Chapter 332 (1/2)
Feng Yu Heng’s elegant eyebrows were brought together.
Jin Zhen was seated on the ground, having absolutely no understanding of what the master and servant were talking about. At this very moment, her mind was recalling how Feng Yu Heng had said “Me not killing you personally is already quite good.”
She began to have a breakdown. In this manor, there were only two people that could give her stability in her life. One was Feng Jin Yuan and one was Feng Yu Heng. Unfortunately, she originally had both of them in her hands, but because of a lapse in judgement, she had lost Feng Yu Heng. And because of Kang Yi’s sudden arrival, she had lost Feng Jin Yuan.
She feared Han shi’s child being born. She was already the only concubine in the manor without a child. If Han shi gave birth to a son, her tragic fate was just a matter of time.
“No!” Her voice trembled. When she looked at Feng Yu Heng once more, she saw that she only paid attention to her conversation with Wang Chuan, completely ignoring her. Jin Zhen became anxious and crawled forward a few steps, hugging Feng Yu Heng’s leg, crying: “Second young miss, I will do anything you tell me to do. I just beg second young miss to save me this once. In the future, Jin Zhen will not dare to do anything ever again!”
Huang Quan grabbed her collar and pulled her away, saying with disgust: “After daring to use his Highness the ninth prince, you actually beg second young miss to help you. Has your mind become completely worthless?”
“No!” Jin Zhen shouted loudly: “I did not use his Highness the ninth prince. I wanted to place the blame on the new madam!”
Feng Yu Heng’s eyes became sharp. When she looked at Jin Zhen once more, it had a bit of agitation, saying: “If you dared to take responsibility, I might have been able to help you this once, but you are clearly taking me to be a fool right now!” Both her voice and expression were stern, as she looked at Jin Zhen as though she was a dead person.
Jin Zhen was in total despair. Letting go of Feng Yu Heng’s leg, she stood up and retreated while swaying.
Second young miss has already spoken resolutely and would not help her. But she still did not want to die…
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked straight at Feng Yu Heng and said: “We had originally worked together. At that time, for the sake of helping second young miss get rid of Chen shi, I got rid of the child in my belly. Second young miss does not fear me going to the elder madam and reporting this matter?”
Feng Yu Heng laughed in contempt, “Go ahead. Not to mention if they would believe you or not, even if they did, Chen shi is a dead person. Do you feel that the Feng family would come and investigate this county princess? Moreover, you should have a better understanding of who that child belonged to than I.”
“Hahahaha!” Jin Zhen began cackling as though she had gone mad, “Who the child belonged to? Of course, it belonged to my husband. I know that second young miss still has my other shoe, but so what? It has already been over half a year. What can a single shoe do to me? As long as I resolutely say that the child belongs to husband, and it was second young miss that threatened me to abort it to harm Chen shi. If the second young miss deliberately tried to harm the Feng family’s child, I fear that husband and the elder madam will not let you off easily.”
“Oh.” Feng Yu Heng nodded and turned away. She no longer wanted to talk to Jin Zhen. Jin Zhen believed that Feng Yu Heng was scared of this threat, and she wanted to give her another push to try and have the second young miss change her mind. However, she did not expect Feng Yu Heng to say to Huang Quan: “Go to the stable and call over the person that is in charge of feeding our horses.”
Huang Quan complied and left. When she returned, a young man roughly 20 years of age followed her in.
At first, Jin Zhen did not understand why a person in charge of feeding horses would be called in, but when she saw this person, her mind immediately exploded. All of the blood in her body began to boil, causing her to feel extremely shocked. That was how unbelievable the situation was.
Why was it him?
That person came forward and paid respects to Feng Yu Heng. He then heard Feng Yu Heng coldly ask: “The person at your side, do you remember them?”
That person turned his head and looked at Jin Zhen. The corners of his lips curled into a wicked smile, “Replying to second young miss, I do. She is a first-rate maidservant to the Feng family’s former head wife, Jin Zhen.”
Jin Zhen was already scared witless, as she began to have difficulties breathing. Finally managing to sort out her breathing with great difficulty, she immediately rushed to shout: “Li Zhu? Why is it you? Why are you here?”
This was the person that Feng Yu Heng had discovered by accident to be in a private relationship with Jin Zhen, Li Zhu. At this time, seeing Jin Zhen’s frightened expression, he could not help but feel joy- “Then where do you think I should be? Huh? Concubine mother Jin Zhen!”
“Yo-you…” Jin Zhen repeated the word you for a long time before realizing that at the time Feng Jin Yuan had suddenly taken her in, Li Zu seemed to have disappeared without ever resurfacing. She originally believed that he was deathly afraid of Feng Jin Yuan, thus he had run far away; however, she did not think that he would actually be in Tong Sheng pavilion! “Second young miss!” She dropped to her knees once more, “I was wrong. I recognize my mistakes. I deserve to die. I beg second young miss to spare my life!” Jin Zhen kneeled on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed, crying desperately.
Feng Yu Heng shook her head in disappointment, “I don’t want your life, so pardoning is not up for discussion. Originally, based on my temper and disposition, you using his Highness the ninth prince is already a grave sin. I have plenty of reason to kill you. But since you did prove useful in dealing with Chen shi’s matter, we are now even. From this moment forward, neither of us owes the other, and there shall be no relation between us. Jin Zhen, whether you live or die, it will depend on your fortune. As long as you don’t extend your hands over to my side, from this day forward, I will not appear in front of you. Alright, you can go.”
She waved her hand wearily, and Huang Quan immediately went forward to forcefully drag Jin Zhen from the room. At the same time, she warned her: “If you continue to shout and scream, I fear that everyone will know that you’ve come here.”
Jin Zhen quickly shut her mouth in fear, as Huang Quan ordered two servants to send her back to the Feng manor. Only then did she return to the room.
Li Zhu was still kneeling in the room. Seeing Jin Zhen once more caused him to feel a little emotional, but in the end, he had taken care of the horses in Tong Sheng pavilion for a long time. He knew that the second young miss was a person with outstanding abilities. When it came to this sort of person, as long as they flicked a finger, they could easily take his life. That was why he knew that he had no other choice than to work diligently. If his master needed him to make an appearance, he would. Normally, he would not even leave Tong Sheng pavilion.
Huang Quan glanced at Li Zhu then asked Feng Yu Heng: “Should this servant send him back?”
Feng Yu Heng nodded then said to Li Zhu: “Go back for now. Work diligently. As long as you don’t make any big mistakes, this county princess will not treat you poorly.”
This was a point that Li Zhu believed. Second young miss Feng was generous, unlike other masters. Here, there were clear differences between reward and punishment. As long as one worked diligently, the pay received would be a great deal higher than anywhere else, so he was happy to work here.
