Chapter 13 (2/2)

“Take responsibility?” The old woman glared at Chen shi. She had never liked this daughter-in-law. If the Yao family weren’t implicated in a crime forcing the Feng family to respond, she would never have allowed Chen shi to become the first wife. “Tell me, how do you want me to help you take responsibility?”

Chen shi’s eyes spun and looked towards Feng Yu Heng, “That year, a person came forward and said this girl is an evil spirit. After we sent her away, the manor was peaceful for these few years. But the moment she returned, look at the disturbance she has caused. How can we allow such an evil spirit to remain in the manor!”

“Madam!” Yao shi became furious. “How can A-Heng be an evil spirit. Those were the mad words of a mad man!”

“Then how do you explain the events of today?” Chen shi presented her arm for all to see. “This girl harbors an evil will. This is something known by all. As I see it, she should be sent to a temple outside town.”

Having heard of the evil spirits mentioned three years ago, the old woman pondered deeply for a while. Those present in the hall became silent.

During the silence, a servant came running in. Huddled close to Feng Jin Yuan, the servant whispered something in to his ears. Within a short span of time, Feng Jin Yuan’s expressionless face displayed a multitude of expressions.

Without delay, the servant retreated. Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand and gave an order to the servants: “Escort concubine Yao, second young miss and second young master back to the Willow courtyard. The servants will listen to all matters, including food, clothing and expenses, will be done according to the concubine-mother.”

“What?” Chen shi instantly became enraged. In a couple steps, she stood before Feng Jin Yuan. “Husband, what are you saying?”

Feng Jin Yuan shook off the hand that held his wrist and repeated. “I said, to let Yao shi bring A-Heng and Zi Rui to settle in Willow courtyard.”

“Absolutely not!” Chen shi was basically shrieking, “If they stay at the manor, what will come of my Chen Yu?”

Feng Chen Yu swiftly covered Chen shi’s mouth. She knew what Chen shi meant. If Feng Yu Heng remained in the manor, then the marriage would not be hers. While it was that way in theory, the reality might differ.

“Mother, regardless of who is in the manor, Chen Yu is still the daughter of the first wife. This point will not change.” Given the situation, it sounded better when the daughter of the first wife said it.

Of course, Feng Jin Yuan knew the hidden meaning behind Chen shi’s words. Yet Feng Chen Yu salvaged it in a gratifying manner without disorder. He had not wasted his time raising this daughter. No matter what she did, it brought a feeling of satisfaction.

“Yes.” He nodded. “Chen Yu is my Feng family’s daughter to the first wife. This fact will never change.” While saying this, his eyes looked toward Feng Yu Heng.

Feng Yu Heng also looked towards him. Her eyes were not like Feng Chen Yu’s slightly drowsy yet dazzling eyes. Instead, her eyes were quick and profound. With just a look, he could not fathom the depth behind her eyes.
