Chapter 109: Shen's Death



When Fendai came in, the maid behind her was holding a tray with a bowl of soup on it. To follow the story of the ancient times, you have to be quick-eyed.

When they came closer, Feng Yuheng sniffed and was hit by a strong musky scent mixed with safflower, which was shockingly toxic.

She couldn't help but look at Fendai. Is this girl crazy?

Fen Dai obviously didn't expect Feng Yuheng to be here. She froze halfway through her walk, and the girl following behind her almost bumped into her.

Feng Yuheng laughed: "Fourth sister, what's wrong? If you stop a little faster, the bowl of soup behind will be a waste of effort."

Fendai felt that there was something else behind her words, and her already weak heart trembled even more.

It was just that Feng Yuheng could smell the flavor in the soup, but Jin Zhen didn't understand what it was, and thought it smelled very good. She couldn't help but ask Fendai: "Did the Fourth Miss bring the soup to me?" She was a little flattered: "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Miss."

Fen Dai knew that Feng Yuheng was here today, so she would definitely not be able to deliver this bowl of soup, and she might even be exposed. She couldn't help but glare at Jin Zhen fiercely, and then said to Feng Yuheng: "I didn't know that the second sister was here. I don't have anything to do, I just came to see you, you guys can chat."

Fendai turned around so quickly that she knocked the soup in the maid's hand to the ground.

Bang!

Fendai raised her good arm and slapped the maid: "You useless thing, you can't even hold a bowl of soup."

The little girl cried as she picked up the broken pieces on the floor. Jin Zhen watched this farce and suddenly turned her attention to the soup that was spilled on the floor.

Feng Yuheng smiled, "Why is Fourth Sister so careless? But no matter what, it's a good thing that Fourth Sister is so filial. Aunt Jin Zhen, don't forget to praise Fourth Sister in front of Father, and tell Father that Fourth Sister specially brought you soup, but she spilled it herself."

Jin Zhen nodded, "Second Miss is right. I will definitely remember Fourth Miss's kindness and will definitely tell the master."

Fen Dai was so angry that she walked away. She couldn't stand Feng Yuheng's weird tone the most. But the same weird tone was very pleasing to her when the Ninth Prince used it. It was really strange.

Feng Yuheng told Jin Zhen some precautions for the confinement period, then stood up and left. Jin Zhen chased after her and asked, "Is there something wrong with the bowl of soup that the fourth young lady drank?"

Feng Yuheng nodded, "There is a problem. A large amount of musk and safflower were put into the soup. The amount is so strong that you can smell it from a long distance. It is obvious that she can't wait to replace the former Shen family and settle all the unborn children in the mansion."

Jin Zhen was a little worried. "Thanks to the Second Miss for being here this time, otherwise I would have been doomed!"

Feng Yuheng thought for a moment and said to her, "I will find a way to arrange for Manxi to come here as soon as possible. You should be more careful in Han's courtyard in the future. You must not eat anything they send. Others are fine. The old lady and father only want to have a baby and will never harm you. The An family does not fight for honor or disgrace, so you don't need to worry."

Jin Zhen kept it in mind and thanked Feng Yuheng again.

On the way back to Tongshengxuan, Feng Yuheng met Manxi. The girl was standing at a small intersection, looking around anxiously. When she saw Feng Yuheng and the others coming, she quickly opened her mouth and called softly, "Second Miss! Miss Wangchuan!"

Feng Yuheng looked over and saw Man Xi waving at them, then she took Wang Chuan over there.

As soon as he saw them approaching, Man Xi took two steps forward, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Feng Yu Heng.

Feng Yuheng signaled Wang Chuan to help the man up. She looked carefully at Man Xi's nails and found that he no longer needed to apply nail polish. He looked just like an ordinary person.

She nodded and spoke to Manxi first, "I also send medicine to your mother regularly. Her condition is more serious than yours, so she should be treated for a few more months."

Manxi was already very touched, and stretched out her hand to show her her nails: "Second Miss is really a master, my nails are now completely healed, and I have finally gotten rid of the worry I have had for the past few years. I am grateful to Second Miss from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness." She bowed to Feng Yuheng again, and then looked around and whispered to the point: "Jinyu Courtyard is now like a tomb of the living dead, no one goes in or out, Shen Shi has not eaten, not even a sip of water. She can endure it, staring with her eyes wide open all day long and refusing to die. But I think she won't last more than two days."

Feng Yuheng had an idea in mind, and then said to Man Xi: "Since Shen went to Pudu Temple, you have suffered a lot, I remember all this."

Manxi waved her hands quickly: "This is nothing. I was originally Shen's maid. Moreover, if I hadn't asked to stay in the nunnery to take care of her, I would have been sold out like Yuluo and Baotang."

Feng Yuheng asked her, "What was your relationship with Jin Zhen like in the past?"

"It's good." Manxi said to her, "Jinzhen has always been arrogant, but we have grown up together after all."

Hearing her say this, Feng Yuheng was relieved, "Once the matter with Shen's company is settled, I will find a way to arrange for you to go to Jin Zhen's place, so that you two can take care of each other."

Manxi knew that Jin Zhen was now working for Feng Yuheng, so she happily agreed, "Thank you, Second Miss, for the arrangement. If you have nothing else to do, I will go back immediately."

Feng Yuheng nodded and let her go.

That night, Nanny Sun, who had not been seen for a long time, was active again. She stayed awake in the middle of the night and walked out quietly, heading straight to Liuyuan. I think she was going to leave Tongshengxuan.

Feng Yuheng noticed that Huang Quan had quietly followed her movements, so she ignored him. An old lady, with Huang Quan watching over her, couldn't cause any trouble.

She pulled out the whip from her waist and danced in the garden with great enthusiasm. She finished a routine and then stopped. She shouted in one direction: "Since you are here, why are you hiding?"

She heard a muffled laugh from that direction, and then the shadows of the trees moved slightly. In the blink of an eye, a man and a wheelchair appeared in front of her.

Feng Yuheng habitually looked at the purple lotus between his eyebrows, and after taking a look, he felt a little relieved.

Who says it’s useless for a man to be good-looking? It’s really pleasing to the eyes!

Neither of them spoke anymore, and they fought with their whips in tacit understanding. Feng Yuheng's whip technique was much more unfamiliar than Xuan Tianming's, and she would be broken by him from time to time. But she did not get discouraged, and she would start over after her moves were broken, and gradually she got into the best state.

Finally, they both stopped. Feng Yuheng no longer got exhausted easily, but his Qi and meridians were a little disordered, but he quickly adjusted himself.

She squeezed on the handle of his wheelchair and sat down. She had already put her whip back to her waist, but she grabbed Xuan Tianming's and started to fiddle with it.

Xuan Tianming was speechless, "I gave you one, and you want to take this one too?"

"I don't want this." She pointed at the barbs on it. "I can't wrap something like this around my waist. Oh, by the way," she suddenly thought of something, "Is Yuexi's palace banquet on the night of August 15th?"

Xuan Tianming nodded: "That's right, the Queen organizes it every year, and all officials above the fourth rank in Beijing and their families participate."

Feng Yuheng held his chin with his hand: "Who went to the Feng family before?"

Xuan Tianming thought for a moment and said, "In the three years since you left Beijing, it seems that only the old lady has left the Feng family. But three years ago, your mother Yao followed Feng Jinyuan into the palace."

Feng Yuheng searched the original owner's memory for a while, and it seemed that this was the case, but he couldn't remember anything more.

"I don't remember clearly." She shook her head. "At that time, I didn't care about the affairs of the mansion at all, and I didn't like to attend any banquets."

"You can't escape this year." Xuan Tianming smiled evilly, "Future Princess Yu, your father is also waiting to open his eyes."

...

She stroked her forehead and said, "Your Majesty has seen all kinds of things. Why would he need to teach me a lesson?"

"Well, he just wanted to see what kind of girl could catch my eye."

She thought this person was too shameless! She jumped off the wheelchair with a smile, "Let's talk about something interesting. I heard that during the Yuexi Palace Banquet, Princess Qingle will be granted a marriage?"

Xuan Tianming also laughed, "This is indeed interesting. Father said this, and I think there will be some commotion. Alas, in the blink of an eye, you girls have reached the age to be granted marriage. Even your eldest sister who thinks she is like a fairy, the third brother has reserved the position of the principal wife for her. Tsk tsk." He shook his head, "The Feng family's vision is really bad."

Hearing him mention this, Feng Yuheng couldn't help but think of the gossip that Huang Quan had told her before: "I heard that the third prince has already married a queen."

"Of course not." Xuan Tianming shrugged, "It's just that the principal wife is not in good health. She has been lying on the bed for two years. I guess her illness will get worse. He wants Chenyu to enter the mansion to help him decide the fate of the world. But the principal wife should also die."

"Who do you like?" She finally asked, "Among these princes, which one do you like?"

Xuan Tianming leaned back in his chair and said, "It's normal for me to like anyone, except the third brother."

"Why?"

He just smiled and said nothing.

"Xuan Tianming, this expression of yours is the most annoying!" Feng Yuheng was so angry that he pulled out the whip and whipped him.

The man smiled and patted his wheelchair and quickly backed away. The two of them chased each other like this, and occasionally they bumped into each other and fought. They kept on fighting until dawn.

Feng Yuheng was still feeling sleepy while eating breakfast, so Wang Chuan laughed at her and said, "Why don't you ask His Highness not to come tomorrow?"

She squinted at Wang Chuan and said, "Since you followed me, your personality has become more and more like Huang Quan's."

After she said this, Wang Chuan thought about it for a while, and then said, "Maybe it's easier to be with the young lady, unlike when I'm with His Highness, the atmosphere is always so depressing."

Wangchuan accompanied Feng Yuheng to eat breakfast together. Xiangrong would go back to her own courtyard to change clothes after running every day, and then wait for Feng Yuheng on the way to Shuya Garden, and go with her to pay respects to the old lady.

Today, the two sisters entered Shuya Garden together as usual. Han and An had just arrived. Jin Zhen was still recuperating and could not get out of bed. Feng Chenyu had been sitting in the hall talking to the old lady since early morning.

Xiangrong moved closer to Feng Yuheng and whispered, "Second sister, my right eyelid keeps twitching, and I feel like something is going to happen."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. They turned around and saw that it was Manxi. Manxi glanced at Feng Yuheng, then rushed into the main hall and said to the old lady, "Old lady, the first lady... is gone!"
