Hearing Ge mention the blood swallows, Lu Song did not refute immediately, but stood still with a frown on his face. Obviously, he also suspected the blood swallows as the cause of Lu Yan's poisoning. But the things were sent by the Queen after all, so even if he had some doubts in his heart, he did not dare to jump to conclusions.
He said to Mrs. Ge, "Please invite a few doctors to come to your house. Remember, they should either be honest and know the details, or they should be from other places and are unfamiliar with the capital. Do not invite any of the doctors commonly used in other mansions, understand?"
Madam Ge nodded, "Master, rest assured. I know what to do about this matter. But then again, is the problem really with the blood swallow? That thing was given by the Queen, but the Queen has no grudges against us, why would she want to harm Yan'er?"
Lu Song snorted coldly, "What grudges are there? When the masters in the palace do things, who has ever been reasonable? The queen has always ignored these trivial matters. If it was really her who did it this time, there must be someone who conspired with her. I'm afraid she was also working for someone else, and the person she was working for is the one we should think about the most."
"She is the queen, who can trouble her?" Ge was puzzled. After thinking about it, she blurted out: "Could it be Princess Ji'an?"
Lu Song shook his head, "It can't be her. This marriage was actually initiated by Princess Ji'an. She won't go back on her word. Well, stop guessing. Let's check first and see what the result is." Lu Song didn't want to guess any more. This sudden marriage between the Lu family and the eighth prince always made him uneasy and felt it was unreal. From step to step until now, he was always worried, afraid that something might go wrong. It was almost the New Year, and it was almost time for the Emperor to grant the marriage. Once the marriage was granted, it would be a done deal. But he didn't expect that at this critical juncture, something would really go wrong.
On New Year's Eve, the princess's mansion was a little deserted. Although the servants had decorated the whole mansion with lights and colors to make it festive, there were only two masters, Feng Yuheng was not a person who liked crowds, and even Feng Zirui was not as lively as before after so many changes. Apart from eating dumplings, this New Year's Eve was no different from any other day.
Wang Chuan advised Feng Yuheng: "The mansion has prepared fireworks, why don't you take the young master to set off some fireworks!" After that, he said to Zi Rui: "Young master, shall we go set off fireworks?"
Wangchuan had tried her best to arouse his interest, but Zirui was not in the least bit interested. He just shook his head to show that he was not interested.
Huang Quan did bring the little white tiger over. Zi Rui liked it, but he only wanted to hold it in his arms and had no interest in playing with it. In addition, the little tiger was lazy and lay in Zi Rui's arms with half-closed eyes and wanted to sleep, which made Huang Quan so angry that he wanted to slap it.
Feng Yuheng saw that the two maids tried their best to make them happy, and she couldn't bear it, so she finally said: "You don't have to be like this, I think it's good now, it doesn't have to be crowded or noisy to be considered as the New Year. We can stay up quietly and spend the New Year's Eve peacefully, which is also a blessing."
Zi Rui also said, "That's right. When I was in Feng Mansion before, there were many people, but few of them were sincere. Even if we sat at the same table to eat, there would always be trouble. There was no peace every year. I also think that the current situation is good. As long as my sister is by my side, I am content."
Wang Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if His Highness the Ninth Prince will come over soon. If His Highness comes, it will be much more interesting."
Feng Yuheng smiled and told her: "He won't come. I have agreed with him that this year is my last year before I get married, and we will live our own lives. What's more, he is the only master in Prince Yu's Mansion. If he runs away, the servants in the mansion will lose their backbone and will be equally boring. Anyway, I will go to the palace to attend the palace banquet tomorrow, and I will see him then." As she spoke, she reached out to touch the little white tiger in Zirui's arms, and then asked Zirui: "Zirui is a good child. Sister knows that you also want to be lively in your heart. You said that just because you don't want to make your sister sad."
Zirui shook his head, "No, I really like the way things are now. It's just... it's just..." He twisted his fingers, "It's just that I miss my third sister a little bit. Also, Zirui really wants to visit grandpa's house. Sixth brother once said that he would give me a sword during the New Year, but I don't know if he's still going to keep his word."
Hearing the child mention the Yao family, Feng Yuheng felt bitter in her heart, not for others, but for Yao Xian, her biological grandfather. If it weren't for the previous things, it would be such a happy thing to be able to spend the New Year with her own grandfather in another world! But thinking about it again, the "reconciliation" with the Yao family is just around the corner. Maybe the two families will reconcile in a few days, and it won't be too late to get together again then. So she said to Zirui: "Don't worry, sister will take you to grandpa's house to kowtow and wish a happy new year in a while."
When Wang Chuan Huang Quan heard this, he knew that his young lady had made up her mind to restore the relationship with the Yao family, and he couldn't help but laugh. Several people laughed, and the atmosphere on this New Year's Eve finally eased a little.
But although people in the Princess' Mansion were happy, the atmosphere in the Phoenix Mansion was as terrifying as hell!
Feng Fendai rushed to the courtyard where Feng Jinyuan originally lived and smashed everything. Even the bed that Feng Jinyuan had slept on was split open with the axe she used to chop firewood under the kitchen. Seeing her hands covered with scars from smashing things, the maid Dongying was so anxious that she cried. She kept going forward to stop her and could only follow behind and persuade her: "Miss, please don't smash or chop. Destroying things is nothing, but your hands are precious! You have to go to the palace for a banquet tomorrow. If you get your hands injured, His Highness the Fifth Prince will be heartbroken to see it."
However, Feng Fendai couldn't care about these things now. She was a person with a bad temper. She could never hold back her anger in her heart. If she didn't vent it out, she would probably get sick! What hand injury, what whether the Fifth Prince felt sorry for her, these had long been thrown behind her. She only knew that if she didn't completely destroy Feng Jinyuan's courtyard, she would be so upset and angry on this New Year's Eve. Not to mention destroying some things, if the servants in this courtyard hadn't run away early in the morning, she would definitely kill those servants who usually served Feng Jinyuan tonight to vent her anger.
Seeing Fendai chopping down every blade of grass and tree in the yard, Dongying knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she could only stand aside silently, standing side by side with the housekeeper He Zhong, and said no more.
Finally, Feng Fendai's axe landed on a big tree trunk in the yard. The force was too strong, and she couldn't pull it off. She tried several times but couldn't pull the axe off, so she had to give up. She was tired and had no strength to struggle anymore. She almost fell down. Fortunately, Dongying was quick and supported her. Fendai leaned on Dongying, muttering: "Go get a torch and burn this yard. Anyway, the deed belongs to Feng Jinyuan, and we can't take it back. It's better to burn it and put an end to it."
"Miss, please stop talking nonsense." Dong Ying advised helplessly, "Even if you want to burn it, you have to do it after we move out. Fire and water are merciless. You say that you will only burn this yard, but who can guarantee that the fire will not spread to other places? There are not many people in our house now. If something really happens, there will be no one to put out the fire. This idea is absolutely not acceptable!"
Feng Fendai was just talking, she was really reluctant to let her set fire to the house. But she couldn't swallow this swallow no matter what, she couldn't help but raise her hand, pointing directly at the Feng Jinyuan's house that she had smashed to pieces and said: "Son of a bitch! He is a son of a bitch! Don't think that I don't know where he went if the Fifth Prince doesn't tell me! Now it's no longer a secret where Feng Jinyuan and that bitch Yao have gone. Didn't they take that bastard to the South Realm? Didn't they become a couple again and have a fake daughter, and want to live a wild life there? Feng Jinyuan is a bitch, his life is gone, and he is still daydreaming! It's better for him to die on the way and be eaten by wild dogs. Later, I will definitely beat that wild dog to a pulp and worship it to thank it for eliminating harm to the people."
Feng Fendai was like this. When she got angry, she dared to say anything, and the servants couldn't stop her. After all, they were in their own house, and she was angry, so they let her curse. What's more, even the servants felt ashamed of what Feng Jinyuan did. He Zhong even felt that Fendai's curse was too light. If it were him, he would chase her to the south and cut her into pieces if he caught her, otherwise he would not be able to relieve his hatred.
Fendai was tired of scolding, and Dongying helped her sit on the stone chair in the yard. After scolding Feng Jinyuan enough, she slapped the stone table and scolded Anshi - "That woman is also unfaithful, and she is still a member of the Feng family! But she took that little bitch Feng Xiangrong and moved out of the mansion! What does she think the Feng family is? Is it a place where you can come and go as you please?"
Dong Ying hurriedly advised: "Miss, don't be angry anymore. It's not appropriate to be angry on New Year's Eve! It's good that Aunt An and the others have moved away. I have already inquired about it. They moved to the embroidery shop and live in the backyard of that shop. Miss, even the master doesn't want this family anymore, so we shouldn't worry about it anymore. Let Aunt An and the Third Miss go. The Fifth Prince has also found a new yard for you. We should arrange to move after the New Year. Don't be attached to the Feng family anymore. Just like the Second Miss, live your own life, isn't it good? You will be the legitimate princess of the Li Palace in the future. It's not worth it to get sick because of a hopeless family."
Everyone was desperate about the Feng family. The servants no longer tried to persuade Fen Dai to stay any longer. They just wanted to part ways and leave this place of trouble. Just like Feng Yu Heng, they could live in their own house and no one would care about anyone else. Maybe things would get better slowly.
Fen Dai listened to the advice this time and nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes, but for the first time in her heart she envied and understood Feng Yuheng. If she had foreseen that Feng Jinyuan was such a shameless and irresponsible father, she would have followed Feng Yuheng's example and established her own residence, as far away from this family as possible.
"Pack your things and pack up everything you can take away from this house. We will move out after the New Year and never have anything to do with the Feng family again!"
