Madam Yao's eyes were filled with tears, "It was all Mother's fault that delayed you and Zi Rui. If you weren't the granddaughter of the Yao family, you wouldn't have been implicated in that disaster."

  Feng Yu shook her head, "If we were all unrelated to the Yao family, I'm afraid Feng Jin Yuan wouldn't have carried Mother into the mansion in a sedan chair back then. That way, there wouldn't be me and Zi Rui either."

  When she heard her directly address Feng Xiang by his full name, Yao Shi felt that it was not proper, despite having grievances against her husband. She advised her daughter: "No matter how bad he is, after all, he is your father."

  Feng Yu Huan raised an eyebrow, her face turning a few degrees colder as she said, "Isn't Mother still having feelings for him?"

  "This issue, Yao thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head. "To talk about feelings, I didn't have any when I was driven out of the house back then. But Ah Huang, you need to understand that women don't have many choices in this life. Whether they marry well or not, whether their husbands treat them well or not, it's all a woman's fate."

  "Life is one's own, and men have nothing to say about it." Feng Yu Heng reminded Yao Shi: "The three obediences and four virtues are mutual, if he treats you like dirt, then you don't need to treat him as a honored guest."

  Yao sighed, raised her hand and stroked Feng Yu's face. "Silly child, there aren't that many fair things in life. You think it's mutual, but others don't think so. Mother actually had no hopes for a long time, if she just lived the rest of her life in that small mountain village, it would be fine too. But she felt sorry for you and Zi Rui, so she wanted to return to the capital. But didn't expect the Ninth Prince's side..."

  "The ninth prince is very good." Feng Yu Heng did not want to persuade Yao Shi anymore, but in fact, she had already made up her mind. Later on, when the opportunity arises, she would try to understand this era's divorce issues. If Yao Shi was willing, after she had settled down with the people of this mansion, they could all disperse! "Mother, don't worry, I am happy about this marriage and it is my own will."

  "But... " Mrs. Yao still couldn't help but feel resentful, "Forget about other things, it's just that issue of having children..."

  "Mother, you're so worried, do we need to go to the Emperor to reason things out? Or does the Phoenix family have the guts to break off the engagement with the Imperial Family? Since there's no way to change what's already happened, why not just look at the good side of things? At least in my opinion, everything that's happened today is satisfactory."

  Indeed, Feng Yu Heng was very satisfied, extremely satisfied. Seeing the small Liu Yuan being packed to the brim with those large trunks, she became even more satisfied.

  "Mother, look at these good things sent by the king, not to mention others, just the five kinds of Guanghan silk, Liangren brocade, Shu Yun steel, Ruo Ye gauze and soft smoke gauze. Do you think if he didn't treat me with a true heart, would he send them to the Feng Mansion? And...” She covered her mouth and smiled lightly, telling Yao Shi about the betrothal gifts sent by Lady Zhou to the Feng Mansion today, as well as the private gifts she received personally. Seeing Yao Shi's sorrowful eyes also smile, she finally felt at ease.

  "Those are treasures that even the imperial concubines can't get, Ninth Prince is really thoughtful." Yao Shi tucked a strand of hair behind Feng Yu's ear, "Our Ah Huang has grown up too, you should take charge of your own affairs now. Mother just hopes for your well-being. If he truly treats you with kindness, other things..." Yao Shi suddenly paused, pondered for a moment, and whispered into Feng Yu's ear: "Appearance and talent are still manageable, but as for the matter of offspring, find an opportunity to send a message to your maternal grandfather later, perhaps there is still room for maneuver."

  Feng Yuhan nodded solemnly: "Mother, rest assured that I will not wrong myself." While speaking, she pushed the box in her hand to Yao Shi: "This is the silver and gold ticket sent by the Royal Highness, please mother take care of it for me!"

  Madam Yao pushed her hand back, "My Ah Huang is a sensible child, Mother believes that no matter how much silver is put in your hands, you will use it wisely. You keep these yourself, Mother doesn't want them, after a few years when you get married and take charge of the household, it's better to learn more now."

  Feng Yu Huan didn't persist, only saying: "Ah Huan will never treat Mother and Zi Rui unfairly. You two are the only relatives I acknowledge in this world. We must all live well and keep our eyes wide open to see what kind of retribution those who have wronged us will receive."

  Yao saw a flash of anger in Feng Yu's eyes, although it quickly returned to normal, but she still secretly sighed in her heart.

  It's a mother who knows her daughter best, and she has changed from before. No matter what, this is still her daughter, whether she is tolerant, calm, or strong and brave like now, she acknowledges it all. Only, no mother wants her child to be filled with resentment, if possible, she hopes that the Ninth Prince can treat Ah Huang well, let her leave the Feng Mansion, a place that makes people desperate, and live a good life in a family with sunshine and warmth.

  Feng Yu Huan saw the emotions in Yao Shi's eyes, but didn't say much. She gently wrapped her arm around Yao Shi's and leaned against her like a little girl, saying "Mother, everything will be alright, everything will be fine."

  On this side, the two women were talking about their innermost thoughts, while on that side, Feng Zirui had already been thoroughly excited by those large trunks brought in.

  Feng Yu Huan smiled and walked to a box that was already open, picked out a small white jade tiger from inside, only the size of a child's fist, strung together with brown leather straps, with a half-length tassel hanging below, very delicate.

  "Come." She pulled Zi Rui over to her side. "When you've finished making new clothes, let Huang Quan sister tie this around your waist."

  Zi Rui was very happy and couldn't bear to part with little tiger.

  Yao also burst out laughing, "Zi Rui is a tiger sign, how coincidental."

  Huang Quan chuckled and told Madam Yao, "Where's the cleverness? Our king specially prepared many gifts for you and young master, this little tiger is one of them."

  Wave after wave of emotion rose in her heart again, and the uncontrollable smile also floated to the corner of her lips. Feng Yu's face, which rarely showed any signs of weakness, was actually slightly flushed.

  "Thank you, Prince Wang, for your thoughtfulness." Madam Yao felt much better in her heart. It wasn't because she had obtained something valuable, but just through this matter, it could be seen that the Ninth Prince was concerned about her daughter, and that was good enough.

  The boxes have been moved almost all, He Zhong hurriedly ran to the front of Feng Yuexian and asked: "Second Miss, there are still some boxes that can't be put away, they are already placed outside the Liu Garden Gate. The slave begs the second miss to give a word, is the moon gate on the north wall to be opened immediately?"

  "Feng Yu nodded, 'Open it up, right away, don't worry about the appearance, and it doesn't have to be too big, just enough for two people to pass through. Tell the workers to hurry up, best if they can finish within two days.'"

  He Zhong nodded and bowed his head in agreement, then quickly ran off to attend to the task.

  Yao's family was confused, "Why open a moon gate on the north wall?"

  "Feng Yu Fan asked back: 'Mother, did you know that the Crown Prince gave me a house?'"

  Yao nodded, "I've heard of it."

  "It's the one next to the north wall."

  Yao's daughter, she grew up in the capital city, naturally knew the origin of the mansion next to Feng Fu. Unexpectedly, the mansion that all the princes and ministers wanted to get, finally fell into her own daughter's hands.

  Things have been moved away, the servants have all withdrawn, and the small willow garden has finally quieted down.

  "Your Ladyship has sent over a lot of tea, shall I go and brew some for the young mistress and the madam?"

  Feng Yu nodded, "Let's use the tea set sent by the prince." Then she turned to Huang Quan and said: "Later, you help Sun Niangniang pick out the food and drink from the betrothal gifts, and store them separately. When we move next door, we'll set aside a separate room for storing those things. Other things should also be categorized, if there's anything taken out, make sure to keep a record in time."

  "Huang Quan took orders: 'Miss, rest assured, if anyone dares to have ideas about these betrothal gifts, the Royal Palace will not let him off first!'"

  As soon as these words came out, Shen's greedy face flashed in Bao Tang's mind, and Bao Tang shuddered, thinking that he must remember to remind the old lady to be careful not to make an enemy of the Royal Palace for the sake of money.

  The royal palace has taken a stand, so the people of Fengfu no longer dare to make things difficult for Madam Yao's side, at least not openly.

  This is reflected in diet first!

  At noon, the manager from the kitchen immediately led a group of servants to the willow garden. Those who carried food plates carried food plates, those who carried food boxes carried food boxes, and a total of twelve people came in a mighty manner.

  That housekeeper was a fifty-year-old fat woman, her body full of flesh almost comparable to Shen's, when she smiled, her two eyes were almost squeezed out by the flesh.

  As soon as she arrived at the Liu Garden, she didn't pay much attention to Yao Shi and directly rushed towards Feng Yu Huan to greet her - "Old servant Wang Shi, asking for Second Miss's well-being! It's noon, old servant has come to deliver lunch to Second Miss!"

  Feng Yu Heng most disliked people who fawned on those in power, previously the food sent over wasn't even as good as pig feed, yet in the blink of an eye, they were able to flatter to this extent, truly making one admire.

  She waved her hand and led Yao Shi and Zi Rui back into the house, leaving the mess in the courtyard to be dealt with by the servants.

  Before long, Wangchuan and Huangquan personally brought the dishes into the house. Unfortunately, the original table could not hold so many dishes at all, and in the end, Manxi and Baotang jointly moved a small table from the wing room to barely put them down.

  Feng Yu Huan didn't stand on ceremony at all and sat down to eat immediately.

  Yao asked Feng Yu Huang: "Will we be criticized by others for doing this?"

  Feng Yu Huan asked Zi Rui which dish he liked to eat, and then served it to him. At the same time, she replied to Yao Shi: "If you want to criticize, go ahead and criticize. Haven't we had enough criticism since our return to the mansion?"

  Mrs. Yao thought so too and didn't say anything more, focusing on eating her meal instead.

  Three people, how can they finish so many dishes? By the end, several plates hadn't even been touched. Feng Yu Heng took charge: "From now on, this is the rule, the servants of Liu Yuan won't go to the large kitchen to eat, you take these untouched plates and eat them, as for the remaining ones, if there's something you like and don't mind, you can also take it away. After moving next door, I'll have Sun Mama arrange a special dining hall just for you."

  Huang Quan was delighted, laughing and urging everyone to quickly bring the dishes to the room for dinner. Man Xi had not said a word all along, doing whatever Huang Quan told her to do. Bao Tang felt that something was off about her, and when he found an opportunity, he caught up with her and asked: "Were you scared by Second Miss?"
