Chapter 114: The Shen and Feng Families, Severed with One Cut

  Feng Jin Yuan felt that having such a daughter was really shameful, and in his rage, he flung his sleeve and said: "Send the fourth miss back to her room, have someone keep a strict watch on her, absolutely do not allow her to take half a step out of the door!"

  "Master!" she exclaimed, clutching Feng Jiyuan's leg. "You can't treat Fang Dai like this! She's still just a child and doesn't understand anything. Master, you can't kill Fang Dai like you did to Madame Shen!"

  "Killed?" Feng Yu Huang was shocked, "Mother was killed?"

  "Get out!" Feng Jin Yuan kicked Han Shi far away, no longer having any affection for his beloved concubine. "How could the Feng family have a mother and daughter like you two? Guards! Lock them both up for me!"

  Immediately, someone came forward and dragged Han Shi and Fen Dai away. The noise gradually faded into the distance. Feng Jin Yuan turned around and said to Feng Yu Heng: "Ah Heng, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for today's events."

  He was naturally referring to the commotion caused by Fen Dai, and Feng Yu Heng smiled slightly before bowing to him, saying: "Then I must thank Father. For Father to be able to bring justice for me and deal with eldest brother, I truly feel honored." Just then, Feng Jin Yuan's face turned even paler, and she continued: "Father should hurry to the front courtyard. Don't keep the two princes waiting."

  Feng Jin Yuan reluctantly nodded and hastily left.

  Feng Yuanyuan took someone away, and Yao Shi, An Shi, Xiang Rong, and Zi Rui all gathered around. Zi Rui didn't understand what had happened, so he asked Feng Yuhuang: "Fourth sister, why did you speak to the prince like that?"

  Feng Yu rubbed his head and told him: "Because your fourth sister has lived enough."

  "Yao told her: 'Don't scare the little kid.'"

  She slowed down her voice and said: "Zi Rui will grow up one day, the dirty things in this Feng Fu will be known to him sooner or later."

  An also had a belly full of fire, "That powder's temperament is exactly like Shen's, the mansion has made such a fuss, really don't know what kind of situation it will be in the future."

  Feng Yu sneered, "What's it to us whether he's prosperous or not? Let's just live our own lives." With that, she pulled Xiang Rong and Zi Rui towards the front courtyard, while Yao Shi and An Shi hurriedly followed.

  The memorial hall was rebuilt in the Peony Courtyard, and Xuan Tianhua lit three sticks of incense as a tribute. Xuan Tianming, on the other hand, claimed that his legs were not convenient and only watched from the side.

  Feng Jin Yuan didn't dare to be presumptuous, and having two princes come to offer condolences was already a great honor. If it weren't for today's trouble, the Feng family's reputation would have actually been enhanced. Thinking this way, he couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed in that pair of children again.

  Xuantian Hua inserted the incense into the incense burner, then said to the old lady and Feng Jin-yuan: "Condolences." The two of them quickly thanked Xuantian Hua.

  As the mourning ritual came to an end and they were about to leave, Xuan Tian Hua turned around, only to see a famous woman in white clothes walking towards them from outside.

  He was stunned for a moment, and when the woman approached, he found that it was actually Feng Chenyu who had changed her clothes and painted her eyebrows.

  Chen Yu came to the mourning hall, didn't even bother to greet Feng Jin Yuan and the old lady, directly rushed towards Xuan Tian Hua, bowed slightly in front of him, and said in a soft and pleasant voice: "Chen Yu thanks Seventh Master for coming to mourn his mother, Master's kindness, Chen Yu will remember."

  Xuantian Hua shook his head, not giving him any face at all, and said directly: "Miss Feng is being polite, my younger sister's family has something going on, I should accompany Ming'er to take a trip." I came for Feng Yuexue, and have nothing to do with you.

  The fish was extremely embarrassed, but it wasn't good to make a scene, so he could only smile and not say anything else. However, his eyes lifted up and stared straight at Xuan Tian Hua, with overflowing love in his eyes that couldn't be suppressed.

  "Fallen fish." Feng Jin Yuan really couldn't bear it anymore. "The two princes are about to return to the mansion, you'd best get out of the way."

  Lost in thought for a moment, she subconsciously opened her mouth: "Your Highness is leaving so soon? Why not stay in the mansion and have dinner?"

  Xuan Tian Hua asked her in confusion, "Is your Feng family holding a wedding or a funeral?" Afterwards, he didn't say another word to anyone and turned around to push Xuan Tian Ming forward.

  The woman was stunned on the spot, and then she heard the person sitting in the wheelchair in front of her burst out laughing and say loudly: "Miss Feng, your eyebrows are painted with one side high and the other side low!"

  The phoenix sank and hurriedly covered her face with her hand, but then discovered that the Seventh Prince hadn't even turned his head to look at her, and couldn't help but feel a slight heartache.

  Feng Jin Yuan looked at Chen Yu's appearance, and the feeling of frustration and disappointment rose up again in his heart. He sometimes really wondered if he had done something wrong, why these children were all so troublesome? Fortunately, there were also some who gave him less trouble, such as Xiang Rong and An Shi, that mother-daughter pair never caused him any problems.

  "Feng Jin Yuan walked two steps closer, standing beside Chen Yu, looking ahead but lowering his voice to speak. "You need to understand what you should and shouldn't do, things like this, your father doesn't want to see again."

  The fish sank suddenly and asked reluctantly: "Does Father's choice have to be the Third Prince?"

  "Yes."

  "The third prince has a legitimate wife!"

  "The Empress is the Empress, as long as you listen to her, you will inevitably become the future Empress."

  "Why can't it be Your Highness Seven?"

  Feng Jin Yuan furrowed his brow again, and said helplessly: "You don't understand the things in the imperial court, but your father won't harm you. The path I've chosen for you is definitely the broadest and most spacious one under heaven. Chen Yu, remember that you are a phoenix destiny, and in the future, you will be the motherly model of the world."

  Motherly love for the world, these four words were like a curse that left an indelible mark on Chen Yu's heart. Her restless heart finally calmed down a bit, her face gradually returned to normal, and she was able to speak in a calm voice to Feng Jin Yuan: "I remember."

  At last, the Feng family's funeral was back to normal, and the women of the household returned to the mourning hall to pay their respects. Feng Jin Yuan and Old Madame received guests together.

  It was almost time for dinner when the Shen family arrived. At the front was Shen Wanliang, followed by the eldest master of the Shen family, Shen Wangjin, and the second master, Shen Wanshun.

  The old lady saw the three people walking towards her with a fierce momentum, and she knew that the visitor was not good. Her heart also rose with it. Shen's funeral had already been handled in a chaotic manner, and the Feng family had become a laughing stock in the capital. If the maternal relatives came to make another scene at this time, how could Feng Yuanyuan still have the face to go out and see people?

  The old lady whispered to Feng Jin Yuan, "Try not to argue with them, lock the door and quarrel as you like later, but don't lose face at this time."

  Feng Jin Yuan nodded, he understood this principle, but could the Shen family afford to miss such a good opportunity?

  Obviously can't.

  Then, Shen Wanliang, who had always been the most authoritative in the Shen family, stepped forward quickly and knelt down in front of Shen's spirit tablet. He faced the newly changed coffin and burst into tears: "Sister! You died so miserably!" After crying out loud, he lit three incense sticks, then stood up and turned to Feng Yuantai, his eyes full of anger: "Can you explain the cause of my sister's death, Lord Feng?"

  He doesn't even call his sister's husband anymore, as soon as he opens his mouth it's "Lord Feng", clearly having already drawn a line between himself and the Feng family.

  Feng Jin Yuan was also furious, but the prince couldn't calm him down. However, he still didn't take the Shen family seriously and immediately replied: "Everyone knows that Lady Shen died of a serious illness, what do you want to explain?"

  "Seriously ill?" Shen Wanliang gritted his teeth in anger, "If she's seriously ill, why didn't you go get a doctor to examine her?"

  Feng Jin Yuan retorted, "How do you know I didn't invite him? My Feng family may not be as wealthy as your Shen family, but we're not so poor that we can't even afford a doctor's consultation fee."

  Shen Wanjin, the old master of the Shen family, finally couldn't help but speak up: "My sister has always been in good health, how could she suddenly contract a deadly illness? Feng Jin Yuan, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

  "How dare you!" The old lady was also furious, directly asking Shen Wanjin: "Are you not being polite? Who are you talking to? This is a threat to the current first-class official! I'm telling you, just because of this sentence, if something goes wrong with Rongyuan in the future, all of your Shen family will be sent to prison!"

  Shen Wanliang glared at his brother, then turned to the old lady and said: "My elder brother is too grief-stricken and has misspoken in some places. Please forgive him, old lady. It's just that we really can't accept the cause of our sister's death. Could the Feng family please give us an explanation?"

  At this time, Chen Yu, who had been standing on the side without speaking, opened his mouth and looked at her three uncles with tears in his eyes. He said sadly: "Uncles, Father didn't deceive you, Mother really fell seriously ill, our family invited many doctors to come, even two imperial physicians from the palace were invited, but... none of them could cure her!"

  Shen Wanliang looked at Shen Yu, speechless for a long time. He could hardly believe that the one who said such words was his beloved niece since childhood, Shen Yu, who had always been extremely filial to her mother, how could she utter such nonsense at this moment?

  Shen's affairs, others don't know, but Shen Wanliang is well aware. As for what the Feng family did, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could guess seven or eight out of ten. Moreover, he had personally gone to find medicine for Shen and sent people to deliver it, only those who delivered the medicine all died in the Feng mansion.

  He couldn't help but ask Xian Yu: "Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know who the person lying in that coffin is?"

  The fisherman's face turned even more sorrowful, "Of course I knew, that was my mother, the one who carried me in her womb for ten months and gave birth to me."

  "Why do you still want to talk like this?"

  "But Father is here too!" The words were out of Chen Yu's mouth, and tears fell down, "Uncle, Mother died of illness, Chen Yu bears witness."

  Shen Wanliang closed his eyes, and two lines of tears also flowed out.

  He knew that Sunfish was trying to protect himself.

  Yes! This niece has always been clever, and the Feng family promised her such a brilliant future. The temptation of that future is great enough to make her give up everything. If sacrificing a mother can secure her future, why not do it?

  "Whatever." Shen Wanliang suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, and the blood that had been boiling with a desire for revenge for his sister's sake also returned to its original state. He turned around and said to his two brothers: "Let's offer incense to our sister together, from now on, the Shen family and the Feng family... will be severed forever."
