Due to Han's fainting, the whole yard was in a state of panic. Feng Pian Dai also knew that she had caused trouble, but she didn't want to go forward and see how her mother's condition was, so she simply turned her head and ran out.

  In Songyuan, Feng Jin was staring blankly at the 3 million taels of silver bills brought by Shen Wanliang.

  Three million, he really wanted that three million. At present, there are many places to use money, Fengfu is still good, but the third prince's side has to make some substantial gestures. The Shen family's money was sent over, but it also came with conditions.

  "Brother-in-law." Shen Wanliang advised with a bitter tone, "My sister has many flaws, this is something the Shen family knows all too well. You should think about Chen Yu, even if you don't consider our years of marriage!"

  "Chen Yu will forever be the legitimate daughter of the Feng family." Feng Jin Yuan was resolute on this point.

  Shen Wanliang shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law isn't unaware of how formidable the second miss of the Feng family is. Chen Yu stole her position as the legitimate daughter, she's clearly come back for revenge. With her ruthless methods, I'm afraid Chen Yu won't even be left with bones to spare. Moreover, the ninth prince has no hope of ascending to the throne, if the Feng family can only protect one daughter... it's better to protect Chen Yu."

  Feng Jin's face sank, "Are you trying to interfere with my Feng family's affairs?"

  "Brother dare not." Shen Wanliang hastily bowed, "Brother is just worried about brother-in-law. Chen Yu has grown up to be like this, and with the words of Zi Yang Daoist back then, brother-in-law absolutely cannot give her up!"

  Feng Yuanyuan was annoyed by what he said, but in fact, he also thought similarly to Shen Wanliang. Even if Feng Yuhuang still had the momentum now, the Ninth Prince would never become the Emperor, and even with the support of the Imperial Uncle Wang and the Wenxuan Palace, what could she do? One day, when the current emperor passed away, how could the new emperor tolerate the Ninth Prince continuing to act arbitrarily?

  He put the silver ticket into his sleeve and said to Shen Wanliang: "I have a plan for this matter, you can go back now."

  Shen Wanliang saw Feng Jinyuan take the silver ticket and felt a sense of relief in his heart. Since he was willing to accept the money, that was good enough. He was also a clever person and would not do anything too pressing. Now that Feng Jinyuan had said so, he might as well go back and wait. It wouldn't be long before his sister returned to the mansion.

  After Shen Wanliang left, An Wei reappeared in front of Feng Jiyuan and asked him: "Is the Pu Du An side calm?"

  An Wei replied: "Since the last time we had contact with the Shen family, Madame has not cried or made a fuss again. During the day, she can still follow the young ladies to do some chores."

  Feng Jin nodded: "It seems that her brother did give her a lifesaving idea. Alright, you can go down now."

  Dark guard flashed and disappeared.

  Feng Jin Yuan was grinding his teeth, intending to go back to the Han's residence, but after leaving Songyuan, his feet uncontrollably walked towards Ruyi Yard. After all, Jin Zhen was young and had a thread that tied Feng Jin Yuan, making him unable to let go.

  When he arrived at Ruyi Institute, Jin Zhen had just received the news that Han Shi was so angry that she fainted. Seeing Feng Jinyuan coming over as if nothing had happened, he knew that he must not have heard about it yet. He hastily instructed the maid guarding the institute: "Later on, no matter who comes or what happens, do not disturb Master under any circumstances. If someone makes a scene, drag them out for me, and drag them far away."

  The girl nodded in agreement, and Feng Jin Yuan's voice also rang out: "It's late at night, why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

  Jin Zhen quickly put on that enchanting smile, and in a soft, fluffy voice replied to him: "If I fall asleep, then there will be no one waiting for Master." While speaking, she hooked her arm around Feng Jin Yuan's waistband and pulled him into the house.

  Feng Jin Yuan was a bit distracted today, and although Jin Zhen felt that his skills were up to par, he couldn't shake off Feng Jin Yuan's desire to chat with him.

  She sat up straight and asked Feng Jin Yuan while massaging his legs: "Sir, is there something on your mind?"

  Feng Jin Yu stroked her chin for a moment, then grabbed Jin Zhen's wrist and looked at the scar on her forearm, asking: "How did you get this?"

  Jin Zhen felt a warmth in his heart and immediately put on a wronged expression: "In the past, I did something wrong and was scalded by the madam."

  "What's with the perm?" Feng Jinyuan furrowed his brow, "What did she use to perm it?"

  Jin Zhen told him, "With the red-hot iron block, that's something the lady of the house specially uses to brand those who disobey her. Whoever doesn't follow her orders, she'll heat it up in the brazier and deliberately scald them in places where their clothes can cover."

  Feng Jin Yuan suddenly felt a surge of anger, and with a swift motion, he sat up straight, remaining silent for a long time.

  Just as Jin Zhen thought he was sympathizing with himself for being scalded by Shen Shi, and was about to say a few comforting words, Feng Jinyuan said: "She has always been that kind of temper, the Shen family lived in the old house when they were wealthy, and their daughter was only her, spoiled, you don't have to hold it against her too much."

  Jin Zhen blinked, somewhat unresponsive to Feng Jinyuan's words. Was he speaking up for the Shen family? But... why? Weren't they all sent to the temple already? Could it be that this was going to reignite a dead flame?

  "Whatever the master says." She was a clever woman, Feng Jin Yuan said this naturally had his reasons, at this moment she must follow along, "I am originally the madam's slave, if I did something wrong then I should be punished, why mention resentment."

  Feng Jin nodded, "It's good that you think this way. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly in the future. Later on, you will also be helping the Feng family to branch out and flourish. Give birth to a boy or girl, I will definitely treat them well."

  Jin Zhen's stomach churned again as soon as she heard this. She turned her head away, pretending to be shy, and managed to suppress that nauseating feeling.

  "Sleep." Feng Jinyuan pulled her into the quilt, and the two of them fell asleep with their own thoughts.

  Jin Zhen couldn't sleep well, and the news Feng Jin Yuan passed on was that Shen Shi might turn over again, which wasn't a good sign.

  The next morning, before Feng Yuexiang had a chance to go and pay her respects to Old Madam, Jin Zhen hastily came looking for her. Seeing this, Feng Yuexiang guessed that she wouldn't be able to make it to Shu Ya Garden either, so she told Yao Shi to apologize to Old Madam on her behalf, then took Jin Zhen back to their room.

  "Second Miss." Jin Zhen was anxious, "The matter that I discussed with Second Miss last time, has Second Miss made a decision?"

  Feng Yu's eyes narrowed, "I said that it was a life, I may understand medicine, but that is for saving people, not for killing."

  "This child can't be considered a person yet." Jin Zhen hastily explained, "It was my own will, if it's a sin, it's my own sin, it can't be blamed on Second Miss." She thought for a moment and then said straightforwardly: "Second Miss just needs to give me a medicine that can abort this fetus, I...I'll give Second Miss a big gift."

  "Oh?" Feng Yu Heng found this to be very strange, but immediately thought of last night when Ban Zou told her that the Shen family had entered the Feng manor and had a long conversation with Feng Jin Yuan. She had a rough idea in her mind, it was probably related to the Shen family. This Jin Zhen must have known something. "You go back first, I'll think about it some more."

  "Second Miss." Jin Zhen said helplessly: "Second Miss, you'd better hurry up!" While saying this, she stroked her own belly, "In a little while... I'm afraid it won't be hidden anymore."

  Feng Yu nodded and dismissed Jin Zhen.

  Two months is not a lot of time for her to hesitate. Otherwise, when she starts showing at three months, it will be hard to hide it even if she wants to. Moreover, after three months, using medicine to abort would also be more dangerous.

  She helplessly sighed, it seemed that helping Jin Zhen with the abortion was something she had to do after all. Once Jin Zhen's matter was exposed, there would be no benefits for her at all. The only thing lacking now was an opportunity. This child couldn't just be aborted in vain, but what exactly was this great gift that Jin Zhen spoke of?

  "Ban Zou." She called out, and Ban Zou immediately appeared. Feng Yu Heng had thought about asking Ban Zou where he usually hid and slept, but considering the nature of a dark guard's work, it was not something they were willing to reveal to others, so she gave up on the idea. "Go take a trip to Pu Du Temple and see if there are any movements from the Shen family."

  Bān walked over and nodded, asking: "Now?"

  "Alright, now."

  "You'd better not go out of the mansion, Master."

  Phoenix feather stroked her forehead, "I know."

  Ban walked swiftly and disappeared from sight. She looked around for a while, making sure Ban had gone far away, before calling out to Wang Chuan, "Quickly, change into ordinary clothes, let's go take a look at the Ding An Wang Fu."

  Wang Chuan pouted, "Who just agreed to let Ban leave the house?"

  "It's okay!" Feng Yuhan patted Wang Chuan's shoulder, "We're not leaving the city, what danger could there be in broad daylight?"

  Wang Chuan thought to himself, in the capital city, there were people from the Ninth Prince everywhere, and the Ding An Wang Fu had even more hidden guards. If anything unexpected happened, she could call out her own people to protect Feng Yu Huang at any time. So he agreed, went back to his room to change his clothes, and followed Feng Yu Huang out of the Feng Fu.

  Until he walked on the streets of the capital, Feng Yu Heng only then understood what kind of impact the second burning of the Ding An Palace had caused in the capital. Not only were people walking through the alleys discussing it, even the storytellers at tea houses were telling it as a story to everyone. Those who couldn't afford tea money but still wanted to hear the story were all sticking their heads into the windows of the tea house, afraid of missing every detail.

  Feng Yu Huan listened for a while, shook her head and laughed: "A story is just a story, exaggerating it, no matter how you put it, you can't burn the Ding An Wang Fu to ashes, what kind of fire would that be!"

  A passerby who overheard her words disapprovingly said, "This young lady doesn't know the whole story. Yesterday's fire started burning right after noon and continued until midnight, not a single horse in Duke Ding An's estate was left unscathed."

  "Feng Yu Huan's spirit returned: 'What about that person? The horse was burned to death, did the person run out?'"

  "I heard that the Qingyue County Princess's hair was all burned off, and the Ding'an King's Consort even had her eyebrows completely burned away." The person shook his head as he spoke, "But whether it's true or not is hard to say."

  Feng Yu Huan stopped asking more questions and pulled Wang Jiang to quicken their pace towards the Ding An Wang Fu. She was actually looking forward to Xuan Tian Ming's masterpiece, if the big fire really burned for as long as people said, then wouldn't the Ding An Wang Fu be left with nothing?

  The two of them almost ran all the way to the Ding'an Wang Fu, and when they were about to arrive, Feng Yu Huan looked around and saw that it was a vast empty space. She asked Wang Chu in surprise: "Did we take the wrong path?"

  Wang Chuan shook his head, "That's right, it's here."

  "What about the palace?"

  Wang Chuan pointed to the place surrounded by a crowd in front: "It was supposed to be there."
