Chenyu gave Feng Yuheng two million silver notes and did not stay in Tongshengxuan for long. She did not even ask Feng Yuheng to write a receipt. It was not because she trusted the other party, but because she heard a little girl from Tongshengxuan report to Feng Yuheng: "The master is coming this way."
She didn't know what Feng Jinyuan was doing here, but Chenyu definitely didn't want her father to know that she had asked the Shen family for money to deal with her own affairs. Feng Jinyuan was in urgent need of one million taels, and if he knew about this money, he would definitely ask for it first.
"After giving my second sister the two million deposit, our relationship is settled, right?" Chenyu hurriedly stood up and asked Feng Yuheng.
"It's settled." Feng Yuheng nodded, and then reminded her: "But if you don't leave me the remaining three million by then, not to mention that I won't treat your illness, I won't even return the two million."
Feng Chenyu gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down with the money." She looked at the road they came from and asked helplessly, "Do you have any other way to go?"
Feng Yuheng glanced at Huang Quan, who took two steps forward and said, "Miss, please follow me. I will take you out through the main gate."
After the people left, Qingshuang came to report: "Master Feng is already waiting for you in the front hall, and the Madam is here too."
Feng Yuheng didn't wait any longer and hurried to the front yard with Wang Chuan.
When they arrived, Feng Jinyuan was sitting in the guest seat in the front hall, holding a cup of tea and complaining to Yao: "Although you and I have divorced, we have been husband and wife for so many years. The old lady is still sick. How long has it been since you last went to ask about her well-being?"
Yao looked at Feng Jinyuan and felt that this person was particularly unreasonable. She had said that the two of them had divorced. Who had ever heard of two people getting together after divorce? Who had ever heard of a divorced woman visiting her former mother-in-law to greet her?
Seeing Yao's contemptuous expression, Feng Jinyuan was furious: "What's your attitude?"
Yao finally got angry - "This is just my attitude of not wanting to see you. Prime Minister, there is no relationship between you and me anymore. You came here today, and I was very kind to give you a chair to sit on and a cup of tea. If you were not here to see Ah Heng, you would not be able to come in today!"
Yao Shi had never spoken to people so harshly before, but after staying with Feng Yuheng for a long time, she had learned a little bit. In addition, after seeing Feng Jinyuan doing more and more shameless things since returning to Beijing, Yao Shi felt more and more that she was really blind at the beginning. Father Yao was a shrewd man in his life, but the most foolish thing he did was probably to betroth his precious daughter to Feng Jinyuan!
Yao's words made Feng Jinyuan feel a little embarrassed. Being treated so harshly by a woman, he could actually sit here and endure it. Why on earth was that?
Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly, put down the tea bowl heavily, turned around and walked out.
Yao didn't stop him at all, and even said nonchalantly, "No need to send me off."
Feng Jinyuan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He just wanted to leave Tongshengxuan as soon as possible. He couldn't stay in this shabby place for a moment.
But before she could take two steps, she saw Feng Yuheng and her maid coming in from outside. As she was about to turn thirteen, this girl became more and more beautiful, especially her eyes, which always exuded a bit of spirituality when they fluttered, making people want to look at them again and again.
He suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit today and stopped moving.
Feng Yuheng had naturally heard the conversation between the two. Seeing that Feng Jinyuan was not leaving, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Isn't father leaving? Ah Heng just wants to talk to mother, so I won't see you off. Goodbye, father."
Feng Jinyuan was choked by her and didn't know whether to leave or stay. He stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.
Yao was an intelligent person, so she could tell that this person must have come to see Feng Yuheng for something, so she took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'm tired too, Ah Heng, you take care of him. As long as he doesn't leave any food, he can stay a little longer if he wants. Mother is going to rest now."
Feng Yuheng laughed, and really wanted to give a thumbs up to Yao's words. She winked at Yao playfully and said with a sweet smile, "Don't worry, mother, we have already eaten dinner, and there is not even any leftovers in the kitchen."
Yao nodded, without even looking at Feng Jinyuan, and left with the maid.
Feng Yuheng then took two more steps into the hall, sat down in the main seat, and then gestured to Feng Jinyuan, "Father, don't stand anymore. Please sit down."
Feng Jinyuan was not used to this way of communication, especially when he saw Feng Yuheng sitting at the top seat and he had to sit at the bottom, he felt particularly uncomfortable.
But he had no right to say anything or change anything. Not to mention that he came here to borrow money today, even if he didn't, she was the county lady, and this was the county lady's mansion, what qualifications did he have to ask for a seat?
He sighed helplessly in his heart, grabbed the teacup on the table and took another sip. He felt more and more embarrassed to say what he was about to say.
Feng Yuheng didn't know what the father wanted to talk to her about, but from his expression, she could tell that he probably had something to ask of her, otherwise he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
She didn't ask, just sat there and waited. When Feng Jinyuan finished his tea, she asked the servant to refill it. When it was the third cup, Feng Jinyuan finally spoke: "Father... I came to borrow some money."
"What?" Feng Yuheng was immediately amused. Feng Jinyuan asked her to borrow money?
"What's your reaction?" Feng Jinyuan was a little unhappy. He was so embarrassed, how could his daughter not give him any face? "Father really needs some money to make ends meet. I have no other choice but to find you. If you don't want to lend it to me, just let me know."
Feng Yuheng suppressed her laughter and asked Feng Jinyuan again: "How much does father want to borrow? What is the money for? As a creditor, I always have the right to know, right?"
Creditor?
Feng Jinyuan simply wanted to disappear here.
But the words had already been said, there was no reason to give up halfway. He looked at Feng Yuheng and said, "Borrowing money for your father is naturally useful, you don't need to know this. As for the amount... one million taels."
After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Feng Yuheng's reaction. Feng Jinyuan was very afraid that Feng Yuheng would tell him that he had no money. The words "no money" really hurt him! Now this girl is the richest person in the Feng family. If she can't get the one million from here, the third prince will really lose his words.
Fortunately, Feng Yuheng did not let him down, and told him clearly: "I have money, but father also knows that all my money was given by His Royal Highness Prince Yu, and these things will also be my dowry saved for myself in the future. Since father has asked, it is not easy for daughter to say no, but since it is a loan, when do you plan to pay it back?"
Feng Jinyuan was overjoyed. As long as she agreed to lend it, everything else would be easy to discuss.
"It will be two years. Before you turn fifteen and become a married woman, I will return the money in full."
Feng Yuheng was stunned, "Father, your calculation is wrong, right?"
"Huh?" Feng Jinyuan was also stunned, "What's wrong?"
"Look!" She counted on her fingers for Feng Jinyuan, "My daughter now has one million taels of silver. I deposited this silver in a bank and received interest every month. This interest alone is almost enough for the servants of Tongshengxuan to eat and drink. But now I want to take this silver out and lend it to my father. The loan period is until the day I come of age. I lend you one million and you pay me back one million. This means that I am losing a sum of interest every month, right? No, no, if this is the case, my daughter will not lend it to me."
Feng Jinyuan was almost so angry that he vomited blood. He just wanted to say, "You, a landlord, are still short of this little rent?"
Before he could say anything, Feng Yuheng said in a gloomy voice, "The landlord's surplus food is not much, so we have to spend it wisely!"
"Okay." He suppressed his anger and asked Feng Yuheng, "Then how much do you want?"
"Just follow the bank's rate." Feng Yuheng said in a businesslike manner, "Also, father can't just take such a large sum of money. Let's make a written receipt."
"Okay." This Feng Jinyuan could accept. Talking to this second daughter was like discussing business, one word at a time, and it was neat and tidy. "Tell someone to prepare the pen and ink!"
Feng Yuheng waved to Wangchuan, who nodded and left. When he came back, he brought some writing brushes and ink into the house.
Feng Jinyuan stood up and walked to the table where the writing brush and ink were placed. Just as he was about to start writing, he heard Feng Yuheng say, "Wait."
"What's the matter?" Feng Jinyuan was afraid of her talking. He was about to get one million, so he didn't want anything to go wrong.
Feng Yuheng stood up and walked forward until he was beside Feng Jinyuan. He frowned and thought for a while before saying, "One million is really too much."
"Once the words are spoken, they can be taken back. As a county lady, are you going to go back on your word?" He was a little anxious. He couldn't let the duck in his hand fly away.
Finally, I saw Feng Yuheng shook her head, and then I heard her say, "That's not the case. I said I would lend it to you, so I will lend it to you. When has your daughter ever broken her word? It's just that one million is too much. I don't feel at ease just lending it out with a promissory note like this."
Feng Jinyuan was helpless, "I am the prime minister of a dynasty, and I am also your father. How can I cheat my daughter of her money?"
"Father, of course, won't do that." She smiled and said, "But Ah Heng is just a little girl, and she always has some little thoughts of a girl. I feel ashamed to use these little thoughts to judge father's heart. But everything has a chance. What if father can't pay the money back? His Royal Highness Prince Yu has said that when his daughter reaches the age of 15, he will ask the emperor to preside over our wedding. If the money cannot be recovered, it will be very embarrassing."
Feng Jinyuan put down his pen, and he was at a loss for words. "Then what do you think we should do?"
Feng Yuheng thought for a moment, "Generally speaking, when borrowing a large amount of money, one must always use something of equal value as collateral, so that the party lending the money will feel at ease. Father, don't you agree?"
"If you say so, then so be it." Feng Jinyuan was worn out by her and lost all his temper, but when he thought about it again, he didn't seem to have anything worth a million.
"Then what is father going to use as collateral?" Feng Yuheng's eyes sparkled, and the corners of her lips curled up again in her almost signature evil smile.
Feng Jinyuan got a headache whenever he saw her smile like that. He thought that as this girl followed the Ninth Prince for a long time, the two of them really became more and more alike, with similar ways of speaking and even the same expressions.
He took a half step back to avoid the invisible pressure from Feng Yuheng's aura, and asked her, "What do you want?"
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything, but walked out the door. Feng Jinyuan was puzzled and hurriedly followed. When they stood in the yard, he saw her looking far away, and the direction of her gaze was exactly where the Feng Mansion was.
Feng Jinyuan's heart tightened, and he heard his daughter say, "Why not use the Feng Mansion as collateral?"
