When Feng Jinyuan returned to the mansion, he saw Jin Zhen standing at the door of the mansion and looking at him from a distance. He felt a little moved for a moment. He had so many wives and concubines, and there were four people in the mistress of the Feng family, and now he had a flat wife. However, at this time, the one who could stand at the door of the mansion was Jin Zhen, who was carried to the position of concubine by a slave.

Feng Jinyuan got off the carriage, and Jin Zhen immediately came up. He grabbed Jin Zhen's shoulder, patted him twice, and said in a deep voice: "Go in and say." He put down his hand, held Jin Zhen's little hand tightly, and pulled someone into the mansion.

Jin Zhen was a little worried and wanted to ask a few questions, but she felt that Feng Jinyuan's expression was so bad that she was so scared that she didn't dare to speak. But she still couldn't help but reminded: "The old lady got angry because of the eldest lady's incident. She was still crying when I came out. I wonder how it was going."

Feng Jinyuan held his hand tighter again, and there was sweat on his forehead.

Before the two of them could reach the door, they heard the old lady screaming: "Cook all her things for me! Don't leave them as well, it's disgusting!"

Feng Jinyuan paused, then quickly stepped inside. As soon as his feet crossed the threshold, a scepter flew over with a whoosh. Then the old lady cursed: "You still have the face to come back! If you hadn't indulged that girl again and again, could she have made such a big mess for the Feng family? Can she harm her sister again and again? The Feng family depends on Aheng, not Feng Chenyu at all. Do you understand?"

As soon as this was said, no one expected that Xiangrong, who had never liked to speak, suddenly sneered, and then said: "Grandmother's mind changed so quickly. It would be great if it was like this at the beginning, and the second sister would not have lived so hard."

An, who has always been cautious in his words and actions, did not stop her this time and expressed his support for his daughter silently.

Feng Jinyuan turned his face, "What's the hard work for her?" When he said this, he clenched his teeth, and anyone could tell that the father hated his second daughter to the extreme.

If it were in the past, Feng Jinyuan's attitude would have been approved by many people. At least Fandai and Han must be on the same side as him now. But this time it was different. Fandai not only did not agree with him, but instead whispered: "The third sister is right."

"What did you say?" Feng Jinyuan almost thought he had heard it wrong.

But soon, the Han family, An family, Cheng sisters, and even Jin Zhen began to attack Feng Jinyuan. Especially Han family, they saw her holding her belly and saying, "It would be fine if the eldest lady is not careful, but she will be sent to the Xiang Prince's Mansion to embarrass her. It doesn't matter if she dies alone, but don't implicate others!"

Feng Jin's face turned blue with anger. He pointed to the people in the room and asked, "It's right that something happened, but Chen Yu was sentenced to beheaded. Why don't you see any compassion? She is your relative!"

His words were not responded to. Although the old lady stopped crying, she had no good expression. Feng Yuheng's frightening to her was so scared that she had no place to vent, so she had to throw herself at Chen Yu.

After a long time, Feng Jinyuan thought no one could speak, but at this moment, he suddenly heard Yaorong say coldly again: "She deserves it!"

One sentence deserves everyone's voice. It's conceivable that Rong and An are holding on to Feng Yuheng, while others are calculating their own gains and losses. Feng Chenyu is trying to die and they can watch the fun, but if it concerns their life and death, they will definitely deserve it even if they die.

Feng Jinyuan felt a chill emanating from all over his body. Did the whole family finally start to shift their hearts towards Feng Yuheng? He was so angry that he pointed at Han and asked, "How much benefit did that girl promise you? And you--" He looked at Fan Dai again: "Do you understand who is the head of the Feng family?"

Han was timid and dared not speak. Seeing that her father was angry, Fan Dai lowered her head and said nothing. At this time, Cheng Junman said: "Master, don't blame women and children. It's not that the county lord promised any benefits, but that the eldest lady promised too many disadvantages. At this time, shouldn't the master think about how the Feng family should avoid this difficulty? Or should you feel ashamed and angry that the Feng family can raise such a daughter, but why are you thinking about blaming the county lord? This matter has nothing to do with the county lord at all."

The old lady thought so too. She asked Feng Jinyuan: "What do you say about this matter in the palace?"

Feng Jinyuan woke up and realized that now was not the time to hold the responsibility. What was important was the attitude in the palace, but... "I didn't see the emperor at all."

Cheng Junmei asked: "Is it because the master didn't go, or the emperor didn't meet?"

Feng Jinyuan replied, "The emperor hasn't seen him."

The family was silent again, and they all guessed in their hearts what kind of disaster this time would bring to the Feng family.

Outside the hall, the housekeeper He Zhong hurried in again, looking panicked, and his voice trembled: "Old lady, master, someone from the palace has sent an order."

Feng Jinyuan felt a "boom" in his ear, and his body fell tilted, almost falling. Jin Zhen helped him with a hand, but he didn't have much strength, and his hands were trembling.

The old lady was supported by Cheng Junman and stood up from the ground. Everyone supported each other out of the front yard. When Feng Jinyuan saw that it was Zhang Yuan’s personal order.

Although Zhang Yuan is a eunuch, he is the personal eunuch next to the emperor. He is very favored and will not easily be an eunuch. Although it is not the first time he has been sent to the Feng family, he gave Feng Yuheng Houyi bow that time. What are you doing this time?

Feng Jinyuan walked forward a few steps, "Eunuch Zhang, what is your intention to come here in person?"

Zhang Yuan glanced at Feng Jinyuan, and his face was very bad. After looking into the crowd, his face became even worse.

"Why didn't you see the county lord?"

Feng Jinyuan was stunned and then said, "She may be in her mansion. But her father-in-law needs her to come and answer the order together?"

Zhang Yuan waved his hand, "No, it's just that the new master in the palace made roast duck. The skin was very crispy. Before we left, the emperor specially asked the county lord to bring a try. Since the county lord is not in Feng Mansion, then ask someone to send it to the county lord's mansion." As he spoke, he raised his hand again, and the two eunuchs carrying food boxes followed immediately turned around and left the mansion and went to the next door.

Feng Jinyuan wanted to say, could Zhang Yuan come to deliver ducks to Feng Yuheng?

Obviously, his thoughts were too beautiful. Immediately afterwards, he saw Zhang Yuan trembling the imperial edict in his hand and sang: "Feng Jinyuan, accept the edict."

The Feng family knelt all over the ground, and the voice of the imperial edict came as well: "The left prime minister Feng Jinyuan was not strict in teaching his daughter, abandoning the royal dignity and damaging the reputation of the Dashun royal family, and his intentions should be punished. However, I thought that the lord of Ji'an County was working hard for the country and could not bear to severely punish his family, so I exempted the Feng family from being killed. Feng Jinyuan was demoted to the fifth-rank Zhongji Hall Grand Secretary, and he had no right to court early this day. I am here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old lady fell to the ground with a pounce. Cheng Junman took her in her arms without showing too many surprises. Such an ending was not an exaggeration for Feng Jinyuan.

Seeing that Feng Jinyuan was still kneeling on the ground and had no reaction, Zhang Yuan closed the imperial edict in his hand and handed it forward: "Master Feng, please accept the imperial edict!"

The Prime Minister became a Grand Secretary, and the first rank was reduced to the fifth rank. Feng Jinyuan was confused and almost unconsciously reached out to take the imperial edict.

Zhang Yuan added: "I haven't thanked you yet."

He bowed down and said, "Thank you, Lord, goodwill."

The old lady's wailing sounded again, from weak to strong, and Zhang Yuan frowned.

Feng Jinyuan was in a bad mood at first. The old lady cried like this, making him even more upset and couldn't help but yell: "Stop crying!"

He never talked to the old lady like this. When he suddenly came like this, the old lady was really scared. Her crying sounded stuck in her throat, neither up nor down, and she coughed so hard that she held her back.

After finally waiting for her to finish coughing, Zhang Yuan said again: "Old lady, don't cry in a hurry. There is something else to remind Grand Secretary Feng." He looked at Feng Jinyuan coldly, raised his head and looked around Feng Mansion, and then said slowly: "This house was originally given to the first-rank left chief, and now Lord Feng has been demoted to the fifth-rank Grand Secretary, so naturally this place cannot be lived in again. Of course, the emperor is still sympathetic to Lord Feng, so he specially ordered people to choose another house in the southwest of the capital and gave it to him, so that the Feng family can be moved away within five days."

"This..." Feng Jinyuan was stunned, "Move away? This house was given by the emperor at the beginning!"

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes, "Don't Lord Feng understand what our family said just now? The house was given by the emperor, but the emperor gave it to the prime minister of the current dynasty. Now you are no longer the prime minister, so you will naturally take it back. However, the Feng family does not have to move. The emperor said that if the Feng family wants to continue living here, then pay 8,000 taels of silver every month to pay for rent. The first time it takes half a year to rent, it will be enough for Lord Feng to pay 48,000 taels of silver to the yamen."

Feng Jinyuan wiped his sweat, 8,000 taels a month, which is not a small amount. Even in the heyday of the Feng family, it would be quite difficult to take out such a large sum of money without the support of the Shen family. Now the public account has long lost money, so where can I pay the 48,000 taels?

The old lady was already up by Cheng Junman. When she heard such a large number, she almost fainted again. She discussed with Zhang Yuan: "Can't you lose a little?"

Zhang Yuan said to the old lady: "If you want to bargain, you can't talk to our family, please go to the palace to talk to the emperor. But..." He paused and said: "The emperor has another oral order to send it to the old lady. The old lady is weak, so there is no need to kneel down. Just say that, just stand and listen. Thinking that the old lady was the mother of the left prime minister of the current dynasty, the emperor specially granted you a first-rank imperial edict. Now your son is only a fifth-rank official and he has no qualifications to go to court, so your imperial edict must be taken back together."

The old lady was numb, and the successive blows made her mind confused. She didn't care about thanking her, but just kept asking Feng Jinyuan: "Do we want to move?"

Feng Jinyuan was still thinking about something and was not in the mood to talk to her. Cheng Junman sighed softly and said, "It is definitely necessary to move. Now there is no money in the account. Even if we sell our business, how long can we last? This house will not be kept sooner or later."

Zhang Yuan nodded, "Madam said yes." Then he said to Feng Jinyuan: "If Lord Feng has no doubts, then our family will be on the fourth day, oh, that is, the day after the execution of the eldest lady in the mansion, and then I will ask Lord Feng to hand over the land deed of this mansion to our family so that our family can go back and report to the emperor."
