Chapter 252 (1/2)

Granny Zhao anxiously said from the side: “Regardless of what it is, the person who has come to present it is already on their way. Elder madam, you must prepare yourself!”

“Yes, yes.” The matriarch stood with the help of granny Zhao. After a month of rest, her back was much better, and she could basically walk again.

Seeing the matriarch get out of her seat, everyone else also stood up. Fen Dai glared at Chen Yu then coldly snorted, saying: “This matter is not over! Don’t assume that you can brush over it.”

Chen Yu maintained that puzzled expression, “I don’t understand what fourth sister is saying.”

The matriarch angrily scolded: “Everyone shut up! What sort of time is it? You still have the heart to talk about this?”

Just as these words were spoken, a person reported from the outside: “The Empress’ decree has arrived!” At the same time, a female administrator walked in.

The matriarch quickly went forward to salute then say: “This decree came suddenly, and the people of the manor still have not gotten up. This old one will send people for them.”

The female official glanced inside the hall, her eyes lingering on Feng Chen Yu for a while then said: “There’s no need. If eldest young miss Feng is present, that is enough. This decree is for her.”

The matriarch was stunned then immediately retreated. Leading the way, she knelt down and waited for the decree to be announced.

Fen Dai glanced sideways at Chen Yu. As she saw it, Chen Yu was absolutely about to suffer again. This could be considered what everyone in the Feng manor thought because every time that an imperial decree came from the palace for Chen Yu, it was never anything good.

Chen Yu was also nervous. She knew that she had not offended any people with noble backgrounds, nor had she participated in any banquets, so how come the Empress had come again to find fault with her?

The female administrator saw that everyone had already knelt, thus she cleared her throat and loudly said: “Announcing her Highness the Empress’ imperial instructions, the Feng family’s eldest young miss, Feng Chen Yu, has been excused from the punishment of needing to apply black blush whenever going outdoors. Feng Chen Yu has been excused from the punishment of being forbidden from entering the palace for five years. We hope that eldest young miss Feng will remember this imperial grace and take care of herself.”

It was a good thing?

Chen Yu’s eyes immediately became wide, as the feelings of joy filled her voice.

The female official was very satisfied with her reactions and said: “Eldest young miss Feng, you still do not give your thanks for this grace?”

Only then did Feng Chen Yu react and quickly bow deeply, saying: “Chen Yu thanks her Highness the Empress for her grace.”

The imperial decree was officially handed down.

The people of the Feng manor all stood up. This pleasant surprise had come too quickly, and nobody was able to recover their wits for a while. It was Feng yu Heng who was most calm and asked that official: “How come her Highness the Empress suddenly changed her mind?”

The female official recognized Feng Yu Heng. Seeing her speak, she expressed even more courtesy than when speaking to the matriarch. Bowing deeply to Feng Yu Heng, she politely replied: “Responding to county princess, it was his Highness Prince Jing who went to ask for her Highness the Empress to forgive eldest young miss Feng.”

“Oh.” Feng Yu Heng nodded and said to Chen Yu: “His Highness the eldest prince is truly serious.”

Chen Yu’s heart filled with emotion. Previously, she liked Xuan Tian Hua, but Xuan Tian Hua saw her as nothing. Her father wanted to marry her to Xuan Tian Ye, but Xuan Tian Ye did not take her seriously, and he had even ruined her stage at the previous banquet. Not only had he cost her a pair of earrings, that had also hurt Xuan Tian Qi’s heart.

Now that she looked at it, the eldest prince, Xuan Tian Qi, was indeed the most serious. With these two decrees coming at the same time, Feng Chen Yu had truly made a come back within the capital.

“This official’s daughter thanks her Highness the Empress and thanks his Highness Prince Jing.” She once again bowed to give thanks, as a hard-to-hide smile surfaced on her face.

Only after that female official left did the matriarch turn around. She looked at Chen Yu and did not know how she should face this granddaughter.

A good thing had occurred, but the thorn in her heart could not be removed. Fen Dai was right. Things seemed to be going exceptionally well for Feng Chen Yu, but there would always be a day where her body would be exposed. When that time came, the entire Feng family would become implicated!

Fen Dai nearly fainted from the anger caused by the imperial decree. The more she looked at Chen Yu’s face, the angrier she became. She was preparing to make a few more cutting remarks, but she suddenly saw Chen Yu turn to the matriarch and drop to the ground, “Grandmother, in order to prove Chen Yu’s purity, would grandmother please invite a granny into the manor! Chen Yu’s must not have a bad reputation!”

These words caused the matriarch and Feng Fen Dai to stare dumbfounded.

Find a granny to examine her body! Had Feng Chen Yu lost her mind?

The matriarch asked with a shaky voice: “Do you know what you are saying?”

Chen Yu nodded, “Granddaughter knows what she is saying. I also know what fourth sister is saying, but granddaughter really is not as fourth sister describes. Granddaughter has a pure body and can be examined at any time.”

She specially emphasized the “pure body” part. At the same time, her personal servant, Yi Lin, collaborated very well and nodded to the matriarch. She then walked over and whispered something into granny Zhao’s ear. Granny Zhao was extremely shocked after hearing it, as she subconsciously turned her gaze to Feng Yu Heng. She then leaned close to the matriarch’s ear and said: “It was second young miss who took action.”
