Lu Yao didn't know what she was thinking. She knew that Feng Yuheng had returned to the capital, and she also thought that Feng Yuheng might come to the Feng Mansion today. However, as the daughter-in-law of the Yao family, she thought that she had lowered her posture and came to "apologize". Even if she met Princess Ji'an, the other party would not embarrass her.
But she never expected that Feng Yuheng would have such an attitude as soon as he appeared.
Seeing a woman in a water-red floor-length dress walking quickly from the crowd, Lu Yao's mouth twitched a little. Feng Yuheng walked with a breeze, even though she couldn't take big steps in the floor-length dress, but her momentum was there, and at a glance, people felt that the air around them seemed to be frozen, and the early autumn weather seemed to be covered with frost.
The grievance in Xiangrong's heart reached its limit the moment he saw Feng Yuheng. He trotted two steps and rushed over directly, shouting with tears in his eyes: "Second sister."
Feng Yuheng sighed in his heart, and patted Xiangrong gently with his hand, "Don't be afraid, the second sister is back." Then he looked at Lu Yao who was standing there in a daze, and asked in confusion: "The second lady of the Zuo Xiangfu, when she saw this princess, why didn't she bow?"
Lu Yao broke out in a cold sweat and quickly knelt on the ground, saying in a trembling voice: "I, Lu Yao, pay my respects to Princess Ji'an!"
The people around also reacted and knelt down one after another, shouting in unison: "Knock to the Princess Ji'an."
Feng Yuheng didn't even look at those unruly people. He pulled Xiangrong to Lu Yao and asked her with his head down, "Did you hear what I asked just now?"
Lu Yao was startled, and then she thought about the question Feng Yuheng had just asked, "What are you thinking about?" She thought about it in her heart for a while, and then said, "I was thinking about...help." She was a little unable to continue. She had said before that she wanted to give Xiangrong a big red envelope, which seemed to have some alms in it, but now in front of Feng Yuheng, she felt guilty.
Feng Yuheng asked Xiangrong in confusion: "Is the pocket money that Second Sister left for you when she left not enough?"
Xiangrong shook his head, "It's enough. I still haven't spent more than half of it."
"Is Aunt An's embroidery shop in need of an embroiderer? Have you ever helped with embroidery before?"
"No." Xiangrong shook his head again. "The embroiderers in the shop are all invited from Jiangnan. Their skills are first-rate. Not to mention compared with the embroidery workshops in the palace, they are also among the best in the capital. My skills can't compare with theirs, and my family doesn't allow us to show our faces in public, so I have never touched the work in the shop. This time, Miss Lu insisted that I must embroider, otherwise our shop would not be able to operate in the capital, so I had no choice but to take this job."
Feng Yuheng simply heard the funniest joke in the world, "My sister opened a shop, but whether it can continue to operate is up to you, the second daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, to decide. Who gave you this right?"
Lu Yao waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I didn't say such a thing, I really didn't say that!"
Xiangrong pointed at the maid beside her and said, "The clerk from the embroidery shop brought you, a maid, to my house that day and said it to me in person."
Without saying anything, Lu Yao slapped the maid in the face: "How dare you! Who told you to talk like that?"
The girl looked aggrieved. She looked at Lu Yao again and realized that her mistress was trying to push her out. She gritted her teeth and kowtowed to Xiang Rong: "Third Miss, please spare me. This is all nonsense from my servant. It really has nothing to do with my mistress! Please spare me, Third Miss!"
As she spoke, she tried to grab Xiangrong's skirt. Xiangrong frowned and took a half step back, saying angrily, "Who said I wanted to kill you? Why are you talking nonsense?"
Lu Yao glared at the maid and said again in a stern voice: "Miss Feng San is so magnanimous, why don't you thank her!"
The girl kowtowed again.
Feng Yuheng looked at the two of them, as if time had returned to the past, to the days of the Feng family's chaos. She had fought her way through that environment step by step, and had been involved in conspiracies and plots every day. So many people died in that house fight, and she knew how terrible it was. Now looking at Lu Yao, she couldn't imagine what would happen if such a person married into the Yao family. How could such a beautiful Yao family be allowed to bring disaster to her?
Seeing Feng Yuheng's eyes gradually turn cold, Lu Yao's fear grew stronger. Her father, Lu Song, finally took the position of the left prime minister. The sense of superiority that the Lu family had just gained, which was second to none, suddenly disappeared in front of Feng Yuheng. She was unwilling to accept it, but she also knew that she couldn't afford to offend the man in front of her. Not only could she not afford to offend him, but even if the entire Lu family was devoted, it would not be possible.
She rolled her eyes, and her biggest support was brought up. She said to Feng Yuheng: "Princess, this matter is really a misunderstanding. I was kind-hearted at first. Really, it was this girl who didn't know how to speak that made the Third Miss angry. Please forgive me for the fact that we will soon become relatives!"
It would have been fine if she didn't mention relatives. As soon as she mentioned them, Feng Yuheng became even angrier. When she was about to explode with anger, she remembered the little bit of expectation on Yao Shu's face when he mentioned Lu Yao last night.
She sighed softly, and for the sake of Yao Shu, she would do it. However, this marriage... "This princess is related to the royal family. Speaking of which, Princess Wuyang has to call me sister-in-law. Why don't you just ask her to embroider your wedding dress? Do you only bully my sister because she is weak? Lu Yao, don't really think that being the left prime minister is a big position. Think about the Feng family. As children, you should not hold your father back in your words and deeds."
After she finished speaking, she turned to the people who were still kneeling on the ground with their heads down and dared not say a word, and snorted angrily, "It only took a while for you to knock on the door and invite people, and you were able to quickly surround the door of the Feng Mansion. It's so early in the morning, you are not slow!"
More than half of the people shuddered.
Feng Yuheng's face became even darker, and he continued, "You've been waiting here for a long time, right? Everyone spoke the lines clearly, but this princess wants to ask you, the left prime minister of the Feng family is gone, but have you all forgotten that this is this princess's family? This princess hasn't even married yet, and there are people who gather to cause trouble and bully the Feng family. Tell me, what crime should be punished?"
At this time, the housekeeper He Zhong, who had been standing at the door of Feng Mansion, couldn't help but say, "Of course it's a capital crime! And it will bring disaster to the entire clan."
The people were so scared that they were paralyzed, and they kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy. Feng Yuheng didn't say anything, just looked at them coldly. Under the pressure of this gaze, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "It was that girl who gave us money to come here to speak for the second lady of the Lu family!"
After hearing this shout, Lu Yao was so frightened that his face turned pale and he sat down on the ground. The same thing happened to the girl, who curled up into a ball and cried in fear.
When one person told the truth, the others no longer concealed it, and one by one they pointed out that the girl was the original owner who gave them the silver. For a moment, the conspiracy of the second daughter of the Lu family, Lu Yao, was exposed to everyone, and those people who came to watch the fun instead of taking the money also joined in the accusation and cursed the master and servant.
Feng Yuheng raised his hand to suppress the voices of the people, then turned around and said to He Zhong: "Call the servants at home and send this girl to the government office for me. The crime is... framing the official's relatives. Remember to tell Jingzhao Yin Xu to tell the left prime minister's mansion that this princess ordered the girl to be sent. If the Lu family has any objections, let them come and tell this princess."
He Zhong felt relieved after hearing this, so he quickly nodded in agreement, and then ordered his servants to do it immediately.
When the girl was being escorted away, she kept shouting, "Miss, save me!" But her mistress couldn't save herself, so how could she save her?
The common people were still kneeling on the ground waiting for their fate. Feng Yuheng told them, "Whether you are a person or doing something, you should rely on your conscience. Money can only solve the problem temporarily, but it can never change the root cause. This princess may not pursue the matter today, but you must remember that I am a vengeful person. If there is a next time, I don't mind leaving a place for you in the death row of the Beijing government office! Get up and go!"
The people were so frightened that they quickly got up and ran away. Some people even cursed at Lu Yao, making Lu Yao so angry that his face turned pale and blue. His vicious eyes finally rose quietly and shot towards Feng Yuheng from time to time.
Feng Yuheng didn't care, she just asked Xiangrong, "You too, if you don't want to embroider, then don't embroider. You embroidered a good Shu brocade into a duck. Forget it--" She turned her head and said to Huang Quan, "I'll pick a few pieces of higher quality Shu brocade from the Princess's Mansion and send them to the Lu family, and say that this is the compensation given by this Princess on behalf of my sister."
Huang Quan nodded in agreement, but Xiang Rong sighed helplessly and told Feng Yuheng: "That was not embroidered by me at all. Miss Lu was unreasonable and threatened me to be her embroiderer. The Fourth Prince knew about it. Those two ducks were embroidered by the Fourth Prince."
"Ah?" Feng Yuheng was delighted when she heard this, "Xuan Tianyi? Has he really learned how to embroider?"
"Yes." Xiangrong nodded. "I've been learning for almost a year, and I can embroider quite well. But I didn't expect that he would embroider two ducks on the wedding dress." She got angry when she thought about it, and she couldn't help stamping her feet and said, "Don't worry, second sister, I've scolded him, he won't dare to do it again."
Feng Yuheng rubbed Xiangrong's head and laughed, "Our Xiangrong can now take care of someone."
The two sisters were talking on the side, and Lu Yao, who was slumped on the ground, felt her heart twitch when she heard it. Was that duck embroidered by the Fourth Prince? I heard that the Fourth Prince had been detained in the Prince Ping's mansion and was not allowed to go out. Although he had lost his throne, he was just an ordinary commoner now. But that was the blood of the royal family after all! How dare Feng Xiangrong scold the royal bloodline?
Lu Yao gradually realized that he had made a big mistake, and the Lu family had also made a big mistake. They were all wrong about the positioning of the Feng family.
With the fall of Feng Jinyuan, the Feng family only lost the fame and fortune of the left prime minister, but Feng Yuheng's position as a princess was based on real military merit, and the ninth prince was said to have returned to the capital...
"Lv Yao." Just as she was lost in thought, Feng Yuheng's voice brought her back to reality. She heard the other party say, "Get up. Don't you want to seek justice for those two ducks? This princess will take you to the Prince Ping's Mansion to settle accounts with the Fourth Prince."
