Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Finally Beginning to Envy Feng Yu Heng

Hearing Ge shi mention the bird nests, Lu Song did not immediately refute it. Instead, he stood in place and furrowed his brows in thought. It was clear that he had also suspected the bird nests in Lu Yan’s poisoning. But those things were sent by the Empress. Even if he had some suspicions, he did not dare rashly reach a conclusion.

He said to Ge shi: “Have some doctors come in. Remember, either pick ones that are honest and know the details or the type that are unfamiliar with the capital. The doctors that the other manors use, not a single one can be brought. Do you understand?”

Ge shi nodded, “Husband, don’t worry. This concubine knows how this should be handled. But in the end, is the problem really related to those bird nests? That was something sent by the Empress, and the Empress has no enmity with us. Why would she want to harm Yan’er?”

Lu Song snorted coldly, “What enmity or lack thereof? When the masters of the palace act, when have they ever been reasonable? The Empress has never paid any mind to such idle matters. If it really was her that did it, it was definitely in collaboration with someone. Perhaps she might be doing it for someone else, and that someone else is who we should be thinking carefully about.”

“She is the Empress. What sort of person could make her move?” Ge shi was even more puzzled but rushed to say: “Could it be that Imperial Daughter Ji An?”

Lu Song shook his head, “It wouldn’t be her. This engagement could be said to have been caused by Imperial Daughter Ji An. She could not slap her own face. Forget it, stop guessing. Go and investigate first. Once a result has been found, we’ll talk then.” Lu Song did not want to continue guessing. The Lu family and the eighth prince suddenly becoming engaged was something that had left him feeling uneasy. It continued to make him feel as if it was not realistic, and as the steps continued until this moment, which day was not spent on tenterhooks? He feared that something would suddenly go wrong. Now that the new year was about to arrive, just as the Emperor was about to sanction the marriage, as long as the marriage was sanctioned, it would be a done deal; however, who knew that at this critical moment, something really did go wrong.

On the 30th, the imperial daughter’s manor was a bit quiet. Although the servants had decorated the manor with lanterns and streamers to give it a festive look, there were only two masters. Feng Yu Heng was also someone that did not like liveliness, and even Feng Zi Rui was no longer as lively as before. For the celebration of this new year, aside from eating dumplings, it was no different from a normal day.

Wang Chuan advised Feng Yu Heng: “The manor prepared some fireworks. How about young miss brings young master to light some fireworks!” After saying this, she said to Zi Rui: “Young master, let’s go set off some fireworks, alright?”

Wang Chuan had already done her best to lift their spirits, but Zi Rui did not seem to have been affected by her spirit in the slightest, as he just shook his head and expressed that he was not interested.

Huang Quan had brought the little white tiger over. Zi Rui did indeed like it, but he was only willing to hold it in his embrace and had no intention of playing with it. In addition to this, the little white tiger was a lazy one. Laying in Zi Rui’s embrace, it just closed its eyes and slept, which made Huang Quan so angry that she hated that she could not slap it.

Feng Yu Heng saw that the two maidservants were trying to make them happy and could not bear to see it, thus she finally spoke up: “There’s no need for you to do this. I feel that the current situation is also quite good. There’s no need to cause a stir to celebrate the new year. Quietly staying up to see in the new year and enjoying a peaceful new year is also quite fortunate.”

Zi Rui also said: “That’s right. Back in the Feng manor, there were many people, but not many were wholehearted. Even just eating at the same table could cause some sort of trouble. Not a single year was peaceful. I also feel that the current situation is pretty good. As long as I have elder sister at my side, I am satisfied.”

Wang Chuan thought a bit then said: “I wonder if His Highness the ninth prince will be coming later. If His Highness comes, it will be far more entertaining.”

Feng Yu Heng smiled and told her: “He won’t come. I already spoke with him. This year is the last year before I get married, so we will be celebrating on our own. Moreover, the Yu Palace has him as the only master. If he comes out, the servants will no longer have their pillar of support, and they too will feel bored. Either way, I will be going into the palace tomorrow to participate in the palace banquet, and we will naturally meet.” While she spoke, she reached out to pat the little white tiger in Zi Rui’s lap and asked Zi Rui: “Zi Rui is a good child. Elder sister knows that you want for things to be lively. Speaking that way is simply to make sure elder sister doesn’t feel sad.”

Zi Rui shook his head, “No, I really quite like this current situation. It’s just… It’s just…” He fiddled with his fingers, “It’s just that I miss third sister a little. Also, Zi Rui really wanted to go and be with grandfather’s family. Sixth brother said that he would give me a treasured sword after the new year, and I wonder if that will still happen.”

Hearing the child bring up the Yao family, Feng Yu Heng also felt a bit bitter. It was for no other person than for Yao Xian, her own grandfather. If it was not for the earlier things, she would have been able to celebrate the new year with her grandfather. How happy a situation would that have been! But after thinking a bit, the “reconciliation” with the Yao family was just around the corner. Perhaps in a few more days, they would be back on good terms with the Yao family. To meet at that time would not be too late. Thus she said to Zi Rui: “Don’t rush, after a bit more time, elder sister will bring you to grandfather’s family to pay a new year’s visit.”

Wang Chuan and Huang Quan heard this and knew that their young miss had made up her mind to reconcile with the Yao family, and they could not help but begin smiling. The group began smiling, and the atmosphere of celebrating a new year was finally found.

The imperial daughter’s manor had become joyous, but the Feng residence’s atmosphere was like something out of the underworld!

Feng Fen Dai rushed into the courtyard that had belonged to Feng Jin Yuan and smashed all of his things, even the bed that Feng Jin Yuan had been sleeping in was chopped up with an axe from the kitchen. Because she had been smashing things, her hands ended up quite haggard, and her maidservant, Dong Ying, was anxious to the point of crying. She repeatedly tried to stop her but could only advise from the back: “Young Miss, stop smashing things. Stop chopping things up. Ruining things is fine, but your hands are quite valuable! You need to go into the palace tomorrow for the banquet. If your hands are covered in injuries, His Highness the fifth prince would die from the distress.”

However, Feng Fen Dai was presently incapable of worrying about such things. She was someone that had always been easy to anger, and her anger could never be reined in. If it did not get vented out, perhaps other problems might arise! What hand injuries; what fifth prince’s distress? These were all things that had long been cast to the back of her mind. She only knew that if she did not completely destroy Feng Jin Yuan’s courtyard, she would die from the irritation or from anger. Not to mention destroying some items, but if she did not scare away the courtyard’s servants, she would definitely have slaughtered all of the servants that usually took care of Feng Jin Yuan.

Watching Fen Dai cut her way from the inside to the yard, not a single blade of grass nor piece of wood was spared. Dong Ying also knew that any advice would be pointless. She could only quietly stand to the side and stand next to housekeeper He Zhong. She did not say another word.

Finally, Feng Fen Dai’s axe landed on a large tree in the yard. She had used a bit too much force, and she could no longer pull the axe out. She could only give up on it. She had also become tired and no longer had the energy to muck about. Her body swayed, and she was about to fall. Fortunately, Dong Ying moved quickly and supported her. Fen Dai leaned against Dong Ying and repeatedly muttered: “Go and get a torch. Simply burn this courtyard. Either way, the deed belongs to Feng Jin Yuan. It’s impossible for us to retrieve it. It would be better to just burn it down with fire.”

“Young miss, don’t say anything silly.” Dong Ying helplessly advised, “Even if it is to be burned, it needs to wait until after we have moved out. Fire is without emotion. To say that just this one courtyard will be burned, but who can guarantee that the fire would not spread to elsewhere? At present, the manor does not have many servants. If something really did happen, there would not be enough people to put out the fire. This idea must not be put in action!”

Feng Fen Dai was also just saying it for the sake of saying it. For her to truly set the residence on fire, she was a bit reluctant. But she could not just give up on the idea, and she could not help but raise her hand and point at the room that she had ruined and say: “Bastard! He is just a bastard! Don’t assume that if His Highness the fifth prince did not tell me, I would not know! Right now, he, Feng Jin Yuan, and that slut Yao shi leaving is no longer a secret. Hasn’t that bastard just gone to the South? Haven’t those two become an improper couple, and they even got a fake daughter. They want to go there to live an illicit life there. That Feng Jin Yuan is just the worst. His crown jewels are already gone, yet he still wants to daydream! It would be best if he died on his way there and got eaten by wild dogs. Later on, I would definitely have that wild dog taken care of and raised to give thanks for helping get rid of a pest.”

Feng Fen Dai was like this. Once she got angry, she was able to say any manner of disgusting and vile thing, and the servants could not stop her. Either way, this was her own manor, and she was in the middle of being furious. They just let her carry on cursing. Moreover, Feng Jin Yuan’s actions were something that even the servants of the residence felt were shameful. He Zhong even felt that Fen Dai cursing him like this was light. If it was up to him, he would have been chasing him to the South. Once that person was caught, he would definitely be cut into a million pieces; otherwise, this hatred could not be resolved.

Fen Dai grew tired from cursing and had Dong Ying supported her to sit on the stone chair in the yard. Having cursed Feng Jin Yuan enough, she slapped the stone table and cursed An shi: “That one is also lacking in female virtues. Is she still part of the Feng family! Instead, she brought Feng Xiang Rong, that little slut, and moved out of the residence! What does she think the Feng family is? Is it a place that can be entered and left that easily?”

Dong Ying quickly advised her: “Young Miss, don’t keep being angry. The new year is not a good time to be angry! Concubine Mother An and them moving out is good. This servant inquired about it, and they moved to the embroidery shop, and they are living in the backyard of the shop. Young Miss, even master doesn’t want this residence, so let’s not worry about it. Hasn’t His Highness the fifth prince prepared a new residence for you? After the new year, we should prepare to get moving. With the Feng family in its current state, don’t stay sentimentally attached to it. Just be like the second young miss and live your own life. Isn’t that also quite good? In the future, you will be the Li Palace’s official princess. It’s not worth ruining your health over this hopeless family.”

Everyone had given up hope on the Feng family, and the servants did not advise Fen Dai to remain. They just thought that everyone dispersing would be best. Just like Feng Yu Heng, living in her own residence to live her life. In the future, nobody would be able to control anyone. Perhaps life would slowly get better.

This time, Fen Dai listened to the advice and nodded. With tears in her eyes, she began to envy Feng Yu Heng and understand Feng Yu Heng. If she could foresee Feng Jin Yuan as being such a shameless and irresponsible father, she would have copied Feng Yu Heng long ago. She would have left the residence on her own and stayed as far away from this family as possible.

“Tidy things up. Pack up anything that can be taken away from this residence. Once the new year comes, we will move out, and we will no longer have any relation with the Feng family!”
