Shen Yi Di Nu Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

251-275

The Means of Earning Money Must not be Lost

Ever since Fen Dai became engaged to the fifth prince, she would occasionally receive gifts sent by the fifth prince's palace, and Han shi would remind her to absolutely not forget to curry favor with the matriarch. In this manor, one always needed an elder to stand on their side. Only like this could they prosper.

A few days prior, Fen Dai had received a glass-type jade bracelet from the fifth prince. Thinking of how Chen shi had previously gifted prayer beads of a similar material to the matriarch, it should be very well received by the matriarch, thus she treated it like a treasure and gave it to her. The matriarch truly liked it and immediately wore it on her wrist. Ever since then, she never removed it once, and she was even wearing it now.

But...

But Feng Yu Heng said that the amazonyte on Chen Yu's head was more valuable than glass-type jade, so the matriarch's expression became a little uglier, and her hand subconsciously moved to her wrist. The sleeves that had clearly been rolled up the past few days to flaunt the bracelet, but now she pulled her arms in for fear that others would see it.

As for Feng Chen Yu, she had much more experience in currying favor with the matriarch than Fen Dai. Hearing the matriarch's question, she immediately understood that the amazonyte ornaments were the target of interest. Although she was a little unwilling, for the sake of her slowly recovering position within the Feng family, she still felt it was worth it.

Thus she removed the ornament without saying another word then carried it over to the matriarch "Granddaughter truly did not know that this was so valuable. I only wore it because I felt it was beautiful. If I knew earlier that it was more valuable that glass-type jade, granddaughter would have been reluctant to wear it and would have offered it to grandmother sooner. But now is not too late. It is thanks to second sister for the information, so grandmother, please keep it."

Her words were reasonable and courteous, causing the matriarch's heart to feel warm. Grabbing Chen Yu's hand, she said: "It really is eldest granddaughter who is most understanding. It has always only been you who has been reasonable." As she said this, she received the ornament. Feeling that it was mild, she knew it was a good item.

"His Highness the eldest prince is often out traveling around and often runs into nice things. Granddaughter is indebted to his Highness for his concern in often sending thing to enjoy. Granddaughter always thinks about what grandmother would like upon receiving gifts. Granddaughter only keeps what remains." Chen Yu said this and took back the ornament, placing it directly on the matriarch's head, "Wearing it, grandmother is very beautiful."

Feng Yu Heng nearly vomited.

She truly admired Feng Chen Yu's ability to curry favor with others. The ornament was clearly only suited to young women. With its blue color, it looked very out of place on the matriarch. It was truly too ugly, but she still said these lies with a straight face. The praise caused the matriarch to smile from ear to ear.

Huang Quan also trembled, as she heard the matriarch ask: "Is it a little too gaudy?"

She originally did not intend to say gaudy and wanted to say that it made her look young, but she was too embarrassed to say it. The matriarch was too embarrassed to say it, so Chen Yu simply continued to talk along those lines: "How could it be gaudy? Lake blue is the most tranquil. It's better that grandmother wears it than Chen Yu."

The matriarch repeatedly nodded. Rubbing her hands together, she pushed the bracelet further up her arm.

Feng Yu Heng had taken notice of that bracelet much earlier. The matriarch did not have such a thing before, and the only glass-type jade that she had was the prayer beads from Chen shi. After Chen shi died, she felt it best to separate herself from it and threw it into the warehouse. She thought that the bracelet should have been gifted from Han shi's side and not from Chen Yu, thus she mentioned the bit about amazonyte.
