"Since you know you are the county lady, why don't you kneel?" Feng Yuheng stared at the old woman and said coldly, "You are such an unruly person. Read the latest chapter of Perfect World, and get rid of your eyes quickly."
When the old woman heard this, she quickly got up and knelt down at Feng Yuheng's feet. Her chest was kicked by Huang Quan and it hurt every time she moved, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it. She knew that if others provoked her, they would be provoked, at least there was Han's pressure from above, but this second young lady of the Feng family was the title of county lord, and it was said that she was a county lord with a fiefdom, and she was a legitimate slave owner! Even if someone wanted her life on the spot, she would have no place to complain.
Huang Quan was annoyed when he saw the woman kneeling on the ground with her butt sticking out, so he instigated Feng Yuheng: "It's too disgusting, let's kill her?"
The old woman was so frightened that she almost fainted. She kept saying, "No! No! Miss, please spare me! Lady, please spare me!"
Meixiang also came forward, quietly tugged at Feng Yuheng's sleeve, and whispered, "She is the nanny that Aunt Han invited in from outside, saying that she is here to take care of her pregnancy."
Feng Yuheng raised an eyebrow, "Taking care of a pregnant woman?" Then he looked at the old woman and sniffed as he looked, "But why do I smell a greasy smell on this old lady? She is clearly a pig butcher, how can she take care of a pregnant woman?"
The old woman on the ground shuddered again. How could a butcher guess this right?
Fortunately, Feng Yuheng did not continue to dwell on this, but just kicked her twice, and then said: "This county lady just returned home, and heard that Aunt Han is pregnant, so I came to see her. Since you are the nanny here, then lead the way."
The old woman felt relieved and tried to get up quickly, but she failed after trying five or six times.
A maidservant nearby couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so she came over to help her and pulled her up from the ground.
"Please come this way, County Lady." She stood up and quickly let the person in. Just now, when she saw Ah Ju running back crying with a swollen face, she was wondering what happened. Now that she thought about it, she was probably beaten by the maid next to the County Lady.
The maid didn't even dare to look at Huang Quan, she just kept walking forward with her head down.
The Magnolia Courtyard is very large, with a small pond, a garden and two corridors. Although the pond has no water in winter and the only flowers in the garden are wintersweets, the scenery does not look very exquisite, but just from the two corridors with intricate patterns, you can tell that it is graceful and elegant, and it does have some of the mistress's phoenix style.
Feng Yuheng remembered hearing someone say that when Shen lived in Jinyu Courtyard, she also took a fancy to the nearby Yulan Courtyard, and she would send people to tidy it up from time to time. Feng Jinyuan and the old lady knew that she wanted to occupy the courtyard, but since no one had lived here, they let her do it. It was not until Feng Yuheng returned home that Shen lost the desire to take care of the courtyard. Unexpectedly, Han took advantage of her now.
When Feng Yuheng entered the room, Han was sitting in the main seat in the hall with Ah Ju. It was said that concubines' courtyards were not equipped with halls because they rarely saw guests and did not need halls as formal reception places. However, this Yulan Courtyard was a standard configuration, but Han looked out of place sitting there.
Seeing Feng Yuheng enter the room, Han Shi was a little restless. She wanted to stand up and then sit down. Until Feng Yuheng stood in the middle of the hall and looked at her, she still hadn't decided whether she should stand up to greet him or sit down and wait for Feng Yuheng to talk to her first.
Aju beside her kept her head down, no longer showing any arrogance. Even when Han glared at her, wanting her to make a decision, she didn't react at all.
Han was so angry that her heart was shaking. When she looked at Feng Yuheng again, the sharp gaze that came straight at her made her sweat on her forehead.
Finally, she stood up on her own initiative, nodded towards the crowd below, and said, "Second Miss, are you back home?" Her voice trembled slightly, and even her hands shook.
Feng Yuheng ignored her and looked around the hall on his own.
Han didn't know what she meant, so she smiled and explained, "The old lady sympathized with my pregnancy and was having a hard time, so she specially gave me this Magnolia Courtyard. I just moved in yesterday, and the courtyard is still a mess. Don't be surprised, Second Miss." As she spoke, she glanced at the old woman at the back who was barely able to stand with the support of a maid. She couldn't help but think of what Ah Ju had described, and was shocked. Could it be that this woman was also beaten?
"Is Aunt Han pregnant?" Feng Yuheng asked this question after looking around the hall and stopping.
Han was stunned, and her mind was not able to wrap around for a moment. Shouldn't you evaluate the quality of a house after viewing it? She had already thought about it. If Feng Yuheng said that the house was good, she would say that it was all because of the old lady's care. If Feng Yuheng said that the house was not good, she would say that it was all left over from the past and she didn't touch it much.
But now the topic suddenly turned to her belly, and Han had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes." But in her heart she remembered what Ah Ju had just said, saying that Feng Yuheng would come to check her pulse when he heard that she was pregnant.
Han's heart was almost in her throat. Everyone knew that Feng Yuheng was an excellent doctor, but even if the mansion asked for a doctor, she would find a way to arrange for the one who was brought in by the opera troupe to come in. The doctor said that the day of her pregnancy was the first day Feng Jinyuan left the mansion. If Feng Yuheng examined her again, wouldn't she be exposed?
"Then please sit down, Aunt." Feng Yuheng did not beat around the bush. "I have been in the camp outside the capital for more than a month. I didn't expect there would be such a happy event in the mansion. Ah Heng doesn't have any gifts to give you, Aunt. My medical skills are pretty good. I will take your pulse so that you can feel more at ease with this pregnancy."
"You can't do this!" Han was so frightened that her heart was trembling. "The Second Miss is the Princess of the County, and I am just a concubine. How can I be worthy of the Second Miss to diagnose her pulse? You can't do this, you can't do this."
As she spoke, she stepped back subconsciously, but her swinging hand was suddenly held by Feng Yuheng, "Auntie Han is pregnant, so be careful. There is no one behind your back. What if you fall?"
Han thought to herself that if you didn't scare me, I wouldn't fall. But although she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to say it out loud. She just kept saying, "Thank you for your concern, Second Miss."
Little did she know that Feng Yuheng had already felt Han's pulse clearly during the time he had grasped her wrist.
Feng Jinyuan's child?
That’s great. Feng Jinyuan has been away from Beijing for so long and still managed to give Han a child. This is really a technical job!
Her smile suddenly brightened strangely, "Why is Aunt Han so nervous when she sees me? Pregnancy is a happy event, but you can't be too nervous and excited." She let go of her hand, "Since Aunt doesn't like Ah Heng to diagnose her pulse, then Ah Heng won't do it. You're right, I'm the second daughter of the Feng family. Although I know some medical skills, I'm not a doctor. There's no reason for me to diagnose everyone's pulse."
Han didn't know what to say, so she could only nod and agree: "Yes, the Second Miss is of noble status, how can she just check someone's pulse casually?"
"That's fine." She smiled and said, "I just returned home and didn't have time to pay my respects to the old lady, so I went to Shuya Garden first."
Han said quickly, "Second Miss, take care."
After she said that, Feng Yuheng actually stopped and turned around to say, "There's something I almost forgot. How come Auntie sent the first-class maids around the Third Miss to this yard?" As she spoke, she looked at the nanny who was kicked to the point of vomiting blood, and said, "This butcher woman is really vicious. She actually dared to whip the maids born in my Feng Mansion, and even blood was seen. Auntie is pregnant now, and she can't bear to see this kind of fighting and killing. Ah Heng will take care of it and take her back to help train her. Auntie doesn't have to worry about it."
She left after she finished speaking, not paying any attention to Han. Huang Quan picked up the old woman and dragged her out of the hall.
Before Han could utter a word, Ah Ju beside her hurriedly stopped her. "Auntie." Ah Ju shook her head desperately, "You can't beg for mercy! The second young lady obviously came back home angry today. After all, she is a bought maid from outside. Let her take her away. Auntie, please don't offend the second young lady. ...
"Her face was swollen, and she no longer dared to call Han Madam.
Han was panicking, thinking that once Feng Yuheng returned home, her good life would be over. But no matter what, as long as she didn't cause trouble for her belly, Feng Jinyuan would be back home soon, and someone would naturally make the decision for her.
As she thought about this, she finally felt better, and then she told Ah Ju: "Hurry up, tell the people in the yard to clean up quickly."
At this time, Feng Yuheng was walking out of the Magnolia Courtyard with Meixiang.
Meixiang's back hurt whenever she moved, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, constantly thanking Feng Yuheng.
The old woman who was dragged by Huang Quan was speechless. The collar was almost strangling her to death. She waved her hands desperately, but the more she struggled, the tighter it became, until she could no longer breathe, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Feng Yuheng led a few people back to the front yard. The servants who were previously ordered to help Han move things had all returned to their respective positions. He Zhong was originally talking to them. When he saw Feng Yuheng coming, he quickly ran forward and asked, "Second Miss, do you have any instructions?"
Huang Quan threw the half-dead woman to the ground and said, "Deal with her yourself. She smells like lard and is disgusting."
He Zhong looked at the old woman with disgust and said to Feng Yuheng, "This old woman was bought from outside by Aunt Han. Originally, the old lady sent a maid from her own courtyard to take care of her, but she said it was not convenient for her to use, so she bought one from outside. On the first day when this old woman arrived at the mansion, she suggested to transfer people from all the courtyards to help Aunt Han, saying that this was the only way to establish her authority. Haha, I really don't understand what kind of authority a concubine wants to establish."
He Zhong is the steward of the Feng Mansion. As the saying goes, a third-rank official is in front of the prime minister. The steward of the Feng Mansion has to give some face to even ordinary officials. How could he look down on a concubine in the mansion?
"Tsk." Huang Quan rolled his eyes. "You want to be the mistress? Your thoughts are written all over your face. You think no one can see it. Throw this bitch out. She's too disgusting."
He Zhong smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady, I'll do it right away." Then he bowed to Feng Yuheng and ordered the servants to carry the old woman out. Turning back and seeing Mei Xiang again, he couldn't help but shook his head, "Did she get beaten? That old woman's hands were heavy. Young lady, you must take good care of the wound later, don't let it get worse."
Meixiang nodded with a pale face, "Thank you, Butler He."
He Zhong understood that Mei Xiang could come out with Feng Yuheng because the Second Miss must have asked for her to come out. The Second Miss had always been closer to the Third Miss, so it was only natural for her to help. So she showed some courtesy: "Second Miss, are you going to the old lady?"
"That's right." Feng Yuheng said, "I haven't been home for a long time, so I should pay my respects to my grandmother first."
"Yes, the second young lady hasn't been back home for a long time. Now the mansion is bustling with activity. The eldest prince and the fifth prince send gifts to the mansion every day. The old lady is very happy."
