Feng Yuheng snorted coldly and said sternly, "You mean, the others will just let you cheat them?"
The shopkeeper shuddered and dared not say another word. [This website has changed its domain name..first letter, previously registered accounts can still be used]
Feng Jinyuan finally understood, and concluded in one sentence: the fat pig in his backyard had caused trouble for the Feng family again. And it was a big trouble!
"Evil woman!" The old lady was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She kept hitting the ground with her staff and ordered the servants: "Go and bring that evil woman out to me! Bring her out!"
Feng Jinyuan did not stop him. The Ninth Prince was clearly here to settle accounts. The Feng Mansion was in the wrong today, so he had to endure whatever the other party wanted. Moreover...
"Your Highness just said that the 'Picture of Green Mountains' was to be given to Concubine Yun?" He was greatly shocked, thinking that if it was really sent to the palace, the matter would become a big deal.
At this moment, Feng Jinyuan hoped that the Ninth Prince would shake his head and say that it had not been sent in yet, but some things just couldn't go as he wished. Xuan Tianming not only didn't shake his head, but also told him very confidently: "It was sent in that day. It was my mother who discovered that the "Green Mountain Picture" was a fake and questioned why I sent her a fake. Lord Feng, how do you think I should respond to my mother's words?"
What else could Feng Jinyuan say? Although Concubine Yun had been living in seclusion for so many years and had not attended many palace banquets, this did not mean that the emperor did not care about her, nor did it mean that she had no status in the palace.
Feng Jinyuan lifted his robe and knelt on the ground - "It's up to His Majesty the Prince to decide."
The others all knelt down as well.
Feng Yuheng thought about it and decided that he couldn't be too independent, so he knelt down as well.
Just as he was about to bend his knees, his hand was held tightly by the man, "You don't have to kneel."
Feng Yuheng was very satisfied with Xuan Tianming's attitude and nodded approvingly at him.
Feng Fendai's jealousy burned fiercely in her chest. Why wasn't it her? Why wasn't it her hand that was held by the Ninth Prince?
Soon, Shen was invited out.
Shen, who had been confined in Jinyu Courtyard, was furious today because a group of people suddenly broke in and said they wanted to search her and Chenyu's house, saying that they were plotting to murder the eldest young master. She beat two maids, but still failed to stop the servants from finding the voodoo doll under Chenyu's pillow.
She was so angry that she wanted to smash things, but she couldn't bear to break anything. Just when she was feeling uncomfortable, someone came and asked her to go to the front yard.
Shen felt that she finally had a way out. The Feng family dared to lock her up, so she had to make this family a mess! She wanted to see how long Feng Jinyuan could last without the financial support of the Shen family!
Shen, who had gathered enough energy to attack, came to the front yard and saw a group of people kneeling on the ground, including Feng Jinyuan.
In front of everyone, there was a jade sedan chair placed in the middle of the courtyard, and on it sat a person whom she had never seen before but recognized at a glance - the Ninth Prince.
Shen was a little unsteady on her feet, so she helped the maid beside her. Then she turned her eyes and was surprised to see that the owner of Qibaozhai was also lying on the ground.
She realized that things might not be going well, but she couldn't avoid the situation even if she wanted to, so she knelt down as well, trembling as she didn't even know how to greet him. In her heart, she was unconsciously calculating how much such a large jade sedan chair would cost.
Feng Jinyuan stood up and walked to Shen, grabbing her collar, intending to pick her up and throw her out. But Shen was too heavy, and he couldn't lift her up after several attempts, so he had to drag her instead.
Shen couldn't bear this. She howled loudly and pulled her collar desperately to avoid being strangled.
Finally, Feng Jinyuan dragged Shen to Xuan Tianming, knelt on the ground again, and said the same words: "Let Your Highness deal with it."
"What are you going to punish?" Shen was confused. "Me? Why are you going to punish me?"
"Shut up!" Feng Jinyuan scolded Shen: "You swapped the things in Qibaozhai and sold them to others as authentic ones. Now a painting of "Green Mountain" has been sent to Concubine Yun in the palace. Do you think you should deal with it?"
"This..." Shen was dumbfounded. How could the things from Qibaozhai flow into the palace? She thought that the nobles in the palace would look down on the things sold in the small shops outside!
"Someone come!" Xuan Tianming didn't want to waste any more words with Shen, so he just gestured to the servant, "Take her away. Follow me into the palace."
"Your Highness!" Feng Jinyuan and the old lady said "Your Highness" in unison, and then the old lady said, "Your Highness, please show mercy and forgive her this time. My Feng family is willing to double the compensation for your loss."
Feng Jinyuan also said: "I'm afraid this kind of evil woman will pollute the eyes of Concubine Yun. I hope Your Highness can deal with her outside the palace."
Shen Shi couldn't be allowed to enter the palace. Feng Jinyuan knew that once Shen Shi entered the palace, she, the mistress of the house, would no longer be able to protect her. It didn't matter whether she could protect her or not. The key was Chen Yu. Without the status of a legitimate daughter, how could she fulfill the phrase "Phoenix's fate"? Therefore, he would rather Xuan Tianming kill Shen Shi outside the palace than bring her into the palace. In this way, at least Feng Chen Yu was still a legitimate daughter whose mother had died in name.
When Shen heard the old lady talking about compensation, she immediately perked up and said, "Yes, yes, yes! We will compensate, we will compensate you in full! We will give you as much silver as Your Highness wants, Your Highness, just name your price!"
Bang!
Xuan Tianming whipped Shen without any warning or hesitation. The whip landed slightly on Shen's right cheek, and the skin and flesh were immediately torn apart, and blood splattered all over his face.
"Ah!" Shen covered her face and screamed, rolling on the ground in pain.
Chenyu rushed forward and hugged Shen, unwillingly raising her stunningly beautiful face, begging bitterly: "Your Highness, please forgive my mother!"
Xuan Tianming didn't even look at Feng Chenyu, he just turned his head and spoke to Feng Yuheng: "You have to eat well, if you want to eat something, ask the maid to go to the palace to get it, I will ask the kitchen to prepare delicious food for you every day."
Feng Yuheng was helpless: "I eat very well."
"Too thin." He sniffed and glanced at Shen, "But it's no wonder, she ate all the obviously delicious food." Without waiting for Feng Yuheng to answer, he asked again: "Are you going out today?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Since something happened to Qibaozhai, now that it's back in my hands, I have to go take a look."
"Okay." Xuan Tianming did not stop him, "Then be careful." He reached out and rubbed her head, praising her, "Your hair is really smooth, you have to take good care of it."
These words made Feng Jinyuan's solar plexus begin to beat again.
"Alright." Xuan Tianming finally signaled his servants to lift up his sedan again, "Take the eldest lady of the Feng family and go to the palace." Seeing Feng Jinyuan still begging for mercy, his expression froze, "Lord Feng, does this king look like someone who is easy to talk to?"
Feng Jinyuan dared not say a word anymore.
"Oh, right." Xuan Tianming remembered something again, "I met Hengheng on the street yesterday. I heard that she was checking the account books of several shops. I couldn't bear to let the future princess work too hard, so I brought the housekeeper here today and asked the housekeeper to help Hengheng check together."
Feng Jinyuan is in infinite collapse!
The housekeeper of the Prince's Palace! Who doesn't know that the housekeeper of the Prince's Palace is actually a big eunuch! And he is not an ordinary eunuch! He grew up serving the current emperor, and was appointed by the emperor to serve the Ninth Prince in the palace until the Ninth Prince established his own palace!
Although he was a prime minister, he had to look at the eunuch's eyes for many years and he still felt scared when he thought about it now.
But he couldn't refuse, because he was told that they were sent to help the future princess, and he had no right to refuse.
Xuan Tianming left just like that, under the confused gazes of everyone in Feng Mansion, with Shen, who had been tied up and gagged. Before leaving, he glanced at Feng Chenyu and said, "So ugly."
The people in Feng Mansion became even more confused.
Even after Xuan Tianming had been gone for quite a while, the group of people still did not think of standing up and remained kneeling on the spot.
The eunuch who stayed behind had already taken the food box that was going to be given to Feng Yuheng and was holding it in his hand. At this moment, he glanced at the group kneeling in front of him, and said naturally without changing his expression or breathing, "Everyone, stand up!"
Once the eunuch's unique voice and accent were used, everyone naturally obeyed.
The youngest, Feng Zirui, quietly tugged at the corner of Yao's clothes and asked in a low voice, "That prince likes my sister, right? He treats my sister differently from others."
Yao nodded, "Yes."
Zi Rui became happy: "That's great, that prince is so powerful, no one will bully my sister anymore."
Yao sighed, how could it be possible? She was afraid that the more this happened, the more people would regard her Ah Heng as a thorn in their side.
But then again, she felt relieved to see with her own eyes the Ninth Prince's attitude towards Ah Heng. She only hoped that this prince could protect her Ah Heng for the rest of his life.
Feng Jinyuan walked up to the eunuch and said, "Eunuch Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"
The eunuch was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied calmly: "Thank you, Lord Feng, for your concern. Everything is fine in my family."
"Please come in, eunuch. This is your first time at the Feng Mansion. I will host a banquet tonight to welcome you."
"Hey!" Eunuch Zhang waved his hand, "That's not necessary. We are here on the orders of the prince to help the future princess check the accounts. It's better for us to go and serve the princess."
The old lady was unhappy when she heard this, and kept calling her Princess. Feng Yuheng hasn't married yet, so why isn't she called Second Miss?
But no matter how unwilling she was, she didn't dare to say anything in front of the eunuch. The look of Shen being taken away was still vivid in her mind, and she had to think carefully about what the Feng family would do next.
Seeing that Eunuch Zhang refused, Feng Jinyuan no longer insisted and only warned Feng Yuheng: "Don't neglect Eunuch Zhang."
Feng Yuheng nodded: "Don't worry, father." Then he said to the old lady: "Ah Heng will go to Qibaozhai to check it out later, ask for leave from grandma."
How could the old lady not be accurate? Not only had she to be accurate, but she had to be very happy with it. So she quickly put on a smile and said kindly, "Go ahead, go ahead, and remember to count everything inside."
"Yes." Feng Yuheng said, "Ah Heng will count out the things that have been exchanged, and will also try to count the counterfeits that have been sold over the years. I hope that grandmother can help Ah Heng ask mother for an explanation when the time comes."
The old lady nodded awkwardly, "Okay."
Feng Yuheng leaned forward, called Yao and Zirui, and then took the maid and eunuch Zhang back to Tongshengxuan.
Feng Jinyuan watched the group of people gradually walk away, feeling deeply moved. Once upon a time, those people were his wife and legitimate sons and daughters!
The old lady also sighed and said helplessly: "The Feng family is going to be ruined by the Shen family!". ..
