Feng Jin Yuan was furious - "Shrew!" The thing he hated most in his life was that someone mentioned the help of the Shen family to the Feng family in front of him, although it was indeed the case, and he couldn't change this situation even after three years. But facts are facts, and when put on the table, it doesn't sound so good. The great Left Prime Minister relying on women to support and manipulate, what kind of talk is that?

  "You poisonous woman!" Feng Jin Yuan took the cloak from the young servant and wrapped it around his body, then turned to walk to the table and picked up the bowl that only had medicine dregs left, "You yourself sent Xiaoyu to deliver this kind of thing, now that something has happened you still dare to scold me? What use do I have for a mistress like you?"

  "You dare to divorce me?!" Shen Shi wasn't afraid at all, "Feng Jin Yuan you ungrateful bastard, if you have the guts then divorce me! If not, I'll separate from you and cut off all ties with you!"

  Feng Chenyu was startled and said, "Mother, don't talk nonsense!"

  When Feng Yu heard the two words "he li", she realized that it was almost like a divorce in ancient times, but she didn't expect that there would still be such a thing as divorce in this era. But what's with the absolute break-off, she didn't understand. Looking at Chen Yu's tense expression, she tilted her head and asked Wang Chuan in a low voice: "What's the difference between 'he li' and 'absolute break-off'?"

  Wang Chuan explained to her in a soft voice: "What is meant by 'he' and 'li', is that it emphasizes the importance of harmony, husband and wife voluntarily separate, without hurting each other's feelings, from then on they are no longer related. In ancient times, society was also relatively tolerant of women who had been through a divorce, and would not be criticized to the point of being unable to survive. Under the system of 'he' and 'li', there is also the provision for 'xiu qi' (divorce)..."

  Feng Yu nodded: "I understand about leaving a wife."

  Wang Chuan didn't explain much, and then said: "Yi Jue is enforced by the government, the reason being that one of the spouses has committed one of the 'seven outs' crimes, or if a relative of one spouse has physically harmed, insulted, killed, injured, or raped a relative of the other spouse, it is considered as breaking off the relationship between husband and wife, regardless of whether both parties agree or not. The government will investigate and enforce their separation."

  Feng Yu nodded slightly, it turned out that the situation was so severe. No wonder Chen Yu was so tense when he heard Shen's shout. If Shen really had a falling out with Feng Jin Yuan, she would have almost no way to survive in this era. Although it sounds unpleasant, Feng Jin Yuan did not violate any major rules, and Master taking in a young maid is quite normal.

  Shen Shi didn't think so - "I'm not talking nonsense!" She climbed down from Jin Zhen's body, grabbed Feng Jiyuan's clothes and slapped him. Although Feng Jiyuan dodged the slap, he was still scratched by Shen Shi's long fingernails, and a bloody mark instantly appeared on his face.

  "Master!" The usually sharp-eyed and considerate Han Shi rushed forward first, not caring if Shen Shi was still fuming. In her eyes, Feng Jin Yuan was her only reliance, especially in this situation. The more she showed consideration and magnanimity, the more she could capture a man's heart. "Master, are you alright?" Han Shi had tears welling up in her eyes as she took out a handkerchief to gently dab at Feng Jin Yuan's wound.

  The old lady saw her son being beaten by his wife, and was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. She had lived for half a lifetime, but this was the first time she had seen such a scene. Which woman from which family dared to beat a man? Was Shen's wife an animal?

  Right, it must be a beast!

  The old lady spoke her mind, blurting out a sentence: "Bastard!" She scolded Shen so severely that he trembled all over.

  "Who are you scolding?" Shen's eyes were red, she really wanted to beat the whole family to death with a stick, leaving no one alive except for her Chen Yu.

  "I'm scolding you!" The old lady swung her cane at Shen's body, "Bastard! I've lived to this age, and it's the first time I've seen a bastard like you!"

  "Shen grabbed the staff with one hand: 'This is all your son's doing!'"

  Madam Zhao was afraid that Old Madam Shen would get overexcited and have a relapse, so she hastily stepped forward to grasp her hand while kindly advising: "Milady, please say less!"

  "Get out of my way!" Shen raised her foot to kick Zhao, but suddenly felt a gust of wind and saw that her foot had been blocked by something. She lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud, rolling twice due to her round body.

  Chen Yu hastily went over to support them, and only then did Zhao's heart still racing see clearly that it was Second Miss Feng Yuhuang who had somehow appeared in front of them. Her two thin small arms stretched out and steadily supported the two elderly women.

  "Be careful, Grandma."

  Madam Feng cast a grateful glance at Feng Yu Heng, "Good child." Then she pointed to Shen: "What good deed did my son do?" Again pointing to Jin Zhen: "This is the maid from your room! Open your dog eyes wide and take a good look, this is the maid from your own room!"

  This is true, Shen was so blocked that he didn't know what to say, had no place to vent his anger, and turned around to go beat Jin Zhen again.

  Jin Zhen was already frightened out of her wits, she thought Shen Shi would go crazy, but didn't think it would be this severe, and involuntarily cast a pleading glance at Feng Jin Yuan.

  Feng Jinyuan was being supported by Han Shi at this moment, because the medicine's effect had just dissipated, and beads of sweat were still continuously dripping from his forehead. Han Shi gently wiped them away for him, seeing that Feng Jinyuan's gaze towards Jin Zhen was filled with pity, her heart skipped a beat again. But she was a concubine, knowing that in this situation, she absolutely could not be on the same level as Shen Shi, so she hastily instructed the maid beside her: "Quickly, have Miss Jin Zhen move further away."

  The girl's hands and feet were also nimble, she pulled up Jin Zhen and retreated to the side, Shen Shi pounced on an empty space, and was so angry that she jumped straight into the house.

  The fish was about to cry, and kept advising: "Mother, calm down, mother must calm down!"

  Feng Yu Huan came with an attitude of watching a play, and didn't think much of it, but only scared Fen Dai and Xiang Yun.

  Two young children can't withstand such a thing. After some thought, An Shi hastily said to the old lady: "I'll take Third Miss and Fourth Miss away first."

  The old lady nodded in approval, and indeed this scene should not be seen by two young girls who had not experienced the world. She said, "Take them back quickly and have the kitchen cook some calming soup."

  An Shi bowed her head and left with Xiang Rong and Fen Dai. As she was leaving, she glanced at Feng Yu Heng with a worried look in her eyes.

  Feng Yu Huan shook her head slightly and watched the three members of the An family leave, before taking a few more steps into the house to stand in front of Shen Shi. With a worried expression, she said: "Mother, didn't you forget about this matter after finishing your medicine? Otherwise, why would you keep sitting in grandmother's room and not come to father's place?" As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, her face flushing red with embarrassment.

  Shen bit her teeth and glared at Feng Yu Huang with a gaze that could spit out fire.

  "Oh dear!" Feng Yu Heng seemed to have thought of something and continued: "It's all the fault of that servant girl who delivered the medicine, mistakenly sending such a large replenishing tonic to our side for Zi Rui to drink."

  The old lady suddenly felt a chill and found her back drenched in sweat. "What kind of medicine was that?"

  Feng Yu Huan replied: "At the time in Liu Yuan, Sun girl had already seen it, it's a nourishing tonic soup."

  The old lady was worried: "Ah Huang, you know medicine, take another look."

  Feng Yu Huan responded and walked forward, about to take the bowl from Feng Jin Yuan's hands. However, Shen Shi suddenly erupted again, rushing forward and knocking the bowl to the ground with a loud crash. The last remaining bit of medicinal broth was spilled, leaving nothing to be seen.

  "Medicine is just medicine! What's there to look at? Which of them hasn't sent such medicine to the old master before?" Shen stared at Han, staring so hard that she felt a chill run down her spine.

  Feng Yu didn't bother with her and took two more steps forward. He bowed to Feng Jin Yuan and said, "May I borrow your wrist for a moment, Father?"

  After saying that, he didn't wait for Feng Jin Yuan's response and reached out to grab his wrist. Just a moment later, he let go and said with relief: "Fortunately, it was only one bowl. If he had drunk a little more, Father's life would have been in danger!"

  Everyone was stunned, and the old lady asked tightly: "What medicine is it after all?"

  She turned around and said to the old lady, "It's a special medicinal tonic for men, and it's very potent. The dosage is quite strong." After saying that, she couldn't help but worry, "If Zǐ Ruì had drunk this, his life would have been gone long ago."

  Bang!

  Feng Jin Yuan slapped Shen Shi's face fiercely, thinking it wasn't enough to vent his anger, so he continued to beat him back and forth until Chen Yu knelt down and begged him to stop.

  "Poisonous woman!" Feng Jin Yuan once again gave this definition to Shen Shi.

  Chen Yu couldn't bear to take care of Shen Shi anymore. She felt that if she stood on Shen Shi's side again, her father would probably be disgusted with her too.

  Chen Yu, who had always been well-versed in this way, responded to the sudden event with ease. She saw herself shrinking down to the ground, hugging her knees, burying her head in her lap, and shaking her shoulders pitifully.

  Feng Jin Yuan couldn't bear to see Chen Yu like this, and he couldn't help but point at Chen Yu and say to Shen Shi: "Why didn't you consider Chen Yu's feelings before doing or saying anything?"

  One sentence awakened Shen.

  Shen's family was also worried, thinking that if Feng Jueyuan really agreed, what would happen to Shen Yu? She still hoped to rely on her beauty and wealth in the future! She couldn't let her own grievances ruin Shen Yu's noble life as the mother of a nation.

  When Shen's family stopped shouting, Feng Yuexiang took the initiative to go forward and support Chen Yu. Chen Yu raised his head and saw that it was Feng Yuexiang, with a hint of darkness in his eyes, but then he thought of something and said to the old lady: "Grandmother, there is something fishy about this matter, the doctor who prescribed the medicine must have a problem."

  She shifted the blame to Dr. Xu, only because she had previously heard Feng Yuexiang mention Dr. Xu in Shuya Garden, and she immediately understood that something was going on here, so she secretly sent a servant girl to inform Dr. Xu to leave the mansion quickly. Now that person must have run away long ago, it's just right to shift the trouble elsewhere.

  Feng Yu Huan listened to her and also nodded: "Big sister is right, such a dosage is almost poisonous, father was murdered, I hope mother will understand."

  Chen Yu got up and went to Shen's side, also advising: "Yes, it must be that the doctor had a problem, don't blame Father, Mother."

  "Hmph!" Feng Jinyuan let out a low hum.

  "But it's strange, how did Jin Zhen know that the medicine was sent incorrectly?"

  Jin Zhen knew that when Feng Chen Yu pushed the matter onto Xu Daifu, Xu Daifu must have already left the mansion. Otherwise, the usually strict and proper eldest miss wouldn't say such a thing.

  Since the person had already run away, Jin Zhen no longer had any worries and hastily replied: "It was the maid from Guest House who came to find me at Golden Jade House and told me that the medicine was sent incorrectly." She then turned to Feng Yuexiang and said: "The old lady from Liu Garden can be a witness!"

  Feng Yu He smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything.

  She didn't intend to make things too difficult for Jin Zhen, keeping this little servant around, who could cause trouble for Shen's family at any time and place, just thinking about it was a delightful thing. Moreover, she had the upper hand in her own hands, so she wasn't afraid of Jin Zhen causing trouble.

  "Then let's hurry to the guest house and bring Master Xu over!" Feng Yuhan looked at Feng Jinyuan, "Father has really suffered."

  Feng Jin Yuan nodded slightly, glanced at Shen Shi, and his eyes were filled with annoyance.

  The old lady said: "Go and bring Dr. Xu to Songyuan!"
