Shen shouted loudly and rudely, "Why did you hit me?"

  The old lady was so angry that she trembled with rage, "Shut your mouth!"

  Madam Zhou shook her head and said loudly: "It seems that Lord Feng is very good at guessing the emperor's intentions, but I don't know if it's a correct guess or not."

  Feng Jin Yuan's face turned dark with anger, his disgust towards Shen Shi reaching a boiling point.

  "Madam." Feng Yu Heng took over the conversation, "Ah Heng believes in Father and definitely won't do something that presumes to know the will of heaven. Actually, these are also considered private matters of the Feng manor. Ah Heng's mother had done a great favor for the Feng family many years ago, and my father is someone who values relationships and righteousness, so it seems... this is all Father's personal emotional problem."

  Feng Jin Yuan clenched his fists, why did he hate hearing Feng Yu Huang's words "emphasizing emotions and righteousness" so much? By saying this, wasn't it equivalent to confirming that he had favored his concubine over his wife?

  "Ah Heng is talking nonsense." He reminded him.

  Feng Yu Huang was taken aback, and hastily bowed down, "It's Ah Huang misunderstanding Father. Then... Father is really...?"

  "What's gotten into Father?" Feng Jin Yuan was puzzled, why couldn't he understand what he was saying today?

  "Alright." Madame Zhou interrupted the conversation between the Feng family members, "I'm just here to propose a marriage on behalf of the Royal Highness, as for these private betrothal gifts being received by Miss Feng personally, it's truly something that the Royal Highness has specifically instructed. If you want to talk about rules, then please go discuss with the Royal Highness." She smiled, "But let's put it this way, when has our Royal Highness ever followed rules since childhood?"

  "Your Ladyship, let me continue. When the Prince was three years old, he climbed onto the dragon throne and played with the jade seal for an entire afternoon, eventually breaking off a corner; at nine years old, he kicked to death a fierce horse that had been tribute from a foreign land; at twelve years old, because Concubine Yun was being bullied by Consort Rong, he whipped Consort Rong to death with one lash, and the Emperor only asked if the whip had injured the Princess; on his fifteenth birthday, when the Emperor held a banquet for all officials, the Crown Prince sat in the main seat while the Emperor himself took a lower position. And more recently, three years ago, the sole daughter of the Wang family from Ding'an fell in love with the Crown Prince, and her father personally requested that the Emperor arrange their marriage, but our Crown Prince was displeased and burned down the entire Wang estate; and just yesterday, when the Crown Prince returned to the capital and entered the palace, a soldier from the Imperial Guard stared at his injured leg for a long time, and the Crown Prince raised his whip and killed thirty-one people on the spot. Do you still want to lecture our Crown Prince about etiquette?"

  Shen's face turned white, and Feng Jin Yuan also remembered the rumors he heard this morning about the bloody case in the palace yesterday, saying that the Emperor did not blame the Eunuch King at all.

  The Feng family was sweating profusely as they rushed down, thinking that the Ninth Prince, Your Highness, was not following the rules, this was simply absurd, too absurd.

  Fen Dai's mind immediately conjured up the miserable life of Feng Yu Hong after she got married, and her heart involuntarily calmed down a bit.

  Feng Yu Huan listened and found it interesting, pursing her small mouth and smiling secretly.

  Mrs. Zhou was delighted to see her, and had heard from Bai Ze before coming that she had met this Miss Feng in the deep mountains of the northwest. At first, she didn't quite believe that a young girl like Feng Yu could receive such high praise from the proud and arrogant Bai Ze, but now it seemed that she was not inferior or superior, not sad or happy, with a clear mind and bright eyes. Most importantly, through her words, she had already made it clear that she had a clear boundary with the Feng family. Ah, Mrs. Zhou nodded in her heart, such a girl was worthy of being chosen by the Ninth Prince.

  Madam Shen was frightened by Mrs. Zhou's words, she was just greedy for wealth and not afraid of death. How could she forget that the Ninth Prince was one of the nine princes of the current emperor, the most arrogant, the most unpredictable, and the most favored by the emperor? Who told her that the Ninth Prince would lose favor after breaking his leg? Why did she think that the emperor's silence on the matter of appointing a crown prince meant he no longer favored the Ninth Prince?

  At the same time, Feng Jin Yuan's idea coincided with Shen's, only he thought one more layer - who told him that year that since the emperor demoted the Yao family, his Feng family must also demote the Yao consort?

  The couple thought for a while, on the other hand, Feng Yuexiang felt that this play had not yet reached its climax, and she had to add fuel to the fire.

  She looked down at the box in her hands, a look of difficulty flashed across her face, and she took two steps closer to Madame Zhou, saying cautiously: "Madame, if I give these silver notes to Ah Huang, can Ah Huang dispose of them freely?"

  Mrs. Zhou nodded, "That's natural."

  Feng Yu let out a breath of relief, "That's great, then Ah Huang can use these silver notes to make some better clothes for the relatives in the mansion, and add some good ingredients to the kitchen."

  This morning at Shuya Garden, I saw Feng Yu Heng's determination to make clothes and the crowd nodded in unison.

  Mrs. Zhou was puzzled: "Why do you want to make clothes for everyone?" She looked at Feng Yuexiang's old and ill-fitting outfit again, and Mrs. Zhou's expression turned even more unpleasant.

  "Feng Yu Huan explained: 'To be honest, although my father is the current Left Prime Minister, and our Feng manor looks very impressive, but in reality, we're quite poor. Yesterday, Aunt Yao brought Ah Huan and her brother back to the manor, and Father specifically said that he would arrange for us to be treated according to Aunt's status. However, the clothes sent over to us were either faded or made of rough silk that felt like knife blades, and one of them even had a collar that was scratchy. It was really impossible to wear them. This morning, Ah Huan saw that Mother's first-class maid was also wearing faded clothes... and, well, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the mistress, but my willow garden has already eaten two meals' worth of leftover food from the main kitchen. It seems that the manor's finances are probably already strained to the limit, or else they wouldn't treat us like this. As a daughter of the Feng manor, I have some silver on hand, so naturally, I want to supplement it.'"

  These words slapped Shen's face with a loud slap!

  Your father clearly said to treat her as a sister-in-law and provide for her, but you, the mistress of the house, let her wear that kind of clothing? And also make her eat leftover food?

  The people of Fengfu hung their heads in shame, no matter who Feng Yu Heng was talking about, they all felt ashamed.

  Shen's family didn't think it was a bad thing, but they were worried that Zhou Furen, who even Feng Jin Yuan and the old lady feared, would punish him. If everyone in the Wangfu was as arrogant as the Wangye, wouldn't he be in big trouble?

  However, this time she was overthinking it. Madame Zhou didn't have the leisure to get involved in the messy affairs of the mansion. She had already given her instructions to Feng Jin Yuan earlier. If he were smart, he wouldn't dare make things difficult for Feng Yu Huang and his wife again. The other person simply followed Feng Yu Huang's words and continued, "Miss Feng is truly kind-hearted. Don't worry, the most famous fabric store in Beijing is part of our Royal Wang Estate. Since Miss has spoken, tomorrow I will send someone to take measurements and tailor clothes for each master of the Feng estate. Each person will receive a set of clothes."

  She finished speaking and waved her hand at the eunuch who was holding the wedding certificate.

  The people of Fengfu saw this momentum and collectively trembled. What they feared most at this moment was that Mrs. Zhou would communicate with the eunuch, because every communication inevitably led to a collapse!

  As expected, this time the eunuch did not disappoint everyone. He was heard shouting towards the gate: "Bring it in!"

  Immediately, someone else carried two more boxes into the courtyard.

  "What's this again?"

  Chen Yu quietly sighed beside him and replied in a low voice, "Let's listen first, it shouldn't be as bad as before."

  She guessed it, the last two boxes that moved in were the ones that got slapped the hardest today. Just then, Madame Zhou said sternly: "Since the Feng manor is poor, we, the Imperial Wang Manor, will prepare clothes for our future princess to wear."

  The eunuch followed closely and sang: "His Majesty the Emperor bestowed upon Second Miss Feng four pieces of Guanghan silk, four pieces of Liangren brocade, four pieces of Shu Yunjin, and four pieces of Ruoye gauze. Additionally, he gifted ten pieces of soft smoke gauze to Second Miss for her bed curtains!"

  This time, even An Shi, who was usually calm and didn't participate in the struggles within the mansion, wasn't calm either.

  In the four directions of Dong, Nan, Xi and Bei, each has a vassal state. Although these four states are small, each has a national treasure. These four national treasures are Guang Han silk, Liang Ren brocade, Shui Yun armor, and Ruo Ya gauze.

  It is said that when the four small countries presented their national treasures to Daseong, the concubines in the palace fought fiercely for them, with some even getting hurt. In the end, they could only get one each. This was because these four treasures were extremely rare, and the four small countries could only produce one every three years. Some countries had to save up for ten years before they could barely gather four to present to Daseong.

  But the soft smoke gauze is a treasure that can only be produced once every ten years in the Daxun territory, and yet the imperial palace actually took out ten pieces at once, saying it was just for Feng Yuhuan to use as curtains.

  Feng Chen Yu felt like she was going to vomit blood, if the previous headwear and accessories were still tolerable, but when these five treasures appeared, she really couldn't take it anymore!

  Damn it, she's so jealous she could die! To hell with her engagement, to hell with her three from four, if she could exchange one of them, she would really be willing to let Feng Yuexiang take the position of eldest daughter.

  It's a mother who knows her daughter best, and Shen stood beside her, clearly feeling her daughter's body trembling violently, almost guessing what Feng Ciqiu was thinking in an instant.

  Beautiful fabrics are loved by everyone, let alone the five treasures that are coveted by the palace ladies.

  Shen tightly grasped Feng Cangyu's hand, and whispered into her ear: "Feng Cangyu, think about your future. When you become the empress one day, won't everything be yours?"

  Finally, the four words "Mother's dignity is supreme" pulled back the confused and bewildered mind of Feng Xue, the craziness in her eyes flashed by, and she immediately regained her composure, as if nothing had ever changed.

  Shen's family was finally at ease.

  Always, being the mother of the world has been Feng Chen Yu's faith. Since the three members of the Yao family left the mansion, from Old Lady to Feng Jin Yuan and then Shen Shi, they have instilled in her these four words the most. She knows she was born extremely beautiful, this beauty far surpasses all the women in the capital. So Feng Chen Yu is confident that this faith will not be in vain, being the mother of the world for her is only a matter of time.
