Chapter 58: The Betrayal That Came Out of Nowhere

  Shen's family was so frightened that they retreated several steps, stuttering and saying: "I don't have any silver hidden away! This large Feng Mansion, every corner needs expenses, the silver is all spent on this mansion. Besides... besides, I said 50,000 to 60,000 was just an estimate, a casual remark!" She had an idea, "I was provoked by that cheap maid! I was so angry that I said whatever came out of my mouth! Master, you also know my temper, when I'm anxious, I say whatever comes to mind, it's really just nonsense!"

  Feng Jin thought about it and felt that Shen Shi was indeed a brainless person who would say anything when forced into a corner, so he couldn't help but believe it a little.

  Feng Yu Heng didn't rush, only softly saying: "It's fine, today I coincidentally met the Emperor at the palace gate. The Emperor saw that managing the store is tiring for me and said that tomorrow he will send someone to help me check the accounts. Once all the account books are checked, it will naturally be clear that mother is innocent."

  "Second sister!" Feng Chenyu felt that if she didn't do something, her mother's position would be in jeopardy! If Shen Shi fell, what would she be considered as the eldest daughter? So she quickly said: "Regardless of whether it was Mother's fault or not, Sister is apologizing to you here. As for those silver coins..." She turned her head towards Feng Jinyuan, "If Father sympathizes with his daughter and is willing to give more dowry when his daughter gets married, can his daughter use some of the dowry in advance to compensate Second Sister?"

  Feng Jin was deeply moved for a moment, his eldest daughter was really too sensible.

  "Submerged fish." He gently patted the submerged fish's shoulder, "Your father said that no matter what, you can't be wronged. Your dowry will be the face of the Feng family in the future, and no one will dare to slight it." As he spoke, he looked at Feng Yuexiang.

  "Feng Yu Huan raised an eyebrow: 'What does Father think I'm doing? Ah Huan didn't say she wanted the elder sister's dowry. In any case, tomorrow the Royal Palace will definitely send someone to help me check the account book, and I'll take a stand first. If it's found that we indeed lost money, then the family will make up for the losses that were supplemented by Father and Grandmother. If it's found that there are profits, then I won't want any of that money, and it will be considered as compensation for not being filial to Father and Grandmother all these years.' She looked at Xiang Rong and Fen Dai again and added: 'Ah Huan also hopes to use some of that money to supplement the dowry for both younger sisters.'"

  Fen Dai loved hearing such words and immediately felt happy, responding in a crisp voice: "Thank you, Second Sister!"

  Xiang Rong also stood up and saluted, saying softly: "Thank you, Second Sister."

  Han's covered her mouth and chuckled for a while, then turned to the old lady and said: "Madam said that the shop can earn 500,000 to 600,000 yuan a year. Even if there is some exaggeration, it shouldn't be losing money. I really want to thank Second Miss on behalf of Fourth Miss, and thank you for your concern, Old Madam."

  Feng Yuexiang knew that she wouldn't be able to get back the profits from previous years, so she decided to distribute the benefits evenly. Wealth gathers people, wealth disperses and people gather, this principle she still understood. This time not only did she think of Rong Huan and Fen Dai, but also said it was to show filial piety to her father and grandmother. Feng Jin Yuan might not be able to swallow his pride to ask for money, but the old lady would definitely take advantage of this opportunity.

  As expected - "Tomorrow, I'll have the people from the Royal Palace investigate thoroughly. If there's indeed a surplus, Shen Shi, mark my words: within ten days, you must make up for all the missing silver!"

  The old lady's one sentence announced the final solution to this incident. Shen was powerless to refute, and Feng Chenyu didn't know what else she could do, these two women only felt that they were mentally exhausted by Feng Yuhuan's manipulation.

  The two women exchanged a glance, and both saw a message in each other's eyes: Get rid of Feng Yuexiang.

  That night, the lamp was dimly lit. In the Tongsheng Pavilion, Feng Yuhuang handed a dose of medicine to Huang Quan: "Take it to the Jinyu Yard and give it to Manxi. Remember, go secretly, don't let anyone see you."

  Huang Quan stood up and led the spirit: "Is that Manxi our person?"

  Feng Yu nodded: "Right. From now on, this thing needs to be delivered every five days, you remember to remind me."

  "The servant replied: 'I remember, I'll go now.'"

  The yellow spring hastily departed, without going through the main gate, and it was unknown where it had wandered around in twists and turns until its shadow disappeared.

  When she came back, she brought back the joyful news: "Miss, Manxi said that Shen's family had secretly sent someone to deliver a message to her mother's house, but didn't know what was written on it. She said that Shen's maternal relatives are now in the capital, and it will probably take no more than an hour for the message to be delivered."

  Feng Yu Huan was very pleased when Man Xi was able to pass on such news.

  "Want to take it down?"

  She shook her head, "No need, it just so happens that I also want to meet the people of the Shen family and see what kind of skills this royal merchant family has."

  "Alright." Huang Quan didn't say anything more and after attending to Feng Yu's ablutions, he retreated.

  Feng Yu Huan was still not used to leaving a night watch, even after the incident with Feng Zi Hao, and despite Yao Shi's repeated advice, she still felt that having someone sitting by her bedside made it impossible for her to fall asleep.

  Besides, if someone really wanted to kill her every night, she could just sleep in the pharmacy's rest room at night.

  Thinking of her pharmacy, it naturally comes to mind Xuan Tian Ming's leg.

  Although it's much better than what the outside world has said, to be honest, Feng Yu Heng didn't have too much confidence in being able to cure her severe comminuted fractures of both legs during this era where medical equipment was scarce.

  She stroked her belly and flashed into the space, rushing straight to the second floor.

  The second floor of the pharmacy mainly deals with medical auxiliary supplies, and has some simple medical equipment. Most importantly, there is a surgical case in the rest room that she always prepares, which not only has all kinds of surgical knives, but also some commonly used surgical supplies.

  Feng Yu Huan rummaged through the box and soon picked out a few steel nails for fixing bones, as well as several meat nails. She then went to a private counter outside and retrieved some plaster for her leg.

  Although these are far from enough for a formal operation, there is no way out. In an emergency situation, what is being gambled with is not equipment, but technique.

  She believes she is a technical player, and when she was on the battlefield in the Middle East years ago, treating her brothers who were rushed out of the emergency, the conditions were much more difficult than they are now. She still managed to save the lives of those brothers whose intestines were flowing all over the ground.

  Feng Yu Huan rummaged through the second floor of the pharmacy, picking and choosing for nearly two hours, before finally preparing everything that could be used to treat Xuan Tian Ming's injuries, including physiological saline, injectable glucose, a set of IV bottles and needles.

  She was really lucky that she had been so attentive to this pharmacy at the time, with all kinds of medicines available; and it was also fortunate that she was greedy enough to occasionally bring some good things from the troops to sell here. She remembered that before crossing over, she had just brought out a batch of medicines that hadn't had time to be labeled with batch numbers and names, and before she could sell them, she herself had blown up along with the plane with a loud "duang" sound.

  Looking at this pharmacy of hers, Feng Yu Heng felt that nothing here should be wasted. In an era without Chinese patent medicine, where everyone was drinking bitter medicinal broth, if she were to slowly sell these medicines, the silver would still flow into her pockets!

  At that time, won't you be able to transform into a white and rich beauty and marry a tall and wealthy handsome man, reaching the pinnacle of life?

  In an instant, it seemed as if the mysterious figure in the wheelchair had stood up again! Ah, finally, that person was standing up for the first time in front of Feng Yuexia... But before he could feel triumphant, a faint noise seemed to be coming from outside.

  Phoenix feathers sweep across her eyebrows, and the nerves that had jumped out of line quickly recoiled, calculating her position. She descended half a floor and moved two steps to the left before she touched the birthmark and returned to reality.

  As she appeared, she was hanging from the beam in the room, and saw a figure cautiously making its way through the outer hall to the inner chamber.

  Feng Yu Huan hooked her two legs around the wooden pillar on the beam, and hung upside down, looking at the figure approaching her bed with a leisurely and carefree attitude as if she was admiring the scenery.

  She swung her body a few times, and then started swinging the swing, just as she was swinging to a certain height, she could jump over the screen in front of the bed and see the movements of the person inside.

  All I saw was that the man walked to the bedside, bent down, and casually threw something under the bed. Then he didn't even look back, hastily turned around and returned to the door, quietly opened it a crack, and squeezed out.

  Feng Yu's final swing sent him flying into the air, where he did a backwards flip before landing smoothly on his feet.

  She exercised her muscles and bones, and was fairly satisfied with this body's first attempt at high-difficulty movements.

  It was just that person who came in earlier...

  Phoenix feathers were tightly knotted between her eyebrows, but she thought for a moment and then untied the knot again.

  Madam Sun, as she had expected.

  The three of them were sent to the northwest for three years, and all the former servants in Feng's mansion were driven out, leaving only Sun Shangshu behind, who can still come back to serve Madame Yao now, which doesn't make sense.

  Just to avoid stirring up trouble, so many things had happened before that Sun Shilian didn't make a move, and Feng Yuexia was hesitant, thinking it over left and right, but the mastermind behind the scenes didn't seem like the Shen family.

  To be honest, her suspicion of Sun Miao was not deep at all, and it was mostly just speculation and reasoning. From an emotional perspective, whether Sun Miao betrayed her or not didn't have much to do with her personally, but if Yao Shi knew the truth, she would probably be very sad.

  However, Feng Yuexian did not intend to deliberately hide the fact that the more she experienced the ruthlessness of this Phoenix Manor, the more disappointed she became. Sooner or later, when she finished everything or suddenly lost interest in everything, she would inevitably leave. By then, Yao Shi and Zi Rui would definitely follow her.

  She gradually cultivated a sense of disappointment in Yao's family, so that she wouldn't be reluctant to part with them when the time came.

  She quickly walked two steps to the bedside, Feng Yuexian squatted down and stretched half of her body under the bed, finally managing to pull out that thing.

  The person walked to the window and, with the faint moonlight coming from outside, saw a small doll with dense sewing needles inserted all over it. Turning the doll over, they saw a piece of paper stuck on it with the three big characters "Feng Zi Hao" written clearly, along with their birthdate below.

  Phoenix plume and jade pendant lost its luster, an old trick.

  But she never thought that although the play was old-fashioned, the other party had prepared a very persuasive medicine for her...

  The next day, I went to Shuya Garden to bid good morning. As Yao Shi and Zi Rui were also going, Sun Niang naturally had to follow and attend to them.

  Feng Yu Huan had been paying attention to her words and actions, but saw that the other party was covering up extremely naturally, if it wasn't for what she saw with her own eyes last night, she wouldn't be able to see any problem at all.

  A group of people walked to Shuya Garden, and as soon as they passed by the small pond in the courtyard, Zi Rui was bumped into by a little maid who rushed over from behind.

  "What's with all the fuss?"

  That girl was Feng Yu Heng, and as soon as she saw her, she let out a "ya" sound. Then, in a hurry, she said: "This matter really does have something to do with Second Miss, Second Miss quickly come with me to see Old Madame!"
