Feng Yu Huan thought that since the Ding An Wang family had no shame, she didn't need to give them face either. She wasn't afraid of Feng Jin Yuan standing idly by, after all this was no longer just a personal attack on her but a provocation from the Ding An Wang Fu against the Feng family. As the esteemed Prime Minister, how could he possibly ignore it?

  Her departure was equivalent to drawing a very imperfect full stop for the birthday banquet of Princess Ding'an. No one had the heart to listen to music and watch dance anymore, people came forward to bid farewell to Princess Ding'an, a quick-witted woman laughed and said: "Today's trip really didn't come in vain, not only did we hear Miss Feng play the piano for the dancer, but also stumbled upon the beautiful affair of the Qingyue County Master.

  Someone immediately echoed with a toast: "Once the county lord's happy event is settled, Princess Wang mustn't forget to invite us for a cup of celebratory wine."

  "Get out! All of you get out!"

  Her scolding didn't matter, but the people who were originally silent also became unhappy. They said: "Leave then leave! In the future, please invite us and we won't come either! See how many people can be invited to Ding An Wang Fu's birthday banquet next year. Don't even think about getting the owner of the baozi shop to let his wife and daughter come and make a scene! Hmph!"

  As the cold hum sounded, people quickly dispersed, and the male guest also bid farewell to King Ding'an with a bow. In the blink of an eye, this vast rear hall was left with only King Ding'an's family and a few slaves.

  Ding An Wang looked at the messy room and felt a blackness in front of his eyes, as if a great momentum had already passed.

  He looked at his wife and daughter beside him, especially when he saw the miserable appearance of Shang Qing Le, he couldn't help but kick her again.

  Qing Le was kicked in the abdomen by Ding An Wang until he vomited blood.

  The Princess of Ding'an was also blinded, seeing that King Ding'an had really gotten angry, and she didn't even dare to cry out loud.

  "Scoundrel!" King Ding An pointed directly at Qing Le, "You're just a scoundrel who's come to collect debts!"

  Phoenix Mansion

  In the main hall of Shuya Garden, Feng Chenyu was now lying in the old lady's arms, wailing loudly, while Feng Jinyuan sat beside her, sighing incessantly.

  Feng Yu Huan and Xiang Rong sat opposite him, Xiang Rong was a bit afraid, lowering her head and not daring to look at her father.

  "Grandmother, Father, you must do something about this!" Sun Yu cried as she poured out the humiliation she suffered at the Ding An Wang Fu. "Sun Yu has been practicing her piano skills for many years, what was it all for? Father had also said before that Sun Yu's piano skills could not be easily revealed to others, they were meant to be kept for... But today, right in the Ding An Wang Fu, my second sister forced me to accompany a group of dancing girls. Father, I feel so wronged!"

  Chen Yu had never cried so sorrowfully before, it felt like she was going to die, gasping for breath, and she always thought that the next moment she would faint.

  The old lady pitied her and kept helping her straighten her back, but Shen Yu cried even more fiercely.

  Feng Jin Yuan slammed his hand on the table and glared at Feng Yu Huang: "What exactly are you trying to do?"

  Feng Yu frowned and asked her father in great puzzlement: "Father, what do you mean by this?"

  Feng Jin Yuan couldn't bear to see her pretending to be innocent, and said viciously: "Since you came back, our house has been in an uproar. I'm asking you today, what do you want to do? If you want to avenge being kicked out of the house three years ago, why take it out on your elder sister instead of me?"

  "Second sister, in the past you were the legitimate daughter, I loved and respected you. Even though you left the capital later, that was not my concern, why do you want to harm me like this?"

  Feng Yu Huan gazed at the father-daughter duo, her heart rising with annoyance. She put down the teacup in her hand and stared straight at Feng Jin Yuan, not speaking for a long time. Just as Feng Jin Yuan was about to ask another question due to being stared at uncomfortably, she finally spoke up in a low tone: "Although this matter is laughable, I still need to remind Father that Ah Huan is not someone without temper. Three years ago, you let things go as they pleased, but three years later, if you still want to continue with no distinction between right and wrong, then you must give me a reasonable explanation." She turned her head and looked at Feng Chen Yu sharply: "I dare ask, elder sister, what do you mean by saying I forced you to play the zither for Wu Ji? I'd like to ask, did Father ever say that a concubine's daughter cannot steal the spotlight from the legitimate daughter?"

  The old lady took over the conversation, "It's true that there was such a saying, but this is not considered a big deal for a dancing girl to play the zither."

  Phoenix Feather nodded, "Grandmother is right, Ah Huang also thinks so, and had a heated debate with Princess Ding'an about this matter. Anyone present can prove it. But Princess Ding'an insisted that the dancers in her mansion were not ordinary people, but were raised like young ladies. She said that the daughter of the Phoenix family could accompany the dancers in the palace to play the zither, which was a great honor. Ah Huang was sent to the mountains at the age of nine and didn't know that there had been such changes in the capital. Princess Ding'an spoke with conviction, and I couldn't help but believe her."

  Feng Jin Yuan stabilized her emotions and asked Xian Yu: "Is it true that Princess Ding An was like what Ah Huang said, did she really say those words?"

  Chen Yu was stunned, and reluctantly nodded. She couldn't deny it, this was something that dozens of ladies had heard with their own ears, and Feng Jin Yuan could easily find out with just a casual inquiry.

  "Hmph!" The old lady was furious, "A mere foreign surname king's household, how dare you utter such big words?"

  "Feng Yu Huan continued: 'Not only that. It seems Father and Grandmother haven't heard about what happened later. That Qing Le County Mistress was having a private meeting with a man in the back hall, but they were caught by everyone. When they went in, Qing Le County Mistress was in the same bathtub as the man, her clothes not even covering her body. The man wasn't even wearing any clothes! And yet, Qing Le County Mistress actually accused me of having a private meeting with someone, saying she had gone in to catch me.'"

  "What?" Feng Jiyuan was also excited this time, "Do they think that our Feng manor is just for show?"

  "Is that all?" Feng Yu Heng said, barely passing the test. "It's a good thing not only the female guests witnessed it, but also the male guests. The Seventh Prince said he would report to the Emperor to grant marriage between Qing Le County Master and that man, but Qing Le County Master begged Ding An Wang to go tell the Emperor that she didn't want to marry that man, she wanted to marry the Crown Prince, and still be the official wife."

  "What a big tone!" The old lady was so angry that she trembled with rage, "The royal princess is our family's Ahuang, how could it be that foreign surname county lord's daughter!"

  "It seems that the meaning of the letter from the Wang Fu is to ask our family, the Feng family, to cancel the engagement with the Imperial Family!" Feng Yu Huang let out a soft sigh and said helplessly: "After all, they are the Wang Fu, didn't they also go through the Emperor to arrange a marriage for them back then despite knowing that Ah Huang was already engaged to the Ninth Prince?"

  Feng Yu Huan managed to shift the opposing side's target from herself to the Ding An Wang Fu.

  Chen Yu's eyes stared at her father and grandmother as the accusations against Feng Yu Heng turned into a condemnation of the Ding An Wang Fu, and she couldn't help but let out another sob, pitifully calling out: "Father."

  Feng Yu Huan didn't wait for her father to speak, and immediately asked: "Father, how can a king without real power dare to bully the daughter of the current Grand Councilor like this? By comparing the Feng family's daughter to a slave in the Wang Manor, is the Ding An Wang Manor putting the current first-class official in that position? Please, father, take charge for us sisters!"

  Feng Jin nodded and advised Chen Yu: "Don't worry, I've taken note of this account for Father. That Ding'an Wangfu, my Feng family is at odds with them!"

  The fish sank, wanting to say that I didn't let you remember the hatred of Ding'an Wangfu, but rather the hatred of Feng Yuhuang! However, it's not possible to say this after all. Since her father had already determined that it was Ding'an Wangfu's fault, if she continued to point the spearhead at Feng Yuhuang, it would inevitably create a situation where she and her sister were not on good terms. She couldn't make a bad impression in front of her father, so she could only lower her head, humbly say "en" once, and then take advantage of Feng Jin's distraction to glare fiercely at Feng Yuhuang.

  The old lady felt that the mood of the fish in her arms was not right, and when she lowered her head, she happened to see her fierce gaze, which made her heart tremble.

  Feng Yu Huan is not a good person, this is something that everyone knows. Moreover, Feng Yu Huan never had the intention of pretending to be virtuous, whoever makes her unhappy or whoever offends her, she usually retaliates on the spot and doesn't drag things out.

  Feng Chen Yu has always had a gentle face, and in the past, she thought that this granddaughter was the best-tempered and kindest. Only someone with such a compassionate heart would be suitable to be the mother of a nation. But now, it turns out that Feng Chen Yu is not as obedient and likable as she imagined, and behind her back, she may have a ruthless mind similar to Feng Wu Huang's.

  The old lady felt a bit worried, she wasn't afraid of being overly cautious, but if she was destined to walk the path of being a virtuous mother in the future, how could she be too kind? What she feared was that Shen Yu's heart wasn't just cautious, but rather like Shen Shi's malicious and unscrupulous thoughts. If it were really so, then perhaps she wouldn't be the hope of the Feng family, but instead would become a scourge to them!

  Today's events made Feng Yuanyuan return to Songyuan with a deep thought. Feng Yuheng's words reminded him that how could an alien king without real power dare not put the Feng family in his eyes? In short, it was because the Feng family did not have a clear backer. Although Feng Yuheng had a marriage contract with the Imperial King, all the good things he did were directly aimed at Feng Yuheng personally, and he never gave any face to the Feng family. Those who understood the truth knew that the Imperial King's residence was not fond of the Feng family, let alone when the Feng family had nothing to do with it, even if they had something in the future, it would be good if they didn't kick them while they were down, and they couldn't count on getting any help.

  He felt it was time to make a decision about some things.

  "Feng Jin Yuan's low voice called out a sentence, and immediately a servant outside pushed the door to come in, 'Prepare the carriage.'"

  The young servant was taken aback. It was already the second watch of the night, and yet he still had to go out? He didn't dare ask any more questions, so he just replied and went to prepare the carriage.

  After the little servant retreated, Feng Jin Yuan called out in a low voice again: "Dark Guard."

  Suddenly a figure appeared and stood in the study.

  "Did you find out about the Third Prince's movements when I sent you to investigate last time?"

  An Wei nodded, "The third prince had contact with Right Chancellor Feng five days ago, but Chancellor Feng didn't see him. Two days later, Chancellor Feng defected to the second prince. Moreover, the third prince has long been secretly planning to raise troops and has recruited soldiers in outer provinces several times. According to reliable information, he now has an army of over 30,000."

  Feng Jin Yuan nodded, "Very good, he's a man of courage."

  "Are you going to the Crown Prince's Xiang Wang Fu?"

  Feng Jin Yuan nodded, "It's time to take a trip over there. My Feng family can't escape this battle for the throne no matter what. If we don't show our attitude soon, I'm afraid... it will be too late!"

  An Wei said no more and flashed out of sight into thin air.

  Feng Jin Yuan slipped out of the mansion that night and quietly entered the Xiang Wang Fu of the Third Prince.
