Chapter 95 (2/2)

Feng Jin Yuan also understood when to stop. They had, after all, come in bearing gifts and were speaking humbly, so he could not act too full of himself.

Thus he also lightly joked, saying: “The matters between women are already in the past. How could this official argue with my lord.”

Lord Ding An finally let out a sigh of relief and sat back down in the guest chair. Raising the cup of tea, he took a sip.

But after apologizing, Lord Ding An did not seem to have any intention of leaving. Feng Jin Yuan accompanied him for a while and saw that something was amiss and could not help but ask: “Could it be that my lord has some other matter?”

Lord Ding An laughed in embarrassment then said: “Not to hide it from Lord Feng, but this lord indeed came today to make a request.”

“Oh? This official does not know what my lord needs help with?”

Lord Ding An took another large gulp of tea and deliberated for a while then said: “It’s related to the result of my daughter’s mess. Lord Feng might not know, but that day, his Highness the seventh prince was also present. After running into this act, he actually said… he actually said that he would report to the Emperor and have the Emperor sanction Qing Le’s marriage. Ah! That person is just one of the manor’s guards. How could Qing Le marry him?”

“Then my lord’s meaning is…” Feng Jin Yuan’s face became cold. He had long since sent someone to investigate the happenings of that day. Qing Le clearly wanted to frame Feng Yu Heng. Your manor’s imperial daughter can not marry him, but my Feng family’s daughter can? Thinking along those lines, his anger slowly crept up: “You and I both know his Highness the seventh prince’s temper. He may appear to be easygoing, but there is not a single thing that can be easily discussed with his Highness the seventh prince. I fear that for this matter, this official is truly powerless.”

How could Lord Ding An allow him to block the conversation. He quickly added: “You could have the second young miss to discuss it with his Highness the seventh prince! This lord heard that second young miss and his Highness the seventh prince are really close, and she even calls him seventh brother.”

Feng Jin Yuan frowned, feeling more and more that this Lord Ding An was too shameless. “My lord, imperial daughter and that guard are interested in each other. Why does my lord not help them achieve their goals, instead want to separate the affectionate couple?”

Lord Ding An slapped his thigh, “How is it that they are interested in each other!”

“Then what is it?” Feng Jin Yuan stared at Lord Ding An inquisitively, “If they are not interested in each other, how could such a thing happen?”

Lord Ding An was rendered speechless and only uh’ed for a long while before uttering: “Daughter is not very understanding. It’s all because my daughter does not understand anything. I hope that Lord Feng can help this lord this once. If this can be done, then this lord will definitely give great thanks.”

Feng Jin Yuan definitely did not think much of Lord Ding An’s thanks. This was a completely powerless and unused lord. The Emperor had even stripped him of his right to attend court, so what sort of great thanks could he provide. “I fear that this matter will need to be discussed with my second daughter.”

Just as he said these words, a servant came in and bowed, saying: “Master, second young miss arrived.”

Lord Ding An was impatient and hurriedly said: “Quickly!” He then immediately felt Feng Jin Yuan’s glare and timidly shut up.

“Bring the second young miss in.” Feng Jin Yuan said slowly.

The servant immediately left, and not long after, Feng Yu Heng walked in with Wang Chuan.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Lord Ding An sitting on the guest chair. She then also saw the two wooden chests in the middle of the room and came to an understanding.

“Daughter greets father and greets my lord.” Her face did not show any visible expression, as she courteously paid her respects.

Feng Jin Yuan was already accustomed to Feng Yu Heng’s mannerisms. Lord Ding An had also experienced Feng Yu Heng’s temper at the birthday banquet. At the moment, none had any arguments. Lord Ding An pleasantly said: “There is no need for second young miss to be so courteous.”

Feng Yu Heng merely said: “My lord is too kind.” However, she did not even glance at Lord Ding An, “I do not know why father has called A-Heng. Is something the matter?”

Feng Jin Yuan nodded, “It is not father that has some matter. It is Lord Ding An who has a matter to discuss with you.”

“Oh?” Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, “I am a rank-less daughter of a concubine. How could my lord have anything to discuss with me. Father, do not ridicule A-Heng. If there are no matters, then A-Heng will be going back.” After saying this, she turned and prepared to leave.

Lord Ding An rushed forward and grabbed Feng Yu Heng.

Feng Yu Heng’s eyes lit up. She fiercely shook her arm and shook off the Lord Ding An who had for many years fought many battles.

“My lord, please have some self-respect!” She coldly said, her gaze becoming even more lively.

Lord Ding An was shocked by her. He absolutely did not expect the Feng family’s second young miss would be capable of martial arts. He could not help but look at Feng Yu Heng a little longer.

Feng Yu Heng frowned even more, “My lord looking at this humble girl, what exactly is your meaning? This humble girl’s age is even younger than imperial daughter Qin Le. My lord had better not have any weird intentions.”
