Wang Chuan noticed that Feng Yuheng was a little bit abnormal, and asked softly while helping her up: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head and said, "It's okay. Om, a must-have for reading books."
Han didn't expect Feng Jinyuan to leave tomorrow. She felt that the news was sudden and a little hard to accept. She couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take for the master to come back?"
Feng Jinyuan thought for a moment and said, "The earliest time would be before the New Year. The capital is a long way from the northern border, and we still don't know what the disaster situation in the northern border is like. Everything is unknown." After saying that, he looked at Shen Qing, and then said to the old lady, "Qing'er came to Beijing this time to prepare for the exam. I hope mother will take good care of him."
When Shen Qing heard Feng Jinyuan mention him, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to the old lady, "Shen Qing greets the old lady."
The old lady knew that Shen Qing had come to Feng Mansion. To be honest, he had been here before. During the three years when Feng Yuheng was not in Beijing, Shen Qing actually lived in the mansion for a while, studying with Feng Jinyuan all day long, and was highly appreciated by Feng Jinyuan.
At that time, Shen was the mistress, and she was very good at reading people's expressions and taking care of her. She gave her a lot of benefits, so she naturally cared more about Shen Qing.
But things are different now. Not only is Shen dead, but her position as mistress has also been stripped away. More importantly, when she was alive, she caused too much trouble to the Feng family. The old lady has long hated the people of the Shen family, so how could she still look down on Shen Qing?
He couldn't help but groan and ignored him.
Feng Jinyuan naturally understood the old lady's thoughts, and reluctantly advised: "Qing'er is half of my son's student. Mother should allow him to stay in Beijing to prepare for the exam for my son's sake. His provincial exam results are among the best. If he passes the palace exam, it will also be an honor for our family."
After he said that, the old lady felt more relaxed. After all, it was a great honor for a family to have a top three scholar.
So he nodded and said to Shen Qing: "In this case, you can stay at home."
Shen Qing quickly thanked her and kowtowed to the old lady again.
Feng Jinyuan glanced at his concubines. Jin Zhen was young and was born as a maid, so she couldn't handle things. Han was even more of a person who couldn't stand up to the public. Looking around, only An was steady and could stand up to the entrustment. After thinking for a while, he said to An, "When I leave, the family will lose a backbone. The old lady is not in good health. An, you should take more responsibility on weekdays and pay more attention to the affairs of the mansion."
An quickly stood up and replied, "Master has asked me to do my best."
The old lady nodded and said, "Well, you are a thoughtful person. Come and sit with me more often on weekdays." She still couldn't find any fault with An.
An leaned forward and said, "Thank you, old lady, for your support."
Feng Jinyuan recalled the scene when Feng Yuheng disappeared in Fengtong County, when An and Yao stood together and confronted him, and he couldn't help but feel alienated again.
He looked at Han and Jin Zhen, and simply added: "You two should learn from them as well."
Han was originally very angry, but Feng Jinyuan's words finally calmed her down a lot. She quickly smiled and responded, "Thank you, Master. I will remember this and will definitely come to visit the old lady more often."
The old lady didn't want her to come often, so she quickly shut her up: "Ah Heng said that my body needs to rest, and you have so many people hanging around me every day, don't you want me to get better?"
Feng Jinyuan quickly shook his head: "Mother, you really blamed me wrongly. I just wanted them to learn more about how to manage a household from me."
"Why should a concubine learn how to manage a household? Whose household is she going to manage?" The old lady rolled her eyes, "The person she should learn from is right here!" She pointed at Feng Yuheng, "Ah Heng is the legitimate daughter of our family, the most noble daughter. In the future, she will marry His Royal Highness the Prince and become the principal concubine. She is the one who should really learn how to manage a household!"
Feng Jinyuan nodded quickly: "Mother is right."
The old lady continued, "I have thought about it. I will manage the household affairs of the mansion until the New Year. After this New Year, Ah Heng will be thirteen years old, and then I will hand over the household affairs of the mansion to her."
Everyone was stunned. No one expected that the old lady who always valued money would give up the power of managing the family and hand over the household expenses to Feng Yuheng. Everyone turned to look at her, but the people who were named were busy thinking about what was wrong with Feng Jinyuan, and didn't listen carefully to what the people in front said.
Wang Chuan quickly poked Feng Yuheng, "Miss, the old lady said that she will hand over the household affairs to you after the New Year."
Feng Yuheng blinked. Housekeeping? She really didn't want it.
"Grandma is not so old that she can't even take care of the household." She looked at the old lady with a smile, "It's just a sprained waist. With Ah Heng here, what is there for Grandma to be afraid of?"
The old lady loved listening to Feng Yuheng talk, and couldn't help but smile, "It's not that I'm afraid, I just want you to exercise more so that you can be the head of the Yu Palace in the future."
"Then my granddaughter just needs to learn more from grandma. As long as grandma can still walk, no one can take away the financial resources in our house." She sealed the matter with words, not only showing her attitude that she would not accept it, but also stopping others from thinking about the financial resources.
The old lady nodded continuously as she listened to her words, praising her repeatedly: "You are worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Feng family. You are so generous and graceful in your words and deeds." Then she looked at Chenyu again.
This time, Chenyu didn't wait for her to finish her sentence, she took the initiative to say: "Second sister is sensible at an early age, granddaughter is happy for her, I will learn more from her in the future, please rest assured, grandma."
The old lady nodded and said nothing more. Feng Fendai suddenly felt uneasy. Feng Chenyu's attitude towards Feng Yuheng made her feel uneasy. If her two sisters who had been legitimate daughters suddenly united, it would not be a good thing for her.
As soon as the crowd at Shuya Garden dispersed, Fendai took Han and quickly returned to her own courtyard.
Han was nearly knocked down several times by her. After finally entering the house and closing the door, she asked helplessly, "What are you going to do now?"
Fendai turned around suddenly and stared at Han, "What? You're asking me? Father is leaving Beijing tomorrow and won't be back until the New Year. Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
"Why should I be so anxious?" Han was surprised. "Your father is an imperial envoy, sent by the emperor on official business. Shouldn't everyone in the mansion wait obediently? Why are you making a fuss?"
"They're waiting for you, too?" Fendai looked at Han with a look of complete incomprehension: "Don't you know what you're missing? You're missing a son! I'm missing a brother! How come I've told you so many times, and you don't seem to be anxious?"
How could Han not be anxious? She was almost anxious to death, but Feng Jinyuan stayed at Jin Zhen's Ruyi Courtyard every night. No matter how anxious she was, she couldn't go to Ruyi Courtyard to snatch her away. What's more, even if she went there, she might not be able to snatch her away.
"Auntie! Mother!" Fendai was anxious. "Now is such a good opportunity! The mistress position in the mansion is vacant. Feng Chenyu is ruined. Yao finally climbed back to the position of mistress, but she divorced with the imperial edict. An is a soft persimmon that is easy to control. Jin Zhen is just a servant and has no children. Who has the best chance in this mansion? Isn't it you and me? As long as you give father a son, father will definitely lift you to the position of mistress. By then, I will be the legitimate daughter. Even if Feng Yuheng is also a legitimate daughter, it doesn't matter. The legitimate second daughter is also a legitimate daughter!"
Fendai's words made Han's heart start to move again. She felt that the child's analysis was correct. Now was really the best opportunity to compete for favor and succession. As long as she used a little trick, she could win Feng Jinyuan's heart back, but... "Your father will leave tomorrow. You have to wait until he comes back before you make any plans."
"You haven't left yet, have you?" Feng Fendai sneered, "Tonight, take out all those good things you haven't used for years, and even if you have to drug your father, you have to keep him here!"
Han was startled, and suddenly remembered that when she first entered the mansion, she used many of the good things she had gotten in the past in this room in order to bind Feng Jinyuan's body. Later, Feng Jinyuan kept doting on her, so she gradually stopped using them. It was not until she had Fendai that she was afraid that a woman's figure would change after having a child and she could not keep Feng Jinyuan, so she picked them up again. She used them until Fendai was seven years old, and only put them away again three years ago.
"Now that you mention it, I remember that I seem to have kept the last two candles." She looked at Fendai and suddenly frowned: "How did you know?"
Fendai rolled her eyes at her and said, "I discovered that thing of yours when I was six years old. Stop pretending. Father should be in Songyuan now. You should think about how to trick him into coming to this yard."
Han didn't say anything. She thought for a while, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said to Fendai, "I see. Go back to your room and don't hang around in this room."
"Okay, as long as you know how to make progress." After saying that, he turned around and left the house.
Han felt more and more that her daughter's mentality seemed a little twisted, but she had no choice but to hope that she could give birth to a son. As long as their status in the family could be improved, Fan Dai would naturally get better.
She made up her mind and went to the bottom of the closet to pull out a set of clothes.
It was a summer dress, made of thin gauze woven with silver thread, the whole thing was aqua red, with the silver thread woven through it, it was sparkling and very pretty. Most importantly, the dress was extremely transparent, and one could clearly see the bra inside from the outside, and the neckline was also very wide open, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
When Feng Jinyuan first met Han, she was wearing this dress and sitting behind the gauze curtain of Qingle Tower to play the piano for him.
Han didn't care what season it was. She went back to the inner room and changed into the gauze. After thinking for a while, she put on a thick cloak outside and then ordered the maid beside her: "Go tell the kitchen to prepare some wine and food. The master will come over later." Seeing the little maid agreed to the task and left the room, she took out the two red candles under the box and replaced the two that were originally beside the bed. Then she wrapped her cloak tightly, and hurriedly walked towards the pine garden without taking any servants with her.
At that time, Feng Yuheng was in the medicine room of Tongshengxuan. She personally handed the packages of medicine to Wangchuan and instructed: "Be sure to hand them over to Brother Qi in person. I have written down the usage and dosage on paper. In addition, I still want to go to the camp outside the capital. You should come back early. If you have time, go tonight."
"Miss seems distracted today, is there something wrong?" Wang Chuan thought of Feng Yuheng's absent-mindedness in Shuya Garden, and couldn't help but feel worried.
Feng Yuheng frowned and said in annoyance, "There is definitely something wrong, but I don't know what it is yet. I'll tell you everything when I meet Xuan Tianming. Anyway, Feng Jinyuan's trip to the Northern Realm this time is definitely not just to suppress disasters."
