Generally speaking, newborns are yellow in color, and it is usually difficult to tell whether they are black or white. However, if the skin color is too dark, you can still see some clues.
Feng Jinyuan was now staring at the newborn baby boy in the midwife's hands. The more he looked, the more he frowned. After Feng Yuheng came out, he asked her directly, "Is this the child born to Han?"
Feng Yuheng laughed, "Why, you don't even recognize your own son?"
Feng Jinyuan waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. I meant, why is this child so dark?"
Feng Yuheng had long been mentally prepared for the question of whether the child was black or white, even before the child was born.
In the severe winter, Han was so bold as to borrow a seed, but she didn't know that the Boss Yue in the opera troupe usually wore a lot of white paint, but underneath the white putty was a black fetus. It was just that he usually wore a lot of white paint when he was on stage, and even when he was off the stage, he would not take off all the makeup, and he was used to applying several layers of thick powder in his daily life. Because he was an actor, people didn't think it was strange. After years of wearing a mask, Han had no idea what kind of person Boss Yue was, whether he was black or white, loyal or treacherous.
Of course, he is not extremely dark, but compared to the average person, his skin color is indeed darker. However, Feng Jinyuan is fair and clean, a typical pale-faced scholar, and Han is also a beauty with a rosy complexion. If they were to get together, unless there was a genetic mutation, they would never give birth to a black child.
But things are unpredictable, and an actor came into the picture.
Feng Yuheng had asked someone to investigate long before she took in Xiangrong who had been rescued from the drowning. The actor's appearance had not escaped Ban Zou's eyes. So she had been waiting and gambling, betting that there was a 50% chance that the child looked like his father, and first dealt a fundamental blow to Feng Jinyuan.
Now, everything is as she wished. She gave birth to a dark child. Although he looks good, he doesn't look like Feng Jinyuan at all. Feng Jinyuan frowned and looked at the child with all kinds of entanglements. He asked Feng Yuheng what the reason was. Feng Yuheng didn't answer properly, but instead became confused with him: "Yes, it's really strange. Father and Aunt Han are both white-skinned people. Why is this brother so dark?" While speaking, he glanced at An, and then said: "This is really strange. My daughter has been studying medicine since she was a child, and I have never heard of two white-skinned people giving birth to a black child."
An understood what Feng Yuheng meant and realized that this was Feng Yuheng creating an opportunity for her, so she immediately helped out: "Not only is it dark, look at the child's eyes, why are they so small? The master and sister Han both have big eyes, but this child was born with double standard phoenix eyes, it's really strange."
After An said this, everyone's eyes turned to the child's eyes again. At this glance, the child really had a pair of phoenix eyes, which were long and thin, with the phoenix hooks tilted outwards, and the eyes slightly extended to near the temples. It was good-looking, but it was really not similar to Feng Jinyuan and Han.
Fendai was a little panicked. She didn't know why she was panicking. She almost subconsciously rushed forward, pushed through the crowd, hugged the child in her arms, and protected him tightly. At the same time, she shouted, "No one is allowed to touch my brother! What nonsense are you talking about? The child is so young, how can he tell black from white or his appearance? An, don't spread rumors to confuse the crowd, otherwise your father will not let you go!"
An looked a little scared, took two steps back and looked at Feng Jinyuan: "This child is born black, but the master said so!"
Feng Jinyuan groaned, looked at the child, then looked at Fendai. Just as he was about to say something, Fendai said, "My daughter has already sent someone to notify Prince Li's Mansion. I believe that the Fifth Prince will send someone to deliver a gift tomorrow morning."
Feng Jinyuan didn't really care whether to send a gift or not, but he understood what Fendai said. It was a reminder to him that the Fifth Prince was behind him. As long as Feng Fendai recognized the child, the Feng family would have to recognize him as well. Now he was a person with no status, not as good as a future queen who was engaged to the current prince.
Feng Jinyuan felt cold in his heart, but he still said, "Fen Dai is right. This child has just been born. What can we see?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "Indeed. But right now there is something I want to ask my father about how to deal with."
"Hmm?" Feng Jinyuan frowned, his intuition told him that the things Feng Yuheng mentioned were definitely not good things. But since she said this in front of everyone, he had to ask, so he could only ask her: "What is it?"
Feng Yuheng pointed at the child in Fendai's arms and said, "The midwife and the doctor mentioned before that Aunt Han's child was not born full-term, but we counted from the day my father left Beijing at the end of last year to now, the child is actually full-term."
Feng Jinyuan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the midwife had indeed said something about premature birth. At that time, he was only thinking about whether the child could be born smoothly, and he had forgotten about this matter. Now that Feng Yuheng mentioned this, he remembered it again, so he quickly asked again: "What do you mean by this?"
Feng Yuheng shrugged: "I personally don't mean anything, but when I came here today, I saw a man at the gate of the mansion looking in furtively. I caught him and asked him about it. He actually confessed that he was the doctor who diagnosed Han Yimian's pulse. Not only was he responsible for diagnosing Han Yimian's pulse, he also gave Han Yimian a medicine to induce labor a few days ago..."
"Shut up!" Fen Dai suddenly yelled again, even more excited than before. If she hadn't been holding the child in her arms, she would have rushed over to fight with Feng Yu Heng. Even with the child, she couldn't control her legs and feet, and in a hurry she raised her foot to kick Feng Yu Heng.
Feng Jinyuan was smart this time. He raised his hand to block Fendai's kick, staring at her and shouting angrily, "What are you doing? How disgraceful!"
Fen Dai was furious and shouted, "Father, didn't you hear her spitting blood? What's wrong with me kicking her? I am also the prince's principal wife, and she is also the prince's principal wife. From the perspective of the princes, she will have to call me sister-in-law in the future. What's wrong with me kicking her?"
At this moment, Feng Jinyuan really wanted to go to Prince Li's mansion to ask, how did the Fifth Prince fall in love with this idiot girl? And he insisted on marrying her, not only dismissing all the women in the mansion, but now even promising her the position of the principal wife, why is this?
Everyone looked at Fendai as if she were an idiot. Cheng Junmei was so angry that she giggled for a while, then suddenly stopped and said in a cold voice: "Fourth Miss, don't forget that your so-called sister-in-law is a first-rank princess personally appointed by the emperor. She has a mansion and a fiefdom. She earned it bit by bit through her own hard work. Where do you get the confidence to kick her?"
Fen Dai's face turned pale. Of course she understood this principle, but even if she understood it, she didn't know how it would turn out if she didn't force herself to say it. At this point, no matter how stupid she was, she could figure out that there was something fishy about Han's child. But others could say this, but she couldn't. She had to find a chance to ask Han about it before making any plans.
Fendai, who was holding the child, was trembling a little, not knowing whether she was angry or scared. She didn't dare to look at Feng Yuheng's eyes, dodging, and her guilty look was noticed by Feng Jinyuan.
Feng Yuheng raised her lips, looking as if it had nothing to do with her. When she spoke again, she was blaming Fendai for not knowing what was good for her: "This princess just wanted to vent her anger for Aunt Han. After all, someone actually dared to drug the women of the Feng family. This matter is not a joke and must be investigated. Otherwise, the one who harmed Han yesterday will be the child in Fourth Sister's arms tomorrow."
Cheng Junman immediately took over the conversation: "That's right, the Feng family will never tolerate this." After saying that, she half turned her head and said to the maid beside her: "Go, take the person captured by the second young lady to the government office to report to the authorities, and say that someone poisoned the female members of the Feng family."
The servant didn't even look at Feng Jinyuan, he just agreed and left. Feng Jinyuan didn't want to make a big deal about this, but since Cheng Junman had spoken, he knew that he couldn't stop her. He vaguely felt that there was probably something going on, and it was something good. He felt irritated, and the more he looked at the child, the more uncomfortable he felt. He simply gave up and was about to leave. But just as he raised his foot and before he could land, his left wrist was suddenly grabbed by a hand like an iron clamp. It was cold and ruthless, and it was so tight that it almost broke his wrist bone.
Feng Jinyuan was startled and turned around abruptly to see Feng Yuheng staring at him, saying, "Father, I saved your child and the woman's life. Let's go to the study and settle the chips for today."
Feng Jinyuan thought of the previous incident, and he wanted to deny it, but Feng Yuheng had already dragged him out. The weather was a little chilly as Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. When the wind blew, he had a slight headache.
The new mansion was very small, and Feng Jinyuan's academy could not be as grand as the old Songyuan. The area of the courtyard was reduced by more than half, and there was only one room.
It was Feng Yuheng's first time here, but the servant who led the way did not dare to neglect it at all. He led people to the door, then stretched out his hand and pushed it. After Feng Yuheng pulled Feng Jinyuan in, he closed the door again. Huang Quan stood at the door with her arms folded in front of her. The servant glanced at her, lowered his head and left.
Feng Yuheng, who had just entered the house, let go of Feng Jinyuan's wrist, and sat down on the chair, saying, "Since you won't tell me, let me guess. Father, the eldest princess of Qianzhou, Kang Yi, deliberately married into the Feng Mansion. It's not just to conspire with you to push the third prince to the throne and then take back the three provinces of the Northern Boundary, right?"
Feng Jinyuan shuddered but said nothing.
Feng Yuheng continued, "Kang Yi can't marry here by herself, so she gave you a maid, and she won't be kept in the mansion. This is equivalent to Qian Zhou's double insurance with you. If Kang Yi gets into trouble, at least there is Xiao Jing. If Xiao Jing gets into trouble, Kang Yi will know in advance. In this way, Xiao Jing is definitely not an ordinary maid, but let's not talk about her identity for now. Father, I just want to ask you one question, do you have... something that Qian Zhou wants?"
