Chapter 267 My mother-in-law is a loyal servant (11)
Feng Yanting was almost aggrieved.
In the days that followed, he doubted every day: Am I still grandma’s biological son? Am I her darling?
Why did Aniang suddenly become more fond of the eldest lady of the Wei family?
Obviously I am her biological flesh and blood.
There are also madam and grandma. In the past in the Hou Mansion, madam and grandma also loved him the most.
To put it bluntly, he was crying, even if he showed a slightly unhappy expression, the two elders would feel very distressed.
Sometimes, even the distinguished Miss Wei has to be a little courteous to herself.
But now, everything is reversed, the favored person becomes Wei Yuanniang.
It’s just grandma and grandma, why are my wife and grandma both——
Feng Yanting is still young, he doesn't understand many things, he just feels wronged!
However, what He Tiantian accidentally said to Feng Zhongliang was deeply remembered in his heart.
"...I also learned from my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is so loyal. Even though she had the opportunity to leave the Hou Mansion, she still stayed by Mrs. Hou's side and never left her. This kind of character is really commendable!"
"Not to mention me, that person named Qian also praised our grandma a lot!"
What He Tiantian said is mainly daily brainwashing.
A lie repeated a thousand times will become the truth.
If she said the same thing every day, Feng Zhongliang, Feng Yanting and others would believe it, thinking that she would give Wei Yuanniang extra preferential treatment just for the word "loyalty".
And the reason why she is so "loyal" is because she imitates others.
Alas, there is no other way. She has a mother-in-law who can be called a model of a loyal servant to set her example. As a filial daughter-in-law, of course she must study hard.
The right way is to be better than blue and better than blue!
Feng Yanting: ...Inexplicably, he suddenly felt resentful towards Aunt Zhao.
Blame you!
It's all your fault!
My father has already left his nationality and is a decent citizen.
The result is that it is because of you, my parents, who spend all their wealth to protect Mrs. Zhang, and who care deeply about Wei Yuanniang without caring about her biological son!
Mrs. Zhang was also angered by Feng Yanting.
What benefactor?
Yes, Mrs. Zhang is indeed kind to the Feng family, but no matter how great the kindness is, my grandfather’s life will be repaid.
But as for Mrs. Zhang, she was still showing off the master's money to the Feng family.
Aunt Zhao is her slave, and the contract of sale is in her hand. It is her duty to serve her.
But what about Feng Zhongliang and "Gu Xiuniang"?
They used all their wealth to help Mrs. Zhang manage their affairs. For such loyalty and kindness, Mrs. Zhang not only did not feel the least bit grateful, but also acted as if it was a matter of course.
Faced with the ardent care of Feng Zhongliang and his wife, she still maintained the aloof, dignified and decent Mrs. Hou style!
Humph! Why?
She really thinks she is Mrs. Hou!
Now you are not even as good as a commoner, you, you are a guilty person!
Of course, such resentment is not very deep.
Only when Feng Yanting saw how eagerly Feng Zhongliang and his wife served Mrs. Zhang and her daughter, and heard Feng Zhongliang lamenting how much money was spent, would he complain from the bottom of his heart about Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao.
However, this resentment and resentment quietly took root and sprouted in Feng Yanting's heart like a seed.
"Oh, today I gave another one hundred taels of silver to the man named Qian. Aniang is right, madam, they really can't survive it anymore. Buy a carriage and let them take turns to sit in the carriage. At least they can survive.
.”
On this day, Feng Zhongliang sighed softly to He Tiantian again.
"...There is nothing we can do about this. We can't just watch Madam and the others die from exhaustion."
He Tiandian nodded and agreed with understanding.
While she was talking, she did not forget to steal a glance at Feng Yanting.
Sure enough, he saw a look of disgust on the increasingly silent child's face, and He Tiantian curled her lips in satisfaction.
For a long time, Feng Zhongliang rarely mentioned how he helped the Hou Mansion in front of his children.
After He Tiantian came through, he consciously guided Feng Zhongliang and became accustomed to telling the Feng family's sacrifices in front of Feng Yanting.
Sure enough, after hearing with his own ears how much money the Feng family spent on the Hou Mansion, almost to the point of bankruptcy, Feng Yanting, a four or five-year-old child, also began to feel disgust and hatred towards Mrs. Hou, who he had always respected.
You must know that in the original script, Feng Yanting accepted his life experience so happily. In addition to the nobility of the Hou family, his deep relationship with Mrs. Hou and Aunt Zhao also played an important role.
The reason why Feng Yanting was so "rational" and "calm" in dealing with his adoptive mother who had raised him for more than ten years was because Feng Zhongliang and Gu Xiuniang paid too much attention to and loved Feng Yanting.
They protected Feng Yanting very well. Even when he was being escorted to Beijing by the Hou Mansion, they never let him have too much contact with the cruelty of reality and the cruelty of the human heart.
Feng Zhongliang and his wife almost never mentioned the Feng family's contribution to the Hou Mansion and their "repayment" to Mrs. Zhang in front of Feng Yanting.
The most important point is that no matter how difficult the Feng family's family situation became, Feng Yanting never suffered any injustice.
Feng Zhongliang spent all the money from selling his property, so Gu Xiuniang made money from embroidery.
Feng Yanting has always lived a prosperous and leisurely life, and has never worried about money.
But now, under the guidance of He Tiantian, Feng Zhongliang did not hide anything.
Feng Yanting knew a lot of things. The Feng family originally had tens of thousands of properties, but they almost spent them all because of protecting the Hou Mansion and Mrs. Zhang.
Of course, what really made Feng Yanting feel resentful towards the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhang and others was that his interests were encroached upon by the Hou Mansion.
Not just family property, but also mother's preference.
Wei Yuanniang is also from the Hou Mansion, and she is Mrs. Zhang's only daughter.
As a result, just because my grandmother remembered Mrs. Zhang's kindness, not only did she stay by Mrs. Zhang's side and work like a cow, she also used up all the Feng family's property, and even Feng Yanting's quality of life plummeted.
There are no more snacks because the eldest lady wants to eat.
There is no more meat and fish, because the eldest lady needs to supplement her nutrition.
Even when telling stories and making clothes, we still have to keep a close eye on the eldest lady.
Feng Yanting went from a beloved and praised child to a slave named Yangzi who needed to repay his benefactor!
Moreover, looking at the crazy look of grandma and grandma, Feng Yanting will probably have to bear the burden of "repaying kindness" when he grows up.
Feng Yanting:......
Ahhh!
Why should he bear this?!
Feng Yanting's young heart began to scream desperately.
Amid Feng Yanting's growing resentment, the group finally arrived in the capital.
Seeing Lieutenant Qian escorting everyone in the Hou Mansion to the prison, and even Wei Yuanniang, who had been held in her mother's arms, was sent to the cell, Feng Yanting finally let out a long breath.
Great! Finally sent these people away!
Will the Feng family be able to live peacefully in the future?
Can his mother-in-law turn back to the gentle and loving person she once was?!
However, Feng Yanting later discovered that he had been relieved too early.
When everyone in the Hou Mansion was being taken to the prison, Nanny Zhao tried her best to wink at Feng Zhongliang.
Feng Zhongliang nodded knowingly.
Feng Yanting keenly captured the eye contact between her grandmother and father, and his eyes became dark and inexplicable.
In the days that followed, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was waiting for the fate of Emperor Chengtai. Feng Zhongliang rented a small courtyard near the Yamen of Dali Temple, hurriedly settled in, and began to leave early and return late.
Feng Yanting had a guess in his mind, but he still pretended to be curious and asked He Tiantian: "Mom, what did dad do?"
"Alas, Marquis Pingnan was wrongly accused. Your grandma had already ordered your father to go to Beijing and seek help from some old relatives in law in the Marquis' residence to intercede!"
"Besides, the prison is too dirty. Madam and the others are all noble people, how can they endure such suffering? Your father will inevitably have to deal with it!"
Ask someone for help? Manage the prison?!
Feng Yanting didn't understand this, but he knew that every time A Niang showed such a sad expression, it meant that these things cost money!
Spend money! Spend money! Spend money again!
Their family has no money anymore.
I don't even have the money to buy a small courtyard, so I can only rent such a shabby and small courtyard.
Wow, I think back when I was in the southwest, their woodshed was even more spacious and cleaner than this small yard!
Feng Yanting became increasingly angry.
However, He Tiantian continued to stimulate the male protagonist, "There is also the eldest lady. Her injuries are not fully healed yet. Madam has too much time to take care of herself. Your grandma is getting older. The eldest lady is so small, how can she live in prison?
Go down?"
Feng Yanting:...Eldest lady, eldest lady, eldest lady again!
His envy, jealousy and hatred for Wei Yuanniang had really reached its peak.
As a result, this was not enough!
Feng Yanting was led by He Tiantian and came to the prison to deliver food and clothes to Mrs. Zhang and Wei Yuanniang.
During this period, Feng Yanting saw with his own eyes that his mother-in-law was groveling and begging in every possible way to several vulgar and overbearing female guards.
Recently, although Feng Yanting blamed his mother for not loving him as much as before, he could also understand that her mother did not do this on purpose.
Grandma wants to repay her kindness, and as a daughter-in-law, Grandma can only follow the example of her mother-in-law. She still loves herself in her heart, but just to repay her kindness, she has to pay special attention to the eldest lady.
Deep down in Feng Yanting's heart, he still respected and loved his own mother very much.
Now seeing his mother being so aggrieved for the sake of the people in the Hou Mansion that he didn't like, Feng Yanting felt a little sad.
The resentment towards the Hou Mansion also increased a bit.
And when this resentment reached its peak, the saint finally surrendered to the Hou Mansion: the whole family was exiled.
Of course, it can be redeemed.
Just as Aunt Zhao had guessed before, as soon as Emperor Chengtai's decree was issued, the natal family of the Tai Madam and several other female family members began to take action.
They bought out the daughters of their respective families and helped their sons-in-law (nephews) take care of themselves, so that even if they were exiled, they could go to a better place and suffer less punishment on the way.
Only Mrs. Zhang’s natal family did not take any action.
It's not that the Zhang family doesn't feel sorry for their daughter, it's that the Zhang family was also humiliated by Emperor Chengtai.
The Zhang family is also going to be exiled, and they hope that others will come to rescue them. How can they care about Mrs. Zhang and her daughter.
Therefore, we can only rely on Feng Zhongliang.
But, the Feng family really has no money.
Feng Zhongliang guarded more than ten taels of silver and was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night long.
He Tiantian sighed and began to sell off her jewelry and fur clothes.
Perhaps there is no end to the road. Just when the couple was in every possible difficulty, He Tiantian was packing up her belongings and "accidentally" discovered that there was a box of gold and silver barley and red barley in Feng Yanting's toy box.
sapphire.
"...This is what Madam gave me!" Feng Yanting was unwilling to take it out.
Although he is young, because He Tiantian pushed him out of the greenhouse in advance, he knows the warmth and coldness of human nature and various realities.
He was already smart, but his experiences during this period did not cause him to suffer a psychological breakdown, but instead made him become precocious and alert.
He Tiantian: ...The male protagonist will definitely not be defeated easily.
When he encounters setbacks, he will only become stronger instead of being defeated!
The precocious Feng Yanting already knew the importance of money and the plight of the Feng family.
He knew very well that the box of gold and silver he had secretly hidden might be the last hope for his family.
With this money, they can buy a house, buy a field, and set up a business store for their father, and then he can study smoothly in the future.
But if the money is used to "repay a favor", the Feng family will have no benefit at all except having more ancestors!
As for buying a house, studying, etc., don't even think about it.
Feng Yanting instinctively refused.
But no matter how smart he is, he is still just a child.
In the eyes of many parents, their children are their appendages.
Even if the child is one's own, then the child's "private house" should also belong to the parents!
"You also said that these were given to you by the madam. Now that daddy is taking these to rescue the madam, it can be regarded as returning them to their original owners and putting them to their best use!"
He Tiantian reasoned with Feng Yanting softly.
Feng Zhongliang doesn't have so much nonsense.
He is indeed honest, but he is also a feudal man at heart.
What belongs to children?
It doesn't matter if the children are kept to play with when they are not needed at home.
But now that his family is in dire straits and they are in urgent need of money to save others, Feng Zhongliang can't care too much.
He snatched the box directly from Feng Yanting's arms and walked out without saying a word or looking back.
The things were pawned and Mrs. Zhang, Aunt Zhao, and Wei Yuanniang were all redeemed.
In addition, under Mrs. Zhang's "order", two concubines, three concubines, and a personal maid, Feng Zhongliang also reluctantly paid the ransom.
After a lot of trouble, after all the redemption, Feng Zhongliang only had enough money to rent two small courtyards.
Originally, Feng Zhongliang only wanted to rent one, but after all, he had no money and the province would save money.
But Mrs. Zhang disagrees. She is Mrs. Hou. In the past, she had no choice but to accept it. Now that she has been redeemed, she has begun to be particular.
Feng Yanting: ...It’s not your money, you, of course you don’t feel bad.
Seeing the group of people behind Mrs. Zhang, Feng Yanting's resentment towards Mrs. Zhang really reached its peak.
These were all exchanged for my private collection.
Feng Yanting felt that he had suffered a loss just by buying out Mrs. Zhang and her daughter.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang went even further and brought out all the concubines, concubines, and maids.
She just didn't want to think about how they would live in the future if all the money was used to redeem people.
And Feng Yanting, he still wants to study.
But now, the Feng family can't even afford the most ordinary private school training.
"...My son, don't worry, grandma will think of a way!"
He Tiantian never wanted to abuse Feng Yanting, let alone drive him to evil.
She just wanted Feng Yanting to see some facts clearly and know some "truth"...
