Xuan Tianming didn't even look at the shoes, but stared at Feng Fendai for a long time. [This site has changed to a new domain name.. first letter, previously registered accounts can still be used]
Fendai was already secretly in love with him, and could not stand being stared at like that. She blushed immediately, lowered her head, and became shy and embarrassed.
Xuan Tianming was puzzled and couldn't help asking Feng Yuheng: "Who is this person?"
Feng Yuheng told him: "The fourth young lady of the mansion who was born out of wedlock."
"Oh." He stretched out the last word and moved the whip in his hand.
Feng Jinyuan knew Xuan Tianming's temper very well, and was so frightened that he quickly shouted at Fendai, "Come back! You are not allowed to speak in front of His Highness!"
Fendai was unwilling to accept it, "But these are clearly Second Sister's shoes..." As she spoke, she looked at Feng Yuheng's feet, and saw the faint glimpse of the shoe under the long skirt.
I don't know where she got the courage from, she actually lifted up Feng Yuheng's skirt. I saw a pair of shoes intact on Feng Yuheng's feet, exactly the same as the one she was holding.
Fen Dai couldn't believe it and stood there in a daze, but suddenly she felt her wrist tighten, and she saw Xuan Tianming reaching out and holding her left wrist.
She was excited and felt a warm current spreading from her wrist.
Unfortunately, the warm current turned into pain in an instant, but with a "crack" sound, Xuan Tianming suddenly exerted force and directly broke Feng Fendai's left wrist bone!
Feng Fendai didn't even make a sound. Her eyes rolled up and she fainted.
Han was so frightened that she lost her soul. She rushed over and hugged Fendai, crying bitterly.
Seeing this, Feng Jinyuan dared not let Han make any more noise. He was really afraid that if he angered Xuan Tianming, he would beat his concubine to death. So he quickly ordered: "Quickly send the fourth young lady and the fourth concubine back to their rooms!" He did not even dare to ask for a doctor.
Xuan Tianming turned halfway around to help Feng Yuheng adjust the hem of her skirt, "You have seen what you should have seen. Our Hengheng's shoes are well worn on his feet. If anyone dares to say anything nonsense again, I will send someone to take out his tongue."
"Your Majesty, I've got that." Feng Jinyuan looked to Tian Xuan Tian Hua for help, hoping that the always kind Seventh Prince could say a few words for him.
Xuan Tianhua glanced at Feng Chenyu who had been looking at him. His expression was still gentle, but his words were a reminder to Feng Jinyuan: "Even between me and Ming'er, we would not be so rude as to lift her clothes in public. Forget it, Master Feng, please ask a doctor to check the fourth lady's injury."
Finally hearing this, Feng Jinyuan quickly ordered someone to call a doctor.
At this time, Xuan Tianming raised his hand, and a great eunuch behind him immediately stepped forward, shook the bright yellow scroll in his hand, and sang loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived! Feng Chenyu receives the decree!"
Everyone in the Feng family was stunned. No one expected that the sudden imperial decree was actually for Feng Chenyu.
Chenyu took a few steps forward in a daze, knelt down to listen to the decree, and the others behind her also knelt on the ground. Then the chief eunuch said, "According to the decree of the Empress and Concubine Yun, Feng Chenyu, the legitimate daughter of the Feng family, is not allowed to set foot in the palace for five years. This is my mercy! Thank you!"
Chenyu felt as if her head exploded with a buzzing sound!
It was not as simple as Shen thought. Five years were all her best years! Not being able to enter the palace meant that she could not get in touch with the most powerful people, and could not attend all the banquets held in the palace within five years, and could not see those people she wanted to see and the Feng family wanted her to see. Could she sit at home and wait to become the mother of the country? Even if she married the heir, she would miss these five years of dealing with people, and how many future plans she would lose!
This decree was simply cutting off her retreat.
But can I not answer it? Obviously not.
"I accept your order and thank you." Feng Chenyu kowtowed, a huge hatred rising in her heart.
"Everyone, get up." Xuan Tianming spoke again in a gloomy tone, "Bring in their mistress as well."
Someone immediately carried Shen to the courtyard. Yes, they carried her, because Shen's legs were completely unable to walk.
Feng Chenyu looked at her mother, her bleeding knees and the scars on her face from Xuan Tianming's beatings, and she couldn't feel any sympathy. She knew that everything today was caused by her mother. It was because of her mother's greed that she angered Concubine Yun and ruined her future.
She hated Shen.
“Remember to deliver the real “Green Mountain Picture” to Prince Yu’s Palace within three days, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Xuan Tianming threw down the last words, patted the back of Feng Yuheng’s hand, and finally left.
The front yard of the Feng family was once again filled with gifts for Feng Yuheng, which was like the day of the engagement, reminding everyone: No one should look down on her, Feng Yuheng.
The old lady tiredly ordered the servants: "Send them all to Tongshengxuan!"
Feng Yuheng walked up to Feng Jinyuan and bowed slightly: "I went to the street to look at shops today, but I didn't expect to be invited to the palace. I didn't tell my father in advance, please don't blame me."
Feng Jinyuan knew it wasn't her fault, so she shook her head and said nothing. However, she thought of Feng Fendai's broken wrist and couldn't help but complain, "Your Highness the Prince was too heavy-handed."
Feng Yuheng asked back, "I don't understand what Fourth Sister meant by doing that. We are both unmarried girls. Why did Fourth Sister lift up my skirt like that?"
"Disaster star!" Feng Zihao blurted out these two words while being supported by servants in a corner. "How many people in the family were beaten because of you? You are a disaster star!"
"Zihao is right..." Shen, who was lying on the ground, used her two arms to support her upper body and looked at Feng Yuheng fiercely: "You are the disaster star!"
"Really?" Feng Yuheng looked at her coldly, "Mother, you should think carefully about where the real 'Green Mountain Picture' is. If you still can't get it out by the three-day deadline, I'm afraid the disaster will be even more severe."
She was not exaggerating. The Feng family also knew the consequences of not handing over the "Green Mountain Picture". The old lady first expressed her attitude: "Jinyuan, notify the Shen family and ask them to hand over the "Green Mountain Picture" to me!" She knew very well that most of the money the Shen family made was from her mother's family. Especially antiques, calligraphy and paintings, they must have been given to the Shen family to manage the family.
Feng Jinyuan hurriedly ordered his men to do it, then turned around to look at everyone in the courtyard and made a decision: "Rest early today, and tomorrow morning, everyone except Fan Dai will go to Pudu Temple to burn incense and pray for the Feng family."
Finally, everyone dispersed, each of them was worried and full of things on their minds. No one knew why Feng Jinyuan suddenly chose to go to the temple to burn incense at this time.
This entire day, starting from the Ninth Prince's first visit and ending with the Ninth Prince's second visit, was nothing short of a thrilling journey.
The Ninth Prince praised Feng Yuheng to the sky while trampling Feng Mansion into the ground. No one would feel good about this.
The old lady walked a few steps slowly, and when everyone had dispersed, she turned around and said to Feng Jinyuan: "Chen Yu is fourteen this year, you have to know the number in your mind, and you can't delay any longer."
Feng Jinyuan understood what the old lady meant. The emperor was over fifty and still hadn't appointed a crown prince. None of the nine princes were easy to deal with. As the left prime minister, he was naturally the first candidate to be wooed by all parties. But he was always cautious in doing things. It was not easy for him to gain a foothold in the court and the Feng family in Beijing. It was impossible for him to easily express his position. After watching for these years, he originally thought that the ninth prince had the most hope, but now he has become the least likely one. Then the rest... The old lady was right. It was time to make a decision.
On the way back to Tongshengxuan, Zirui held Feng Yuheng's hand tightly, as if his sister would disappear if he let go even a little.
Feng Yuheng laughed at him: "You are a child who should be enlightened, why are you still so clingy?"
"Just let him stick with you." Yao said, "The people in the palace are the same. They didn't even come to the mansion to deliver a message. Zirui didn't even have dinner because they were afraid something might happen to you."
Feng Zirui held her hand tighter and said, "Zirui knew that nothing would happen to my sister. With that powerful prince here, nothing will happen to my sister." But she was a child after all. When she thought of Xuan Tianming breaking Fendai's wrist, she became afraid again, "Fourth sister's hand wouldn't really be broken, right?"
"No." She patted Zirui's head, "It can be fixed." She knew what was going on when Xuan Tianming attacked. Although he seemed ruthless, he actually left room for her. Fendai was still young after all, and there was still a lot of room for growth. If she could find a doctor with good medical skills, she could recover as before after the repair. And she didn't think that Feng Mansion couldn't even find a good bone-setting doctor.
That night, no one in the Feng Mansion could sleep. It was all because of the devil-like roars coming from the Jinyu Courtyard—"Disaster star! Feng Yuheng, you are a disaster star!"
An ordered the servants: "Send a few more people to guard the Third Miss's room, don't scare her."
Han was busy taking care of the seriously injured Fendai. When Fendai heard the roars, she felt extremely happy.
Jin Zhen from Ruyi Courtyard leaned against the window and sneered at Jinyu Courtyard, thinking that the eldest lady had come to this day, and it seemed that the feng shui had really changed. She couldn't help but feel lucky for her choice of team.
As for the old lady, the sound of the disaster star reminded her of someone - "Madame Zhao." She got up and went downstairs, "Go quickly to the woodshed in the backyard to see how Taoist Ziyang is doing."
Nanny Zhao left in a hurry and when she came back, her face was pale.
"What's wrong?" The old lady also became nervous.
Then Madam Zhao said in a trembling voice, "Madam, Taoist Master Ziyang is...dead."
"What?" The old lady was shocked and fell down on the couch. "Dead?"
"Ouch! You should pay attention to your waist." Aunt Zhao advised hurriedly, "The neck was cut."
The old lady took a long time to come back to her senses. After thinking for a while, she asked again: "Did he leave anything behind?"
Madam Zhao nodded. "There are eight bloody characters on the ground."
"What's it about?"
"If the disaster star is not removed, Feng Mansion will be in great trouble."
These eight words struck the old lady's mind like a huge hammer. She remembered that Feng Zihao had pointed at Feng Yuheng and said, "Since you came back, people in your family have been injured one after another. Could it be that the evil star is causing trouble?"
Zi Yang's death was a secret kept secret by the old lady. No one except Feng Jinyuan knew that Taoist Zi Yang was no longer alive, and no one else knew that he had written those eight bloody words. In Feng Jinyuan's words, "At this point, even if she is a disaster, we can't get rid of her."
The disturbance in Feng Mansion that night did not affect Feng Yuheng's Tongsheng Pavilion, because it was far away, and Shen's shrill shouting and cursing could not be heard at all. But she still tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, always feeling that something was going to happen, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
Until a "thump" sound came from the rear window, Feng Yuheng immediately turned over and ran straight to the direction where the sound came from! . . .
