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

351-375

Will She Massacre the Entire Feng Family?

Just after Feng Jin Yuan returned to the manor from court, he was brought to Shu Ya courtyard by granny Zhao. Along the way, she listened to granny Zhao explain the situation. After hearing this, his forehead became soaked in a cold sweat.

Someone tried to harm Yao shi. Was this not just adding oil to the fire! What sort of personality did Feng Yu Heng have? Ru Jia insulted the ninth prince and was nearly whipped to death. That was a princess, yet she did not even care about it. Now that someone dared to take action against her birth mother, once this person was uncovered, would they not be skinned alive?

He quickly entered the matriarch's bedroom and saw the matriarch sitting on a soft chair in the inner room. Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly together, as a gloominess covered her face.

He quickly went forward to pay his respects, but the matriarch said: "Enough, what is the point of paying respects right now. Are a few words enough to calm me down?"

Feng Jin Yuan sat down at her side and anxiously asked: "I heard granny Zhao tell me along the way. Is this matter the truth?"

The matriarch nodded, "I personally saw it. Of course, it's true. Jin Yuan, I have something I must ask you, and you absolutely must tell me the truth."

Feng Jin Yuan did not wait for her to ask and took the initiative to say: "I did not do it."

The matriarch was startled, "It wasn't?"

He nodded, "It wasn't. Although I did hate Yao shi after the matter of the divorce, in fact, I did want to have her die, as only with her dying could my humiliation be eliminated. But son is not someone that is unable to think things through clearly. Just Yao shi alone is not someone worthy of being feared, but that girl A-Heng is truly not an easy-going girl. Moreover, she even has the ninth prince's support."

The matriarch let out a sigh of relief, "It's good that you can understand this reasoning. I really feared that you were muddled and decided to act against Yao shi. You don't know this, but when something happened to Yao shi today, A-Heng's eyes were extremely scary. Just a single glance caused me to become soaked in sweat. If Yao shi becoming addicted to spirit-altering drug was really something that you did, I fear that girl would massacre our entire Feng manor!"

Feng Jin Yuan saw that the matriarch was truly afraid and quickly comforted her, saying: "Mother is overthinking it. No matter how bold she is, she could not massacre the entire family. Son is a government official, and even when the Emperor hands out awards or punishment, it's impossible that he would take son's life. Although Feng Yu Heng calls his Majesty father Emperor, that does not mean that she can do anything that she wants. If something happens to the prime minister, the court would become a mess. This is a crime that she cannot bear the burden of."

The matriarch calmed down upon hearing him say this, but she still asked: "Since it was not you, who could it be? Jin Yuan, could it be Chen Yu?"

In truth, Feng Jin Yuan suspected that it was Chen Yu, but after a great deal of thought, he felt that it was not too likely, "Chen Yu is still locked up in the temple. Not to mention her coming out, even if she could come out, her only pillar of support was the Chen family. The Chen family has already fallen, so how could she still have the ability to do this sort of thing."

The matriarch reminded him: "Yao shi was targetted with spirit-altering drug. I heard that An shi has sent her pastries for many months. That was naturally well before the Chen family's collapse."

Feng Jin Yuan shook his head once more, "The Chen family has fallen for so long. Normally, it should have stopped a long time ago, and it would not have waited until today to take effect."
