Chapter 235 (2/2)

Chen Yu was waiting for the matriarch to ask and quickly replied: “It was his Highness the eldest prince who sent someone to send it to Chen Yu the day before yesterday.” When she said this, the paid attention to Feng Fen Dai and saw her face darken slightly. Rejoicing, she felt that she finally regained some face.

The matriarch was a little dazed. What had happened to her granddaughters? Why had they all suddenly received the prince’s affections? One was suddenly in discussions for marriage, and the other had actually received his Highness the eldest prince’s gift, yet she did not know about it?

The people of the Feng family fell silent, even Feng Yu Heng did not speak.

But the granny from the Li Palace was in a hurry. Seeing that nobody in the room spoke, she decided to take a few steps forward and placed the proposal letter on a table in front of the matriarch “His Highness’ proposal letter will be placed here. Would elder madam please give the fourth young miss’ proposal letter to this old servant. Allow this old servant to report back to his Highness.”

The matriarch was truly out of options. Granny Zhao could see that and could not help but whisper into her ear: “How about handing the proposal letter to her. Either way, the fourth young miss is only eleven years old. When master returns, it would not be too late to rethink things.”

The matriarch pondered a little and also arrived at a similar conclusion. Nodding her head, she informed a servant: “Go get the fourth young miss’ proposal letter.”

Once these words were said, Fen Dai was so happy that she nearly bounced with joy. She then quickly saluted the granny and thanked her for the grace.

The granny let out a sigh of relief and looked at the celebrating Fen Dai. Bowing, she said with a smile: “This old servant congratulates fourth young miss Feng… Oh, that’s not right. To the future secondary princess Li.”

Fen Dai’s vain heart swelled to its maximum extent. Only busying herself with laughing, she forgot to tell the granny to rise. Instead, it was Feng Chen Yu who went over to personally help the granny up, “Granny is an elder who takes care of his Highness Prince Li. Us as the younger generation are not worthy of receiving such courtesy. Please get up.”

Chen Yu did not apply her black blush when in the manor, so when the granny looked at the beautiful person before her, she began to ponder. His Highness the fifth prince had made a mistake this time. How did he let such a beautiful person go by, instead insisting on an eleven year old little girl?

Having finally dealt with that person, the matriarch sat in her chair for a long time without saying a word. Only when An shi was unable to continue waiting, she asked: “Elder madam, if there are no other instructions, we will be going back first.”

The matriarch waved her hand, as she was in no mood to speak with people, so she may as well let them go.

Feng Yu Heng was the first to stand up. Massaging her temples, she suppressed a headache and immediately walked out.

Chen Yu saw this and quickly followed. Chasing after Feng Yu Heng, she quietly said: “Second sister please do not be mad. Elder sister made a mistake earlier.” She truly worried that she had provoked this great person.

Feng Yu Heng, however, waved her hand, “It’s fine. I’m not mad. But if eldest sister can continue to treat people like this, that would be pretty good. Come find me tomorrow.” Leaving these words, she did not remain and quickly left Shu Ya courtyard.

Feng Chen Yu let out a long sigh of relief. She was a little expectant and a little worried.

Tomorrow, so long as she made it past tomorrow, she would be a brand new Feng Chen Yu. She would no longer need to be constantly on edge, and she would no longer need to curry favor with Feng Yu Heng, and she would no longer need to fear anyone. She could hold her head high while standing before others. She could even completely wipe out her past.

She was having quite a bit of fun just thinking about it!

“Make sure the bank notes are properly prepared. We will be going to Tong Sheng pavilion tomorrow.” Chen yu was unable to hide her smile while informing Yi Lin.

Yi Lin was a little more sensible, nodding while saying: “The granny prepared by third master is also just outside the manor. She can be brought in at any moment. Apparently, she was chased out of the palace. In her earlier years, she had examined the bodies of many graceful women who were entering the palace. Later on, because of a chronic illness, she was chased out of the palace. Without relatives or friends, when young miss is done with her and she is taken care of, nobody will be left to gossip about it.”

“Very good.” Chen Yu had always been very satisfied with the way her third uncle worked. Sometimes, she even felt this third uncle was even better than her prime minister of a father. But she also understood that the reason the Chen Family was helping her was for her ability to help the Chen family when she ascended to greater heights.

At this time, Fen Dai and Han shi could be heard whispering behind her. This mother and daughter were clearly incredibly happy. Without paying any attention to how they were still standing within Shu Ya courtyard, they began to speak arrogantly: “That small courtyard we are living is truly too stuffy. When father returns, we definitely must have him find us a larger one.”

Han shi supported this, “But of course! You are the future secondary princess of the Li Palace. If the Feng family mistreats you, it will be difficult to deal with his Highness Prince Li.”

“Ah! Who knew that our family’s most beautiful person would almost be at the age of marriage, yet not a single son of a noble family has come to discuss marriage, much less a prince.” Fen Dai raised her voice and said this towards the back of Chen Yu’s head. This angered Chen Yu so much that she nearly coughed up blood.

But Han shi followed it up, saying: “How is there not? I heard that the Chen family’s young master has already gone to the elder madam to discuss marriage, but I don’t know if she agreed or not. As the saying goes, it’s better to destroy ten temples than a single marriage. At a later date, we will need to advise elder madam. The Chen family’s young master and the eldest young miss are childhood sweethearts and are a great fit. This must not be delayed.”

“But of course.” Fen Dai giggled, “It would still be best to marry the Chen family’s young master, otherwise, if her scandal is exposed to the princes, I fear that it would implicate the entirety of the Feng family.”

Feng Chen Yu’s face turned green with anger. Clenching her fist, she could not stop trembling. Yi Lin had to do her best to stop her from turning around to rush at Fen Dai.

When she raised her head, she saw that Feng Yu Heng, who had left first, was stopped by a servant. She could not tell what was being said.

Feng Yu Heng had also seen then, so she naturally heard what Fen Dai had said. She could not help but smile and say: “Eldest sister, are you presently feeling regretful about that set of head ornaments? It’s not just a set of head ornaments. What you have hurt is his Highness the eldest prince’s sincere heart! If I were elder sister, I would leave myself a road out. To naively trust someone else and give away something that someone had given to express their feelings. That has muddied the situation, and I do not know what can be promised to you.”
