Chapter 627 (1/2)

The faces of the Lu family’s members collapsed after hearing this report. Even Lu Yao never thought that Feng Yu Heng would actually send someone to provide reparations. She angrily said to Lu Song: “Father, that imperial daughter Ji An is clearly humiliating daughter!”

Lu Song hated that he could not slap his daughter to death. He had finally managed to reach the position of left prime minister, but why was the eldest daughter of the first wife so lacking in intelligence? “If she’s humiliating you, that just serves you right!” He pointed at Lu Yao and said: “If you knew what would happen today, why did you allow that servant go and cause trouble at the embroidery store? You went and humiliated her younger sister first. That is an imperial daughter that earned her own position with her military and medical merits. Even the Emperor needs to give her a bit of face, yet you went ahead and humiliated this sort of person’s younger sister. That she did not kill you on the spot is already lucky enough for you. You’ve had your fun!”

After saying this, he flicked his sleeve and said to madam Ge shi: “Come with this prime minister to see the people from the imperial daughter’s manor.”

Ge shi immediately nodded. Right before leaving, she did not forget to glare fiercely at Lu Yao, spitting out: “You really aren’t able to do anything right!”

At this time, Wang Chuan had already been brought into the main hall of the left prime minister’s manor. She was seated in the guest’s spot and sipping tea. To her side, there were a few servants from the imperial daughter’s manor holding the fabric. Although they were normal servants, they all had an abnormal manner. With faint smiles on their faces, it seemed as though they were there to be admired.

Seeing Lu Song and Ge shi come in, Wang Chuan put down her teacup and stood up. Taking a couple steps forward, she bowed: “This servant, Wang Chuan, greets lord prime minister and madam.”

Lu Song could not really say too much to a servant, only saying: “Miss, you’re being too modest.” He then gestured to his own wife.

Ge shi was very smart and quickly went forward to help Wang Chuan stand up. With a smile on her face, she looked to be very kind: “Quickly, please stand. You’re the miss Wang Chuan that stays at imperial daughter’s side, right? You really are quite beautiful.” She looked at Wang Chuan with a sincere expression. At the same time, she shoved something into Wang Chuan’s hand from under her sleeve before letting her go, “Miss, please sit.”

Wang Chuan smiled and calmly held the thing that madam Lu had just placed in her hand. It was a gold ingot that was quite heavy. “Lord prime minister and madam are too modest. This servant came today to bring the Sichuan brocade as reparation for the imperial daughter’s younger sister.” As she said this, she retrieved the brocade from a servant. While showing it, she explained it to the Lu family couple: “We already looked at the Sichuan brocade that had been ruined and found that it was of lower quality. Imperial daughter specifically told this servant to choose six bolts for the second young miss. Aside from making wedding clothes, the remainder can be used to make some clothes that will be worn more frequently. Consider it apologizing for a mistake committed by the Feng family’s third young miss and his Highness the fourth prince.”

At the same moment she mentioned Xiang Rong, she specifically emphasized the fourth prince, Xuan Tian Yi. Sure enough, Lu Song and his wife were scared witless upon hearing mention of the fourth prince. Ge shi quickly asked: “His Highness the fourth prince? Why apologize for a mistake for his Highness?”

Lu Song clenched his fists and gently sighed, correcting: “Even the Feng family’s third young miss is without fault. This matter was initially that Lu Yao’s fault. For imperial daughter to have not punished Lu Yao’s crime is already a grand grace.”

“Right, right, right.” Ge shi quickly changed her tune, “I misspoke. It should be us that went to apologize to imperial daughter.” As she spoke, she anxiously asked: “But his Highness…”

Wang Chuan smiled, “Did the second young miss not talk about it when she came back? Those ducks on the wedding dress were not embroidered by the Feng family’s third young miss. Instead, they were embroidered by his Highness the fourth prince.”

“What?” Lu Song was shocked, “His Highness the fourth prince? Embroidered?” He then faintly recalled a matter. Back then, the fourth prince had been demoted to a commoner and taken into custody, but it seemed as though the Emperor did not punish him any further, only saying: Have him learn embroidery from the Feng family’s third girl. Or something to that effect…

“His Highness the fourth prince was given an imperial order to learn embroidery from the Feng family’s third young miss. Speaking of, he can be considered the third young miss’ apprentice.” Wang Chuan analyzed the setting seriously for the Lu family, “I heard that his Highness usually needs to call the third young miss master whenever he sees her. Upon hearing that his master had been ordered around like a mere embroiderer, he became quite irritated.”

She did not continue to speak. With her touching on these matters, the Lu family should also understand. Just assuming the position of prime minister did not mean that they could offend and boss around anyone that they wished.

Lu Song and Ge shi’s faces were a little pale. Lu Song, who had already sat down in the head seat, stood back up and did not concern himself with his standing. Cupping his hands toward Wang Chuan, he said: “Many thanks for the advice, miss. This prime minister will naturally provide an explanation to the imperial daughter. Would the imperial daughter please feel at ease.”

Wang Chuan nodded. To be able to assume the position of left prime minister after Feng Jin Yuan, he definitely would not be too stupid. It just depended on who he chose to get close to. She did not remain any longer, only saying: “The imperial daughter said that if there is not enough time to make the wedding clothes and have them embroidered, she can have the embroiderers in the palace provide some help.” After saying this, she bowed and left.

The housekeeper of the manor personally sent her out of the manor before returning to report to Lu Song: “Master, she has already gone back.”

Lu Song let out a sigh and waved his hand to dismiss the housekeeper. Only then did he returned to his seat with a look of anger on his face.

Ge shi paced around in the middle of the room a few times before finally stopping; however, she was very puzzled and asked: “Wasn’t it said that imperial daughter Ji An does not get along with the Feng family. Rather, she treats them even worse than enemies? Back then, husband also knew that when Feng Jin Yuan fell from the position of prime minister, part of it was definitely his own doing, but it cannot be unrelated to imperial daughter Ji An. For an imperial daughter that even plots against her own father, how could she help speak up for the Feng family? Also, the report that we received said that in the Feng residence, her younger sisters born from concubines go against her!”

Lu Song suddenly slammed the top of a table and loudly said: “Fool!” He then sighed, “Feng Jin Yuan caused his own demise by committing sins! The daughter of a concubine from the Feng family that fights the imperial daughter, have you forgotten? That report said that it was the fourth daughter that does not get along with the imperial daughter. It did not mention the third daughter.”

“What’s the difference?” Ge shi was puzzled. To her, all daughters of concubines were the same. If she did not get along with the fourth daughter, how could she get along with the third.
