Feng Yuheng leisurely provoked an incident, causing Xuan Tianmo to kneel down and kowtow to Tianwu, while also saying in fear: "My son is innocent, please don't listen to others' words, father"
Little girls always hold grudges. Feng Yuheng added, "Isn't what Ah Heng said wrong? It was my Eighth Brother who led a group of people to make me close Baicaotang. Now it is you, my Eighth Brother, who told my father that I should reopen Baicaotang. Aren't you the one who has the final say here?"
"Today, the people of the capital are petitioning and kneeling at the palace gate. Brothers and sisters, please don't confuse the facts." Xuan Tianmo was so angry that his teeth were itching.
But he just heard Tianwu say: "The people's petition is the people's petition, why do you follow suit?"
Well, he wanted to be a good guy, but ended up being a nobody. Knowing that it was useless to say more, he simply shut up, knelt there and admitted his fault. But he glanced at Feng Yuheng with infinite resentment. Feng Yuheng looked at him like a young wife who had been bullied, not like a dignified prince.
Emperor Tianwu looked at him coldly for a long while, but didn't say anything else. He waved his hand to let him stand up, and then said to Feng Yuheng: "Ah Heng, you should reopen Baicaotang. It's not the right thing for the capital to have no decent clinic. Your Baicaotang is doing very well, the people are convinced, and they use medicine with conscience." Having said that, he glared at Lao Ba again, and then said: "I will put my words here today. From now on, no matter who it is, they have no right to point fingers at Baicaotang. Not only the one in the capital, but also the Baicaotang in other provinces in Dashun, have no right to interfere. I remember that in order to allow Baicaotang to open all over Dashun, it seems that I also paid a lot of money."
When he said this, he turned to look at Zhang Yuan, who quickly said, "Your Majesty is right, we did pay for it, and it didn't come from the national treasury. It was your own money, Your Majesty, and we opened this business in partnership with the princess."
"Yes." Tianwu nodded and said, "That's it. If you cause trouble for Baicaotang, it's the same as causing trouble for me. Lao Ba, you must have heard it clearly."
Xuan Tianmo was overwhelmed, thinking that this was said to him, but he did not dare to refute Tianwu's words, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Father is right."
"Then Xiao Yuanzi, you should draft an edict and send it to all the provinces, prefectures, and counties, telling the local officials about the Baicao Hall, saying that it was opened by me and Princess Ji'an, and now she should be called Princess Yu. Just say that it was opened by me and Princess Yu together, so that they can open their eyes."
Feng Yuheng was also smart, and quickly said, "The monthly business of Baicaotang is reported to the capital by the shopkeepers of each store. Ah Heng will bring the accounts to the emperor for review. Although Baicaotang is mainly for public welfare and does not expect big profits, it still has some surplus."
Emperor Tianwu looked at her with a smile. This daughter-in-law was perfect no matter how he looked at her. She was capable and could make money. It was a blessing that the Feng family didn't raise her in a wrong way. Think about it, the best thing that old man Feng Jinyuan had done was to give birth to such a daughter.
Seeing that Emperor Tianwu and Feng Yuheng were talking more and more passionately, Xuan Tianmo stood aside like a forgotten person, his teeth itching with hatred. But at this moment, Feng Yuheng wanted him to come again, but he said something that made him even more upset: "Oh, by the way, there is something I need to tell my brother. When we attacked Gu Shu in the South Boundary, my brother's concubine was captured by the general of Gu Shu, Bi Xiu. When we attacked Yueping City, the general pushed my brother's concubine off the city wall. Ah Heng thought at that time that although the woman was a concubine, she had been with my brother after all. My brother originally wanted to leave her in Lanzhou, but he didn't expect her to fall into Bi Xiu's hands. It was pitiful to think about it. As a brother's sister, Ah Heng had the obligation to help my brother avenge this. Therefore, Ah Heng shot and killed the general Bi Xiu at that time, which was also a relief for my brother and fulfilled my obligation as a brother's sister."
"Well" Xuan Tianmo was stunned by what she said, "What concubine? Where did I get a concubine?"
"Hey, Brother B's concubine is in Lanzhou. Everyone knows this. It was chosen for you by Concubine Yuan herself and sent from the capital. Coincidentally, Ah Heng also knows that concubine. She is Miss Fu Ya who was brought back to the capital from the north. Concubine Yuan took a liking to that girl and sent her to Lanzhou to be Brother B's concubine. Brother B even asked the former prefect of Lanzhou to buy a house there. Everyone in the South knows this. Brother B, don't be embarrassed. Why don't you ask your father to ask Concubine Yuan?"
"No need," Xuan Tianmo blurted out, "No need, no need. I remember now. There was such a thing, but when the girl came to the South Realm, I was already on my way back to the capital. I missed her and never met her."
"Whether they met or not, it was Lady Yuan's intention after all. I've heard that Brother B has great respect for his biological mother, so he won't offend Lady Yuan." As she spoke, she sighed and said, "That Miss Fu Ya is also pitiful. She was Brother B's concubine, but she died without even seeing Brother B's face. But Brother B, don't worry, Ah Heng really shot Bi Xiu to death with his own hands, and he got rid of his anger."
Xuan Tianmo gritted his teeth in anger. Feng Yuheng kept saying that she was the one who spoke up for him. What did she mean by asking him to appreciate it?
Just as I had this thought in my mind, I heard Tianwu say, "Old Eight, since she is your woman, no matter if she is a legitimate wife or concubine, or a concubine, she is yours after all. She met with an unexpected accident, and your sister-in-law helped you to bear the grudge, you have to accept this favor."
Xuan Tianmo had an impulse. He wanted to ask his father, am I your son, or is Feng Yuheng your daughter? Why do you side with outsiders when encountering matters related to Feng Yuheng?
But just as she was complaining in her heart, Tianwu responded naturally: "You don't have to compare yourself with Ah Heng, and don't think that I always side with her. In fact, I am not always on her side. There are times when I side with you. Otherwise, why would she close the Baicao Hall in the capital, and why would she leave the capital and go to Ji'an County?"
These words shut Xuan Tianmo up again. But the old emperor said, "I still say the same thing. We, the descendants of the Xuan family, are not the kind of people who don't repay kindness. Since your sister-in-law helped you vent your anger, you must accept this favor."
What else could he say? Even if he was unwilling in his heart, he had to listen, accept, and follow the words of Emperor Tianwu. So he bowed respectfully to Feng Yuheng and said sincerely: "Thank you for your help, my sister-in-law. Although I don't have any favors with that woman, my father is right. No matter what her status is, she is the woman my mother gave me. It's just that my sister-in-law has done me a great favor, and I can't help feeling guilty."
"It's not like I can't repay you." Feng Yuheng suddenly said, "Originally, Ah Heng didn't expect anything in return, but since Big Brother said so, Ah Heng can't let Big Brother live with guilt for the rest of his life. After all, it's not worth it for a concubine."
Xuan Tianmo heard this and thought that this person was actively asking for a reward. Emperor Tianwu had also spoken, so he couldn't just not express his opinion. He was more generous and resolved the matter. So he asked, "I wonder what your sister-in-law meant by that?"
"Some time ago, something happened at a mine in Yuzhou, and some people pointed out that it was done at the instruction of Bage. After Ah Heng returned to Beijing, he heard that the case was still under trial. Bage denied it, and it was difficult for the Ministry of Justice to file a case." Feng Yuheng spoke of the mine in a dim voice, which made Xuan Tianmo confused.
Aren't we talking about Fu Ya's matter? Why are they suddenly talking about the mine again? He was puzzled. "What does this mean, sister-in-law? There are always villains who frame me for evil things. I am upright and honest. Even if I come to the Ministry of Justice, I will tell the truth. I didn't instruct to harm the miners, then I didn't instruct. I believe that the Ministry of Justice will clear my name sooner or later."
"Oh, that's the matter between the Ministry of Justice and Brother Ba. As a woman, Ah Heng won't get involved in that." She said, "I brought this up today because Brother Ba insisted on saying something about the concubine. Ah Heng is thinking about the miners and their families who were killed in Yuzhou, and she has always felt bad. After all, those who were hurt were ordinary people, the people of Dashun, and the subjects of the emperor. I believe that the emperor is just as worried as Ah Heng is."
After saying that, he glanced at Emperor Tianwu. Tianwu was very dramatic, and immediately acted very sad, and said: "They are all my Dashun people, just like my sons."
Xuan Tianmo gritted his teeth and asked, "What does my sister-in-law mean?"
Feng Yuheng said: "After the incident, I have already given a certain amount of compensation to the miners who died and their families, but it is still a drop in the bucket with my own strength. Why don't my brother also do his part for the miners and share the worries of the emperor."
Xuan Tianmo snorted in his heart, but he acted very positive on the surface: "Of course. Being able to share the worries of the emperor is my duty as a son. As for how much I should give as a token of my gratitude, please let my sister-in-law tell me."
Feng Yuheng shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for me giving instructions, Ah Heng wouldn't dare to tell Bage anything. This matter is just like reopening Baicaotang, it's for the benefit of the people. So Ah Heng can't make the decision. He still has to go back to Yuzhou Mine to understand the situation and see what's missing. After understanding it, he can report the number to Bage."
Xuan Tianmo nodded, "Then let's do as my sister-in-law said. I will wait for you at the mansion."
Feng Yuheng smiled, her mine was destroyed, her miners died, and she was asked to pay for disaster relief. How could that be possible? She had to not only get back all the compensation from Lao Ba, but also let this guy pay an extra ounce of blood to get more benefits for her Ji'an County. "Father." She leaned towards Emperor Tianwu, "Today, the people petitioned, and Ba Ge also gave in, so the daughter-in-law of Baicaotang can reopen with peace of mind. It just so happens that Ah Heng's three cousins in the Yao family are determined to become doctors. Ah Heng is also thinking of opening a medical school to teach medical skills, so that our university can cultivate more outstanding medical talents."
Tianwu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Ah Heng is the one who thinks things through. Just be assured and do it boldly. If you have any problem, just tell your father and he will make the decision for you."
"Thank you, Father."
Baicaotang was thus confirmed to reopen. When Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianmo left the palace, Xuan Tianmo's face finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stared at the girl in front of him and said to Yin Shun viciously, "You're just a woman, don't be so arrogant. You follow a man to the battlefield, aren't you afraid that your man will be criticized behind his back, saying that he relies on a woman to fight a war? Humph, he relies on his mother in the capital, and relies on his wife outside the capital. This ninth brother of this king is really promising."
Just as he finished speaking, he didn't hear Feng Yuheng's retort, but saw the girl looking straight at the direction behind him with a look of panic on her face.
