Chapter 132 (1/2)
Feng Yu Heng did not even bother dodging, as she watched the crazed Qing Le meet up with the now-active Huang Quan. In the time it took to smile, Qing Le was kicked away by Huang Quan.
This was the first time Feng Chen Yu saw the servant take action. She previously knew that Prince Yu’s Palace had gifted two servants that were capable in martial arts, but she never thought they would be so good.
She stared blankly at Feng Yu Heng and saw a coldness and courage in this little sister’s eyes. She suddenly felt that she did not recognize this person. Regardless of whether it was the former daughter to the first wife Feng Yu Heng or the more recent daughter of a concubine Feng Yu Heng, it seemed as though neither should be like this.
She could not say precisely what felt off about Feng Yu Heng, but she felt a kind of despair growing at the bottom of her heart.
This little sister, it seemed… she could not defeat her.
Qing Le had knelt for a night and was now kicked by Huang Quan. She had fainted long before she was sent flying by the kick. When she landed there was only the sound of the landing. There was not a single person that went over to help her.
The granny did not mind Huang Quan taking action and kicking someone. She was someone who had been at the palace for a long time, so she had met Huang Quan and Wang Chuan before. Imperial concubine Yun’s former maidservants, who dared to offend them?
She smiled and looked at Feng Yu Heng, completely ignoring the fainted Qing Le. She politely said: “Is princess leaving the palace? Would you like this old servant to arrange a carriage to send you?” As she said this, she looked towards the Feng family’s carriage.
Feng Yu Heng smirked. It seemed that the palace’s grannies were all experts at managing the gates, thus she was not modest: “That being the case, I will trouble granny.”
“What is princess saying?” The granny quickly saluted before leaving to arrange a carriage.
When Feng Yu Heng returned home in the palace’s carriage, it was already seven in the morning. After bringing Xiang Rong back to the manor, Feng Jin Yuan told everyone about the happenings of the palace banquet. Presently, Chen Yu was still knelt outside the palace’s gates. Originally, the matriarch wanted Feng Jin Yuan to go see her, but Feng Jin Yuan felt that if he went, the Empress anger would flare up once more. Thus he could only send a carriage over to pick her up, while he remained in the manor, silently waiting.
Unfortunately, the daughter that returned in the morning was not the Chen Yu he worried most about. It was Feng Yu Heng.
“Did you see your eldest sister?” The moment Feng Yu Heng entered the manor’s gates, Feng Jin Yuan directly went over and asked this question.
She was slightly startled. She had not slept for an entire night, so her consciousness was a little off. Feng Jin Yuan’s question caused her become furious “Daughter remained at the palace for the night, yet father does not even ask once how I am?”
Feng Jin Yuan frowned and very impolitely said: “Haven’t you returned just fine! Your eldest sister was punished with protracted kneeling outside the palace. How can that be compared to being kept behind to treat the Emperor.”
She frowned and looked towards Feng Jin Yuan. Her mind had only one word that consistently rampaged in her mind, shameless!
“I did not see her!” She could not be bothered with wasting any words. With Huang Quan in tow, she turned and walked towards Tong Sheng pavilion.
Feng Jin Yuan also had not slept the entire night, so his temper was quite explosive. Seeing Feng Yu Heng actually had the courage to speak to him like this, he furiously shouted: “Stop this instant!”
How could Feng Yu Heng bother paying any attention to him. Pretending as though she had not heard him, she continued along her way. But before she could walk very far, a servant trotted over and stopped her “Second young miss, the matriarch is inviting you to Shu Ya courtyard!” Her words were polite and full of kindness. It was completely different from Feng Jin Yuan’s attitude.
Feng Yu Heng nodded. Bringing Huang Quan, she turned and followed the servant towards Shu Ya courtyard. Right before departing, she said to Feng Jin Yuan: “If father still has any questions, how about going to pay respects to grandmother with A-Heng. Eldest sister is the Feng family’s daughter to the first wife, but she lowered herself to act as Qing Le’s servant. I really do not know what our family’s position is in the capital.”
Feng Jin Yuan’s face alternated back and forth between being white and red. Presently, Feng Yu Heng was already following the servant and walking towards Shu Ya courtyard. Helpless, he followed, stomping along.
Also worrying about Chen Yu but in a different way, the matriarch’s entire SHu Ya courtyard was beaming with joy because Feng Yu Heng had returned to the manor. Granny Zhao was the first to greet her, not even taking note of Feng Jin Yuan behind her. She directly saluted Feng Yu Heng: “This old servant pays respects to second young miss! Second young miss has been busy all night over at the palace and must be terribly tired. Before the sun even came up, the matriarch had some pigeon soup to help second young miss recover.”
Feng Yu Heng smiled brightly and said to granny Zhao: “I truly have trouble grandmother with worrying. In this manor, it truly is grandmother that loves me most!”
Granny Zhao quickly invited her into the hall and followed up with what she had said: “The matriarch really loves second young miss. Not only did she prepare a pigeon soup, she even called for the capital’s best tailor. She was waiting for second young miss to return to the manor to make new clothes.”
“Oh?” Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, “Why is there such a rush to make new clothes?”
While they were speaking, the two had already entered the main hall. The matriarch was currently seated on the main seat. With a smiling face, she looked at Feng Yu Heng and took the initiative in responding to her question: “Our A-Heng won the phoenix hairpin, so we naturally must make a set of clothing to suit it.”
So it was for that reason.
