Due to Feng Zi Hao's careless actions, the big fire spread through the coffin and burned inside. Although the outside flames were extinguished, no one expected that the fire was still burning inside the coffin. When everyone rushed in to open the coffin, they found that Shen Shi had been burned to only half of her body.
The old lady was so frightened that she sat down on the ground with a thud, dropping her cane and staring straight ahead as if she had been petrified.
"Second Miss, come quickly and take a look at Old Lady!" Zhao's wife exclaimed urgently, rushing towards Feng Yu Heng.
Feng Yu Huan walked over, pulled out a silver needle from her sleeve and patted the old lady's neck with it. The old lady finally came to, and immediately burst into tears: "What has the Feng family done to deserve such retribution? Why must they suffer such heavenly punishment?"
Xuantian Ming said seriously to her, "Don't worry, old lady. Tomorrow the king will invite a master to come and perform a ritual at the Feng family's altar. He will definitely help you find out what kind of evil deed was done."
Feng Jin Yuan wanted to scold someone but didn't dare, so he could only order He Zhong to hurry up and buy a new coffin again. As for the person, anyway, as long as they were placed in the coffin and outsiders couldn't see them, it was fine.
Feng Yu Huan helped the old lady up and comforted her, saying: "Things have come to this, grandmother shouldn't be too sad. Although Ah Huan also doesn't understand what kind of grudge big brother has against mother, he actually wants to do such a vicious thing. Mother is gone, big brother is burning the body."
The old lady heard about this on her way here and couldn't help but glare at Feng Jin Yuan, speaking up for Feng Yu Heng: "Can you blame Ah Heng for this? They're both your flesh and blood, they're both my grandchildren. If you don't care about her, I do! During the funeral, I won't argue with you, but once things settle down, you'll have to give me an explanation. I want to ask, who told Zi Xiao what?"
The old lady shouted, and Feng Jin Yuan also realized that someone must have instilled some right and wrong into Zi Hao along the way, so Zi Hao was determined that his mother was killed by Feng Yu Huang.
It's a fact that Feng Yu Heng was wronged. Now that the Emperor and Crown Prince are here, he'll have to swallow his pride and apologize to her, his second daughter!
As he thought of this, Feng Jin Yuan looked towards Feng Yu Heng and his emotions slightly calmed down. He spoke kindly to her: "Your father was also confused earlier and didn't have time to consider your grievances. Ah Heng, considering such a big thing happened in the manor, please forgive your father. Today's matter is all your elder brother's fault. After the funeral, I will personally bring him to apologize to you."
Feng Yu nodded: "Okay! At that time, I'll also ask Father and Ah Huang to tell the truth. Who exactly instigated Big Brother to do this? If Father can't find out, then Ah Huang can go investigate herself."
"Feng Jin-yuan hastily said: 'I will definitely investigate the result.' While speaking, he looked at the two princes again: 'Let the two princes see the joke, now that the mourning hall has been destroyed, it's probably impossible to mourn, why don't the princes go to the living room to rest first, and I'll arrange for someone to re-arrange the mourning hall.'"
Xuān Tiān Huá nodded, "Then let Master Feng quickly settle the family matters, I'll go to the living room with the Emperor's brother."
Feng Jin Yuan bowed and escorted her out, then gave Feng Yu Huan a look, meaning to let her go and entertain the guests.
Who knew that Feng Yu Heng never intended to go, and just said to the two of them: "I'll stay here to take care of my grandmother, Xuan Tian Mo you can bring Seventh Brother to Tong Sheng Pavilion to sit for a while, Zi Rui is still there, help me take care of him."
Feng Jin Yuan's nose almost didn't breathe, I asked you to entertain the guests, but instead you let the guests take care of themselves and also asked them to help you take care of the children.
Before he could even retort, Xuan Tian Ming nodded with great relish: "I brought the snacks that little brat loves to eat when I came. Seventh Brother also prepared a set of Western-style tribute pen and ink for him, so it's just right to send them together."
"Then go quickly!" She waved her hand at the two of them, "Seventh Brother, take care."
Xuantian Hua smiled and pushed Xuantian Ming's wheelchair, taking the accompanying guards away from the Golden Jade Courtyard.
Seeing the two of them leave, the Feng family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Jin Yuan hastily ordered his servants to carry Feng Zi Hao back to Jian Ling Xuan's place and quickly invite a doctor to treat his injuries. He then glanced at Han Shi, who was paralyzed with fear on the ground, and furrowed his brow: "I've never seen you so cowardly before, what's wrong? Get up quickly."
An held Han's hand on the edge and felt that her whole body was trembling, so she opened her mouth and said: "I'm afraid sister's body hasn't recovered yet, this toss and fright again, it's gotten worse."
The old lady waved her hand impatiently at Mrs. Han: "Hurry back to your courtyard and lie down, don't make trouble here."
Han's family didn't even have time to thank them, and were escorted away from the mourning hall by their servants.
She was indeed frightened, and as soon as she saw Xuan Tian Ming, she was scared silly. Fen Dai had been scolded and beaten by this person, and when she saw Xuan Tian Ming, she almost reflexively wanted to vomit blood.
After leaving the Golden Jade Courtyard, Han Shi relied entirely on her personal maid and subconsciously muttered: "Fortunately, Fen Dai is not here, otherwise if she saw that the Ninth Prince had come, who knows what kind of trouble would arise again."
That girl suddenly paused, then opened her mouth and said urgently: "Auntie, hold on a bit, we have to hurry back."
"What's wrong?" Mr. Han was puzzled, why did the usually calm and composed maid suddenly become so flustered?
That girl stamped her foot: "Fourth Miss is not here at the moment, but it's hard to guarantee that the news of Ninth Prince's arrival at the mansion hasn't reached our courtyard yet? I'm afraid this has already reached Fourth Miss's ears!"
Han's eyes widened suddenly, "It's over!"
She rushed to her own courtyard, while Feng Jin ordered He Zhong to rebuild a mourning hall in Peony Courtyard. This place has been ruined, it's impossible to use it again.
The old lady hummed in a low voice, unwilling to say: "A good peony courtyard, unexpectedly got stained with bad luck." As she spoke, she looked at Feng Jin again and suddenly asked: "When the Ninth Prince whipped you, didn't you get scared silly? And you still want to push me out, why don't you just let them beat your mother to death?"
Feng Jin Yuan was so frightened that he hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt down, "Mother, you absolutely cannot say such things! As a son, even if I have to block the whip myself, I will not let my mother suffer even half a bit of harm!" While speaking, he looked at Feng Yu Huang, his tone filled with helplessness: "Ah Huang, Father knows that today's events have chilled your heart, but can you please consider our familial bond and not continue to persuade the Emperor to whip our own people?"
Feng Yu Huan was taken aback again: "When did I egg him on? It was Big Brother himself who ran over, shouting something about wanting to let Xuan Tian Hua avenge his mother for him. Didn't Father hear that?"
Feng Jin Yuan naturally heard it, and helplessly clenched his fist to heavily pound the bluestone floor. "Zi Hao is indeed spoiled by his mother." As he spoke, he also remembered something he originally wanted to tell Feng Yu Han: "Ah Han, as your father, I must remind you that those two are after all imperial princes, and royal highnesses. How can you address them directly by name?"
Before Feng Yu could respond, the old lady had already lost her temper: "Can't you mind your own business for once? Ah Huang and the Ninth Prince have a good relationship, didn't you see how pleased he looked when she called him by his name? Didn't you hear Ah Huang calling the Seventh Prince 'Seventh Brother'? Ah Huang is a sensible child, don't try to control her like you did with Zi Hao!"
Feng Jin Yuan was scolded until he lost his temper, and could only nod his head, saying nothing more.
Feng Yu Huan picked up the old lady's cane and handed it back to her. She was very satisfied with the old lady's performance today, she could see that the old lady's words were not meant to flatter her in order to gain something, but rather they were truly what the old lady thought.
With the cane back in her hand, the old lady's emotions also calmed down a lot. She couldn't help but hold onto Feng Yuexiang's hand and gently patted it on the back. "Ah Xiang, Grandma is getting older, and this family can't be managed anymore. In the future, you'd better stay away from that big brother of yours, don't let him go crazy again and hurt you."
Feng Yu nodded, "Don't worry, Grandma, I'll be careful."
The old lady looked at Feng Jin Yuan again, shook her head helplessly, and gazed out the door with a distant look in her eyes, as if thinking about something.
At this time, Xuan Tian Hua was pushing Xuan Tian Ming towards Tong Sheng Xuan. The maid who led the way sent them all the way to the Moon Gate of Liu Yuan and then stood up: "Your Highness, it's Tong Sheng Xuan ahead."
Xuántiān Huá nodded and said gently to the young girl, "We'll go in ourselves, you can go back."
Her face suddenly turned red, and she rushed towards the two of them, bowed her head, covered her face, and ran away quickly.
The girl guarding the gate of Tongsheng Xuan naturally knew who had come, and someone had already reported in advance when the two gods walked this way. Now that she saw people arriving nearby, she hurried forward to pay her respects, then led them to the backyard where the masters lived.
Madam Yao got up early today and went to the Feng Mansion. At noon, she returned to Tongsheng Pavilion to take care of Zi Rui. Just before Xuan Tian Ming and others arrived, she was about to go over again when Huang Quan rushed over and briefly told her what had happened at the mourning hall.
"Yao was shocked and asked urgently: 'Is Ahuang injured? Did Zihao draw his sword? Is Ahuang hurt? How severe is the fire? Will Wangchuan protect Ahuang and ensure she's alright?'"
These words happened to be heard by Xuántiān Míng and the two of them couldn't help but say: "Did you hear that, this is what a real mother sounds like."
Xuan Tianhua nodded, but also refuted him: "Not all foster mothers are bad, our Empress Dowager is the same as my biological mother to me."
"That's right! Can my mother be compared with other people's mothers?"
The two of them spoke without avoiding the people around them, and Yao Shi and Huang Quan had already heard them. Yao Shi pulled Zi Rui, who had just rushed over, to hurry up and pay their respects, but was stopped by Xuan Tian Hua, who quickly walked a few steps ahead.
"Madam, there's no need for this."
Xuān Tiān Míng also followed with: "You are ā Huò's mother, if I accept your courtesy, ā Huò will bite me."
Yao felt embarrassed for a moment, what did he mean by biting him?
Feng Zirui was delighted to see Xuan Tianming, and the little kid didn't know to be afraid, so he ran up to Xuan Tianming's face and said in a crisp tone: "Very impressive Your Highness, are you here to see my sister?"
He is now chubby, with a round face, very cute.
Xuántiān Míng picked up the child and put him on the handle of the wheelchair, telling him: "I've already seen your sister, now it's time to see you."
As he spoke, a servant behind him handed a bag of pastries into Zirui's hands.
At this time, a little girl ran quickly to Huang Quan's side and whispered to her: "Fourth Miss is coming over here."
