Chapter 295 (1/2)

Her mole was not very noticeable, as it was in the area where the neck met with the jaw. Without looking closely, it could not be seen. She would occasionally use some blush to hide it, and she would be able to. But she had forcefully escaped today, so even if she applied some basic makeup, how could she worry about such things. She did not think that it would actually end up being seen by someone.

After Princess Kang Yi’s surprise, she could not help but sigh: “This one does not know the rules of Da Shun and do not want to speak out of turn, but in our Northern country, a mole in that area is a symbol of nobility and power. Previously, there were three generations of rulers with moles in that area from birth. But these moles were all on men, and this was the first time this one saw a mole in that place on a girl.”

Hearing this, Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch both froze, as they subconsciously looked at each other. They then heard Feng Jin Yuan say: “She is my Feng family’s eldest daughter. That she is noble is unnecessary to say.”

Kang Yi, however, shook her head and said: “The nobility of a girl is not based on her maternal family. It is based on her husband’s family. Eldest young miss Feng’s nobility is not just this. Her fortunes will lie in the future.”

The words about her fortunes lying in the future caused the people of the Feng family to sink deep into thought. After a while, they heard Feng Jin Yuan say to the servants: “Tomorrow, take this prime minister’s seal and invite Liu Bing, imperial physician Liu to come to take a look at eldest young miss’ injury.”

The tears immediately poured from Chen Yu’s eyes. Feng Jin Yuan was going to invite a doctor to treat her injury. That definitely meant that she would not be sent to a nunnery. She originally thought that she was at the end of her rope; however, she did not think that in the blink of an eye, she would see the light at the end of the tunnel. She could not help but look at Kang Yi strangely. She felt dazed from hearing her call herself this one.

Feng Jin Yuan quickly introduced her: “This is Qian Zhou’s eldest princess, Princess Kang Yi. At her side is Princess Ru Jia. She is the eldest princess’ daughter.”

Chen Yu was slightly frightened. She had heard that the special envoy from Qian Zhou had arrived in Da Shun, but she did not think that it would be two princesses. But why had the two princesses come to the Feng manor?

She quickly stood up and kneeled: “Chen Yu greets the two princesses and was truly very rude earlier. I hope that the princesses will not take offense.” After all, they had spoken up for her and given her moon palace silk. This salute was very sincere.

Kang Yi quickly said: “Eldest young miss, there is no need to be so courteous. This one came to the manor today as a guest, so let’s not talk about courtesies for now.”

Kang Yi’s attitude was good, but Ru Jia, who was sitting at her side, felt that Chen Yu was too disgusting to look at with the piece of flesh missing from her forehead. She could not help but look away and say with dissatisfaction: “With such a serious wound, you don’t even hide it a little. Who are you trying to scare by revealing it?”

Chen Yu was truly embarrassed, raising a hand to hide it. Xing’er, feeling wrong, replied on her behalf: “Before, she had it covered, but the more it was covered, the more it decayed, so we could only leave it uncovered.”

It would be better if she did not say anything, as Ru Jia became even more disgusted. Kang Yi saw that she was about to begin speaking once more, so she quickly grabbed her daughter’s hand and said with a kind expression: “Who has never been hurt before. Like when you were young and hurt your leg, ending up with a large cut, did anyone ever say a bad word about it? Ru Jia, you must learn to respect others. Only like that will others respect you.”

It had to be said that the Feng family’s matriarch was originally a little dissatisfied with eldest princess Kang Yi because of the moon palace silk, but her graceful expressions and her clear distinction of right and wrong caused the matriarch to change her opinion. Not to mention the matriarch, but even An shi, Han shi and Jin Zhen believed that they had never seen such a woman before. They felt that even the Empress would not be like this, right?

But only Feng Yu Heng’s expression remained the same, as she watched the scene before her as though it was a stage play. Aside from love, she never believed that someone would treat another well for no reason; moreover, it was a foreign princess. Coming to the Feng family to act generously, it would leave people feeling a little uncomfortable.

Ru Jia blushed from what she said. When she looked at Chen Yu once more, she felt a little awkward. Feng Jin Yuan made use of her awkward feeling and added: “This is Princess Ru Jia’s temperament. Eldest princess, do not blame her.”

For some reason, Ru Jia was especially responsive to what Feng Jin Yuan said. She had disdained his daughter, but he turned around and praised her. This made her feel very apologetic. She leaned forward slightly and said to Chen Yu with sincerity: “Eldest young miss Feng, Ru Jia did not do it on purpose. Please do not get angry.”

Feng Chen Yu’s heart was moved. Although she still took offense, she found that the two princesses seemed to be treating the Feng family well. She had some doubts in her mind, but she still followed up and said: “Princess, you must not say such a thing. Chen Yu does not mind.”

At this time, the matriarch joined the conversation, “Chen Yu! Although you suffered a bit of an injury, you really must thank your second sister for being able to bring you back safely.”

The smile that Chen Yu was originally barely able to maintain suddenly vanished, as she suddenly glared towards Feng Yu Heng. Her eyes were like daggers, and she hated that she could not take her life.

Feng Yu Heng laughed at this sight, “Eldest sister, what sort of expression is that? Although sister did speak up for you with imperial concubine Xian, I did not ask for elder sister’s thanks. There is no need for elder sister to be like this.”

The matriarch’s expression sank, as she scolded Chen Yu: “Do you truly not know what’s good for you? You committed such a heavy crime. If it were not for your second sister, based on imperial concubine Xian’s standing in the palace, even if you were beaten to death, who knows what could have happened to our Feng family. Now that you were saved, you don’t know to give thanks. What are you doing glaring at your sister with that sort of gaze?
