Chapter 99: This Explosive Temper

  Feng Yu Huan moved into the crowd, and soon heard people whispering: "I heard that true gold is not afraid of fire refining, can you guys dig out a gold ingot from these ash piles? After all, it's a royal mansion, it can't be that there isn't even a single gold ingot."

  "We wouldn't even get a share of the gold! Didn't you see that after the fire was extinguished, a group of soldiers rushed in and searched the place? They must have taken away any gold there was!"

  "Alas, what a pity! Such a grand imperial palace, gone just like that."

  Feng Yu rubbed her eyes, staring at the ruins in front of her... Oh, to be precise, it should be a gray ruin. She asked Wang Qu: "Is this the Ding'an King's Mansion?"

  "It's... okay..."

  Alright! Feng Yu Huan stroked his forehead, and indeed, not a single hair was left. Even the stone carving at the entrance was smashed to pieces.

  "This is a deep-seated grudge against the Ding'an Wangfu, to be burned to such an extent. In the past, when a garden was burned, people could still repair it, but now... If they want to come back and live here again, I'm afraid they should just rebuild from scratch?"

  Wang Chuan told her: "Your Highness must have been venting for Miss, the things that happened at King Ding'an's birthday banquet that day, Your Highness can't not know. The Ding'an Wangfu bullied Miss so much, it would be strange if Your Highness could bear it."

  Feng Yu's mouth twitched... This explosive temper.

  Just then, a group of urchins came running up from the main street, singing as they ran: "Phoenix General, what a rare wonder! Wives changed and changed again. Every woman can be a wife, now even Golden Carp is to be abandoned!"

  Xiang Wang Fu

  The third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, looked at Feng Jin Yuan who was sitting below him, and didn't speak for a long time. This person was born with a majestic and overbearing appearance, even when he wasn't expressing any emotions, he still looked like he was angry. Moreover, Xuan Tian Ye rarely smiled, his surroundings were always shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere that made people feel chilled to the bone.

  Feng Jin Yuanci had only sat for a short while when he felt the back of his neck being blown by cold wind, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at him from behind. He turned around but couldn't see anyone's shadow.

  Finally, Xuantian Ye spoke up. Unlike Xuantian Ming's lazy and arrogant tone, Xuantian Ye's voice was as cold as a thousand years of icy frost, with each word carrying an icy edge - "Fengxiang, this king wants to borrow the phoenix's life from Chenyu, but have you ever seen any phoenix that is born out of wedlock?"

  Feng Jin suddenly stood up, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, "Don't worry, Your Highness Xiang Wang, Chen Yu is the eldest daughter of the Feng family, this will never change."

  "Is that so?" Xuan Tian Ye glared at Feng Jin Yuan, "It seems you don't often go out on the streets. Go and listen for yourself, even the beggars on the street corners know that your family is planning to replace your legitimate daughter with someone else. Why can you still speak with such conviction?"

  Feng Jin Yuan's head was bursting with anger. He had heard the rumors circulating outside, but just as he was about to think of a way to stop them, someone was summoned to Xiang Wang Fu!

  "Your Highness, I will definitely quell the rumors as soon as possible and protect the position of the eldest daughter of the Shen family." After some thought, he added: "The mother of Shen Yu is currently in the temple praying for good fortune for the Feng family, it's been a few days now. I will send someone to bring her back soon."

  "En." Xuan Tianye finally reined in his momentum, "A legitimate daughter should be proper and upright. Her mother can die, but throwing her into a temple is not acceptable?"

  Feng Jin Yuan nodded repeatedly, at the same time reaching into his sleeve and handing over to Xuan Tian Ye the 3 million yuan silver note that Shen Wan Liang had sent over yesterday. "I know that Your Highness is in need of money at this time, I hope you will accept this small token."

  Xuān Tiān's eyes glanced at the silver ticket, and his mood also improved. "Fèng Xiàng, what are you doing?"

  Feng Jin Yuan continued to move forward and said: "As I have already followed Your Highness, it is only right that I should share your worries. I hope Your Highness will not despise me."

  Xuantian Ye no longer put on a polite face, stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket and put it in his bosom, then said: "What I say you should think about when you go back. Moreover, I have formed an alliance with you, not entirely because of your daughter who is rumored to be the Phoenix Maiden. Feng Xiang is the current Left Chancellor, and in the future there will be many places where we will rely on adults like you."

  "Your Highness says where words, it is the duty of the minister to share worries for Your Highness."

  After returning from the Xiang Wang Fu, Feng Jin Yuan went straight to the Shu Ya Garden. He discussed today's matter with the old lady, and the old lady hastily ordered the servants: "Go and call the young master, miss, and aunts to come to the Shu Ya Garden, saying I have something important to say."

  When Xiaoren arrived at Tongsheng Xuan, Feng Yuexiang and Wangchuan had just returned. After receiving the news, they quickly changed their clothes and rushed to Shuyazhuang. She thought that since Old Lady called all the masters in the mansion, it was probably related to the children's rhymes on the street today, but she didn't know what the Feng family would do.

  In less than half a time, the Feng family gathered in Shuya Garden, but only the Han family was missing.

  The old lady asked hastily, still holding her arm, "Where is Madame Han?"

  "Korean mother-in-law has been feeling unwell for the past two days and didn't get out of bed this morning."

  "Huh?" Feng Jin was puzzled. "I went to see her last night and she seemed better, how could she be bedridden with illness? Has a doctor been called in?"

  "It was after Father left that Aunt got even sicker... there were no guest doctors at the manor..."

  "That's still not going to ask for help?" Feng Jin Yuan was somewhat angry, after all, she was his concubine, why did no one bother to call a doctor even though she had been ill for a whole night?

  Just as he was about to scold Fen Dai a few words, the old lady spoke up: "Since no doctor has been invited for the whole night, it's probably not a fatal illness. Let her wait and talk about the important matter first."

  The old lady said this, and Feng Jin Yuan didn't dare to say anything more, so he shut his mouth. Then he heard the old lady continue: "Today I called you all here, mainly because there are two things I want to talk about." The old lady looked around at everyone in the room, finally fixing her gaze on Feng Zi Hao, and slowly said: "Zi Hao's injury has almost healed, your father has arranged for you to go to the Ziyan Academy in Qizhou, five days later someone will be sent to take you there."

  Feng Zi Hao grunted and didn't say much more, though he wasn't feeling too great inside.

  The old lady saw that he was still quite obedient, and nodded silently, then said: "This second thing is to say that Shen Shi has been staying at Pudu Temple for some days to pray for the Feng family's good fortune. Recently, she is preparing to return home. After all, it is a big deal for the person who comes back to pray for the family's good fortune, bringing with her the temple's blessings, we must prepare well."

  Feng Yu Huan's heart rose with a cold smile, so in short, wasn't the Shen family coming back, and everyone was preparing to welcome them?

  Not only did she think so, but also the people present, except for Jin Zhen who had some numbers in her heart, everyone else felt unexpected. Especially Feng Pian Dai, Shen's revival of dead ashes made a raging fire of jealousy rise from the bottom of her heart. She seemed to have heard the sound of her dream of being the legitimate daughter shattered, and couldn't help but secretly blame Han Shi for not grasping the opportunity.

  Chen Yu didn't have any special reaction, he just said to Feng Zi Hao: "Brother, this time you must not disappoint Grandmother and Father's expectations again. Although Subi Academy can't compare with Yunlu Academy, it also has a small reputation."

  When she said that, Feng Jin Yuan couldn't help but glare at Yao Shi, blaming this woman for not speaking up for Zi Hao in front of the Crown Princess Wen Xuan, otherwise how could his son, a young master from a prestigious family like theirs, possibly be rejected by Yunlu Academy?

  This gaze was met by Feng Yu Heng, who didn't rush to retort. Instead, she opened her mouth and softly said: "Big brother should also take care of his body. Speaking of which, your illness has been worrying grandmother and father."

  Feng Zi Hao's illness has always been a knot in the hearts of the Feng family. Feng Jin Yuan didn't look for famous doctors, but whoever came to see him all shook their heads. Feng Zi Hao's child is difficult to produce, this is the unified diagnosis of all the doctors.

  The old lady's face also looked unpleasant, and she coughed lightly twice, unwilling to continue this topic. She changed the subject to Shen's return to the mansion: "Our family rarely gets together except for last year's festival, so let's take advantage of Shen's return to have a reunion dinner." As she spoke, she glanced at Fen Dai: "Let Han Shi take good care of herself and not be too weak to even come out for a meal."

  Fandainuo nodded, and the rest of the people were silent.

  At first, it was clearly said by Feng Jin Yuan that Shen Shi would not return to the mansion again. How could he change his words in just a few days?

  Feng Jin Yuan also felt a bit uneasy about it, but the pressure from Xiang Wang Fu was too great, and he had no choice but to do so.

  It was Chen Yu who broke the awkward silence, and all she said in a soft voice was: "Speaking of reunion dinner, I have an idea."

  "Oh?" The old lady was delighted that someone had come out to chat with her at this time, and she quickly asked her: "What's on your mind, Shen Yu?"

  Chen Yu said, "Second sister is the only child in the manor who has an arranged marriage. In the future, she will be marrying into the Royal Manor and will be in charge of managing the household. Why not let her try to take care of this family reunion dinner? We are all family members, so whether it's good or bad, we won't criticize. It'll also give second sister a chance to practice."

  Her words were reasonable and affectionate, the old lady smiled with satisfaction, nodding her head: "No wonder she's the eldest daughter of the mansion, Shen Yu's thoughts are indeed meticulous, able to consider her sister to this extent, it's really rare."

  Feng Jin Yuan also agreed with Chen Yu's words, and said to Feng Yu Huang: "Then Ah Huang, you just work hard a bit, prepare this small banquet. The day after tomorrow, I will send someone to pick up your mother, no need to invite outsiders, just our own family members, you just focus on cooking the meals, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Chen Yu said it right, we are all family members, whether good or bad, no one will pick on you."

  Feng Yu Huan could only smile and respond with a "Yes, daughter."

  On the way back to Shengxuan's house, Ms. Yao was a bit worried and said, "Letting you take charge of the reunion dinner, I always feel like something is going to go wrong."

  "Feng Yu smiled and said, 'It would be strange if nothing happens.' She pulled up Yao's arm: 'Ah Huang won't be calculated by them, mother just sit and watch the show.'"

  No matter how worried Mrs. Yao was, she couldn't do anything about it; her daughter was a stubborn child who had made up her mind to watch the play, so they went ahead and watched it.

  When he returned to his own courtyard, Ban Zou also came back. He told Feng Yu Heng: "It's said that the Shen family has gone to Pu Du An several times, all secretly meeting with Shen Shi. That Shen Shi is now on the surface much more gentle than before, and even during the day will follow the young ladies to fetch water and pick vegetables. But once night falls, the disguise immediately disappears, her temper still violent, often beating and scolding that servant girl called Man Xi."
