This sudden voice scared Han's soul away, and Feng Pian Dai was also frightened to the point of having a pale face.

  The two of them turned their heads to look and saw that at the entrance of the house was standing Qing Yu, a first-class maid from Tong Sheng Xuan.

  "It seems that I have come at an inopportune time, Madame Han and Fourth Miss are chatting first, I will wait outside for a while." Qing Yu's face was cold as she made a gesture to retreat.

  "Wait!" Mr. Han hastily stopped the person, "It's Qingyu! Oh my, what are you saying? You must have come here for a reason, there's no need to make you wait." After a pause, he added: "Fourth Miss hurt her arm and has become a bit irritable, Qingyu, don't take it to heart if you hear anything!"

  Qing Yu forced a smile and said, "The second young lady asked me to invite Madame Han to Tongsheng Hall, and also invited An Niangniang."

  "Ah!" Mr. Han was taken aback, "What did the second young lady say?"

  Qingyu glanced at Feng Pian Dai and said, "Second Miss had promised in front of Old Madam and Master that once the accounts of the three shops on Yao Niang's side were settled, if there was any surplus, it would be divided equally among Old Madam, Master, Third Miss, and Fourth Miss. Now that the accounts have been settled, please invite the two aunts over to discuss."

  As soon as it was about dividing the money, Feng Pian Dai came in a hurry and urged Han Shi: "You go quickly, you go quickly."

  Mr. Han turned back and stared at her for a moment, then said to Qingyu: "Miss, you go first, I'll be right there."

  Qing Yu nodded, "Then I'll go ahead first." After finishing speaking, she turned around and left.

  Han saw Qingyu walking away, only to return to Feng Pian's side after a few steps, stomping her feet in anger: "Unbridled mouth! That Qingyu is the top maid by Feng Yuhuan's side, and she's already putting on airs after just a few days. If what was said earlier is told to Feng Yuhuan, you'll be the one who suffers."

  "Hmm." Fen Dai also knew that it wasn't good to be overheard, so she hummed softly and stopped talking. But thinking again, she couldn't help but remind Han Shi: "Later when Feng Yu Heng is distributing the silver, you must remember to ask for more. An Niang's family has their own shop, and in the future, Rong'er's dowry won't be a problem. I'll have nothing!" As she spoke, she also gave Han Shi a sideways glance, "Not even a bit of real skill."

  Han was scolded by his daughter and felt extremely wronged in his heart, but he also knew that it was indeed his own incompetence and inability to accumulate dowry for Fen Dai.

  "The Feng family is just a bunch of bullies. They're all talk and no action, once they meet someone who can stand up to them, they lose their temper."

  Han's anger was that she just couldn't get past this idea: "That's a prince! What kind of temper can the Feng family have?"

  As soon as the Ninth Prince was mentioned, Fen Dai's energy surged again - "Why should marriage be hers? They are all illegitimate daughters, why did she get engaged to him? I remember that the original engagement was with the legitimate daughter."

  "What can be done?" Han hurried away, but couldn't help advising Fen Dai: "Even if you don't marry Feng Yu Hang, it's not your turn anyway. If they want a legitimate daughter, they'll go for Feng Chen Yu!"

  "Isn't the eldest daughter at home just taking turns sitting? Fěi Dài muttered to herself, not convinced: "Since it's taking turns sitting, sooner or later I'll get my turn! I'm not afraid of waiting." She looked at Hàn Shì again and said with a huff: "In the past, you knew how to curry favor with Shen Shì, what good did that do for you in the end? It wasn't even as much as what Fèng Yuè Huáng got from the tip of her finger! Alright, alright, hurry up and go, remember to ask for more silver, that's the real deal."

  Han was driven out by Fen Dai, and Fen Dai's twisted personality had already made her a bit pessimistic. Arrogant and domineering, just like Shen Shi. Even if Shen Shi has a good family background, she still ended up in this situation, what about Fen Dai? A concubine-born daughter, would the Feng family support her?

  Han's heart was filled with complex and anxious emotions as he walked towards Tongsheng Xuan, while also worrying about whether the coordination with Chen Yu that night would be pursued by Feng Yuhuang.

  Finally arriving at Tongsheng Pavilion, the maid guarding the small gate between Fengfu and Tongsheng Pavilion gave her a slight bow and led her inside.

  This was Mr. Han's first time coming here, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh: it's too luxurious.

  Although I knew it was a mansion, seeing it with my own eyes is a different feeling. No wonder Fan Dai is not reconciled, as an ordinary daughter, there is such a big difference, who can be reconciled?

  When she arrived at Feng Yuexiang's courtyard, Anshi had already arrived and was chatting with Feng Yuexiang. They were laughing and talking, looking lively and warm.

  Han wanted to join in, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the smile on her face hadn't even had time to emerge when Feng Yuexiang's originally warm demeanor suddenly turned cold, and he said to her, "Auntie Han is here!"

  Mr. Han opened his mouth again and closed it back, awkwardly nodding his head and bowing: "I've seen the second young lady."

  "En." Feng Yu Heng nodded and accepted her courtesy without saying "don't be polite", then continued: "Today, I called the two madams over, mainly because my side's accounts have been cleared up. The main wife has embezzled a total of 200,000 taels of silver over the years. As I said before, this money was meant to be used to show filial piety to our ancestors and father, and also to give some to our two younger sisters as part of their dowry. Since everyone has a share, please ask the two madams to follow me to see our ancestor and ask her to take back what belongs to us."

  Hearing her get straight to the point, he hastily nodded: "Good! Good!"

  Feng Yu Huan then reminded the two: "Now that the madam is being held in the temple, this account may become a headless account if it's not handled properly. I hope you two ladies can think of a solution."

  She said it was two aunts, but her eyes were always on Mrs. Han, making Mrs. Han feel uneasy.

  "Definitely, definitely." Hurriedly walked to An's side, "Sister An, let's help the second miss get the silver back together."

  Feng Yu Huan corrected her again, "It's helping you get your silver back." Then without waiting for Han Shi to respond, she lifted her foot and started walking forward, "Let's go, if we're late, Grandmother will be serving dinner soon."

  Then, the three of them headed towards Shuya Garden.

  When they arrived, the old lady was leaning back in her chair with her eyes closed, and a little maid was massaging her legs.

  Three people came together, and the little maid obviously hesitated for a moment. The old lady felt that the hand pinching her leg stopped for a while, and she couldn't help but frown: "Be more careful." As soon as her foot moved, she kicked the little maid to sit on the ground.

  Feng Yu hummed coldly in her heart and quickened her pace by two steps before opening her mouth to say, "Grandmother, is your leg uncomfortable?"

  The old lady, upon hearing Feng Yu's voice, quickly opened her eyes, waved her hand to shoo away the little maid, and then put on a smiling face to ask her: "Ah Huang, how did you come?" Then she looked at her back again, An Shi and Han Shi also followed together, "How did you all come together?"

  An and Han went forward to greet the old lady, just as Feng Yu Huan also walked up, stretched out her hand and pinched the old lady's leg twice. "En, nothing serious, if Grandmother feels uncomfortable, Ah Huan will go back and prepare some medicine to send over."

  "Ah! Good, good." The old lady loved to hear Feng Yuexiang tell her that he had brought medicine for her. In her opinion, the medicine in Feng Yuexiang's hands was all rare and precious, not only effective but also convenient to use. "Good granddaughter, sit down quickly. And you all don't stand there, sit down." Her attitude towards An Shi and Han Shi was obviously much colder, and she couldn't stop thinking about what intentions these three people had in coming together.

  Feng Yu Huan didn't need her to guess much, and she proactively spoke out: "Sun Niang and An Niang are coming over together, is it that you want Grandmother to be the host for us?"

  "Be in charge?" The old lady was taken aback, "In charge of what?"

  "Old lady, it's like this. The second young mistress has already investigated the accounts of the three shops clearly. Over the years, the madam has embezzled a total of 200,000 taels of silver from those shops."

  "Right! Old lady, 200,000 taels! This is no small sum, I almost got scared to death when I heard it! The madam's guts are really big."

  Feng Yu Huan followed the servant: "I don't know if Mother has handed over this money to Gong Zhong or not?" After glancing around at the furnishings in Old Lady's room, she shook her head again on her own, "It doesn't seem like it. If Gong Zhong had an additional 200,000 taels, why would Grandmother's room still be so shabby?"

  She said it on purpose, but in fact, the old lady's house was not shabby at all. In recent years, Shen Shi and Chen Yu have been trying to curry favor with her, and they haven't sent many things here. But no matter how much they send, it can't compare to Shen Shi's Golden Jade Courtyard.

  "Ah, yes! Old lady, you're heading towards the Golden Jade Temple, aren't you? That temple is truly a mountain of gold, I tell ya! It's really a hall filled with gold and jade!"

  The old lady was already stunned when she heard An say twenty thousand taels. She thought Shen would be greedy, but she didn't expect that evil woman to be so greedy. Moreover, comparing Feng Yuexiang and Han's house with Shen's Golden Jade Courtyard made her even more furious.

  "Shrew!" The old lady gritted her teeth in anger, "What did she report to the public? Every year, she complains that the public treasury is empty. I remember last time, wasn't it said that even making a skirt used ordinary fabric? If twenty million was indeed submitted, how could they not even have money to make a Shu brocade skirt?"

  "It's true." As soon as he mentioned this, Han Shi looked wronged. "Old lady, you should take charge for the younger generation! In recent years, the big madam has not bullied these young ladies and gentlemen a little bit. Last time, Second Young Master's bowl of medicine..."

  "Alright." The old lady thought of that bowl of medicine and got angry, then thought of Jin Zhen who was taken in because of that bowl of medicine and got even angrier. "That Ruyi Courtyard's person from before is also hers, don't know if she'll stir up any more trouble."

  Feng Yu comforted Old Lady, "Let's talk about the future later. At least for now, Jin Zhen is still safe and sound. Besides, she used to work in her mother's courtyard and was often beaten and punished, so she shouldn't be on the same side as her mother."

  "Hmph." The old lady grunted, "She doesn't dare to measure up either." Looking at Feng Yu Huang again, she asked on her own initiative: "Then what about this matter, Ah Huang have you thought it through?"

  Feng Yu nodded, "Ah Huang's plan was discussed with the elders in the mansion early on. Ah Huang doesn't want this silver, it will all be given to Grandmother and Father as filial piety, and a portion will also be set aside for Third Sister and Fourth Sister's dowry. However, now..."

  "An said: 'Now that the mistress is staying in the temple, who should we ask for this silver?'"

  Mr. Han also said with a wronged expression: "Can't it just be like this? Old lady, that's 200,000 yuan! And there's also the part for you to use to take care of yourself."

  The old lady thought for a moment, then turned her head and called Zhao Aiyi: "You go and call Chen Yu."
