"Well." Feng Jinyuan waved his hand, "Ms. Shen, I will let you stay in this position for a few more years, but you will no longer be able to manage the Feng Mansion's household expenses. You will hand over the household expenses to mother, and from today on, you will stay in Jinyuyuan to reflect on your mistakes, and you are not allowed to come out without my permission."
Shen looked unwilling and shook her head repeatedly.
If she handed over the household expenses, wouldn't that be the same as asking for her life?
Chenyu quickly reminded him, "Mother, please think more about Chenyu."
With just one sentence, all of Shen's resentment was suppressed.
This daughter is her future and her biggest bet. She can lose her family fortune but she cannot afford to lose this daughter.
"In addition." Feng Jinyuan spoke again, "Jin Zhen has done a great job in protecting her master, so she is promoted to concubine and granted Ruyiyuan."
Ruyi Courtyard is a small courtyard in the mansion. An Shi lived there for a while before, and then moved to a larger courtyard after giving birth to Xiangrong. Ruyi Courtyard is quite standard, well decorated, with rockery and pond, and beautiful scenery.
When Jin Zhen heard Feng Jinyuan's arrangement, she finally felt relieved and quickly knelt on the ground to kowtow and express her gratitude.
The old lady noticed a bloodstain on the back of her skirt, and her anger eased a little. Her son was the prime minister, and there were only one wife and three concubines in the mansion, which was not much, not to mention that Yao was just brought back, and there were only two male children, which was too few. If Jin Zhen could do well and add a big fat boy to the Feng family, it would not be in vain for all the efforts today.
The old lady's gaze was caught by Jin Zhen, and she felt relieved. Fortunately, Feng Jinyuan was in a state of madness caused by drugs at that time, and did not notice the fact that she was not a virgin, nor did he find the shoes she hid in her sleeve pocket. Afterwards, she was smart and used a hairpin to cut her forearm and smeared the blood on her dress. The cut wound could also be denied by saying that it was a punishment from Shen.
Everyone had made arrangements, leaving only Doctor Xu and the girl kneeling in the middle. Feng Jinyuan had no place to vent his anger, and looking at the two of them at this moment, he couldn't help but transfer all his anger to them.
"Secret guards!" he roared, "Kill!"
With just one command, a figure appeared in the air and disappeared in a flash.
Looking at the two men again, they had their heads cut off.
All the women in the room screamed, and even Feng Yuheng pretended to scream twice. But only Han stared at the body of Doctor Xu, feeling a sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Feng Jinyuan waved his hand, and immediately a servant came in to carry the body away. Another person cleaned the floor in just a few moments. There was no sign of a murder in the room, but the stench of blood could not be covered up no matter what.
Chenyu covered her mouth and vomited. Shen stared at the empty space that no one wanted to step on, feeling a little scared.
This was the first time that the Feng family had seen such a scene. Feng Jinyuan had never let the secret guards show up in front of people, and would not let his family get involved in bloodshed. But today, he was angry and just wanted to vent his anger, so he didn't care about so many things. But he thought about it again, this is good, whether it is Shen's side or Feng Yuheng's side, it is also a deterrent. His wife is difficult to manage, and his second daughter is probably even more difficult to manage.
"Ah Heng." After finishing the work, Feng Jinyuan felt that it was a bit unreasonable not to care about his sick second son, so he said quickly: "I will send someone outside to ask a doctor to treat Zirui. You and your aunt don't have to worry too much."
Feng Yuheng sneered in his heart. The matter was handled in such a messy way just because of a Chenyu. It can be seen how ambitious his father is.
Of course, the Feng family is unkind and she is unjust, so this is the best way.
She shook her head, "Father, that's not necessary. Zirui's illness has improved a lot, and Ah Heng is a half-doctor himself, so he can still treat this minor illness. After what happened, Ah Heng is really scared and dare not hand his brother over to outsiders. Please allow Ah Heng to treat his brother personally. I will go to Baicaotang to get the necessary herbs."
When she mentioned the herbal medicine, Shen, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly became alert again and asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing at the Herb Hall?"
Feng Yuheng was slightly stunned, then replied: "Of course I'm going to get the herbs!"
"Baicaotang doesn't have any herbs for you to get!"
Feng Yuheng tilted his head to think for a moment, then asked Xiang Feng Jinyuan: "Isn't Baicaotang the dowry shop of Aunt Yao? How come there are no herbs for me to take? Aunt Yao said that the shop is the dowry left for me in the future. When we lived in the mountains before, we couldn't take care of the capital. Now that we are back, we have to manage it well."
Shen shouted, "You wish! What dowry? That's the Feng family's property. When did it become your dowry?" She had been in charge of the household affairs of the mansion for so many years, and had already taken over the several shops of Yao that the old lady had seized. Now asking her to give it up would be like asking for her life.
But Feng Yuheng didn't care about that. "Mother may have remembered it wrongly. Baicaotang was indeed the dowry given by the Yao family to Aunt Yao, and Aunt Yao was also planning to use these shops to buy more dowry for Ah Heng. It doesn't matter if mother doesn't remember it. The government has the land deeds on record. Just check and you will know whether it is the Feng family's property." As she spoke, her face turned cold, and she looked at the old lady who had just taken charge of the household again: "Grandmother said that she was managing a few shops on behalf of Aunt Yao. I wonder if grandma lost the land deeds and made mother misunderstand that it was the Feng family's property. Wangchuan!" She turned around and asked, "What if the land deeds are lost?"
Wangchuan told everyone: "If the land deed at home is lost, you can go to the government to check the background, and then apply for a new one after the investigation."
Feng Yuheng nodded: "Then let's go tomorrow. I haven't been in the mansion for these years and I don't have time to take care of those shops. Grandma, thank you for your trouble." In this matter, she only negotiated with the old lady and ignored Shen. "Grandma has taken great pains to take care of Baicaotang over the years. Ah Heng will remember your kindness."
The old lady opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer. It was true that she had withheld Yao's dowry back then, because those shops were too coveted by the Feng family at that time! Now the Feng family has more or less established itself, although it was largely due to the support of the Shen family, but the original Yao family still made an indelible contribution. Now Feng Yuheng came to ask for those shops, although she felt a little distressed, she couldn't say no. What's more, Feng Yuheng and Wang Chuan were in cahoots with each other. If they really went to the government to investigate the background, where would the Feng family put their face?
"How could the land deed be lost? Shen, please look for it again." The old lady said.
Shen was particularly unhappy, especially when Old Lady Feng kept calling her Shen, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"I'm your daughter-in-law. Why do you always say such unkind things to me, old lady?" She was angry and deliberately changed the subject.
"Then what do you want me to call you?" The old lady leaned on her staff, "If you want me to call you my wife, then act like a mistress! In what way do you deserve the title of mistress of the Feng family?"
"At least I gave birth to Chenyu!" Shen was particularly proud of this point, "No matter what time it is, I am Chenyu's biological mother."
She used these words to shut the old lady up, and the old lady had nothing to say, so she could only remind her again: "Go find those deeds tomorrow. I'll give you two days. Once you find them, return them to Ah Heng immediately."
"Are you confused, old lady? When a woman marries into her husband's family, her dowry should of course be kept by her husband's family. How can it be handed over to the government and then asked for back?" Shen glared at Feng Yuheng: "There is no manners at all!"
Feng Yuheng's face darkened and he looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Mother, what you mean is that when a woman marries into her husband's family, she has to hand over the shop?"
"right!"
"Okay. Wangchuan!" She called Wangchuan again, "Go and invite Jingzhao Yin to the mansion. If the Feng family doesn't have enough face, ask Madam Zhou from Prince Yu's mansion to invite Jingzhao Yin to the Feng mansion. Tell them that the old lady, the first lady, and all the concubines of the Feng family are willing to hand over their dowries to the Feng family's public office. From now on, they belong to the Feng family and have nothing to do with them personally. Please ask Jingzhao Yin to come to the mansion to change the name of the land deeds held by the elders."
Wangchuan bowed and said, "Yes, I'll go right away." After saying that, she turned and left.
"Wait!" The old lady spoke. She didn't dare to look at Wangchuan, and she didn't dare to treat Wangchuan as a maid in Feng Mansion who could be beaten and scolded at will. She always spoke with a bit of politeness and vigilance, "Wangchuan girl, wait a moment."
Not only was the old lady panicking, but Shen's face also turned pale. She didn't expect that she would get herself into trouble after going around in circles.
An also interjected, saying to Feng Jinyuan: "When I entered the mansion, my family agreed with the master that the dowry shop would never be handed over to the Feng Mansion, but I would run it myself, and give it to my children in the future. Master, you have agreed to all this, why is the eldest lady forcing me so hard today?" An said, putting all the blame on Shen. "Besides, according to the Dashun system, if a woman has a dowry shop after marriage, she can run it by herself, and the income will belong to the land deed holder alone. The husband's family cannot interfere with the woman's operation of the dowry shop. This rule was set by the emperor."
When talking about the emperor, An looked at Feng Yuheng, reminding her that you can win this battle.
Feng Yuheng nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude to An.
But Shen shouted again, "I didn't say that we should hand in ours, and I didn't say that the name on the deed should be changed."
Feng Yuheng's eyes suddenly lit up, a cold light flashed in them, and he stared straight at Shen, frightening Shen so much that she took several steps back.
"You, what are you going to do?"
Feng Yuheng felt that she was really giving this fat pig too much face, but this fat pig was shameless.
very good.
"You mean only Aunt Yao's should be handed over, and you guys don't have to hand over?" He looked around, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, "How can that make sense? Wangchuan! Go ask Jingzhao Yin to hand over all the private shops owned by the women in this mansion to me, no one can keep them for themselves!" He looked at the old lady again, his expression softened a little, "Grandma, since mother wants it, you can hand it over."
Feng Yuheng's words successfully incited the old lady's anger. She glared at Shen and raised her scepter to stab her fiercely: "You want my shop? Huh? You said you want my shop?"
Wang Chuan was also very good at playing along, and asked, "Then what about those new land deeds you got, Miss?"
Feng Yuheng said, "Those were given by His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Since mother wants them, I think I can't keep them. Let's change the name this time, just change it to Feng's." She glared at Shen again, "Oh, no, it should be changed to Shen's, because father and grandmother didn't say anything, it was mother who wanted these shops herself, and all the land deeds in the hands of the women in our Feng Mansion should be changed to Shen's."
