The first mistress looked at Prime Minister Feng with a complex expression. The unwillingness and resentment in her eyes were almost bursting out.
"That girl Feng Yunshu is simply humiliating me. If even you, Prime Minister, insist on this, I might as well just die! At least I can preserve my innocent reputation and won't be so humiliated like this!"
Saying so, the first mistress eyed a beam in the nearby room, lifted her skirt and rushed towards it in a few steps to bang her head against it. Prime Minister Feng suddenly widened his eyes and rushed up to hold her back.
"Madam, what are you doing?! Don't do anything stupid!"
"Prime Minister, let go of me! It's better for me to die than to kneel down and kowtow!"
While they were in a heated moment, Feng Yunshu stood aside, silently watching their "sad drama" and couldn't help yawning.
Did this first mistress even know what humiliation was? It was really laughable. When she was humiliating others, did she ever think about this question?
"Have you made up your minds? Give me a straight answer. My lord is still in a coma in the room. I still have to rush back to take care of him. Don't waste each other's time."
Feng Yunshu raised her eyebrows playfully, yawned lazily and glanced casually at the two people in intense emotions. At this moment, it seemed as if she was just a spectator here.
Seeing her unhurried manner and hearing her indifferent tone, the first mistress was filled with anger. A suffocating feeling suddenly welled up in her chest. "Pfft -"
The first mistress suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick blood, closed her eyes and fainted from anger.
After Prime Minister Feng caught her, he immediately called the maids. "Quickly send the first mistress to the room! Immediately invite the imperial physician!"
A group of people hurriedly carried the first mistress to the room. The open space in the firewood shed suddenly fell silent.
Prime Minister Feng frowned and looked at Feng Yunshu. "Yunshu, do you really think I can't see? This matter is so strange. Most likely you and the king have long had a pre - meditated plan. Well, I warn you, if it weren't for the fact that you have the blood of the Feng family in you, I would never let this matter go easily today."
"Now, because of your scheme, the Feng family has been in such a mess. Are you satisfied now?!"
After hearing this, Feng Yunshu touched the big gold bracelet on her wrist and smiled at Prime Minister Feng.
"Father, what are you talking about? As a daughter with the surname Feng, of course I don't want the Feng family to be in such a mess. I'm just avenging the wrongs and repaying the hatred."
"You, how could you become so temperamental? Since your birth, you've caused your mother's death. Now do you still want to harm others in the Feng family? If you still have a bit of conscience, immediately leave the Feng family with King Helan!"
Prime Minister Feng scolded Feng Yunshu bitterly, looking like a strict father, which made Feng Yunshu feel nauseous.
"Father, don't you know how the first mistress and Feng Manshu have been treating me harshly and bullying me since I was a child? Before I got married, my health was getting worse day by day. Obviously, I was poisoned, but you ignored it and even forced me to get on the bridal sedan. You ask if I have a conscience. Well, I'd like to ask, do you have a conscience, Father?"
Seeing that Prime Minister Feng was about to say something, Feng Yunshu was too lazy to waste words with him. Her face turned cold and her tone became icy.
"I don't want to waste words. Since the first mistress can't kneel down as I proposed just now, I'll change my request. The Feng family is wealthy and powerful, and I'm the legitimate daughter. I want you, Father, to write a deed stating that if one day you suddenly encounter an accident or die of old age, half of the property of the prime minister's mansion will be under my name."
"You, you unfilial thing! You're clearly cursing me! How dare you be so rebellious! You'll surely be punished by heaven!"
Prime Minister Feng was so angry that steam seemed to be coming out of his head. He raised his hand to slap Feng Yunshu, but his hand hung in the air and didn't fall.
Feng Yunshu had already prepared to dodge, but she felt a sudden gust of wind behind her, and then a tall figure appeared.
Helan Yanting reached out from beside Feng Yunshu and firmly caught Prime Minister Feng's raised palm.
Prime Minister Feng tried to break free with a dark face but was held so tightly that he couldn't help grimacing in pain.
"King Helan, what are you doing?! You'll break my old bones!"
Helan Yanting looked at Prime Minister Feng expressionlessly and said coldly, "The princess is this king's person. If Prime Minister wants to discipline her, why don't you ask this king first if I agree?"
Saying so, Helan Yanting casually shook off Prime Minister Feng's hand. Prime Minister Feng held his wrist in pain and rubbed it. He also felt strange. Wasn't King Helan a sickly person? Where did he get so much strength?
And what was that killing aura just now?
Prime Minister Feng suddenly looked up in doubt, wanting to take another look, but then he heard Helan Yanting coughing continuously, "Cough cough cough cough..."
The coughing sound seemed to come from his lungs, which made people worried. And his tall figure trembled constantly while coughing, as if he was about to fall to the ground the next second.
While coughing, Helan Yanting looked at Feng Yunshu eagerly. "Madam, are you okay? Why are you crying? Has someone bullied you?! This is simply outrageous!"
Saying so, Helan Yanting raised his sleeve and stepped forward to wipe the tears from Feng Yunshu's face.
Only then did Feng Yunshu realize that she had actually shed tears just now.
Presumably, it was the residual emotions of the original owner that made her shed tears in excitement when confronting Prime Minister Feng.
It was understandable. Anyone who had such an irresponsible, heartless and cold - blooded father would probably feel sad.
Feng Yunshu stared blankly at Helan Yanting with a worried face in front of her and couldn't come back to her senses for a while.
"Your Highness, why did you come? You're already weak and poisoned. The doctor said you need to take your medicine on time to get better. You should rest more!"
Seeing that his face was still a bit pale, Feng Yunshu supported him worriedly.
"This king is fine. I'm just worried that you'll be wronged, Madam."
Saying so, Helan Yanting looked at Prime Minister Feng. "Prime Minister Feng, you must give this king and this king's princess an explanation for today's matter. Otherwise, if this matter gets out, it won't look good on you, Prime Minister."
"King Helan, this..."
Feng Yunshu looked at Prime Minister Feng indifferently. "This matter is not difficult to handle. If Father nods to the request I made just now, this matter will be settled privately, and we'll all save some energy."
Under the strong alliance of Helan Yanting and Feng Yunshu, those two "stubborn" couple, Prime Minister Feng was finally outnumbered and was forced to nod in agreement.
Then, Prime Minister Feng ordered someone to fetch the four treasures of the study and had to write his will for Feng Yunshu. After finishing writing, the writing brush in Prime Minister Feng's hand was directly broken.
"What about the 200,000 taels of gold?"
Such an important thing, Feng Yunshu naturally couldn't forget.
Prime Minister Feng gritted his teeth,强忍 his anger, and asked the accountant below to prepare a huge - denomination banknote. "Take this banknote to the Tianxia Bank and you can withdraw the gold at any time."
Feng Yunshu happily stuffed the banknote carefully into her purse. "Since the matter is resolved and it's getting late, Your Highness, let's go back to the mansion. I really want to eat the osmanthus cakes made by the kitchen today!"
Helan Yanting looked at the sly - looking woman in front of him, couldn't help smiling faintly and subconsciously reached out to scratch the tip of her upturned nose. "Let's go, greedy cat. There'll be plenty when we get back to the mansion."
"Hehe, this concubine knows that Your Highness is the best to this concubine!"
