Chapter 255 (1/2)

Immediately following this, she saw a person rush in. While crying and shouting, she dove towards Fen Dai.

Behind her, a few maidservants followed her in saying: “Concubine mother, slow down! Be careful of your belly!”

Only then did she realize that it was Han shi! But she did not think that Han shi, who was going to dive towards Fen Dai would actually turn around and begin grasping for Chen Yu. Like claws, she reached her hands towards Chen Yu’s face.

The matriarch was scared silly. Chen Yu’s face had always been the thing that the Feng family took most pride in. Although there were times she felt that this granddaughter would become a wreck because of her beauty, Feng Jin Yuan valued Chen Yu. She could not allow anything to happen to Chen Yu while Feng Jin Yuan was away from the capital.

Thus she hurriedly said: “Quickly stop her! Eldest young miss absolutely must not be hurt!”

The maidservants, along with granny Zhao, all went to stop Han shi and managed to stop her. Once Han shi saw that her plan had failed, she immediately gave up then turned towards Fen Dai. But once she saw the blood on Fen Dai’s face, she was so frightened that she was nearly unable to breathe and nearly fainted.

“Quickly help her find a seat!” The matriarch so was anxious that she almost wanted to hop out of bed, “Help her breathe. Pat her back. Ah! You’re pregnant right now, so how can you still be so rash? Even if you do not think of yourself, how about thinking more about the child in your belly?”

Han shi had enjoyed a period of living in style thanks to her pregnancy, so she had ceased being respectful towards the matriarch a long time ago. Just as she became able to breathe, she immediately began screaming: “Fourth young miss is also one of the Feng family’s children. Mother-in-law, how come you would allow her to suffer such grievances? How come you don’t know to feel distressed for her?”

“When have I not felt distressed for her?” The matriarch was furious and wanted to beat Han shi with her pillow, but thinking of the child in her belly, she could only put it down. “If it were not for you suddenly barging in and wildly screaming, I was preparing to have someone call for a doctor!”

“You’re blaming me for screaming?” Han shi pointed at Fen Dai and said: “Fourth young miss’ face has already become like this, so how come you don’t scratch up the main culprit’s face?”

At this time, Yi Lin and Xing’er were both standing in front of Chen Yu to prevent Han shi from suddenly rushing over.

Chen Yu anxiously hid behind the two servants. Seeing that there was a moment of respite, she quickly said: “Concubine mother Han is mistaken. I did not harm fourth sister! It was fourth sister herself who broke a vase in my room. Then, out of carelessness, she stepped on a broken shard and fell. That is what caused her facial injury!”

Hearing her mention the vase, Fen Dai immediately said: “I did indeed break the vase by accident, and that is the reason you wanted to kill me!” She looked to the matriarch and hastily said: “Grandmother, you do not know, but there was something fishy in eldest sister’s vase! There was a weird cloth bag inside, and I saw it. I went to pick it up, but eldest sister rushed forward to push me, causing me to fall. Her servant then picked it up and ran away. With an injury to my face, I could only send my servant to go chase.”

The matriarch was dazed by what she heard, “Didn’t you just say that your face was cut by a knife?”

“I…” Fen Dai nearly bit her own tongue. Why had she been in a rush to mention a knife? “Granddaughter was muddled. It was not a knife. It was a piece of the vase.”

“What exactly was it?” The matriarch’s face immediately became dark, “Your story is incoherent. You even brought up that your eldest sister wants to kill you. As I see it, it was all just nonsense!”

“Grandmother!” Fen Dai’s eyes widened, “But granddaughter’s injury is real! And doesn’t grandmother want to know what was in eldest sister’s vase?”

As she said this, An shi rushed in with Xiang Rong. Seeing Fen Dai’s face, Xiang Rong retreated in fear.

Only then did Fen Dai realize that her face must be very red. Her desire to harm Chen Yu gradually dissipated, as she began to feel afraid. Trembling, she felt her own face, but she was given a painful shock.

“Wa!” In the end, she was still a child and immediately began crying. She cried and said: “My face! My face is ruined!”

An shi reminded the matriarch: “Dispatch someone to find a doctor first!”

The matriarch nodded and ordered granny Zhao: “Quickly go bring a doctor to the manor.”

Granny Zhao was also in a panic, saying: “If we send someone now, what time would it be by the time the doctor gets here? Fourth young miss’ wound is severe. It can not wait. As this old servant sees it… we should call second young miss!”

The matriarch also reacted and quickly said: “Then quickly go call her! Quickly!” A young servant immediately ran out to call her.

Hearing that Feng Yu Heng was going to be called over, she let out a slight sigh of relief. She no longer worried about her own face and began thinking of how to deal with Feng Chen Yu, “Eldest sister still has not said what was hidden inside that vase.”

Feng Chen Yu helplessly said: “Fourth sister, elder sister does not understand what you are saying at all. What cloth bag was there inside my vase? When did your servant chase after Yi Lin?”

Yi Lin saw the situation and quickly knelt to speak to the matriarch: “This servant’s stomach was not feeling well today and did indeed run out once, but when fourth young miss came looking for eldest young miss, she came alone. She did not bring her maidservant along at all!”

Xing’er also knelt down, saying: “Elder madam, please accept this report. This servant was cleaning up the yard, and I indeed did not see fourth young miss arrive with a servant.”

“You…” Fen Dai was dazed. Was this not nonsense? Had she daydreamed it?

Yi Lin, however, spoke up at this time, saying: “I don’t know which servant fourth young miss is referring to, but this servant went to fetch some snacks for eldest young miss last night. At that time, this servant saw fourth young miss in the middle of punishing the servant called Pei’er. At that time, it seemed that Pei’er interjected, and fourth young miss slapped her across the face.”
