The old lady finally calmed down a bit, and took the initiative to come forward to ease the relationship with Feng Yuheng: "Ah Heng, please go back to Liuyuan to live first. When the Moon Gate is opened, check if there is anything missing over there, and tell grandma, and grandma will add it all for you."
Feng Yuheng smiled, "Thank you, grandmother. His Royal Highness Prince Yu sent a lot of decorative items, and I'm sure we don't need too many. We just need some help to arrange them."
"That's easy." The old lady was happy, right! This was like a normal conversation, just asking for it, she was afraid that Feng Yuheng would say nothing, which would make her anxious and helpless. "Madame Zhao has contacted all the servants, you can pick as many as you want." After thinking about it, she added: "These servants bought from outside are under your sole responsibility, and their indentures do not need to be handed over to the public, you can just take them. As for the monthly salary, it will still be borne by the public."
Shen was not happy to hear this and started to yell, "How can that be possible? The indentures of all the servants in our Feng Mansion must be kept in the public domain. If this is allowed and others follow suit, won't the mansion be in chaos?"
Feng Jinyuan and the old lady glared at Shen Shi. Chen Yu took one look and quickly picked up the task of smoothing things over again: "Don't worry, mother. Chen Yu promises that she won't hire any more servants."
An and Han also said with Xiangrong and Fendai: "I don't know how to do it either."
Feng Jinyuan snorted coldly and asked Shen: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Shen's arm was pinched by Chenyu so hard that it hurt, and she could only lower her head and remain silent.
Seeing that she was finally at peace, Feng Jinyuan also breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you all have no objections, let's do it this way! We've been busy all morning and we're all tired, so let's go our separate ways."
Everyone bowed and left. Before leaving, Feng Yuheng glanced at the old lady, thought for a moment, and said, "Grandma's back pain can be treated according to the method Ah Heng mentioned before."
The old lady immediately smiled and said, "My dear granddaughter, don't worry, I remember everything you said."
Feng Yuheng then bowed again and returned to Liuyuan with the two maids.
The old lady looked at her leaving, feeling relieved. Was that girl concerned about her? In that case, was she willing to accept the advance?
Unfortunately, Feng Yuheng didn't think so. In her opinion, everyone in this mansion needed to be corrected, but she was alone after all, and she had to take care of Yao and Zirui. It was not wise to deal with too many people at once. It would be better to first win over a few fence-sitters who would change their ways at the first sign of trouble, and then come back and slowly win them over after she had suppressed the stubborn ones.
On the way back to Liuyuan, Feng Yuheng asked the names of the two girls, which were very special. One was called Huangquan and the other was called Wangchuan. Huangquan was more active, while Wangchuan seemed a little cold.
Huang Quan took the initiative to report to Feng Yuheng the reason why they were arranged to come here: "His Highness said that the Left Prime Minister's Mansion is not much cleaner than a bandit's den. Although Lord Feng passed the imperial examination, most of his family members are not well-educated. What's more, Lord Feng didn't read the books properly. He can't even be a good father. I don't understand how he can be the prime minister of a country. So His Highness asked me and Wang Chuan to come here to protect the princess. We must not let the princess get into trouble or be bullied in the Feng Mansion."
Wangchuan saw that Huangquan seemed to have finished speaking, and added calmly: "The prince also said that once the princess turns fifteen and reaches the age of marriage, the wedding will take place immediately."
Feng Yuheng's forehead was covered with sweat. Getting married at the age of fifteen, what kind of rush are you ancient people in?
Thinking about that person again, I found that a trace of expectation was quietly sprouting in my heart.
After a moment of calming down, he asked Huang Quan Wang Chuan beside him, "I see your steps are light and your energy is even, you don't look like an ordinary girl, have you practiced before?"
Huang Quan admitted with a smile: "I am the best at swordsmanship, and Wangchuan is the best at light work. His Highness said that we should serve the princess while protecting her."
Feng Yuheng thought she was too lively, "Why do you keep calling me princess? I haven't even married your prince yet."
"It's only a matter of time!"
Huang Quan looked indifferent, but Wang Chuan had thought more than her, "Huang Quan, you have to remember, this is Feng Mansion. No matter where Master Feng reads those books, we can't break the rules. You have to call her Second Miss here."
Huang Quan nodded, "Okay, then give the Feng family some face."
Feng Yuheng smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that Feng Jinyuan, the left-hand man, was not very popular. At least that person did not take him seriously at all. Otherwise, there would not be such a big drama of betrothal today, and even the maids around him would not have evaluated Feng Jinyuan like this.
"Wangchuan, just follow me from now on." She had no intention of correcting the two people's disrespect to Feng Jinyuan, and she also believed that the girl sent by that person must be sensible. Such words were only said in front of her, and she would definitely not cause trouble in front of others.
"What about me?" Huang Quan was stunned. "Princess... No, Second Miss, don't you want me anymore?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "Of course, but you have more important tasks than following me."
Huang Quan couldn't figure it out, "Is there anything more important than serving the Second Young Lady?"
Feng Yuheng told her: "Go and serve and protect my mother and brother."
Huang Quan nodded, she understood. As early as when His Royal Highness the Prince gave them this task, Bai Ze personally told them everything about the Feng Mansion and the second young lady of the Feng family.
Of course, the so-called everything is just the normal everything, not including their chance encounter in the northwest mountains. But it is said that His Royal Highness the King analyzed the character of the second Miss Feng that night.
Therefore, Huang Quan and Wang Chuan both understood that after being abandoned for three years, if there was anyone in this world that Second Miss Feng could care about, it would be her mother and brother who had suffered with her in the mountain village.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely protect the Madam and the Young Master." Huang Quan put away his hippie smile and replaced it with a serious look.
Feng Yuheng nodded secretly, thinking that the girl that person sent was indeed reliable.
The road back to Liuyuan is very long. Although the three of them asked and answered questions along the way and seemed to be having a pleasant chat, Huang Quan and Wang Chuan's vigilant eyes never left Manxi who was following them from a distance.
Feng Yuheng had noticed this a long time ago, and also noticed Manxi's expression. The girl followed them at first, but later she talked to Huangquan Wangchuan about the topic of the Prince Yu's Mansion, and Manxi consciously slowed down her pace and followed from a distance, keeping a distance where she could see but not hear.
She felt a little more in agreement with Manxi. If she could recruit such a perceptive girl and make good use of her talents, she would be a rare talent.
When the group returned to Liuyuan, Yao and Zirui were already waiting at the gate. When they saw them coming back, Zirui ran over and threw himself into Feng Yuheng's arms, "Sister, sister, why did you come back just now? Who is outside? I want to go and see, but Nanny Sun won't let me go."
She rubbed Zirui's head and told him, "An elder from a very famous family came to visit our home. My sister and the elders are all in the courtyard to welcome him."
"Then why can't I go?" The child looked down at his clothes: "Is it because this set of clothes is too shabby and will embarrass the family? It doesn't matter, don't we have a new set? I can wear it, Zirui doesn't mind the collar being prickly."
Speaking of clothes, Feng Yuheng remembered something and turned around to order: "Madame Li, this morning the old lady said to arrange for someone to go to the clothing store to buy some ready-to-wear clothes for us. Go and ask when they can be purchased."
Without saying a word, Nanny Li accepted the task and trotted off to Shuya Garden.
What a joke! The story of the Second Miss Feng's comeback had long been spread throughout the Feng Mansion by the quick-talking servants. Although they were a little far away, they could still hear some of the news. His Royal Highness sent Madam Zhou to support Feng Yuheng. How dare she, an old maid, go against the Prince Yu Mansion?
As soon as Nanny Li left, Bao Tang felt a little awkward. She could see that Manxi's attitude towards Feng Yuheng had also changed a bit, just like Nanny Li, but after all, she had not witnessed what happened in the front yard with her own eyes, and she was not as experienced as Nanny Li in handling things. Therefore, when Huang Quan and Wang Chuan bowed to Yao and said, "Your servants Huang Quan and Wang Chuan greet Madam," they subconsciously said, "Are you new here? You don't know any rules. Our Feng Mansion's Madam lives in the Jinyu Courtyard, and this one is just a concubine."
Wangchuan looked at Baotang expressionlessly. Just one look was like a cold light shooting out. Baotang shrank his neck suddenly, and then he heard Wangchuan say, "Our rules were taught by the Prince Yu's Mansion. If you have any objections, I can take you to the Prince Yu's Mansion to argue."
Baotang didn't have the ability to do that, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Nanny Sun was very happy to see the two new maids treat Yao so politely. She pulled Huangquan Wangchuan and said repeatedly: "From now on, we are family, family."
In Liuyuan, the master and his servants were greeting each other. Outside, the butler He Zhong was directing a group of servants to carry the betrothal gifts sent from Prince Yu's Palace into the courtyard.
Yao had only heard the gossipy servants talk about what happened in the front yard before, but now that she saw the boxes of things, she realized that the marriage contract she had made was now really imminent. But she was not very happy about these good things, instead she was sad, and even Feng Zirui's joy could not affect her.
Seeing Huang Quan and Wang Chuan helping to direct the servants to move things, Yao then pulled Feng Yu Heng to the side a few steps and whispered, "I heard from the gossiping servants that the Ninth Prince's face and legs were injured, and they said that there is no hope for him to have an heir. Do you want to reconsider this matter?"
Feng Yuheng laughed, "Mother, what are you asking me to consider?" She patted Yao's arm and comforted her, "Don't say that our status in the Feng Mansion is not as good as it was yesterday. Even when you were still the head of the family and I was still the legitimate daughter of the Feng family, it would have been absolutely impossible for you to cancel the engagement with a prince."
