Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife ( Yang Shi Liu) 515

428

Demotion to Fifth Rank

When Feng Jin Yuan returned to the manor, he saw Jin Zhen from far away, standing at the entrance and repeatedly looking for him. For a while, he felt a little moved. He had taken in so many wives and concubines. Just counting the head wives of the Feng family, there had been four, and there was even a pair of even-ranking head wives now. But at this sort of time, the one to stand at the entrance to wait for him was Jin Zhen, who had been raised from a servant.

Feng Jin Yuan got out of his carriage, and Jin Zhen immediately went up to receive him. He reached for Jin Zhen’s shoulder and gently patted it twice, saying in a heavy voice: “Let’s go in to speak.” Letting go, he grabbed Jin Zhen’s small hand and pulled her into the manor.

Jin Zhen was a little worried and wanted to ask a few things; however, she felt that Feng Jin Yuan’s expression was very bad. This made her too scared to dare ask, but she still had to remind him: “Elder madam became infuriated because of eldest young miss’ matter. When this concubine came out, she was still crying and screaming. I don’t know how she is now.”

Feng Jin Yuan held her hand even tighter, his brow becoming covered in sweat.

Before the two reached the entrance, they heard the matriarch loudly scream: “Burn all of her things! Don’t leave a single thing behind. It’s disgusting to look at!”

Feng Jin Yuan paused for a moment then quickly entered. Just as he stepped past the sill, a cane went flying straight at him. Immediately following this, the matriarch angrily cursed: “You still have the face to come back! If it was not for you indulging that girl time and time again, could she possibly have caused this disaster for the Feng family? Would she have been able to harm her younger sister time and time again? The one the Feng family must rely on is A-Heng. It’s absolutely not Feng Chen Yu. Do you understand this or not?”

Once this was said, nobody expected that Xiang Rong, who never liked speaking, would suddenly sneer then say: “Grandmother’s thoughts sure have changed quickly. If it was like this from the beginning, how great would that have been. Second sister would not have suffered so many hardships.”

The always cautious An shi did not stop her, using her silence to agree with her daughter’s opinion.

Feng Jin Yuan, however, became unhappy. “What hardships did she suffer?” When these words were spoken, his jaws were firmly clenched. Everyone could clearly see that this father hated his second daughter to the extreme limit.

If this was said earlier, Feng Jin Yuan’s attitude would have received praise. At least Fen Dai and Han shi would definitely be on the same side as him; however, this time was different. Not only did Fen Dai not agree with him, she even quietly said: “Third sister is right.”

“What did you say?” Feng Jin Yuan practically thought that he had misheard.

But, very quickly, Han shi, An shi and the Cheng shi sisters, and even Jin Zhen, began to launch an offensive. Especially Han shi, who held her own belly and said: “Eldest young miss not examining herself is whatever, yet she was sent to the Xiang Palace to lose face. If she alone dies, that’s not a problem; however, it absolutely must not implicate others!”

Feng Jin Yuan’s face turned green with anger. He pointed at the people in the room and asked: “Indeed, something has happened, but Chen Yu has been sentenced to be executed by being cut at the waist. Why do none of you feel a trace of grief? She is your family!”

His words did not receive any response. Although the matriarch no longer cried, her expression did not improve. Feng Yu Heng had frightened her, and she had no place to vent. She could only vent it all on Chen Yu.
