Hearing that Duanmu Qing wanted to meet Feng Yuheng, Feng Jinyuan was in a headache. Who else could he meet, why did he have to meet that troublemaker? Besides, whether he met him or not, as a father, had no say in it!
He said helplessly to Duanmu Qing: "The deputy governor should also know something about the Feng family. Although she is my daughter, in fact, I really can't make any decisions about her. If you want to see her, I can send someone to pass on the message, but as for whether the person will come or not, that's hard to say."
After Feng Jinyuan finished speaking, he sent a servant to invite Feng Yuheng. The two continued to drink tea and chat. After waiting for an hour, just when Feng Jinyuan thought that Feng Yuheng would not come and Duanmu Qing's face became a little ugly, a servant finally came to report: "The second young lady is here."
Feng Jinyuan's body shuddered, and he subconsciously became a little nervous. He despised his natural reaction very much, and glanced at Duanmu Qing. Seeing that the other party didn't pay attention to him, he was relieved.
Not long after, Feng Yuheng walked into the hall, followed by the maid Wangchuan.
Duanmu Qing didn't stand up either. He just raised his chin slightly, half-squinted his eyes, and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Looking at Feng Yuheng again, he walked straight to the front of the hall without looking sideways. When he arrived in front of Feng Jinyuan, he smiled slightly and called out, "Father."
Feng Jinyuan nodded, "Ah Heng, Duanmu Qing, the deputy governor of the three provinces in the Northern Territory, wants to see you."
Feng Yuheng said nothing, but walked to the chair and sat down. Then he took the tea handed to him by the maid, took a sip, and then asked in doubt: "Oh?" Then he asked: "What about him?"
Feng Jinyuan suddenly wanted to burst out laughing, but Duanmu Qing, who was sitting opposite him, was really angry this time. He had heard a lot about Feng Yuheng's deeds before, especially after the news of Xuan Tianye's serious injury spread to the Northern Realm, he asked people to inquire about this Ji'an County Lord. Unfortunately, seeing is believing, and all the rumors could not give such an intuitive feeling. Duanmu Qing felt that when Feng Yuheng sat here, Feng Jinyuan's momentum as the prime minister was instantly suppressed.
But she is obviously just a thirteen-year-old girl with thin arms and legs. Where does she get such a strong aura?
Feng Jinyuan saw that the atmosphere was really awkward. According to Feng Yuheng's character, if he didn't introduce her, she would pretend not to see Duanmu Qing. He had no choice but to cough twice and stretched out his hand to Duanmu Qing, "This is the deputy governor Duanmu Qing."
Feng Yuheng then cast his gaze over, but he looked very carefully, examining it for a long time before saying "Oh", "Duanmu...what was it?"
Feng Jinyuan stroked his forehead, "Qing, Duanmu Qing."
She then nodded but did not say anything. Instead, she looked over there intently, as if waiting for something.
Duanmu Qing was the same, his eyes even carried a hint of coldness that came from the Northern Realm. The two of them just stared at each other, neither of them saying a word.
But Feng Yuheng was calm and composed, while Duanmu Qing was quite tense. The winner and loser were obvious from this comparison.
Feng Jinyuan felt that the situation could not be allowed to remain so tense, so he spoke again, saying to Feng Yuheng: "Ah Heng, the deputy governor is a guest from afar."
Feng Yuheng still didn't say anything, but Wang Chuan, who was standing behind her, replied: "Prime Minister Feng, no matter how far the road is, he is still a minister of Dashun. He is the deputy governor of the Northern Territory and a fourth-rank official. Why is he so ignorant of etiquette when meeting a second-rank county lady?"
Duanmu Qing finally made a move, but he snorted coldly and said to Wangchuan: "Since your county lady is so particular about etiquette, why is the maid beside her so rude? You have no official rank, do you have to kneel down and kowtow when you see me?"
How could Wang Chuan be afraid of him? He immediately said, "Servants follow their masters. Isn't there an ungrateful person standing behind the deputy governor?"
Wang Chuan's two sentences almost choked Duanmu Qing to death. When the two met, he had already lost face in the first round. He simply changed the subject and stopped talking about whether it was a courtesy or not. "I want to see the county lady, and I have a gift for her." As he spoke, he motioned to the follower behind him to hand over a wooden box in his hand. "I heard that the county lady is an excellent doctor. I wonder if you are satisfied with this gift from me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the attendant opened the wooden box in his hand. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the box, but no one expected that what they saw was a broken bone. The bone was broken into three pieces, and there were many fragments, the smallest of which was not even the size of a human fingernail.
Feng Jinyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Duanmu Qing with a somewhat resentful look. This guy, why did he do this when he was just proposing marriage? Isn't this just causing trouble for him for no reason? Also, where did these broken bones come from? From animals? Looking at Feng Yuheng's reaction, he felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the girl had no intention of getting angry. As long as she didn't get angry, everything could be discussed.
Feng Yuheng was somewhat prepared for this gift. Although she didn't expect it to be bones, at least Duanmu Qing couldn't have sent anything good. She looked at the bones curiously for a while, then reached into her sleeves, took out a pair of medical rubber gloves from the space, put them on carefully, and then reached out to the bones.
It was not until she held the bone in her hand and examined it carefully that Duanmu Qing had to truly look at this girl with new eyes.
This is really a special woman. Children of the same age would not be scared to scream when seeing such a thing, but they would avoid it as much as possible and would never get close to it or even take it in their hands to look at it. It is said that doctors are brave, and it seems to make sense.
"The bone is calcified, and it broke due to sudden external force. The broken part is exactly the joint. The whole kneecap is destructively damaged. There is no cure." She held the bone in her hand and said slowly while looking at it. Then she threw the bone into the box, took off her gloves and threw it to Wangchuan: "Burn it after you go back." Then she said to Duanmu Qing: "This is human bone, your Highness?" After saying that, she took another look at the bone and actually chuckled, "There are still three large bones. I think this county lady still showed mercy at the beginning."
The gift did not achieve the expected effect, and Duanmu Qing was already a little embarrassed, but Feng Yuheng hadn't finished speaking, "I heard that you invited the ghost doctor Song Kang to the capital? This county lady has also heard about the ghost doctor's medical skills. Now that the bone has been taken out, could it be that he wants to replace a new bone for the Third Prince?" She laughed while talking, and suddenly stopped laughing, then stared at Duanmu Qing and said word by word: "Don't waste your energy, it's impossible. This county lady has prepared a gift for him, and will personally deliver it to the Prince Xiang's Mansion tomorrow. At that time, I will ask the deputy governor to discuss whether the gift sent by this county lady is more practical, or the new bone replaced by the ghost doctor is more practical."
Duanmu Qing's face turned pale. He stood up suddenly and said reluctantly, "Then I'll be waiting for you." Then he clasped his fists towards Feng Jinyuan and left.
Feng Jinyuan felt relieved when he saw Duanmu Qing leave. He was really afraid that the two would fight here, and it would be troublesome if he didn't know who to help.
Feng Yuheng also turned back to look at Feng Jinyuan at this time. She was still sitting quietly on the chair. She asked the maid to change the tea in her hand. When she brought it to her, she smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated father yet, but a new mistress has been chosen. Four mistresses in four years, father, this is the first time in the history of the Dashun Dynasty. I heard that the storytellers in the teahouse outside are talking about this strange story!"
These words made Feng Jinyuan feel very embarrassed, but the hatred that had been rising since the Qianzhou people rebelled and assassinated came back. He pointed at Feng Yuheng and said with gritted teeth: "It's all your fault! Tell me, to what extent do you want to harm the Feng family? If it's just to avenge the three years, now, it should be enough!"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Yuheng turned hostile instantly, and without thinking, he threw the teacup in his hand at Feng Jinyuan's head. If he hadn't dodged quickly, his head would have been smashed to pieces.
"What are you going to do?"
Feng Yuheng's eyes stood up: "I want to make you sober! Don't be shameless. If it weren't for me, you would have been finished with Kang Yi and Qian Zhou! I never thought of harming the Feng family. There are some things I don't want to say anymore, but you force me to mention it again and again. Feng Jinyuan, I must remind you again that from the northwest to the capital, I arranged for the coachman to rob and kill us halfway, and after returning, I treated us harshly and allowed the Shen family to kill us many times. As a father, what qualifications do you have to speak in front of me? Calling you father is just a title, don't take yourself too seriously. Feng Jinyuan, I tell you, guard your mouth, your heart and your actions, only then can you guard the lives of the old and young of the Feng family. I repeat the same words again and again, but you just don't remember. This time I tell you, if you don't remember, don't blame me for taking the lives of this family!"
Feng Jinyuan's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered what Feng Yuheng said when he beat the girl to death at the gate of Song Garden, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.
Yes, why doesn't he learn his lesson? His daughter has already fallen out with him, and she knows everything he has done. She may even have strong evidence in her hands. Yet he still dares to act tough in front of her. Is he crazy?
As he spoke, Feng Yuheng had already stood up and seemed ready to leave, but before he left, he said, "I will go to Prince Xiang's mansion tomorrow to return the gift. You prepare Feng Chenyu's engagement letter and I will take it with me."
Feng Jinyuan was startled again, and subconsciously wanted to ask her how she knew about Duanmu Qing sending the engagement letter, but then he realized that this Feng Mansion was no longer under his control, and there must be Feng Yuheng's spies all around him. There was no way he could hide what this girl wanted to know from her.
"I need to think about this matter again." Feng Jinyuan was unwilling to be controlled by his daughter, so he said this in a calm voice.
But Feng Yuheng said, "Consider it? It's not up to you. I think this marriage is good, so let's do it. Someone—" She suddenly shouted, and a servant immediately ran in from outside the door. "Go prepare the engagement letter for the eldest lady, and send it to the county lady's mansion after it's ready."
The servant was a little confused, and subconsciously looked at Feng Jinyuan. Feng Jinyuan was so angry that his hair almost stood up. He pointed at Feng Yuheng and said loudly: "Who has the final say in this family?"
Feng Yuheng turned around and said to him seriously and directly: "I."
