Chapter 14: The Ninth Prince Has Run into Trouble

  Feng Jin Yuan withdrew his gaze, he didn't know when this daughter had become so unpredictable. As soon as she returned to the manor, a few words would provoke Shen Shi's temper, while she herself seemed like an outsider watching from the shore.

  "Old lady!" Seeing that it was impossible to communicate with Feng Jiyuan, Shen Shi turned around and went to find a breakthrough from the old lady.

  As for Feng Jin Yuan's sudden change of mind to leave the three Yao family members behind, Old Lady was also puzzled and unwilling. But she didn't seem as heartless as Shen Shi, just now her son made the decision after listening to Guan Jia's whispers, something must have happened outside.

  She glared at Shen Shi, and the ruler tapped on the ground again: "When did your family's master's decision become something you can say no to? Chen Yu, escort your mother back."

  The old lady made her position clear, and Feng Chenyu no longer dared to let Shen Shi be arrogant. She leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Mother, rest assured, Father will have his own plan and will not treat Chen Yu unfairly."

  She cast a surreptitious glance at the old lady's angry face, and then, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, followed her daughter out of the room with mixed feelings of doubt and suspicion.

  As he passed by the young Feng Zirui, the fire in his chest seemed to be about to burst out again, and he fiercely pushed Feng Zirui with a shove.

  The little kid couldn't withstand her push, Feng Zirui retreated two steps back and fell to the ground with a thud.

  Although it hurt a lot from the fall, she didn't cry, but instead bit her lip tightly with her teeth, and clenched her small fists, panting slightly.

  Feng Yu Huan and Yao Shi helped Feng Zi Rui up, Yao Shi's heart ached as she wiped away tears, while Feng Yu Huan let out a soft sigh, using a voice that seemed like self-muttering yet was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear: "Indeed, we've had nothing but disasters and hardships. The carriage driver suddenly died on the way, and now we can't even rest easy back at the manor. It would be better if we just stayed in the mountain village."

  She mentioned that when the rickshaw driver died suddenly, she deliberately took a look at other people's reactions.

  With a glance, he caught sight of Shen Shi and Feng Chen Yu's unnatural stiffening as they were about to step out the door, before hastily leaving the main hall.

  The old lady didn't have any obvious reaction, but Feng Yuexiang caught a glimpse of it and found that Feng Jinyuan's pupils had a fierce contraction.

  She sneered, having already counted her gains in her heart.

  On the way back to Liu Garden, Feng Yuexian kept guessing what Guan Jiahe had said to Feng Qinyuan. She could tell that when Shen's family proposed sending her to the temple, Feng Qinyuan was moved, including the old lady.

  She left the palace and entered the temple, which opened up endless possibilities again.

  After some thought, neither the murder on the way nor the death of Yao Shi or Feng Zi Rui could be attributed to them. Yao Shi was already a concubine, the daughter of a guilty minister, and even if she returned to the mansion, there was no chance of her turning things around. Although Feng Zi Rui was a boy, he had an older brother, Feng Zi Hao, born to Shen Shi, so the family property would not fall to him.

  Feng Yu Huan was even more certain that all of this was directed at her, and even the departure from the manor three years ago was not simply because the Feng family wanted to avoid the dislike of the Yao family.

  She walked all the way in silence, Yao worried and asked softly: "Ah Huang, are you too tired from rushing on the road? How..."

  "Huh?" She came back to herself and looked at Mrs. Yao, "Mother, what were you going to say?"

  "Earlier in the main hall, how did you become so sharp?"

  "Hmph." She raised the corner of her mouth in a smile, "In the past we followed every arrangement made by the Feng family, but what did it bring us in the end? Haven't you had enough of these few years in Xiping Village, Mother?"

  Mentioning Xiping Village, Yao's temper was gone. Those three years had indeed worn out all her hopes, and the reason she chose to return to this Feng Mansion was just to find a good future for her two children. With the Feng family as the master, it's better than being in a mountain village.

  Following her back, Sun's wife asked about Master Yao's attitude towards the Feng family and asked: "What did Master say about that cart driver?"

  Yao sighed and didn't respond. Feng Yu Heng stretched out her arm and patted Sun Shi's shoulder, "Father and Grandmother don't have a single word of concern for us." Being forced to speak in a refined manner made her very uncomfortable, so she changed to her usual way of speaking: "They basically don't care about our lives or deaths. They can't even be bothered to pretend to care. So, Mother, Shi, let's not hope that the Feng manor will treat us well. If they're not secretly plotting against us, it's already a blessing."

  These words were also said to Yao's family, this mother she must find an opportunity to slowly open it up, now is not the time, at present she is worried about that housekeeper and Feng Jin Yuan whispering.

  Since Feng Jin Yuan changed his mind and let them stay in the Feng Mansion, it means that he temporarily agreed to her marriage with the Ninth Prince. But why did Feng Jin Yuan suddenly change his mind about this good marriage, which the Feng family had previously tried every means to arrange for Feng Chen Yu?

  She thought of the army steeped in sorrowful atmosphere, the only possibility...

  Feng Yu Huan suddenly stopped in her tracks, Zi Rui didn't stop and stumbled forward. Yao Shi also looked at her with confusion, but she had a tight frown on her face and remained silent.

  But one thought kept swirling in his mind - The Ninth Prince is in trouble!
