Feng Jinyuan was helpless to see that Fen Dai and Feng Yuheng were both unwilling to give in. He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Although the Feng family now relied on the Fifth Prince to survive, compared to Feng Yuheng's long-term pressure, at this time, he still chose to persuade Fen Dai to give in. oM. -.79s.-
He cleared his throat and said to Fendai, "Your second sister just came back. As a younger sister, don't say anything unpleasant. You are not a child anymore. You should know what to say and what not to say;"
Fendai looked at Feng Jinyuan coldly, with only disappointment in her eyes. She finally understood that she had the final say in the family for nearly a year, and even her father had been polite to her, all because Feng Yuheng was not at home. Once the second sister came back, the wind direction would change immediately. Even though the Feng family still lived in the house given by the Fifth Prince, even though the Feng family still had to take the pocket money sent by the Fifth Prince every month, even though Feng Jinyuan still wanted to get a job through the Fifth Prince, in front of Feng Yuheng, this father had no momentum at all, and could quickly suppress her.
"Hmph." She snorted coldly, "Father, what you said is very good. Since my sister is here, why should my sister support the family? My sister is also engaged to the prince, why should my sister's fiancé give up his house to live in? Father, please don't make me feel so unfair."
Feng Jinyuan was most afraid that Fendai would use this to stop him, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.
Feng Yuheng looked at Fendai in surprise, and then asked Xiang Feng Jinyuan, "Father, wasn't this house the betrothal gift that the Fifth Prince gave when he asked to marry the Fourth Sister? The deed was 'handed' to you, right?"
Before Feng Jinyuan could say anything, Fendai couldn't help but yell, "What do you mean?"
Feng Yuheng spread his hands, "It means literally. This house is the condition for the Fifth Prince to marry you. To put it bluntly, you can think of it as a 'transaction'. He used a house to buy you from my father, so this house was earned by my father. What does it have to do with you?"
"You..." Fen Dai didn't expect Feng Yuheng to say such harsh words. She wanted to refute, but after saying "you" for a long time, she felt that Feng Yuheng's words made her speechless. It was just a bit harsh, but in fact it was like this!
Feng Yuheng reminded her again, "You can ask the Fifth Prince to take back the house, but at the same time, father will naturally withdraw your engagement. Fourth sister, do you want the house or the person?"
Fendai wanted someone, of course she wanted someone! But she was blocked like this, and she was really unconvinced. "Second sister, you should also think about it. You have been gone for nearly a year, and I have been supporting the family. It is the Fifth Prince who sends money every month for my sake. Otherwise, do you think the Feng family can still survive?"
This statement made Feng Jinyuan feel very shabby, but it was the truth, and he could not refute it.
Feng Yuheng disagreed. She asked Fen Dai, "Are you saying that I shouldn't serve the country, shouldn't have gone out to fight for nearly a year, and should have stayed at home to take care of you? Also, home? Whose home are you talking about?"
Fendai stamped her feet in anger, "Of course it's the Feng Mansion, our home;!"
"Why do you want me to take care of your family?" Feng Yuheng asked in confusion, "I'm not a philanthropist, why should I care about other people's family affairs?"
Feng Jinyuan couldn't listen anymore. "How can it be someone else's home? Isn't this your home? You just said that Feng Mansion is your mother's home, but now you're upset?"
Feng Yuheng laughed, "I just said this is my mother's home because I couldn't stand you being bullied. But if you say this is really my home, then I would like to ask, father, where is my yard? Where is the house? Where is Zirui's yard? Where is the house? You keep saying it is my home, but Zirui and I are your legitimate sons and daughters, and Zirui is even the only boy in the family, but your family doesn't even have a yard for us. What kind of Zi family is this?"
Feng Jinyuan was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Don't you live in the Princess's Mansion?"
"So, this is not our home, the Princess's Mansion is."
Fendai sneered, "It's good that you know yourself."
"Yes." Feng Yuheng nodded, "You are very self-aware. If you want the position of the legitimate daughter, just take it. Do you think I care about it?" She changed the subject and said with a smile, "But first, you have to have a good mother."
"You!" Fen Dai stood up and pointed at Feng Yu Heng with hatred. She hated it most when someone mentioned Han Shi, which was the greatest shame in her life. Not only did Han Shi not bring any help to her life, but she did such a despicable thing and became a stumbling block on her road to becoming a legitimate daughter. She regretted in her dreams how she could be Han Shi's daughter. Now that Feng Yu Heng brought this up, she was so angry that she wanted to strangle the second sister in front of her to death. However, her mind changed, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips, "Second sister, don't just talk about me. How good is your mother? She committed murder, caused your father to be disabled, and became a laughing stock of everyone. You have a mother like this, what is there to be proud of?"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Jinyuan's face turned pale. He wanted to stop the confrontation from continuing, but Feng Yuheng had already spoken, "The two of them divorced under the imperial decree, and they have no connection after the divorce. As for you hurting me and me hurting you, that is a personal grudge and has nothing to do with this princess. My father was injured because he was negligent in taking precautions. He should reflect on himself. The guards in the mansion should be strengthened in the future."
Fen Dai felt that competing with Feng Yu Heng was like punching a cotton ball. She could not vent her anger or get rid of this addiction. Now Feng Jin Yuan did not help her speak, and An Shi and Xiang Rong sat there in silence. She was isolated and helpless in this room. Suddenly, she felt the sadness of fighting alone. She suddenly missed the past. Although there were noises, the Feng Mansion at that time was so lively!
Feng Yuheng didn't stay in the Feng family for long. He didn't even take out the silver notes that he had brought with him to give to Feng Jinyuan for living expenses. He just gave some fruits and snacks, and was very polite, just like a visitor. He sat for a while and then left.
Feng Jinyuan personally escorted her to the door, wanting to tell her daughter to come to their house more often in the future. But when he opened his mouth, he felt that once he said this, it would mean that the Feng family really treated Feng Yuheng as a guest, and coming to sit more often, what kind of thing would that be? So he quickly changed it to "Come back and stay more often."
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything, but Huang Quan laughed, "Master Feng, have you forgotten? There is no place for our young lady and young master to live in this mansion."
Feng Jinyuan looked embarrassed, but when Feng Yuheng got on the palace carriage and was about to lower the curtain, he asked, "Um, is Zirui still in the palace?" He only knew that Zirui was sent back to the palace, but the fifth prince told him that the child had been taken care of by Concubine Yun, and he couldn't find out anything else. He might not have much hope for Feng Yuheng, but as Feng Yuheng said before, Feng Zirui is now the only boy in the Feng family, and he has no ability to reproduce. That child is the only root of the Feng family, and he really wants to see him.
Feng Yuheng did not hide it and told him, "Zi Rui followed the Seventh Prince to the East Realm, and we don't know when he will come back."
"Go to the East Realm?" Feng Jinyuan was stunned, then angrily said, "How could you let him go to the battlefield? Hey... don't go in, explain clearly, will Zirui be in danger?"
Before he finished speaking, the curtain of Feng Yuheng's carriage had already been lowered. Wang Chuan stopped outside and said to Feng Jinyuan, "There is no war in the East Realm, so how can there be a battlefield? Master Feng, Master Zirui is with His Highness the Seventh Prince. With His Highness the Seventh Prince here, how could he be in danger?" After saying that, he turned around and entered the carriage. The driver ignored him, raised his whip and flicked it, and the carriage was already moving forward.
Wang Chuan fiddled with the banknotes he had taken out of his sleeve pocket and said helplessly, "I have to return them to the account when I get back, so it's unnecessary to take them out."
Huang Quan curled her lips and said, "Of course not. I thought that after not seeing them for almost a year, the Feng family would have made some progress, but it turns out that they are still the same." Then she said to Feng Yuheng, "I have just told Aunt An to bring Miss Three to our place for dinner tonight."
Feng Yuheng nodded, then smiled bitterly, "Looking at Fendai's domineering attitude, I guess her and her mother must be having a hard time in the mansion."
"It's more than just hardship," Wang Chuan said, "I've seen Madam An lose weight, I don't know how much she's suffered."
"If it were up to me, she should just divorce Feng Jinyuan." Huang Quan always spoke quickly, "What's the point of living with a eunuch? She's still a concubine, what's there to be nostalgic about?"
Feng Yuheng laughed, "You also know that she is a concubine. What qualifications does a concubine have for divorce? Divorce is for the wife. There must be a formal three matchmakers and six engagements, a formal document, and the establishment of a marriage relationship. These are the most basic conditions for achieving a divorce. An Shi has nothing."
These words fully expressed the sorrow of being a concubine.
The imperial carriage returned to the Princess's Mansion very quickly. Wang Chuan handed the banknotes to Huang Quan and asked her to return them to the account office. He then went to the storeroom to count out a few pieces of Shu brocade and brought them to Feng Yuheng, asking, "Miss, take a look. Are these pieces okay? If they are okay, I will send them to the Lu family right away."
Feng Yuheng took a look and nodded, "Okay, send the top-quality Shu brocade to her."
Wang Chuan immediately ordered someone to pack up the Shu brocade, and said casually, "Who would have thought that a mere Shu brocade, something that the young lady doesn't even like, was actually used as good material by the Lu family to make wedding clothes for the eldest daughter."
Feng Yuheng was stunned. "The eldest daughter? Their family also has a second daughter?"
"Yes." Wang Chuan said, "The eldest lady of the Lu family gave birth to two daughters and one son. Lu Yao is the eldest daughter, and there is also a second daughter. I don't know her name, and I have never seen her taken out."
Feng Yuheng didn't ask any more questions and urged Wang Chuan to go and come back early.
At this time, in the Left Prime Minister Lu's mansion, the current Left Prime Minister Lu Song was in his study, pointing at his daughter Lu Yao who was kneeling on the ground, his hands shaking with anger - "You could have provoked anyone else, but you had to provoked that Princess Ji'an. Do you think it's easy for your father, the Left Prime Minister, to get married? Do you think you are so glorious just because you have become the eldest daughter of the Left Prime Minister's mansion? Lu Yao, Lu Yao, your father has taken great pains to take care of you and arranged a marriage for you in the Yao family. What is the purpose? Isn't it just to get married to Princess Ji'an? If the Ninth Prince inherits the throne in the future, the Yao family will definitely be rich and powerful, right? Look at what you have done?"
Lu Yao knelt on the ground and cried, unable to speak. His wife, Mrs. Ge, was about to step forward to persuade her, when a servant's voice rose outside the door - "Master, someone outside the door wants to see you. They say that someone from the Princess's Mansion is here to deliver compensation fabric to the young lady."
