Wang Chuan did not want to embarrass her, so he answered for her: "My lord, this is what happened. Last night, the Second Young Master suddenly fell ill, and this morning the First Madam sent a guest doctor from the mansion to see him. The guest doctor wrote the prescription, personally prepared the medicine, and asked the little girl to deliver it to Liuyuan. But Miss Jinzhen came and said that the wrong medicine was delivered. This bowl of medicine was the tonic that the First Madam stewed for the Master. The Second Miss thought about not delaying the Master's tonic, so she quickly asked this servant and Miss Jinzhen to deliver it together."
Feng Jinyuan nodded, so that's how it was, and then he reprimanded Jin Zhen: "How can you be so careless? Go back and get punished by your wife." However, he acted as if he hadn't heard what Wang Chuan said about Feng Zirui's illness, and didn't ask or mention it at all.
Wang Chuan sneered in his heart, and sighed that the Feng Mansion was indeed weak in family affection. Although the second young master was a bastard, he should have been favored when there were only two sons in the Feng Mansion. Feng Jinyuan, as a father, actually had such an attitude, which was really disheartening.
"Bring it up." Feng Jinyuan waved his hand, Wang Chuan stood up and stepped forward, placing the bowl of medicine on the table.
Feng Jinyuan was obviously used to drinking all kinds of supplements sent by his first and second wives, so he thought this was just like any other drink, and drank it without even looking at it.
Jin Zhen subconsciously called out, "Master—" Feng Jinyuan was stunned, then he put the bowl heavily on the table and scolded, "You are becoming more and more unruly!"
Wang Chuan took a few steps back and leaned towards Feng Jinyuan: "I think Miss Jin Zhen must have something to say to the master, so I will withdraw first."
Feng Jinyuan groaned. If Jin Zhen had something to say, it meant that Shen Shi had something to say. He really had no love for this mistress. The reason why he still kept her position as the mistress was nothing more than that the Feng family still needed the money of the Shen family to make ends meet, and also to keep a legitimate daughter for his Chenyu.
Feng Jinyuan waved at Wangchuan, "Go down!"
Wang Chuan bowed and retreated, with a cunning look in his eyes. He didn't forget to close the door even after he got outside.
The servant guarding outside saw her coming out alone, looked inside and asked, "Is Miss Jin Zhen still in there?"
Wang Chuan replied: "I think Miss Jin Zhen has something to say to the master. It should be the eldest lady's instructions."
The servant was unaware of it and led Wangchuan away.
While delivering the medicine, Feng Yuheng and Qingyu also walked towards Shuya Garden.
Before leaving the house, she picked out a Hetian mutton-fat jade ring and some plaster for treating lumbar disc herniation that she brought from the pharmacy.
She knew that although this jade ring was precious, it was not hard to find in the world. The old lady would definitely like it, but it would not achieve the best effect of winning her over. However, these plasters from the 21st century were really hard to find in the world for her back disease.
But the reason why Feng Yuheng chose to go to Shuya Garden to deliver the gift at this time was that she had already said in front of Shen in the morning that this gift must be delivered. Another reason was the ultimate purpose of her trip.
"Have you found out everything?" she asked Qingyu beside her.
Qingyu nodded, "Don't worry, Miss, the first lady is indeed in Shuya Garden right now. And not only the first lady, but also the third and fourth concubines and the three young ladies are here too."
"Very good." She sneered, straightened the corners of her unwrinkled clothes, and when she looked up again, she had arrived at Shuya Garden.
At this time, Shuya Garden was bustling with activity. From a distance, Shen's loud laughter could be heard. She said as she laughed, "If the old lady likes it, I will ask my third brother to find a piece of mutton-fat jade. It is said that this thing is presented to the palace as a tribute every year. If we can get a piece of it and make a ring for the old lady, it will be so elegant to wear!"
The old lady also responded with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble."
Feng Yuheng rolled her eyes. It seemed that this old lady really had no stance. To put it bluntly, whoever gave her milk was her mother, and she would side with whoever gave her good things.
This was just right. She squeezed the wooden box containing the ring in her hand and a smile appeared on her face.
"Hey! Who is this?" Shen's voice was like a roundabout way, and it sounded even more charming than Han's. After all, she was a concubine, and she could never let go of her unpresentable skills. Unfortunately, this person can only be heard by the voice, and the face cannot be seen. "Isn't this Ah Heng? What do you think I should call you? Princess Yu?"
Shen was in a very good mood today. Feng Yuheng thought that she probably thought that Feng Zirui had already drunk the bowl of medicine successfully, so she was waiting to see the show.
If a little kid like Zirui drank a bowl of medicine, he would be dead, let alone such a shameful medicine. If Zirui got sick, not only would he be seriously injured, but he would also be traumatized for the rest of his life.
Feng Yuheng ignored Shen Shi and walked forward leisurely, bowing to the old lady: "Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother."
Shen's sharp voice came again: "Why are you paying respects? It's already past the time for paying respects. If you want to do that, why didn't you come earlier?"
Feng Yuheng pretended to be surprised: "Didn't mother go to Liuyuan this morning? Zirui is sick, and mother asked Ah Heng and Aunt Yao to take good care of him. You will take care of Grandmother here."
Shen's voice was hoarse. Everyone knew that she went to Liuyuan. If she denied Feng Yuheng's words at this moment, it would mean that she didn't care about her illegitimate child. She knew that one of them was sick, but she didn't let Feng Yuheng and Yao stay to take care of him.
But she really didn't say that!
Shen was unwilling to give up and opened her mouth to speak again, but Chenyu took over the conversation: "Mother has been thinking about brother Rui's illness, and was afraid that grandmother would get anxious and angry after hearing it, so she didn't dare to say it. I hope second sister won't blame you."
In one sentence, Feng Yuheng was accused of something that made the old lady anxious and angry.
Feng Yuheng was unmoved, and only smiled apologetically at the old lady, "It was Ah Heng who neglected it."
How could the old lady still look at Feng Yuheng like she did yesterday? She now wished that the grandparents and grandchildren could be friendly and that Feng Yuheng would smile at her more.
"It's okay, it's okay. Ah Heng, don't blame yourself." Then he waved his hand, "Come and sit in front of grandma."
Seeing the old lady extending her hand, Feng Yuheng took two steps forward, placed her small hand on the old lady's hand, and then sat down on the soft stool at her feet. After waiting for a while, the old lady did not ask a single question about Zirui's condition.
Perhaps because she saw Feng Yuheng's bad complexion, An Shi was very perceptive. How could she not understand that Feng Yuheng was heartbroken? She simply took the initiative to ask, "Second Miss, is the Second Young Master's illness getting better?"
Seeing An's question, the old lady felt embarrassed and asked, "How is Zirui? Is he serious? Have you called a doctor?"
Feng Chenyu also asked with great concern: "The guest doctors in the mansion are all very skilled. Have you ever invited them, second sister?"
Feng Yuheng wanted to hear them say "Doctor". She raised her head slightly and glanced at Han, who seemed to be fiddling with her fingernails, but was actually a little nervous. Shen rolled her eyes and sneered at the corners of her lips.
Feng Yuheng also sneered, then said: "Grandma, I have seen a doctor." Then he looked at Chenyu: "It was Doctor Xu who my mother took to Liuyuan this morning."
When she heard the name of Doctor Xu, Chenyu's face darkened slightly. Others could not see the problem, but Feng Yuheng could see it.
Even Han paused in fiddling with her nails, and Shen also quieted down, wanting to hear whether Feng Zirui had drunk the medicine.
It seemed like everyone was waiting for Feng Yuheng to continue talking, but she refused to do so. She suddenly changed the subject and handed the small wooden box in her hand to the old lady: "What a coincidence. When I just entered the yard, I heard my mother talking about finding a piece of mutton-fat white jade to make a ring for grandma. I think grandma is destined to wear mutton-fat white jade. Look--"
She opened the box, and everyone stretched their necks to look over here, and saw a crystal white jade ring lying quietly in the small wooden box. The jade was delicate and moist without any flaws, and at first glance it looked extremely warm, just like the fat of a freshly cut sheep, and the luster was just like condensed oil.
The old lady's eyes began to shine, and she reached out to the thing in the box with a trembling hand, but Feng Yuheng took it up first.
The old lady was startled, and then she saw Feng Yuheng respectfully put the jade ring on her thumb.
"It's so beautiful!" Fen Dai exclaimed, "I have never seen such perfect jade."
Xiangrong also nodded and whispered, "I'm afraid the mutton-fat jade presented to the palace every year is not as good as this one, right?"
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Feng Yuheng handed the wooden box in his hand to Aunt Zhao, then took the old lady's hand and said, "As long as grandma likes it, it's worth it that Ah Heng thought about helping grandma pick a gift early in the morning."
The old lady now felt that it was a wise decision to bring her granddaughter back from the mountains in the northwest. She patted Feng Yuheng's hands again and again, trying her best to make her remember her kindness: "I was not happy to send you away in the first place, and I have complained about it to your father over the years. Finally, your father took you back to enjoy his old age."
Feng Yuheng almost burst out laughing. This old lady is really amazing! She threw her son away just to be nice. Isn't this just saying "Originally your father didn't want to take you back, but he did it for my sake".
She covered her mouth with her hands to stifle a laugh, and after a while she said, "Yes, Ah Heng will definitely remember your great kindness, grandmother." As she spoke, she took out the plaster that she had prepared in advance from her sleeve. Immediately, the hall was filled with the unique medicinal fragrance of the plaster.
Shen covered her nose and said in annoyance, "What is that? It smells weird! Throw it away!"
Feng Yuheng looked at Shen in embarrassment: "But... this is a plaster for my grandmother's back pain!"
The old lady stared at Shen fiercely, "Do you not want me to treat your illness? Or do you expect that one day I will be unable to stand up due to back pain, and you will be the only one who has the final say in this mansion?"
Seeing the old lady was angry, Feng Chenyu quickly picked up her job again: "It's better to be cautious with medicines. Mother is worried about grandma." As she spoke, she asked Feng Yuheng: "Where did the second sister get these plasters? Have you been out of the house?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head: "I haven't left the house since I came back. These were given to me by a Persian eccentric who I met by chance in the mountains of the northwest. They are very precious and are the best medicine for my grandmother's back disease."
"In that case, grandma might as well give it a try." Feng Chenyu finally put out the anger and quickly changed the subject to let the old lady see the doctor first.
The old lady groaned and ignored Shen, but she became interested in the plaster in Feng Yuheng's hand. She sniffed again and found that the smell was not as pungent as when she first took it out. After smelling it for a long time, she felt a little cool.
