Chapter 193 (1/2)
Feng Yu Heng looked curiously at that young master who had fainted. No matter how she looked, she could not see the slightest resemblance to Feng Jin Yuan. She searched through the memories of the body’s original owner and found that the matriarch only had Feng Jin Yuan as her only son. Where would a nephew like this come from?
At this time, some of the surrounding citizens began to speak, but it was in mockery of the page: “This truly is a case of surging waters flooding the Dragon King’s Temple. The young miss right before you is the Feng family’s daughter. If your young master truly is the nephew of Prime Minister Feng, then they would be related!”
The page was startled then began to carefully look at Feng Yu Heng. When he looked, he saw that there was a slight resemblance to Feng Jin Yuan, but he had never met the young misses of the Feng family. He did not know which young miss she was.
Seeing the page in a daze, someone said: “You wouldn’t happen to be a fraud, right? You don’t even recognize the Feng family’s daughter to the first wife, but you still dare say your family’s young master is Prime minister Feng’s nephew?”
Hearing that she was the daughter to the first wife, the page smiled “You are young miss Chen Yu? You truly are young miss Chen Yu?”
Feng Yu Heng frowned and looked at him. She did not let out a sound, but it was Wang Chuan who said: “What young miss Chen Yu. This is the Feng manor’s daughter to the first wife.”
“Is the Feng manor’s daughter to the first wife not young miss Chen Yu?” The page was unable to react for a long time. Startled, he looked at Feng Yu Heng and suddenly recalled that Feng Chen Yu had already turned 14. Once the year passed, she would be of marriageable age; however, the girl before her did not appear to be 15. He could not help but ask: “Are we speaking about the same Feng family?”
Feng Yu Heng nodded, “There is only one Prime minister Feng. There are no others.”
“But…”
“There are no buts.” She stood up and glanced once more at the unconscious young person. After some observation, she could see that there was some resemblance to Feng Zi Hao. “You must be people from the Chen family, right? The Emperor has decreed that the Feng family does not recognize Chen shi as the head wife, so Feng Chen Yu naturally is not the daughter of the first wife. Bring this person into Hundred Herb Hall. This county princess will treat him.”
The page boy did not quite understand what Feng Yu Heng said. How was it that Chen Yu was no longer the daughter of the first wife? Was the position of daughter to the first wife and daughter of a concubine something that could be so easily changed in the capital?
Fortunately, he understood that Feng Yu Heng allowed him to bring the person into Hundred Herb Hall. Only then did he realize that there was a medical clinic not too far ahead. For a moment, he rejoiced and quickly went to carry his young master.
The onlookers nearby were kind and went to help. Very quickly, they brought him inside.
Huang Quan stared at the young person with an irritated expression, as she muttered to herself: “I really don’t know what young miss is thinking. For a person of the Chen family, just let him freeze to death. Why bother saving him?”
Wang Chuan smiled bitterly and shook her head, “With this many sets of eyes watching, if he truly did die before the entrance of Hundred Herb Hall, the past two days of handing out warm tea would have been wasted.”
The past few days there had been countless who had been frozen. Even the clerks of Hundred Herb Hall had learned how to handle treatment. Feng Yu Heng saw that the person had been carried in and no longer paid him any heed. She only advised Huang Quan: “Go back to Feng manor and make a report. There is no need to worry about anything else.” Huang Quan agreed and left. Feng Yu Heng then returned to distributing hot tea outside.
At this time, Xuan Tian Hua was speaking with someone who had come from Chun Palace. Seeing Feng Yu Heng had returned, he said: “A-Heng, I need to go into the palace. Father Emperor and imperial concubine mother have both sent people looking for me.”
She nodded, “Go ahead. Pay attention to your injury and don’t put weight on it. Later on, I will prepare some more medicine and have someone send it to seventh brother.”
“Alright.” Xuan Tian Hua did not wait around any longer. With the help of a servant, he entered a carriage. Right before he left, he said: “News that Hundred Herb Hall has been serving the citizens has already made its way to father Emperor. Little girl, just wait to receive your award.”
Feng Yu Heng did not care whether or not she received an award. She only began to worry more and more about Xuan Tian Ming the further away Xuan Tian Hua’s carriage went. Previously, she had always been wanting to go over and take a look, but now that she thought about it, she felt that she should trust him a little more. A girl could not simply want to run over to the military camp out of concern just because of some Winter disaster. If this were seen by his officers, who knew what types of jokes would be made.
Having thoroughly thought this through, she no longer concerned herself with leaving the city to visit the military camp. Instead, she began to worry about the ever-growing line outside of Hundred Herb Hall.
Continuing on like this was not possible. A cup of hot tea did not resolve the most fundamental problem. What the citizens needed were more goods for after the disaster. A portion of them also needed for their houses to be rebuilt, which would require a large amount of money.
“Wang Chuan.” She handed the cup in her hand to a clerk and dragged Wang Chuan off to the side then quietly said: “I need you to go back to the manor and visit Feng Chen Yu. Just say I wanted you to see what she feels about the matter. Also tell her that it is best to handle it sooner rather than later. The later it is done, the more danger there is.”
Wang Chuan nodded and did not ask what exactly this matter was. She only advised Feng Yu Heng: “Then young miss, please take care of yourself.”
“Don’t worry. There is still Ban Zou here. There is also this many people at Hundred Herb Hall. It will be fine. Go quickly and return quickly.”
Wang Chuan saw that she was in a rush and quickly headed for the Feng manor. A this time, a clerk ran out from Hundred Herb Hall and said to her: “Boss, that young man from earlier woke up.”
“I will go take a look.” Feng Yu Heng followed him into the hall. Sure enough, the young man with a faint appearance of being from the Chen family had woken up, but his face was still pale white. Sitting on the bed, he sighed repeatedly. “Such a large guy, yet he begins sighing immediately after waking up. What sort of situation is this?” She hated this type of man who would put on a worried face at every turn, “What good is there in lamenting the state of the world? If you have the time for this, it would be better to go help in the front with handing out tea.” She spoke while feeling the person’s pulse. The young person was startled and wanted to pull his hand back, but Feng Yu Heng rolled her eyes and scolded him: “What are you moving for? Have you never seen a doctor check your pulse?”
Only then did that person stop struggling, as he looked at Feng Yu Heng, not daring to even breathe loudly. His page stood at his side and also carefully lowered his head, afraid to speak.
