The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan
Chapter 108: Justice is late but arrives
Lord Qian was startled and hurriedly stood up and went down the hall to help Madam Feng up.
He would never dare to accept this gift. Not to mention that Old Madam Feng had made great contributions to the country when she was young, even her first-rank imperial decree made it difficult for Lord Qian to accept her gift.
The lawyer at the side hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair. Old Madam Feng was very old and had been injured on the battlefield, so her legs were not very flexible.
He sat down without any hesitation.
Feng Feiyan was very nervous because Liu Rou was the niece of Old Madam Feng.
A big part of the reason why she could become Lord Feng's concubine was because of Old Madam Feng's face.
Otherwise, how could the legitimate daughter of Fanyang Lu tolerate her husband taking a concubine?
When Lord Feng saw Old Madam Feng coming, he happily helped Aunt Rou up, and Aunt Rou half leaned in Lord Feng's arms.
With tears of grievance in her eyes and her head lowered, only Feng Feiyan saw the fleeting look of pride in her eyes.
Madam Xiao San also thought that Madam Feng came to support Aunt Rou.
She bowed to Old Madam Feng and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Madam, today it was just a concubine who made a mistake, how could I have alarmed you.
When my sister died that year, my in-laws all worshipped Buddha in the temple and did not entertain guests. "
When Mrs. Xiao San said this, she had a questioning tone. Although her sister died of illness, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was caused by Aunt Rou's anger.
Madam Feng's inaction made Aunt Rou even more daring.
After hearing what Madam Xiao San said, Old Madam Feng lowered her head in shame.
He supported himself with one hand on the nanny beside him, and stood up tremblingly, and bowed deeply to Madam Xiao San again.
Madam Xiao San remained unmoved and just looked at Madam Feng with a wary look on her face.
"This gift is to apologize to the Fanyang Lu family on behalf of the General's Mansion. It was because I failed to discipline my son that he ended up doing such an absurd thing of favoring his concubine over his wife."
No one understood what the old lady meant by this. Master Feng, who was standing aside, was dissatisfied with Old Madam Feng's talk of favoring a concubine over his wife.
"Mother, take Rou'er back first. Why bring up the past now?"
Master Feng did not think he was wrong. He had long since stopped loving Lu. Ever since he met his cousin, his heart had been filled with her.
Mrs. Lu is too petty and intolerant.
Otherwise, she and Rou'er would have served him peacefully. He was just seeking his own death, and he never felt that he was wrong.
"Kneel down!" Mrs. Feng scolded.
Lord Feng was somewhat incredulous. Of course he couldn't bring himself to kneel down in front of so many people.
But Mrs. Feng's face was livid and she would not allow any doubt. Lord Feng had no choice. If he wanted to take his cousin away safely today, he had to rely on his mother.
He lifted his robe and knelt down, and seeing this, Aunt Rou also knelt down with him. She also looked at Master Feng with tenderness and affection in her eyes.
The hall was completely silent, and everyone was guessing what Old Madam Feng was going to do.
Lord Qian was also there, and he had gone over the matter several times in his mind. He thought about it over and over again, wondering what he should do if Old Madam Feng pleaded for Liu Rou, or used her merits to suppress him.
"Master Qian." Old Madam Feng spoke, and Master Qian was startled.
"The servants of the General's Mansion were all witnesses to Liu Rou's crime. You can ask them to question them one by one and collect evidence.
The sentence should be judged as it should be, and there is no need to consider the face of the General's Mansion. "
When Mr. Qian saw that what Mrs. Feng said did not seem to be false, he felt relieved and responded.
When Aunt Rou heard what Old Madam Feng said, she started crying again. She knelt down beside Old Madam Feng, hugged her legs and started crying.
"Aunt, save me, I won't dare to do it again. You promised my father that you would take good care of me, you can't just ignore me."
The nanny who was serving Old Madam Feng saw that Madam Rou was about to fall on Old Madam Feng's legs, so she stepped forward, pulled her away, and threw her to the ground.
Seeing this, Lord Feng started to curse: "You old rascal, how dare you lay hands on my aunt."
That nanny had also been to the battlefield with Old Madam Feng, and was not afraid of Lord Feng's scolding at all.
He straightened his back and raised his eyelids: "Master, the old lady's leg disease has been getting more and more painful recently.
Aunt Rou lies on the old lady's lap like this, do you think the old lady can bear it?"
Lord Feng blushed and said, "There's no need to be so rude to her. Can't you just talk to her nicely?"
"That's enough!" Mrs. Feng said.
"Liu Rou, I think I have done my best for you. Your parents died, and I took you to my mansion to take care of you, and I treated you with the same respect as the legitimate daughter of the mansion.
But how did you treat me? I found a good marriage for you, but if you didn't like it, you just said so. Why did you have to climb into your cousin's bed? "
Aunt Rou saw that Old Madam Feng had exposed all her past, so she didn't care and said, "Aunt, my cousin and I are truly in love."
Madam Feng didn't care what Aunt Rou said, but immersed herself in her memories: "It's my fault, you are a restless person.
It was because of your father that I tolerated you time and time again, and that’s why I made such a big mistake.”
"After Mrs. Lu was pissed off by you, I wanted to send you away. Do you still remember what you promised me?"
Aunt Rou felt guilty and was afraid to look into Old Madam Feng's eyes.
Madam Feng laughed at herself, "Promise me that you will never dream of the position of the principal wife again, and you will never compete with Feiyang for the position of the crown prince.
I will allow you to stay in the mansion, right?"
"I was really blinded by my own greed. I actually believed in a poisonous snake like you."
"Lord Qian, let's do what we have to do." Old Madam Feng turned away, no longer looking at Aunt Rou, nor listening to Lord Feng's plea.
Lord Qian acted quickly and immediately ordered someone to take Madam Rou away.
The verdict was announced: "The criminal Liu Rou framed others and caused Feng Feiyang to be beaten and injured. Considering that his life was not harmed, he is sentenced to thirty strokes of the cane and three years of exile."
From the side hall came the sound of someone hitting someone with a stick. Aunt Rou's mouth had already been stuffed with a smelly cloth strip, so she couldn't make a sound even if she screamed.
Lord Feng was infatuated and wanted to rush over to take the punishment for Aunt Rou, but he was held back by the yamen runners.
Old Madam Feng then looked at Feng Feiyan and her brother and said, "Feiyan, Grandmother is sorry for you."
At this point, Old Madam Feng also burst into tears.
Feng Feiyan saw that Aunt Rou received the punishment she deserved, and she also sought justice for her brother.
He did not express any dissatisfaction with Madam Feng's previous inaction.
She just bowed distantly: "Feiyan thanks grandma."
Madam Feng didn't care, "Good boy, tomorrow I will write a letter to ask for your brother to be crowned as the Crown Prince.
Don't worry, no one in the General's Mansion will dare to embarrass you and your brother again, unless I die!"
Although Madam Feng was old, she still had a ruthless spirit. She spoke these words in the court in a sonorous and powerful voice, and the people outside the door could hear them clearly.
The onlookers love to hear about the feuds between wealthy families, many of which are just gossip or false rumors.
There are very few cases like the one in the General's Mansion, where all the masters were torn apart in the court and justice defeated evil.
After hearing what Old Madam Feng said, they were all overwhelmed with emotion and cheered.
