Chapter 112 (2/2)

On her end, she rushed to return to her own courtyard. Meanwhile at the mourning hall, Feng Jin Yuan simply ordered He Zhong to build another mourning hall at Peony courtyard. With this side being burned to its current condition, it could no longer be used.

The matriarch quietly snorted and unhappily said: “A perfectly good Peony courtyard will be tainted with bad luck for no reason.” As she said this, she looked at Feng Jin Yuan and suddenly asked: “When the ninth prince swings his whip, could it be that you lost your mind? You actually wanted to push me out. Why don’t you just have them beat your mother to death?”

Feng Jin Yuan hurriedly knelt in fear, “Mother, I absolutely do not dare say this. Even faced with the whip, son definitely does not dare let mother be harmed!” As he said this, he looked towards Feng Yu Heng. His tone was completely helpless: “A-Heng, father knows that my actions today caused to you feel cold, but on the basis of blood relations, can you not incite Prince Yu to whip the people of your family?”

Feng Yu Heng was puzzled: “When did I incite him? It was eldest brother that ran over on his own. He event yelled something about wanting Xuan Tian Hua to help his mother right a wrong? Father, could it be that you did not hear it?”

Feng Jin Yuan had obviously heard it. Helpless, he clenched his fist and punched the ground, “Zi Hao had been spoiled rotten by his mother.” He said this and recalled something he had wanted to say to Feng Yu Heng: “A-Heng, father also needs to remind you. Those two are princes, after all. How can you directly call them by their names?”

Not waiting for Feng Yu Heng to respond, the matriarch became angry: “Can you worry about the important matter? A-Heng gets along well with the ninth prince. Have you not seen how happy the ninth prince looks when she calls his name? Did you not hear A-Heng call the seventh prince seventh brother? A-Heng is a very understanding child. There is no need for you turn A-Heng into a scoundrel like Zi Hao!”

Feng Jin Yuan felt his temper fade, as he was scolded. He only nodded and remained silent.

Feng Yu Heng picked up the matriarch’s cane and handed it back to her. She was completely satisfied with the matriarch’s actions today. She could tell that the matriarch had said these things not for the sake of receiving some sort of goodwill. Instead, she said these things because they were indeed what she thought.

Once again holding the cane, the matriarch’s mood stabilized and could not help but hold on to Feng Yu Heng’s hand and lightly pat of the back of it. “A-Heng, grandmother’s age is getting up there. I can no longer control this family. In the future, stay further away from that eldest brother of yours. Do not let him hurt you in his frenzy.”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, “Do not worry, grandmother. A-Heng will be careful.”

The matriarch glanced at Feng Jin Yuan and helplessly shook her head. Her gaze slightly gave off the air of her pondering something.

At this time, Xuan Tian Hua was pushing Xuan Tian Ming towards Tong Sheng pavilion. With a servant leading the way, they arrived at the moon gate in Liu courtyard. They stopped there: “Your Highnesses, just ahead is Tong Sheng pavilion.”

Xuan Tian Hua nodded and calmly said to the servant: “We will go in alone. You can go back.”

The servant’s face instantly became red. Bowing to the two, she covered her face and trotted away.

The servant guarding the entrance to Tong Sheng pavilion naturally knew who it was that came. Long before these two powerful people arrived, someone had come to report this ahead of time. Now that they saw them approaching, they quickly went forward and saluted before leading them to their master’s courtyard.

Yao shi had gone earlier in the morning to the Feng manor and returned at noon to take care of Zi Rui. Just before Xuan Tian Ming arrived, she was preparing to go over again, but Huang Quan came back with news of what happened at the mourning hall and concisely told her about it.

Yao shi was very surprised and immediately asked: “Did A-Heng get hurt? You said Zi Hao used a sword? Did he hurt our A-Heng? Did the fire burn her? Wang Chuan will be fine in taking care of A-Heng, right?”

These words were heard by Xuan Tian Ming, and he could not help but say: “Hear that. Those are the words of a birth mother.”

Xuan Tian Hua nodded, but he also refuted him: “Not all foster mothers are bad. Our princess mother, example, treats me like a birth mother would.”

Xuan Tian Ming replied, bragging: “Of course! Could my mother be the same as other mothers!”

The two spoke and did not avoid other people. Yao shi and Huang Quan had heard what they said. Yao shi pulled the recently-arrived Zi Rui and went over. To show politeness, they knelt and paid their respects, but they were stopped by Xuan Tian Hua.

“Madam, there is no need for this.”

Xuan Tian Ming also said: “You are A-Heng’s birth mother. If I accepted your politeness, A-Heng will bite me.”

Yao shi felt a wave of embarrassment. What did he mean, bite him?

Feng Zi Rui was happy to see Xuan Tian Ming. The young child did not know fear and jogged over to Xuan Tian Ming, happily saying: “Very powerful Highness, did you come to see my big sister?”

Recently, he had become chubby from eating, and his round face was very adorable.

Xuan Tian Ming picked this child up and put him on the armrest of his wheelchair, telling him: “I have already seen your sister. Now, I came to see you.”

As he said this, a guard brought a bag of desserts forward and handed them to Zi Rui.

At this time, a servant jogged over to Huang Quan’s side and quietly said to her: “Fourth young miss is coming over here.”
