Chapter 322 (1/2)

Seeing his four daughters come forward, it would be nonsense to say that Feng Jin Yuan did not feel proud in this instant. Although he was a little estranged from Feng Yu Heng, that was just a familial matter. How many people on the outside would know about it? To the outsiders, the famous county princess Ji An was his second daughter. The most beautiful girl in the capital, Feng Chen Yu, was his eldest daughter. This was definitely a reason for someone to feel proud.

Moreover, just as the four children walked forward, another person also came forward from the other side. It was none other than Ru Jia, who had entered the manor with Kang Yi.

Feng Jin Yuan felt even more moved. Take a look! Right now, even the princess of a foreign country had to call her father. Looking around the entirety of Da Shun, who else could say that they were able to marry a foreign princess?

With this joy, he helped Kang Yi sit down and prepared to receive his children’s salute.

After it stopped snowing, the sky also began to clear up. Just as the five girls kneeled in unison, a light just happened to shine down. Coincidentally, it illuminated the golden hairpin in Feng Yu Heng’s hair.

Kang Yi felt that it was a little too blinding and subconsciously frowned; however, before Feng Yu Heng’s knees reached the ground, Feng Jin Yuan suddenly shouted: “Stop!”

Everyone froze, including the guests that were getting a new cup of tea, who look towards him. Kang Yi was puzzled and looked at Feng Jin Yuan in confusion; however, she saw Feng Jin Yuan suddenly stand up then almost rush over to stop Feng Yu Heng from kneeling.

At this time, aside from Feng Yu Heng, the other four were already kneeling. Ru Jia saw Feng Jin Yuan stop her and was very puzzled, asking: “Uncle Feng, what are you doing?”

Kang Yi quickly scolded her: “You must call him father.”

Ru Jia also knew that she had misspoken, as she quickly apologized: “It was Ru Jia’s mistake. I hope father will pardon me.”

But Feng Jin Yuan did not have time to worry about her. His attention was entirely focused on the golden hairpin in Feng Yu Heng’s hair. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he was, and the more he looked at it, the more panicked he became.

The phoenix hairpin! She actually wore the phoenix hairpin!

It was fortunate that the sun had come out, and it was fortunate that he had seen this thing; otherwise, if he had Feng Yu Heng kneel while wearing the phoenix hairpin, would he still be permitted to live?

The number of people that recognized the phoenix hairpin was not low, but there were not very many either. For example, of the guests in attendance, aside from the princes, lords, imperial daughters and the government officials, nobody else recognized it. Nobody understood what was going on with Prime minister Feng. Why was he so shocked by the hairpin that his own daughter was wearing?

Ru Jia was even more confused, so she stood up from the ground and looked towards Feng Yu Heng’s head. She was three years older than Feng Yu Heng, so she was naturally a little taller. She immediately got a good look of the golden hairpin, and her eyes could not help but light up, as she quickly said: “Such a beautiful golden hairpin!” While saying this, she reached out to touch it.

Feng Yu Heng looked at her coldly, the corners of her lips curling up into a wicked smile, as she quietly said: “Princess, if you dare to touch this thing, do you believe that your hand will be chopped off?”

“What did you say?” Ru Jia became angry, “Isn’t it just some damn hairpin. It is indeed beautiful, but it is just made of gold. It cannot even compare to something made of jade. What is so mystical about it? So what if this princess touches it?” She did not believe it, so she continued to reach over.

But she heard Kang Yi loudly shout from the other side: “Ru Jia! Stop!”

At practically the same time, Feng Chen Yu also shrieked: “You can’t!”

As for Feng Jin Yuan, he frankly grabbed her wrist and stopped her hand in midair.

Ru Jia became furious!

“Let go! Father, although I am not your own daughter, I am still a princess of Qian Zhou. You cannot do this to me! In front of so many people, you are willing to favor your own daughter. How will you treat me and my mother?”

While she was causing a stir, the matriarch, who had been sitting on the stage, understood the situation clearly, but she did not interject. That Ru Jia was still calling herself the princess of Qian Zhou. She had already entered the Feng manor, yet she still made use of her maternal family’s status. This was an undesirable problem. Could it be that the Feng manor would need to make offerings to her?

“Hmph!” The matriarch snorted clearly and said to granny Zhao: “A-Heng has done well. Although a foreign princess is of the first rank, when coming to Da Shun, it is comparable to the status of a second rank county princess. This is called making an initial show of force. This will make her know that this is the Feng manor. It is not their Qian Zhou.”

With Ru Jia causing a ruckus, Kang Yi also came forward. Taking Ru Jia’s hand from Feng Jin Yuan’s hand, she gently scolded her: “Don’t speak nonsense. There are many rules in Da Shun. Where is there any room for you to speak up!”

Ru Jia was dissatisfied and said: “Father is being biased!”

“When has your father even been biased?” She was also extremely vexed, “Whenever you have wanted something he has given it to you. Hasn’t he done everything for you!”

Ru Jia glared at her, “Then if I said that I wanted this golden hairpin? Would father give it to me?”
