This voice was sung in a sharp and bright tone, with a long tail, enough for everyone in a small area to hear it clearly.
Xiangrong subconsciously made a sound: "Huh?"
Yao and An also leaned against the car window and looked out.
The Feng family's convoy had already reached the gate of the capital city. It was noon now, and although the sun was not as strong as in summer and autumn, it was still hanging high in the sky like a judgment, causing the Feng family to squint their eyes.
The convoy stopped at the sound of the singing. Outside the city gate, in front of the convoy, there was a young female lead in a pure white mourning dress, with her hair loose, swinging her long sleeves and singing a funeral song. Next to her was a woman playing the zither, also in a white dress with a white flower pinned to her temples, playing the zither in sync with the singing.
The two have obviously been working together for a long time. The piano sound and singing voice are perfectly combined together, and it is so sad that it makes people want to cry when they listen to it.
People passing by here, going in and out of the city, stopped to watch, and some women even started to wipe away their tears.
But just when people were attracted by the singing and the sound of the piano, they heard someone in the phoenix carriage team shouting angrily: "Nonsense!" People were startled, and the Feng family also shuddered, but they knew that Feng Jinyuan was angry.
It's no wonder Feng Jinyuan was angry. What was that Hua Dan singing? What about the tragic death of the second young lady of the Feng family, and Prime Minister Feng returning the second young lady's life? This was not singing an opera, it was clearly calling for the soul.
Feng Jinyuan was so angry that his face turned pale. He hurriedly got off the carriage and ordered the servant beside him: "Catch the troublemaker!"
The waiter agreed, called a few servants, and they all came forward, rolling up their sleeves and getting ready to start.
But the actress who was singing the opera had a very good psychological quality. She ignored these people and continued singing what she was supposed to sing, calling out "Second Young Miss" and "Feng Yuheng" over and over again, her singing was so tragic.
The servants of the Feng family were also angry. This was too bullying. Now an opera singer dared to go against the Prime Minister's Mansion?
A few people were filled with anger. They rushed forward, raised their hands, and were about to hit the actress.
But at this moment, a cool female voice was heard: "Let's see who dares to fight?"
The servants of the Feng family were startled, but they were unable to retract their raised hands in time due to inertia. Just as they were about to slap the Hua Dan in the face, the servant who had been following Feng Jinyuan for many years reacted and grabbed the hand of his companion, whispering, "Stop it!"
The servant didn't understand what was going on, but the boy had sharp eyes. When the female voice said "Let's see who dares to fight", his eyes followed the voice and found several girls in white dresses standing in the crowd. He recognized one of them, it was Princess Wuyang of Prince Wenxuan's mansion.
Feng Jinyuan obviously saw what he saw. He felt overwhelmed, but he still had to walk forward quickly and bowed in the direction where Xuan Tiange was standing: "Your servant Feng Jinyuan greets Princess Wuyang."
Xuan Tiange then took a few steps forward, and the girls beside her also came forward one after another. They were Feng Yuheng's good sisters Ren Xifeng, Feng Tianyu and Bai Furong.
The four of them were all dressed in white with a white flower, without any rouge on, and stood in front of Feng Jinyuan with their faces exposed.
Feng Jinyuan knew that these four people had a good relationship with Feng Yuheng. Now they were blocking the city gate and bringing an opera singer. It was obvious that they were looking for trouble. But Wuyang Princess Xuan Tiange was here, what could he say? What dared he say?
Xuan Tiange ignored Feng Jinyuan and just looked at the Hua Dan who had stopped singing. He asked her puzzledly, "Who told you to stop?"
The Huadan was very smart and understood everything immediately. She then exchanged glances with the woman playing the piano, and the two of them moved in unison and began to sing again.
This time, the song was even more outrageous than before - "Prime Minister Feng, you have many children, and Feng Yuheng is certainly not the only one. But she is a member of your Feng family in life and a ghost of your Feng family in death. She has your Feng family blood flowing in her body. How could you be so cruel as to burn your own daughter to death in the house?"
Feng Jinyuan was confused and couldn't help wondering, "Where did these rumors come from?"
The Hua Dan was still singing - "There is no smoke without fire in this world. If Prime Minister Feng had done nothing wrong, why would the rumor that you killed your own daughter spread so widely among the people?"
Feng Jinyuan was so angry that his heart was pounding. Everyone in the Feng family could no longer sit still in the carriage and got out one after another to surround him.
Yao took two more steps forward and looked at Xuan Tiange and the others with gratitude in her eyes.
Xuan Tiange also nodded at her, and then turned his gaze to Old Madam Feng. After a while, he asked her, "Ah Heng is gone, old lady, do you miss her?"
The old lady was reluctant to part with Feng Yuheng in the first place, and when Xuan Tiange asked her this question, coupled with the funeral music playing beside her, how could her heart not be broken? She immediately wiped away her tears.
Xuan Tiange continued, "When Ah Heng was here, whenever the old lady had backaches and leg pains, she would stay up all night to prepare plasters for her grandmother. This princess once asked her why she was so tired, but she said that in this family, her father didn't love her, but her grandmother was good. She hadn't been filial to her grandmother for many years, and now she can finally come back, so it's her duty to be tired. Unfortunately, from now on, there will no longer be such a considerate and medically proficient granddaughter serving the old lady."
The old lady cried even louder, and said as she cried, "Ah Heng, my Ah Heng!" Gradually, her cries turned into howling.
Feng Jinyuan was so annoyed by the old lady's crying that he wanted to give her some advice, but he saw Ren Xifeng brought a charcoal basin from somewhere and placed it in the middle of the road. Then the servant handed over a pile of paper money, lit it with a fire, squatted on the ground and burned it, muttering as he burned it: "Ah Heng, we are sisters, but I didn't expect that our fate would be so short. You only know that you are going back to your hometown to worship your ancestors, but you don't know that you will never come back. The Feng family, with so many servants, can actually burn the young lady to death in their own house? Ah Heng, you know whether you died in vain or not. If you were really murdered, you must remember to settle the score with that person. Even if you become a ghost, you can't let them continue to live a happy life!" After saying that, he raised his head and swept his eyes across Feng Chenyu's face like a knife.
Feng Chenyu painted her face black and stood in the team, originally to watch the fun, but who knew that Ren Xifeng could find her accurately, frightened her so much that she stepped back and fled back to the carriage. Now she didn't need to pretend, after such a thing, her spirit was not very good, and she couldn't stand the slightest stimulation.
Ren Xifeng looked at her fleeing back, snorted coldly, and squatted there to continue burning paper.
Feng Tianyu and Bai Furong each grabbed a handful of paper money and started waving them in the air, following the singing of the Huadan. They waved a handful of paper money every time they sang a line, with a strong sense of rhythm.
The onlookers began to point fingers at the Feng family. Some who had heard about the Feng family whispered, "The second young lady was thrown into the mountains in the northwest by Prime Minister Feng when she was young. She was originally intended to starve to death, but she was lucky enough to not only survive, but also return safely."
Others said: "The second young lady is the granddaughter of the former Yao the Divine Doctor, and she is still running Baicaotang in Beijing."
"So, is it true that Prime Minister Feng doesn't care about his daughter's life or death?"
"It's possible. Princess Wuyang said so. How could it be false?"
The people's contempt for Feng Jinyuan became more and more serious. Feng Jinyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked Xuan Tiange loudly: "Princess Wuyang, what on earth do you want to do?"
Unexpectedly, Xuan Tiange still ignored him, but glanced at the Feng family again, and finally stopped at Han. She frowned and said, "She is wearing lace clothes for a family funeral. Is this what you Feng family members like?" After that, she pointed and said, "Come here, tear off her clothes for me!"
Two guards rushed up from somewhere, and without saying a word, they went straight to Han. While Feng Jinyuan was shouting to stop and Han was screaming, they tore off the lace on Han's sleeves, collar, and skirt.
The guard returned to Xuan Tiange holding the torn strips of cloth: "Princess!"
Xuan Tiange nodded and said, "Put these things away. If Prime Minister Feng wants to sue us in the future, we will have evidence."
Feng Jinyuan was so angry that he was breathing heavily. He nodded at Xuan Tiange's words: "I must ask the emperor to judge the matter! You can't insult the court officials just because you are a princess!"
How could Xuan Tiange be afraid of him? He raised his chin and shouted back, "Go ahead and sue! Tell the Emperor that you burned his future daughter-in-law to death, and let the Emperor investigate the situation! Of course, I will also send people to Fengtong County to investigate! Feng Jinyuan, you know whether you feel guilty or not. If we really find any clues, be careful that Brother Nine will burn all of you Feng family members to death in the Feng Mansion, and bury you with Ah Heng!"
She said this harshly. At the same time, Ren Xifeng's paper was burned, and Feng Tianyu and Bai Furong's paper money was also scattered. The few people stood back beside Xuan Tiange, and heard Xuan Tiange's order: "Let's go!" The girls turned around and walked towards the city gate.
Feng Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the trouble had finally stopped. If it continued like this, he really didn't know how it would end.
But Xuan Tiange, who had not yet walked far, raised his voice and shouted again: "Keep singing and playing. If the Feng family wants to go into the city, don't stop them. Just follow us all the way to the Feng Mansion. Sing until dark and the reward will be doubled!"
With that, the old lady felt a sweet and fishy taste in her throat, and a mouthful of blood rushed up. She covered her mouth tightly to hold back the blood, but her face turned red, and her blood pressure suddenly rose.
Aunt Zhao was so scared that she quickly found medicine for her. After taking the medicine, the old lady missed Feng Yuheng even more and couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Feng Chenyu sat in the carriage, listening to the old lady's crying outside, and was so angry that her teeth were almost broken. She subconsciously raised her hand to hit the maid next to her, but when she raised her hand, she found that there was no one for her to vent her anger. She only brought Yiyue with her this time, and now Yiyue is dead, and the people guarding her are Feng Jinyuan's secret guards.
The secret guard saw what Feng Chenyu was thinking, laughed inwardly, gave her a disdainful look, and turned away.
Feng Jinyuan saw the old lady crying non-stop, and had no choice but to go forward to comfort her. When he came, the old lady stopped crying, but she immediately remembered that Xuan Tiange had just torn Han's clothes.
When she turned her head again, Han was standing there wiping her tears and crying. Her collar was torn open but she didn't know how to cover it up. There were dishonest eyes in the crowd watching nearby, looking inside her collar. She even saw a man secretly swallowing his saliva.
The old lady was so angry that she rushed forward, raised her leg and kicked Chao.
Han felt something was wrong and dodged reflexively, but the old lady's kick missed.
It didn't matter that the kick missed, the whole person rushed forward, with legs split, and sat down on the ground with a plop!
