Chapter 489
Unable to Reach a Tacit Agreement and Unable to Get Intimate
Xiang Rong said this, and Feng Yu Heng felt that this was a little unexpected . She did not understand what this girl was thinking . Moreover, Xuan Tian Hua was someone that shook every girl’s heart! If she had not met Xuan Tian Ming first…
Forget it, Feng Yu Heng shook her head . She did not want to think about what she may or may not have; however, she asked Xiang Rong: “Not to mention whether or not you can, second sister will ask you, why do you say you won’t?”
In regards to this matter, Xiang Rong had thought about it . Although she became a little bit flustered when thinking about this after being asked, she recovered very quickly and told Feng Yu Heng: “Because I am unable to develop as much of an understanding as second sister has with his Highness the seventh prince, and I am unable to become as intimate as second sister is with his Highness the ninth prince . I thought long and hard and did not even know where he and I would have any similarities . Even if we were forcefully pushed together, I would still only view him as a deity . ”
In the end, she was still a young child . Her view of Xuan Tian Hua was that of a deity . In truth, it was not just Xiang Rong . Even Feng Yu Heng would not know how to look at Xuan Tian Hua . Thinking about it, the only word that came to mind was deity .
She patted Xiang Rong’s head: “Eleven-years-old, it’s an age where you should still be in school . I really don’t know what sort of sins the people of this era are committing, to actually rely on an eleven-year-old girl to bear the hopes of the entire family . To be forced to worry so soon about their own lives . Xiang Rong, if you trust second sister and want to live happily, forget about all of these things . This was never something that you should be worrying about . At the very least, wait until you are of marriageable age to worry about these things . ”
There was a bit more that she did not say . In truth, even 15 was still early . At 15-years-old, one could go out and experience their naive first love, but for her to accept going out to get married at the age of 15 was quite a stretch . The reason that she did not resist Xuan Tian Ming too much was that she was already a soul in her 20s . But in this era, Xiang Rong had been taught to become like some sort of monster, and this made it so that she could not help but become interested . “If I ever have a daughter, I definitely will not allow her to fall into this from a young age . ” She subconsciously voiced her own thoughts . She then saw a look of pleasant amazement on Xiang Rong’s face .
“Second sister, Xiang Rong is already eleven-years-old . I am already not young . ”
She laughed . She knew that it was impossible for this concept to proliferate so quickly . She could only give up on this topic, only telling Xiang Rong: “Trust me and don’t think about it . Nobody is able to predict the future . You can’t, I can’t, and seventh brother also can’t . Relax and grow a little bit at a time . There’s no rush . ”
Finally, it was the day for the matriarch to be carried out . Because the old home in Feng Tong county had already been ruined by the floods, the matriarch could only be buried in a cemetery 20 li to the West of the capital .
This day, aside from the pregnant Han shi, everyone else in the Feng family was present . The only son, Feng Jin Yuan, was at the front of the procession . The grandson of the first wife, Zi Rui, and the granddaughter of the first wife, Feng Yu Heng, were carrying the coffin . Behind them were Xiang Rong and Fen Dai . Even further back were the Cheng shi sisters, An shi and Jin Zhen .
There were two coffins accompanying this funeral procession . One contained the matriarch, and one was for Jin Zhen . To the outside, it was announced that Jin Zhen had died because of grief over the matriarch’s death . To the inside, it was directly stated that Jin Zhen would be buried to accompany the matriarch .
As for how Jin Zhen died, not a single person asked . Feng Jin Yuan wanted to kill Jin Zhen, thus there were at least 100 methods, and Jin Zhen deserved to die . This was also something that nobody doubted . Feng Yu Heng had never had a goddess’ heart . From her previous life to her current life, the principle that she adhered to was: If you treat me well, I will treat you better . If you treat me poorly, I will definitely make you want to die . When it came to these principles, she did not differentiate between care about familiar or not . Not a single person could change it . ”
The matriarch’s funeral procession was rather decent . Although it could not be compared to when he was still the standard first rank prime minister, it was definitely more proper than anything that a standard fifth rank official’s family could do . Even the coffin had some gold wires .
The funeral lasted from dawn until noon . When the matter was finally concluded, the Feng family kowtowed three times in front of the matriarch’s coffin before things were completed .
On the way back to the manor, the group was a little subdued . In the past year, the Feng family had lost a number of people . From Chen shi to Feng Zi Hao, there was also Chen Yu and the matriarch, and even Jin Zhen could be counted in . Perhaps even Kang Yi and Ru Jia, who had been the wife and daughter, respectively, needed to be counted in . A formerly great family had suddenly been reduced to such a degree .
Feng Yu Heng sat in the Feng family’s carriage and listened to the sounds coming from outside the curtain . There were sounds of things being sold and negotiations . Occasionally, the sounds of playing around could be heard coming from the restaurants . There were also sounds of children crying . The sound of people around the city filled her ears . She felt that this was truly more human .
Life should have this sort of liveliness, unlike the Feng manor, where the various courtyards did as they pleased and there were battles to the death between concubines and siblings . In truth, she did not want for that many people to end up dying; however, people were not able to act as she had hoped . Once they had received a little, they would want more . Once they received more, they would want better . From Chen shi to Jin Zhen, they all sought hardship, yet Feng Jin Yuan placed all of the blame on her .
She asked Huang Quan and Wang Chuan: “Have you heard when the Feng family will be moving out?”
The two shook their heads, and Wang Chuan said: “I just know that his Highness the fifth prince gave lord Feng some money to allow him to buy back the deed from young miss . I also heard that his Highness the fifth prince gave the Feng family a new residence as a part of the betrothal gift to the fourth young miss . Thinking about it, the Feng family should be moving over there, and I have not heard how the residence granted by his Majesty will be taken care of . ”
