Chapter 41: Ah Huang Offers Treasure

  "Replying to the old master, things are like this. Last night, the second young master suddenly fell ill, and early this morning, the big madam sent a guest doctor from the mansion to come and diagnose him. After the guest doctor wrote out a prescription and personally prepared the medicine, he had a small maid send it over to the willow garden. But then Jin Zhen came running in saying that the wrong medicine had been delivered, and this bowl was actually the nourishing medicine that the big madam had stewed for the old master to drink. The second miss thought that they shouldn't delay the old master's nourishment, so she hastily had me follow Jin Zhen to bring it over."

  Feng Jin Yuan nodded, so that's how it was. He immediately scolded Jin Zhen: "How can you be so careless and sloppy? Go back to Madam and receive your punishment." However, regarding Wang Chuan's mention of Feng Zi Rui falling ill, he acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, not asking any questions or mentioning it at all.

  Wang Chuan sneered in his heart, sighing that the Feng manor was indeed thin on family affection. Although Second Young Master was a bastard son, he should have been favored as one of only two sons in the Feng manor. As for Feng Jin Yuan, being a father and having such an attitude, it truly chilled people to the bone.

  "Bring it over." Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand, and Wang Chuan stepped forward, placing the bowl of medicine on the table.

  Feng Jin Yuan was obviously used to drinking all sorts of tonics sent by various big and small madams, treating it as if it were normal, not even looking at it before tilting his head back and gulping it down.

  Jin Zhen subconsciously shouted: "Master!" Feng Jin Yuan was taken aback, then heavily placed the bowl on the table and scolded: "More and more unscrupulous!"

  Wang Chuan retreated a few steps, and bowed to Feng Jin Yuan: "I suppose Miss Jin has something to say to the master, so I'll withdraw first."

  Feng Jin was sulking, and Jin Zhen had something to say, which meant that the Shen family had something to say. As for this mistress of the house, he really didn't have any affection for her. The reason she still held the position of mistress of the house was probably because the Feng family currently needed the Shen family's wealth to keep going, and also to leave a legitimate daughter status for his beloved Chen Yu.

  Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand towards Wang Chuan and said, "Go down!"

  Wang Chuan retreated with a humble attitude, his downcast eyes gleaming with three parts of cunning. All the way to the door, he didn't forget to close the open room door again.

  The little servant standing outside saw her come out alone, took a glance inside and asked: "Is Miss Jinzhen still inside?"

  Wang Chuan replied: "I think Jin Zhen is here to tell Master something, it must be the mistress's instructions."

  The little servant was unaware of it and led Wang Chuan away.

  While delivering medicine on this side, Feng Yuexian took Qingyu and also went to Shuya Garden.

  She picked a Hetian sheep fat jade ring before leaving, plus the ointment for lumbar disc protrusion from the medicine cabinet.

  She had a number in her mind, this jade ring was precious, but not rare in the world. The old lady liked it, but it didn't have the best effect of temptation. However, these few plasters from the 21st century were truly hard to find for her waist disease.

  It was just the right time for Feng Yu to choose to go to Shu Ya Garden with gifts, one is that in the morning in front of Shen Shi, the words had already been thrown out, this thing must be sent. Another reason is that it was the ultimate destination of her trip.

  "Have you heard everything?" she asked Qingyu beside her.

  Qing Yu nodded, "Don't worry, miss. The madam is indeed at the Shu Ya Garden right now. And it's not just the madam, the three aunts and four aunts are also there, as well as the three young ladies."

  "Fine." She sneered, smoothed out the unwrinkled hem of her clothes, and lifted her head again. Shuyue Garden had arrived.

  At this time, Shuya Garden was bustling with excitement. From a distance, you could hear Shen's loud laughter and her saying: "If the old lady likes it, I'll ask my third brother to think of a way to find another piece of sheep fat jade. It's said that this thing is offered as tribute to the palace every year. If we can get one for the old lady to make a ring, then she'll be really stylish!"

  The old lady smiled and responded: "Then you're being too considerate."

  Feng Yu Huan rolled her eyes, it seems that this old lady really has no standing, to put it bluntly, whoever gives her benefits is who she favors.

  It was just right, she pinched the wooden box with a ring in her hand and smiled on her face.

  "Who's that?" Shen's voice was so twisted and turned, it sounded more charming than Han's. After all, as a concubine, she couldn't put down her shameless skills at any time. Unfortunately, this person could only listen to the sound, but couldn't bear to look at her face. "Isn't that Ah Huang? What should I call you then? Imperial Concubine?"

  The Shen family's mood is particularly good today, Feng Yu thought, probably because she thinks that bowl of medicine has been successfully drunk into Feng Zi Rui's belly, waiting to watch the show.

  Think of Zirui, that little child drinking down such a bowl of medicine. If he doesn't die from it, his skin will be completely gone, not to mention the shame of taking such medicine. If Zirui were to fall ill and suffer serious physical harm, I fear this shadow would haunt him for the rest of his life.

  Feng Yu Hui Li did not care about Shen Shi, and calmly walked forward, rushing to the old lady and kowtowed: "Granddaughter greets her grandmother."

  "Mind your manners! It's too late for formal greetings. If you had the intention, why didn't you come earlier?"

  "Feng Yu Han pretended to be surprised: 'Didn't mother go to the willow garden this morning? Zi Rui is ill, and mother said that Ah Han and Yao Niang should take good care of her. As for grandmother's place, you'll naturally take care of it.'"

  Shen's voice was hoarse, and it was common knowledge that she had gone to the willow garden. If she denied Feng Yuexiang's words at this moment, it would be equivalent to saying that she didn't care about her illegitimate child. She clearly knew that one of them was ill, yet she wouldn't let Feng Yuexiang and Yao stay behind to take care of them.

  But she really didn't say that!

  Shen was not willing to give up, and just as she was about to speak again, Chen Yu took over: "Mother has been worried about Rui's illness, and is also afraid that grandmother will get anxious and angry if she hears about it, so she didn't dare say anything. I hope second sister won't blame her."

  In one sentence, Feng Yu Heng was once again given a hat that made the old lady anxious and flustered.

  Feng Yu Hong remained unmoved, only rushing towards the old lady with an apologetic smile, "It was Ah Huang's negligence."

  The old lady can no longer show her temper to Feng Yuexiang like she did yesterday, now she is eager for the grandmother and grandson to get along, eager for Feng Yuexiang to smile at her more.

  "It's alright, Ah Huang doesn't need to blame herself." Then she beckoned with her hand, "Come quickly, sit in front of Grandma."

  The old lady stretched out her hand, and Feng Yuexiang took two steps forward, placing her small hand on the old lady's hand, then sat down beside her on a soft stool. After waiting for a while, she still didn't see the old lady ask a single question about Zi Rui's illness.

  Perhaps seeing Feng Yuexiang's unpleasant expression, Anshi's thoughts were transparent, how could she not understand that Feng Yuexiang was feeling cold? She simply opened her mouth and took the initiative to mention: "Second Miss, is Second Young Master's illness getting better?"

  Seeing An's question, the old lady also felt embarrassed and followed up with a question: "How is Zirui? Is it serious? Have you called a doctor?"

  Feng Chen Yu also asked with great concern: "The guest doctors in the mansion are all very skilled, has second sister gone to ask for their help?"

  Phoenix Feather's goal was just these few words "husband", she slightly raised her head, and subtly glanced at Madame Han, seeing that she seemed to be carefree while fiddling with her fingernails, but in fact, she was tense. Meanwhile, Madame Shen rolled her eyes, with a cold smile at the corner of her lips.

  Feng Yu Huan also sneered, then opened her mouth: "Return to Grandmother, I've seen the doctor." She glanced at Chen Yu again: "It was Doctor Xu that Mother took to Liu Garden this morning."

  As soon as he heard Master Xu, Chen Yu's face slightly darkened, others couldn't see anything wrong, but it didn't escape Feng Yuhuan's eyes.

  Even Han's movements of playing with her fingernails paused, and Shen also quieted down, just wanting to hear if Feng Zirui had taken the medicine or not.

  It seems like everyone was waiting for Feng Yuexian to continue speaking, but she didn't follow their wishes. Suddenly, she changed the subject and handed the small wooden box in her hand to the old lady: "As it happens, I just heard my mother say that she wanted to find a piece of sheep fat white jade for her grandmother's ring, so it seems that Grandmother should have this fate of wearing sheep fat white jade. Look..."

  She opened the box, and everyone stretched their necks to look over, only to see a crystal white jade ring quietly lying in the small wooden box. The texture of the jade was fine and smooth, without any blemishes, and at first glance, it was warm and moist, just like freshly cut mutton fat, with a luster as rich as condensed oil.

  The old lady's eyes began to shine, and she trembled as she reached for the object in the box, but was beaten to it by Feng Yuexia.

  The old lady was taken aback, and then she saw Feng Yuexiang respectfully put the jade ring on her thumb.

  "It's too beautiful!" Fen Dai exclaimed, "I've never seen such a perfect jade before."

  Xiang Rong also nodded and whispered: "I'm afraid that every year the sheep fat jade presented to the palace is not as good as this piece?"

  Feng Yu Huan saw that she had achieved the desired effect, so she handed the wooden box in her hand to Zhao Nian Niang, then pulled on the old lady's hand and said: "As long as Grandmother likes it, it won't be in vain for Ah Huan to think about helping Grandmother pick out gifts early this morning."

  The old lady now felt that it was wise to bring her granddaughter back from the northwest mountains. She patted Feng Yuexiang's hand repeatedly, trying every means to make her remember her kindness: "At first, I didn't want to send you away, and over the years, I've often mentioned it to your father. Fortunately, your father is considerate of my age, so he brought you back to dote on me."

  Feng Yu almost burst out laughing, this old lady is really something! To show off herself, she even abandoned her own son. Isn't this saying "originally your father didn't want to take you back, it was all because of my face"?

  She covered her mouth with her hand to hold back a burst of laughter, and after a while said: "Yes, Ahuang will definitely remember the great kindness of his grandmother." As she spoke, she took out the medicinal plaster that had been prepared in advance from her sleeve, and immediately, a special fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted through the hall.

  Mrs. Shen covered her nose and said with great disgust: "What is this? A strange smell! Get rid of it quickly!"

  Feng Yu Huan looked at Shen Shi with difficulty: "But... this is the plaster for grandmother's waist pain!"

  The old lady's eyes stood up straight, and she glared at Shen fiercely: "Don't you want me to get treatment? Or are you waiting for the day when I'm so crippled with back pain that I can't even stand up, and then you'll be the only one in charge of this household?"

  Seeing the old lady getting angry, Feng Chenyu quickly picked up her work again: "It's better to be cautious with medicinal things, Mother is worried about Grandmother." She said and asked Feng Yuhuan: "Second sister, where did these few pieces of plaster come from? Did they leave the house?"

  Feng Yu shook his head: "Since returning, I haven't left the mansion. These were given to me by a Persian eccentric I met in the northwest mountains. They are very precious and are the best medicine for treating my grandmother's waist disease."

  "Well, in that case, Grandma might as well give it a try." Feng Chenyu finally managed to extinguish the flames and quickly changed the subject, telling the old lady to see to her illness first.

  The old lady grunted and stopped paying attention to Shen Shi, but instead became interested in the medicinal plaster in Feng Yu's hand. After sniffing it again, she found that the smell was not as pungent as when she first took it out, and after smelling it for a long time, she even felt a hint of coolness.
