Feng Jinyuan felt that it was too shameful to have such a daughter. He threw his sleeves in anger and said, "Send the fourth young lady back to her room, send someone to guard her strictly, and never allow her to step out of the door!"
Han was shocked, and she remembered the Feng family's punishment of Shen a few days ago. For a moment, she seemed to see the same future between Fendai and Shen - "Master!" She hugged Feng Jinyuan's legs, "Master, you can't treat Fendai like this! She is still a child and doesn't understand anything. Master can't kill Fendai like the first lady!"
"Killed?" Feng Yuheng was shocked, "Mother was killed?"
"Nonsense!" Feng Jinyuan kicked Han far away, no longer caring for his concubine. "How could my Feng family have a mother and daughter like you? Someone, come! Lock them both up!"
Servants immediately came forward to drag Han and Fendai away. Finally, the noise faded away. Feng Jinyuan turned around and said to Feng Yuheng, "Don't worry, Ah Heng. Your father will give you an explanation for what happened today. If you want to catch up with the Wilderness Chronicles, you have to be quick."
He was referring to the incident caused by Fendai. Feng Yuheng smiled and bowed to her father, saying, "Then Ah Heng would like to thank father. I am really flattered that father can punish my elder brother in order to give Ah Heng justice." Feng Jinyuan's face turned pale, and she said, "Father, please go to the front yard quickly, don't keep the two princes waiting for too long."
Feng Jinyuan nodded helplessly and left in a hurry.
Seeing Feng Jinyuan leaving with his people, Yao, An, Xiangrong and Zirui all came over. Zirui didn't understand what happened, so he asked Feng Yuheng: "Why did Fourth Sister talk to His Highness Brother like that?"
Feng Yuheng rubbed his head and told him: "Because your fourth sister has lived enough."
Yao advised her: "Don't scare the children."
She then slowed down her voice and said, "Zi Rui will grow up one day, and sooner or later he will know about the dirty things in the Feng Mansion."
An was also furious. "That Fen Dai's personality is exactly like Shen's. After this incident in the mansion, I really don't know what the future will be like."
Feng Yuheng sneered, "Who cares about his status? Let's just live our own lives." As he said that, he pulled Xiangrong and Zirui towards the front yard, and Yao and An quickly followed.
The mourning hall was rebuilt in the Peony Courtyard. Xuan Tianhua went over to burn three incense sticks as a tribute, while Xuan Tianming just watched from the side due to his inconvenience in walking.
Feng Jinyuan naturally didn't dare to argue. It was already a great honor for the two princes to come and pay their respects. If it weren't for the incident today, his Feng family's reputation would actually be much better. When he thought of this, he was extremely disappointed with his two children.
Xuan Tianhua inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then said to the old lady and Feng Jinyuan: "My condolences." The two hurriedly thanked Xuan Tianhua.
When the condolences were over and they were about to leave, Xuan Tianhua turned around and saw a woman in plain clothes walking slowly towards him from outside.
He was stunned for a moment, and when the woman came closer, he realized that it was Feng Chenyu who had changed her clothes and painted her eyebrows.
Chenyu arrived at the mourning hall, and did not bother to greet Feng Jinyuan and the old lady. She ran straight to Xuan Tianhua, leaned forward in front of him, and said in a very soft and pleasant voice: "Chenyu thanks His Highness the Seventh Prince for coming to mourn his mother. Your Highness's kindness, Chenyu will remember it."
Xuan Tianhua shook his head, without giving her any face, and said directly: "Miss Feng, you are too polite. Something happened at my sister-in-law's home, and it is my duty to accompany Ming'er here." I came here for Feng Yuheng, and it has nothing to do with you.
Chen Yu was very embarrassed, but she couldn't do anything, so she could only smile and keep silent. However, she raised her eyes and looked straight at Xuan Tianhua, with love rolling in her eyes, which she couldn't suppress.
"It's so beautiful." Feng Jinyuan couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Your Highnesses are about to return home. Please get out of the way."
Chen Yu was startled, and spoke subconsciously: "Your Highness, are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay in the mansion and have dinner?"
Xuan Tianhua asked her in confusion: "Are you Feng family holding a wedding or a funeral?" Then he didn't say anything more to anyone, turned around, pushed Xuan Tianming away and left.
Chen Yu was stunned in place, and then she heard the person sitting in the wheelchair in front of her laugh teasingly and say loudly: "Miss Feng, your eyebrows are drawn high on one side and low on the other!"
Feng Chenyu quickly covered her face with her hands, but then she realized that the Seventh Prince didn't even turn around to look at her, and she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Feng Jinyuan looked at Chenyu like this, and the feeling of regret for not being able to make up for his shortcomings surged up again. Sometimes he really wondered if he had done something wrong. Why were these children so troublesome? Well, there were some who were worry-free, such as Xiangrong and Anshi. The mother and daughter really never caused him any trouble.
"Chen Yu." Feng Jinyuan took two steps closer and stood beside Chen Yu. He looked forward, but lowered his voice and spoke to her. "You have to understand what you should and shouldn't do. I don't want to see this happen again."
Chen Yu's heart suddenly sank, and she asked unwillingly, "Does the person father choose have to be the Third Prince?"
"Yes."
"But the Third Prince has a wife!"
"The queen is the queen. As long as you are obedient, you will definitely be the queen in the future."
"Why can't it be His Majesty the Seventh Prince?"
Feng Jinyuan frowned again and said helplessly: "You don't understand what's going on in the court, but your father will not harm you. The road I choose for you must be the most spacious one in the world. Chenyu, remember, you are the Phoenix, and you will be the mother of the world in the future."
The four words "mother of the country" were like a spell that left a mark on Chenyu's heart. Her restless heart finally withdrew a little, her face gradually calmed down, and she finally said to Feng Jinyuan in a calm voice: "My daughter remembers."
Finally, the Feng family's funeral was carried out as normal again. The women in the mansion returned to the mourning hall to keep vigil, and Feng Jinyuan and the old lady received guests together.
When it was almost time for dinner, the Shen family arrived. They came for Shen Wanliang, followed by the eldest master of the Shen family, Shen Wanjin, and the second master, Shen Wanshun.
The old lady looked at the three people coming towards her aggressively, and she knew that they were not here for good, and her heart was lifted. Shen's funeral was already a mess, and the Feng family had become a laughing stock in the capital. If her family members came to make trouble again, how could Feng Jinyuan have the face to go out and see people?
The old lady reminded Feng Jinyuan in a low voice: "Try not to argue with them. You can quarrel with them behind closed doors in the future, but don't make it embarrassing at a time like this."
Feng Jinyuan nodded. He understood this truth, but could the Shen family miss such a good opportunity?
Obviously not.
Shen Wanliang, who always had the most say in the Shen family, stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of Shen's spirit tablet with a plop, and cried bitterly at the newly replaced coffin: "Sister! You died so tragically!" He cried, lit three incense sticks, and stood up to face Feng Jinyuan, his eyes full of anger: "Can Lord Feng give me an explanation for the cause of my sister's death?"
He didn't even call him brother-in-law anymore, but Lord Feng as soon as he opened his mouth. It was obvious that he had drawn a clear line between himself and the Feng family.
Feng Jinyuan was also furious. He couldn't deal with the prince, but he still didn't care about the Shen family. He immediately replied, "Everyone knows that Shen died of a serious illness. What do you want to explain?"
"Serious illness?" Shen Wanliang gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Why don't you ask a doctor to treat her if she is seriously ill?"
Feng Jinyuan asked back: "How do you know I didn't hire one? Even though my Feng family is not as wealthy as your Shen family, we can still afford to pay for a doctor's consultation."
The eldest master of the Shen family, Shen Wanjin, finally couldn't help but speak: "My sister has always been in good health, how could she suddenly get a serious and fatal disease? Feng Jinyuan, if you don't give me a reason today, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
"presumptuous...
!” The old lady was also angry, and asked Shen Wanjin directly: "You're welcome? Who are you talking to? You are threatening the first-rank officials of the dynasty! I tell you, based on your words, if Jin Yuan gets into trouble in the future, all of you in the Shen family will go to jail!"
Shen Wanliang glared at his brother, turned around and said to the old lady: "My eldest brother is too sad and has said something wrong. Please forgive me, old lady. But we really can't accept the cause of our sister's death. Please give us an explanation from the Feng family."
At this time, Chenyu, who had been standing by without saying anything, spoke up. She looked at her three uncles with tears in her eyes and said sadly, "Uncles, father didn't lie to you. Mother is indeed seriously ill. The family has invited many doctors, even two imperial physicians from the palace, but... none of them can cure her!"
Shen Wanliang looked at Chen Yu for a long time without saying anything. He could hardly believe that the person who said this was his niece whom he had loved since childhood. How could Chen Yu, who always cared so much about her mother, lie with her eyes open at this time?
Others didn't know about Shen's affairs, but Shen Wanliang knew it very well. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could guess about 70% of what the Feng family did. What's more, he had personally gone to find medicine for Shen and sent people to deliver the medicine, but those who delivered the medicine were buried in the Feng Mansion.
He couldn't help but ask Xiang Chenyu: "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know who is lying in the coffin?"
Chenyu's face became even more sorrowful, "Of course I know, that's my mother, the mother who gave birth to me after ten months of pregnancy."
"Then why do you keep talking like that?"
"But my father is here too!" Chenyu said as tears started to fall. "Uncle, my mother died of illness. Chenyu can testify to this."
Shen Wanliang closed his eyes, and two lines of tears came out.
He knew that Chenyu was trying to protect herself.
Yes! This niece has always been smart. The Feng family promised her such a brilliant future, and the temptation of that future was enough to make her give up everything. If sacrificing a mother can save her future, why wouldn't Chenyu do it?
"That's all." Shen Wanliang felt exhausted physically and mentally, and the passion he had originally had for revenge for his sister suddenly returned to its original state. He turned around and said to his two brothers, "Let's burn incense for our sister. From now on, the Shen family and the Feng family... will be cut off."
