Cheng Jun Man's words made Feng Jin Yuan confused. He blankly asked. "What is the point of receipt for a loan? Where is the need?"
"Of course, the receipt is for the 200 thousand taels owed to the second young miss." Cheng Jun Man blinked and solemnly told him. "The money was borrowed by the old mistress, and spent on the Feng family. Currently, the second young lady is only 13 years old and has yet to become an adult. He had no obligation to repay the Feng family's debt. Moreover, even if she was old enough, she would marry someone else's house. He will enter the list of the imperial family, and he will have less reason to bear the debt of our Feng family.
Today, the second young miss took out 200 thousand taels to free the Feng family from an emergency. We should feel grateful, but we definitely can't accept it as if it's natural. That is why the husband must prepare a loan receipt. A period should be set when this money will be repaid. Only then will we not be subjected to ridicule, nor will we be looked down upon by our children."
His words caused Feng Jin Yuan's face to change between bright red and pale white. He hated that he could not find a hole to enter, but at this moment, Zi Rui spoke up. "Zi Rui has not returned to the capital for half a year. This family, has it been destroyed by the father to the point that even 200 thousand taels cannot be taken out?"
Feng Jin Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to refute him, but Zi Rui continued. "I remember that before marrying the eldest daughter of Qian Zhou, father spent a lot of money to buy new things for her." While he was saying this, he shook his head, "Dad, you are the head of the family, but why do you only think of yourself when doing things. Why don't you think about your child?"
Zi Rui was young, and she was also short. However, the words he said were the words of an adult. Scolded by such a small child, Feng Jin Yuan had no face anymore. He trembled and pointed to Zi Rui and wanted to curse her but, Cheng Jun Mei was the first to speak. "Young master is His Majesty's junior disciple. Husband must think with heart before speaking."
Feng Jin Yuan felt his life was very unfortunate. A princess had become a county princess and a son had become the Emperor's junior disciple, which caused her to feel even more helpless. The two chief wives were the Empress' nephews, and she could only talk to them from a lower position. The matriarch was the only one she could talk to, but now, she had passed away.
His heart ached, and he finally choked and started crying.
This was the first time she had actually cried after the leader's mother died. While crying, he walked towards the mourning hall. After she knelt down in front of the coffin, her cries became lamentations.
Others came back with her and saw her crying. When he finally got tired from crying and his voice became silent, Cheng Jun Man finally said. "If the husband does not want to bear this debt, we can use the two hamlets left behind by the old mistress to pay for it."
Feng Jin Yuan did not mind and nodded thoughtlessly, accepting the arrangement.
Feng Yu Heng looked around at the people in the room who all had their own thoughts. He nodded to himself and said. "From two hamlets, one will be given to Xiang Rong, and one will be given to Fen Dai. It will be used to add to their dowry when they get married." After saying this, he once again withdrew Zi Rui and Xiang Rong's hands to return to Tong Sheng's pavilion.
He has no big intentions. He simply held Xiang Rong's hand and said. "Because it has been given to you, accept it. In the future, no matter who you marry, having a bigger dowry will be better, and you will not be intimidated by anyone in your husband's family. If the old madam were to borrow money for herself, I would not do anything to help. But he did it with good intentions. He had borrowed money to help grandparents settle in their new home. Back when we returned to the Feng Tong area, the clan elder had treated me quite well. Spending a little money is not a loss."
With him saying this much, Xiang Rong could no longer resist without looking argumentative, so he nodded and sincerely said. "Thank you, second sister."
The group returned to the Tong Sheng pavilion, and Zi Rui rushed forward as he stepped inside the manor. Feng Yu Heng looked up and saw Yao Xian standing there with open arms, waiting for the boy to dive into him.
Seeing Zi Rui being hugged and then being twisted around by Yao Xian, he seemed to have returned to his own childhood. He had also been picked up by his grandfather and rotated around. He also remembered when he pulled his beard and called him the god old man. This all felt as if it had just happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, this had already become a different world. Fortunately, the heavens were sympathetic, and he was able to reunite with his grandfather in Da Shun. This is true luck in the midst of all misfortunes.
He walked over and patted Zi Rui, saying. "Grandfather is getting older, and you're getting very heavy. You'll end up with a grueling grandfather."
Zi Rui hugged Yao Xian's neck and refused to let go, saying in seriousness. "Then Zi Rui will eat less starting today. My body will become lighter. Like this, grandfather would be able to continue to hold Zi Rui."
Yao Xian laughed loudly and brought Zi Rui to Yao shi's courtyard. While walking, he said. "Eat as much as you want. No matter how heavy you get, grandfather will be able to carry you. But you should go see your mother now. He missed you so much!"
Feng Yu Heng watched the old and young leave, and the smile on his face could not be eliminated. Xiang Rong pulled his sleeve. "Second brother, I'm so hungry."
Feng Yu Heng was also very hungry. Originally, he wanted to eat as soon as he returned to the manor. Who knew there would be so much trouble in Feng's house. With this delay, the sky had already darkened.
He quickly ordered the servants to prepare the food. He then brought Xiang Rong back to his own courtyard.
