In the evening, Feng Yuheng took Xiangrong and Zirui to Feng Mansion as usual to keep vigil. Before leaving, they passed by Yao's yard and casually asked a servant what Yao was doing. The servant told her: "Madam is in the Buddha's house.
I recited sutras in the hall, saying that I recited them for the old lady of the Feng family."
Feng Yuheng stopped, glanced into the yard, and then put Zi Rui's hand into Xiang Rong's: "You take Zi Rui over first, I'll go see my mother, and then I'll be there." After that, she took Huang Quanwang with her.
Chuan walked straight to the Buddhist hall.
The little maid said that Mr. Yao has been chanting sutras whenever he has free time these days. The doctor Yao said it several times to no avail, so he stopped talking. When Mr. Yao recited the sutras, the doctor Yao went to Zi Rui's small study, and the two of them
Not much communication.
Feng Yuheng knew that Yao Xian was not very close to the Yao family, so she didn't force herself too much. When she entered the Buddhist hall, she just finished reciting a sutra by Yao family and turned around to look at her.
She left the maids outside, went in, helped Yao up, and advised softly: "My mother is not in good health either. Please do less chanting in the future! The most important thing in life is to be kind-hearted.
, live with a clear conscience so that you will not go to the eighteen levels of hell after death, rather than relying on the living to recite sutras every day."
Mrs. Yao sighed, took Feng Yuheng's hand and said: "She and I used to have a good relationship with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She was just a little greedy. Apart from driving us to the northwest, she didn't do many harmful things. Aheng,
What happened in the past is in the past, and now that everyone is gone, you can stop worrying about her."
Feng Yuheng looked at Mrs. Yao, with a faint smile still on her face, but sighing softly in her heart. She knew that Mrs. Yao was enjoying her current life, especially now that Yao Xian was back, she felt even more at ease. That Feng Mansion
She did hate it, but after all, Yao was different from her. She didn't have that kind of jealousy. It was the greatest courage she could muster to reconcile with Feng Jinyuan with the imperial edict. Now that things have changed, she feels that her life is better.
, and no longer hold grudges.
But Yao didn't know that those three years in the northwest cost her real daughter her life. The real Feng Yuheng would never come back.
But she couldn't say this to Yao, let alone persuade him to continue to hate Feng Mansion. Since Yao chose to forget and forgive, let her do it. Although Feng Yuheng never agreed that "forgiveness is the greatest virtue"
, but he didn’t want to use his own thoughts to influence Yao’s thoughts. He could only persuade him a few more words, then left the Buddhist hall and hurried to Feng Mansion.
Today, many people from the younger generation came to the mourning hall, including Fendai. Although her injuries were not healed yet and she still needed two maids to support her when walking. She could not even kneel straight in front of the old lady’s coffin. But she
He kowtowed three times to the old lady seriously, and then the maid helped him to put on three sticks of incense.
Feng Jinyuan was here tonight, standing aside with his hands behind his back, watching Fendai nodding repeatedly. After Fendai finished offering the incense, he spoke: "Your grandmother was beaten to death by the mob, and you were the one who blocked her at the last moment.
This injury was suffered to protect your grandmother, and the Feng family will always remember it."
As soon as he said this, except for Fendai, everyone else almost made him vomit. Not to mention the young master and the young lady, even the servants who were keeping watch raised their heads and looked at them with incredible eyes.
The big masters all had three words reflected in their eyes: Shameless.
But soon, Feng Jinyuan's next words made them realize another level of "shameless" - especially shameless. They heard Feng Jinyuan say: "Being able to sacrifice one's life to protect my grandmother is a sign of being a human being.
The most important qualities for descendants, the Feng family is proud of you, and my father is also proud of you."
When Fendai heard Feng Jinyuan speak like this, her whole body trembled. Of course, she was trembling because of excitement. As a concubine, she was the youngest concubine and the one with the lowest biological mother status.
Apart from scolding her, she had never looked at her in the eye. But today, in front of all the children of the Feng family and in front of the old lady's coffin, she was given such great recognition that she almost couldn't bear it.
.
She knew in her heart that this affirmation came entirely from the fifth prince's marriage contract, but no matter what the reason was, this was Feng Jinyuan's attitude. This showed that since then, her status in the Feng family has been completely improved, and even in the
This father who has always set his sights high will also have a place in his heart.
With the help of the maid, Fendai knelt down in front of Feng Jinyuan again, suppressing her excitement and said: "Thank you father for the compliment, this...this is what a daughter should do. My grandmother loved our sisters very much during her lifetime, and my daughter cannot look at her under any circumstances.
My grandmother was beaten by the mob, but unfortunately, my daughter’s body is too weak to block all the punches and kicks for my grandmother. This is the pain in my daughter’s heart!” She said while wiping away tears.
At this time, I heard the man who was kneeling in front of the brazier burning paper trying to contain himself and said: "Isn't my grandmother poisoned to death? Now Mr. Jingzhao Yinxu is still investigating the matter, why did my father and fourth sister come to a conclusion again?"
For beating to death?"
Her words reminded everyone, and Feng Jinyuan was also agitated. Yes, there was something fishy about the old lady's death, and he had to get a result on this matter.
When he thought of this, the anger on Feng Jinyuan's face resurfaced. He turned to look at Feng Yuheng and asked, "Is there any news from Jing Zhaoyin?"
Feng Yuheng shook her head, "No." Then she added, "I thought my father had forgotten all about it."
"Humph!" Feng Jinyuan got angry as soon as he spoke to her, and the area on his forehead where Yao Xian threw him began to hurt again. He simply didn't look at Feng Yuheng, but stepped forward and personally helped Fendai off the ground.
He stood up and selectively forgot about the fact that he had kicked his daughter. He just held Fendai's hand and said sincerely - "There are many things at home. Although you are still young, what the Fifth Highness has promised you is the right thing to do."
As a concubine, you will have to take care of the affairs of the house as soon as you get married, and this is not something you can do in a day or two. So, Fendai, from now on, you must learn more about how to manage a house and how to worry about things at home."
Fendai nodded, "My father has worked hard, and my daughter understands it. My daughter..." She wanted to say that now there are two mothers running the family, and there is also a legitimate daughter who will interfere, so she has no share. She even thought
She wanted to take this opportunity to see if Feng Jinyuan would change the position of the legitimate daughter to her, but a girl named Dongying who came with her understood what she was thinking, was startled, and quickly pinched her
She touched her arm as a reminder. Fendai quickly regained her senses when she arrived, abandoned her previous thoughts, and changed to: "My daughter will definitely learn how to run a house from her two mothers, and she will also learn how to manage a house from her second sister."
Be a qualified princess."
Zi Rui asked in confusion: "Is it possible that the fourth sister also knows how to make steel? Does she also know the art of war and archery?"
Fendai was stunned and didn't react for a moment, so she said casually: "No way!"
Zi Rui added: "If you don't know these things, how can you be a qualified princess like my second sister!"
Fendai was embarrassed for a while.
Feng Jinyuan couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded Zi Rui: "What do children know? Why don't you shut up!" Then he said to Fen Dai: "You don't need to learn from her, she has never done it herself, so how can she
You know how to be a princess. What’s more, a woman is in charge of the family and is running around outside every day. How can she be worthy of the title of princess!"
Zi Rui had no intention of arguing with him, so he finally said: "But senior brother once said that my sister is the girl who is most worthy of His Highness Ninth Prince." Then he said nothing.
But just this sentence, there is no need to block Feng Jinyuan. He is most afraid of his second daughter having a father and a father, and he is also most afraid of his only son having a senior brother and a senior brother, because every time this happens
At this time, no matter how angry he was, he had to suppress it immediately.
Now, the elder sister is silent, and the younger brother has inherited all the skills of gagging and heart-stopping her. Feng Jinyuan feels that she is really losing her status in front of these two siblings.
He didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he simply pretended that he hadn't heard anything. Then he turned to Feng Fendai and said, "It's right to learn more from your mother. They understand the rules in the palace better. You must learn and do it."
As the prince's concubine, there will be many opportunities to enter the palace in the future, so you can't be negligent." Seeing Fendai nodding obediently, Feng Jinyuan finally regained his self-esteem, he coughed twice and said again: "
Learning to manage a family cannot wait until later, it must start now. Your grandmother was poisoned and died. You will represent the Feng family in this matter. Go to His Highness Fifth Prince and ask if there is any progress on Jing Zhaoyin's side.
Please help us urge it, Your Highness, and we must give an explanation to our family."
Fendai was particularly excited. This excitement came because she could finally do something for the Feng family as a representative of the Feng family. You know, in the past, this kind of thing had always been done by the mistress or the legitimate daughter.
How could a concubine have such an opportunity? But now that Feng Jinyuan has given this task to her, it means that in Feng Jinyuan's heart, she regards her as a legitimate daughter, and even she is really the future of the Feng family.
I hope that a mere fifth-grade official's house can produce a prince's true concubine. Feng Fendai can almost see the scene where even her father will kneel down to her in a few years.
The second reason that made her so excited was because she could finally meet the fifth prince openly. That was the person who changed her destiny. She must hold that person firmly in her hands. She must not
give up.
Fendai suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and said to Feng Jinyuan: "Don't worry, father, my daughter will go to Prince Li's Mansion to meet His Highness the Fifth Prince tomorrow morning. We must not let my grandmother die in an unknown way."
Feng Jinyuan nodded, then looked at Fendai and said, "You also need to take good care of your body. When your grandmother passes away in the future, you will go to support her."
Fendai was stunned, "Fu Ling?" Then when she saw her father nodded again, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart. Fortunately, her girl Dongying pinched her hard again, so Fendai could not control her laughter.
The sound comes.
Fu Ling, this is a right that only legitimate sons and daughters can enjoy!
She glanced at Feng Yuheng and saw that Feng Yuheng was looking at Feng Jinyuan in confusion, and asked: "Father, are you sure you want the fourth sister to support the spirit?"
Feng Jinyuan snorted, "Of course I am sure."
But at this moment, they heard footsteps approaching outside the mourning hall. Everyone turned to look, and saw the butler He Zhong rushing in with an anxious look on his face. When he got in front of Feng Jinyuan, he didn't even bother to be polite and said:
"Sir, what's wrong, that distant father-in-law from the palace is here again!"
