Chapter 625 (2/2)
It would have been better if he did not speak. Since he did, Feng Jin Yuan’s anger finally had a place to be vented. Picking up a teacup from his table, he threw it at He Zhong! He Zhong did not dare to dodge and was hit on the forehead.
“Scram!” Feng Jin Yuan was furious, his face pale white.
Seeing that Feng Jin Yuan was so angry, Xiang Rong wanted to kneel and admit her mistake to gloss over the matter; however, she was stopped by Feng Yu Heng. She very helplessly said to Feng Jin Yuan: “At first, I thought that after going out to battle for a year, I would give the Feng family some fruit and some banknotes. Who knew that father would show so little growth.” She was breathing a little heavily from the anger, as she pulled Xiang Rong to the front and said to Feng Jin Yuan: “Take a look, this is your daughter and our Feng family’s third young miss. Regardless of whether she is the daughter of a concubine or the first wife, she is still from a noble family. As a result, she was ordered around by some shoddy prime minister’s manor’s young miss as though she was an embroiderer. They even threatened to close down concubine mother An’s embroidery shop if she did not accept the job. Father, you just watched on as your daughter was bullied to such a degree?”
With her exploding like this, Feng Jin Yuan also became spirited, standing up suddenly and shouting: “What do you think is the Feng residence’s current situation? That is the second young miss of the prime minister’s manor. What right does the Feng family have to protect its daughter? With just a stomp of her foot, she can have us all killed!” As he spoke, he glared at Xiang Rong: “You overestimated your abilities! Them using you as an embroiderer means that they think highly of you, but who do you think you are? Do you still think that you are the third young miss of the prime minister’s manor?” These words also carried the resentment that he felt for the new prime minister.
Feng Yu Heng also understood the misery in his heart, but that was the reality of the situation. He committed sins on his own and must not live. Feng Jin Yuan, if you are regretting it now, what were you doing back then?
But that matter was that. In regards to Xiang Rong being bullied, Feng Yu Heng felt that this father was still too incompetent. She was puzzled and asked Feng Jin Yuan: “Are you saying that the Feng family is currently nothing? The young miss of a lowly prime minister’s manor can kill us all with a stomp of her foot? Father, oh father, where has your ability from back then to make use of my name and swindle others gone? Why is it at a time like this that you don’t know how to make use of me, the dignified imperial daughter with all kinds of military merits and the dignified future Princess Yu? Instead, you just watched your daughter suffer bullying on the steps of your own home. You still had the face to remain seated inside? You might not have any status, but don’t go losing face for this imperial daughter! If you can’t protect your own daughter’s life, I will take her away! A shoddy left prime minister’s manor ran over to the Feng residence’s entrance to throw their weight around, and you should have called someone to kick them across the street. Tell everyone that came to investigate that they don’t have this right!”
Once Feng Yu Heng’s words were said, Feng Jin Yuan was truly speechless. Standing there in a daze, he did not even dare to breathe. It was as though he did not recover mentally. He could not understand why this second daughter that had never wanted anything to do with the Feng family suddenly wanted to concern herself with the Feng family’s affairs.
He had not yet recovered, but Fen Dai had something to say. She snorted coldly and said: “That’s right, you only have your third sister in your heart. You have always treated her well, but what about me? Upon coming in, you slapped me twice. Feng Yu Heng, don’t forget that I am also the future Princess Li. When it comes to face, I cannot compare to you, it is not much worse than her left prime minister’s manor. Why do we not care? Isn’t it because that wedding dress belongs to someone that will be marrying into the Yao manor! If it was any other family, this grandaunty would have left her searching for her teeth on the ground!”
Her voice was shrill, and this shout sounded a little bit weird. Feng Yu Heng just could not understand, “Hasn’t she still not married? What kinship could she claim with the Yao family? You didn’t dare before, right? Then I will tell you now that if that left prime minister’s manor comes knocking again, just kick them out. There’s no need to give anyone face! I just don’t believe that in the few months that this imperial daughter left the capital, the entire capital has gone to hell?”
Feng Yu Heng had also become infuriated. Lu Yao bullying Xiang Rong had made her angry, and this sort of woman was actually marrying into the Yao family. She had also clearly captured her eldest cousin’s heart. This was what truly caused her to become infuriated. She also had a belly full of anger and had no place to vent it. It just happened that the Feng family picked up on this matter, thus she frankly told Feng Jin Yuan: “When it comes to borrowing a bit of power, father needs to know how to make a proper judgment. You’re also someone that has been a prime minister. I don’t believe that you don’t even have this bit of judgment ability. If you really can’t protect your family, just tell me. I will come.”
In an unprecedented first, Feng Jin Yuan did not continue to argue with Feng Yu Heng. He was even happy to accept this sort of lecture, nodding and sitting back down in his seat. Letting out a long sigh, he said: “It’s good that you are willing to act for the Feng family without forgetting that the Feng family raised you.”
Feng Yu Heng rolled her eyes. She hated hearing this the most, “Only until the age of nine, but the grace of raising me has already been completely worn out by you.”
The father and daughter had fallen out long ago. At this point, she no longer hesitated to say this sort of thing, causing Feng Jin Yuan’s face to turn bright red.
She pulled Xiang Rong over and sat down at Fen Dai’s side. Fen Dai looked at her and said with dissatisfaction: “You still know to come back? Do you still think of this as your family? I thought that you didn’t know what integrity meant and already moved into the Yu Palace to live with the ninth prince.”
Feng Jin Yuan’s expression sank and was a little unhappy with Fen Dai’s words; however, he did not say anything. Presently, the Feng family was indebted to the fifth prince. Fen Dai was the Feng family’s insurance!
Feng Yu Heng did not want to argue with the girl, thus she turned and said to Wang Chuan: “Remember those words. Head over to the Yu Palace later and tell them to his Highness the ninth prince, word for word. As for the final judgment, I’ll leave it to his Highness to come up with an idea!”
Fen Dai’s face immediately turned pale. Even Feng Jin Yuan became anxious, quickly saying: “A-Heng, for a matter between sisters, how can his Highness the ninth prince be brought in?”
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, “It was fourth sister that brought it up. Father, ask her.”
Fen Dai was stuffed. With a swollen face, she did not know how to reply…
