Chapter 208 Gossip in the County Princess's Mansion



When Feng Yuheng came out of the medicine room, Wang Chuan was waiting outside. Seeing her come out, Wang Chuan hurried forward and was about to speak when he saw a knife cut on Feng Yuheng's left index finger. Although it had been treated, it was still red and swollen.

"Miss, how did you do this?"

"It's okay. I just cut myself accidentally with the knife." She was distracted while wiping the scalpel and cut herself on the hand. Of course, she didn't plan to tell Wangchuan about such an embarrassing thing. "I applied the medicine myself and I will be fine tomorrow."

Hearing that he had accidentally scratched it, Wang Chuan felt relieved. He didn't want to bother Feng Yu Heng anymore, but after thinking about it, he still said, "There's news from the palace that the imperial concubine in the cold palace has died." Xuan Tianming had many spies in the palace, and no one knew when it started, but they would always report to Tong Sheng Xuan about all the big and small things.

Bu Baiping's death was not too unexpected. How many concubines who were sent to the cold palace could live long? She just didn't know what the Bu family would do and what the emperor's attitude towards that family was. She still couldn't figure it out.

"Keep a close eye on the latest news." She reminded Wang Chuan, "Also keep an eye on the Feng Mansion. Once Feng Jinyuan sends a letter home, you must read the contents of the letter."

Wang Chuan nodded, "I'll remember that."

At this time, at the gate of the courtyard, Qingshuang led a little girl and hurried over here. Feng Yuheng recognized the girl at a glance. She was Ruyiyuan'er who served Jin Zhen with Manxi. He couldn't help but frowned and asked Wangchuan: "What time is it now?"

Wangchuan replied: "It is past the hour of Hai."

As they were talking, Qingshuang and the other two had already come closer. Seeing Feng Yuheng was also in the yard, they quickly bowed and said, "Young lady, haven't you rested yet? I originally wanted to ask Miss Wangchuan what to do about this matter. Fortunately, Young Lady is here too, so let this girl talk to Young Lady."

After saying that, the little girl beside him knelt down in front of Feng Yuheng, crying and saying, "Please, Second Miss, save Aunt Jin Zhen! Please, Second Miss, save Aunt Jin Zhen!"

"What happened to your aunt?" Wang Chuan asked on behalf of Feng Yuheng, "If you have anything to say, please stand up and tell me. Don't cry first."

Qingshuang helped the person up, and the little maid said, "Tonight, Aunt Han invited a troupe to perform at Guanmei Garden. Aunt took Sister Manxi to take a look, but she didn't come back for a long time. I was worried, so I went to Guanmei Garden to look for her, but... When I got there, I saw Aunt Jinzhen standing on the stage for some reason, and the actors were still performing next to her. The fourth lady and Aunt Han were scolding her from time to time, and even Sister Manxi was standing below with her head down, not daring to go forward at all."

Qingshuang was very surprised when she heard this. "Madam Han is going to watch the opera, why let Madam Jinzhen go on stage?"

The little girl shook her head: "I don't know, I just heard that what the fourth young lady said was particularly unpleasant. Aunt Jin Zhen once said that the second young lady was the only one in the mansion who could protect her. I have no other choice, so I came to ask for help from the second young lady. Please save me, Aunt."

Tongshengxuan was far from the Fengfu's Guanmei Garden, so she couldn't hear the opera from there, but she recognized the girl and knew that she wouldn't lie to her. She nodded and said to Qingshuang, "You go with me and tell her that I asked Jinzhen to come and help embroider a small sample. Bring her and Manxi here together, arrange for them to stay, and send them back tomorrow."

Qingshuang quickly accepted the task and hurried away with the little girl.

Speaking of which, the scene of viewing the plum garden was not only seen by the maids in Jinzhen's yard, but also by Yilin from Chenyu's side. At this time, Yilin was helping Chenyu wash and dressing while telling her about the situation of Han and Fendai bullying Jinzhen.

Chen Yu felt happy after hearing this: "Well done. Jin Zhen used to be a first-class maid beside my mother. I didn't expect that she didn't do her job well and seduced my father. She deserved this day."

When she said this, her face was ferocious, and her eyes almost popped out. Yilin added, "But the second young lady's maid has already gone. She took Aunt Jinzhen to Tongshengxuan in front of the fourth young lady and Aunt Han. Although the fourth young lady was unwilling, she could only vent her anger and did not dare to say a word of not letting her go."

When Feng Yuheng was mentioned, Chen Yu immediately remembered what Fendai had told her during the day.

The Seventh Prince was injured, and not only did Feng Yuheng know about it, but it was also obvious that the two of them were together on the day of the injury. Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua, these two people were so close in private, how could she bear it?

Seeing Chenyu's expression becoming more and more fierce, Yilin was startled and quickly reminded her: "Miss, you must not get angry. The third master of the Shen family said that what you need to do now is to be sensible and kind to others like before, and dispel the resentment of the master and the old lady little by little. As for the fourth young lady, she is just that kind of person, you must not be angry with her."

Chenyu understood this truth, but she always felt uncomfortable about Xuan Tianhua. Whenever she thought about Feng Yuheng being alone with Xuan Tianhua and causing Xuan Tianhua to be injured, she wanted to know what happened on that day and how Xuan Tianhua got injured. Why couldn't she get that immortal man, but Feng Yuheng could get so close to him?

"Bitch!" She slammed the copper basin in front of her, spilling the water all over the floor, frightening Yilin so much that she trembled. "One day, sooner or later, I will punish you myself."

On the first night after Feng Jinyuan left Beijing, no one in Feng Mansion slept well, except Feng Yuheng, who had a good sleep so that he could have enough energy to treat Xuan Tianming's leg the next day.

The next morning, Qingshuang brought breakfast to Jinzhen and Manxi who were staying at Tongshengxuan, and told them: "The young lady has ordered that you should go back after breakfast. Aunt Han will not make things difficult for you in the next few days."

"I want to see the Second Miss." Jin Zhen asked Qing Shuang, "I wonder if the Second Miss is up yet?"

Qingshuang nodded, "I've already gotten up, but there are things to do at the County Lady's Mansion today. The young lady has already ordered us to close the door to visitors for seven days, so you should come back after seven days."

Jin Zhen was puzzled, and Man Xi was also confused. They both asked, "Why do we have to stay indoors for seven days?"

Qingshuang did not answer.

Seeing that the other party was silent, the two stopped asking questions, ate breakfast quietly, and returned to Feng Mansion.

At three quarters past noon, Xuan Tianming's carriage drove directly into the main gate of the County Lord's Mansion.

Wang Chuan and Feng Yu Heng personally welcomed him into the mansion, and then the door of the county lady's mansion was closed tightly, not wanting to receive anyone anymore.

Feng Yuheng directly brought Xuan Tianming to her own courtyard. Even Xuan Tianming's attempt to say hello to Yao was rejected by her. She only said, "I have already told my mother that I will help you heal your leg. You don't have to be so polite."

Xuan Tianming felt that this was not a good idea, so he instructed Bai Ze: "You personally deliver the cloth and head ornaments we brought to Madam. Remember, be polite and courteous when speaking."

Bai Ze nodded, "I understand."

Xuan Tianming explained to Feng Yuheng again: "Yesterday the palace just happened to get two pieces of soft smoke silk, so I asked my father for them and made a curtain for Madam."

She smiled bitterly, "Such a good thing is hard for others to see. You asked for it and it came. I thank you on behalf of my mother. It's a pity that you have such a heart." As she spoke, she pushed him into the medicine room and closed the door. "From the examination to the bone setting and then to the initial recovery, we have seven days. I will do the rehabilitation exercises for you personally. But there is one thing I need to explain. From the examination to the bone setting, I have to give you general anesthesia. That is to say, you will be asleep the whole time. Are you willing?"

He nodded, "I am mentally prepared. Brother Seven told me that he fell asleep when you were treating his foot injury."

"Yes, it's the same no matter who you treat." Seeing that he agreed, Feng Yuheng didn't wait any longer, pushed the man to the middle of the medicine room to sit down, and then took out the anesthetic infusion from the medicine box.

Xuan Tianming had seen this kind of thing when she was treating Princess Xiang. Although it still seemed very new to him, he was not too surprised.

Feng Yuheng was still talking to him as he watched the extremely thin needle pierce the blood vessel on the back of his hand. However, without any warning, he closed his eyes and fell asleep completely.

The moment the anesthesia took effect, Feng Yuheng had already moved the person into the space.

For three days in a row, Feng Yuheng did not leave the medicine room. Qingshuang went to pay respects to the old lady every day at noon. When she arrived, she did not say much, but only told the old lady that the county lady's mansion was busy these days and the second young lady could not leave. After the work was done, she would come to apologize to the old lady in person.

How could the old lady blame Feng Yuheng? In fact, the greetings in recent days were not all in Shuya Garden, because Han Shi had learned to be smart and sent someone to invite the old lady when she went to the opera.

When she was young, Old Lady Feng also loved to listen to operas. Later, when she was old, she couldn't save face if the younger generation in the mansion didn't arrange to invite an opera troupe. Now that Han had invited her, there was no reason for her not to go. She quickly ordered someone to carry her on a soft chair to the Plum Garden.

As soon as the old lady left, the Plum Garden became lively again. The opera troupe also took up permanent residence in the mansion, singing the plays that the masters loved to hear all day long, which brought the Feng family a few days of rare harmony.

On the fourth day, it snowed lightly again, so the open-air stage could not be used for performances, so they stopped for a day to rest.

Fendai personally brought a bowl of sweet soup to Han, but Han was worried and kept persuading Fendai: "Why don't you just stop going to the opera tomorrow? You've been going for several days. What if your father gets angry when he comes back?"

Fendai curled her lips helplessly, "Do you really like listening to opera?"

Han nodded, "Yes, I like it, but I haven't even had the right to speak in the mansion these years, so how can I be allowed to listen to opera?"

"So you have to be tough now!" Fendai told her, "What are you afraid of? The old lady is listening along with you. If anything goes wrong, she will take the brunt of it. The thunder won't strike you. Just listen carefully, and we'll ask a doctor to check it out later."

When she heard that she had to ask a doctor to check, Han became even more nervous: "What if I can't get pregnant?"

"No chance of that happening!" Fendai's eyes showed ruthlessness, "You must get pregnant, and it must be a boy."

Han saw Fendai's determination to go all out, and she didn't know how to persuade her. In fact, her period had just ended on the day she had sex with Feng Jinyuan. A doctor had said before that it was extremely difficult to conceive during that period, but how could she tell Fendai this?

The two were thinking about their own things when a maid came in hurriedly, bowed to Fendai, and whispered, "My fourth lady, Tongshengxuan has been closed to visitors in recent days. I heard that even Bai Furong, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, was turned away."

"Close the door to visitors?" Feng Fendai found it very interesting. "Why would she close the door? Doesn't she go to see the businesses outside?" Thinking about it again, it was true. Feng Yuheng had not been seen coming here in the past few days. She couldn't help but ask again: "Besides these, what else did she find out?"

The girl replied: "The eldest daughter of the Bai family was stopped outside, but this morning, the Seventh Prince entered the County Lord's Mansion without being stopped."

"Seventh Prince?" Fendai's eyes lit up and an idea came to her mind.
