become accustomed to sleeping early." Yao shi replied to every question. She was simple and clear and did not waste any words.
"Then sleep a little later today!" Feng Jin Yuan simply made things clear, "You have been back for so many days, yet I have not come to see you. It was my negligence. Tonight, I will stay here to accompany you. We have been separated for many years. Thinking about it, you should have many things to say to me."
Yao shi, however, shook her head, "I do not have anything to say to husband. Husband, please go back."
"Hm?" Feng Jin Yuan was startled, "You don't understand what I mean?"
"Husband also does not understand what I mean?" Yao shi looked at him without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
"I do not understand!" Feng Jin Yuan feigned ignorance then stood up. He actually reached out and grabbed Yao shi, pulling her into the room.
How could Yao shi be as strong as him? She was pulled until she staggered and could not help but follow him into the room. She felt a little conflicted. She had already made up her mind to completely sever ties with Feng Jin Yuan over this matter, but if he insisted, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Feng family. How could she possibly refuse. She couldn't help but feel anxious. She only hoped that Feng Yu Heng would quickly appear to save her. But when she thought about it again, how could a daughter stop her father from sleeping with her mother? His heart sank.
"Master." She made a final struggle for herself. "I'm not feeling well, so I can't serve you."
Feng Jin Yuan completely ignored her and reached out to tug at Yao shi's clothes; however, at this time, the door was slammed open from the outside.
He was about to get angry when he heard a child's voice shouting, "Father! Was Father here? Zirui misses father so much! "
In the blink of an eye, Feng Zirui hugged her thigh. That child had recently gained some weight from eating. His cheeks were chubby, and he was extremely cute.
Feng Jin Yuan looked at such a cute son, and most of his anger dissipated. He quickly bent down and picked up Zirui, asking him: "Why did Zirui run over here?"
Feng Zirui said: "The servants said that father came to Tong Sheng pavilion. Ever since Zirui returned to the manor, he has not seen father much. His heart is in a panic, so he begged elder sister to bring Zirui over. Father shouldn't dislike Zirui, right? "
Feng Jin Yuan glanced at Feng Yu Heng, who had followed behind them. How could he not understand what was going on. But Feng Zirui had said that he had dragged Feng Yu Heng over, so he could not blame him. He could only rub Zirui's face and say: "How could that be. Father really likes Zirui."
"That's great!" Zirui smacked a kiss on Feng Jin Yuan's face. His large eyes blinked, causing Feng Jin Yuan to freeze.
He had so many children. When he was young, he favored Feng Yu Heng the most, but Feng Yu Heng's personality was indifferent. She was never willing to get close to him. Later on, he doted on Chen Yu and Zi Hao, but at that time, Chen Yu had already grown into a young girl. It was impossible for her to get close to him. As for Feng Zi Hao, aside from eating, drinking, playing, and causing trouble, it seemed that he did not know how to do anything else.
Now that he had received a kiss from Zirui, he felt a bit moved. It turned out that there were children that were so delightful. It turned out that he could not only be a strict father, but he could also feel the joy of being kissed by his son.
For a while, the displeasure of being disturbed by the children disappeared.
He simply carried Zirui back to the outer room. While playing with the child, he asked about his homework. Zirui would answer all of the questions, and he would draw inferences about other things. This caused Feng Jin Yuan to simply throw the matter of Yao shi to the back of his mind.
Yao shi finally let out a sigh of relief. Glancing at Feng Yu Heng, she felt a lingering fear.
Feng Yu Heng went forward and held Yao shi's hand, quietly saying: "Mother, do not be afraid. Father will not be able to sit for much longer and will have to leave."
Yao shi was puzzled, but she very quickly found an answer "Husband." The servant, Qing Ling, walked in from outside and saluted to Feng Jin Yuan, "Concubine mother Han sent a servant over. She said that she had something to say to husband."
Feng Jin Yuan frowned, "I will be staying the night at Tong Sheng pavilion. How can concubine mother Han not even understand the rules?"
Feng Yu Heng quickly said: "Concubine mother Han has been in the manor for many years. It's impossible for her to not understand the rules. Don't delay because of some urgent matter. Father, how about having that servant come in and ask."
Feng Jin Yuan nodded. Only then did Qing Ling bring the servant in.
"Husband." Upon entering, the servant knelt on the ground. Her eyes were red, and tears hung from the corners of her eyes.
Feng Jin Yuan's eyebrows immediately furrowed together, as he said with some irritation: "What are you crying for?"
The servant quickly said: "I beg husband to go take a look at concubine mother Han!"
"What happened to concubine mother Han?" Feng Yu Heng rushed to ask for her father's sake.
"Concubine mother Han has not been able to eat since noon today. She keeps saying that she has a headache. She originally thought that she would get better after sleeping for a while, but now that it's already this late, not only has she not gotten better, she's even gotten worse. Concubine mother feels so uncomfortable that she can't get out of bed. In a daze, she calls husband. I beg husband to go take a look at concubine mother Han! "
Feng Yu Heng secretly laughed to herself, but she advised: "Father, quickly go take a look! Concubine mother Han's body has always been weak. Don't fall ill. "
In the end, Feng Jin Yuan had doted on Han shi for many years. Although he now had a newcomer, Jin Zhen, he still had feelings for Han shi from many years. Now that he heard that Han shi had fallen ill, he could no longer sit still. Placing Zirui on the ground, he stood up and said to Yao shi: "Then I will go take a look. I will come back another day."
Yao shi lowered her head and did not say anything. Feng Jin Yuan felt that he owed her a little and wanted to go over and grab Yao shi's hand, but the kneeling servant urged: "Husband should quickly go. This place is quite far. This servant is truly worried that concubine mother Han will not be able to hold on!"
These words caused Feng Jin Yuan to stop in his tracks. Turning around, he walked out. The servant quickly stood up and followed him.
Only after they had walked far away did Yao shi ask Feng Yu Heng: "You knew long ago that concubine mother Han would be coming over?"
Feng Yu Heng told her: "When I was coming over here, Huang Quan told me."
Yao shi nodded, "Thinking about it, that Han shi is also keeping an eye on this matter. Like this, I will not be afraid. Thinking about it, the next time your father comes, she will still stop him."
Feng Yu Heng did not say anything else. Internally, she thought that it would be best if she communicated with Jin Zhen about this matter. Han shi could save the fire once, but she could not save the fire a second time. Adding Jin Zhen would mean leaving a backup plan. After all, as a daughter, she could not openly stop her father from spending the night at Tong Sheng pavilion.
As for Han shi, she had used the excuse of faking her illness to trick Feng Jin Yuan into coming to her courtyard. A woman that had not had a husband come in for a long time, upon seeing Feng Jin Yuan, truly began to cry.
She had always been delicate. At this moment, she was nestled in bed and crying while feeling aggrieved. This truly broke Feng Jin Yuan's heart.
He prepared to go forward and pull his beloved concubine into his embrace; however, he did not know that today was not an auspicious day to consummate their marriage, as he heard a servant carefully call out from outside: "Husband!"
Han shi angrily hooked her arm around Feng Jin Yuan's neck and said coquettishly: "You are not allowed to pay attention to anything. Tonight, husband is mine."
Feng Jin Yuan liked this tone of hers the most and immediately nodded, "Good! I will not pay attention to anything. "As he said this, his hand reached into Han shi's collar once more.
As a result, the servant's voice came from outside: "Husband, the Chen family's third master has arrived. He is waiting for you in Pine courtyard."
Feng Jin Yuan finally pushed Han shi away and stood up from bed, helplessly saying: "I will come see you another day. That Chen Wan Liang personally came to the manor. I fear that there really is a matter." After saying this, he walked out of the room.
Han shi was so angry that she nearly shattered her teeth from gritting them. Suddenly grabbing a pillow, she threw it at the ground; however, Fen Dai's voice came from the door: "Father sent himself to your door, yet you could not keep him! Previously, I thought that you had some ability to seduce men. Now, you don't even have that ability? "
"Shut your mouth!" Han shi's anger also surged, "Feng Fen Dai, I will tell you. If you want glory and wealth, go fight for it yourself! If you want that Ninth Prince, go fight for it yourself! If you have the ability! If you have the ability, then go and win against Feng Yu Heng and Feng Chen Yu. If you don't have the ability, don't push me forward! "
"You think I don't want to?" Fen Dai rushed in and bent over to pick up a pillow from the ground. She then threw it back at Han shi, "If I were the daughter of the first wife, what would I not have? In the end, isn't the problem with you? The Shen Clan was able to climb up to the position of head wife, so why can't you? The Shen family was able to borrow the power of the Feng manor to become an imperial merchant. How is it that your Han family doesn't even have a bug? You came from a bad background, so you should not have climbed up the Feng manor's branch. For no reason, you implicated me and caused me to suffer. What sort of mother are you? It would be better for you to just die! "
Feng Fen Dai did not care about anything else and shouted for a while. Her movements became a little more undulating, and her arm began to hurt. Once her arm hurt, she began to cry. While crying, she also cursed Han shi: "I was actually hit by the man I like the most. If you had any position in the Feng manor, even if he was a prince, how could he dare to hit me so hard? You useless woman, to have been your daughter, I really have had the misfortune of eight lifetimes! "
Han shi felt a bloody sweetness surge up from her chest. She desperately tried to suppress it, but she could not. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood sprayed out. In the next instant, she fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
