When they heard that they were going to find the Seventh Prince, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, agreed immediately, and then went to the new residence under the guidance of Huang Quan.
Feng Yuheng immediately wrote a memorial to Emperor Tianwu, explaining the situation here truthfully, and also wrote a handwritten letter to Xuan Tianhua, expressing her anger in a very open manner. In short, she was very angry and she must avenge this grudge. I believe Xuan Tianhua can understand her feelings, and Lao Ba will not let this matter go.
In addition, Feng Yuheng was not idle either. That night, he ordered people to take the list of more than 20 people to the mine to arrest people. He also took the two people who came to expose the crimes and asked them to tell the crimes of the Eighth Prince in front of everyone.
Among the twenty or so people who were captured, there were the Eighth Prince's assassins who refused to admit it, but there were others who were not so determined, especially after hearing the two men's analysis: "This time, we took action in advance and sacrificed our sons. If a similar incident happens again next time, you must be prepared to die at any time and anywhere!"
As soon as these words came out, those people were not fools, and they had to analyze it together. After this analysis, it was really the case. So some people were moved and stood on Feng Yuheng's side, and provided a lot of evidence of the Eighth Prince's crimes. Some people even said: "The mine collapse was not a natural disaster at all, but the Eighth Prince ordered us to secretly dig it out, and there was a mechanism inside. Once the order is given from above, the mechanism here will be activated and the collapse will start immediately."
When people heard this, they collectively collapsed. They didn't understand why the Eighth Prince did this. Weren't they the subjects of Dashun? Wasn't the Eighth Prince a prince of Dashun?
The weeping was deafening, mixed with people's abuse of the Eighth Prince. Finally, someone loudly proposed: "Let's write a petition together! Please ask the Princess and the Sixth Prince to help pass it to the Emperor. We must expose the Eighth Prince's crimes. We can no longer allow such a person to harm the people!"
This proposal was quickly responded to by everyone. Xuan Tianfeng, who came with Feng Yuheng, also nodded and even took the initiative to write a petition for people. In this way, the petition signed by hundreds of people was sent to the capital overnight along with those who rebelled against the Eighth Prince. Feng Yuheng sent all the secret guards to escort it to ensure a safe journey.
The people once again unanimously believed that only someone like Princess Ji'an was worthy of being called the master. People shouted "Princess Ji'an" as if these four words were their beliefs. As long as Princess Ji'an was there, they would have no worries in their lives.
Feng Yuheng listened to the shouts, feeling relieved. The fatigue and mental tension of the past few days finally relaxed at this moment. However, this relaxation made her lose her strength and she instantly passed out. The last moment she was aware of was Xuan Tianfeng catching her quickly and the man's concerned eyes.
Feng Yuheng was not seriously ill, but was overly tired. He slept for three days and three nights in the mansion. When he woke up three days later, he opened his eyes and saw the concerned faces of Xu and Qin.
She rubbed her eyes, almost thinking she was dreaming. Then she finally came to her senses, sat up excitedly and hugged the two of them.
She had been fighting alone all along. Although she still had Xuan Tianming in the capital, there were only a few relatives left. She had imagined many times how great it would be if the Feng family could be like the Yao family. Unfortunately, she was destined not to have that blessing. In the end, even her own mother abandoned her.
Feng Yuheng always felt that she had failed in dealing with family relationships, but she didn't expect that after coming to Ji'an County, her two aunts would leave their big mess at home and come to take care of her. She was so moved that she cried like a child, causing Xu to cry as well. Qin pinched her face and said affectionately: "You are so old, and you will have your coming-of-age ceremony in more than two months. Why are you crying like a child?" Although she said that, Qin's eyes were also filled with tears.
The Yao family had no daughters in this generation, only Feng Yuheng, their granddaughter, and they should have favored her. Unfortunately, this child was ambitious on her own, without the help of the Yao family, and fought for such a good future for herself. Thinking back to the beginning, it was the Yao family that implicated her, and made her suffer so much in the mountains for nothing. Fortunately, now the hard work has paid off. Qin told Feng Yuheng: "No matter whether you can catch up with the wedding when you have the coming-of-age ceremony, we have to organize the coming-of-age ceremony well."
Xu also told Feng Yuheng, "We should have arrived a few days ago. The reason for the delay was that on the day we left the mansion, the carriage had already left the capital, but was stopped by the secret guards in the mansion. It turned out that Madam Zhou from Prince Yu's mansion went to the Yao family specially! Not only did she go, but who else can you guess who came with her?"
Feng Yuheng thought about it, blinked and said, "Could it be that Concubine Yun in the palace secretly left the palace again?"
Xu nodded, "It is indeed Concubine Yun who came to the house, but she did not come secretly. Instead, she came to the Yao Mansion with the emperor's permission as the biological mother of His Royal Highness Prince Yu to discuss your marriage."
Qin also said: "Empress Yun is really too beautiful. I have lived for most of my life and have never seen anyone as beautiful as her at her age. No wonder the emperor has been thinking about her for so many years."
Xu held Feng Yuheng's hand and said, "Ah Heng, although we haven't had much contact, we in the Yao family can see that Concubine Yun treats you sincerely and thinks about you in everything. Such a noble lady in the palace came out of the palace to our house in person to express her importance to this marriage, and also to send a large number of precious betrothal gifts to the Yao Mansion on behalf of the emperor."
Feng Yuheng stroked his forehead, "Didn't I pay the betrothal gift in the first place? The Princess Mansion in the capital was given to me by Xuan Tianming!"
Xu shook her head and said, "Empress Yun said that since you were given the title of Princess, the Emperor should have granted you a mansion. How can you just change your mansion and hang up a plaque? In fact, the royal family owes you a house. They said that you can choose the one you like after you return to the capital. You have to move out no matter if there are other people living there or not."
"Yes!" Qin said, "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yu gave our Ah Heng a private betrothal gift, but the betrothal gift that Concubine Yun brought from the palace this time is said to be more valuable than the previous one. The land deeds alone are so thick!" Qin gestured, and Feng Yuheng took a look. It was half a finger high. But it was all paper! The paper could be piled so high, could it be that half of the capital city was given to her?
"The things were carried directly out of the palace, lining up a long street. People from all over the capital gathered to watch the excitement. It was a spectacular sight." Xu sighed, "The fact that Concubine Yun expressed her opinion in this way represents the emperor's opinion. It is a blessing for a woman to have such support from her parents-in-law. Your grandfather also said that he was relieved to see the royal family treat you this way."
Feng Yuheng didn't care how many valuable items there were, they were just the fun stuff in the treasury. If Xuan Tianming became the emperor in the future, those things would all be hers sooner or later. But she did appreciate the kindness of Emperor Tianwu and Concubine Yun, especially since the betrothal gift was given to the Yao family, which meant that the Yao family was also recognized by the royal family as her family, and would also be blessed by the royal family, which was what she valued most.
She told Xu and Qin: "No matter where Ah Heng marries, the Yao family will always be my roots. It's great that the two aunts can come to Ji'an County. I think this new mansion is too big and there is no one to help me manage it. There are still so many things to do in the county. The two aunts can finally help Ah Heng share some of the burden. Ah Heng has relatives to take care of him. This is really a treatment that he has rarely enjoyed in all these years."
Her words made Xu and Qin feel sad. Fortunately, they had already arrived, and Feng Yuheng's life would be taken care of by them in the future. They could finally take care of their niece wholeheartedly as if she were their own daughter. For the Yao family who loved their daughter as their life, this was truly an extremely happy thing!
Feng Yuheng woke up and recovered after another day of recuperation. On the second day after Xu and Qin came to Ji'an County, Bai Qiaojiang and Bai Furong also arrived. Feng Yuheng was very happy. In her opinion, Ji'an County was her territory and her home. She hoped that more relatives and friends would gather here so that she would not feel lonely.
As early as when she received Xuan Tiange's letter, she had already prepared a three-story house for the Bai family. At the same time, she also handed over the jewelry store that she had already chosen a location for but had not yet found the time to start to the Bai family. She told Bai Furong: "Learn to be a shopkeeper. You will also be the housekeeper after you get married. Girls should always have their own livelihood and not be completely dependent on men. Of course, it is necessary to take care of your husband and children, but you should not put all your thoughts on a small house. Only by going out can you see the wider world outside."
Bai Furong lived in the Princess Mansion in the capital for a long time while she was receiving treatment. She had long been brainwashed by Feng Yuheng. Her thoughts were exactly the same as Feng Yuheng's. She wanted to start a new life in Ji'an County, a life that was completely different from the past.
After living to this age and experiencing so many things, Bai Qiaojiang has lost all his confidence in the capital. Even in the twilight years of Tianwu, when the prince seized the throne, such a drama would remind him of Kang Yi and Bai Furong's mother. If she had not helped her brother to seize the throne, she would not have left Furong, who was so young, alone. He hated everything about the royal family that was inhumane, bloody, and without family affection. When Bai Furong proposed to leave the capital and go to Ji'an County to join Feng Yuheng, Bai Qiaojiang immediately nodded in agreement.
Feng Yuheng took them to visit the prepared house first, and then went to the empty shop that she had chosen. She mentioned her idea of using the jade mine to open a jewelry store, and explained that the shop would be handed over to the two of them to run. Because Bai Qiaojiang's name was too big, even if she was an investor, she would only get a small share of the future profits. Feng Yuheng would take 20% and give 80% to the Bai family.
Bai Qiaojiang refused to agree to anything, and even said that all his money would be donated to Xuan Tianming's team. This was what the Bai family owed Feng Yuheng, so how could they take her money?
Finally, under Feng Yuheng's insistence, both parties finally took a step back and redistributed the shares, with Feng Yuheng taking 40% and the Bai family taking 60%.
Furong was no longer polite to her. After all, she was already in Ji'an County, so she just needed to help with more things in the future. There was no need for them to argue too much about money as sisters.
However, Bai Qiaojiang did bring up a topic that he must ask Feng Yuheng about, which was about Bai Furong's "boyfriend", Bai Ze beside Xuan Tianming...
