The Feng Family Expresses its Stance Once More

Feng Chen Yu’s words caused Xu Jing Yuan’s eyebrows to pull together tightly. Puzzled, he asked: “Eldest young miss Feng, what do you mean?”

Chen Yu was nearly shouting: “When the people of Qian Zhou came to the capital, they brought in ten million taels of gold. The line of boxes extended from the county princess’ manor’s and filled the entire street. Since our Feng family brought out the dowry presented by that guilty woman from Qian Zhou for my lord to inspect, shouldn’t my lord also be a little fairer? The gold in her county princess’ manor should not remain.”

Xu Jing Yuan stared at Feng Chen Yu and just did not understand. Why was it that the more beautiful a person became, the more treacherous they were? No wonder county princess Ji An viewed this family as being filled with criminals. The people of this Feng family really were shameless!

He turned to the matriarch and asked: “There are two things that this official must ask elder madam.” Before waiting for the matriarch to reply, he directly said: “First, what is meant by our Feng family? What does she mean by her county princess’ manor? Could it be that the Feng family does not recognize county princess Ji An as its daughter? It’s a pity that his Highness the ninth prince gave county princess some face and pardoned you. If your family has this sort of attitude, this official will immediately report to his Highness and have this matter taken care of. Either way, you don’t recognize county princess as your family. Even if everyone within nine relations is exterminated, it would not affect her. Elder madam, what do you think?”

What did she think?

The matriarch’s lips had turned green with anger. If it was not for so many people being present, she really wanted to strangle Feng Chen Yu to death.

The matriarch had truly become angry. What sort of situation was this? The sword was already on their necks, yet she still had the mind to worry about the struggles of the inner courtyard. She truly was lacking in knowledge and experience. She had grown this beautiful face for nothing.

The Cheng shi sisters had a very special standing in the manor. Although Kang Yi was the head wife holding them down, they were still the Empress’ own nieces. Based on this point alone, who dared to treat them poorly? This imperial family had always had a problem with short tempers. Also, from top to bottom, they were all unreasonable. The Cheng shi sisters, as secondary wives in the Feng manor, actually lived even more glamorous lives than the head wife.

Especially right before Feng Yu Heng left, they had been entrusted with something. In addition to this, they had arrived at the Feng manor because Kang Yi had been labeled as not knowing how to raise a child. The Empress feared that the inner courtyard of the Feng manor would become chaotic, thus, in the short period of time since Feng Yu Heng left the capital, the education of the Feng family’s children was left to the Cheng shi sisters.

The two sisters looked kind and easy to talk to, but, as people that had grown up in the palace, could they possibly be easy to deal with? There was no need for them to torture anyone. They simply needed to mention the words “aunt Empress,” and Feng Chen Yu and her sisters would no longer dare to even breathe too loud.

Over the past few months, the Cheng shi sisters had provided them with no shortage of “discipline.” When Cheng Jun Man now went out and said to Chen Yu: “Eldest young miss, what you just said was inappropriate, and what you did was even more incorrect.” Feng Chen Yu immediately woke up and reflexively became obedient, following her back.

The matriarch asked Xu Jing Yuan with a smile: “My lord, the second matter was…”

Xu Jing Yuan snorted, “Secondly, it was you that took the initiative to bring out Qian Zhou’s dowry for us to confiscate. It was not this official that asked for it from you! Why should this official go to the county princess’ manor for her gold? That gold was brought to the county princess’ manor. It naturally belongs to county princess alone. Unless she herself desires it, nobody has any right to touch it!”
