Chapter 79: Are you called Feng Chenyu or Shen Chenyu?

  When Feng Chen arrived, she had already heard from Zhao's mother about the course of events. Although she had slowed down her pace to give herself more time to think, by the time she reached Shu Ya Garden, she still hadn't figured out what to do with this matter.

  She didn't know why the old lady had called her over. Was it to make her move out of the Golden Jade Courtyard and compensate Feng Yuexiang for the courtyard? This was the worst plan that Feng Chenyu could think of.

  "Give greetings to the young lady." As soon as Shen Yu entered, An Shi and Han Shi both stood up voluntarily. Han Shi didn't even dare look at Feng Shen Yu, feeling that it was better to distance herself from Shen Yu for now. No matter what developments this young lady would have in the future, she had to get through the present situation first.

  "There's no need for the two aunts to be so polite." Chen Yu was still gentle in nature, and she gave An Shi and Han Shi a slight assist as they stood up. Once they were on their feet, she turned to the elderly woman and bowed, "Chen Yu greets her grandmother."

  "Get up quickly." The old lady hurriedly asked Zhao to help Shen up, "Sit down and talk." No matter how dissatisfied she was with Shen, this granddaughter was, in the old lady's eyes, just like Feng Youhuang, a treasure. Feng Youhuang was currently powerful, but Feng Chenyu couldn't be offended, she was the hope of the Feng family's future, whether the Feng clan could thoroughly rise or not depended on Feng Chenyu.

  "I don't know why Grandmother called me, but is there something going on?" Chen Yu sat down beside Feng Yuhe and asked the old lady, "Just now I heard Zhao Ayi say some things, but I didn't understand. Mother is currently in Pudu Temple praying for blessings for the Feng family, what did Grandmother call me here for?"

  Her meaning is very clear, you've thrown my mother out, now can't let me pay the money back? What money could I, an unmarried girl, have?

  The old lady, of course, didn't think so. She could be kind to Shen Yu, but she absolutely couldn't tolerate the Shen family and even more couldn't let them off scot-free. On the way back from Pu Du Temple, Feng Jin Yuan told her some things about the Shen family, and only then did she know that what happened that night was indeed true, it's just that it had already been settled by a master next to Feng Yu Huan, but the Shen family who hired assassins behind the scenes was thoroughly remembered by the old lady.

  "Since Chen Yu already knows about this, then Grandma won't beat around the bush. The money your mother didn't hand over to Gong Zhongwen is clearly written in the account book here. Since she can't come back from the temple, Chen Yu, you notify the Shen family and they'll return the money Shen Shi embezzled. A total of 200,000 taels, delivered to the Feng manor within three days, not a single penny less."

  "What?" Feng Chenyu was so surprised that she stood up, "Grandmother, are you serious about this?"

  The old lady was also a bit displeased. She just wanted the Shen family to spit out the money they had embezzled, did this granddaughter have to react so strongly?

  "It's only natural." The old lady's face sank, "Xianyu is still young and hasn't married yet, she doesn't know the rules of managing a household. Shen's family knows who they gave their ill-gotten gains to, now that they're being asked to return the Feng family's money, it seems your uncles have nothing to say either."

  "But mother is a member of the Feng family! She married into the Feng family, so she's a member of the Feng family. Even if she did something wrong and wasted money, it shouldn't be the Shen family who pays for it."

  "What did I say that you don't understand?" The old lady was truly angry this time, and she slammed her hand on the table. "Sun Yu, if you don't understand, I'll tell you straight out: your mother took all the money and gave it to the Shen family! The Shen family used this money to expand their business, curry favor with the powerful, and even...!" She wanted to say that they had even hired assassins to kill the daughter of the Feng family. Now that I've taken the money back, what's wrong? What's wrong?!

  But the old lady didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that Feng Yu Huo won't speak. She turned her head to look at Feng Chen Yu and said in a low tone: "You actually dare to collude with Jianghu people to make things difficult for the Feng family. Eldest sister, don't plead for the Shen family, just tell them the truth, I think the Shen family will understand the reason."

  Feng Yu Huan and the old lady's conversation, intelligent as An Shi, naturally understood the reasoning behind it. It turned out that what happened that night was actually done by the Shen family! Truly ruthless and cunning.

  "Old lady." An Shi spoke again, "I think the Shen family is also reasonable. Moreover, they do business in the capital and have taken on many imperial orders. If it weren't for our Feng Manor's support, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to take a single step. The Grand Lady is currently at Pudu Temple...". She turned her attention to Feng Chen Yu, "The eldest miss should find someone suitable to talk to the Shen family again."

  This is clearly a reminder to Feng Chenyu, think of your mother, think of the wealth and nobility of the Shen family.

  The phoenix sinks and the fish is speechless.

  All along, the wealthy Shen family has been their backing. With the Shen family's money, the Feng family, who are nobles, would have a place for them. 200,000? Not to mention 200,000, over the years, the Shen family has invested hundreds of millions in the Feng manor, why haven't they seen the Feng family say they want to repay? The Shen family only embezzled 200,000, and this is how the Feng family behaves!

  Feng Chen looked fiercely at Feng Yu Huang, she knew that all the troubles were caused by this younger sister.

  "What's wrong with you looking at me like that, elder sister?" Feng Yuexiang smiled and said, "You wouldn't dare disobey grandmother's words, would you? That would be unfilial. The Great Shun Dynasty places great importance on filial piety, if your actions this time are spread out, it might not be good for your future prospects, elder sister. You should think more about yourself."

  The words reminded Feng Chenyu again.

  Yes, she has to think for herself. She can't rely on her mother or brother, so she can only rely on her father. And her father's mother is an old lady, she can only secure her own safety and future by keeping the most important people in line.

  Forget it, she'll just bear with it for now. When the day comes that she rises to great heights, these debts will be settled one by one.

  Chen Yu gave Feng Yuhuan a fierce glare, then turned to the old lady and softened: "Granddaughter understands, please don't worry, Granddaughter will write to Uncle immediately and ask him to prepare the silver and send it to the mansion as soon as possible."

  "En." The old lady nodded in satisfaction, "You can think so, it's not in vain that the Feng family has been kind to you." The old lady finally put her mind at ease, she was really afraid that Chen Xun would refuse. To be sure, these 200,000 yuan were not required to be paid into the public fund, Feng Yuexiang said they would all be distributed among them.

  The old lady calculated that she would get one share, Feng Jin Yuan would get one share, and Xiang Rong and Fen Dai would each get one share. That is to say, the 200,000 would be divided into four shares, with each share being 50,000. She wouldn't dare ask for Xiang Rong's and Fen Dai's shares, but Feng Jin Yuan was her son, and based on his personality, even if she didn't ask, he would definitely give that one share to her. This way, she could get 100,000 taels herself. 100,000 taels!

  The old lady was getting happier and happier, but at this time, she heard Feng Yuexian say another sentence: "The problem of silver has been solved, then let's come and calculate those antiques that were replaced by Qibaozhai."

  Phoenix sank and the fish took a mouthful of silver teeth - "Second sister, Shen's family is not an inexhaustible treasure trove!"

  "Huh?" Feng Yuhan was puzzled, "Big sister, are you called Feng Chenyu or Shen Chenyu? Why are we now searching for things for the Feng family, but you keep talking about the Shen family? The Shen family stole from the Feng family, as a member of the Feng family, it's already bad enough that you don't share the same hatred for our enemies, how can you turn around and accuse us?"

  Han also followed with a sentence: "Yes, young lady, you are after all a member of the Feng family."

  Feng Yu Huan continued, "Just now when I returned to the manor, Father told me that I am a daughter of the Feng family and only if the Feng family prospers will I have a good future. When I get married and go to my husband's household, I will then have dignity. Doesn't elder sister think so?"

  Two people sang and harmonized together, so much that they left Feng Xian (a famous Chinese singer) speechless.

  "What does that second sister want?" Chen Yu was so angry that his liver hurt.

  "I didn't think of anything else." Feng Yuhan said quietly, fiddling with her fingernails: "I just thought that when I see the Royal Highness again, I should tell him that there seems to be a connection between wealthy families in the capital and those in the jianghu, and there's even a lead about someone hiring assassins with money to kill government officials, please ask the Royal Highness to investigate."

  "Feng Yu Han!" Chen Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, pointing directly at Feng Yu Han and scolding: "You cheap person! You have no evidence, what makes you say that the Shen family hired someone to kill you? What kind of thing are you?"

  "Hey!" Feng Yuexia retorted, "When did I say the Shen family hired a hitman? And when did I say the hitman was here to kill me? Big sister, you're incriminating yourself. Moreover, I'm the daughter of the Feng family, what are you calling me?"

  The two sisters were at odds with each other, and the old lady was almost out of breath from their bickering. She casually picked up a tea bowl and smashed it to the ground, "Bang" went the sound of the shattered bowl, which finally put an end to the commotion.

  "Oh, Phoenix!" The old lady was extremely disappointed with Feng Xinyu. In her eyes and heart, this eldest granddaughter had always been gentle and kind, with a compassionate heart like that of a Bodhisattva. How could she have just seen the shadow of Shen's family on Xinyu's body? Was it really true that "like mother, like daughter"? "You've let me down."

  The old lady shook her head and refused to go see Feng Chenyu.

  Feng Chen Yu was extremely wronged and pointed at Feng Yu Heng: "Grandmother, why don't you say that Second Sister is in the wrong?"

  The old lady saw that she still didn't know how to repent and was still pointing out others' mistakes, so she couldn't help but get angry again - "Your second sister is telling the truth! Xianyu, have you been blinded by the Shen family? Why don't you take a good look at what kind of people they are? Ahuang is not wrong at all, they are just relying on their wealth to be overbearing. Today I'm putting my words here, Xianyu, tell the Shen family that the Feng manor doesn't know everything, they can do whatever they want outside, but if they point their knife at the Feng manor, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

  The old lady's words came out, and Feng Chenyu was truly frightened.

  The old lady knew about it, which means her father also knew. How much did they know? But did she know that she was the insider of the Shen family?

  The fish's heart sank deeper and deeper, and the excitement just now also gradually subsided.

  An Shi timely added a sentence: "Young lady, you are indeed from the Feng family."

  Yes! She is a member of the Feng family! No matter what kind of future she has, the Shen family can't help at all. Her lifelong career still depends on the Feng family.

  The gloom on Chen Yu's face gradually dissipated, and the anger on his face slowly faded away.

  At last, she stepped forward and knelt down in front of the old lady: "The granddaughter knows her mistake, just as grandmother said, the granddaughter was blinded by the Shen family, please rest assured that it won't happen again."

  The old lady nodded, "It's good that you think so."

  Feng Yu Huan also smiled, "Since big sister has figured it out, let's contact the Shen family as soon as possible." She said, pulling out a piece of paper from her sleeve, "This is the list of missing antiques from Qi Bao Zhai. If the Shen family can't return them in full, I'll report the loss to the authorities and have them handled as lost property. By then, if anything else is found on the Shen family or Jin Yu Yuan, it will be considered tainted goods."
