Chapter 250 (2/2)
The servant gratefully replied: “Thank you eldest young miss for reminding me.”
“Un. It’s good if you understand.” Chen Yu smiled then looked around at the maidservants.
Feng Yu Heng looked at the scene before her and felt it was funny. Feng Chen Yu had been born exceptionally beautiful. After being recognized, she became even more beautiful. Now that she had a matching set of clothes and accessories, to say that she was the most beautiful person in the city was not an exaggeration in the slightest. She had to admit that, no matter if it was the previous life or the current one, Feng Chen Yu was the most beautiful girl that she had ever seen. Even if there were people who had surgeries to change their appearances, they were not as beautiful as her.
It was a pity that she had a face beautiful enough to cause the collapse of countries, but her heart was also vile enough to cause the collapse of countries.
She stepped forward and loudly said: “Eldest sister, long time no see.”
Once this voice was heard, Chen Yu trembled in fear. Hurriedly turning to look, she saw Feng Yu Heng faintly smiling and walking towards her. Her heart twitched a few times in reaction, causing her face to become a little pale.
But she still managed to calm herself, putting on a kind expression to receive her. Very warmly, she said: “When did second sister return? How come you did not send anyone to tell us earlier, so we could receive you at the entrance.”
Feng Yu Heng smiled and shook her head, “Eldest sister is too polite. We are all family, so where is the need for such rules. It has been many days since we last saw each other. It seems that eldest sister’s condition has recovered to its previous peak. It truly is gratifying.”
Feng Chen Yu knew that there was a hidden meaning in her words, but she pretended that she could not understand it, only taking them as praise, “Previously, my body had not been well. I’ve troubled younger sister with worrying about it. Second sister has come to pay respects to grandmother, right? I also just arrived. I heard that fourth sister is already inside, so I was in no rush to enter. Since you have arrived, let’s go in together.”
“That’s good.” Feng Yu Heng nodded and walked with Chen Yu towards the matriarch’s hall.
At this time, Feng Fen Dai was seated next to the matriarch. Sipping tea, she said: “His Highness the fifth prince said that it is almost the new year, so he must send a gift. Thus he sent someone to send some bank notes over. Five thousand taels were given directly to granddaughter, so I kept them. The remaining ten thousand will be a filial offering to grandmother, and it will be considered a bit of consideration from granddaughter.”
Granny Zhao handed the bank notes that she had just received over to the matriarch. Each note was worth one thousand taels, so there was a total of ten. Seeing this, the matriarch smiled widely.
“You’ve all ground up. Knowing to give filial offerings to grandmother is very good. Growing up, grandmother doting on you was not in vain.”
Fen Dai said with a smile: “Granddaughter is always thinking of grandmother. A few days ago, his Highness the fifth prince sent a few bolts of fabric, right. Granddaughter was reluctant to use them, so granddaughter already sent someone to make them into winter clothes for grandmother. Thinking about it, they should be ready in a few more days. At that time, I hope grandmother will not dislike it.”
The smile in the matriarch’s eyes became more profound, “I will not dislike it. I won’t. Anything sent by his Highness the fifth prince is extremely good. How could grandmother dislike it? As for you, don’t just keep sending good things to grandmother. You need to keep some for yourself.”
“Yes.” Fen Dai agreed with a smile then took another sip of tea.
Looking at Fen Dai, the matriarch simply felt happy. Previously, she felt that this granddaughter was an eyesore no matter how she looked, especially the scenes she put on in front of the ninth prince. That was even more of an eyesore.
But now that she thought about it, that was simply because Fen Dai was young. She did not understand anything. Now that she was a little older, and she had an engagement, of course she would be a little more likeable each day.
Feng Yu Heng and Chen Yu both reached the entrance at this moment. Chen Yu gently tugged at Feng Yu Heng’s sleeve and quietly said: “Fourth sister’s engagement was something grandmother did not approve of at first. But now that fourth sister has sent gifts from his Highness the fifth prince to Shu Ya courtyard one after another, grandmother’s attitude slowly changed.”
She did not say anything further, and the two entered the hall. Feng Chen Yu increased her pace a little and saluted to the matriarch before Feng Yu Heng: “Granddaughter greets grandmother.”
Feng Yu Heng did not compete with her and knelt behind Chen Yu “A-Heng was away from the capital for over a month and just returned to the manor today. A-Heng specially came to pay respects to grandmother.”
The matriarch was stunned for a moment, as she did not think that Feng Yu Heng would suddenly return. This gave her absolutely no chance to prepare. She could not help but glare at granny Zhao and scold her: “Second young miss returned to the manor, so how come nobody came to report earlier?”
Granny Zhao quickly said: “It was this old servant that neglected her duty.” In her mind, however, she began to think, how come nobody had come from the entrance to report? What she did not know, however, was that the people at the entrance had been thrown in a mess because of Han shi. How could they still have time to worry about such things.
Feng Yu Heng, however, said: “A-Heng is not a guest. What would be the reason for a report. Has grandmother’s body been well recently?”
The matriarch smiled awkwardly, “Yes, you are not a guest. My body has been fine. I’ve troubled you for your concern. Quickly get up and be seated.” Her tone was much more distant than it had been in the past.
Feng Yu Heng did not argue and chose a seat opposite Feng Fen Dai to sit in.
The matriarch had already turned her attention to Chen Yu, as she felt that Chen Yu’s appearance today was truly beautiful. This granddaughter was truly beautiful. Even though she had watched her grow up, she was always surprised by Chen Yu.
“These clothes, they are newly made, right?” She asked about the clothes, but the matriarch’s eyes were focused on the dangling head ornament. She had lived for a long time, yet she was still unable to determine what it was made of.
Feng Yu Heng took a look then pretended to speak without any intentions: “Thinking about it, that should be amazonyte. It’s a very rare item. It should be more valuable than glass-type ornaments.”
Once these words came out, Fen Dai’s gaze became frosty…
