Man Xi glanced at Baotang and said helplessly: "It's not that I was scared by the second lady, but that I was scared by His Royal Highness. You have never been out of the yard. I don't know. After dinner and have free time, I will go outside to inquire. Look at how many people in our mansion can not be scared by the Royal Mansion."

After she said this, Baotang no longer doubted that she had not had a full meal since she called Liuyuan. Seeing these delicious food, Baotang's saliva was about to flow out, but she was still thinking about how to report to the eldest lady what happened in Liuyuan today. Although the eldest lady handed over the task to Mama Li, since she was also sent here, she certainly had this obligation. The master could not ask, but she didn't say it was her wrong.

In the afternoon, Yao coaxed Zi Rui to sleep, and Huang Quan followed Madam Sun in the yard to count and organize the betrothal gifts.

Feng Yuheng was sleepy when he didn't sleep all night last night. He wanted to sniff her, but he was about to lie down when he saw Wangchuan walking into the house and gently spoke to her: "Second Miss, the third aunt in the mansion is here with the third lady."

When Feng Yuheng and Yao came out to greet him, An and Feng Xiangrong had been sent into the outer hall of the main room by Madam Sun.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Yao and An was harmonious. When An came in close proximity to Shen, she was really bullied by Shen. But An was not a person who likes to fight, and if he can tolerate it, he would tolerate it. Fortunately, Shen was just a concubine at the beginning, and with Yao, the mistress, on top of her family, she didn't dare to do too much.

Seeing Feng Yuheng and Yao coming into the house, An quickly got up with Xiangrong. An bowed to Yao and called "Sister". When he looked up again, his eyes turned red.

Yao also sighed several times, holding An's hand for a long time and couldn't speak.

Feng Yuheng was most reluctant to see such crying scenes, so he advised Yao: "Let Aunt An and her third sister sit down, as there will be more time to talk in the future."

Only then did An come to his senses, twisted his body and bowed to Feng Yuheng, "I've seen the second lady."

She quickly supported the person: "Auntie, don't do this, there are not so many rules here. You are an elder, so you don't have to salute the younger generation."

An smiled bitterly, "I am a concubine, so how can I afford to be an elder? The second lady is too proud of me. Logically speaking, in front of the second lady, I should call myself a slave."

"My aunt, don't do this." Feng Yuheng waved his hand to stop him and signaled the two to sit down.

Madam Sun had already brewed tea and brought it to her. The fragrance of tea instantly soaked the whole room. She couldn't help but exclaim: "What kind of tea is this? It smells so good!"

An smiled with a pursed lips, "It must be a good thing given by His Highness the Emperor of the Imperial Palace. There is no such good tea in our mansion."

Feng Yuheng shrugged, "Even if there is, it's not the people in Liuyuan who drink it."

An sighed lightly, "To be honest, the Feng family has done too much. But Miss Second has just returned home, so why don't shed too many enemies?"

Feng Yuheng knew that An was also for her good, so he nodded and thanked An, but shook his head and said, "Since we knocked on the Feng family's door, the enemy has come one after another, so how could he provoke it on purpose?"

An also agreed with this point, "You are not in the mansion over the years, so Shen has already replaced the original old man in the mansion almost. Even Madam Sun has sent her to the outer courtyard for more than two years to do rough work. It was not until the news that the ninth prince was about to return to Beijing that he sent him to pick you up."

Yao felt sorry for Madam Sun and felt uncomfortable again.

Feng Yuheng didn't want to talk about these sentimental things anymore, so he got up and returned to the inner room. He had already moved a few jewelry boxes to her boudoir. She opened one of them, picked a pair of peach blossom earrings and took them into her hand. When she returned to the outer hall, she stuffed the object to Xiangrong: "The second sister just returned home, and there was no good thing on her. Fortunately, the Royal Palace sent some here today, so let's serve as a gift for the third sister!"

I was stunned by the pair of earrings. The pink and tender colors carved two exquisite peach blossoms. I don’t know what the material was, but it looks like jade, but it doesn’t seem like jade. She couldn’t say it, and she just felt that everything I saw before was not as good as this one.

The little girl opened her mouth and stared blankly. After a while, she exclaimed: "So beautiful!"

An also came over and was shocked after seeing it, "Silly girl, why are you still standing there? Thank you for your second sister! This is a pink crystal that is hard to find in the world!"

There was not a large amount of crystal mining in this era, but the preciousness of crystals is recognized by the royal nobles. Currently, there are the most common white crystals, followed by yellow crystals, pink crystals and amethysts. I am afraid that there will be no few pieces in the entire royal family, let alone craftsmen who can use crystals as carvings. Those who really have master-level figures dare to use such materials.

When Xiangrong heard it was Crystal or Pink Crystal, he immediately understood the preciousness of this thing. He quickly saluted Feng Yuheng solemnly: "I love thanks to the second sister."

Feng Yuheng smiled and helped the girl up and patted her arm: "Sisters don't need to worship like this. Don't worry, I said before that I would give you a veil, so of course you won't be missing. When I use those cloths to cut clothes, I will leave more, and secretly make a pair of embroidered shoes for Xiangrong to keep them for you to wear when you get married, okay?"

Before Xiangrong could react, An was excited first, "Miss Second Miss!" Even if he was calm, he didn't know what to say at this moment. In the main courtyard, Feng Yuheng said that he would leave a treasure for Xiangrong and Fandai to make a veil, which was already something that everyone in Dashun envied. If Rong wanted to wear a pair of embroidered shoes made of five treasures when she got married, no matter what kind of family she wanted to marry, she would have to give her husband a high look.

"Aunt An doesn't have to do this." Feng Yuheng smiled faintly, "Although Aheng has been away from the house for many years, he still remembers some childhood events. When his mother was pregnant with Zi Rui that year, Shen secretly replaced the precious medicinal materials in the supplement. Aunt An told the old lady after seeing it, so that her mother could get the supplement smoothly. Aheng holds a grudge, but she will not be ungrateful."

An sighed again, but she didn't expect that the actions of that year would be rewarded like this today. She was a concubine, and she didn't want anything, and all her hopes were placed on Xiangrong's child. But a illegitimate daughter would either marry the legitimate son of a wealthy family as a concubine or marry the legitimate son as a family's official wife, and she could not compare with the legitimate daughter in any case. She thought that her identity could not match others. At least she had a shop for her parents' dowry, and she saved more silver over the years to add makeup to Xiangrong in the future. But no matter how much silver, how could she be as good as the embroidered shoes made of five treasures that Feng Yuheng promised!

"Thank you, Miss Second." An was sincerely grateful. Suddenly he thought of something, and quickly turned around and asked Yao: "Have you been to Baicaotang after returning to Beijing?"

Yao was stunned and shook her head: "No. After returning to Beijing, I went directly to the mansion and hadn't been out yet."

"That sister would better take time to check it out. When I went out to take care of the shop a few days ago, I saw the shopkeeper of Baicaotang seemed to have changed."

Yao frowned, "Is Bo Tian no longer here?"

An nodded: "I went in and walked around, but I didn't see anyone. The shopkeeper is a young man."

Seeing Feng Yuheng's confusion, Yao explained to her: "The Baicaotang in Beijing was the dowry shop given by my parents when I married into the Feng family. You were young at that time and didn't care much about these things. And..." Yao shook his head helplessly, "It was my dowry, but since I got married into the Feng family, I have no choice but to speak."

An continued to say the following words for her: "It's not just that I don't have a say. If I remember correctly, my sister said before that the shop where the Yao family dowry was taken away by the old lady on the day you just passed the door?"

"Yeah." Yao nodded, "On the day after the door, everything was carried to the old lady. When I sent it back to my yard the next day, the land deeds of those shops were missing. I went to the old lady to ask, and she said that since she married into Feng Mansion, these would be kept by Gongzhong, and she also said that the Feng family would not treat me badly."

Feng Yuheng laughed, "Don't you believe me?"

"What if I don't believe it?"

"Yes!" An answered, "With his wife married into the house, she will be from her husband's family."

"Has the Feng family ever given the profit of that shop to their mother?"

Yao shook his head, "I haven't given it, I just said that I have been losing money, and the Feng family has also paid a lot of money."

Feng Yuheng thought about An's previous words and asked again: "I heard from my aunt that she went out to take care of the shop, but my aunt's own?"

An nodded, "Yes, my mother's family also brought two shops here, but my shop is incomparable to the Yao family. The Feng family can't stand it, so they stayed."

"Aunt An, is this practice the system of our Dashun Dynasty?"

An shook his head, "There is no such system? Not only is there not. Dashun also allows married women to take care of the dowry shop by themselves. The woman asked to go out to take care of the shop, and the in-laws should not stop her for no reason."

"That means, the Feng family is fighting against the imperial system?" She gave the Feng family such a hat without hesitation.

An clasped her lips and said nothing. How could she not know what the Feng family is like after so many years?

Feng Yuheng comforted Yao: "Don't worry, mom, it's ours, I'll have to pay it back sooner or later."

An also agreed with this, "Today, I saw that the Royal Palace was not like a show, and I really wanted to support the second lady. I believe that with the Royal Palace, there will be no one to beat you up." Then I changed my words, "I wanted to let myself run over and go back to tell me about the situation here. I originally prepared some scattered silver, and I thought I would send it to you today, no matter how much it is, at least I could respond to the urgent situation. I didn't expect that before I could give it to you, the Royal Palace would take the lead." An said, while taking out a small silver bag from my sleeve, "I have no shame to take it out compared to what the Royal Palace gave. But I thought, the Royal Palace gave me all the silver notes. Your courtyard is going to get some scattered silver again recently, so I can't avoid giving it to the servants, so I will use it first!"
