Chen shi let out a loud "ow' scream, and roared without caring what sort of identity the matriarch had: "Why did you hit me?"

The matriarch trembled with anger, "I want you to shut your mouth!"

Lady Zhou just shook her head and called out: "It seems that Master Feng is very good at figuring out the Emperor's ideas, yet it's not clear if he has misunderstood something."

Feng Jin Yuan felt like his head was about to explode. His internal annoyance towards Chen shi reached its maximum.

"Lady." Feng Yu Heng spoke up: "A-Heng trusts father. He most definitely would not misunderstand the Emperor's ideas. Actually, these matters should count as the Feng manor's private matters. A-Heng's current mother provided much needed support to the Feng family many years ago, and my father is a very just and loving person. Thinking of these things... it might be all related to my father's problematic personality."

Feng Jin Yuan's clenched his fists. Why was it that he really hated hearing Feng Yu Heng refer to him as "just and loving?" Wasn't saying this effectively saying that he did replace his wife with his concubine?

"A-Heng cease this nonsense." He reminded her.

Feng Yu Heng was surprised and quickly bowed, "It was A-Heng that misunderstood father. Then... father really misunderstood..."

"When did father have a misunderstanding?" Feng Jin Yuan did not understand various things. How could it be that he understood none of the words being said today?

"Ok." Lady Zhou interrupted the Feng family's conversation, "This old servant only came to deliver the betrothal gifts to the Feng manor. In regards to the personal betrothal gifts, they will be handled by the second young miss of the Feng family. This was specially instructed by his Highness Prince Yu, if the head wife wishes to speak of rules, then please speak directly to his Highness Prince Yu." She smiled, "But thinking about it, from childhood to now, since when has his Highness Prince Yu followed rules?"

Lady Zhou straightened out her body and continued speaking in a clear voice: "The year his Highness was three years old, he climbed on to the throne and played with the jade seal for an entire afternoon, and in the end he broke a foot falling. The year he was nine, with a single kick, he killed a foreigner's tribute hunting horse. When he was twelve, when Concubine Yun was pushed aside by Concubine Chong, he whipped her to death with a single lash, yet the Emperor only asked if he was hurt by the whip. At his fifteenth birthday, the Emperor held a feast with many officials, Prince Yu sat as the host leaving even the Emperor content with sitting on the side. Even more recently, three years ago, the only daughter of the Lord Ding An fell in love with his Highness. Lord Ding An personally requested the Emperor for the marriage, but his Highness was not pleased. He directly set fire to the Ding An palace. Yes, just yesterday, his Highness returned to the capital, there was a commander of the imperial guards who stared at his injured legs. His Highness raised his whip and killed thirty one people. Does this head wife still wish to speak to his Highness Prince Yu about rules?"

Chen shi's face turned white as she listened. Feng Jin Yuan recalled the morning court session and hearing people talk about yesterday's bloody case. Apparently the Emperor did not blame Prince Yu.

The people in Feng family felt cold sweat flow down their bodies. It was not that this ninth prince, his Highness Prince Yu did not follow the rules. He was simply ridiculous, much too ridiculous.

Inside Fen Dai's mind, she immediately envisioned Feng Yu Heng living a miserable life after marrying. She could not help but feel slightly more at peace.

As for Feng Yu Heng felt that this story was interesting, as she smoothed out the small smile on her face.

Lady Zhou saw her appearance and was very happy. Long before she came, she had listened to Bai Ze talk about how he had met the Feng family's second young miss deep in the mountains to the north west. At the outset, she did not fully believe that such a young Feng Yu Heng could receive such high praise from the ever-arrogant Bai Ze. Now, it could be seen that she was neither overbearing nor servile, she did not mourn nor celebrate, and she was able to see and think clearly. Most importantly, having heard her speak a few times, she had made clear the dividing line between her and the Feng manor. Indeed, she nodded to herself internally. Only this type of girl could match up to the ninth prince's many gifts.
