Huang Quan looked at Feng Jinyuan with contempt, and said bluntly: "Mr. Feng cried too early, Miss is not that stupid. Om, a must-have for chasing books." She knew her Miss's ability well, how could she not wake up after falling off the bed? Absolutely impossible.
"If you ask me, if there is really no other way, just report to the police!" Han's voice came again.
The old lady was so angry that she shouted, "Didn't I tell you to go back to sleep? What are you doing out here again?"
Unexpectedly, Han was not the only one who left and came back. Feng Chenyu also turned back at this time and continued Han's words and said, "No! You can't report it to the police!"
Feng Chenyu didn't want to go back. Although she was afraid, she wanted to know whether Feng Yuheng was in the house. So she turned back halfway, but just happened to hear Han say that she wanted to report to the police.
You can't report it to the police! Feng Yuheng is the daughter of a prime minister after all. If she reports it to the police, they will definitely investigate it strictly, and then it will be easy to expose that idiot Feng Zihao. She absolutely does not believe that Feng Zihao will take the blame alone. He might even pull her out with a few words.
No! She absolutely cannot let this matter go to the authorities!
"Father." Chenyu took two quick steps and came closer to Feng Jinyuan, "We really can't report this to the police!"
Feng Jinyuan looked at the already sober Chenyu in front of him, a little stunned, as if the crazy person sitting by the well just now was not his daughter. His daughter should be so beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered.
"Tell me why not?" Feng Jinyuan's mood improved a little. He didn't really care about Feng Yuheng, but he would never dare to make any mistakes with his eldest daughter.
Chenyu did not reply to him immediately, but bowed and explained her previous behavior: "Since Chenyu came back from the funeral of the Shangshu, my mind has been confused from time to time, and sometimes I have hallucinations, which has caused a lot of trouble to my family. But this is definitely not Chenyu's intention, it's just that I can't control myself when I'm sick. I hope father will forgive me."
Feng Jinyuan sighed with emotion. His daughter was extremely beautiful and the Feng family had high hopes for her. He trained her according to the standards of a queen, hoping that one day she would be able to fly up to the tree and become a real phoenix. But now, Chenyu was plagued by illness and it was difficult to cure her. He was really distressed.
"How could father blame you?" Feng Jinyuan sighed and reached out to hold Chenyu's shoulder: "You are father's proudest daughter. No matter what, father will not blame you."
Chen Yu was so moved that two tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She wiped them away gently and continued, "If we report it to the authorities, the news will spread. My second sister disappeared in the middle of the night. If this news spreads, how will my second sister live in the future?"
Feng Jinyuan nodded in agreement, "Chen Yu is still very thoughtful."
"Chen Yu is thinking about my second sister's reputation. I hope my father will think twice."
The old lady who was listening nearby also nodded and said, "Chenyu is right. If this matter gets out, Ah Heng's reputation will be affected." As she spoke, she looked at the old patriarch, hoping to get his approval, but she saw that the patriarch just frowned with a gloomy face.
Yao looked at these so-called relatives in front of her, and felt a chill in her heart. She couldn't help but ask, "Then how are the master and the old lady going to deal with this matter?"
Feng Jinyuan said: "I will send someone to look for it."
Yao shook her head in disappointment: "This is not the capital. We didn't bring many servants with us. Fengtong County is not big, but it's not small either. It's surrounded by mountains. With the current manpower of the Feng family, how could we possibly find it?"
Chenyu turned around and looked at Yao, her usual bodhisattva look on her face, and she advised earnestly: "Madam Yao, you have to think more about the reputation of our second sister! Isn't reputation the most important thing for a girl?"
Yao suddenly glared at Feng Chenyu with a fierce look. Chenyu was caught off guard. She never expected that Yao, who was always submissive and weak, would look at people like this. She could not help but take two steps back.
Then Yao said, "Reputation is the most important thing?" She shook her head as she spoke, "For me, nothing is more important than Ah Heng's life. Moreover, she is just missing, which has nothing to do with her reputation, unless someone deliberately spreads some unfounded rumors everywhere. But what's more..." She turned to look at Feng Jinyuan, "When have you ever cared about Ah Heng's reputation?"
Feng Jinyuan was furious: "Yao! Don't be ungrateful!"
Jin Zhen quickly stretched out her little hand to help him smooth his back: "Master, calm down, don't get angry!"
Yao suddenly laughed, stared at Feng Jinyuan and said, "It's because I was too conscious of good and bad in the past that I ended up like this."
Feng Jinyuan was a little afraid to go to see Yao. He really didn't know if this woman had been with Feng Yuheng for too long. Why did her temper become so strong?
Chenyu began to wipe her tears again, saying aggrievedly: "I really am thinking about my second sister, why did Aunt Yao get so angry?"
The old lady also felt that Yao was going too far, and couldn't help but ask, "So what exactly do you want the Feng family to do?"
Yao answered straightforwardly: "Report to the authorities! Only the officials of Fengtong County know the terrain here best, and only the county magistrate of Fengtong County has the most talented people under him."
Chenyu was anxious and cried, "If that happens, my second sister's reputation will be ruined! Aunt Yao! You must not do that!"
Feng Jinyuan also scolded her: "Nonsense! I have made a decision on this matter. Our Feng family will find someone ourselves and will never report to the police!"
Yao was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "We are both daughters. Just because my Yao family is in trouble, you treat Ah Heng like this? If one day my Yao family makes a comeback, don't regret it!"
Yao's words shocked everyone in the Feng family, including the patriarch, who cast inquiring eyes towards Yao.
Of course he knew that something happened to the Yao family, but he never expected that a daughter of the Yao family who had been suppressed for many years would actually become violent one day.
But thinking again about the missing girl, and her pair of clever and deep eyes that seemed to know everything, the old patriarch felt that it was not impossible that her mother, who gave birth to her, had shown a strong and fierce side for her daughter.
In his heart, he applauded the Yao family's resistance, but he heard Feng Jinyuan say, "Don't worry, even if the Yao family really has that day, I will not regret what I did today."
The old patriarch felt that this descendant of the Feng family really disappointed him. His daughter was missing, and she disappeared during a fire. Not only did he not rush to ask about it at first, but he was not in a hurry to find her now. He did not report it to the authorities, so he relied on the servants of the Feng family. The servants they brought from the capital were few in number, and there were few young people in the ancestral house, mostly the elderly and weak. Could they find her by searching like this?
He sighed, pointed at Feng Jinyuan and said, "Let me ask you, what if the child dies because you can't find him in time?"
A strange look flashed across Feng Jinyuan's eyes. There was ruthlessness, but also a little hope. After a long silence, he said, "That is her fate."
The Feng family gasped, and then they heard the old patriarch say, "Good! Very good! Our Feng family has never had a descendant like you. Prime Minister, you can go back after offering sacrifices to your ancestors on the 28th of this month, and you don't have to come back again. If you want to move your father's grave on the top of Fengqi Mountain, pick a day to move it. As for your concubine from the Shen family, she was originally buried outside the Feng family's ancestral tomb and has nothing to do with the Feng family." The old patriarch turned his back and said, "I don't want to see you again."
“This…” The old lady was the first to react. She quickly took two steps forward and asked, “Just because of a concubine’s daughter, the clan leader is going to expel us from the Feng family?”
"Illegitimate daughter?" The clan leader reminded her again, "Since you entered the ancestral house yesterday, I have said that the child is the legitimate daughter recognized by the Feng family and is included in the family tree of our Feng family. I am not expelling you from the Feng family. The family tree is still there and you are still members of the Feng family. This is the last bit of kindness I have left for you, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the Feng family's wish...
Jin Yuan will be an official for his whole life. You guys take care of yourself.”
After the old patriarch finished speaking, he walked away, ignoring the old lady's shouting, and left the yard in a few seconds.
The old lady wanted Feng Jinyuan to make a decision, but when she turned around, she saw Yao and An standing side by side, and even Xiangrong was standing with them. Opposite the three of them was Feng Jinyuan, who was standing with his hands behind his back. It looked like he was going to fight, especially Yao's fierce and desperate eyes, which were shocking.
"Master." After a while, An spoke, "If something happens to my daughter one day, I wonder if Master will do the same and ignore her?"
Feng Jinyuan felt that this group of women was simply unreasonable: "When did I ignore them? Xia Liang will send someone to look for them!"
"Dawn?" Yao was so angry that she laughed, "Why don't we go now? Why do we have to wait until dawn? If Ah Heng was kidnapped, do you know how far he could run in a few hours?"
Chenyu chimed in, "But if it's still dark today, even if the servants go out, they won't be able to find him anywhere!"
Xiangrong was not used to Chenyu talking, so he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "It's better to have nowhere to look than not to look at all."
This was the first time that Chen Yu was choked by this timid third sister. She couldn't help but get angry and said, "If you have the guts, go out and find her!"
An Shi refused to accept this. "Young Miss, do you think your sisters are an eyesore? If something happens to the Third Miss again, you will be the only young lady left in the mansion."
Jin Zhen also frowned at this time, and said to Feng Jinyuan in confusion: "This fire is strange! The master must also investigate why the house caught fire, otherwise who can sleep peacefully? The fire was here tonight, and it may burn to my house tomorrow night. I am so scared."
Feng Jinyuan couldn't stand Jin Zhen's look, so he softened his heart and said to comfort her softly, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
After hearing this, Chenyu glared at Jinzhen fiercely. Jinzhen happened to meet her gaze and couldn't help but make up his mind.
It was not a good idea to keep standing there like this. Finally, the old lady waved her hand and said, "Everyone, go back and rest! The servants will be sent out right away, and they won't have to wait until dawn. I hope that Ah Heng will be blessed and come back safely."
People then dispersed, not even Wangchuan and Huangquan stayed, and helped Yao back to her room.
The old lady was the last one to leave, but she said to Feng Jinyuan: "I hope Ah Heng can be found, and I also hope that my granddaughters can be safe. But you are the head of the family, and since you have made the decision, I will naturally listen to you, but you can't go too far. First, it will be embarrassing, and second, you have to think about it in Beijing. The two girls around Ah Heng are not a joke. Once what happened tonight gets to the ears of Prince Yu, you should know the consequences without me telling you."
