Feng Xiangrong hit Fu Ya with a "slap" sound, so fierce that everyone in the room trembled. A servant who came with Fu Ya rushed forward and wanted to restrain Xiangrong, but heard Xiangrong said coldly: "I am the third daughter of the Feng family, the embroidery master of the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi appointed by the emperor himself. Are you sure you want to fight with me?"
The people who served Fu Ya were just maids and old women bought from outside, and some men with little knowledge. They were not presentable, and could not stand the shock of Xiang Rong's words. Fu Ya watched her people retreating step by step with fear on their faces, and she was angry, but she also saw once again the gap between her and the real nobles in Beijing. Others can easily find a backer, no matter how capable they are, the name is always scary. But what about herself? The servants around her were bought, rough people bought by people, their loyalty depends on money, and they have not seen much of the world, and they can be scared by a word. And she completely relies on a Yao family, calling herself Miss Feng, but actually she is a fake. In front of such a real Miss Feng, what is she?
Xiang Rong looked at Fu Ya with cold eyes, without a trace of emotion, but Fu Ya wanted to save some face, so she gritted her teeth and called out, "Third sister."
Unexpectedly, Xiang Rong immediately replied, "Don't call me Third Sister. There is no relationship between you and me. What's more, I don't want to die, and neither does the Feng family. You insulted the Emperor and Concubine Yun in front of so many people in the capital. Fu Ya, if you don't want to live, don't drag the Feng family and the Yao family to die with you! No matter how big the grudge between you and Princess Ji'an is, you can go out and take it out on your own, and don't act wild in my embroidery shop. I've made a note of your insults to the Emperor and Concubine Yun today. You'd better think about what kind of death you want to choose. Because I think of your care for Madam Yao, maybe I can help you fight for it."
Fu Ya shuddered. Xiangrong's words would send her to the guillotine, which made her not mentally prepared at all. She had heard about it before. Everyone knew that the third daughter of the Feng family was a concubine's daughter, with a weak temperament. Her biological mother was unknown and dared not speak in the mansion. Because the mansion did not support them, they could only run this embroidery shop outside and support themselves. She thought that Feng Xiangrong was a soft persimmon, but now it seems that this is completely inconsistent with the information she knew?
Fu Ya's eyes rolled, but she was not completely frightened by Xiangrong. Her face only turned pale, and soon she returned to normal. Then she smiled and said to Xiangrong, "What are you talking about? Third sister, don't scare me like this. As for whether you and I are related, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize me. After all, I am just a concubine's daughter in the family. Now the fourth lady of the Feng family has recognized me, and my mother has also recognized me. Even my father treats me with courtesy. Even the people from the Yao Mansion are polite to me when they come to the other courtyard. So, third sister, whether you recognize me or not, I don't really care. I just want to remind you that today I lost my words and said something I shouldn't have said. This is a fact, but if you do so, it will not be good for the Feng family or the Yao family. So, I hope you will think twice."
After Fu Ya finished speaking, there was a silence for a while. It was obvious that Fu Ya's words made her worried. But Huang Quan didn't think so much. She just felt that Fu Ya's words were too angry, and couldn't help but blurt out: "What are you proud of? Don't forget that the people who heard you were not only the third lady of the Feng family, but also us and Princess Ji'an. You want to shirk this debt? You wish."
"Oh?" Fu Ya looked at Huang Quan. For the first time, she felt that she didn't need to be afraid of this girl, so she said, "Then you guys try to expose her. It doesn't matter if I die alone. So many people will be buried with me. The Feng family and the Yao family should have made enough money. Go ahead, expose her and see who will suffer the greatest loss."
Huang Quan was so angry that he wanted to hit her, but Feng Yuheng stopped him, "Do you want to drag the Feng and Yao families to be buried with you?" Feng Yuheng said with a smile, "One person made a mistake, and two families have to be buried with him. It's really miserable. But...what does that have to do with me? Are you threatening me with the same method you used to threaten the Third Miss of the Feng family?"
Fu Ya was stunned. It was not until today that she realized that the breakup between Feng Yuheng and the Feng Yao families was actually true. She was a little overwhelmed and a little worried. If Feng Yuheng really told this matter to others regardless of the lives of the two families, wouldn't she be doomed? Fu Ya kept rolling her eyes, trying to come up with an idea to get out of the dilemma of not being able to use her eyes. Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Feng Xiangrong in front of her say, "What did Princess Ji'an hear? Did something big happen to bring disaster to the Feng and Yao families?"
Fu Ya was startled, and looked at Feng Xiangrong in surprise. This sudden turn of events made her very surprised, but she could also understand why Feng Xiangrong changed her mind and wanted to help her. It was nothing more than wanting to save the Feng and Yao families from danger, and it had little to do with her. But she was also happy to see this drama. The face-to-face conflict between the third lady of the Feng family and Feng Yuheng was a very interesting scene.
Fu Ya took two steps back, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at the two people in front of her with a mentality of watching the fun. Then she heard Feng Yuheng ask, "Miss Feng San, what do you mean?"
Feng Xiangrong had no expression on her face. She just stared at Feng Yuheng. No one could guess what she was feeling at the moment. She just said to Feng Yuheng seriously, "I heard nothing, saw nothing. Except for the people you brought, everyone in this room will keep their mouths shut about what happened today. So, Princess Ji'an, please go back." She gestured to see the guest off, and regardless of Feng Yuheng's objection, she urged him, "Go quickly. This small shop still needs to open for business. You are of noble status, and we can't afford to worship you like a god."
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything, but he winked at Wangchuan. Huang Quan was straightforward, but Wangchuan was thoughtful. He immediately understood what his young lady meant with just one look, so he stepped forward and said to Feng Xiangrong, "The third young lady of the Feng family, you are good at lying. Do you know what crime you have committed by shielding and condoning someone who dares to insult the emperor?"
Xiang Rong still looked the same, as if she didn't see Wang Chuan, and her eyes were still fixed on Feng Yu Heng. After a while, she continued, "Anyway, if you didn't see it, you didn't see it. If you didn't hear it, you didn't hear it. The Lord of Ji'an County is interested in suing us, so we'll just go along with him. There are only three of you, but we have so many witnesses. The Lord of the County is a smart person, so I'm sure she won't follow us, the common people, to the government office to embarrass us, right?"
Feng Yuheng smiled. Fu Ya thought that smile was condescending, but no one understood how much relief was contained in that smile. "Forget it." She just stared at Xiangrong, but she said to Wangchuan, "This princess really doesn't have the time and energy to do that. Let's go. What's there to talk to these people? Just looking at them makes people feel annoyed."
Feng Yuheng finally walked out of the embroidery shop, still holding her head high. The princess's aura was unmatched. There were many people in and out of the embroidery shop who saw this good show. She was sure that soon, the news that Princess Ji'an had a quarrel with the third lady of the Feng family would spread throughout the capital. At the same time, the third lady of the Feng family stood on the same front with the lady of the Yao family's other courtyard. And people clearly heard the lady of the other courtyard say that the master of the Feng family and the fourth lady who was now in charge had already recognized her. It seemed that Princess Ji'an was indeed alone and had no relatives or friends.
Feng Yuheng stepped on the snow, and the crunching sound sounded very pleasant. Huang Quan slowly came to her senses and realized that all this was done intentionally by her young lady, in order to once again confirm the fact that Princess Ji'an and the Feng and Yao families were at odds with each other. But she still felt a little unfair for Feng Yuheng, "Young lady, do you have to do this? Although it's for their own good, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart."
Feng Yuheng advised her instead: "What's the point of feeling uncomfortable now? If I don't do this, I will feel more uncomfortable in the future. You can all see that there are more and more potential crises around me, and one day my family and friends will be affected. If I don't try my best to get rid of them from me, when they become my weakness and the target of my opponents, it will be too late to cry. What's more, Yao Shi and I are not close to each other. She recognized Fu Ya, and my feelings for her have faded to nothing, so there is nothing to regret."
After hearing what she said, Huang Quan was relieved and stopped talking about it, but Feng Yuheng said to himself: "However, seeing Xiangrong today, I am really relieved! She finally knows how to use the favorable resources around her to make herself invincible, and she will not be easily bullied by others like before. This is really good."
"Yes, the Third Miss is much braver than before." Wang Chuan also praised, "Even Aunt An is no longer the weak and timid person she used to be."
Feng Yuheng said goodbye with a relieved smile, and took the two girls to play in the snow on the street, which showed that she was in a good mood.
Meanwhile, in the embroidery shop, Fu Ya was about to express her gratitude to Xiang Rong for her help and to get closer to the Third Miss of the Feng family, when she heard Xiang Rong say to her in a cold and ruthless voice, "Take the things you bought and leave here. Remember, since you are walking under the name of Miss Feng, be more careful about your words and actions. Don't think you are really threatening me. I just don't want to cause too much trouble. Otherwise, do you think that with Princess Ji An's testimony, our words will have any weight? Get out of here quickly, otherwise, I don't mind showing you how powerful the secret guards that the Fourth Prince secretly deployed around this embroidery shop are."
Fu Ya was very clear that Feng Xiangrong only treated Feng Yuheng like that because she didn't want the Feng family to be dragged down. But on the other hand, he didn't have the slightest affection for her. She also had no intention of staying here any longer, so she snorted coldly and left with a group of servants carrying all the things they had bought.
Seeing the people walking away, An quickly ordered people to close the door of the shop and not accept any more business today. Then she came to her daughter and was about to say a few words of comfort, but she saw Xiangrong in tears, biting her lower lip with her upper teeth, trying her best not to cry out. But she was close, and still heard Xiangrong whisper in a sobbing voice: "Second sister, you must take care of yourself."
