At Feng Yuheng's command, Wang Chuan quickly brought the official back again, and this time he rushed directly into the hall and arrested Feng Jinyuan without any hesitation.
Feng Jinyuan was about to collapse, and shouted loudly: "I am your father! I am the head of the Feng family! If I die, what good will it do you?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head: "It's not good, but if you die, at least we can continue to live. But if you continue to live, we will all die with you."
Her words were a little awkward, but people could still understand them. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. If Feng Jinyuan really took Xiao Jing into the mansion, this matter would be exposed sooner or later, and then the Feng family would really have no way to explain themselves.
In this family, as things have developed to this point, there are actually few people who still stand on Feng Jinyuan's side. However, there is only one person, Fen Dai, who still cannot accept this matter and still feels sorry for her aunt. But when Feng Jinyuan is really taken away for punishment, the first thing she thinks of is her marriage. She is afraid that the marriage that she has finally agreed on will be invalidated, and she is even more afraid that without the Feng family as a backer, even if the fifth prince marries her, she will not be able to gain a foothold.
Thinking of this, Fendai quickly stepped forward and shouted, "No! You can't take my father away."
Feng Jinyuan was so moved that he almost cried. He had never favored this fourth daughter, and he had never even looked at her more than once since she was a child. But now, at this critical moment of life and death, only Fendai was willing to stand up and speak for her.
Fen Dai also had tears on her face, probably because she was scared. She turned her head and begged Feng Yu Heng: "Second sister, he is our father after all, please let him go?" Before Feng Yu Heng could answer, she said: "If Second sister doesn't let him go, then I will go find the Fifth Prince." As she spoke, her voice became sharper, and her eyes also burst out with extreme anger. Fen Dai stretched out her hand, pointed at Feng Yu Heng like her father Feng Jin Yuan, and questioned her with the same words: "What good will it do you if you take your father away?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Feng Yuheng, everyone else couldn't listen any more. An said, "Fourth Miss, Second Miss is saving us."
Xiang Rong also said: "It's not my second sister who asked for arrest, it's my father who committed a crime and the officials want to arrest him."
Fen Dai yelled again: "I want to find the Fifth Prince. I want him to come and plead for my father!" As she was about to go out, she heard Feng Yuheng's giggles coming from behind her again, which made her scalp numb.
"You can go find her." Feng Yuheng said, "This princess wants to see if the Fifth Prince dares to intervene in this matter, and also see if Jingzhao Yin dares to listen even if he intervenes." After saying that, he cast a cold look at Fendai, "Listen, if we let that woman in, it will be a matter of time before the whole Feng family is executed. But if this shameless father is gone, from now on, you are my sister, Princess Ji'an, and when you get married, your status will be much more precious than that of a concubine's daughter in the mansion of a fifth-rank university scholar."
Perhaps Fendai did not take the previous words to heart, but the last sentence was too tempting for her. She, who was originally determined to get help, stopped at once, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and there was even a hint of expectation.
Feng Jinyuan saw that the situation was not right, and quickly bewitched Fendai again: "As long as your father is alive, you will still be her sisters."
Fen Dai thought about it again, and felt that Feng Jinyuan was right. She hesitated for a moment, and then thought about it again, and simply discussed with Feng Yuheng: "Why don't we save our father and deal with the woman outside, isn't that enough?"
It is said that this is the best solution, but as soon as Fendai said this, Feng Jinyuan got furious and screamed "Ah" - "No! No one of you is allowed to touch her! If anyone dares to touch her, I... I..."
He kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. Feng Yuheng took over the conversation: "Even if you become a ghost, you won't let us go." She shrugged and suddenly felt very tired. When the old lady passed away, she had thought that as long as she didn't do anything too much, she would raise the original owner's grandmother and father until they were old and died, which would be considered a filial piety with this body. But the old lady was taken advantage of and died accidentally. Now looking at this father, she couldn't feel any sympathy. The tiredness was mental, which made her always have the urge to stab this person to death with a knife to put an end to it all, so that she would have no more worries in the future.
But there were so many eyes watching, she closed her eyes slightly, suppressed the thoughts in her heart, waved her hand, didn't want to say anything more, and only said to the leading officer: "Take him away quickly, this princess doesn't want to see him again."
The officers were all Xu Jingyuan's men, in other words, they were all Feng Yuheng's men. After hearing her words, they took Feng Jinyuan out without saying a word. No matter how Feng Jinyuan screamed and struggled, he was still taken out of the mansion.
Cheng Junman said coldly, "I will find someone to deal with the women in the other courtyard. You should all be alert. Don't let any word of this get out. Otherwise, even if my aunt pleads for mercy, it won't save the lives of everyone in our mansion."
The Feng family knew that if something was brought up over a thousand years ago, it would be considered treason, so they all nodded. Fendai even said, "It must be done cleanly and neatly. It's best to burn the body so that not a trace is left behind."
Cheng Junman glanced at her and frowned slightly. How could an eleven-year-old child have such a vicious mind? How did the Feng family raise their daughter?
Feng Yuheng did not stay in Feng Mansion for long. He took Zirui and Wangchuan Huangquan back to the Princess' Mansion. Xiangrong stayed to accompany An.
The Feng family was noisy for the whole afternoon, and the noise was so loud that even the princess's mansion could hear it. When Feng Yuheng returned to the mansion, he saw Yao sitting under a jujube tree in the front yard. A maid washed some fruit for her and placed it on the stone table, but she didn't even look at it. I don't know when Yao had a string of white jade prayer beads in her hand. If you ignore the purpose of this thing itself and just use it as a decoration, it is really beautiful.
But Feng Yuheng recognized that this rosary was the one that Yao Shi was twisting in her hand when she was chanting sutras for Old Lady Feng in the Buddhist temple that day. It was a gift from her. Yao Shi didn't have the habit of twisting beads while chanting sutras before. She just gave it to her to play with because she thought it was pretty. But now Yao Shi was holding it in her hand. As she twisted the beads, her face was filled with sorrow, and the servants in the yard also looked sad.
Feng Yuheng felt somewhat helpless, and with a low sigh, he walked closer to Yao and called out softly, "Mother."
Yao finally recovered her gaze from her unconscious state, and then looked at Feng Yuheng, and after a long while she said, "You're back?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, sat down on the stone bench opposite Yao, and casually took a pear from the fruit plate and handed it over: "Mother, eat more fruit. If you want to eat anything, just tell the servants, we can always get it."
As for Yao, Feng Yuheng clearly understood that she was defeated only by her face. Yao had a face that was almost identical to her mother's in her previous life, which always made Feng Yuheng's memory hazy, making her feel that she still had a way to miss her previous life in this world, which was good. Even though Yao had the deep-rooted traditional ideas of women of this era, and even though she was not close to her, as long as she could watch silently, it was a kind of comfort.
She put the pear in her hand forward again and handed it to him, "Mother, eat it."
Yao looked at the pear in her daughter's hand, and suddenly she felt sad, and her eyes were slightly moist and she couldn't control it. She turned her head away and raised her sleeve to wipe it. Just when Feng Yuheng thought that Yao must have felt that this scene was very warm and moved her to tears, she heard Yao say: "I never eat pears. I didn't eat them when I was in Feng Mansion before, and I still didn't eat them when I came to the northwest. Even if I was starving, I would not touch the wild pears my daughter picked from the mountains, because when I was pregnant with our Ah Heng, I almost got poisoned by eating pears once, and I never eat them again since then."
When she said this, she looked at Feng Yuheng calmly, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her. But these words made Feng Yuheng's heart "skip", and her heart panicked, her hands trembled, and the pear fell to the ground, and Zirui picked it up again.
She searched the original owner's memory in her mind, and after a while, she finally realized where her final flaw was. It wasn't her sudden change in personality, nor the martial arts and medical skills she learned from the Persian master, but such a small detail, a pear, that made Yao suspicious for so long.
She was wrong about this. After searching the original owner's memory, she found that there was indeed a part about Yao not eating pears. It was just too trivial and insignificant that she ignored it from the beginning. And this pear...
In her previous life, her mother loved to eat pears. After she passed away, her father would place three washed pears in front of her mother's photo in the living room every day, and pick new ones the next day. She never thought that Yao never ate pears, but she stubbornly believed that Yao would also like what her mother liked in her previous life. Even if she didn't like it that much, pears were indeed delicious fruits, and it was always a good thing to send her more.
Unfortunately, she did the wrong thing with good intentions, and this mistake made her completely at a loss as to how to explain it.
Yao's eyes did not move away, still looking at her, Feng Yuheng did not avoid it, just staring at her, but gradually read the sadness and unfamiliarity in Yao's eyes, and even a little bit of hidden resentment. She remembered that Yao had just said "my daughter", "our Ah Heng", which clearly meant that she no longer acknowledged her identity, but she just didn't say it completely.
This was the first time Feng Yuheng was defeated when staring into someone's eyes, and she was defeated so miserably. She turned her head away hastily, but she didn't know where to look.
At this time, Zirui wiped the pear in his hand on his clothes, and stubbornly put it in front of Yao again. Under Yao's puzzled eyes, he spoke, "Sister is sister, mother, why have you become like this? Sister treats us so well, why are you not satisfied? If it weren't for sister, we would still be in the willow garden of Feng Mansion, and we might have been killed long ago. Mother, think about the medicine that the eldest lady sent to me when I just returned to the mansion last year, and think about how we hid from the assassins all the way from the northwest to the capital. Think about these, what is there to be dissatisfied about."
Zirui's words made Yao a little excited. She pulled the child to her side and said uncontrollably - "She is not your sister!"
