Shen Qing had liked Chen Yu since he was a child, and even begged his father to mention it to Shen Shi several times, but was severely rejected by Shen Shi.
He has always been a humble and somewhat cowardly person, with only academic pursuits in his mind. He never knew how to win over the person he liked. When Chenyu rejected him, he was sad for a few days, and then he devoted himself to reading.
This time he went to the capital just to join Feng Jinyuan in preparing for the imperial examination next spring, but because of a heavy snowfall he met the second daughter of the Feng family, which made him think of his cousin Chenyu again.
"Thank you, Second Miss, for saving my life." Shen Qing bowed to Feng Yuheng again. No matter what, she saved his life, and he was grateful in his heart.
Feng Jinyuan also nodded approvingly at Feng Yuheng, but he was not talking about Shen Qing: "You can set up a stall in the capital to distribute warm tea. This is really a kind act. The people will also be grateful for the Feng family's kindness. It's very good."
Feng Yuheng looked at his father. He had never seen someone so shameless before, so he couldn't help but ask, "I set up a stall to give out tea. What does it have to do with the Feng family?"
"You are the daughter of the Feng family!"
"But distributing tea was a joint action between Baicaotang and Prince Yu's Mansion, and has nothing to do with the Feng family." She looked at Feng Jinyuan indifferently and told him: "I contributed to distributing tea, and I used the silver given to me by His Royal Highness Prince Yu. The Feng family did not contribute a penny, so it was useless."
"you……"
"I am just like this. It's not the first day that father has known this." She didn't want to waste any more words with such a shameless man, so she turned and walked out, saying as she walked, "Young Master Shen is fine now. Father can take him away. I still have to serve the people, so I won't chat with you any more." After she finished speaking, she was already outside Baicao Hall.
Shen Qing felt very embarrassed. He didn't expect that the second young lady of the Feng family would not only not give him face, but also not give her father any face. In his eyes, Feng Jinyuan has always been high and mighty. He is a first-rank official in the court. What a high position! How could he make his daughter so embarrassed?
"This girl has been wild in the mountains since she was a child. You don't have to pay attention to her." Feng Jinyuan at least found a way out for himself, "Let's go. The carriage of the mansion is waiting outside."
The servants from the Feng family who came with them took the initiative to step forward and support Shen Qing. After the group left Baicao Hall, they got into the car without saying hello to Feng Yuheng.
Wang Lin glared at the traveling carriage and whispered, "What a family of white-faced wolves!"
Feng Yuheng shrugged helplessly and said to him, "So remember, Baicaotang belongs to the county lord's mansion and has nothing to do with the Feng family. If the Feng family comes to buy medicine, I will kill them hard."
"Don't worry, sir. I've got it all down."
Huang Quan also came closer at this time, "Madam was very worried and didn't sleep well all night. She heard that we had returned to Baicao Hall, so she was relieved to sleep."
Feng Yuheng sighed softly. He left in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to tell Yao.
"Boss." A young clerk ran over and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "We don't have any more room in our shop, but..." He pointed in front of Baicaotang, "There are still many people who have no place to live. When they heard that we are hiring, they all rushed over."
"This is not a solution." Feng Yuheng thought for a moment and told Huang Quan, "Go and welcome Wangchuan to see if she has returned." Then she told the clerk, "Go inside and see which of those who have moved in have less severe illnesses and are younger, especially the middle-aged men. If they can avoid having to stay, don't let them stay. Explain to them and try to leave the beds for the elderly and children. In addition," she glanced at several shops near Baicaotang and said to Wang Lin, "go to the account and withdraw some money, and negotiate with the shop next door to see if you can rent their place to the victims to provide some relief first."
“Okay.” Wang Lin nodded, but then asked, “Then how long do we have to rent it out? A collapsed house can’t be rebuilt just like that. What’s more, building a house requires money.”
"Don't worry about that." Feng Yuheng smiled and looked towards the street. At the other end of the street, Huang Quan Wang Chuan was walking towards this side, and following them was Feng Chenyu's maid Yi Lin. "Someone sent us money."
She turned around and went back to Baicao Hall. Soon, Wangchuan brought Yilin into the inner hall.
Yilin looked at Feng Yuheng nervously, reached into her sleeve with one hand, and took out a few banknotes. "This is what the eldest lady asked me to bring. The eldest lady also asked me to ask when we can start."
Feng Yuheng looked at the banknotes. There were five banknotes, worth two hundred thousand each, for a total of one million. "Tell your young lady to wait at Tongshengxuan. I will be back tonight."
"Yes." Yilin leaned forward, "If the Second Miss has no other instructions, I will go back."
"Go ahead." Feng Yuheng waved his hand. Seeing Yilin leaving the house, he said to Wangchuan, "Go find a clerk and ask them to go out and see which shop Qingyu is in, and ask her to come to Baicaotang."
Qingyu was in charge of all of Feng Yuheng's businesses, and the heavy snow might have delayed her in one of the shops. Feng Yuheng looked at the one million taels of silver in his hand, but he didn't know how much use the money could be used for, how much things it could buy, and whether it was enough to build houses for the victims.
Fortunately, Qingyu arrived at Baicaotang in less than an hour. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "I have wanted to come here for a long time, but Qibaozhai is short of staff. The people in the store are either tied up by patients at home or can't go out because of the heavy snow. I can only look after it by myself."
Feng Yuheng hadn't seen Qingyu for a long time. She felt that the girl seemed to have grown taller, thinner, and darker. She felt distressed: "Are you too tired? You should take a break and not run around outside all the time."
Qingyu waved her hands, "Not tired, not tired. The people below are the ones doing the work. I'm just talking, how can I be tired?"
Feng Yuheng smiled, and without further ado, he handed over the one million taels of silver in his hand, "Look at what you can do with this money?"
Qingyu took the banknote and was shocked after just one look. "One million? Miss, what do you want to do?"
Feng Yuheng calculated: "Resettling these disaster victims, distributing some daily necessities, repairing their houses, etc. Is that enough?"
Qingyu nodded, "Enough."
“There are a lot of victims.”
"I know, and that's enough. It won't cost much to buy things, the main thing is to repair the house. I wonder what kind of repair method you want, young lady?"
Feng Yuheng told her: "You need to organize a group of people to check it out first. If it can be repaired, it will be repaired for free. If it has collapsed, it will be rebuilt on the original site. But after it is rebuilt, the land deeds must be registered with the government again. These deeds will all be counted as belonging to the Yuwang Mansion. The house belongs to the Yuwang Mansion, but the original owner can live there for free for life."
"I understand, but I am a little short of manpower."
"It's okay. I'll ask Wang Chuan to borrow people from Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Chun's Mansion. You can just follow me when the time comes."
"Okay." Qingyu nodded and began to think about how to spend the money.
Feng Yuheng did not stay any longer and asked Wangchuan to borrow people from the two palaces, while he took Huang Quan back to Tongshengxuan.
Chenyu was anxious and went to Tongshengxuan to wait early in the morning. When Feng Yuheng entered the courtyard, she heard Qingshuang saying to Chenyu, "Miss, since you said you won't be back until the evening, aren't you here too early?"
Although Yilin felt that the girl from Tongshengxuan was a little too rude, he really didn't dare to refute her, so he had to say something nice: "Sister Qingshuang, we will wait in the yard and won't cause any trouble for you."
"It's so cold, don't blame others if you get frozen." Qingshuang didn't have a good impression of Feng Chenyu. She rolled her eyes at her and said, "In that case, you guys just wait here." After saying that, she turned around and saw Feng Yuheng approaching. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Miss, why are you back so soon?"
Feng Chenyu was so angry that her nose was crooked. Did this girl think Feng Yuheng came back too early?
"How can I let Big Sister wait too long?" Feng Yuheng said as he walked towards the medicine room, "Come over, the others are waiting outside."
Feng Chenyu knew that she was being called, so she quickly followed him and told Yilin, "Watch out outside and don't let anyone get close."
Yilin nodded and stood still. Huangquan and Qingshuang did not go in again, and went to do their own things.
Feng Yuheng brought Chenyu into the medicine room. Chenyu took the initiative to close the door. She felt that there was a strange smell in the room. It was not a big deal, but as soon as she smelled it, her nerves became tense and she felt like she was sick all over.
Feng Yuheng glanced at her and found it funny. A fourteen-year-old girl had such a heavy mind. She deserved that her life would be gradually advanced. Such a crime was not something that such a young child should suffer. In the years she was familiar with, fourteen years old was still a junior high school student.
"There are two methods, you can choose." She leaned on the table and looked at Chen Yu and said, "One is medical abortion, which means I will give you a medicine, and you will feel it in half an hour at most, and you will bleed from your body, and the amount of blood will be greater than the menstrual flow. The other is artificial surgical abortion, I will anesthetize you and use tools to suck out the contents of your stomach. Which one do you choose?"
Chenyu had never heard of these things, and didn't know how to choose, so she could only ask Feng Yuheng: "Which one is faster? Which one won't be discovered?"
Feng Yuheng told her: "It's about the same speed. You need to rest for a few days, but it won't affect your normal walking. As long as you are careful, it won't be discovered. But I suggest you choose artificial surgery, because medical abortion may not be clean. Once there is residue, you will need to clean your uterus again later, which will be very harmful to your body."
"Then I'll listen to you." She had no idea and could only leave everything to Feng Yuheng, but she was not very reassured and kept reminding her: "I gave you one million taels of silver, second sister, you have to be worthy of that one million."
"Don't worry." Feng Yuheng took out an anesthetic needle from the medicine box and walked in front of Feng Chenyu. "One million is nothing, big sister. I dare to bet with you that you will give me more money in the future."
Feng Chenyu was shocked, not knowing what Feng Yuheng meant by saying this. She really wanted to ask why he wanted to give her more money. Could it be that he wanted to blackmail her by using the matter of having the baby removed?
But before she could ask, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and then her consciousness faded and she fell into a deep sleep.
