Chapter 436: Can this kind of thing be called father?



[Ran^Wen^Bookstore][].[774][buy].[]

Feng Jinyuan left the flower hall, and when he came back, he brought a land deed with him. He handed the land deed to Zhang Yuan, who took it and looked at it, and then handed another land deed to Feng Jinyuan. "Master Feng, keep it. This matter is over. The rainstorm has not stopped. The emperor said that the Feng family can stay here for a few more days and move when the rain is less severe."

The Feng family thanked the emperor for this "grace" and watched Zhang Yuan leave the Feng residence in a proud manner under the emperor's imperial umbrella. Fendai said casually, "How can a eunuch feel more powerful than the prince?"

The old lady glared at her and said, "The mouth is the source of all trouble! Shut your mouth!"

Fendai was so frightened that she dared not say anything more.

Cheng Junman glanced at Feng Jinyuan and saw his flustered expression. The paper deed was clenched into a ball in his hand, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force. She raised the corner of her lips and said, "Master, keep the deed safe and don't damage it."

Feng Jinyuan finally reacted and quickly smoothed out the deed, then said to the old lady: "Don't think about anything right now, just wait until the rain stops before we can think about it."

The old lady nodded. She knew that she couldn't do anything if the rain didn't stop, so she had to urge everyone to continue eating. However, Feng Jinyuan had his own ideas...

The next day, Xuan Tianming left the county lord's mansion after breakfast and headed straight to the palace with Ban Zou. Feng Yuheng stayed in bed for a while, and just as she was about to get up, Wang Chuan came in and told her, "Master Feng is here."

She frowned: "What are you doing here again?"

Wang Chuan said, "The news from the Madam is that during dinner yesterday evening, Eunuch Zhang came to the Feng Mansion and exchanged the land deed with Lord Feng."

"Exchange?" Feng Yuheng frowned, "Where did he get the land deed to exchange?"

Wang Chuan shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but the eldest lady did say that Lord Feng used the Feng Mansion's title deed to exchange with Eunuch Zhang for a new house in the southwest."

Feng Yuheng pondered for a while, still muttering to himself: "Could it be that they made a fake one to deceive people?" Then he stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

When she arrived, Feng Jinyuan had been sitting in the outer hall for a while. When he saw Feng Yuheng coming out, the inexplicable anger in his heart surged up again. He looked at this daughter from left to right and couldn't stand her. His words were full of thorns - "Don't you see what time it is? You've just woken up. You really have no manners!"

Feng Yuheng shrugged, walked to the main seat and sat down, drinking tea and saying, "I'm in my own house, I can get up whenever I want, if you don't like it, just leave."

Feng Jinyuan was so angry that he pounded the table, pointed at Feng Yuheng and said, "You haven't even gotten married yet, but you've already let your man stay in your house. You've brought shame to the Feng family!"

"Oh!" Feng Yuheng laughed immediately, "Does the Feng family still have the face to let me embarrass myself? Feng Chenyu's loss of virginity before marriage has become a laughing stock in the whole city. How big is your Feng family's face? Have you not embarrass yourself enough? Can you still leave some for me?" The more she talked, the funnier it became. "If you really think it's not good for Xuan Tianming to live here, then go to Prince Yu's Mansion and tell him, or go to the palace to meet the emperor and have a good talk with father about this matter... Oh, by the way, sorry, I forgot, you can't enter and leave the palace at will now, Grand Scholar Feng."

Feng Jinyuan didn't even have the energy to be angry now. He just looked at Feng Yuheng resignedly. Suddenly, he realized that he couldn't even raise his head in front of this daughter. Her words, a smile, or even a casual action could defeat him. If the Feng family wanted to survive now, they still had to rely on this daughter.

But he was still a little unwilling, he stared at Feng Yuheng and asked: "Now, you don't even want to call me father?"

Feng Yuheng stopped smiling, and her eyes turned colder as she looked at him. "Father." She murmured, not calling him, but thinking about something. After a while, she finally said, "I don't seem to understand what the definition of a father is. Everyone says that a father is the sky of his children, making decisions for them, and striving for a good life and future for them. But my father is wholeheartedly trying every possible way to take my life, and he also defended other people who tried to murder me and my brother. Can such a person be called a father?"

Feng Jinyuan's face flushed with heat. Feng Yuheng's words were like a knife, slashing at his face fiercely. He couldn't hide or avoid it, so he could only endure it. Who made him do all these things? Who made him fail to see the situation clearly at the beginning? He didn't expect that after three years in the northwest, his daughter's temperament would change drastically and she would have such an adventure.

"Ah Heng." He finally remembered the purpose of coming here today, and also remembered that he was here to ask for help, and he must not make the relationship with Feng Yuheng awkward before the matter was even said. So he coughed twice, ignored the previous topic, and said shamelessly: "Father... I, I came here today to discuss something with you."

"Oh?" Feng Yuheng squinted at him, "Discuss with me?"

Feng Jinyuan waved his hand, "No, I have something to ask you." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "This is the title deed of the Feng family's new house. I want to ask you, can you use this to exchange the previous one in the Feng Mansion?"

Wang Chuan took the deed from his hand and handed it to Feng Yuheng. She lowered her head to look at it, then raised her head again after just one glance, and then looked at Feng Jinyuan with a very puzzled look: "Do you think that if you are stupid, others will be stupid too?"

"Hmm?" Feng Jinyuan was stunned. "What do you mean by that?"

Feng Yuheng raised the paper in her hand, "The size of this new house is less than 10% of the current Feng Mansion, and the location is incomparable to this place. It is estimated that the value can reach 20% of the old house. What are you thinking of using such a broken thing to exchange for the deed in my hand? And--" She asked Feng Jinyuan in confusion: "I heard that you exchanged this thing for the deed of the old house, I am surprised, the deed of the old house is clearly in my hand, what is yours?"

Feng Jinyuan's face was not looking good, and he waved his hand, "It's none of your business. Today I am here to ask you for help. Please help me this time, considering that I gave birth to you and raised you." He knew he was in the wrong and couldn't even say the word "father".

Feng Yuheng still shook his head, "I was born after my mother carried me for ten months, and I was raised by a Persian master in the mountains of the northwest. As for the Feng family's kindness in raising me in the past few years, I have said that I have paid back your favor by protecting the Feng family from the two incidents of Qian Zhou and Chen Yu. Don't mention anything else."

Feng Jinyuan knew that his attempt to exchange the land deed would most likely fail, but he just wanted to try his luck. What if it worked? But in the end, the result was still the same. He shook his head helplessly and said nothing more. He took the land deed back from Feng Yuheng and said, "Forget it. If you don't want to, I'll think of another way." After that, he put the land deed in his arms and hurried out of the outer hall.

Watching him leave in the rain, Feng Yuheng rolled his eyes and ordered Wang Chuan: "Take my badge and go to the palace to find Eunuch Zhang. Ask him to carefully check the things Feng Jinyuan gave him yesterday. Eighty percent of them are... fake."

The rainstorm continued for two days, but it still didn't clear up. Feng Yuheng asked Huang Quan to go to the farm in the suburbs. Fortunately, the house in the farm was solid and didn't leak. The children hid in the house and didn't dare to come out. The vegetables they planted on weekdays were stored in the cellar, so they didn't have to worry about food and drink.

Ban Zou took several secret guards to escort the Qianzhou people to the northern border under the banner of escort. Xuan Tianming agreed with them to take action after leaving Beijing for a hundred miles, which was also an explanation to Qianzhou that they had to accept. After all, it was not the right time for Dashun to attack Qianzhou, and Qianzhou had no ability to take the initiative to attack Dashun. This matter was full of loopholes, but Qianzhou had no courage to pursue it, nor did it have the strength to pursue it, which freed up more time for Dashun to make steel.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the celestial phenomena day and night, but everyone frowned, and finally came to the conclusion: a natural disaster.

With the Xuantian Dark Tiger Talisman in hand, the garrison troops from all over the country were mobilized to fight against the flood, but with little effect. Feng Yuheng knew that as long as the rain continued, the flood could not be resisted. Floods were very difficult to deal with in the 21st century. Even if helicopters were dispatched to rescue people, countless lives would still be swept away by the flood, not to mention in ancient times when human and material resources were scarce. Everything could only wait for the rain to stop. Even if she was Feng Yuheng, she was helpless in the face of such a natural disaster.

In the past two days, a strange phenomenon has occurred in Feng Mansion. Feng Jinyuan has actually begun to let all courtyards benefit equally. He even went to the courtyards of the Cheng sisters in one day, and went to the courtyards of An and Jin Zhen in the morning and afternoon on the second day, and sat with Han in the evening.

The old lady was a little worried and kept asking Aunt Zhao, "Can Jin Yuan bear all this?"

Nanny Zhao also didn't understand what was wrong with Feng Jinyuan. The eldest lady had just passed away, and he had been demoted. There was also a natural disaster with heavy rain. Everyone was about to be driven out of the mansion. How could he still have the leisure to pamper his wife and concubine at this critical moment, and even do it several times a day? This was not right!

But after thinking about it again, she figured out a reason. She said to the old lady, "Maybe there have been a lot of accidents at home recently, and the master is feeling depressed and has to find a place to vent."

The old lady groaned, "He is depressed? He is the one who caused all the trouble, why should he be depressed? Alas!" She sighed, "After we move, there will not be such a big yard, and some of the servants in the mansion will have to be dismissed. You can do these things."

Nanny Zhao agreed immediately.

The wives and concubines at home were confused about Feng Jinyuan's unusual behavior. Jin Zhen and Han were very happy, especially Jin Zhen. She was able to receive Feng Jinyuan's favor again, and she simply used all her skills to serve him. At the same time, she was praying silently in her heart, hoping that her belly would be more motivated and she would have a boy in one fell swoop.

Even after Feng Jinyuan left, Jin Zhen still couldn't calm down, so she asked Manxi to dress her up nicely in anticipation of Feng Jinyuan's return. But Manxi told her in confusion: "It's strange, how come there seem to be a lot of things missing from the jewelry box? The pair of jade bracelets are gone, and the gold hairpin is also missing."

At the same time, Han was also rummaging through boxes and drawers looking for the 1,000 taels of silver notes she had saved privately.

Cheng Junman and Cheng Junmei were also sitting together, and Cheng Junmei asked, "Sister, how much silver do you think he can steal from this round?"
