Chapter 104 (2/2)

“Shut your mouth!” Feng Jin Yuan nearly went mad from anger, “You dare spout just about anything. Do you two want for the Feng family to come to a terrible end?” He spoke and glared at Chen Yu: “This has nothing to do with you. Go back to your room!”

Chen Yu felt wronged and wanted to continue, but Feng Jin Yuan’s expression sank, and she truly felt afraid. There was nothing she could do but bow and reluctantly leave. Right before she left the room, she spat out: “His Highness Prince Chun is innocent.”

Feng Yu Heng very nearly let out a laugh. Only thinking about that person. Falling into the web of love, logic will fall to the side.

She had no intention of remaining here any longer. She looked once more at Chen shi, who was still on the ground, and coldly said: “I really do not understand. Why exactly did father bring such a person back to the manor? Grandmother was right when she said that this person had even offended the Emperor.”

Saying this, she pulled Zi Rui and called Yao shi before turning and leaving.

The matriarch said with a trembling voice: “Jin Yuan, is that sir Mo very well respected by the Emperor?”

Feng Jin Yuan sighed, “Not just respect. The Emperor thinks very highly of him. Did you not hear him say it, not only does he make food cooked with medicine for the Emperor and Empress, he even takes care of the food for imperial concubine Yun.”

“It’s over!” The matriarch felt her soul leak out: “It’s over!”

Feng Jin Yuan looked over this dramatic scene. Looking down at Chen shi’s body on the ground, he suddenly recalled the third prince, Xuan Tian Ye’s, words “The daughter of the first wife must be fitting and proper. Her mother can die, but what is with leaving her in a nunnery?”

Gritting his teeth, he immediately made a decision.

Inside Tong Sheng pavilion

Wang Chuan brought some food to Feng Yu Heng’s room on a tray, “Young miss, this is a dish that sir Mo specifically had the chefs leave for you. You did not eat much earlier at Peony courtyard, so this servant heated it up, thinking that young miss would definitely be hungry.”

“It really is my Wang Chuan who is most dear!” Feng Yu Heng practically flew towards the table, “How was it that I did not eat much. I did not eat at all. Ah, what a pity, that table of good food. What a pity, those were good medical herbs. That’s right, mother and Zi Rui did not eat much either. Was any food left for them?”

Wang Chuan smiled and ladled some congee for her: “Young miss should eat quickly. Huang Quan brought food to madam and young master’s side. There is some food left in our kitchen for tonight.”

Feng Yu Heng nodded. Thinking a little more, she said: “In the future, our Tong Sheng pavilion needs to eat foods cooked with medicine more often. You guys should also eat it. I will prepare the recipe for the chef and teach them how to make it.”

Wang Chuan quickly thanked her: “Following young miss really is a blessing.”

As the two spoke, a servant came in from outside and timidly reported: “Young miss, concubine mother Jin Zhen came to request a meeting again.”

Feng Yu Heng still held a piece of lamb between her chopsticks. Thinking a little, she said: “Allow her in.”

Very quickly, Jin Zhen came in behind the servant. The servant also knew how to act in this situation, as she turned and left the room. She then closed the door behind her.

Jin Zhen quickly walked over to Feng Yu Heng. She did not have time to worry about saluting, as she cried: “Second young miss, have you finished thinking about the matter this servant spoke about previously?”

Feng Yu Heng’s chopsticks did not stop moving. As she ate, she gestured to Jin Zhen: “I see that you probably did not eat enough. Sit and eat some more with me. Your body is one that should be craving for food.”

Jin Zhen shook her head, “How could I have any appetite. This servant’s mind is only thinking about the matter of this child. I beg second young miss to help this servant.” She said this then advanced a couple steps, quietly saying: “Chen shi has been locked up in Jin Yu courtyard by master. This time, she has not been punished with just confinement. She is being completely guarded.”

“Oh?” Feng Yu Heng looked at her, “What does completely guarded mean?”

Jin Zhen replied: “The door has been locked from the outside. The servants have also been informed that they are not to deliver any food to her room. I secretly asked a servant I knew well and that servant said Chen shi’s room only has a pot of cold tea. Aside from that, there is not a single thing that can enter her mouth. It has now become Autumn, but her room’s blankets have been swapped to thin summer blankets. The servants are not permitted to change them back.”

Feng Yu Heng blinked. For the sake of protecting Chen Yu, had her father finally resorted to that tactic?

Jin Zhen then continued: “It seems that second young miss has realized master’s intentions; however, when Chen shi had previously been sent to the nunnery, master had said that she would never return to the manor. However, not a few days later, she was brought back. It seems that the Chen family’s influence is quite large. The current opportunity is hard to come by. If they want to make sure that Chen shi has no way of coming back, they must use a stronger medicine.”
