Feng Chen Yu's words caused the matriarch's mood to go from panic caused by this sudden event to extreme anger, as she let out a loud shout, "Shut your mouth!"
Who knew just how loud this shout was, but it caused everyone to tremble. Even more coincidentally, after this shout happened, a sudden streak of lightning flashed across the sky. Immediately following this, the sound of thunder shook the air, causing the people to shake a little more.
But there was no rain, and the air pressure made it hard to breathe, but the rain refused to fall.
The matriarch struggled to stand up from the ground. Glaring at Chen Yu, she shrieked: "Put aside those words that you just said! No matter how unhappy you are with your second sister, you must swallow those words down!" While saying this, she looked at everyone in the Feng manor then coldly said: "If you want to live, you must listen up! This time, we must understand that Qian Zhou has attempted to assassinate the Emperor, which means that they have completely turned on Da Shun. It won't be long until Da Shun sends out soldiers to suppress them. Qian Zhou has gone from being a vassal country to an enemy country. If anyone says anything in Kang Yi's favor, that would mean the extermination of the entire family!"
Everyone nodded slowly. Even Chen Yu, who absolutely hated Feng Yu Heng was scared.
That's right, how could she not have thought of this. Qian Zhou attempting an assassination was already a reality. Kang Yi had been personally taken away by the second prince and a group of imperial guards. There was no chance of the situation turning around. This was no longer the battle within a small courtyard. It was a proper confrontation between two countries. She could no longer speak up for Kang Yi, even if Kang Yi had treated her well over the past few months. Now, she had to draw a clear line unless she no longer wished to live.
The matriarch saw that there were no objections and nodded. She then said to housekeeper He Zhong: "Immediately go to the government office and invite the governor over. Tell him that the guilty Kang Yi of Qian Zhou has already been caught. Would Lord Xu personally come to confiscate the things in the courtyard that she lived in with the Feng family."
Once this was said, Feng Chen Yu became unhappy. It was not just her, as Fen Dai also shouted: "No!"
The matriarch glared: "Was everything I said for nothing?"
Chen Yu, in the end, was still a little smart. Seeing Fen Dai speak up, she did not say anything. After all, the two were definitely going to be talking about the same thing. At this sort of time, offending the matriarch was best left to Fen Dai.
Sure enough, she heard Fen Dai go against what the matriarch had said: "Her courtyard has been getting fixed up for half a year. Inside, there are all kinds of nice things that father has gathered for her. At the very least, we must get those things out before calling people to confiscate things."
The matriarch angrily swung her cane to try and hit her, but Han shi quickly placed Fen Dai behind her, and the cane came to a stop in front of Han shi's belly.
The matriarch pointed at Han shi and urgently said: "If the next child is born with her personality, it may as well just be drowned!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was terrible, the Cheng shi sisters looked at each other then quickly went forward to stop the matriarch from both sides. At the same time, Cheng Jun Man said: "Elder madam, your body was already not well these past few days. Do not get angry. As for ma... as for that guilty woman's things, when the governor arrives later, this concubine will naturally talk to him. The things that came from Qian Zhou will be taken away. The things that already belonged to the Feng family, I trust, he will leave those behind."
