Feng Yuheng felt that since the whole family of Prince Ding'an had no shame, she didn't need to save face for them. She wasn't afraid that Feng Jinyuan would sit idly by and watch this matter. After all, this was not just directed at her personally, but a provocation of the Prince Ding'an's Mansion to the Feng family. Feng Jinyuan was the prime minister, so how could he sit idly by?
Her departure was equivalent to a very imperfect end to Princess Ding'an's birthday banquet. No one had the heart to listen to the music and watch the dance anymore. People came forward to greet Princess Ding'an and say goodbye. A quick-talking woman smiled and said, "This trip today was really worth it. Not only did I hear Miss Feng playing the piano for the dancers, but I also ran into Princess Qingle's beautiful story."
Someone immediately said, "When the princess's wedding is finalized, don't forget to treat us to a wedding feast."
Princess Ding'an was so angry that she yelled, "Get out! Get out!"
It didn't matter that she scolded him. Those who had been silent before were also unhappy. They said, "Get lost! We won't come even if you invite us next time! Let's see how many people you can invite to the birthday banquet of Prince Ding'an's mansion next year. Don't let the owner of the steamed bun shop be unwilling to let his wife and daughter come to support you! Humph!"
With this cold snort, people quickly dispersed, and the male guests also bowed and said goodbye to Prince Ding'an. In the blink of an eye, only Prince Ding'an's family and a few servants were left in the huge back hall.
Prince Ding'an looked at the mess in the room and felt a darkness in front of his eyes. He had a feeling that the situation was hopeless.
He looked at his wife and daughter beside him, especially when he saw Qingle's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but kicked him again.
After two consecutive kicks, Qingle was kicked by King Ding'an until he vomited blood.
Princess Ding'an was also dumbfounded. Seeing that Prince Ding'an was really angry, she didn't even dare to cry.
"Evil creature!" Prince Ding'an pointed directly at Qingle, "You are the evil creature who came to collect debts!"
Feng Mansion
In the main hall of Shuya Garden, Feng Chenyu was lying in the old lady's arms and crying loudly, and Feng Jinyuan was sitting beside her and sighing uncontrollably.
Feng Yuheng and Xiangrong sat opposite him. Xiangrong was a little scared and lowered her head, not daring to look at her father.
"Grandma, father, you must do something for Chenyu!" Chenyu cried while confessing the humiliation she suffered in Ding'an Palace. "Chenyu has practiced piano skills for many years, but for what? Father also said that Chenyu's piano skills must not be easily exposed to others, and they must be kept for... But today, in Ding'an Palace, my second sister forced me to accompany a group of dancers. Father, Chenyu feels so wronged!"
Chenyu had never cried so sadly as she did at that moment. She felt as if she was about to die. She was out of breath and always felt that she would fall to the ground and convulse at the next moment.
The old lady felt sorry for her and kept helping her to smooth her back, but Chenyu cried even louder.
Feng Jinyuan slammed the table and stared at Feng Yuheng: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Feng Yuheng frowned and asked her father in confusion: "Father, what do you mean by this?"
Feng Jinyuan hated her pretending to be innocent, and said viciously: "Since you came back, there has been no peace in our house. Today, your father will ask you, what do you want to do? If you want to avenge being kicked out of the house three years ago, why do you come to your father instead of making things difficult for your elder sister?"
Chen Yu said, "Second sister, you were the legitimate daughter in the past, and I loved and respected you. Even if you left the capital later, it has nothing to do with me. Why did you hurt me like this?"
Feng Yuheng watched the father and daughter singing and drinking, and she felt annoyed. She put down the teacup in her hand, stared at Feng Jinyuan, and didn't say anything for a long time. Just when Feng Jinyuan was really uncomfortable with her staring and wanted to ask another question, she finally spoke faintly, saying: "Although this matter is ridiculous, I still want to remind my father that Ah Heng is not a person without temper. Three years ago, you allowed me to do whatever I wanted. If you still want to continue to be indiscriminate after three years, you must give me a reasonable explanation." She turned her head and looked at Feng Chenyu fiercely, "May I ask, big sister, what do you mean by forcing you to play the piano for the dancer? Let me ask you, did my father say that a concubine's daughter cannot steal the limelight from the legitimate daughter?"
Chenyu didn't answer, but the old lady took over the conversation, "I did say that, but playing the piano for a dancer is not a big deal."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Grandmother is right. Ah Heng also thinks so, and has argued with Princess Ding'an about this matter. Anyone present can prove this. But Princess Ding'an said that the dancers in her mansion are different from ordinary people. They are raised like young ladies. She also said that the daughter of the Feng family is very honored to be able to accompany the dancers in her mansion. Ah Heng was sent to the mountains when he was nine years old. He really didn't know that there had been such changes in the capital. Princess Ding'an said it with certainty, so I had to believe it."
Feng Jinyuan calmed down and asked Chenyu, "Did Princess Ding'an really say that as Ah Heng said?"
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly. She had to admit it, as dozens of ladies had heard it with their own ears, and Feng Jinyuan could find out by just asking around.
"Humph!" The old lady was angry. "How dare a mere royal palace of a different surname make such a boast?"
Feng Yuheng continued, "Not only that. I think father and grandmother haven't heard about what happened later. Princess Qingle had a secret meeting with a man in the back hall, and was caught by everyone. When everyone went in, Princess Qingle was naked in the same bathtub with the man. The man didn't even have clothes on. Princess Qingle even falsely accused Ah Heng of having a secret meeting with someone, saying that she went in to catch me."
"What?" Feng Jinyuan was also excited this time, "Do they think my Feng Mansion is just a decoration?"
"There's more!" Feng Yuheng said with great satisfaction, "Not only the female guests saw that good thing, the male guests were also present. Before leaving, the Seventh Prince said that he would report to the Emperor to grant marriage to Princess Qingle and that man, but Princess Qingle begged Prince Ding'an to tell the Emperor that she did not want to marry that man, she wanted to marry Prince Yu, and be the principal wife."
"What a big tone!" The old lady was so angry that she was shaking, "The wife of Prince Yu is our Ah Heng, how could it be the turn of that princess of a different surname!"
"I guess the Ding'an Palace wants the Yu Palace to cancel the engagement with our Feng family!" Feng Yuheng sighed softly and said helplessly: "After all, they are the palace. Back then, they knew that Ah Heng was engaged to His Majesty the Ninth Prince, but they still asked the Emperor to grant the marriage."
Feng Yuheng said a few words and successfully transferred the opposition from himself to the Ding'an Palace.
Chen Yu watched as her father and grandmother changed from accusing Feng Yuheng to denouncing the Ding'an Palace. She couldn't help but sob again and called out aggrievedly, "Father."
Feng Yuheng didn't wait for her father to speak, and immediately asked: "Father, how dare a prince without real power bully the daughter of the prime minister like this? Comparing the daughter of the Feng family to the same rank as the servants of the palace, does the Ding'an Palace put the first-rank officials of the current dynasty in that position? Please make the decision for us sisters!"
Feng Jinyuan nodded and advised Chenyu: "Don't worry, your father has remembered all the accounts. As for the Ding'an Palace, my Feng family cannot coexist with him!"
Chen Yu wanted to say, "I didn't ask you to hate Ding'an Palace, I asked you to hate Feng Yuheng!" But she couldn't say that. Since her father had already determined that it was Ding'an Palace's fault, if she repeatedly pointed the finger at Feng Yuheng, it would inevitably lead to a situation where she was not friendly to her sisters. She couldn't behave badly in front of her father, so she could only lower her head, say "yeah" aggrievedly, and then take advantage of Feng Jinyuan's indifference to glare at Feng Yuheng fiercely.
The old lady felt that something was wrong with Chenyu in her arms. She lowered her head and happened to see her fierce gaze, and her heart trembled.
Feng Yuheng was not a good person, and this was known to everyone. Moreover, Feng Yuheng had no intention of pretending at all. If anyone made her unhappy or had an enemy with her, she would usually take revenge on the spot without dragging her feet.
But Chenyu always put on a bodhisattva face in front of people. She used to think that this granddaughter was the best-tempered and kind-hearted one, and only such a kind-hearted person was worthy of being the mother of a country. But now, she found that Feng Chenyu was not as well-behaved and lovely as she imagined, and she was afraid that she had the same cruel thoughts as Feng Yuheng behind her back.
The old lady felt a little panicked. She was not afraid that Chenyu was scheming. If she was destined to be the mother of the country in the future, how could she be too kind? She was afraid that Chenyu was not scheming, but was as vicious as Shen. If that was the case, she would not be the hope of the Feng family, but would become the scourge of the Feng family!
Today's events caused Feng Jinyuan, who had returned to Songyuan, to think deeply. Feng Yuheng's words reminded him, why can a king of a different surname who has no real power dare to ignore his Feng Mansion? After all, isn't it because the Feng family does not have a clear backer. Although Feng Yuheng and Prince Yu have an engagement, all the good things that Prince Yu has done are directly for Feng Yuheng personally, and he has never given his Feng family any face. People who understand the reason even know that Prince Yu's Mansion does not like the Feng family. Not to mention that the Feng family is fine, even if there is trouble in the future, it would be good if they don't add insult to injury, and they can't expect them to lend a helping hand.
He felt that it was time to make a decision on some matters.
"Someone come here." Feng Jinyuan called out in a low voice, and a servant immediately pushed the door open and came in, "Prepare the car."
The servant was stunned. It was already the second watch. He was going out so late at night? But he didn't dare to ask more. He just responded and went to prepare the car.
After the servant left, Feng Jinyuan whispered again, "Secret Guard."
Immediately a figure appeared and stood in the study.
"Last time I asked you to check on the Third Prince, did you find any where he was?"
The secret guard nodded, "The Third Prince contacted the Right Prime Minister Feng five days ago, but Feng did not see him. Two days later, Feng surrendered to the Second Prince. In addition, the Third Prince has long had the intention of secretly raising troops and has recruited soldiers from other provinces many times. Now, according to reliable information, he has more than 30,000 troops stationed."
Feng Jinyuan nodded, "Very good, he is a courageous person."
"Are you going to the Third Prince's Xiang Palace?"
Feng Jinyuan nodded, "It's time to go over there. My Feng family can't escape this battle for succession no matter what. If we don't show our attitude, I'm afraid... it will be too late!"
The secret guard said nothing more and disappeared into the air in a flash.
Feng Jinyuan left the house overnight and quietly entered the Prince Xiang's Mansion of the Third Prince.
