The Shen Mansion's garden was bustling with noise and excitement.
On the stage, the title of the Golden Ranking was being shown. The voice of the performer was melodious and melodious, causing one to involuntarily sink into the drama.
Madam Feng wasn't like Old Lady Shen, who only greeted the various madams and had to deal with sudden incidents from time to time. With so many people, there was no confusion. If it wasn't for the kitchen asking for instructions, or things being asked for instructions, Madam Feng wished she could split herself in half.
It was with great difficulty that the Feng family was able to endure until they had finished eating their lunch.
Most of the people who had come today had already arrived yesterday, so they only came to show their respect again. After lunch, they all rested. The rest were the relatives and friends of the Shen family who just arrived today.
Madam Feng returned to Jia Xin Yuan and sat down to drink tea. She hadn't seen her daughter for a long time. When she asked the mandarin plum, she found out that her daughter had gone straight to Mu Xi Yuan. This was because she disliked interacting with her cousins from the same sect the most.
If one were to describe those people, it would be saying that they were ruined, intrepid and rude. Madam Feng knew that her daughter had already been scammed by these cousins for a lot of jewelry and clothes. Since they were from the same family of the Shen family, she couldn't say much.
"Forget it, let her hide. Leaving her Third Uncle to meet with guests in the outer court, there's no need to worry about her being naughty and causing trouble."
The mandarin plum responded as she turned around to have the little girl wrap up a few pastries and send them to Mu Xi Yuan.
The Feng family was the only one left in the room. She sat on the chair and began to lose herself in thought again. Her mind was filled with the figure of a young man.
As she thought of this, her eyes turned red, and tears started streaming down her face.
The moment she stepped out of the door, she saw her master was grieving. This really gave her a fright. She quickly went to get the handkerchief and wiped her eyes. "Madam? What's the matter with you? Who made you sad! "
Could it be that the old master had angered the madame again?!
The image that did not exist appeared in Xin Mei's mind, making her extremely angry.
It was only after she entered that the Feng family realized they had leaked their emotions. They hurriedly gathered their wits and forced out a smile.
"I'm fine, how could anyone dare to be angry with me?"
But Xin Mei didn't believe him. She believed that he was just enduring it and feeling very pained in his heart.
But Lady Feng didn't want to say anything, so she had no choice but to help her clean her face in the inner room and dress her face again.
"Madam, you'd better take a short rest. There won't be any urgent matters left to attend to. If anything happens, this servant will wake you up again. "
Madam Feng had almost not slept last night. At this moment, her mind was indeed weak. She thought for a moment, her body was her own, it was time for her to rest.
Who knew that they would have to go down there? A steward frantically ran over to ask for an audience.
Listening to the request for an audience, even core Mei wanted to give the steward a kick.
He didn't come early, he didn't come late, and yet, he came at this time!
She snappily lifted the curtain to let someone in. The supervisor's heart trembled when he saw that she was frowning.
Is Madam in a bad mood?
But thinking of the urgency of the matter, the steward summoned up his courage and entered the room. Madam Feng had already returned to the hall and was sitting down. When he saw the manager, he asked, "What's the matter?"
The manager saluted and said anxiously, "Madam, something happened." Why are all the members of the troupe having stomachs? They're rolling in pain. "
Did the troupe have a bad stomach?
This matter had attracted Lady Feng's attention. She immediately stood up, "What's going on, isn't it the food provided by the big kitchen? How could there be an accident?! "
The steward didn't know why, but the food the troupe ate was the same as what they ate, and no one in the mansion had such a symptom.
"Did you manage to win?" Madam Feng asked again.
The steward had already sent someone to escort him back.
Madam Feng had just woken up in a hurry and wanted to take a look at the situation. However, before she could leave, she felt a wave of dizziness. She held on to the table.
"Are you all right, ma'am?"
Madam Feng paused for a moment, her voice weak as she said, "It's nothing. Let's go, we have to go take a look."
Saying so, he let the manager lead the way towards the temporarily settled location of the theater.
"Have you checked everything out?"
A tall man was holding a piece of paper in his hand. Due to the force of the paper, it was wrinkled to the point that he could vaguely make out the words' Feng '.
Beside him stood a youth with sword-like eyebrows and a pair of peach blossom eyes that couldn't conceal his excitement.
This young man was the same young man who had rushed back to the capital from the Shen Mansion last night, Zhou Jiayu.
He said, "Father, I'm afraid it can't be wrong!"
He was too excited to calm down, so he began to pace back and forth in the room.
"The time of birth cannot be faked, this is absolutely correct." As Zhou Jiayu spoke, he suddenly paused. "But why didn't mother come back to look for father?!"
When the man heard this, he clenched the paper into a fist.
He closed his eyes. His heart ached as if someone had stabbed his heart when he found out that his wife was pregnant.
Why didn't you contact him? Why didn't you come back?
He also wanted to know why!
After Zhou Jiayu finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong. His father's expression was exceptionally ugly. A man who had never shown off his abilities was now showing an expression of both injury and disbelief.
Zhou Jiayu pursed his lips as the chaotic scene from the past replayed in his mind.
Nine years ago, her mother got pregnant with great difficulty and went with him to the Great Phase Temple to fulfill his wish. She did not want to meet with an assassination along the way.
Those people wanted his life, as well as her mother's. His mother made a prompt decision, and almost all of her guards protected him. However, she only had ten or so guards by her side to lure away a large number of assassins.
Afterwards, he was escorted back to the capital, but his mother was nowhere to be seen.
His father searched the mountain bitterly, only to find the corpse of his mother's personal maid as well as the corpses of those guards. The whereabouts of his mother were unknown.
His father didn't see his mother's corpse. He firmly believed that she was still alive. Perhaps she didn't dare to face the news of her wife's death and treated her whereabouts as her only hope. All these years, he had never given up on searching. To the outside world, his father only said that his wife was pregnant and had been nourishing her body elsewhere.
Because of this, his grandmother had quarreled with his father many times. Once, he had his father announce that Madam Feng had died, and for the sake of the Zhou family's prosperity, he had married her again. His father had actually cut the table into two in front of his grandmother.
From then on, no one dared to bring up these things, and his mother became the taboo of the family.
Zhou Jiayu thought back to the past. He thought about how his mother had protected him, and his eyes became misty.
"Father!" He said hoarsely, "Mother must have something that's hard to say. According to the investigation, Mother has always lived alone in the Shen family. "The concubines surnamed Shen flocked together, often letting one of them bully mother …"
"I know your mother better than you do!"
The man interrupted with a suppressed voice, "No matter what, we can't let them stay outside!"
The man turned around quickly, and Zhou Jiayu heard him instructing some men to move in.
"Hurry up and catch up!"
The man's voice was heard again. Zhou Jiayu was startled, and a joyous expression flashed across his eyes as he answered.
The doors of the Marquis' Mansion were wide open as hundreds of guards rushed out to protect the father-son duo as they left the capital in a grand manner.
The huge commotion caused the people to stop and watch.
Was the Marquis of Wuan's son going to train?
While the Marquis of Wuan's father and son were making a ruckus, another extremely expensive family in the capital was also making a move. However, compared to the Marquis of Wu An and his son, that man with the dignified appearance was extremely low-key. He wore a cloak and left the capital quietly without a single follower.
