Chapter 116 (2/2)

The two left the manor together. When the two reached the gate, Xuan Tian Ye coldly said to Feng Jin Yuan: “I heard that Lord Feng’s son to the first wife caused another mess today.”

Feng Jin Yuan was helpless. It truly seemed that good news never made it out, but bad news travels at the speed of light. Feng Zi Hao’s idiotic actions had been seen by many people, so it was possible that the entire capital was passing this along as some sort of joke.

Seeing this appearance, Xuan Tian Ye felt a sudden surge of anger: “If Minister Feng can not even control your own family’s children, how do you plan to help this prince?”

Feng Jin Yuan quickly bowed and said: “Your Highness, please do not worry. This official will definitely resolve all of the matters within the home and will definitely not cause your Highness any problems.”

“Then Lord Feng, do put in some more effort. You must maintain internal stability while resisting external pressures. This should not require this prince to explain further. Do not allow your son to the first wife ruin any plans. Also,” He paused for a moment and glanced back at the Feng manor before saying: “That one just now, that was Chen Yu?”

Feng Jin Yuan nodded: “Indeed.”

“Un, truly stunning. This prince will tell Minister Feng the situation. That daughter of yours does not need to love this prince, but she, as a person, must do things for the sake of this prince. She must be careful and not ruin this prince’s ambitions because of her desires.”

After these words were spoken, Xuan Tian Ye left with his people.

Feng Jin Yuan could feel the cold sweat on his back. Prince Xiang had seen through Chen Yu’s desires? When the funeral concluded, he had to properly lecture Chen Yu and Zi Hao. He had to ensure that it did not go as Prince Xiang said with Chen Yu and Zi Hao ruining his plans.

This day, from morning to night, was spent welcoming and seeing guests off. The Feng family’s doorstep was nearly worn by all the visitors that came, and the family only ate dinner a full four hours late.

After the meal, the matriarch’s body could no longer handle any more, so she was the first to go and rest. With only some servants to watch over the coffin, everyone else returned to their own courtyards. The Chen family’s side had sent people over, saying that they would come at daybreak to send Chen shi off.

Because of Xuan Tian Ge’s imperial graces, Yao shi was so moved that she could not fall asleep. Feng Yu Heng went to her room and accompanied her. The two chatted until just before the sun came up, when the two fell asleep. The two had not slept for long before they were awoken by Huang Quan: “Madam, young miss, it’s time to get up. The CHen family’s people are already at the Feng manor’s gates.”

Chen shi being buried by the Chen family would save the Feng manor a good deal of trouble. When it came time to move the coffin, the entire family knelt while an attendant addressed them. After this, the coffin was carried out of the manor and put in a horse-drawn carriage.

Feng Zi Hao had come to bid farewell to Chen shi with the help of some servants. Seeing the coffin be placed on the carriage, Feng Zi Hao began to cry.

Seeing him cry, Chen Yu also began crying.

Seeing the two children cry, Chen Wan Liang felt moved and wanted to say a few comforting words, but he then heard Feng Zi cry and say: “Now that mother is gone, who will I ask for money to spend?”

This one sentence nearly caused Chen Wan Liang to vomit blood.

Turning around, he cupped his hand to Feng Jin Yuan and said: “Minister Feng, the Chen family does not blame anyone. It is all because of my sister’s lack of discipline towards her children. I hope Minister Feng will properly educate the two. Aside from that, my Chen family will be pulling its businesses out of the capital. The entire family will be moving back… I fear that we are unlikely to meet again.”

Feng Jin Yuan was very emotional. After all, it had been many years. Regardless of what was said, Chen shi had been of great help to the Feng family at the start.

He sighed and said: “Take care and be careful. There is nobody who can foresee the future. If there are any problems that arise in the old home, send someone over. You are, after all, still Zi Hao and Chen Yu’s uncle.”

Chen Wan Liang did not say anything else. Waving his hand, he left with the group that came for the coffin.

After this ordeal, he looked towards the concubine mother’s of the Feng family and felt his heart chill.

After the death of the dignified head wife of the house, there was no a person in the Feng family that took part in sending off the coffin. It was the maternal family that carried the coffin off to bury it at the old home. What sort of situation was that?

If this was the case with the head wife, then if it someday came around to them….

Han shi was under watch. In order to send off Chen shi, she sent some servants to take part in the crowd. She had originally wanted to beg for lenience with Feng Jin Yuan and have him forgive Fen Dai; however, seeing how miserable Chen shi was, she did not feel like there was any way to help Fen Dai.

Just as she was preparing to return to her courtyard, she heard Feng Jin Yuan suddenly call her: “Han shi!”

She felt a sudden rush of joy. She believed that Feng Jin Yuan was finally willing to stop ignoring her. She quickly raised her head and put on her customary obsequious look.

But Feng Jin Yuan currently had a head full of official matters. How could he be in the mood to notice her flirtatious looks. He only coldly told her: “Go back to your courtyard and tidy up Fen Dai’s things. Today before noon, I will send someone to have her sent to a hamlet in the suburbs of the capital.”

“What?” Han shi was shocked, “Husband, this is…”

“Don’t say another words.” Feng Jin Yuan was exhausted, “This is a poisonous fruit she planted herself, so she must eat it herself.” Saying this, he looked towards the other concubine mothers, “You should also remember what happened today. Although you are not the first wife, the young masters and young misses are still being raised before you. Do not allow them to become like Fen Dai and cause me heartbreak.”

The concubine mothers all complied, while Feng Yu Heng scratched her chin and asked Feng Jin Yuan: “Father, what happened to making things right for me?”
