Beautiful View on the Western Lake on a March Day~
Once Feng Yu Heng said this, Chen Yu's heart leaped into her throat, but this feeling that arose immediately sank back down.
With Feng Yu Heng handling her dowry, what could she possibly be given?
The Feng family's power had fallen into Feng Yu Heng's hands like this. It was unexpected, and it left them unable to resist. Even Fen Dai understood that with Qian Zhou sowing chaos, it became a hatred between two countries. This was something that would lead the two countries to go to war. Even someone as greedy as the matriarch gave away the dowry that had been sent. She no longer dared to do anything. Moreover, she still remembered Han shi's words from that day. The head wives of the Feng family were all cursed. Everyone that had the right to make decisions ended up having bad endings.
Chen Yu also knew that she definitely could not get upset with Feng Yu Heng at this sort of time. Presently, the Feng family did not need face. It needed to preserve itself. Right now, Feng Yu Heng was the Feng family's lifeline. Only with her being present could the Feng family continue to live on.
This sort of Feng Yu Heng made Chen Yu feel envious. At the same time, this was the appearance that she aspired to have. From a young age, she knew what her fate was, and she knew of the Feng family's hopes for her. The protection provided to the Feng family today by Feng Yu Heng should have been provided by her. She had to become the Empress, the phoenix under the heavens. Protecting her maternal family, she would have the entire Feng family feel proud of her and respect her.
That was why Feng Chen Yu calmed down and told herself that no matter what she went through, as long as she could successfully marry into the Xiang Palace, everything would be fine.
Feng Yu Heng calling her mother caused Cheng Jun Man to feel a bit moved, and she felt even more flattered by the favor. She was a smart person, and she would not become complacent from being called mother. Instead, she would become even calmer.
"The custom for when the daughter of a concubine marries out of the family has already been set. Our family's husband is a standard first rank official. When the family's child marries out of the family, even if they are the daughter of a concubine, the dowry should be extremely plentiful, but..."
This but was something that Chen Yu understood as meaning it would be very difficult to get a plentiful dowry. In the end, she was still a little bit unreconciled, quietly turning her gaze to the matriarch. She hoped to see her reaction. Who knew that the matriarch had her eyes closed to rest. She had no intention of participating in the discussion. Even granny Zhao stood there, feigning ignorance.
She sighed to herself and stood up, taking the initiative to say to Cheng Jun Man: "Daughter knows that the family is struggling. That's why, when it comes to the dowry, I have no requests. I will leave everything for to mother to decide."
Cheng Jun Man looked at Feng Yu Heng, "What does county princess think?"
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "Even if you do not have any requests, you are still the eldest young miss of my Feng family. How could the daughter of the dignified prime minister's manor have something too shabby."
Once these words were said, Han shi and Fen Dai also became nervous, especially Fen Dai, who rushed to say: "The family's money was all spent when bringing that guilty woman from Qian Zhou into the manor. How is there anything left to make a dowry for her?"
Han shi also spoke up: "Our face needs to be taken care of, but how many people are keeping their eyes on the Feng family? Perhaps now is not the time to be openly lavish."
