Chapter 59 (2/2)

Feng Yu Heng opened her innocent eyes: “How could I know? If this senior Daoist had a mind to, then I fear he could even make a rock look like stolen goods.”

Feng Chen Yu advised her: “Second sister do not speak like that. Senior Daoist Zi Yang is a high ranking Daoist. He is Feng manor’s guest.”

Yao shi saw the matriarch cause such grief for Feng Yu Heng and interjected in frustration: “Our second young miss would not take the initiative in aggravating anyone. She hid away in such a far place to live, why is there still people who make trouble for no reason?”

Feng Zi Rui joined in and added some childish things: “Why did elder brother come to the place where we live late at night? Was he playing hide and seek?”

Granny Sun reacted at this time, but it was with a grief-filled face that she said to Yao shi and Feng Yu Heng: “Concubine mother, second young miss, since they do not believe you. Let’s allow them to search! An innocent person will naturally be found to be innocent.”

Feng Yu Heng agreed with granny Sun: “Then go search, but this senior Daoist. Let’s put the ugly things first. If you really do point at a damn rock, do not blame me for turning hostile.”

After a while, Feng manor mobilized countless servants and sent them running to Tong Sheng pavilion. Each one flew over, as though they were afraid of falling behind.

An shi looked over at Feng Yu Heng with concern. Seeing Feng Yu Heng slightly shake her head back, she relaxed. It seemed the second young miss had made some preparations.

Tong Sheng pavilion was far. Coming and going, in addition to searching, took a full two hours.

But when that group of servants came out, their hands were empty. They had not found anything.

Granny Sun was a little panicked. She could not help but say: “Have you all looked carefully? Do not forget to check anywhere. If there comes a need for a second search, the second young miss’ courtyard is not a place anyone can enter.”

The servant in charge faced the matriarch and saluted, saying: “Matriarch, second young miss’ Tong Sheng pavilion really does not have anything special! We searched everywhere, from courtyard to rooms, and nothing was found.”

The matriarch nodded then said to Daoist Zi Yang: “Senior Daoist, could it be that you pointed out the wrong direction?”

Zi Yang shook his head, “If this poor Daoist didn’t even have this much ability, then I wouldn’t dare let the matriarch call me senior Daoist.”

Feng Yu Heng, however, quietly advanced. Looking at the compass in the old Daoist’s hand, she studied it for a while then suddenly turned her head to ask Feng Fen Dai: “Huh? Why do you suspect me? This person randomly points in a direction, so it must be my courtyard?”

These words were thrown out like daily chatter. Feng Fen Dai was completely unprepared and subconsciously said: “Who told you to have hatred for eldest brother?”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, “Oh, if you believe I would take revenge over that night’s matters, then…” She suddenly looked towards Feng Chen Yu, “Eldest brother did not just enter one person’s courtyard.”

These words reminded everyone. Speaking of those that Feng Zi Hao had wronged, it really wasn’t just Feng Yu Heng alone.

Jin Zhen, who had remained silent throughout, added: “That night, eldest young miss cried very sadly. This concubine, until now, still remembers it.”

“Shut up!” The matriarch berated Jin Zhen then said to Feng Yu Heng: “They are blood-related siblings. They both crawled out of the same mother’s belly. Naturally, it’s a different situation.”

“Oh?” Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow then looked again at Daoist Zi Yang’s compass. “How much money did your master give you? I will pay you three times more.” These words were said in an extremely quiet voice, such that only Zi Yang and herself could hear it.

Zi Yang was stunned and subconsciously glanced at Feng Yu Heng.

At this time, Feng Yu Heng turned her wrist and she pulled out a small magnet, placing it in her palm. She placed the magnet below the compass and changed the direction. Seeing the metal needle move immediately from its original position, she had it point towards a different place.

“Senior Daoist, please look!” She exclaimed, “Your compass moved again!”

For a while, everyone in Feng manor came over to see. They saw that needle firmly stopped in a direction without moving.

“Oh!” Jin Zhen spoke, surprised: “That direction… is the eldest young miss and head madam’s Ru Yi courtyard!” 1

Feng Chen Yu became angry: “Nonsense! How could mother and I harm brother!”

“Harm or not, we’ll know after a search.” Feng Yu Heng’s expression cooled. Turning around, she spoke to the servants present: “Go to Jin Yu courtyard and continue the search!”

The servants didn’t dare move.

“Grandmother.” She cast her gaze towards the matriarch, “Being biased towards people is normal, but if it’s too obvious, then it doesn’t look too good.”

What could the matriarch say. She could only wave her hand: “Go search!” Then to granny Zhao, who was beside her, she said: “You also go take a look.”

Chen Yu felt extremely grieved. Hiding to the side, she secretly wiped away her tears.

Han shi put on an act and comforted her for a while. Chen Yu actually cried harder and harder.

However, at this time, another person came to mess around. In the corridor, Feng Zi Hao could be seen, escorted by two servants. As he walked, he asked: “I heard someone wants to har me! Who exactly is it? Grandmother, you have to take responsibility for me!”
