Chapter 141 (1/2)

When she said these words, her grief was shown clearly in her words.

The people of the Bu family were all stunned in place. Some of the children that did not really understand the situation began thinking after hearing what Feng Yu Heng had said.

They completely did not understand why Bu Ni Shang and head imperial concubine Bu wanted to place the cause of death of Lord Bu on this daughter of the Feng family. It was as she said, Lord Bu was smashed to death by head imperial concubine Bu. As for the person that threw her, it was the current Emperor. Could it be that they had to go ask the Emperor for a judgement?

Presently, the feelings of the Bu family members were changing. Head imperial concubine Bu was so furious her internal organ hurt, “Feng Yu Heng!” She practically squeezed these words through the gaps between her teeth, “You sharp-tongued girl, you should be clear on the reason behind the outcome!”

Bu Ni Shang also fiercely said: “You should not be too arrogant!”

Bu Bai Qi did not dare tell off the head imperial concubine, so he could only scold his own daughter: “There is no place for you to speak here!”

Feng Yu Heng, however, nodded towards Bu Ni Shang and head imperial concubine Bu, saying: “You are indeed correct! This matter started when Bu girl looked to compete with me in archery. I refused many times, but she continued to insist. Only after I won the competition, head imperial concubine felt a little angry and began venting on imperial concubine Hua. This offended imperial concubine Yun and caused the Emperor to become angry.” As she spoke, she suddenly began looking straight at Bu Bai Qi then raised her hand and pointed towards head imperial concubine and Bu Ni Shang. Putting on a stern face, she said: “The chief culprits are all here. Minister Bu, what are you waiting for?”

The members of the Bu family all took a deep breath. They had heard that the Feng family’s daughter had been sent to a village in the mountains, and outsiders called her wild daughter of the mountains. But at the palace banquet, Feng Yu Heng’s stunning triple arrow shot caused everyone to change the way they looked at this wild daughter of the mountains. Especially today, the Bu family’s people had experienced her skill with words. They thought that she really lived up to the expectations of a prime minister’s daughter with her oppressive aura, which made them feel as though breathing were difficult.

Feng Yu Heng’s words also froze Bu Bai Qi in place. In truth, he understood that this matter could not be blamed on the Feng family, but wanting him to offend the head imperial concubine and offend his own daughter was something he could not do! For a while, he stood there embarrassed with no way of ending it.

Just as everyone was speechless, and while the number of people who had come to offer condolences but could not enter the manor increased, a deep and hoarse voice came from within the manor “Enough!” With just one word, everyone in the Bu family turned around and bowed in the direction of the voice. Even head imperial concubine Bu shut her mouth and looked in that direction, her expression appearing respectful.

Feng Yu Heng turned her hand to look and saw an elderly woman coming out from the manor’s gates. She appeared five or six years older than her own grandmother and was dressed in a white funeral outfit with a white head cloth. Her expression was sad, but her eyes shone. In her hand was a cane. When she walked, it was powerful and heavy, her aura instantly enveloping the Feng matriarch.

Bu Bai Qi faced the elderly woman and said: “Mother.”

After the Bu family’s matriarch stopped, she fiercely glanced at Feng Yu Heng then said in a deep voice: “What day is it today? The people of the Bu family becoming a mess like this, who are you worthy of?”

The elderly woman was furious, and nobody in the Bu family dared speak up.

The Feng matriarch seemed to have been frightened by the other side and appeared a little unnatural. Feng Yu Heng leaned close to her side and quietly said: “Grandmother, you are a first rank official’s mother. Even if the elderly madam Bu is is an honorary lady, there is no need for you to lower your head.”

The Feng matriarch also felt this was right. Because the other side had a daughter who became the head imperial concubine, they made her an honorary lady, but her son was actually a first rank official, and he is of higher rank than the deceased Lord Bu. Why should she lower herself?

Thinking up to this point, the Feng matriarch slightly raised her head.

The Bu family’s matriarch did not refer to herself as a lady. Taking the initiative, she bowed towards the Feng matriarch: “The Feng family coming to offer condolences to my late husband is our Bu family’s good fortune.”

Head imperial concubine Bu, who had remained quiet for this time, was no longer able to endure. Glaring at Feng Yu Heng, she said: “If you want to go in to offer condolences, you may. You must kneel before this one. With every step, you must kowtow all the way to the mourning hall!”

She had used all her strength to say these words, causing her throat to strain. In an instant, her aura as head imperial concubine was displayed, scaring everyone.

But kowtowing with every step to the mourning hall, such a grand ceremony was given to such a young girl?

For a while, the people who had come to offer condolences discussed this and accused the head imperial concubine of oppressing people. The Bu family was completely out of line on this matter.

The eunuch at the head imperial concubine’s side suddenly shouted “Silence!” and the crowd fell silent.

“Feng Yu Heng.” Head imperial concubine Bu could not longer support herself and lay back down, “This one is a high ranking imperial concubine. Why is it that when I told you to kneel, you still did not kneel?”

The Feng matriarch felt this was a difficult situation. She was an elder. If she could not see it, then it would be fine, but since she had come along today, it would not be good to allow other people to bully her granddaughter.

The matriarch wanted to say a few words to stick up for her, but she was suddenly stopped by a small hand. Turning her head, she saw that it was Chen Yu.

“Grandmother, second sister has always been smart and naturally has a plan. If you become involved in it, perhaps things will implicate the family.”
