A servant immediately ran out. Feng Jinyuan had already taken the change of clothes that the servant had brought. With the clothes in hand, she walked behind the screen with the help of Han. Feng Yuheng supported the old lady and said, "Grandma, please sit for a while." Then he told the servant, "Clean up the floor."
When Feng Jinyuan came out again, the study had finally returned to normal. Even Jin Zhen had put on her clothes and was standing in the corner with her head lowered.
However, no one noticed that Wangchuan, who had been following Feng Yuheng, had quietly left Song Garden at some point, leaving Qingyu alone to serve.
After a while, the two servants who had gone to the guest house came back with a medicine jar in their hands, but Doctor Xu and the maid who delivered the medicine were nowhere to be seen.
Feng Jinyuan frowned: "I asked you to bring people, where are they?"
One of the servants said, "Master, Doctor Xu and his maid are no longer in the mansion. I only found a medicine jar that had fallen on the floor, and I brought a maid who was doing laundry in the guest house."
The old lady said in a cold voice, "Bring it in."
The maid was brought into the house by the servants. When she saw so many masters sitting in the house, she was so scared that she knelt on the ground.
Feng Chenyu always acted like a bodhisattva in front of others, and this time was no exception. She said softly, "Don't be afraid, Ma'am. I just called you here to ask you something."
The old lady continued, "Where are Doctor Xu and his maid who originally lived in the guest house?"
The maid was so scared that she dared not raise her head. She replied tremblingly, "I am only responsible for washing. I rarely interact with Doctor Xu. About half an hour ago, I saw Doctor Xu and the girl hurriedly leaving the yard. I asked a question, but Doctor Xu just said he was going to see a doctor and didn't leave any other words."
After all, the guest doctor is a guest of the mansion, so the rules for him to enter and leave the mansion on weekdays are relatively relaxed. Hearing what the nanny said, the old lady knew that she couldn't ask anything more, so she waved her hand and let the person go.
Feng Yuheng took the initiative to walk up to the servant, took the medicine jar, looked through it carefully, and then got closer to smell it, and then said to everyone: "This is the jar for boiling the medicine."
Shen pretended to be angry: "That damn old bastard!" After saying that, she did not forget to glare at Jin Zhen.
Feng Yuheng continued: "Father can ask a doctor to test it again."
Feng Jinyuan waved his hand: "Father believes in you."
What if he didn't believe it? As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. It's better for fewer people to know about this kind of thing. He has already lost enough face today.
Feng Chenyu looked around at everyone and said with regret: "Doctor Xu must have fled for fear of punishment. It seems that mother was indeed wronged. It's just that we can't find the real culprit. Mother is really wronged!" As she spoke, her eyes became red.
At this time, Wang Chuan's voice was heard outside the door - "Miss, you are worrying too much. The doctor and the maids have all been chased back. Please examine the case carefully."
After he finished speaking, there were two plops, and a man and a woman were thrown into the house one after another. And Wangchuan, who was throwing people, looked as if he was carrying only two boxes of cakes, and did not show any sign of fatigue.
As soon as Doctor Xu and the maid appeared in the room, Feng Chenyu knew that something bad was going to happen.
At this moment, she finally realized that she had miscalculated. She knew that there were secret guards in the Feng Mansion, and she also calculated that Feng Jinyuan would never send secret guards to chase Doctor Xu. As long as Shen gave in on the matter of Jin Zhen, the matter would be over.
But she never expected that the girl next to Feng Yuheng knew martial arts.
Although Feng Chenyu is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, her only weakness is that she has never practiced martial arts. The Feng family only wants her to become a phoenix in the future, and they are devoted to teaching her how to be cunning. Martial arts are something that people like her cannot touch.
Sure enough, under the old lady's questioning and threats, Doctor Xu confessed everything - "It was the eldest lady who asked me to do it! She wanted to harm the second young master of the Feng family, so she asked me to boil that medicine and send it over. I beg the old lady to understand!"
Faced with witnesses, Shen was unable to defend herself, and the little maid was truly innocent. She had only done what Doctor Xu had ordered and didn't even know why she had to flee from the Feng family.
After the truth was revealed, Feng Jinyuan was furious. Although he had been ready to abandon Feng Zirui three years ago, the situation was different now. At that time, he had to abandon the siblings because of the burden of the Yao family. But now, Feng Yuheng had the support of the Prince Yu Mansion, and he had another consideration for the Yao family. If he was asked to abandon the child again, he really couldn't bear it. What's more, his Feng Mansion had only two male heirs so far!
Seeing Feng Jinyuan's mood change, Jin Zhen, who was shrinking in the corner, gritted his teeth and simply fought - "Master! Doctor Xu is right, all this was done by the first lady!"
As soon as Feng Jinyuan saw Jin Zhen talking, the past events of the two of them came to his mind again, and he began to feel conflicted.
Jin Zhen was Shen's maid. Although he didn't care much about what Shen had done over the years, it didn't mean he didn't know. Many bad things had happened at the hands of Jin Zhen. This girl's hands were not clean. But if he was asked to punish Jin Zhen as well, he really couldn't bear it.
Feng Jinyuan now hoped that Jin Zhen could be smarter and clear herself of all charges, so that he could keep her.
And Jin Zhen really lived up to expectations. When she spoke again, she not only cleared herself of all charges, but also became the person who did the meritorious service. "After I knew that the eldest lady was going to give the second young master that kind of medicine, I really rushed to Liuyuan desperately to get the medicine back! Second young lady! Please testify for me. I knelt down and begged you to return the medicine to me!"
Feng Yuheng narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, Miss Jin Zhen knelt down and begged me at that time." Then he turned to Feng Jinyuan: "But my daughter didn't know that this medicine was originally meant for Zirui to drink, and thought it was really sent to the wrong person, so she asked Miss Jin Zhen to give it to father."
Jin Zhen took over the conversation again: "I dare not tell the Madam about this, so I can only bite the bullet and follow Miss Wangchuan to Songyuan. I always thought that the Madam might be confused for a moment and would regret it later, so I didn't tell the master about it. And that medicine... If the master drinks that medicine and doesn't give it to others immediately... I'm afraid his life will be in danger, so..."
"It's hard for you." Seeing Jin Zhen say this, Feng Jinyuan quickly expressed his position and saved the person.
Shen was so angry that her lips turned blue. If Chenyu hadn't held her tightly, she would have rushed over and torn Jinzhen to pieces.
"Bitch!" She was so angry that she couldn't even stand up. Because she was too fat, Chenyu couldn't support her at all. Her legs shook, and both mother and daughter fell to the ground. "I'm going to kill you, bitch! And you!" She pointed at Feng Yuheng fiercely: "Damn it! You are the one who deserves to die the most! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Feng Yuheng pretended to be scared and backed away repeatedly, with a pleading look in her eyes: "Mother, mother, why are you doing this? Ah Heng did nothing wrong! Ah Heng doesn't fight for anything, Ah Heng doesn't want to be the legitimate daughter, and gives all the best in the mansion to big sister. Mother, why are you still pushing us to death like this?"
"Because your life is an eyesore to me!" Shen roared like a mad beast: "Feng Yuheng! Feng Zirui! Yao Qianrou! You all deserve to die!"
Feng Chenyu was really annoyed with Shen Shi at this moment. She thought about how many times she had worked hard to cultivate kindness and friendship, but it was destroyed by her mother. Her mother always cared about her own pleasure and never considered her when she did things or said anything. Now that her father was so angry, her mother was still like this. Wouldn't this ruin the future of them and her eldest brother who was still studying abroad?
"If mother says such things again, Chenyu will be powerless." She slowly let go of Shen, stood up again, and came to Feng Jinyuan's side. "Chenyu is not in a position to ask too much about the elders' affairs. I just hope that father can remember our old friendship and give mother a chance to live. Chenyu will not ask for anything else."
Feng Jinyuan nodded, looking at his most proud and satisfied daughter with pity, and his hatred for Shen Shi increased a little more.
"You are a vicious woman, selfish and self-centered. You treat concubine's daughter badly and poison concubine's son. You are also unwilling to think more about your own daughter. What use do I have for a mistress like you?"
"Master!" Shen was also dumbfounded. She didn't care about any of the charges, but she really cared about the fact that she didn't want to think about her own daughter. "How could I not wish Chen Yu well!"
"Is this how you do good for her?" Feng Jinyuan was so angry that he grabbed a tea bowl and threw it at Shen's head.
Shen was unable to dodge and the tea bowl hit her forehead, bleeding instantly.
"Shen." Feng Jinyuan's eyes were emotionless. "You are absolutely unworthy of being the mistress of my Feng family! Don't worry, no matter when, Chenyu is my Feng Jinyuan's legitimate daughter. No matter who sits on the position of mistress in the future, Chenyu will be that person's biological daughter."
"Master!" Shen was completely dumbfounded. "You want to give Chenyu to someone else to raise? No! Absolutely not!"
"Why not? It's a shame to have a mother like you!"
"But I won't harm my daughters!" Shen pointed at Feng Yuheng and said, "If the master says that I murdered them, fine, I admit it! But the master, you have to understand that no matter who becomes the mistress in the future, Chenyu's fate will be the same as theirs! No woman in the world can tolerate someone else's child climbing over her own child! Chenyu will die in the hands of the new mistress sooner or later, don't disbelieve it!"
The words were shouted in an extremely shrill voice, as if they were the accusations of an evil spirit crawling out of hell.
Feng Chenyu looked at Shen like this, and then thought about what she said, and her heart softened.
Mother is right! Although her father has promised her that she will always be the legitimate daughter, how much is her father's promise worth? Look at Yao, look at Feng Yuheng and Feng Zirui, their today is her tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Feng Chenyu bowed hastily to Feng Jinyuan, a few tears falling down her cheeks: "Father, please think twice! Mother is right, even if Chenyu is a legitimate daughter, so what? When a new mother enters the mansion in the future, I don't know how she will bully Chenyu. Chenyu is fourteen years old this year, and she can't stay at home for many years. Please, father, be kind to your daughter and let her live a stable life until she gets married."
She deliberately emphasized the word "marrying" in order to remind Feng Jinyuan of her future.
This reminder is also very useful. Feng Jinyuan may not want the Shen family, but he will never joke about Chenyu's life.
He turned his gaze to the old lady and saw her nod slightly. He knew that his mother's thoughts were the same as his.
The Feng family had no roots in the capital, and he was the first generation, so he definitely couldn't withstand any storms. So he wanted to be safe, and for the future of the Feng family, he would tolerate the Shen family for a few more years.
