Feng Yu's voice was cold and stern as he sent a single, sharp hum over, opening his mouth to say severely: "So you're saying that others should just let you deceive and cheat them?"

  The shopkeeper trembled with fear and didn't dare say another word.

  Feng Jin finally understood and summed it up in one sentence: The fat pig in his backyard had brought trouble to the Feng family again, and it was a big trouble!

  "Shrew!" The old lady was so angry that she almost spat out blood, and while continuously pounding the ground with her cane, she ordered her servants: "Go bring that shrew to me! Bring her out!"

  Feng Jin Yuan didn't stop him, this ninth prince's attitude was clearly here to settle the score, today is Feng Fu's fault, no matter how they want him to endure, let alone...

  "Your Highness just said that the 'Green Mountain Painting' is to be given to Concubine Yun?" He was shocked in his heart, thinking that if it were really sent into the palace, things would get out of hand.

  At this moment, Feng Jin Yuan really hoped to see the Ninth Prince shake his head and say that it hadn't been sent in yet. However, some things just couldn't go as he wished. Xuan Tian Meng not only didn't shake his head but also told him very affirmatively: "It was sent in on the same day. The Empress Dowager discovered that the 'Qing Shan Tu' was a fake and questioned me why I had given her a fake painting. Feng, you tell me how I should respond to the Empress Dowager?"

  Feng Jin Yuan could say nothing, Yun Fei had been living a secluded life for many years, and she rarely attended imperial banquets. But this didn't mean that the Emperor was neglecting her, nor did it mean that she had no status in the palace.

  Feng Jin Yuan immediately knelt down on the ground in his long gown - "I await Your Majesty's punishment."

  The others also followed and all knelt down together.

  Feng Yu Huan thought for a moment and decided she couldn't be too proud, so she knelt down as well.

  Just as he was about to kneel, his hand was tightly grasped by that person, "You don't have to kneel."

  Feng Yuhe was very satisfied with Xuan Tianming's attitude and nodded in approval.

  Feng Pian Dai's jealousy was burning fiercely in her chest. Why wasn't it her? Why wasn't it her hand that the Ninth Prince held?

  Soon, Shen was invited out by someone.

  Shen Shi, who had been confined in the Golden Jade Courtyard for a long time, suddenly flew into a great rage today. A group of people suddenly broke in and said they were going to search her and Chen Yu's room, saying that they were plotting against Young Master. She beat two maids, but still couldn't stop the servants from finding the voodoo doll under Chen Yu's pillow.

  She was so angry that she wanted to smash something, but then thought that smashing anything would be a waste, and just as she was feeling stifled, someone came to invite her to the front yard.

  The Shen family finally has a place to vent, the Feng family dared to lock her up, she must make this family chaotic! She wants to see how long Feng Jiyuan can last without the financial support of the Shen family.

  Shen Shi arrived at the front yard with a strong momentum, only to see a group of people kneeling on the ground, including Feng Jin Yuan.

  In front of everyone, a jade sedan chair was placed in the middle of the courtyard. On it sat a person she had never seen before but could recognize at a glance - the Ninth Prince.

  Shen was a bit unsteady and leaned on the servant girl beside him, his eyes shifted and he was shocked to see that the owner of Qibaozhai was also lying on the ground.

  She realized that things were likely to go badly, but at this point she couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to kneel down as well. Her teeth chattered as she didn't know what to say, but in her heart, she was involuntarily calculating how much money a large piece of jade would cost.

  Feng Jin Yuan stood up and walked to Shen Shi's front, grabbed her collar, originally thinking of lifting her up and throwing her out. However, Shen Shi was too heavy, he tried lifting several times but couldn't budge her, so he had no choice but to drag her instead.

  Shen was unable to withstand this, on one hand loudly wailing, on the other desperately using his hands to pull at his collar to prevent being strangled.

  Finally, Feng Jin Yuan dragged Shen Shi in front of Xuan Tian Ming, then knelt down on the ground and said: "I await your orders, Your Highness."

  "What's going on?" Shen asked, bewildered, "Me? Why would I be dealt with?"

  "Shut up!" Feng Jin Yuan scolded Shen Shi: "You swapped the items in Qí Bǎo Zhāi, and then sold them as genuine to others. Now, a 'Green Mountain Painting' has been sent to Yun Fei's palace, what do you think should be done with you?"

  "Ah...!" Shen's eyes widened in surprise. How did the things from Qibaozhai end up in the palace? She had thought that the nobles in the palace would look down on goods sold by small shops outside!

  "Come on!" Xuan Tian Ming didn't bother to waste another word with Shen Shi, and simply gestured to his men: "Take him away. Follow me into the palace."

  "Your Highness!" This "Your Highness" was spoken in unison by Feng Jin Yuan and the old lady, then the old lady continued: "Please, Your Highness, show mercy and spare her this once. The losses you have suffered, my Feng family is willing to compensate double."

  Feng Jin Yuan also said: "This kind of evil woman is likely to tarnish the eyes of Yun Fei Niang Niang, and I hope that Your Highness can handle it outside the palace."

  Can't let Shen's family enter the palace, Feng Jin knew that once Shen's family entered the palace, she would no longer be able to keep her position as the mistress of the house. Whether she can keep it or not is not important, the key is Feng Chenyu, without the status of the eldest daughter, how can she respond to the phrase "Phoenix fate"? Therefore, he would rather have Xuan Tianming kill Shen's family outside the palace than let Shen's family be brought into the palace, at least in name, Feng Chenyu is still a bereaved daughter.

  As soon as the old lady mentioned compensation, Shen's family immediately regained their energy and hastily said: "Right, right! We'll compensate, we'll fully compensate! Your Highness, how much silver do you want? Name a price!"

  Bang!

  Xuantian Ming suddenly and without warning lashed out with his whip, striking Shen's right cheek. The whip landed squarely on his face, instantly splitting the skin and splattering blood everywhere.

  "Ah!" Shen cried out, covering her face and rolling around on the ground in pain.

  Chen Yu rushed up and hugged Shen Shi, unwilling to raise her stunning face, and begged bitterly: "Please, Your Highness, forgive my mother!"

  Xuantian Ming didn't even glance at Feng Chenyu, but instead turned his head to talk to Feng Yuhuan: "You must eat well, think of what you want to eat and let the maid go to the Wang Fu to fetch it. I'll have the kitchen prepare delicious food for you every day."

  Feng Yu Huan helplessly said: "I'm eating quite well."

  "Too thin." He sniffled, glanced at Shen Shi and said, "No wonder, she ate all the delicious food obviously." Before Feng Yuexiang could respond, he asked another question: "Are you going out today?"

  Feng Yu nodded, "Since Qí Bǎo Zhāi has encountered trouble and now it's back in my hands, I should go take a look."

  "Alright." Xuan Tian Ming didn't stop her, "Then you be careful yourself." He stretched out his hand and rubbed her head again, praising: "Your hair is really smooth, you must take good care of it."

  Feng Jin's temple started jumping again with a throbbing pain.

  "It's settled." Xuan Tian Ming finally nodded to his men to lift up his sedan chair again, "Take the Madam of the Feng family aboard and head to the palace." Seeing Feng Jiyuan still pleading, he turned stern, "Lord Feng, does this king look like an easy person to talk to?"

  Feng Jin Yuan didn't dare make another sound.

  "Oh, right." Xuan Tian Ming suddenly remembered something, "Yesterday on the street, I met Heng Heng and heard that she was checking the account books of several shops. This king couldn't bear to let the future queen work too hard, so today he brought the steward from the mansion over to help Heng Heng check together."

  Feng Jin Yuan is collapsing infinitely!

  The housekeeper of the Royal Palace! Who doesn't know that the housekeeper in the Royal Palace is actually a eunuch?! And not just any ordinary eunuch! He's someone who has been serving the current Emperor since childhood, growing up together until the Ninth Prince established his own palace and was bestowed by the Emperor to serve the Ninth Prince!

  Although he is a prime minister, he has also seen the eunuch's eyes for many years. Now thinking about it still makes him feel uneasy.

  But he couldn't refuse because they said it was to help the future queen with things and he had no grounds for refusal.

  Xuantian Ming left like this, under the chaotic gaze of the people in Fengfu, with Shen Shi who had been tied up and gagged, leaving with a parting glance at Feng Chenyu, saying: "Really ugly."

  The people of Fengfu were even more chaotic.

  Until Xuan Tian Ming had walked for more than half a day, the group of people still hadn't thought to get up and were still kneeling on the spot.

  The eunuch who stayed behind had already taken over the food box for Feng Yu Heng and was holding it in his hand. At this time, he glanced at the group of people kneeling in front of him, his face unchanged and breathing normally, and said naturally: "All of you may rise!"

  The eunuch's unique tone and tune came out, and everyone naturally listened obediently.

  The youngest, Feng Zi Rui, quietly tugged at Yao Shi's hem and asked in a low voice, "That prince likes sister, right? He treats sister differently from others."

  Ms. Yao nodded, "Right."

  Zi Rui's face lit up: "That's great, with that prince being so formidable, no one will dare to bully my sister again."

  Yao sighed, how could it be possible? She was afraid that the more this happened, the more people would see her Ah Huang as a thorn in their eyes and a stab in their flesh.

  But anyway, being able to see the Ninth Prince's attitude towards Ah Huang with her own eyes, she was also relieved, and all she hoped for was that this prince would be able to protect her Ah Huang for a lifetime.

  Feng Jin approached the eunuch and bowed his hands: "Eunuch Zhang, it's been many years since we last met. How is your health?"

  The eunuch replied calmly and confidently: "Don't worry, Lord Laofeng, everything is fine here."

  "Please come in, sir. This is your first time at Feng Manor. Tonight, we've prepared a banquet to welcome you."

  "Ah!" Zhang Gonggong waved his hand, "There's no need for that. Our family is here to assist the future princess in auditing the accounts on behalf of Prince Wangye, so let's go and attend to the princess instead."

  The old lady was unhappy when she heard this. One mouthful of Wang Fei, Feng Yuexian hadn't even married yet, why not call her Second Miss?

  She was unwilling to return, and she didn't dare to show anything in front of this eunuch. The scene of Shen's departure was still vivid in her mind, and she had to think carefully about what the Feng family would do next.

  Seeing Zhang Gonggong refuse, Feng Jin Yuan also did not insist, only warning Feng Yu Huang: "Don't neglect Zhang Gonggong."

  Feng Yu nodded: "Don't worry, Father." Then she turned to the old lady and said: "Ah Huang will go to Qibaozhai later, I'll say goodbye to Grandmother first."

  The old lady couldn't help but be pleased, not only was she accurate, but also very happy. So she hurriedly put a smile on her face and said kindly: "Go ahead, go ahead, remember to count everything inside carefully."

  "Got it." Feng Yuhan said: "The things that have been replaced, Ah Huang will count them out one by one. In addition, the counterfeit goods that have been sold in recent years will also be counted as much as possible. At that time, I hope Grandmother can help Ah Huang and Mother to get an explanation."

  The old lady nodded awkwardly, "Okay."

  Feng Yu Huan bowed her head and called for Yao Shi and Zi Rui, then took the maid and Zhang Gonggong back to Tong Sheng Xuan together.

  Feng Jin Yuan watched as the group of people gradually walked away, feeling a mix of emotions. It wasn't long ago that those people were his legitimate wife and children.

  The old lady also sighed and said helplessly: "The Feng family is going to be ruined by the Shen family!"
