Chapter 235 (1/2)

Fen Dai angrily gritted her teeth, “Eldest sister! Don’t believe I don’t know what you are thinking! Aren’t you just being jealous that his Highness the fifth prince came to discuss marriage with me? If you insist on saying it like this, then you had best pray that your future husband will be his Highness the seventh prince; otherwise, regardless of who comes to discuss marriage, I will tell them that the person in your heart is his Highness the seventh prince!”

Chen Yu was indeed jealous that the fifth prince had come to discuss marriage, thus she whined about Fen Dai without putting in much though. Now that she had rebutted so thoroughly with these words, she felt ashamed and incapable of showing her face.

The granny was dazed by what she heard. She never thought that she would learn about so many of the Feng manor’s secrets in this one trip!

Fortunately, Chen Yu was not stupid. Facing Fen Dai, she was stunned for a moment before immediately recovering and saying: “These past few banquets, I did take a few glances at his Highness the seventh prince, but what of it? His Highness the seventh prince is refined like a deity. Who in the world would not admire him a little? I am not the only one who has looked in his Highness the seventh prince’s direction. There is no need for younger sister to think too much on it.”

Her words were very reasonable and clearly told everyone that his Highness the seventh prince was loved by everyone. She was merely following the common trend.

Fen Dai pondered quickly then said: “If eldest sister says so, do you not fear that you have spoken too much? If you say it like that, there is nothing wrong with me looking a little more at his Highness the ninth prince.”

“Hehe.” Chen Yu immediately laughed, “His Highness the ninth prince’s face was ruined, and his legs are crippled. I truly do not know what fourth sister is looking at.”

“I…”

The two went back and forth with their argument, as they actually forgot that Feng Yu Heng was at the side.

It would be fine if they did not mention Xuan Tian Ming, but since they did, especially his face and legs, the person who had been watching the play immediately lost her temper. Glaring at the two with eyes like daggers, she coldly said: “Eldest sister and fourth sister are truly both experts in fighting! If this main hall is unable to accommodate you, I request grandmother to have servants escort both of you to the front yard to fight. That way, the Feng manor will avoid losing face.”

Once Feng Yu Heng spoke up, the matriarch also became furious, “Arguing and fighting like this, what sort of look is this? If you continue to argue, I will call for people to throw you both out!”

With the matriarch getting angry, Chen Yu and Fen Dai no longer dared say another word.

Especially Chen Yu, who felt that she had become agitated and forgotten that she must not anger Feng Yu Heng. Of all the things she could have talked about, she chose to speak about the ninth prince. Was think not just causing her to become upset?

Yi Lin prodded her a couple times from the side and gave her an apologetic look. Chen Yu was someone who was willing to be flexible, so she quickly said to Feng Yu Heng: “It’s all elder sister’s mistake. Second sister, please do not take it to heart. Elder sister will make amends.”

“Tsk!” Fen Dai rolled her eyes in irritation, “Eldest sister really is capable of changing demeanor quite quickly.”

Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow and looked at Chen Yu. No longer lingering on that topic, she said: “Since father is not at the manor presently, and there is someone here to discuss marriage with fourth sister, as the eldest sister, you should provide some opinions.”

Chen Yu lightly sighed, “I am now just the daughter of a concubine, so how could I have the right to discuss the marriages of my younger sisters. It should be second sister who helps grandmother come up with ideas.”

“Eldest sister, how should this be said? Wasn’t that set of earrings given by you to fourth sister? Having gifted the catalyst that brought this happy couple together, how could you take a step back at this time?”

Chen Yu trembled and stared blankly at Feng Yu Heng, suddenly recalling the events from the birthday banquet the night before. She remembered how a servant had suddenly gone over to her and said that she was one of the third prince’s people. His Highness the third prince told her to give away the white crystal earrings, or trouble would arise.

At that time, she had glanced at the third prince and found that he had stealthily nodded towards her. Thus, without thinking too much, she turned around and handed the troubling item to Fen Dai. But who knew, how could this be considered troublesome. She had truly gifted Fen Dai a heavenly favor.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu’s expression turned a bit uglier. If Fen Dai became engaged, who knew just how arrogant she would become in the manor for the coming years. How could she endure these younger sisters rushing ahead of her time and time again!

“If you say it like that, then his Highness the fifth prince is only interested in a pair of earrings and not fourth sister at all.” Chen yu glanced sideways at Fen Dai, “Younger sister, it would be best not to fantasize too much.”

“You are clearly just jealous of me!” Fen Dai could tell that Feng Chen Yu was just jealous of her, but what was this about the earrings?

The matriarch also understood a bit, “You are meaning to say that Chen Yu gifted Fen Dai a pair of earrings, and only this caused his Highness the fifth prince to take an interest in Fen Dai?”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, “That is indeed the case.”

The granny from the Li Palace quickly interjected: “Because of an item, feelings were developed. This was happy fate bringing lovers together.”

Fen Dai absolutely loved hearing this, “Granny is correct.” She then looked at Chen Yu and could not help but snicker and say: “I truly must thank eldest sister. Speaking of, if eldest sister did not gift them to me, with the full set of white crystal head ornaments, perhaps his Highness the fifth prince would have taken an interest in eldest sister. Unfortunate, truly unfortunate.”

“You’re welcome.” Chen Yu repressed a belly full of anger, “There’s no misfortune. If younger sister likes it, then when you get married, elder sister will gift the entire set to you.”

The matriarch hurriedly asked: “A full set of white crystal head ornaments?” She originally thought it was just a pair of earrings. Now that she heard that Chen Yu apparently had a full set of white crystal head ornaments, she was truly given a shock.
