Chapter 51: Im Not Here to Pay My Respects, Im Here to Settle Accounts

  She personally arranged the rooms, with the innermost courtyard for Mrs. Yao to live in, the second one for herself, and the outermost one for Zi Rui to live in. Each courtyard has a sufficient main house and wing room, enough to accommodate the lower people.

  She set aside two rooms in her own courtyard to make a small medicine room, and sent someone to build a wall cabinet according to the Chinese medicine hall style, added several tables for display, and also equipped with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

  Apart from this, there were originally two warehouses in the courtyard, which could just hold her dowry.

  Phoenix feathers gazed at the layout of this courtyard, as if it was specially prepared for her, everything was so proper and natural.

  Zi Rui's courtyard originally had a very nice study room, and there were even books inside that were already available.

  The little guy looked very happy and was holding a military book that he refused to put down.

  Yao's family didn't have any big hobbies, and the medical skills of the Yao family were not inherited by her at all. Every day, she just did some needlework and embroidered flowers.

  Feng Yu Huan thought that this was also good, a woman with sons and daughters, peaceful years were happiness. She also arranged for two lively maids to serve at the Yao's place, making it more lively.

  It wasn't until after they moved that she realized there were too few servants, so she had Old Lady Sun go and find more servant girls and buy five more back, also giving them names starting with the character "Ruo".

  From then on, this new mansion became the largest courtyard of the Feng family, connected only by a small moon gate, existing independently like a paradise. Feng Yu Heng had thought about returning Liu Yuan to the Feng family, but the old lady insisted that she didn't want it, so she didn't insist too much. Thinking that if someone really moved in, they would be going in and out frequently, and this moon gate would become busy again. Now, she arranged for two maids to guard the door, and if someone came to visit, one of them would report inside while the other temporarily blocked the person outside.

  The new mansion was named "Tong Sheng Xuan" by Feng Yu Heng. Huang Quan was stunned when he heard the name and asked Feng Yu Heng what it meant. Her explanation was: "No one can exist independently, wise people should know how to borrow power to move forward, so only by seeking common birth can they live forever."

  "Miss Second, you and His Highness are truly a match made in heaven!"

  She was made somewhat red-faced by Xiaoyu's words, "Who wants to be a couple with him?"

  "You all say the same thing, it's a pity if you don't make a pair." Huang Quan smiled and said: "If I hadn't been following Miss these past few days, I would have suspected that Miss had already met His Highness and together they had come up with this idea of shared fate."

  She was slightly stunned, had he also said the same thing?

  She actually thought that calling it Tongsheng Temple would be more domineering, but after all, this was just a courtyard relying on Fengfu to exist, and it couldn't be called a temple. If she were to set up her own estate in the future, she wouldn't be able to call it Tongsheng Estate or anything like that. For now, she was just indulging herself, and would stop after a few years.

  On the first night in Tongsheng Pavilion, everyone slept very well.

  The Feng Mansion, under the old lady's instructions, sent a lot of bedding and mattresses to each courtyard, and prepared two brand new silk quilts for each of the three masters, as well as a large pile of daily necessities.

  It turns out that none of these are needed, because Feng Yu Heng discovered that the person had already arranged the main courtyard of the three mansions perfectly, even the bedding in the main house was neat and tidy, not to mention the decorations in the room, everything is complete.

  She lay in this carefully arranged room and slept her first sound sleep since crossing over.

  The next day, Yao Shi, Feng Yu Huan and Feng Zi Rui went to Lao Tai Tai's Shu Ya Yuan together to pay their respects.

  Because they arrived late, the three young ladies and two aunts were already in the house. Shen Shi was being punished and couldn't come out, but Jin Zhen also didn't appear for some unknown reason.

  When the three people walked far away, Feng Pian Dai's eyes were red with anger.

  To say that previously she was just jealous of Feng Yu Heng's good materials, now it is to the point where she is drooling over Tong Sheng Pavilion.

  Having a house of one's own is such a wonderful thing!

  She never thought that a woman could have such treatment, in her concept, women are at home from their fathers, married to their husbands, and after their husbands' death, they follow their sons. Before marriage, she lived at home, and after marriage, until death, she would live in her husband's family, how could it be possible for her to have a home of her own?

  Although Tongsheng Pavilion is still a courtyard of Fengfu in name, it has its own land deed and its own territory. Just that small Moon Gate she sneaked out to see, Feng Yu Heng simply blocked it off, and it's no longer adjacent to Fengfu.

  She Feng wants such a life too.

  It's not just Fen Dai who has such a mentality, Feng Chen Yu is also jealous.

  Feng's family always says that everything is for her own good, and they will make the best arrangements for her, but she has to pay the price for it. She must put on a gentle and virtuous mask with a stunning face. Heaven knows how many times she was furious, but she couldn't be like Feng Yuexiang, daring to argue with her elders, fighting for her own life. Feng Chenyu had no freedom, only an infinitely beautiful future painted for her.

  It's just the future!

  Yao Shi and Feng Yu Huan walked in, one after the other, with Feng Zi Rui following closely behind them. He also walked in a very proper manner, not at all like ordinary children who tend to be curious about everything and look around everywhere.

  Three people came into the house and simultaneously paid their respects to the old lady.

  The old lady looked at these three people appearing collectively in front of her again, and felt that it was different from the day they just returned to the house.

  "Hurry up." She tried to make herself look more gentle and waved at Feng Zirui: "Good grandson, come here to grandma."

  Feng Chenyu's face suddenly sank, and last night Feng Zixiao had just done something like that. Today, the old lady was so expressionless towards Feng Zirui, it couldn't help but make her think more about it.

  Fengzi Rui bowed and stepped forward, but didn't get too close. After taking a few steps closer, he bowed again: "Rui pays his respects to Grandmother, it's been a long time since I've served you properly, please don't blame me."

  "It's nothing, it's nothing!" Feng Zirui's understanding made the old lady think of the past when Yao Shi was in charge, and she couldn't help but feel a thousand emotions. At that time, the Feng family was really prosperous and peaceful, where were all these troubles now? "Zhao Nianiang, please sit down."

  Three people sat down together. Zirui sat next to Xiang Rong, who liked this child very much and secretly pinched her small hand, pursing his lips with a smile.

  Fen Dai shot a fierce glance at Han Shi and began to resent her for being so weak.

  However, the girl looked around the room and found that someone was missing, so she couldn't help but ask: "Where is the newly promoted Golden Treasure Mother? Why didn't she come to pay respects to Grandmother?"

  Feng Yu He secretly smiled and said that this powder is indeed a good material for stirring up trouble.

  As soon as the mention of Jin Zhen, no one in the house was willing to listen, and the old lady hummed a sound, saying: "She'd better not appear in front of me for the rest of her life, just looking at her is annoying." However, thinking again about Feng Zi Hao who didn't know if he could be cured or not, she began to hope that Jin Zhen would give birth to another son for the Feng family.

  Han was also a fearless person, and she said in a tight voice: "Jin Zhen is the one who was trained by the madam, so she should know the rules of morning and evening very well. Maybe it's because Master has been staying at Ruyi Courtyard for the past two days, that's why she got up late." After finishing speaking, she still didn't forget to leave her signature smile.

  The old lady was already annoyed with Shen's family, and after hearing Han's words, she became even more displeased: "What good thing can that wicked woman possibly bring up?"

  "Feng Yu Huan said with a difficult tone: 'Speaking of which, since Mother was punished to reflect on her mistakes, who should I go to for those few shops that Aunt Yao took over?'"

  Feng Yu Huan picked up the shop when the old lady was staring at a small porcelain bottle in her hand.

  Since Feng Yu Huan gave her those few pieces of plaster, this old lady has benefited greatly. In ancient times, people had never seen the kind of plaster from the 21st century that was both thin and mixed with Western medicine, which not only didn't feel as thick and heavy as other doctors' prescriptions, but also took effect immediately. She applied it for two days and found the trick: not only did she apply it to her waist, but wherever it hurt, she applied it there, guaranteeing that the medicine would cure the illness.

  Thinking of that night, she suddenly felt dizzy, Feng Yuexian said that her blood was surging upwards and would find some good medicine for her. Could it be that this small porcelain bottle is the good medicine for her?

  The old lady waved her hand at Zhao Ayi: "Go and bring Shen Shi over, let her bring the land deed." After thinking for a moment, she added: "Also bring the account book together."

  Madam Zhao took her leave, Feng Yu Heng smiled slightly and stepped forward two steps, handing the small porcelain bottle in her hand to the old lady: "This is a good medicine that Ah Heng spent all night preparing for Grandmother yesterday, using rare medicinal materials sent by the Emperor, some of which are rarely seen even in Da Shun."

  The old lady smiled and accepted it. The treasure's appearance was even more beautiful than the glass-like jade pendant necklace given by Shen Shi on that day.

  Feng Chen Yu suppressed the anger in her heart and said softly, "Second sister is indeed worthy of being Yao Taifu's granddaughter, she has truly inherited his skills."

  "Feng Yu Hong Qian said, 'No, Father only taught me for a few years when I was young, how can it compare to Mother's daily teachings and guidance to my elder sister?'"

  The old lady grumbled, "That wicked woman, you must never learn from your mother."

  Phoenix sank fish heart very wronged, mouth still said: "Sunk fish all listen to grandmother."

  The old lady nodded, unwilling to say more about the Shen family. She looked at the small porcelain bottle in her hand and asked Feng Yuexian: "Good granddaughter, quickly tell grandma how to take this medicine?"

  "Grandma doesn't need to take it every day, just next time when dizzy again, pour out half a fingernail-sized amount of the powder and take it with water."

  She simply took the antihypertensive drugs, repackaged them, and ground them into powder. She filled small ceramic bottles that ancient people used to store medicine with the powder. The amount equivalent to half a fingernail was roughly half a dose, which she gave to the old lady in case her blood pressure suddenly rose.

  The old lady was very satisfied with this bottle of emergency medicine, and she didn't let anyone else handle it. She simply put it in her sleeve pocket: "I'll carry it myself, so when I need to use it, someone won't be around."

  Feng Yu nodded, "Ah Huang only hopes that Grandmother is healthy." You're healthy, and you have the energy to help me deal with Shen Shi. To remove Shen Shi from the Feng manor, her power as a small concubine is not enough. With an old lady's help, it will be much easier.

  The crowd waited for a while, and then Zhao's mother brought Shen Shi over, with Man Xi and Bao Tang following behind.

  Feng Yu Huan carefully looked at Man Xi's fingernails, which were still painted with nail polish. She calculated the days and realized that she had to give this girl medicine tonight.

  Shen walked into the house with a gloomy face, bowed slightly to the old lady and said, "Greetings to you, elderly lady." Then he sat down beside Feng Chenyu.

  Madam Zhao handed over several papers and account books to the old lady: "These are the land deeds and account books submitted by the first wife."
