Feng Jinyuan didn't know when he started to be afraid that Feng Yuheng would settle accounts with him. He didn't know when he started to always owe Feng Yuheng a debt. Now that Feng Yuheng had lost a girl and came to him for it, how could he pay it back?
For a moment, he began to think rapidly in his mind.
The Feng family and the Shen family fell out, but he still acquiesced to the relationship between Chenyu and the Shen family. He felt that Chenyu had lost her mother and it was hard to break her memory. Secondly, if the Shen family was willing to occasionally give him some money, it would be much easier for him to operate outside.
Just like this time, he had been thinking about what to send to the palace, and he had been thinking for two months but couldn't come up with a good idea. Although he found some good things outside, he either thought they were tacky or had sent similar things in the past, so there was no object that satisfied him. But the Shen family made a move this morning, which was a wooden barrel made of jade, half a person's height, and the barrel was full of topaz. The most surprising thing was that the topaz was ground into the shape of ginger, all piled up in the barrel, with half an arm's height on top, like a small mountain.
Not to mention that these jades and topaz are priceless, just the meaning, barrel and ginger, the Shen family said, this is called a barrel of the country. He was shocked when he heard it at the time. It is conceivable that if it was sent to the palace as a New Year gift, it would please the emperor. He was surprised that the Shen family used such expensive things to show their goodwill, but he didn't expect that they were waiting for him here.
The old lady saw that Feng Jinyuan was in a dilemma, and thought that he thought the same as she did at first, that this was an unsolved case and the government office could not solve it. So she quickly told him, "The goshawk has been caught by Ah Heng and sent to the government office. Don't worry, if our Feng family children are attacked, the Jingzhao Yin will not handle the case without paying attention."
Feng Jinyuan's heart tightened. Has the eagle been caught? As soon as he entered the city today, he heard that the Jingzhao Yin had been replaced. He hadn't asked who the replacement was yet. But since the old lady had said so, he couldn't say anything else. Moreover, the Shen family was getting bolder and bolder. They had repeatedly touched his children, and now they were targeting Feng Zirui, their only child. If he continued to tolerate it, he was afraid that the Shen family would become even more aggressive, and sooner or later they would target him.
"Good! You did a good job!" He looked at Feng Yuheng and said seriously: "I also believe that Jingzhao Yin will not fail to handle the case properly knowing that it was our Feng family's children who were attacked. I will personally keep an eye on this matter and will definitely find out the thief behind the scenes and tear him into pieces!"
He gritted his teeth as he said this, with anger emanating from his whole body. When Feng Chenyu saw this, she was so scared that she stepped back and almost fell down.
Feng Yuheng nodded with satisfaction, "Father, you said so, Ah Heng is relieved. Father, you are tired from the journey, you should go and rest first. Grandmother has prepared a welcoming banquet for you, you can have the meal after you have rested."
Feng Jinyuan had no intention of resting, so he immediately rejected Han and Jin Zhen's invitation and returned to Song Garden with his entourage.
After she left, all the female relatives also dispersed. Feng Chenyu walked at the end in a daze. Her idea of winning Feng Jinyuan's pity was in vain. She was sad and scared in her heart, and she hated Feng Yuheng like never before. She knew that her second sister was best at fanning the flames. Although the girl looked cold and indifferent and didn't say a few words from beginning to end, every word she said was true. It seemed casual, but she stabbed Feng Jinyuan's heart as soon as she opened her mouth. Now Feng Jinyuan looked at her with some disgust. What should she do?
Feng Yuheng, who was walking in front, deliberately slowed down her pace until Chenyu passed by her side. She then said jokingly, "Alas, we sisters really share the same fate. In the past, the elder sister had Yilin and Yiyue by her side, and the younger sister also had Wangchuan and Huangquan by her side. But now the two pairs of girls are separated, which is really sad."
Feng Chenyu's heart trembled when she heard her talk, but Feng Yuheng liked to chat with her: "I heard that the death row at Jingzhao Yin's place is pretty good. I have a plan. Do you want to listen to it, big sister?"
Feng Chenyu heard her mention the death row before she talked about her plan, and she knew that what was coming next was definitely not good. She wanted to say no, but her footsteps stopped involuntarily along with Feng Yuheng. Then she heard Feng Yuheng say, "Did you catch the girl next to me? Very good, from tomorrow on, I will send them to the death row one by one! I will not stop until Wangchuan comes back. What do you think of my idea, big sister?" After saying that, she took Huangquan and left without waiting for Chenyu to answer.
Chenyu's legs went limp and she sat down in the snow. Yilin hurried to help her up, but she whispered, "Hurry up and tell Shen Qing not to go out for the next few days. It's best not to even step out of the door! Go!"
Facts have proved that this warning is very useful. Shen Qing was so obedient that he did not even attend Feng Jinyuan's welcoming dinner at night. Feng Jinyuan even sent people to invite him twice, but was told that the young master should concentrate on studying and apologize to the master another day.
Feng Jinyuan knew that he was a nerd who was only focused on studying, so he didn't force him.
This meal was almost entirely about the family members expressing their concern and longing for Feng Jinyuan, and then Han and Jin Zhen took turns launching an emotional and tearful offensive, actually coaxing Feng Jinyuan into drinking two more glasses.
It was not until Feng Jinyuan was finally able to get rid of the two that he actually sat next to Feng Yuheng with a glass of wine.
Fendai originally wanted to call him back, but Han pulled her back and shook her head slightly, "Don't go. Your father will definitely talk to the second young lady about something. Don't go and cause trouble."
Feng Fendai thought about her second sister who was stubborn and a bit weird, and put her foot down again.
Feng Yuheng was not surprised by her father's behavior. He had been away from Beijing for only two months, and so many things had happened in Beijing. It would be strange if she was not curious. But Feng Jinyuan didn't speak, so she didn't speak either. One of them drank wine, the other drank tea, and occasionally picked up some food. They sat like this for two incense sticks.
In the end, Feng Jinyuan couldn't sit still first. He cleared his throat twice and asked her casually as if chatting with her, "Is Your Highness the Ninth Prince okay?"
Feng Yuheng knew that he actually wanted to ask about Xuan Tianming's legs, but since he asked vaguely, she could also answer vaguely. So she said: "The princes are all pretty good."
Feng Jinyuan was upset after hearing this, but he was not discouraged. He continued to ask, "Father heard that you went to the camp outside the capital to help His Highness the Ninth Prince train the troops?"
"Yes." She nodded. "Since the emperor has rewarded me with the Houyi bow, I must take it with me to see what the world has to offer."
Feng Jinyuan felt that none of his questions had received substantive answers, so he became a little angry, and a bit fierce appeared in his eyes. When he spoke again, he said something with a hidden meaning: "Your eldest sister and fourth sister have both been favored by the princes. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."
She looked at the father with puzzled eyes, "Why should you thank me? They are the ones who seized the opportunity to show themselves. Moreover, the fourth sister's marriage was arranged by the eldest sister. Father should thank the eldest sister."
Feng Jinyuan was so angry that he clenched his fist, "Then tell me, why did His Highness suddenly send something to your elder sister?"
She blinked, "I'll take note of this. I'll definitely ask for your father next time I see His Highness." She smiled after she finished speaking, and without waiting for Feng Jinyuan to ask, she took the initiative to ask him, "Did everything go well for your trip? The Northern Territory is close to Qianzhou, I wonder if you had any adventures?"
Feng Jinyuan frowned even more, he could hardly tell what his daughter meant. If it was a very common question like this, it would be normal if it came from someone else, but when it was said by Feng Yuheng, he couldn't help but think about it. Sometimes he really felt that the position of prime minister should be held by his daughter. She was just thirteen years old and had such thoughts and brains. If she was a boy, what would her future be like?
He held the wine glass, took a sip, thought for a while and then said: "It snows a lot. Every year, natural disasters turn the northern border of Dashun into a vast expanse of white. The victims...
There are so many casualties every day, and I am very tired." After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Feng Yuheng to ask, and immediately said: "I heard that Jiu Dian's leg can't be cured?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "I didn't expect him to be able to stand up."
He gave up and didn't want to talk to his daughter anymore. He felt that he would be hurt if he kept talking to her.
Seeing Feng Jinyuan's ugly face and only caring about drinking, the old lady knew that Feng Yuheng must have said something unpleasant again. She didn't want Feng Jinyuan to feel uncomfortable on the first day he came back, so she quickly changed the subject: "The New Year is coming in a few days. On the first day of the New Year, you have to go to the palace to pay respects to the emperor and the empress. I'm not feeling well this year, so I won't go. As for the rest of you... Jinyuan, you see, who should I take with me?"
Feng Jinyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's all go!"
Chenyu was the first to object: "Father, I'm still injured, so I won't go, right?"
"You're not going?" Feng Jinyuan snorted, "If His Royal Highness King Qilin asks, you should teach your father how to answer."
Chen Yu was shocked and immediately realized that Feng Jinyuan was unhappy because of the matter of the eldest prince. She immediately expressed her opinion - "Father, it was the eldest prince who was trying to please me. I don't know why he did this, but I swear, except for accepting those things, I have never met with the eldest prince in private!"
Feng Yuheng suddenly interrupted: "Fortunately, Big Sister is not confused, otherwise if this matter were to spread, Big Sister's reputation would be ruined."
"Of course, there is no need for my second sister to remind me of this." Chenyu couldn't help but replied.
Feng Xinheng didn't say anything else and just focused on eating her favorite dishes.
On the other side, Fendai lowered her head in worry and hid behind Han. Feng Chenyu had not seen the eldest prince, but she had seen the fifth prince several times. It would be bad if Feng Jinyuan investigated.
However, Feng Jinyuan obviously had no intention of pursuing this, and only spoke his own thoughts: "In the past six months, our mansion has had many conflicts with the palace, but in the final analysis, it is just a matter of girls. You all go to pay your respects to the Queen and say a few good words, and it will be over." As he spoke, he thought of what the Queen said in the palace during the day. He couldn't analyze why the Queen changed her mind so quickly, but after all, she mentioned it, so it would be even more difficult for him to hide Chenyu, so his attitude eased a little, and he said to Chenyu: "Today, the Queen specifically mentioned you, saying that there were many misunderstandings in the past, but now they have been resolved, and you can go to the palace to thank her for her kindness."
When Chenyu heard this, she guessed that the eldest prince must have spoken well of her in front of the queen again, so she quickly said, "Daughter understands, daughter will definitely go."
"Yes." Feng Jinyuan nodded, and was about to say something else, but he heard Fendai suddenly shout angrily: "Why are you so flustered? How many lives do you have to bear the consequences of bumping into Auntie's belly?"
Everyone immediately looked towards her.
