Feng Xiang Rong didn't understand, "Why does Aunt Yao have to sweep the floor herself? Isn't this something that should be done by the servants?" Although Aunt Yao wasn't the real mistress of the house, there was no reason for her to be sweeping the courtyard either!

  Shen's family fiercely stared at Xiang Rong for a moment, scaring Xiang Rong into quickly lowering his head.

  "Feng Yu didn't care about those things, someone asked her and she replied: 'Mother understood us, sending the most capable wet nurse and two first-class maids to Liu Yuan, Ah Huang and Auntie were favored. But they are all high-ranking servants, how can they do rough work like some lowly servants? Moreover, this morning Man Xi was taken out by me, Zi Rui is still young, Sun Niang has been carrying him, Li Niang still needs to go ask Mother for peace, only Bao Tang is left to watch the yard, Auntie doesn't know how to manage, how can she be busy?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the house looked displeased.

  "Feng Yu Huan added, 'It's nothing, nothing. These chores, I and my aunt are used to doing them in the mountains. Even if we don't have a rough servant, we can still get by!' Once again reminding everyone that Liu Yuan has not arranged for a rough servant yet."

  The old lady felt that since Feng Weihuang entered the house, she had been slapping her in the face without stopping, and this old face of hers was really losing all dignity!

  The one who humiliated her was none other than the mistress of this mansion, Shen Shi, whom she had never gotten along with.

  Thinking of this, my heart feels even more unbalanced. The Shen family only had some money from their maternal home, but back then they weren't too wealthy, just enough to support Feng Jin's studies and daily expenses, plus taking care of her in the village. Later, when the Shen family became rich, wasn't it still relying on the Feng family's reputation that they arrived in the capital city? Otherwise, how could they have possibly come into contact with imperial business?

  It was Yao's family that helped the Feng family gain a foothold in the capital back then!

  She thought of her own waist again, and it seemed that Feng Yu Heng had said something reasonable. The Yao family, although they were said to have killed the noble consort, did not die for such a great crime, but only demoted and exiled to a remote state. It was said that Old Master Yao's medical skills were the best in the world, and many people had received his kindness!

  Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a pang of tenderness and pity for Feng Yu Heng again, and opened his mouth to say: "My Ah Heng has suffered."

  Feng Chenyu was slightly stunned, and a layer of dark clouds immediately floated onto his face.

  Feng Yu Huan also noticed the old lady's emotional changes, but these changes did not affect her much and did not evoke any feelings of excitement.

  It's only now that I've thought of their suffering, what's the use? Your real granddaughter had long died in the chaotic graves of the northwest mountains, she was the one who promised to avenge the original master.

  "Grandma worries too much, Ah Huang is not suffering." She said casually, but the old lady felt that she was even more sensible.

  "Zhao Ayi," the old lady said, "send a few rough servants to the Liu Garden, and arrange for some young maids to enter the mansion to serve as attendants for the second miss. She glanced at Shen Shi again, turned her prayer beads a few times, and thought it would be better to give her some face, so she said: "It's also right for Shen Shi to send some capable people from her side over there, just in time to train some new people. Let's do it this way."

  "Everything depends on Old Madam." Zhao's servant girl took her leave and went, although Shen Shi was unhappy, she didn't say anything more.

  Phoenix sank and the fish calmed down, letting go of Shen's family, taking the initiative to walk in front of Feng Yuexiang, following the old lady's words: "Grandmother is absolutely right, these years my second sister has suffered a lot in the mountains." While saying this, she pulled up Feng Yuexiang's hand, "I remember when I was young, your hands were as white and beautiful as sheep fat jade, making me very envious. But now, after working hard in the mountains, there are many more calluses and scars, it really makes my sister heartbroken." Raising her head to look at her face again, "The skin is also dark, I don't know if staying in the mansion for a few days can restore it, it's really..." As she spoke, two tears actually welled up in her eyes.

  Feng Yu sighed in her heart: What a great material for acting! Tears came easily, no need to brew.

  These words and these two tears are not spoken in vain, using the excuse of heartache for my sister, but actually making a verbal report to everyone about my sister's current personal situation.

  The old lady also understood that Feng Yuexia's hands were rough and her skin was dark, the capital that girls could rely on the most was almost gone, and it wouldn't be easy to find a good husband in the future.

  Thinking again about the marriage of the Ninth Prince, it seems that Shen Yu is the most suitable choice at present. With so many princes in the imperial court eyeing the dragon throne, and the Feng family having no power or influence to rely on except for his son's presence in the imperial court, they must choose a stable backing. The Ninth Prince has military achievements and is one of the emperor's favorite sons; the emperor once promised to declare him crown prince on the day he returns from battle, but it's unknown if there have been any new developments on this matter. If the Ninth Prince really becomes the crown prince, the Feng family will inevitably cling tightly to this powerful backing, and this marriage agreement is the best bridge for that. But yesterday, his son's attitude...

  "I still have a few unworn clothes at my place, if you're not ashamed to wear them, I'll send someone over with them in a bit. You can make do with those for now and change into the new ones when they arrive!" Feng Chenyu threw out another favor.

  "Absolutely not!" Feng Yu's voice rose a few pitches, "Big sister is the legitimate daughter, how can I, a concubine-born daughter, wear her clothes?" She glanced at her current attire and continued, "Is big sister blaming me for wearing these old clothes that were originally prepared for the legitimate daughter? Fine, I'll go change out of them!" She turned to leave but seemed to think of something else and turned back around, "Big sister shouldn't blame fourth sister either, she was young at the time and only took the clothes because they looked good, there's no way she had designs on the legitimate daughter's status."

  In short, Feng Pian Dai was pulled down alive.

  Her face was pale, she took these clothes when Feng Yuexiang had already been driven out of the house. Although it was not in line with the rules, no one said anything about it. Now being explained by Feng Yuexiang like this is not a good thing, Fu Chenyu may be embarrassed to blame her because of face, but Shen Shi is still here!

  As expected, upon hearing this, Shen Shi immediately flew into a rage again - "In our Da Shun dynasty, there is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. How can an illegitimate daughter wear the clothes of a legitimate daughter? Fourth Young Miss, is it that your mother has been neglecting you and not making good clothes for you? Or are you only fond of things belonging to legitimate daughters?"

  "No, no! Mother, I never had any intention of coveting the position of eldest sister. It was only because Second Sister left that I took it to wear. If Second Sister hadn't left the manor, I wouldn't have dared to do so."

  "Hasn't she left the mansion?" Shen's words were sharp as a knife, "Do you still expect her to be in the mansion?"

  "Feng Pink didn't!" Feng Pink felt that her mother, Shen Shi, was someone who couldn't be reasoned with even if a hundred mouths tried to explain it to her. Not only did she not listen to reason, but she also fundamentally couldn't understand what others were trying to say.

  "Old lady!" Shen Shi also learned to be clever this time, it's not enough to just be serious herself, she had to drag the old lady down too. "Don't you think this matter needs an explanation? The rules of the mansion can't be broken."

  The old lady rolled her eyes, she wasn't that easy to bully. Shen said so and kicked the ball back: "You're the mistress of the house, why are you still asking me about setting rules?"

  Shen's family was left with a bad taste in their mouths. "Fourth daughter, just stay inside and copy out the women's precepts for now. Don't go out unless necessary."

  In short, the powder was forbidden from leaving the house.

  Feng Fen Dai naturally didn't dare to go against Shen Shi, and reluctantly curtsied to show her submission.

  She turned her head around and gave Feng Yuexiang a fierce stare.

  She won't forget, today's affairs were all stirred up by this second sister. A person who was driven out of the legitimate daughter position actually dared to be so arrogant, sooner or later she will settle this account.

  Feng Yuhe smiled at the fierce gaze, didn't say anything else, but turned to Feng Chenyu and said: "Since mother has already punished fourth sister, big sister shouldn't blame her anymore."

  Phoenix sank fish also choked a belly of gas, what is called do not blame again? When did she say blamed? Although the heart is not very pleasant, but on the surface has never gotten along with anyone.

  At this moment, Feng Pian Dai comforted Si Mei with a smile, "Fourth sister, don't worry about it, I've never blamed you. Older sister will help you copy the script together, mother won't be angry." Then she turned her head to Shen Shi: "Right, mother?"

  The Shen family naturally wouldn't dare to touch the face of their own daughter, and smiled as she nodded: "Of course Mother won't be angry with Shen Yu. Our Shen Yu is sensible and loving towards her sister, and is most worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Feng manor."

  "Chén yú bēn lái jiù shì dí nǚ, zì rán dàng dé qǐ!" The door outside a soft voice rang out, followed by two bursts of giggles, everyone knew that this was the arrival of Fourth Aunt.

  Fourth Auntie Han was the last one to enter the mansion, but she gave birth to a child in the same year as Third Auntie An, with only four months difference between them.

  This Korean has a charming appearance and is born with a flirtatious bone structure. To say nothing of men, even many women can't help but feel numb when they see her smile.

  She was originally a Qing girl in the art gallery. Feng Jin Yuan once accompanied someone to socialize and took a fancy to her at first sight. After returning to the mansion, she ignored the opposition of the old lady and forcibly brought her in from the back door, and also gave her the position of Fourth Madam.

  These years, Han's favor has never been interrupted, and Feng Jin Yuan has not taken in any other concubines since then. Moreover, the current Shen Shi is the result of Feng Jin Yuan's favorite concubine killing his wife, so Feng Pian Dai always has a misconception that her father can do it again for the second time if he did it once, who knows when Shen Shi will be replaced, and her aunt Han Shi will take over.

  As for Han's coquettish words, everyone in the house except Feng, Pian and Dai felt a strong sense of disgust.

  She may look good and be able to win people's hearts, but that is only towards men and outsiders. In the same household, she doesn't even look down on women.

  A humble birth, even a merchant's daughter like Shen felt ashamed of that person, so every time there was a banquet or something, she never let Han go out in public, only kept her in the courtyard to avoid embarrassment.

  Han was also a person who could be tolerated, and she never fought for fame or fortune. Moreover, from time to time, she would say some good things about Shen's wife when chatting with Feng Jinlian, so Shen's attitude towards her gradually changed and was no longer as hostile as before.

  Following Mr. Han was also Third Auntie An, the two of them came in and first paid their respects to Old Mrs., Shen said with a hint: "You two have arrived late today."

  An was a low-key person who never liked to chat with Shen, let alone with Han around, so she got off easy.

  As expected, upon hearing Shen's words, Han immediately covered her mouth and smiled again, then said: "Madam is unaware, I actually left with An sister a long time ago, but on the way here we met Master and chatted for a bit, that's why we're late."

  "Master?" Shen's expression changed, "Didn't Master go to court?"
