Chapter 138 Troubles within the family
"My dear, it is true that the old lady is ill and is worried about you.
Later, I went to the temple to burn incense and heard a monk say that your bride will bring bad luck to your husband...
If you marry her, you will die within three to five years.
After the old lady returned, she was very worried and found her cousin, hoping that her husband could get married as soon as possible."
Feng Shenyu didn't believe it at all.
"I haven't gotten married in all these years, and my mother hasn't been so concerned about me. How come she sent someone here without even asking for my opinion?
If you don't tell the truth, I'll cut off your tongue first."
As soon as Feng Shenyu finished speaking, the secret guard's knife was placed on Feng Ming's neck.
After hearing this, Feng Ming stammered, "My dear, please spare me... please spare me..."
"Yes... yes... someone came back from the capital and told the old lady and the master that you, my lord, have taken a fancy to Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess of Jinyang.
Later, the old lady felt that you had a bright future, and if you married a prince consort, it might affect your future.
So...so..."
After hearing this, Feng Shenyu suddenly remembered Li Yueyao's previous worries. Now it seems that these worries are not unreasonable.
She had been reluctant to give in because of these issues, and I took great pains step by step and finally got her consent.
If this matter is not handled well, she may never forgive herself in this life.
Feng Shenyu was still a little unhappy because Li Yueyao threw his things out and put up a sign saying "Feng Shenyu and dogs are not allowed to enter".
Now that everything was as she expected, that trace of unhappiness disappeared, leaving only inner confusion and uneasiness.
"For my future?
Humph, I'm afraid they are reluctant to give up the vanity and convenience that the position of Right Prime Minister brings them.
My mother is still the same as before, not changing at all, and never cares about what I think."
After hearing this, Zhong Yanse hurriedly explained, "Cousin, my aunt...she is worried about you too..."
Feng Shenyu smiled sadly and said, "Send a message to my mother. I will resign from the position of Right Prime Minister by next year at the latest.
If I cannot marry the Grand Princess of Jinyang in this life, I will become a monk and never marry."
After hearing what Feng Shenyu said, Zhong Yanse said in a sad voice:
"Cousin... No... It's not worth it for a woman..."
Feng Shenyu looked at Feng Ming with a cold face and said:
"Return home with these words intact.
Tell my parents too, if they dare to interfere in my affairs again, don’t blame me for getting angry.
If I can’t live well, then I won’t live at all.”
After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the yard.
Only Zhong Yanse's sad voice came from behind.
Feng Shenyu returned to the study, furious, and smashed everything in the study to pieces.
The inkstone, the inkstone core, and the inkstone ink were so frightened that they dared not breathe.
After a while, Yan Tai finally spoke, "My lord, I think there is something strange about this.
The old lady and the master have not cared about your affairs for many years, so why did they send your cousin here so quietly this time?
If there is no external force causing this, it shouldn't be like this.
I think it would be better to ask Feng Ming to come over and ask him in detail."
After hearing this, Yan Xin also agreed: "Yeah, it is a bit strange."
After saying that, the two of them looked at Feng Shenyu eagerly.
Feng Shenyu's rationality has almost returned at this moment.
"Go and bring Fengming to the flower hall."
After Feng Ming was brought over, he saw Feng Shenyu sitting at the top with a gloomy face, and the three Yans and Yu Zhan were also looking at him ferociously.
He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "My dear, I have told you everything I know. Please spare my life."
Yantai said, "I'll ask you to answer whatever I ask you next. If you can't explain it clearly, then stay and don't leave."
Feng Ming looked at the inkstone and said, "Speak, I will definitely speak, and I will tell you everything I know."
"Who told you, old lady, that your husband likes the Grand Princess of Jinyang?" Yan Tai asked.
"It was Wang Zhen, the second young master's wife's brother from her mother's family. He came to the capital on business and told the old lady about it when he returned."
After hearing this, Yantai asked, "Which temple did the old lady go to?"
"Over in Xingcheng, the monk at the Jintai Temple on Xing'an Mountain is said to be a very accomplished monk named Master Chanxu."
"When did the old lady go there, and who did she go with?"
"It was around the end of May or the beginning of June. I went there with the Second Young Master's wife."
When everyone heard that the Second Young Master's wife was mentioned again, they all felt that she was involved in this.
"After returning, did the old lady discuss it with the master?"
"Discuss? You know our master is often not at home, and the old lady can't find anyone to ask.
However, Erlangjun and the second young master's wife agreed.
The second young master's wife also recommended the cousin from the Zhong family, saying that Miss Yan Se is good-looking and is deeply in love with you, my dear.
The marriage between the two families is a good combination of two good things, and it is a close relationship. He is the most suitable candidate."
Feng Shenyu closed his eyes when he heard this.
Yantai continued to ask: "Tell me about the Second Young Master's wife."
Feng Ming didn't expect Yan Tai to suddenly ask this. He was stunned for a moment and looked up at Yan Tai.
Yantai said with a fierce expression: "Hurry up and tell me."
Feng Ming quickly lowered his head again and continued, "The Second Young Master's wife is the youngest daughter of the Zhao Commandery Magistrate."
"There's no need to talk about these. Let's talk about the situation of the Second Young Master's wife at home in recent years." Yan Tai said.
“The old lady is old, so she has handed over the management of the mansion inside and outside to the second young lady’s wife.
Everything in the mansion is under the control of the Second Young Master's wife.
The relationship between her and Erlangjun is not as harmonious as before, and she always urges Erlangjun to make progress.
You know this, eldest son, but our second son is just like our master, he also has a casual personality.
As for reading, they just wanted to read it, so they often quarreled about it.
At first the old lady still took care of it, but after it happened so many times, she stopped caring."
Yantai frowned as he listened. "How did the Second Young Master's wife come up with the idea of being a matchmaker for our young master?"
"This... this seems to be the case. The old lady was quite happy at first, saying that the eldest son had finally come to his senses and was going to get married.
After informing the master of the matter, he was very happy and went down the mountain to have a meal and drink to celebrate.
But later, when the second young master's wife returned to her parents' home, she expressed her concerns, which also made the second young master a little worried.
So the two of them asked the old lady to go to the temple to ask, and then they heard the monk say something bad.
The old lady tried all kinds of treatments in desperation and later asked for advice from Erlang and the second young master's wife. The second young master's wife recommended Miss Zhong.
When the old lady heard this, she agreed.
The second young master's wife helped to contact the cousin of the Zhong family, and the two sides hit it off immediately.
The old lady was afraid that you, my dear, would not agree, so she did not elaborate on this matter in the letter.
Feng Shenyu's face became even uglier when he heard this.
"You little county magistrate, you really have the guts to want to be my master."
Feng Shenyu's first palm strike landed on the armrest of the chair, and the armrest fell to the ground.
Feng Ming became even more frightened when he saw this.
"Come here, have the Secretariat send a letter reprimanding Wang Qing'an: You are not doing your duty, your harem is not peaceful, you cannot cultivate yourself and manage your family, and you are unfit to govern the people for the Emperor.
Zhao County is a middle-level county. It has received poor evaluations for two consecutive years. If it is not interested in state affairs, it can retire early.
It has my own special seal printed on it.
Send it to him 600 miles away with expedited delivery. If I don't see his reply tomorrow, he will have to resign as the county governor."
After Feng Shenyu said this, he stood up and left.
Yantai quickly followed and asked, "My dear, what about my cousin..."
"Send her back to where she came from."
"Is the message still being delivered?"
"I'll go back and tell her in person."
"Yes."
After Feng Shenyu finished dealing with the affairs in the mansion, he mounted his horse and prepared to go to Li Yueyao's mansion.
Who knew that he would be pointed at and talked about on the road?
When he got there and saw it, he almost got angry.
There were many people gathered at the entrance of the princess's mansion, pointing and talking at the sign that said 'Fengshen Jade and dogs are not allowed to enter'.
When the onlookers saw the real person coming from afar, they quickly dispersed.
Before noon, everyone in the capital knew that Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess of Jinyang and the Right Prime Minister had fallen out.
Feng Shenyu came to the door and knocked, but was told by the doorman that the prince had gone to the palace and was not in the mansion.
Feng Shenyu hurried to the palace again.
