The old lady just picked up the tea bowl and was about to take a sip, but the girl said something and the tea in her mouth suddenly sprayed out, almost choking her to death.
"Ninth, Ninth Prince? What is he here for?" The sudden visit of the Ninth Prince messed up the Feng family's tongues, and they all started stuttering.
Even Kang Yi became a little nervous, and couldn't help but glance at Feng Yuheng who was sitting next to him. He thought to himself, no wonder it was so calm before, it turned out to be a sign of a coming storm!
"Old lady." Seeing that everyone in the room was just surprised but no one moved, the little girl became anxious and hurriedly reminded everyone, "The Ninth Prince is still waiting in the front yard."
Feng Yuheng stood up first and said casually, "Why don't you invite Your Highness to sit in the hall? What are you doing in the front yard in such a cold weather?"
The girl shuddered, thought for a moment, and replied, "I don't know if he has gone to the hall yet. When he reported just now, he said he had gone to the front yard."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Did His Highness say what you are here for?"
The girl replied: "It is said that it is to help the second young lady calm down."
Bang!
The old lady's hand trembled and knocked over the tea bowl beside her.
To calm the Second Young Lady? Didn't Feng Yuheng calm himself? Wasn't it enough to beat Ru Jia into that state? What was the Prince Yu doing again?
The old lady thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. Kang Yi took the initiative to help her up, and then said, "His Highness is here, let's go and see him!"
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "Mother is right."
The Feng family members walked to the front yard with trepidation, and immediately saw Xuan Tianming surrounded by a group of people in the middle of the yard. The man was still wearing a purple robe and sitting in a wheelchair. The golden mask on his face seemed to be newly replaced, and it was even brighter than the original one. Behind him stood a group of guards, and they also carried a few large boxes and placed them in the middle of the yard. Everyone's face was very serious and looked intimidating.
The old lady and Kang Yi walked forward side by side, and led everyone in Feng Mansion to kneel down and pay homage. Kang Yi was obviously not used to such a great ceremony. Since the King of Qian Zhou came to power, she had never performed a kneeling ceremony, even when she met Tianwu on the first day of the new year, she did not perform a kneeling ceremony.
But now her identity is different. She is the daughter-in-law of the Feng family. The old lady has already knelt, and it would be disrespectful for her not to kneel. So she also knelt down with the old lady.
Everyone knelt down, but Xuan Tianming acted as if he didn't see anything. He just waved at Feng Yuheng, called her to him, and then directed her to turn left and right a few times before saying, "Fortunately, you are not hurt."
Kang Yi was furious when he heard this. Feng Yuheng was beating people, right? That was simply one-sided torture. How could she be injured?
Just as she frowned, Xuan Tianming finally spoke to the Feng family, and heard him say, "I heard that during Prime Minister Feng's wedding yesterday, someone bullied our Heng Heng?" He twisted the whip in his hand as he spoke, and his voice was so cold that people could shiver at the sound of it. "Old Madam Feng--" He began to call out names, frightening the old lady to the point of bending over, "Can you tell me who bullied our Heng Heng?"
The old lady was already frightened by him. She couldn't say a word and just knelt there trembling.
Feng Yuheng glared at Xuan Tianming and said helplessly, "Grandma is so old, why are you scaring her?" Then he stuck out his chin towards Kang Yi beside him and said, "Change someone else." After saying that, he took the initiative to step forward and personally helped the old lady up, "Grandma, get up quickly. This has nothing to do with you. Don't be afraid."
After the old lady stood up, she stared at Feng Yuheng blankly. She wanted to ask, if she didn't have to be afraid, then who should be afraid? Kang Yi?
Sure enough, Xuan Tianming spoke again and asked Xiang Kangyi directly: "Since the Feng family has a new mistress, I would like to ask this lady to tell us what happened at the wedding banquet yesterday?"
Kang Yi's scalp was numb, and all the legends about Xuan Tianming echoed in her mind. But since the question had been asked, she had to answer it. Kang Yi thought about it, raised her head, and still knelt on the ground, and said to Xuan Tianming: "It is because I did not teach my daughter well and said something that made the county lord angry. I believe that with this teaching, my daughter will be able to control her temper, change her past, and make friends with the county lord and her sisters."
"Oh?" Xuan Tianming looked at him coldly, "Are you telling me that Princess Ji'an has already vented her anger about what happened yesterday, and I shouldn't do anything unnecessary today?"
"Your Highness has misunderstood. I didn't mean that." Kang Yi felt that Xuan Tianming was really difficult to deal with. She also felt that it was a little narrow-minded of a grown man to come here to seek revenge. She couldn't help but say, "Ru Jia was sent to the palace by the Grand Prince to learn etiquette yesterday. The master has not returned from court. Your Highness has brought so many guards here. I guess there must be something important to discuss with the master. Why don't you invite Your Highness to sit in the hall for a while?"
As soon as these words came out, the Feng family trembled again. The old lady thought that Kang Yi's mouth was really terrible. Could she really figure out Dashun's situation?
Xuan Tianming suddenly laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke, and pointed at Kang Yi and said, "Are you saying that I took advantage of Feng Jinyuan's absence to come and bully your family, young and old, and that I was very rude?" He laughed as he spoke, and shook his head as he laughed, "I have never known what Feng Du is since the day I was born. I only know that someone upset my future daughter-in-law yesterday, and today, I came to your Feng family to ask for an explanation."
Kang Yi was also angry. When she mentioned this, she thought of Ru Jia's bloody body. She was angry and distressed. She couldn't help but say, "What I said yesterday was not wrong. Princess Liu'an has really vented her anger!"
Xuan Tianming raised his head to the sky, "Heng Heng whipped her because she insulted me. And I came here today to avenge you for making me angry. These are two completely different things, how can they be mixed up? Also, Madam, you should be thankful that it was Heng Heng who whipped first. If it was me, your daughter would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago."
Three big words appeared on the foreheads of all the Feng family members - unreasonable!
Can this Ninth Prince be reasonable for once?
I don’t know if Xuan Tianming has learned the art of mind reading, but when he saw the expressions of this family, he blurted out: “Do you think this king is unreasonable?”
The Feng family members quickly shook their heads and dared not reply, but Feng Yuheng spoke quietly: "How could that be? Everyone in the world knows that His Highness the Ninth Prince is the most reasonable person."
Is there?
The Feng family members looked at each other in bewilderment. To say that Xuan Tianming was reasonable was ridiculous. Since the day this prince was born, had he ever had anything to do with the word "reasoning"? Not only him, but also his mother, and his future daughter-in-law Feng Yuheng. Which one of them had ever been reasonable?
Kang Yi stared at Feng Yuheng and felt that the two of them were really a couple. There was no one else in the world who could lie so well with their eyes open.
"So what Your Highness means is..." Kang Yi didn't want to beat around the bush any more. This disaster couldn't be avoided anyway, so it would be better for him to give a straight answer as soon as possible.
Kang Yi was determined to do it, but the Feng family was afraid! What if this meant whipping everyone in the Feng family?
Just as the family was trembling with fear, Xuan Tianming turned his wheelchair to Feng Yuheng's side, snatched him away from the old lady in a domineering manner, and then shook the little hand, and finally said: "This king doesn't mean anything. The woman who made Hengheng angry probably can't stand another beating from me, so I guess I'll just spare her for now."
Kang Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and without saying anything, he kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life."
"Yes." Xuan Tianming accepted her greeting as a matter of course, but he added: "However, the death penalty can be pardoned, but the living crime cannot be forgiven!"
Kang Yi was stunned. "Living crime?"
"That's right." Xuan Tianming raised his voice, and his previous laziness was removed a little. Then all the Feng family members heard him say shamelessly: "Our Hengheng is a delicate and precious girl. It's no small matter for her to get angry. If she gets sick from anger, it will hurt her vitality. If her vitality is hurt, she must use the best elixir to replenish it. This prince usually doesn't want to provoke her. He goes along with her in everything and gives in to her everywhere. He holds her in his hands for fear that she will fall. My father also loves her and is afraid that her weak character will be bullied by others, so he gave her the title of Ji'an County Master, thinking that at least he can scare people, but he didn't expect that there are still people who are so blind."
He just kept talking to himself, making the Feng family members break out in cold sweats.
Feng Yuheng is weak? Will he be bullied?
Ninth Prince, will you die if you don’t talk nonsense?
Isn't it good enough that she doesn't bully others?
Of course, this was the roar in people's hearts, but they dared not say anything. Not only did they not dare to say it, but they also had to pretend to agree with it. They stood with their heads bowed, nodded from time to time, and waited cautiously for Xuan Tianming's next words.
Xuan Tianming glanced around and said, "The reason why I said so much is to tell this lady that the cost of our Heng Heng getting sick is quite high."
"Cost?" Kang Yi was puzzled. After thinking about it, he asked carefully, "Your Highness, are you talking about...silver?"
"Smart!" Xuan Tianming nodded. "Let me put it this way. After all, you are guests from afar. We in Dashun can't hold on to one mistake forever, right? So, if you used money to make up for the mistake, just give Hengheng the money for the supplements."
Kang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and the Feng family members also breathed a sigh of relief. Things that can be solved with money are not a big deal. The Ninth Prince really showed mercy this time!
Kang Yi said generously: "We accept the punishment. Please name a price, Your Majesty."
Xuan Tianming twisted Feng Yuheng's fingers, counting and counting, and finally counted out five - "Five million taels."
The Feng family members all broke out in a sweat. Medicine made of gold shouldn’t be so expensive, right?
Kang Yi's heart trembled for a while. She was so arrogant that she was definitely cheated. But what could she do if she was cheated? They were cheating her openly, so what could she do? This was called a dumb person eating coptis chinensis. She had no way to express her pain, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I plead guilty."
"Yes." Xuan Tianming nodded and added: "Five million taels of gold."
The Feng family collapsed collectively.
