If the royal family really valued this marriage, why was the betrothal gift so shabby? The eunuch read out the list of gifts in such a way that their faces were almost hanging down. Outside the main gate of the Feng Mansion, many people heard it and laughed. This joke would spread throughout the entire capital within an hour, and the Feng family's face would be lost.

  At last, the gift list was sung out, and all the betrothal gifts were moved into the Feng Mansion.

  Feng Jin Yuan's face turned black, and the old lady was so angry that she had to be supported by two servants to stand up. Shen Shi didn't have a big reaction, if the Royal Palace did it this way, then don't blame Feng Fu for how they treated Yao Shi in the future. It's time for those who think Yao Shi is the real mistress of Feng Fu to wake up.

  Just when everyone thought the embarrassing farce had finally come to an end, Madame Zhou spoke up again: "These are the betrothal gifts for the Feng family. Next, we have a private gift from our Royal Highness to the future Crown Princess!"

  The crowd was in an uproar!

  What is private employment?

  Who invented this kind of thing?

  The old lady's stiff waist swayed back and forth, Feng Jin Yuan's iron-black face twisted, even Shen Shi was stunned.

  Feng Yu Huan was also confused, what is this private engagement thing?

  Mrs. Zhou's face was stern as she looked around at the people in the Feng manor, and Feng Yu Heng saw a hint of disdain in her gaze.

  His Majesty said that the Feng Mansion's upbringing of Second Miss Feng is worth only this much, and the three thousand taels of silver are actually a lot more than they should have given. If one were to investigate thoroughly, the Feng family's investment in Second Miss Feng falls far short of three thousand taels.

  The meaning is clear, you know in your heart how you raised your daughter, and giving you three thousand is already a favor.

  Madam Zhou raised her hand, and the maid beside her handed over another gift list. This time, Madam Zhou directly handed this gift list to Feng Yuexiang: "This is the private betrothal gift from the Royal Highness to the Second Miss, please take a look."

  Feng Yu took the gift list and looked down, only to see a long list filled with dense writing, each item making her eyes dizzy.

  Madam Zhou didn't wait for her to finish, and with a wave of her hand, the eunuch who had previously announced the gifts spoke up again: "Please have His Royal Highness present the private betrothal gift to Miss Feng's residence!"

  As soon as this voice fell, another batch of people at the door began to move wooden boxes covered with large red cloth into the house.

  "His Majesty the King bestowed upon Miss Feng the Second a glass kind of jade white cabbage, a pair of sheep's fat white jade treasure bottles, a pair of nine-dragon jade cups, a pair of East Sea night luminous pearls, a yellow jade Buddha's hand flower insert, a pair of coral Pixiu, a peacock stone landscape screen, an eight-sided box with gold inlaid gemstones and hollow flowers, a Qingyu chrysanthemum water scene basin, a pink crystal hairpin, a auspicious Ruyi hairpin, a butterfly flowing silk hairpin, a white jade peacock hairpin, a five-color jade hairpin, a pearl Linglong eight-treasure hairpin each one, a pair of gold bell-shaped bangles, a pair of glass jade bangles, a pair of red gold twisted thread bangles, a pair of white jade Eight Immortals bangles, a pair of gold inlaid pearl twisted thread bangles... and a set of eighteen handmade Persian gold bangles..."

  Everyone was stunned, from decorations to jewelry, and even headwear. Not only did the people of Fengfu House gasp in amazement, but even the princesses in the palace would be envious if they saw them. The Imperial Wangfu was like giving away these precious treasures for free, carrying box after box into Fengfu House.

  Not only that, but also, apart from the decorations and jewelry, as soon as the eunuch's voice "lacquered gold inlaid with a hundred treasures mountain water people bed" came out, everyone stared blankly at the person outside who carried in an extremely luxurious large bed.

  Perhaps to match this bed, next came screens, tables and chairs, multi-layered shelves, bookshelves, dressing tables, and even small items like tea sets, all of which clearly indicated that Feng Yu Heng was going to have the entire room renovated.

  Everything was sent, and the last eunuch shouted in an even louder voice: "The royal highness sends to Miss Feng the Second eight shops in the capital city, six villas in the suburbs of the capital, and one mansion on Qilin Street. Also, ten thousand taels of silver notes and two thousand taels of gold notes are sent to Miss Feng the Second——" The last word "wan" was dragged out with a long tail sound, making everyone's heart tremble along with it.

  As the eunuch finished singing, all the boxes were also moved into the courtyard. The originally spacious and elegant Phoenix Manor was piled up so much that there was almost no room to set foot, and a servant of the imperial palace even squeezed Shen's wife and said in a cold voice: "Trouble this lady to make way."

  "Shen's anger burst forth in a loud shout: 'You dare, you rascal!'"

  "Madam Zhou's face sank again: 'The slaves of the Royal Palace have their own royal highness to discipline, what right do you have to scold them?!'"

  Madam Shen's eyes blazed with fury, on the verge of an outburst, when Old Lady Feng slammed her cane to the ground and glared at her, forcing Madam Shen's anger back down.

  Mrs. Zhou handed a wooden box to Feng Yu personally, with a loving expression on her face: "The silver and gold tickets, as well as the house deed, are all in here. Please keep them safe, Second Miss. I wonder if you're satisfied with the betrothal gift from the Royal Highness?"

  Before Feng Yu Heng could respond, Madame Shen chimed in: "Of course it's satisfactory! Such a generous betrothal gift is naturally satisfactory!"

  Madam Zhou's expression changed instantly: "I am speaking with the future princess, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

  Shen was choked back again.

  "Also, please instruct Miss Er clearly." Madame Zhou turned to look at Feng Yu Huang. This time, the two of them looked into each other's eyes and stared at each other for a long while.

  "Ah, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Thank you, madam, for your trouble. These betrothal gifts are exactly what I wanted." She spoke lightly, with a smile on her face, but not a hint of joy due to the wealth.

  Mrs. Zhou nodded in satisfaction, very pleased with Feng Yu's attitude.

  Feng Yuexiang also had her own thoughts, what was the intention of that person who gave her such a heavy betrothal gift? It's said that he should not know what kind of person the so-called Second Miss Feng is, and it's even more impossible for him to want to get exactly the one from the deep mountains in the northwest. If that's the case, does it mean that this betrothal gift was really just given to Second Miss Feng, and had nothing to do with her, Feng Yuexiang?

  Thinking of this, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Looking at Madame Zhou again, I thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "The king's emphasis on this marriage is the good fortune of the second miss of the Feng family."

  Mrs. Zhou patted her hand and said something that made Feng Yu Heng's heart feel particularly bright: "When I left the mansion, the prince told me to tell you that the weather in Beijing is dry and hot, not as cool as the northwest mountains, so please drink more tea to clear your heat."

  A smile spread across her face, and it turned out that he actually knew, he actually understood her. Looking at the full courtyard of betrothal gifts, her mood greatly improved.

  Whenever she's in a good mood, someone else is in a bad one, like Feng Pian Dai.

  This girl felt that her heart had been fluctuating greatly since she saw Feng Yu Heng this morning. Just now, she thought that Feng Yu Heng no longer had any advantages, having lost the position of legitimate daughter, the favoritism of the old lady and father, and also losing a fiancé who was originally perfect. She and herself were pulled to the same level.

  Before she could enjoy her beauty for long, Feng Yu Heng suddenly made a big turn around, this one move was simply infuriating.

  It's not just Fen Dai, it can be said that except for the relatively calm An Shi and Xiang Rong, everyone else's heart is fluctuating with various ups and downs. Even Feng Chen Yu put away her Bodhisattva face and couldn't muster a magnanimous expression.

  "These things are the private betrothal gifts given by the Imperial Palace to Second Miss, and have nothing to do with the Feng Manor. Second Miss should take care of them herself." Madam Zhou reminded everyone once again that these things were for Feng Feiwei alone.

  "Mrs. Zhou, since ancient times, the betrothal gifts given by the man's family to the woman's family have always been received on behalf of the woman's family. What kind of reasoning is it for the woman's family to receive them personally? This is the rule!"

  "Rules?" Lady Zhou sneered, "I've never heard of a rule where the concubine takes precedence over the wife. Why don't you, Duke Feng, tell us about your first wife, the birth mother of our future empress, and where she is now?"

  "She's naturally in the palace!" Shen Shi subconsciously picked up the conversation, Feng Jin Yuan gave her a cold warning glance, scaring her into shrinking her neck, but she couldn't swallow this tone, so she muttered: "Whose fault is it that her own family was punished by the Emperor?"

  The voice was extremely soft, even Feng Jin Yuan standing beside him couldn't hear it clearly, but Feng Yu Huang happened to catch every word with the help of the wind.

  She raised an eyebrow, turned to Shen's family and said: "Mother, what do you mean by this? The Emperor is going to punish my maternal grandparents' family and send them to a remote state, but he has not issued any decree to punish my mother who has already married out?" She pretended to think: "It seems that at the beginning, there was no heavier punishment for a specific person, even if it was the maternal grandfather who killed the noble concubine, the Emperor only demoted him and deducted his salary. It seems that compared to the favor of that noble concubine, the Holy One values my maternal grandfather's medical skills more."

  As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

  Feng Jin's eyebrows were furrowed so tightly they seemed to be squeezing out water, and Feng Yu-Han's words were clearly directed at him. Upon reflection, it was true that the Emperor had not issued an edict to punish the Yao family together with them back then; the reason they had driven her out of the house was entirely the Feng family's own decision. Moreover, for so many years, the Feng family had always thought their actions were correct, but why did Feng Yu-Han's words make him feel that he had been too rash back then?

  At that time, the noble consort was in great favor, and the emperor had once set a record of summoning only her for three consecutive months. However, even with such great favor, after being killed by Doctor Yao, she did not receive the death penalty, but was instead demoted and exiled to a remote state.

  At that time, the Feng family was afraid of being implicated and heard the news of the Yao family's guilt. They made arrangements for Yao Shi in the backyard overnight. Now thinking about it, demotion and exile to a remote state is nothing! His father-in-law, Yao Shen Yi, is still alive and well, and all members of the Yao family are living well, only Yao Shi, Feng Yu Han, and Feng Zi Rui suffered for three years!

  Feng Yu Huan looked at her father's face, where emotions changed as swiftly as the wind and clouds, and a boundless sense of irony rose in her heart.

  Shen's family didn't understand that this was said to Feng Jin Yuan, she thought Feng Yu Heng was speaking up for Yao Shi, her eyes suddenly stood upright, and she immediately retorted - "Will the emperor explicitly state all his intentions? Isn't it just the people below who think for themselves?"

  As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Feng was so angry that she slapped Shen's back with her fan.
